c'est parce que je pense que j'en fait beaucoup (trop) voir à une certaines personne qui vient squater mon petit blog, et qui n'aiment en général pas ce que j'aime comme musique, que je met ce groupe qui est très important pour elle ... ce sera une re-re-re-re-re-re-re-présentation ici, mais je tiens quand même à préciser que ce n'est pas un groupe que j'aime plus que ça, je les ecoute parce que c'est de la culture générale et parce qu'ils font de la bonne musique, mais sincèrement, je ne les adule pas personnellement ... je veux parler des potes à Eddie le zombi :
IRON MAIDEN
le groupe mythique venu d'anglettere et qui répand son son devastateur sur tout un monde depuis plus de 30 ans déjà, les grands inovateurs d'un genre, le heavy metal (et wi, c'est eux les détenteur du titre) grand rival/ami de metallica, jamais un n'a su prendre l'ascendant sur l'autre, car ils sont les 2 titans maitres dans leur genre respectif, et ce combat dure dure dure, et durera encore longtemps ...
ce sont, accessoirement, les mentors de Trivium, mais perso, moi j'irais voir Trivium avec maiden en 2e ;)
~~~~~~~~
Le groupe de légende Iron Maiden est fondé en 1976 à Londres en Angleterre par le bassiste Steve Harris, rejoint rapidement par le guitariste Tony Parsons, le batteur Doug Sampson et le chanteur Paul Di'Anno.
Tony Parsons est remplacé par Dennis Stratton et le groupe enregistre son premier album éponyme en 1980, le disque est un succès en Angleterre., et cela motive le groupe pour continuer dans leur voie musicale si originale à l'époque. Iron Maiden signe l'année suivante Killers avec le guitariste Adrian Smith à la place de Dennis Stratton.
Habitué aux changements, le groupe connaît alors une évolution côté chanteur. C'est ainsi que LE Bruce Dickinson rentre dans la formation et prend la place de Paul Di'Anno qui souffre d'alcoolisme, et la nouvelle formation enregistre alors l'album l'énorme Number of The Beast en 1982, qui sera un plus grand succès encore, et les joyeux lurons se lancent alors dans une tournée internationale avant de sortir en 1983 Powerslave (le plus grand album de heavy metal jamais enregistré) et en 1985 Live After Death.
En 1988, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son voit le jour. Cet album va connaître un formidable succès pareil à Powerslave, et ce même succès se traduira entre autre par le rapide encensement des critiques "ce groupe devient commercial".
Après une année de tournée/critiques épuisantes, Iron Maiden fait un break, mais la bande ne sera toujours pas tranquille, Adrian Smith quitte le groupe et est remplacé par Janick Gers qui joue sur No Prayer for The Dying sorti en 1990. Bruce Dickinson enregistre avec le groupe Fear of The Dark puis décide de s'en aller lui aussi. Deux albums live sortent en 1993, le groupe avouera lui-même que c'était pour ne pas laisser les fans dans l'incertitude, car ils comptaient bien continuer leur vie de groupe "Actif". Cela se vérifiera quand Blayze Bayley arrive au chant et Iron Maiden signe en 1995 The X Factor.
Suit en 1998 Virtual XI qui marque la fin de la courte collaboration avec Blayze Bayley, car une bonne nouvelle n'arrive jamais seule, en 1999, Adrian Smith et Bruce Dickinson réintègre le groupe pour une tournée qui ravira tout les fans !
Brave New World sort en l'an 2000, et trois année passent avant que notre vièrge d'acier ne soit de retour avec Dance of Death (2003), un opus assez mitigé du côtés des puristes, mais qui attira une foule de nouveau admirateurs, ce qui ne fera toujours pas l'affaire des fans de la première heure.
Tandis que 2006 est, en revanche, l'année de la "réincarnation" pour Iron Maiden. La formation signe A Matter Of Life And Death, un superbe album qui traduit à merveille la constante recherche d'innovation musicale qui anime le groupe depuis toutes ces années s'en suivra une longue tournée de plus de 6 mois autour du globe, avec comme invité dans les 1e partie, les groupes qu'Iron Maiden avait remarqué et pris sous son aile :
Bullet For My Valentine, et Trivium

Iron Maiden / Remember Tomorrow
Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire.
Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy,
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy.
Out in the madness, the all seeing eye,
Flickers above us, to light up the sky.
Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire

Iron Maiden / Hallowed Be Thy Name
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there is never an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me die ?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hallowed be thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hallowed be thy name

Iron Maiden / 2 Minutes To Midnight
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
To Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Some blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.
2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that treaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbeliverers."
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.
2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that treaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.
2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that treaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Iron Maiden / Fear Of The Dark
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark.
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light ?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you.
Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there ?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there
Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense,and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind.
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there.
When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

Iron Maiden / Dance Of Death
Let me tell you a story to chill the bones, 'bout a thing that I saw.
One night wandering in the everglades. I had one drink but no more.
I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight. Gazing up at the stars.
Not aware of a presence so near to me. Watching my every move.
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees. As something rushed me from the trees.
Took me to an unholy place. And that is where I fell from grace.
Then they summoned me over to join in with them. To the dance of the dead
In to the circle of fire I followed them. In to the middle I was led.
As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear, but still I wanted to go.
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me. As I walked onto the coals.
And I felt I was in a trance. And my spirit was lifted from me
And if only someone had the chance. To witness what happened to me.
And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them. All had death in their eyes.
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them. They had ascended from hell.
As I danced with the dead my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me.
Below my undead body, just danced the circle of death.
Until the time came to reunite us both. My spirit came back down to me
I didn't know if I was alive or dead. As the others all joined in with me.
By luck then a skirmish started. And took the attention away from me
When they took their gaze from me. Was the moment that I fled.
I ran like hell faster than the wind. But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare. Was to look just straight ahead.
When you know that your time has come around. You know you'll be prepared for it.
Say your last goodbyes to everyone. Drink and say a prayer for it.
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
To this day I guess I'll never know. Just why they let me go.
But I'll never go dancing no more. 'Til I dance with the dead.
