Up The Irons: 50 Years of Iron Maiden

I saw you with The Darkness at Eddfest, and I absolutely loved your performance! What an epic weekend — you guys were amazing! 🤘🔥

As a life long maiden fan id give the film a solid 7/10 . i understand where steve is coming from and i do think a documentary from their point of view would have probably been more interesting to a long term maiden fan. i myself could think of many more or better highlights from live performances than what they showed and ive seen a lot of the clips they used in previous documentaries.

however there were some new clips and some really cool eddie cgi art sequences that i enjoyed.

Id recommend it 7/10 it was fun to watch and its a great film for "newer" fans to get a sturdy overview of the bands history in a chronological way.

took my mum and dad to see this as they have been maiden fans since 1982 and were the ones who got me into the band at the age of 5 or 6 growing up in small town new zealand &there were several points in the film where i was crying particularly the parts about paul cause i was lucky enough to meet him in christchurch new zealand in 2009 when i was 16

How the hell did I miss that they were touring? I was looking for other concerts to go this year and they somehow didnt pop up.

I do so hope that there is a goodly section of Mr. Dickinson fencing in this documentary.

I first saw Iron Maiden live February 1985 Hollywood Florida with Twisted Sister.

50 years a remarkable achievement especially for a successful band who, the cuckold, msm ignores! Up the Hammers!!

I believe Ive still got my original IM T-Shirt from 1982/83 (its a blur to me now), unless swmbo has thrown it out. Where has all the fcuking time gone😲😲😲😲🧐🧐🧐 Back then we had LPs, great album art, cassettes at a push, happier times.

At 0:41 you see Steve's son George Harris walking onto the red carpet with his wife, he is also the guitarist in The Raven Age who are a great band.

Where's janick Gers???

I suspect they had a lot more control over it than they are letting on, and saying they didn't have control over it is just marketing

Justin, Maiden are the ones who started the hidden symbol on the album covers game. The same symbol is hidden on every cover. Go have a search, you'll be there all night 😂

Well done! First time I saw Maiden was 1982 and I’ve seen every tour, most multiple times, and in other countries, over 100 shows. Except the Blaze years, only 2 shows. I’ll be there for this next tour 🤘

Great to see them getting the recognition again. Shame I don’t like their music but real happy for those Rocking Dino’s 🦖

The sky does not seem too bright. Take off your sunglasses , you two prats.

I've poured 'longingly and lovingly' over many a Kate Bush album cover…😜

More wigs than a wig shop

They going to put this on a Cee Deee ?

Larry Grayson’s niece invented 1471 (just saying)

The darkness is blessed . Counter strike , the C,S… or the darkest Crome samurai the darkness wishes to Handel , (T,D,W,T,H) so just the Crome Samurai!

It is to their credit that Iron Maiden ensure that all their former members are recognised for their contributions. Other bands could learn from this.

The gig they took the footage for beast over Hammersmith and used in the doc was my first ever gig at the ripe old age of 13 Loved Maiden in those days and NOTB , but always regretted not seeing them with D’Ianno. The t shirt was such a big part of the concert going ritual Wish i still had mine, had Eddie planting the union jack on Britain, loved that t shirt ! Incidentally the director Malcolm was a mate and colleague when i was starting out in photography business late 80s , also got to work with Bruce on a promo in the 90s , seemed like a decent polite guy. Seemed odd Steve Harris wasn’t there at the premier, maybe his comments explain his absence Do think Documentaries should be as objective as possible, otherwise not really documentaries, they would just be promos.And you get a 3rd party perspective

Great to see Rufus as well as yourself.

I saw Iron Maiden supporting Samson at The Music Machine in 1979 and then twice in Guildford. For the second gig (Civic Hall) my amazing dad (I was barely 15 and shite at art) had painted the Iron Maiden lettering and the ‘Stones Mouth’ logo they were using at the time on a sheepskin denim cutoff. I met Steve Arris in the bar (different times…) and he said it was the first one he’d seen. They changed to the ‘Eddie’ logo later that year.
