The Iron Maidens Tribute Band History And Discography
In the 1980s, heavy metal music was all the rage. While there were a number of big hair rock groups, Iron Maiden was considered one of the best. Now, The Iron Maidens, an all female tribute band pays homage to these original rockers.
While the line-up has had several rounds of changes over the years, the current line up exist of a vocalist, a bassist, a drummer and two lead guitarists. Originally founded in 2001, most of these changes occurred between 2001 and 2003. While this is the case, there has been ongoing changes since the inception of the band to present.
While the band started working on an initial album in 2003, it was not released until 2005. At that time, Aja Kim had replaced founding member Jenny Warren on vocals. As the band continued as a woman only group, the title Only All Female Iron Maiden Tribute Band was still a fitting one. Whereas, more changes were made to the line-up following the release though the group still retained its women only status.
In 2007, the group released a second album titled Route 66. While still identifying as an all female group, it is interesting to note that Phil Campbell, guitarist for Motorhead made a special appearance on this album. As a result, sales of this second album were a bit better than the first though still not as good as the group had hoped while in the recording studio. Still, this group of rockers never gave up and continued on playing shows and eventually toured Japan.
In the summer of 2008, the band went through more changes resulting in the current line up. In 2010, the group released a DVD of the Japan tour called Metal Gathering Live in Japan 2010. After which, in 2015 long-time guest guitarist Nikki Stringfield became an official member of the band. As with previous album releases, DVDs were a big hit among fans and especially with those living in Japan. While this is the case, the DVD did not sell as well in other areas.
Most recently, two band members, Rosenberg and Stringfield appeared on Beat Shazam in 2017. During this time, the two albums and DVD remained popular among fans. As such, the band has agreed to once again play live shows beginning in February 2018. While this is the case, the question remains as to whether the group will tour internationally or domestically in the future.
Even with all the changes in talent over the years, the group remains a main-stay in the heavy metal community. While groups such as Blue Floyd or Lez Zeppelin are more rock and roll than metal, all of these tribute groups have the same goal. The goal, to bring back the music of famous bands of the past. At the same time, it would most likely benefit these bands if current line-ups were to remain the same in the future.
The Facebook page related to the hosts a number of photos and video clips. Whereas, there is a great deal of history along with tour dates and discussion forum. For those seeking more music by the group, there are also a number of videos on YouTube and other video sharing websites. Whether browsing through Facebook, watching a video or attending a live show, there is no doubt fans will appreciate these rockers bringing the music of Iron Maiden and other rockers back to life.
