Iron Maiden

Profile:
Founded in London's East End in the late 70s, Iron Maiden released their first album in 1980, with the line-up of Paul Di'anno: vocals, Steve Harris: bass, Dennis Stratton: guitar, Dave Murray: guitar, Clive Burr: drums.

1981's "Killers" album saw Stratton replaced by Adrian Smith; 1982's "Number of the Beast" saw Di'anno replaced by Bruce Dickinson; 1983's "Piece of Mind" saw Burr replaced by Nicko McBrain; Adrian Smith quit and was replaced by Janick Gers for 1990's "No Prayer for the Dying".

When Bruce Dickinson quit in 1994 and was replaced by Wolfsbane's Blaze Bayley, the band lost a lot of their fanbase. They recorded two albums with Blaze before Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to the fold for 2000's "Brave New World", and 2003's "Dance of Death", making them a six-piece.
