Ok, from what ive known and always belived, Iron Maiden got together in 1973, and Maiden Maiden came out in 74'? Alot of thing, "music Choise"  and Wikki to be 2 majors, say Iron Maiden Came out in 75'?!? Whay does my Iron Maidend, Iron Maiden "vinyl record' say 74' and I was always lead to belive that Maiden was started in 73'. This has me just beyound confused atm, and I would love to know why the dates change. true only a couple years, but when youve been a Maiden fan for over 25 years, I want to know :)

Ty much in advance.
 
Oh you wanted to know when the debut was released? I don't know if it is the fact that it is 2AM or your post was poorly written, because i just can't understand it.
 
To me, it seemed like he was confused about both when the band was formed, and when the debut album was released.

Anyway, the Wikipedia article on the band sums it up quite neatly. It's not so rich in details, but the main events are there.
 
So wait....
Fine, I know what im thinking, and maybe its not comming accross correct. The Wikki I see says 75' was when Maiden was "born" i have  vinyl record that has its release date as 74, and have read that the origanial Maiden got together in 73. So yes, Im all around confused. how did a band get together, in 75(by wikki) that I have a  vinyl with a release date of 74 on it. now im even more confused... and now its almost 2am in my area, but I didnt think this would be this hard to answer, seems im wrong all over the place. no a year or 3 is not a big deal, I would like to know the truth. What year was Iron Maiden Born?

" Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from Leyton in east London, formed in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris." from Wiki.

so a lil help plz :)

You have always known and believed the wrong things. The Wikipedia article is correct. Here, Iron Maiden's official site telling you that their debut album was released in 1980: http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=22&p2_articleid=303

<--- is when that was published. yes, I have that vynyl. in good shap. so thats when it made it to a shelf. Thats not what im asking. Im asking when was True Maiden birth. and so the 75 date goes right with that 80' albume ...
 
Iron Maiden didn't release anything in 1974. Period. They started in 1975. Your Vinyl is either fake, or by one of the other Iron Maidens.
 
Edited my post a bit, appoligize for that. wasent sposed to hit enter yet, totally my bad. I pulled my vynyl and yes thats a 80 mark on it. which just confuses me that much more... :( sigh
wish i could find where and what I got a 73' date from. now im a fool. so its 75? huh.

Agian sorry wingman. was off and no reason when what I thought and what is are 2 different things to insult from my unedited was uncalled for :(.

So yes, i just went back thew my records, and no, nothing before 80, Maiden Japan mini lp 81, even the Maiden ""4 Tracks Inc. " 2 Live Tracks""yes i do have that on vynyl is at 80'. I could of sworn I had a caset back in the day, and maybe that was a fake and I got bad info...

so my neg rep is for a reason, no worries Wing, and ty.
 
No worries mate.

Now that you have got your facts straight, the only thing that remains is that you take the time to spell check your posts  :P

That's OK. This post was so much easier to read. :)
 
Either the pressing on your vinyl saying '74 was a mistake, or you got the wrong band...

Maiden was formed in '75.

That's all that I can say for now, mate.
 
No worries, I think I have it now. if i remember right, and probly not, My first bought caset was Powerslave(I found it in 86ish). Fell In love with and never gone elsewhere. And this was before Internet was alive, lol. I wish i could remember where or why I had the dates so early. I had belived, untill this morn,for me, that maiden got together in 73 and had put out Maiden Maiden in 74. funny cuz im looking now at the record and the single and nothing before 80, period. And people keep saying "maybe another Maiden" but I cant find anything on another. So maybe a miss print when I was younger, maybe I just read wrong, w/e it was. I want to thank all for setting me stright. 75 born, 80 first release.

Up the Irons!
 
seems that ya, only release of earlier would be...
"The Soundhouse Tapes are the very first recordings of Iron Maiden. This record features three of the original four songs from the Spaceward demo tape which was recorded in one 24-hour session on 31st December 1978"
So agian, ty all for settin me stright. \m/>.<\m/

I miss T_S, how long before he makes a return, he never told was acs hi the longest song is  :(
and yeh it must be those maidens from brum Birmingham, GB that you have... easy test. Is the music any good?  :halo:
 
At first I thought you had got totally mixed up with AC/DC ('73 formation, '74 first release), but I'm guessing it was just a typo (just seemed coincidental so I thought I'd post this). Ah well good that your query is now solved.  :)

Never. Real World banned every IP that he ever used. I'm pretty sure Malaysia can never access this website.
