Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

My absolute favorite Heavy Metal band... Iron Maiden.
These guys rock like none other! They have been around since 1975 cranking out their signature heavy, melodic sound. When an Iron Maiden song comes on the radio, there is no mistaking who it is. Although Bruce Dickenson was not the original lead singer, his operatic vocals have become a signature of Iron Maiden… of course there is also the melodic trio of guitar riffs from Adrian Smith, Dave Murray and Janick Gers in every Maiden song that would fit no other band. Almost 35 years later these guys are still cranking out the jams. Selling out shows, making movies, traveling around in their own jumbo jet... flown by Bruce Dickenson himself, (a licensed commercial airline pilot). When you look up the phrase "bad asses" in the dictionary, you should see the picture above. These guys are true bad asses!
Here is a video of one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs (there are many)... Wasted Years.
