Two line-ups of Iron Maiden performing in 1982 and 2008.

Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris. After several lineup changes prior to their recording career, they settled on Harris, vocalist Paul Di'Anno, guitarist Dave Murray and drummer Doug Sampson. The band currently consists of Harris and Murray with guitarist Adrian Smith (who first joined in 1980), vocalist Bruce Dickinson (who first joined in 1981), drummer Nicko McBrain (since 1982) and guitarist Janick Gers (since 1990).

History

The bands original line-up in December 1975, included Harris with singer Paul Mario Day, guitarists Terry Rance and Dave Sulivan and drummer Ron Matthews. ^[1] Day left in October 1976 due to not having enough stage charisma, he was replaced by Dennis Wilcock. ^[2] Harris temporarily disbanded Iron Maiden in December 1976 so he could replace Rance and Sulivan with guitarists Dave Murray and Bob Sawyer. ^[3] By mid-1977 Matthews, Murray and Sawyer were all fired, ^[4] and replaced by guitarist Terry Wapram and keyboardist Tony Moore and drummer Thunderstick (real name Barry Purkis). ^[4] This line-up only lasted one show before Moore was fired by Harris. ^[5]

Wapram stayed until Murray was reinstated in March 1978, ^[6] Wilcock and Thunderstick left shortly afterwards. ^[6] The band were quickly joined by Doug Sampson on drums, ^[7] and began auditioned new singers until Paul Di'Anno joined in November. ^[8] The band were also joined by second guitarist Paul Cairns in Winter 1978, ^[9] who played on their 1979 demo The Soundhouse Tapes . ^{[10] [11]} Cairns stayed for three months before being dismissed. ^[10]

The band were joined by guitarist Paul Todd in June 1979, ^[12] however he left after a week, ^[13] not playing any shows. ^[9] Tony Parsons was the bands next guitarist, joining in September 1979, before departing in December, soon after the band had signed to EMI, ^[14] Sampson also left around the same time. The band hired Dennis Stratton (guitar, backing vocals). Doug Sampson was dismissed from the band as he was unable to cope with the touring schedule and, at the suggestion of Stratton, was replaced by Clive Burr, with whom the band recorded their self-titled debut album in 1980. ^[15] Later that year, Stratton was replaced by Adrian Smith, due to musical and personal differences brought about by choosing not to travel with the band when supporting Kiss on the European leg of their Unmasked Tour. ^[16]

During the tour supporting their second studio effort, Di'Anno was fired from the band after drug and alcohol abuse affected his live performance. ^[17] Vocalist Bruce Dickinson left his previous band, Samson, to audition for Iron Maiden in September 1981 and joined shortly afterwards. After the release of their third album, The Number of the Beast , drummer Nicko McBrain replaced Burr, who left due to personal and scheduling problems on the subsequent Beast on the Road tour. ^[18] This is considered by many as their quintessential lineup, ^[19] with which they released a series of high-impact works. ^[20]

In 1990, prior to the recording of their eighth studio album, Smith was asked to leave the band due to a lack of enthusiasm, brought about by the "stripped-down" musical direction they were taking, which Smith considered "a step backwards" from the progressive direction they had been taking. ^[21] Janick Gers, an old friend of Dickinson's who performed on his debut solo album, became the new guitarist. This formation recorded one more album before Dickinson departed in 1993, in order to pursue his solo career further. ^[22]

The band listened to hundreds of tapes submitted by vocalists before asking Blaze Bayley to audition, ^[23] with whom they would go on to release two studio albums, after which Bayley left the band by mutual consent in January 1999. ^[24] At that point, the band were in talks with Dickinson, ^[24] who, after a meeting with Steve Harris and Rod Smallwood (the group's manager) in Brighton, ^[25] agreed to rejoin along with Adrian Smith, who was telephoned a few hours later. ^[26] Iron Maiden thus became a six-piece band and have gone on to make six further studio releases. The current lineup is now the longest and most stable in the band's history.

