For more than 25 years, Iron Maiden has led the way in heavy metal -selling over 50 million records, setting trends, and influencing everyone from Metallica to Marilyn Manson. In this popular biography, now in its third edition, the authors interview individual band members and get their stories of how it all began, describe Maiden's rise to the top, and provide a general picture of the music industry.

Run to the Hills: Iron Maiden, the Authorized Biography Reviews:
Todo fans debe tenerlo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 Star Review
2008-09-23 - Desde el incio este libro se nota que est escrito por alguien que conoce de Rock yque porsupuesto conoce a la banda. Mick Wall nos introduce en el naciente mundo del Heavy Metal britanico y da luces de cada hecho que transformo en histora a Iron Maiden. Si bien no hay muchas fotografias que acompañen el libro, no es menor que la historia de cada integrante te da luces de como la fortuna o una alineaciòn de planetas junto a la gente indicada en el lugar indicado. Si quieres formar tu propia banda te sera muy ùtil y si quieres ser un representante te da mayor informaciòn aun sobretodo por el papel de Rod Smalwood. Los testimonios son de primera fuente y de seguro te sorprenderas con algunos relatos, quien trato de grabar como Queen, quièn queria ser baterista en un comienzo, la elecciòn de Blaze como reemplazo, los shows en que Dickinson solo murmuro las canciones, el porque de la salida de Clive Burr etc, etc. Es la unica y mejor biografia de Maiden, aunque llega al 2004 de seguro que una 3ra ediciòn llegarà al 2008.

Maiden 4-Ever 5 Star Review
2007-04-15 - This is a really great book. Not only as it is the biography of one of the greatest heavy metal bands: Iron Maiden written by excellent writer Mick Wall (of Kerrang / Classic Rock fame). The book perfectly describes the bands unique determination to keep playing and growing continuously as band members are exchanged and overall music trends are changing.

The band's story is very inspirational and instills the mantra to never give up and keep fighting for what you thing is right will give results. Well recommended to all fans of music.

Excellent in-depth book of the history of Iron Maiden 4 Star Review
2006-11-15 - What I like about this book is that it tells the story behind the band and their music, rather than being a groupie/drugs tales book (like Hammer of the Gods on Zeppelin, for example). I've been reading magazine articles, books, etc. on the band for about a decade and a half, and I learned a lot from this book, but little from anything I've read since! It gives a large amount of detail on band member backgrounds and the rise of the band - I think you're about a third of the way through the book before he reaches the first album.
There are 2 reasons I don't give it 5 stars. First of all, the book breezes through what I (and many others) consider the peak of the band, the four albums from Piece of Mind to Seventh Son, and the author under-rates these albums. I've never met a fan who considers anything Maiden have done since the 80's as being as good as these albums, but the author considers the X Factor a masterpiece and Powerslave as full of filler! This is nonsense. Also, I think the book would be the better if it followed Bruce and Blaze's solo work a little - I think Bruce's albums in the 90's (specifically the 2 with Adrian Smith) are as much Maiden as anything the band put out, and both singers put out excellent work after leaving Maiden that are probably mostly listened to by Maiden fans.
I have the first edition of this book (from 1998, I believe), but it has been updated with each new album by the band. I'll probably pick up the next edition, if they update it for the new CD.

what's up with the bad reviews? 5 Star Review
2005-07-08 - Mick Wall doesn't try to influence the reader with suggestions that any particular period of the group was better than another. Nor does his own personal opinions of which album was their best appear at all. This is just a well-balanced overview of one of the most important bands in rock music. For those interested in a sex and drugs book, this isn't for you. A great read, I couldn't put it down.

Great read! 5 Star Review
2005-02-17 - Disregard those negative responses. This book is amazing and very knowledgable. Any metal fan would enjoy it, and even super Maiden freaks will learn quite a bit from it too.

It's an amazing biography from one of the greatest/most influential heavy metal bands. Everyone should read it!
