00:04What an amazing thing this is.
00:09If you're not a maiden fan, you're part of one family, my friends.
00:18Gods of metal.
00:21We were playing locally around East London.
00:23It started to snowball for us.
00:27We were picking up fans the first gigs we did.
00:29Whenever I see a maiden shirt out in the wild, I'll throw you the horns.
00:38Any long career is going to have ups and downs, and you just kind of ride with it.
00:43Steve had this vision.
00:45If you interfered with that vision, you were not going to stay with this band.
00:49Gordiano was the first singer of the band.
00:51But he wasn't really looking after himself.
00:55Hello there. That's right, it's Bruce.
00:58Bruce was just a piece of the puzzle.
01:01It's like you're watching Broadway.
01:04Think of a more recognisable mascot than Eddie and Iron Maiden.
01:10It just kept getting bigger.
01:13We didn't realise just what I told you it would take.
01:17A bruising few years.
01:20No one!
01:22We're going to go outside and have a fist fight.
01:24I thought of packing it in, completely.
01:27Bruce in his box.
01:29The press were saying, Maiden are dead.
01:34We have grunge.
01:35You see, I've got throat cancer.
01:37It's my brother.
01:38He could die.
01:41We were just up against him.
01:43And I like that.
01:45That's a challenge.
01:47It was always about the fans.
01:51Just with your fruit, Frick and Fiend.
01:53Iron Maiden!
01:54Iron Maiden!
01:56This group created its own universe.
02:00They belong together.
02:03Iron Maiden hit rock bottom in order to become the greatest band in the world.
02:08A second time.
02:09Six, six, six.
02:11The number of the beast.
02:14Hell and fire.
02:16We're supposed to be free.
02:21We are all blood brothers!
