** The band also asked fans attending the first leg of ''Somewhere Back in Time'' to send over any video footage they took during the concerts, as they were hoping to include it in their documentary ''Flight 666''.
** In the ''Give me Ed 'Til I'm Dead'' Tour, Bruce said this once:
{{quote| ''"... if you wanna record this song and you wanna put it on a world wide web - on the internet, so all your friends could listen to it - as long as you buy the album in September - we don't give a [[Precision F -Strike|fuck]] my friends!"''}}
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: The all-female, California-based tribute band The Iron Maidens. Special mention should go to the lead singer, Bruce Chickinson.
* [[A Good Name for A Rock Band]]: The band is named after a torture device, which appeared in the 1938 version of ''[[The Man in The Iron Mask]]'' and caught Steve's eye.

* [[Bishonen]]: [http://img.skitch.com/20081223-mf2mj2t52qs7mw1hay2tw7r219.preview.jpg Oh so very much].

=== Steve Harris - Bass ===
Line 120:
* [[Record Producer]]: After Martin Birch's retirement, he took part of the producing duties since ''The X Factor''.
* [[Step Up to The Microphone]]: Immediately before Maiden's second ever gig, Paul Di'Anno was arrested outside the club they were due to perform in for carrying a concealed switchblade. Ron Smallwood, their prospective manager, ended up ordering Steve to sing on the basis that he was the only one who knew all of the lyrics.
* [[The Ugly GuysGuy's Hot Daughter]]: Steve Harris looks ok, but not spectacular. He is, however, the father of [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5veTilZgC-4/SDpg6Bbs0II/AAAAAAAAAQ8/c_p4rAnGLEk/s400/Lauren+Harris2.jpg Lauren Harris] (her sisters [http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4816167357_36c6a0e7ab.jpg Faye] and [http://webarchive.org/imagens-n/temp01/kerryharris_01.jpg Kerry] also qualify).

=== Michael Henry "Nicko" [[Awesome McCoolname|McBrain]] - Drums ===
Line 153:
 
* [[The Lancer]]: Before Dickinson's arrival.
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: He shares his "Paul" name with ''[[The Pete Best|Paul]]'' [[The Pete Best|Day]], and ''Paul'' Bruce Dickinson, both former and current vocalists of Maiden.
* [[Start My Own]]: He went on many solo projects as well. (Battlezone, Killers and the band Di'Anno) Sadly subverted in that the majority of Di'Anno's solo career is spent playing old Maiden songs, either live, re-recording them for "best of" compilations, or appearing on Iron Maiden tribute albums.
