Heavy Metal is alive and well in America and beyond. Whether having a fondness for Iron Maiden or other bands of the 80s, many now have bands playing music of these hard core rockers all over the world. In the case of Iron Maiden, the Iron Maidens, an all female tribute rock band out of Los Angeles is rocking the socks off fans all over the map.
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.
As well known guitarist Phil Campbell of Motorhead sat in on the 2nd album, sells were somewhat better than the first. At the same time, numbers and profits were to as good as the band had originally hoped. Still, the group moved forward and continued playing in the United States and abroad.
In the summer of 2008, the band went through more changes resulting in the current line up. In 2010, the group released a DVD of the Japan tour called Metal Gathering Live in Japan 2010. After which, in 2015 long-time guest guitarist Nikki Stringfield became an official member of the band. As with previous album releases, DVDs were a big hit among fans and especially with those living in Japan. While this is the case, the DVD did not sell as well in 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.
