Iron Maiden is a British heavy metal band formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris. Known for their energetic live performances and distinctive sound, Iron Maiden combines complex guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and thematic lyrics often inspired by literature, history, and mythology. Their iconic mascot, Eddie, features prominently in their artwork and stage shows.
The band gained prominence with albums like “The Number of the Beast” (1982), “Powerslave” (1984), and “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” (1988). Their influence extends across the metal genre, and they are celebrated for classics such as “Hallowed Be Thy Name,” “Fear of the Dark,” and “Run to the Hills.” Iron Maiden remains a significant and enduring force in rock music.
“Aces High” is a song by Iron Maiden, released in 1984 as the lead single from their album “Powerslave.” The track is a fast-paced, high-energy anthem that reflects on the experiences of a fighter pilot during World War II. It features galloping guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and a driving rhythm, characteristic of Iron Maiden’s sound. The lyrics capture the intensity and drama of aerial combat, and the song’s powerful instrumentation and memorable chorus have made it a favorite among fans. “Aces High” is celebrated for its dynamic musicality and its role in solidifying Iron Maiden’s status as a leading heavy metal band.
“Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is an epic song by Iron Maiden, featured on their 1984 album *Powerslave*. It is a musical adaptation of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem of the same name. Spanning over 13 minutes, the song is one of Iron Maiden’s longest tracks and showcases their progressive heavy metal style.
The song narrates the story of a mariner who experiences a series of supernatural events at sea, including encounters with ghostly figures and a cursed voyage. With its complex structure, intricate guitar work, and dramatic storytelling, “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is a standout track in Iron Maiden’s discography and a testament to their theatrical and ambitious approach to songwriting.
Two of the world’s most popular rock bands are now related by marriage. Faye Harris, the daughter of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris, has married Tyrone Wood, son of Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood.
With their famous fathers both in attendance, the young couple exchanged their vows on Friday in Marylebone, London. You can see photos from the wedding below.
Tyrone Wood is an art gallery owner, while Faye is the co-founder of a perfume company named Eauso Vert. According to Hello!, the two went public with their romance in 2022 after meeting on a dating app, and were engaged in December 2023.

Luckily, both of the couple’s parents were in between tours and able to attend the ceremony. Last week, Wood and his Rolling Stones bandmates wrapped up their highly successful North American Hackney Diamonds summer tour with a 20-song set in Ridgedale, Missouri. The band has yet to announce their future plans.
After nearly a year off the road, Harris and Iron Maiden will launch The Future Past World Tour 2024 in Perth, Australia on Sept. 1. The tour hits the United States on Oct. 4 in San Diego and is currently scheduled through Dec. 7 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
