Hey guys, a crazy thought came into my mind recently. Now I know that there are some bands that have had their songs used for musicals before (ABBA, Queen, etc.) But then I was thinking to myself, he Iron Maiden has a lot of songs you can connect to create a story, what if they were put together in the form of a musical? So then I asked myself; if there was indeed an Iron Maiden musical... what would it be about? What would the story be and what songs would be used to tie everything together? I know it's kind of a ridiculous idea, but I've actually given it some thought.
Using a lot of the more classic songs, I've kind of come together with a story about a young man, Eddie, who travels to the city in search of another life. There, however, he meets a girl named Charlotte (the Harlot) and becomes very in love with her. She likes him as well, but she is involved with a very bad crowd. Eddie tries to get her out of her job at 22 Acacia Avenue, but her boss decides that the young man must prove himself and due some dirty work before he lets Charlotte out of her contract, even if it means killing someone else. But Eddie can't do it. Seeing this as an opportunity, the boss frames Eddie for a murder and everyone is out to get him, claiming that he is also a satanist and a devil worshipper (since he enjoys heavy metal). He tries to claim Sanctuary, but soon Eddie is caught, found guilty, and even sentenced to death. But he can't die yet, he has to save Charlotte...
That's all I have soo far. What do you guys think? Please give some feedback. The songs I was thinking of would be.
- Another Life
- Charlotte the Harlot
- Revelations
- 22 Acacia Avenue
- Can I Play With Madness
- The Number of the Beast
- Afraid to Shoot Strangers
- Wasting Love
- From Here to Eternity
- Sanctuary
- Hallowed Be Thy Name
- Heaven Can Wait
- Running Free
