樂團BIO



Iron Maiden(鐵娘子,或譯為鐵處女)是一個出身於英國東倫敦的重金屬樂團,

由原Gypsy's Kiss(吉普賽之吻樂團)與Smiler(微笑者樂團)的貝斯手Steve Harris(史提夫·哈里斯)於1975年成立。

鐵娘子是重金屬樂界最成功與最具影響力的樂團之一,在全世界已經累積銷售八千萬張專輯。

2002年該團獲頒艾佛·諾維洛獎(Ivor Novello Awards)的國際成就獎。










該團成立以來在許多主要音樂活動中都曾擔任主場,例如Rock in Rio(里約搖滾音樂節)、

與Black Sabbath共同演出的Ozzfest(奧茲音樂節)、

於Donington Park(多寧頓公園)舉辦的Monsters of Rock(搖滾怪獸音樂節)、

Download Festival(下載音樂節)及Reading and Leeds Festivals(里丁/利茲音樂節)。










雖然鐵娘子是一個受到Deep Purple與Thin Lizzy影響的重金屬樂團,

但是因為前主唱Paul Di'Anno的關係,

他們早期的作品具有龐克搖滾的色彩。










鐵娘子的吉祥物Eddie是一個經常出現在專輯封面以及演唱會現場的恐怖東西。

在1992年以前,Eddie一直是由德瑞·克雷格斯所畫,其間也曾有不同風格的畫家如梅爾文·格蘭特(Melvyn Grant)設計過各種分身。

Eddie也曾出現在以該團成員為主角的第一人稱射擊遊戲《艾德獵人》(ED Hunter),

也出現過在許多書籍、漫畫及該團週邊商品。










當2007年6月巡迴演唱會結束後,他們將完成成立31年來第兩千場公演。

感想


Iron Maiden,

一個經典到不能在經典的重金屬樂團,

聽重金屬的人,

如果跟別人說你不知道Iron Maiden,

那麼恐怕別人會笑你是偽金屬咖。









與Black Sabbath同樣,

Iron Maiden在重金屬界的地位,

是不容忽視的,

許多後輩團體,

都受到Iron Maiden的深遠影響,

因為他們所詮釋的,

就是那種最基本的heavy metal,

也是所有metal分類的源頭,

在那遙遠的70年代,

Iron Maiden為這種樂風,

開啟了一條光明大道。









當時英國興起了一股英國重金屬新浪潮(New Wave of British Heavy Metal),

主力的樂團之一就是Iron Maiden,

也影響了美國的樂團音樂,

Metallica、Megadeth等知名大團造就了美國重金屬音樂的興起。









為什麼Iron Maiden會是經典團,

原因不只是在於它是重金屬音樂開始時的樂團之一,

而是在於他們對於重金屬界所帶來的深遠影響,

多少人因為他們的音樂,

而踏入了重金屬的領域,

多少人因為他們的音樂,

走進了重金屬的世界,

多少人因為他們的音樂,

拿起了樂器去開創屬於他們自己的音樂之路,

因為這樣,

他們才被稱作是經典,

因為這樣,

他們不論在多少年後,

在重金屬樂迷心中,

他們會永遠都是那個穎領在前頭,

帶著不同樂風的重金屬後輩們,

去開創更寬廣更遼闊的重金屬世界。









或許對於經典團,

你會覺得,

他們的歌好老派,

好沒有快感之類的,

但是當你在聽black metal, death metal, speed metal等這些你們所喜愛的樂風時,

可曾想過,

他們的根本,

就是heavy metal,

而讓這些根本延續下去的,

就是這些被世人稱為所謂經典的樂團。

Iron Maiden: Different World
 



You lead me on the path

Keep showing me the way

I feel a little lost

A little strange today



I think I'll take a hold

Of whatever comes my way

Then we'll see what happens

Take it day by day



I thought I had it all

I had it all worked out

Just what my future held

That there would be no doubt



But then the card came up

And I took another turn

But I don't know if it's

Fulfillment that I yearn



Tell me what you can hear

And then tell me what you see

Everybody has a different way

To view the world



I would like you to know

When you see the simple things

To appreciate this life

It's not too late to learn



Don't want to be here

Somewhere I'd rather be

But when I get there

I might find it's not for me



Tell me what you can hear

And then tell me what you see

Everybody has a different way

To view the world



I would like you to know

When you see the simple things

To appreciate this life

It's not too late to learn



Tell me what you can hear

And then tell me what you see

Everybody has a different way

To view the world



I would like you to know

When you see the simple things

To appreciate this life

It's not too late to learn



Don't want to be here

Somewhere I'd rather be

But when I get there

I might find it's not for me



Don't know what I want

Or where I want to be

Feeling more confused

The more the days go by
