I wanted to put a list together of Iron Maiden tunes. They’ve been in the news recently, so I thought I’d show you 5 Amazing Iron Maiden Songs. They’ve got way more than that which are awesome tunes, but these are ones that always stick out to me.
It was so sad to hear about the passing of vocalist Paul Di’Anno. If you don’t know the name, he was on the first two full-length studio releases from the metal powerhouse. I have to tell you, for as much praise as Bruce Dickenson gets (and rightfully so), Paul was amazing in his own right. He has a deeper range, but could still hit some crazy high notes. I thought his voice blended nicely with the tunes they were writing back then.
Of course, Bruce is the voice most of us think of when we think of Iron Maiden. He’s got that power metal style down to a science and still sounds wonderful when performing live. Over the years, Maiden has experimented and tried various types of songwriting throughout their catalog, but they seem to almost always come back to epic rockers that have many twists and turns and several sections, that make me wonder how easy it is to remember the parts when they play them live!!
Whether you’re strictly into the first few albums or are enjoying their latest effort Senjutsu, you can’t go wrong. They have that solid beat from Nicko McBrain and those amazing riffs, it just works perfectly. They’ve influenced so many other bands that have come out, but to this day, Maiden is still one of the real masters of metal. They just do it so well.
So I thought we could take a look at 5 songs that just plain rock and are a fun ride to listen to. Let’s get into it!
