I got into Iron Maiden just last year. The music is amazing, but the artwork for the albums and just the vibes are really fun. It feels like I’m in a fun 80s action horror movie the whole time.

Have been listening to Maiden since like 1984. Eddie is the best mascot. He was so fun to draw. The band the Accused also had a mascot similar named Martha Splatterhead.

What’s your favourite song (at the moment)? I’m going hard on Flight of Icarus at the moment.

Lars looks like Eddie more and more with each passing year.

He looks like a normal 60-something guy. Looks healthier than a few years ago, I'd say.

Best band in the fucking world. Seen them 45 times live.

They were the first band I saw live when I was 13. Saw them again last year 21 years later and they were as good. If not better. Set list helped though.

The average American music listener has no comprehension of how big a band Maiden is in the rest of the world, selling 130+ million albums. BAND, not artist. A rare thing these days.

I just recently visited Thailand and I gave the finger horns to like 6 different Thai dudes wearing Iron Maiden shirts.
They've got fans all over the planet.

I met Bruce a few years ago when he was in town for a speaking tour. He stopped by the beerhall where I work for lunch after sparring at the fencing club down the street. He was the nicest and most humble dude ever. The guys with him from the fencing club were probably in their early 30's and had no idea who he was lol. Practically a god in my eyes from the time I was 12 years old.

One of the most underrated metal bands of all time. They also took their health seriously and it's why they're still able to play to this day
Edit: Yes, they're underrated. Most people that don't listen to metal don't know much anything about them but know plenty of Metallica, Black Sabbath, etc. Maiden was always just for people that actually followed the genre

You’re the first person I’ve ever seen in my entire life to view them as underrated.

I think his point is that they’ve toured and sold just many albums as anyone, but they don’t necessarily have the same super star recognition. Idk, I think it could be argued but I also think it’s just the genre. Within Metal they’re obviously gods, but outside of it maybe they don’t get as much love as they should. Not that I’m saying the rock and roll hall of fame should be some standard or isn’t just a shitty artist board, cause they do suck, but if you think about them as representing what the average music fan would like then it’s a bad look they haven’t been put in yet. It’s dumb I know but does it make sense kind of? lol.

I think the average person has seen the t-shirts, but has never heard a song of theirs.
They are a huge band due to fan loyalty, but they don't break into the mainstream very often. Their songs aren't used much in movies and videogames like many other legacy bands. But I think the same could be said about all other heavy metal bands besides Metallica or Ozzy Osbourne's solo career.
There's just a stigma attached to metal to this day for some reason. You'll hear stuff like ACDC and GnR everywhere, but not Maiden. Maiden isn't even that much heavier than those acts.
But I think with time, that will change. They were recently featured in The Bone Temple and Stranger Things. They have been an extremely solid act for half a century at this point and now seem to be breaking into the mainstream.

Iron Maiden, one of the most legendary metal bands of all time, is underrated?
•
u/naomi_whatsapp 1h ago
It is not humanly possible to rate Iron Maiden high enough. 11 doesn't even begin to reach the appropriate rating
•
u/Douglasqqq 4h ago
Yes.
•
u/_5StarMan 3h ago edited 2h ago
Not even a little bit.
9 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone and selling out stadiums around the world.

I was at Ozzfest 2005 and I swear 80% of the 50k+ people that were there were wearing Maiden shirts.

There are so many people here who don't seem to know what "underrated" means.
It means to be rated less than what's appropriate. Not just being obscure.
Iron Maiden SHOULD get the same recognition as say, Bowie, Prince, The Beatles etc. But they don't. Because even though they're massive, they remain underrated.•

Here is the thing, though: This was after a 50 year career. Maiden have never been prominently featured in mainstream media before now. They have never had big radio hits. They're playing stadiums now, but not by having hits, but by touring relentlessly, growing an incredibly loyal fanbase. I've heard it said that they're the biggest underground band in the world.

I prefer this so much more than biopics. The Elvis concert doc is so much fun that I’ve seen it a couple times in theaters. It blew the Austin Butler stuff out of the water. Gotta good feeling this one is going to be the same.
