the origin of Priest started with Al Atkin creating a band. it wasn't Priest and the band name was unknown as far as I know. the lieup was.

Bruno Stapenhill - bass

Al Atkins - vocals

John Perry - guitar

John Partridge then join on drums. shortly after Joh Perry was killed by someone in a car trying to kill themselves. so Earnest Chataway was his replacement. few years later, Al quited the band and found some of his old school mates, Ian Hill (The Bass) John Ellis (Drummer) and Kenneth Downing (K.K.) (who was rejected from joining Al's previous group due to lack of experience). Alan "Skip" Moore would then be the drummer for priest, replacing John Ellis. a year later he was then replace by Chris Campell. What is it with Priest and drummers?

amd then few years later, Campell and Al left the group, Halford joined, and Glenn

Tipton became the second guitarist, duoling with K.K.

so the original lineup started with

Bruno Stapenhill - bass

Al Atkins - vocals

John Perry - guitar

then it was

Bruno Stapenhill - bass

Al Atkins - vocals

John Partridge - drums

Earnest Chataway - guitar

then in formation of priest

Al Aktins - vocals

Ian Hill - bass

K.K. Downing - Guitar

John Ellis - Drums, then Alan Moore, then Bruce Campell on drums, then John Hinch (once Halford and Tipton joined), Alan Moore again, then Simon Phillips, then Les Binks, Then Dave Holland (who would stay with the band for nearly 10 years) then finally Scott Travis (who's still with the group)

What does Iron Maiden's Eddie stand for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eddie doesn't stand for anything! lol

Eddie was created by artist Derek Riggs as part of the artwork for Iron Maiden's first releases with EMI, Running Free and Women in Uniform and subsequently their first self titled album. It proved so popular that Mr Riggs continued to produce artwork involving Eddie for pretty much every iron maiden release since.

His name comes from a joke going round at the time about Eddie the 'ed.

Steve Harris, the band's bass player after watching the movie "The Man in the Iron Mask" was inspired by the torturing device called Iron Maiden which had a connection in the movie. An iron maiden is an iron cabinet with front doors on hinges. The doors and sometimes the back part and walls are covered with spikes. A person would be put in there for torturing purposes. As the doors would close, the person would be pierced. Many times with a fatal ending.

How much does Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden make per show?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It varies enormously depending on the venue, country, size etc. They typically make $500,000 for 10,000 seater arena shows, but for stadium gigs (of over 50,000 people) they can make up to $4 or 5 million. They could make a lot more than this if they jacked up their ticket prices but, unlike other artists, Iron Maiden choose not to exploit their fans.

Is iron maiden a progressive metal band?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They mostly consist of only traditional heavy metal or the new wave of british heavy metal. But their 1988 album Seventh son of a Seventh Son is widely considered a progressive metal album. There are also some prog metal elements in other songs in diffirent albums such as Somewhere in time, The X Factor, Virtual XI, and Dance of Death. So overall, Iron Maiden can be put under the prigressive metal genre.

Does the members of iron maiden take drugs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The band's official biography suggests that, during their first few U.S. tours, there was a fair amount of partying probably involving soft drug usage (e.g. cannabis), but they soon took things more seriously and probably calmed down once they started headlining their own shows in America. Although drummer Nicko McBrain earned the nickname "Mr Excess", the only member we know for sure that took hard substances was Paul Di'Anno (singer from 78-81) who took large amounts of cocaine. The only member who we know has never taken any drugs is Steve Harris (bassist).

EDIT

Not only that, but Bruce Dickinson is also against drug use.
