Indeed, I came to love Iron Maiden via means of a typical [broke] teenager. Once I had a revenue stream, I collected almost their entire discography on vinyl and had the pleasure of seeing them live in concert twice, one Dream Theater opened (dream concert). It was very exciting to see more and more pedestrians in Iron Maiden T-Shirts as we drew nearer to concert. I invite less familiar readers to watch their Flight 666 documentary on how they've toured all across the world, including countries where the Catholic Church has previously stepped in and banned them (over a song titled Number of the Beast, which is in fact, about doing battle _against_ the devil). Anyways, their music is a treat, and while Bruce can't belt out the same high notes he used to be able to, the sheer musicianship of the band is incredible; virtuosos the whole lot. Up the irons, earth dogs!
