NFT: Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast is 37 today

Great workout music!

Wish I would have

The story of them calling up McGoohan to get permission makes it even more legendary.

You better scratch me from your black book...

in Brooklyn and Philly this summer. I need to go to one of those.

I think this would be the 10th time for me.

I was about 13 at the time and thought it was incredible. 1982 was a Golden Year for Heavy Metal.

Geezus... 37 YO. I always liked them with D'Anna but this is obviously the record that put them on the map. Not a bad song on there. If I had to pick a fave... maybe 22 Acacia Ave? Hard to say every song was good. I bet it would be fun to see them again. I saw them with Priest like 157 times in the late 80s early 90s lol

.

I know a place where we can go....

Meet a lady that I know

Yup, I think it was on the Priest Point of Entry Tour when they opened for them at what was then the Byrne Arena

They’re touring this summer. Mostly a greatest hits tour. Definitely see them if you can!

Ha! Point of entry another great record! I still remember so vividly blasting that and IM Killers in my walkman over and over before my wrestling matches at the George Fuge tournament at Suffern HS... lol. Ah the Brendan Byrne arena... I saw many a concert there lol.

Not sure how many times I've seen them since the 1st time in '85 but it has to be over 20 at this point.

I have so many good memories from the Byrne Arena. I remember seeing Metallica open for Ozzy there in 1986 when people began tearing up the seats and throwing the seat cushions. I remember seeing Maiden there with Waysted in 1987-88 on the Somewhere in Time tour when a bunch of cars in the parking lot were over turned and lit on fire.

Not that I am endorsing the destruction of private property

Going to the Barclays show this summer.

Favorites but I like Piece of Mind better lol .Maybe its because it’s the first maiden album I bought in 1983 ,I got Beast a few weeks later than I got into the Paul Di'Anno stuff summer of 84 before Power slave dropped which will be 35 in September .

Beast Over Hammersmith

One of the first few shows with Bruce.
Beast Over Hammersmith - ( New Window )

Me too. Piece of Mind is musically beyond Beast.

I swear they get better each time, Bruce’s voice included.
