Bruce Dickinson just made a statement about Iron Maiden’s line up… and it is exactly what the Iron Maiden fans needed to hear!

Despite most Iron Maiden fans referring to the post 2000 Maiden formation as the band’s new era, it’s 6-piece line up, introduced in 1999 with the return the vocalist Bruce Dickinson and the legendary guitarist Adrian Smith has actually become the longest running line up the band has ever had… by far!

And in a recent interview with Stereogum when asked about the secret of longevity of Iron Maiden’s current formation compared to their earlier line ups Bruce Dickinson had the best possible response, which completely shuts down of all of the fan conspiracy theories and online talks about Iron Maiden members actually hating on each other which have been going around for years now… somewhat proving that if Adrian and Bruce would not have left back 30 something years ago… most likely there simply would not be Iron Maiden right now… so let's discuss it!
