"Iron Maiden" is a song by Iron Maiden on their debut album Iron Maiden. It was written by Steve Harris and had been featured before on The Soundhouse Tapes. The original recording featured Dennis Stratton and Dave Murray on guitars. The song is now well known as the band's signature song to the general public (along with "The Number of the Beast" and "Run to the Hills") and is usually played as one of the last songs of any given show. A live video was the 16th video played during the launch of MTV, making it the first heavy metal video ever played on MTV.
