The holiday season brought with it reunions all over, and heavy metal legends Iron Maiden had the same idea, as the band’s original lineup recently got together for the first time in over forty years.
Last Saturday, December 30th, the earliest known iteration of Iron Maiden met up to reminisce about old memories as well as make new ones. The gathering consisted of bassist Steve Harris, frontman Paul Mario Day, and guitarists Dave Sullivan and Terry Rance. Original drummer Ron “Rebel” Matthews was absent. As Day noted on Facebook, the last time this lineup was together was way, way back in 1976.
“The gang almost all together since 1976, or there abouts.” Day wrote. “I cannot begin to tell you how good it feels. Tonight will burned in my memory for life.”
