666: NUMBER OF THE BEAST | IRON MAIDEN

Man I worked this one out! Number 666 is The Number of the Beast?! FUCK YEAH! This was an anthem album of my early teens. I used to draw Eddie Maidens on other kids arms and hands with any pen we could find.

At times, it still very much holds up. Maidens' first album with singer Bruce Dickerson has stood the test of time. Dickenson is still the power singer and pilot to their jet that tours the worlds to giant crowds. Hard to believe this heavy metal staple of an album is 35 years old and that they are still head-banging across the world.

Check out the documentary (link) Flight 666, which should give you a great portrait of who they were and are now. Also there is a lil doc below with more about their jet plane Ed-Force One.
