When did iron maiden break up if they did that is?

Answer 1

Iron Maiden has never broken up. They have had some band member changes which include: Clive Burr being replaced before the Piece of Mind album by Nicko McBrain who is the current drummer for Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson replacing Paul Di'Anno before the Number of The Beast album. Blaze Bayley replacing Bruce Dickinson before The X-Factor album. And Bruce returning to replace Blaze Bayley before The Brave New World album. Adrian Smith being replaced by Janick Gers before the No Prayer For The Dying album (although Iron Maiden has had 2 guitar players most of the bands career, in 1999 when Bruce Dickinson returned, so did Adrian Smith to make it 3 Guitars in Iron Maiden.) Iron Maiden has had its troubles over the years, but they have stuck together since 1975 and continue since then to be one of the most prominent and influential metal bands of the century.