Notes

1. Harris founded the band in December 1975 ^[27] and is the group's only constant member. ^[28]
2. After Harris expressed his dissatisfaction with the abilities of then guitarists Dave Sullivan and Terry Rance, ^[28] Murray auditioned for the band in late 1976 at the suggestion of then vocalist Wilcock. ^[29] Following Rance and Sullivan's departure in December 1976, Murray joined the band for six months until he was sacked following an argument with Wilcock. ^[30] Six months later, Wilcock left the band and Murray was immediately reinstated and has remained with the band ever since. ^[6]
3. A childhood friend of Murray, ^[31] Smith was originally asked to join the band in 1979 when the band were on the verge of signing with EMI but turned them down to continue with his own band, Urchin. ^[32] A year later, Urchin split up and Smith joined Iron Maiden in November 1980. ^[33] Smith agreed to leave Iron Maiden in 1990 as he did not approve of the direction the band were aiming for on their next album, No Prayer for the Dying . ^[21] After a nine-year absence, during which he formed his own band, Psycho Motel, ^[34] and joined Dickinson's solo outfit, Smith was asked to rejoin Iron Maiden in 1999. ^[26]
4. Having admired the band from afar after first seeing them perform in 1980, ^[36] Dickinson agreed to leave his band Samson to audition for Iron Maiden in September 1981 and was immediately hired. ^[37] In 1993, after much deliberation, Dickinson decided to leave the band to focus on his solo career. ^[22] Following a gap of six years, during which he released four solo albums, the band's manager, Rod Smallwood, convinced Dickinson to rejoin the band in January 1999. ^[38]
5. McBrain became friends with Iron Maiden when his previous band, Trust, supported them in 1981. ^[39] When Burr was sacked in late 1982, McBrain was immediately invited to join the group. ^[40]
6. Upon Smith's departure from Iron Maiden in 1990, Gers, who was then a member of Dickinson's solo outfit, was asked to learn some of the band's songs for an audition held three days later, during which he was instantly hired. ^[41] When Smith returned to Iron Maiden in 1999, Harris insisted that Gers remained in the group, creating their current three-guitar lineup. ^[42]
7. The band's original drummer Matthews states he was expelled from the band by their second vocalist, Wilcock. ^[13]
8. As one of the band's original guitarists Rance disagreed on Murray's entrance in the band, taking it as a slight on his own ability. ^[2] To allow Murray to join Harris temporarily disbanded Iron Maiden in December 1976 and reformed the group soon afterwards without Rance or Dave Sullivan, the band's other original guitarist. ^[3]
9. According to Sullivan himself, he "wasn't too bothered" with the prospect of Murray joining the group as he understood that "the lead sound was a bit lacking." ^[2] However along with Rance, Sullivan was not invited to rejoin Iron Maiden when they temporarily disbanded in 1976. ^[3]
10. Day was the band's original lead vocalist but was the first to leave the group because according to Harris, "he didn't really have enough energy or charisma onstage." ^[29] Years later being interviewed he claimed the co-authorship of the song "Strange World", which never could be proven. ^[43]
11. Wilcock replaced original vocalist Day and was the first to introduce special effects to the band's stage show, including fake blood capsules (placed in his mouth as he'd run a sword across his lips) and face paint. ^[29] Wilcock convinced Harris to sack most of the band including Murray following a row they had after a show at the Bridgehouse pub, Canning Town in 1977. ^[4] It was also claimed in The Early Days documentary that Wilcock disliked Murray's girlfriend. ^[13] Eventually, Wilcock decided he'd had enough with the group and left to form his own band, "V1". ^[6]
12. Sawyer (who would later go by the name of "Rob Angelo") ^[13] would always try to upstage Murray, resulting in a confrontation with Harris (and expulsion from the group) after pretending to play guitar with his teeth when the audience could see that it was a trick. ^[44]
13. After Murray's dismissal from the group by Wilcock, Wapram was brought in as his replacement. Having only played in Iron Maiden as the sole guitarist, Wapram was sacked after expressing that he was not content with Murray's reinstatement following Wilcock's departure. ^[13]
14. Thunderstick's stint in the band was left notoriously short, lasting just the one show at the Bridgehouse in 1977. According to Harris, he performed poorly throughout the gig, including a particularly bad solo during which he shouted obscenities at the audience. Thunderstick would later claim that his bad performance was caused by a row with his wife. ^[5]
15. With both Murray and Sawyer expelled from the band, Harris decided to try a keyboardist. After one show with Moore (the same played with Thunderstick on drums) Harris scrapped the idea. ^[5]
