* [[Banned in China|Banned In Chile]]: In [[The Eighties]], the band was banned from playing in Chile due to the Catholic Church's concerns over their "[[Completely Missing the Point|satanic]]" lyrics. The ban was eventually lifted and they were able to perform in Chile in the 2000s. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]], if the Flight 666 DVD is anything to go by.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: Paul Di'Anno and Steve Harris have bitter memories about the Di'Anno years. Paul would call the band "The [[Spice Girls]]", on his shows, before doing a Maiden song from that era, while Steve despises the [[Self -Titled Album]] for its production and sound, as he said on ''The Early Days''.
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
** "H" for Adrian Smith. Say with an English accent to understand why.
** Song-wise, aside of the acronyms, "11:58" or "23:58" for "2 Minutes To Midnight" and "666" for "The Number of the Beast".
*** And also "Paschendale" is known by some as "Paschen-[[Precision F -Strike|fucking]]-dale"
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]:
** Bruce Dickinson. By day, Iron Maiden vocalist and more metal than a block of steel. By night, part time airline pilot and occasional fencer.
** Steve Harris. Massively muscled, tattooed all over, usally clad in standard Metal Uniform, a bit of a bookworm in his spare time (look at all the Maiden songs [[Filk Song|inspired by English Literature]]).
