50th Anniversary Documentary

[CA Bryers]

Legend has it so, but the last time they had it printed was on Best of the 'B' Sides... 25-ish years ago but, as @Vaenyr said, it's the perfect title for a documentary of this kind.

Anyway when a band produces something like this, the title is usually something the audience will immediately link to them. Like when they did the Queen biopic and called it 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Not exactly the case with 'burning ambition' and Iron Maiden.

While the title is appropriate for die-hards, I can't say I love it. Not terribly evocative, especially for casual fans who have no idea it was a song. The title and even the Akirant artwork, on first glance on my FB doomscrolling, looked like one of those damn AI "documentaries" that is totally coming. When I saw it was linked to Blabbermouth, I clicked on it and found it was legit.

But yeah, I'll reserve judgment upon seeing the trailer, and who am I kidding? If it's showing near me, I'll go see it.

I'm interested to see this but I fear it'll be more of a self-censored hagiography than a no-holds barred look at the band's history.

Other than band members leaving, the band has never really had that much juicy gossip attached to them. In just intrigued to see what route this goes down. I think it has the potential to be a great film.
