Kunzima ukucabanga ngebhendi yensimbi yaseBrithani edume kakhulu kune-Iron Maiden. Sekungamashumi eminyaka iqembu le-Iron Maiden lihlala endaweni ephakeme yodumo, likhipha i-albhamu ethandwayo ngemva kwenye.
Futhi ngisho namanje, lapho imboni yomculo inikeza abalaleli ngobuningi bezinhlobo zezinhlobo, amarekhodi e-Iron Maiden aqhubeka ethandwa kakhulu emhlabeni wonke.
ekuqaleni
Umlando waleli qembu usukela ngo-1975, lapho umculi osemncane uSteve Harris efuna ukusungula iqembu. Ngenkathi efunda ekolishi, uSteve ukwazile ukufunda kahle isiginci se-bass esidlala ngezindlela eziningi zasendaweni ngesikhathi esisodwa.
Kodwa ukuze ibone imibono yayo yokudala, le nsizwa yayidinga iqembu. Kwazalwa kanjalo iqembu le-heavy metal Iron Maiden, elalihlanganisa nomzwilili uPaul Day, umshayi wezigubhu uRon Matthews, kanye nabashayi besigingci uTerry Rance noDave Sullivan.
Kwakukulolu hlu lapho iqembu le-Iron Maiden laqala khona ukwenza amakhonsathi. Umculo waleli qembu ubugqame ngokuba nolaka nesivinini, ngenxa yalokho abaculi bagqama phakathi kwamakhulu amabhendi asemasha e-rock e-UK.
Olunye uphawu lwe-Iron Maiden ukusebenzisa kwabo umshini obonakalayo, oguqula umbukiso ube ukuheha okubonakalayo.
Ama-albhamu okuqala eqembu le-Iron Maiden
Ukwakhiwa kwangempela kweqembu akuzange kuhlale isikhathi eside. Ngemva kokulahlekelwa ngabasebenzi bokuqala, uSteve waphoqeleka ukuthi "avale izimbobo ohambeni."
Esikhundleni sikaPaul Day, owashiya iqembu, kwamenywa isixhwanguxhwangu sendawo, uPaul Di'Anno. Naphezu kwemvelo yakhe yokuhlubuka nezinkinga zomthetho, u-Di'Anno wayenamakhono ayingqayizivele ephimbo. Ngenxa yabo, waba umculi wokuqala odumile weqembu le-Iron Maiden.
Abanye abangenele lolu hlelo bekukhona umshayi wesigingci uDave Murray, uDennis Stratton noClive Barr. Impumelelo yokuqala ingabhekwa ukubambisana Rod Smallwood, owaba imenenja band. Kwakuyilo muntu owaba nesandla ekwandeni kokuthandwa kwe-Iron Maiden, "ukukhuthaza" amarekhodi okuqala.
Impumelelo yangempela kwaba ukukhululwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala esihloko sithi, eyakhululwa ngo-April 1980. Irekhodi lithathe indawo yesi-4 kumashadi aseBrithani, lishintsha abaculi bensimbi enzima baba izinkanyezi. Umculo wabo wawuthonywe iSabatha Elimnyama.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umculo we-Iron Maiden wawushesha ukwedlula owabameleli be-classic heavy metal yangaleyo minyaka. Izakhi ze-punk rock ezisetshenziswe ku-albhamu yokuqala ziholele ekuveleni kokuqondisa "kwegagasi elisha le-British heavy metal". Lesi siqephu somculo sibe negalelo elikhulu emculweni "osindayo" womhlaba wonke.
Ngemuva kwe-albhamu yokuqala ephumelele, leli qembu likhiphe i-albhamu esezingeni eliphansi ethi Killers, eqinise igama leqembu njengezihlabani ezintsha zalolu hlobo. Kodwa izinkinga zokuqala nge-vocalist uPaul Di'Anno zalandela ngokushesha.
Lo mculi wayephuza kakhulu futhi ehlushwa yizidakamizwa, okwathinta izinga lokudlalwa bukhoma. USteve Harris waxosha uPaul, ethola indawo efanelekile kumuntu wobuciko uBruce Dickenson. Akekho owayengacabanga ukuthi kwakuwukufika kukaBruce okwakuzoletha iqembu ezingeni lamazwe ngamazwe.
Ukuqala kwe-Bruce Dickinson Era
Kanye nomculi omusha uBruce Dickinson, ibhendi yaqopha i-albhamu yabo yesithathu yobude obugcwele. Ukukhishwa kweThe Number of the Beast kwenzeka engxenyeni yokuqala ka-1982.
