The debut of Bruce was in 1982 with "The Number of the Beast", a successful sales and it reached the top of the world stops. For the 1st time, Iron Maiden went on world tour, so was born the Maidenmania.
Soon after came the albums: "Piece of Mind" (1983) where the drummer Clive Burr leaves the band to devote more to family and in its place enter Nick McBrain, "Powerslave" (1984), to tour this album, the World Slavery Tour, was the biggest tour of the Iron, with about three hundred presentations, and a production stage with enviable sarcophagi, pyramids, Eddie one of over 10 meters in height and several other things. There is nothing that comes out of this tour the 1st record of the live band, the "Live After Death."
After those albums that took the Iron Maiden to the top, they are resolved experimental launch two disks: the "Somewhere in Time" (1986) using the 1st time guitar synthesizer, and after "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" (1988) marked the exit of guitarist Adrian Smith.
In place of Janick Gers and Adrian enter album "In Praying for the Dying" (1990) is launched, with the solo career of Bruce Dickison official, but until then he could reconcile the two. This story changed after the release of the renowned album "Fear of the Dark" (1992), Bruce chose his solo career, and at the end of the tour the album, in 1993, he left the Iron. In its place called Harris Blaze Bayley.
Blaze started the band with 2 discs: "The X Factor" in 1995 and "Virtual XI" in 1998, albums that fans do not like much.
But for the happiness of Maidenmania Bruce Dickison returns in 1999, not only him, but Adrian Smith. To the surprise of fans decide they are with Janick Gers, they have 3 guitarists Iron.
The return comes with the album "Brave New World" (2000), which marked the band's return to Brazil at Rock in Rio and yielded a DVD. In 2003 launched the "Dance of Death" which won the platinum disc, and in 2006 leaves the 14th album of the band, the "A Matter of Life and Death."
