Zakk Wylde, Jon Mikl Thor (literally a bodybuilder and won both Mr. Canada and Mr. USA), John Petrucci. Brian Johnson had quite the shoulders and biceps around 1990, if he counts as a metal singer. And, well, Chris Jericho technically has a band.

Last Before the Storm from Wacken 2003 is one of my favourite live performances in the whole power metal genre. I loved him on Land of the Free, Somewhere Out In Space, Blast From The Past, the classic Gamma Ray material as well as on Avantasia (the way he delivers his verse on The Seven...

Kai has been an on-and-off singer on stage since... 1986 actually.

Saw the upload earlier today, I hope I can find the time to watch/listen to it in the next days. It's a 'new' bootleg it seems!

No, the show was only partially recorded by the local National TV, which also released it on DVD with backstage interviews. They actually failed to properly set up the audio and aired Man on the Edge from the album tapes. They fixed the problem by the end of the song and could stream the actual...

I would also add that one of the best known bootlegs of the Blaze era, The Lost Factor — Live in Bulgaria, has a sick name which would have not looked out of place in the official discography. All you have to do is to promote it as a "rediscovered"/from-the-archives recording (much like Beast...

Run For Your Lives Tour, but Iron Maiden use the Dream Theater/Metallica policy of playing different setlists when they do multiple shows in the same place. So, Setlist 1 would be what we got, Setlist 2 something like: "The Ides of March" + "Be Quick Or Be Dead" "Purgatory" "22 Acacia Avenue"...

I stand corrected: it definitely was Purgatory—or better said, its original version "Floating".

Is this screecher Wilcock? No wonder Dave roughed him up.

No I meant, the actual melody played by the bass. It's different from what Steve plays on Burning Ambition. ??? This is the same video you linked before.

Sounds more like a very raw version of the post-solo melody of Burning Ambition — if it is Iron Maiden: the bass doesn't match.

Avril Lavigne last summer with a SBIT t-shirt: (Tho maybe not the strangest of places since she's been on record multiple times praising Iron Maiden among others).

And here's Voldemort lip-syncing to The Number of the Beast:

Most songs featured in videogames by a metal artist: 51 songs in 15 different games, including their own Ed Hunter and Legacy of the Beast, Guitar Hero and Rock Band (but not Brütal Legend), Tony Hawk 4 (where Eddie also appeared as a secret skater) and GTA: Vice City (but not including DLCs, so...

Just randomly found this. One of Wailing Banshee's guitarists uses the Dave Murray Signature Strat 1st Series. They say in the comments that Iron Maiden are a big influence for them—although the main riff sounds more Running Wild-ish to me. The camera movements are reminding of the official...
