They can actually make lyrics qbout things and if you listen to the lyrics there is true meaning behind them about historical events, war, and living life to the fullest NOT YOLO because that implies you have to act like an idiot but making your life meaningful in yours and others eyes. I would say though that one of their cleanest albums is the Brave New World album which has good music and I believe no foul la guage at all but dont take my word 100% because there may be one or two in there and try to get past the surface of the lyrics and dig deeper ther is a deeper meaning in these songs.

[QUOTE="Cameron28, post: 63198886, member: 332181"] First want to say that Iron Maiden is my favorite bamd of all time. That being said I can see where people would think that Iron Maiden is a satanic bamd and thats at the cover but havent we all heard dont judge a book by its cover? I believe thats exactly what people did and they never actually listened to the band. The person mainly depicted on the cover is a charcater named eddie who in the early days of the band was created by an art student who was friends with the band and made a skeleton head from paper mache. Then the man who made the bands cover art expanded on that idea and eddie was born and given the name because the band came to called it eddie the head from an old british joke. But anyways on to the music the main inspirers of the bands song are usually movies, books, historical events, and in some cases dreams like one of their most famous songs number of the beast. Expanding on that song tyat song was based on a dream the lead singer bruce dickinson had but was expanded on as you can hear in the beginning of the song an eerie voice talking about the number of the beast. Im not sure about the first sentence but the second is a quote from the Bible itself im not sure of the exact verso but it says "Let him who have understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is 666." so that is a reference to the devil but not in a celebratory manner but more of as one guy posting on here said a poking fun at critics and those calling them satanists.