16. Sampson first met Harris when they were both members of a band called Smiler in 1975. ^[45] When Harris formed Iron Maiden in December, Sampson was invited to join but refused deciding to leave music altogether, although he resumed drumming a short while later. ^[46] In April 1978, Sampson attended the band's last show with Thunderstick and, after a conversation with Harris that evening, he agreed to join the group. ^[7] Sampson remained with the band until they signed with EMI in 1979, after which he was dismissed on 22 December as he could not cope with the band's touring schedule. ^[47]
17. Following the departure of Wilcock, the band spent the summer and autumn of 1978 rehearsing while searching for a new vocalist. It was when the group were attending a heavy rock night at the Red Lion pub in Leytonstone that a friend of Harris' told them of Di'Anno and his ability as a singer. ^[48] A few weeks later he auditioned for the band in November 1978 and was immediately hired. ^[8] After participating on Iron Maiden's first two studio albums, Di'Anno was fired from the group for his increasing unreliability brought on by his drug and alcohol usage. ^[17]
18. Cairns (also known as "Mad Mac") briefly joined Iron Maiden in winter 1978. According to Sampson, Cairns did not fit in the band properly and left after three months. ^[9] Cairns himself states that the band dismissed him as they did not like his stage performance following a visit to a hospital. ^[10] Although uncredited Cairns appears on The Soundhouse Tapes demo. ^{[10] [11]}
19. Todd joined the band but never performed with them live as according to Harris, "his girlfriend wouldn't let him". ^[9] Todd was only in the band for a week ^[13] in June 1979. ^[12]
20. Parsons joined in September 1979 and stayed in the band for just over two months as he was reportedly unable to match Murray's ability, but did perform with the band on the BBC's Friday Rock Show (later included on the BBC Archives album). ^[9] Parsons left just a few weeks before the band signed their contract with EMI in December 1979. ^[14]
21. After Iron Maiden failed to hire Smith when they signed their deal with EMI in 1979, ^[49] Stratton was asked to audition for the band as Harris was aware of his abilities from seeing him perform regularly with a band named RDB. ^[50] It was during the recording of their debut studio album that Harris began noticing that Stratton's musical interests clashed with the rest of the band, culminating in an attempt to add extra vocal harmonies on the song "Phantom of the Opera", which Harris had removed. ^[51] He was eventually dismissed from Iron Maiden following a supporting tour with Kiss, during which Stratton spent little time with the rest of the group often choosing to travel with the road crew instead. ^[16]
22. Burr replaced previous drummer Sampson on December 26, 1979 at the suggestion of Stratton. ^[52] Burr was eventually fired from the band following their North American tour in 1982, during which it was claimed his performance was affected by his offstage activities, culminating in one such incident when according to Harris, Burr "spent most of the gig throwing up into a bucket at the side of his kit." ^[53] This account was disputed by Burr, ^[54] and in his autobiography, Bruce Dickinson claims the split had more to do with personal disagreements between Burr and bandleader Harris.
23. After hearing him perform with his previous band Wolfsbane, who supported Iron Maiden on their 1990 UK tour, Harris convinced Bayley to audition for the band in 1994. ^[23] During his two world tours with Iron Maiden Bayley suffered from vocal issues, ^[55] which Gers has since stated was partly the band's fault for forcing him to sing out of his natural vocal register, ^[56] and was dismissed from the band in January 1999. ^[24] Although the group were at that point negotiating Dickinson's return to Iron Maiden, Harris maintains that Bayley would still have been asked to leave the band if Dickinson had not rejoined. ^[57]
24. Since 1980, Kenney was employed by the band as Harris' bass technician. ^[58] Following Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album, in which the band used keyboards for the first time, Harris insisted that Kenney perform the keyboard parts live under the alias of "The Count". ^[59] Following this tour Kenney provided keyboards on their next four studio albums after which Harris took over playing keys with Kenney assisting. ^[60] He continued to provide the band's live keyboards, although unlike the Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour during which he performed on a forklift, Kenney would later play the keys backstage. ^[60] For the Maiden England World Tour 2012–2013, Kenney reprised his role as "The Count" during performances of the song "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". ^[61] On September 9 2022, he announced on Facebook that he had retired from Iron Maiden.
25. From 2022, he replaced Michael Kenney as Steve Harris' bass technician, and as a keyboard player on the concerts. ^[62]
26. Mick Wall reports that, following Dennis Wilcock's departure, the band spent six months rehearsing as a three-piece whilst looking for a new lead vocalist.