Manje lokhu kukhishwa kuyisidala, kufakwe enanini elibalulekile lohlu oluhlukile. Izingoma ezithi Inombolo Yesilo, Gijima Uye Emagqumeni nethi Lingcwele Igama Lakho zisalokhu zibonakala kakhulu emsebenzini weqembu kuze kube namuhla.
I-albhamu ethi Inombolo Yesilwane yaba yimpumelelo hhayi kuphela ekhaya, kodwa futhi kude nemingcele yayo. Ukukhululwa kungene kwabangu-10 abahamba phambili e-Canada, e-United States nase-Australia, ngenxa yalokho isisekelo "sabalandeli" beqembu sanda izikhathi eziningi.
Kodwa kwakunolunye uhlangothi lwempumelelo. Ikakhulukazi, leli qembu liye lasolwa ngobuSathane. Kodwa akuzange kuholele kunoma yini engathi sína.
Eminyakeni eyalandela, ibhendi yakhipha ama-albhamu amaningana abuye abe awakudala. Amarekhodi Piece of Mind and Powerslave amukelwe ngemfudumalo abagxeki. AbaseBrithani bathole isikhundla sebhendi yensimbi enzima engunombolo 1 emhlabeni.
Futhi ngisho nokuhlolwa endaweni ethile ngesikhathi kanye neNdodana yesiKhombisa yeNdodana yesiKhombisa akuzange kuthinte ukuhlonishwa kweqembu le-Iron Maiden. Kodwa ngasekupheleni kwawo-1980, leli qembu laqala ukubhekana nobunzima balo bokuqala.
Ukushintsha kwe-vocalist kanye nezinkinga zokudala zeqembu
Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyishumi, amabhande amaningi ensimbi ayesenkingeni ejulile. Uhlobo lwensimbi enzima yakudala kanye ne-hard rock kancane kancane yaphelelwa yisikhathi, yadedelwa. Amalungu eqembu le-Iron Maiden nawo awazange ayibalekele le nkinga.
Ngokusho kwalaba baculi, baphelelwe wumdlandla abebenawo phambilini. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukuqopha i-albhamu entsha sekuwumkhuba. U-Adrian Smith ushiye iqembu wathathwa nguJanick Gers. Kwakuwushintsho lokuqala lohlu eminyakeni engu-7. Iqembu lalingasathandwa kangako.
Icwecwe elithi Awukho Umkhuleko Wokufa kwaba buthaka kakhulu emsebenzini weqembu, nokwenze isimo saba sibi kakhulu. Inkinga yokudala yaholela ekuhambeni kukaBruce Dickinson, owathatha umsebenzi oyedwa. Ngakho kwaphela isikhathi "yegolide" emsebenzini weqembu le-Iron Maiden.
UBruce Dickinson wathathelwa indawo uBlaze Bailey, okhethwe nguSteve kumakhulu ezinketho. Isitayela sika-Bailey sokucula sasihluke kakhulu kwesikaDickinson. Lokhu kwahlukanisa “abalandeli” beqembu amakamu amabili. Ama-albhamu aqoshwe ngokubamba iqhaza kukaBlaze Bailey asabhekwa njengengxabano enkulu emsebenzini ka-Iron Maiden.
Ukubuya kuka-Dickinson
Ngo-1999, ibhendi yabona iphutha layo, futhi ngenxa yalokho, uBlaze Bayley wachithwa ngokushesha. USteve Harris wayengenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokuncenga uBruce Dickinson ukuthi abuyele eqenjini.
Lokhu kuholele ekuhlanganisweni kabusha kohlu lwakudala, olubuye ne-albhamu ye-Brave New World. I-disc yahlukaniswa ngomsindo omnandi kakhulu futhi yamukelwa ngokufudumele ngabagxeki. Ngakho ukubuya kukaBruce Dickinson kungabizwa ngokuphephile ngokuthi kulungisiwe.
Iron Maiden manje
I-Iron Maiden iyaqhubeka nomsebenzi wayo wokudala osebenzayo, owenza emhlabeni wonke. Selokhu abuya uDickinson, sekuqoshwe amanye amarekhodi amane, athole impumelelo enkulu nababukeli.
Ngemuva kweminyaka engama-35, u-Iron Maiden uyaqhubeka nokukhipha okusha.
