Description
This new book from prolific rock journalist Martin Popoff pays tribute to the Iron Maiden’s studio discography through a series of in-depth, frank, and entertaining conversations about all sixteen of the legendary heavy metal band’s studio albums. Inside, the author gathers together metal journalists, authors, and musicians, who offer insights, opinions, and anecdotes about every release.
Together, the conversations comprise a unique historical overview of the band, covering everything from early albums with original lead singer Paul Di’Anno; the songwriting of founder and bassist Steve Harris; the impeccable talents of drummer Nicko McBrain and guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers; mega tours undertaken in support of the LPs; fights within the band; and much more. Even their iconic mascot Eddie is sure to make an appearance or two!
Popoff also includes loads of sidebars that provide complete track listings, details on album personnel, and information on where and when the albums were recorded. Every page is illustrated with thoughtfully curated performance and offstage photography, as well as rare memorabilia.
Marketing Plan
Key Selling Points: Iron Maiden is still hugely successful throughout the world – arguably as big as they have ever been – with a very loyal fanbase Iron Maiden's 16 studio albums have sold over 90 million units, more than Van Halen, Motley Crue, R.E.M., Neil Young, and Tom Petty—all successful book subjects with various publishers. The Final Frontier, the band's most successful album to date, debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries, including the UK, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, and Spain. The 2008–2009 Somewhere Back in Time tour was seen by over 2 million people worldwide (equaling Bruce Springsteen's top tour ever).
