00:04What an amazing thing this is.
00:09If you're not a Maiden fan, you're part of one family my friends.
00:17Gods of Metal.
00:21We were playing locally around East London.
00:23It started to snowball for us.
00:27We were picking up fans for the first gigs we did.
00:29Whenever I see a Maiden shirt out in the wild,
00:32throw you the horns.
00:38Any long career is going to have ups and downs,
00:40and you just kind of ride with it.
00:43Steve had this vision.
00:45If you interfered with that vision,
00:47you were not going to stay with this band.
00:49Paul Deanna was the first singer of the band.
00:51But he wasn't really looking after himself.
00:55Hello there.
00:56That's right, this is 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
01:08than Eddie and Iron Maiden.
01:10It just kept getting bigger.
01:13We didn't realise just what a toll 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.
01:30The press were saying Maiden are dead.
01:33We have grunge.
01:35And he said,
01:36I'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.
01:44That's a challenge.
01:47It was always about the fans.
01:51Just with your fruit, fruit and fruit.
01:53I don't hate it! I don't hate it!
01:56This group created its own universe.
02:00We belong together.
02:03Iron Maiden hit rock bottom
02:06in order to become the greatest band in the world.
02:08A second time.
02:20We are all blood brothers!
