Bio
This Rocktron Artist Uses…
Iron Maiden guitarist, Dave Murray needs a professional controller for his rig while on the road. According to details of his system presented in Guitar World magazine, Murray uses the Rocktron All Access footswitch to control his rig. “Maiden songs are fairly complex, so I like to keep my switching relatively simple onstage.”
Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from Leyton in East London, formed in 1975. The band is directed by founder, bassist and songwriter Steve Harris. Since their inception, the group has released a collective total of thirty albums: fourteen studio albums, seven live albums, four EPs and four compilations.
As pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Iron Maiden achieved success during the early 1980s and after several lineup changes, went on to release a series of platinum and gold albums. These include the US platinum-selling landmarks The Number of the Beast in 1982, Piece of Mind in 1983, Powerslave in 1984, the acclaimed live album Live After Death in 1985, Somewhere In Time in 1986, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son in 1988. Their most recent studio effort, A Matter of Life and Death, was released in 2006 and peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200 and at number 4 in the UK. The album was certified gold in the UK. It is also one of the few rock albums to be certified platinum in India.As one of the most successful heavy metal bands to date, Iron Maiden have sold more than 100 million records worldwide. The band won the Ivor Novello Awards for international achievement in 2002, and were also inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk in Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California during their tour in the United States in 2005. As of October 2009, the band has played just over 2000 live shows during their career.
On 31 October 2007, Iron Maiden announced that they had commissioned an Astraeus 757 as transport for their ‘Somewhere Back in Time’ tour in 2008. The aircraft was named by the members of the band “Ed Force One”. The aircraft was converted into a combi configuration, repainted with a special Iron Maiden livery, had a list of all the places where the band was going to present in the tour Somewhere Back in Time’ and was used in this scheme until 28 May 2008 for commercial flights as well as use by Iron Maiden. The same aircraft (G-OJIB) was used again on the second leg of the Somewhere Back in Time tour in 2009. The plane also plays a major role on the award-winning documentary “Iron Maiden: Flight 666” which was seen in movie theatres in 42 countries on April 21, 2009 (the “Maiden Day”) and was released in DVD and Blu-Ray formats in the US in 9 June 2009.
