Bruce Dickinson was the band's long time lead singer. When he left the band in 1993, they hired Blaze Bayley with whom they recorded two albums. Bruce Dickinson replaced Paul Di'Anno in 1981.

I have only heard 2 songs where Iron Maiden have sworn, both songs are on the brutally underrated "No prayer for the dying" album .On "Holy smoke", and on the opener "Tailgunner".
... actually in tailgunner, the lyrics are "Nail that Fokker kill that son" a Fokker was a plane in WW1 (or 2 I don't remember) there are no curse words in the song at all, which leaves only "Holy Smoke" and yes they curse in that... ~ KillerBeeZ

Why did clive burr leave iron maiden?
Clive was fired for his unreliability. According to the band, Clive was letting his partying affect his performance on stage (which Steve Harris has always maintained is unforgivable). Clive himself, however, denies this, stating that he was fired after bailing out of the tour to attend his father's funeral. It doesn't seem likely that that would be the only reason for his dismissal, but Bruce Dickinson has since commented that he regrets the way in which the band handled Clive.

What is the largest crowd iron maiden had had in attendance?

How much are old vinyl records worth?
Determining a vinyl record's value has many parts:
- condition of the record (scratches, etc)
- who or what group is recorded on the platter
- what year the recording was made
- which company made the recording (DGG, RCA, etc)
Each vinyl platter would have to be evaluated by one who is well versed in such things.
Given Blondie/Deborah Harry vinyl prices as an example:
an early 1976 12" album is worth $10;
a late 1998 (the year they switched to CD) vinyl album is also worth $10;
an early 1976 7" single is worth $20;
a late 1998 7" single is worth $5.00.
"Spiral Scratch", (1990/before CDs) the definite UK price guide to vinyl gives the following values:
a 12" album is worth $3-$8 or 2-5 GBP and a 7" single is worth $3-$10 or 2-6 GBP .
