I always like them growing up. I was born in 69 but never watch VH1. Never even flip through that part of the guide on my TV because I grew accustomed to all the old music channels being shite years ago. I happened to flip through the other night and saw "Iron Maiden" and stopped. Recorded the show and scheduled recordings for a lot more over the next week.

But yeah, I never knew this about the band. Very impressive how hard they worked and their dedication to fans. Also liked seeing them playing golf, tennis, and soccer. Damn good athletes. Their business model and branding was pure genius. Extreme respect.

Steve Harris got a look at West Ham, but wasn't quite good enough to hack it. Soccer with fan teams in different cities is still a big thing with them.

You should also look around for footage of concerts the band played behind the Iron Curtain in the early 80's. I have a DVD of one in Warsaw. They were always extremely dedicated to serving their fan base, regardless of where they were.

It's amazing that they hit the jackpot with Dickinson on their 3rd album, because they already had decent success before that. Just amazing that he turned out to be the Millennium Man of his generation.
