When it comes to heavy metal, there are a lot of well known classics as well as a few newcomers. In addition, as with rock and roll there are a lot of cover and tribute bands. When it comes to the Iron Maidens from Los Angeles, California, the group is an all female tribute band to the original rockers known as Iron Maiden.
Currently, the includes two lead guitarists, a drummer, a bassist and a vocalist. The band went through several line-up changes between 2001 and 2003. While this is the case, there group has seen musicians and come and go since the time the band was founded in 2001.
While the band started working on an initial album in 2003, it was not released until 2005. At that time, Aja Kim had replaced founding member Jenny Warren on vocals. As the band continued as a woman only group, the title Only All Female Iron Maiden Tribute Band was still a fitting one. Whereas, more changes were made to the line-up following the release though the group still retained its women only status.
In 2007, the band released another album titled Route 66. One of the most interesting things about the release is that there is a guest appearance by guitarist Phil Campbell of Motorhead. As such, the sales were somewhat better than the previous album but still not as good as the band had hoped.
In 2010, the group released a DVD, Metal Gathering Live In Japan 2010. After which, Nikki Stringfield became a regular band member and was officially recognized as the band's guitarist. While the DVD was a big hit in Japan, the DVD was not as successful in the United States and other areas.
The question still remains as to whether the group will tour domestically or internationally again in the future. While this is the case, the group does have a few shows scheduled in the United States beginning in February. Whereas, Rosenberg and Stringfield recently appeared on the music game show Beat Shazam in August of 2017.
Regardless of changes in line-up, the group has often been loved by those in the heavy metal world. As with other tribute bands such as Blue Floyd and Lez Zeppelin, the group has a following. As such, there is no doubt the band will continue to have a fan base as long as there are albums and shows. At the same time, as the band has experienced so many line-up changes, it would most likely benefit the group to keep the current line-up in tact as long as possible.
For more about this heavy metal tribute band, fans can check out a number of videos on YouTube and other video sites. Whereas, the main Facebook page has a number of photos and videos along with a discussion forum and tour dates. Whether viewing a video or seeing the band live, original Iron Maiden fans will no doubt enjoy the memories and music which are reborn through tribute bands.
