Between band tensions, going solo, or even getting fired, some bands like Black Sabbath have had their drama-fueled stories. In a list compiled by LoudWire, only one topped their list of longest-running metal bands that never broke: Iron Maiden.
"It’s a bit unreal, really,” Harris told Kerrang!. “It's a big number and you think, ‘Wow’ and it’s a bit scary as well, but it's amazing that we're still doing it I can’t speak for the rest of them, but for me, I'm 70 now and I can't believe I'm 70. Same with the band. I don't know what you're supposed to feel like when you're 70 or in a 50-year-old band, but I feel alright, really!”
By the time the band worked on their debut album, Iron Maiden, which was released in 1980, the lineup had changed to include Harris, Paul Di'Anno, Murray, Dennis Stratton, and Clive Burr. The band went through another shakeup over the next two years, with Bruce Dickinsontaking on vocals, Adrian Smith on guitar, and Nicko McBrain on drums.
Decades later, the band is still releasing new music, with their 17th studio album, Senjutsu, having been released in 2021. Runner-up on Loudwire's list is none other than Saxon, who formed in 1977.
