Correct! Your turn.

Here are the clues explained:

All right, here's the next (I promise you this one is the Iron Maiden we all know and love):
I guess that was an Easter Egg-clue as well.

Clue 1: This song’s title is used by another band. The name of this band is reminiscent of a venue where Maiden have played and a person associated with Maiden. Barclay James Harvest. "The Iron Maiden" is a song from their s/t 1970 album. Barclays Center, Brooklyn. Bill Barclay, guitar tech 1981-88.
Clue 2: If a person from Maiden's past had had his way, this song would have been named differently. Vic Scott. He was a drummer who had played with Dennis Wilcock in various bands, and played/jammed with Steve late in 1975 as he was setting up Iron Maiden. There was a list of possible band names around, from which Scott preferred "Ash Mountain", while Steve and others obviously preferred "Iron Maiden". (Source: Neil Daniels' "Killers" book). Thus, the song would also have another name, as it was written as a signature song for the new band.
Clue 3: A part of the song is inspired by another band. The name of this band is partly similar to the alternative name of the track referred to in clue 2. Wishbone Ash. Maiden's first guitarists Dave Sullivan and Terry Rance had a distinct Wishbone Ash dual-guitar interplay style, which is evident in this song's main riff. Dave remembers working out those guitar parts with Terry and Steve at Steve's house.
Clue 4: The name of this song also serves as an apparent link to two other Maiden songs. "Iron Maiden" is also the nickname of Maggie Thatcher, of "Sanctuary" and "Women In Uniform" cover fame.
Clue 5: The song has been covered by a band that has also opened for Maiden. Trivium.
Clue 6: The song appears on a single. It has also been released on a live album. Self-explanatory (even if the single release is rather obscure).
Clue 7: The name of the song is also the name of a film, a band and a comic book character. Self-explanatory.
