Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Iron Maiden" by Iron Maiden is the eponymous track from their self-titled debut album released in 1980. The song features galloping bass lines by Steve Harris, known as the "Harris gallop," and showcases Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton's dual guitar harmonies. The track is a staple in the band's live performances and has become an anthem for their fans. Bruce Dickinson's powerful vocals and the band's signature twin guitar attack make this song a classic in the heavy metal genre.
