An essential addition to the library of any Iron Maiden fan, this unique look back at the heavy metal giants examines the band's legacy through the lens of 50 key milestones.
It's tough to believe Iron Maiden's been around for a half-century, but author Dan Bukszpan has the receipts. In Iron Maiden at 50, Bukszpan pays tribute to the British metal legends on the occasion of their 50th anniversary by examining 50 of the most significant moments, performances, albums, singles, and personnel decisions from throughout their career. The resulting volume features:
  • Stunning concert and candid offstage photography
  • Images of memorabilia, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, concert T-shirts, backstage passes, and more
  • An Iron Maiden timeline
  • Complete discography
  • Bukszpan covers everything down through the decades:
  • Bassist Steve Harris founding the band in East London
  • Their first independent EP
  • Early success in Japan
  • Numerous personnel changes that resulted in the current stable lineup
  • Groundbreaking tours
  • The band's private Boeing 757, piloted by vocalist Bruce Dickinson
  • Dickinson's solo efforts
  • All the studio albums
  • ...and much more!
    In addition, thorough sidebars examine unique aspects of the band's career, such as the post-Maiden careers of former vocalists Paul Di'Anno and Blaze Bayley, and the 1984 Polish concerts that helped spur the band's global popularity.
    The result is an epic tribute to one of the most influential and admired bands in rock history—in a milestone year.
