Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from Leyton in east London. They formed in 1975 by bassist and songwriter Steve Harris shortly after he left his previous group, Smiler. Harris attributes the band's name to a film adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask from the novel by Alexandre Dumas. Steve Harris, Dave Murray and Doug Sampson spent the Summer and Autumn of 1978 rehearsing while they searched for a singer to complete the band's new line-up. A chance meeting at the Red Lion pub in Leytonstone in November 1978 evolved into a successful audition for vocalist Paul Di'Anno. Throughout their career, the band's discography has grown to include a total of thirty-eight albums: fifteen studio albums; ten live albums; four EPs; and seven compilations. They are considered Pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and achieved their success during the early 1980s. After several line-up changes, the band went on to release a series of U.S. and UK platinum and gold albums, including"The Number of the Beast," "Piece of Mind," "Powerslave," and "Somewhere in Time" among others.Since the return of lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith in 1999, the band have undergone a resurgence in popularity, with their latest studio offering, "The Final Frontier," peaking at No. 1 in 28 different countries. Considered one of the most successful heavy metal bands in history, Iron Maiden have reportedly sold over 85 million records worldwide with little radio or television support. The band won the Ivor Novello Award for international achievement in 2002, and were also inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk in Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California during their United States tour in 2005. By 2011, the band had played almost 2000 live shows throughout their career. Dave Murray and Steve Harris are the only members to have performed on all of the band's albums.
