โฆ Synopsis
This official biography is an accurate and unflinching account of the highs and lows that have accompanied the rise to fame of Britain's hardest rocking band. It demonstrates the artistic validity of Iron Maiden as much as their commercial impact.
From the back cover:
Iron Maiden's story, from their origins in the pubs of London's East End through to headlining immense global festivals, has been one of self-belief, determination and personal sacrifice in an extraordinary musical odyssey. Many of today's new generation of artists cite them as a major influence. However, for a band that is renowned worldwide for exciting live performances, massive stage shows, over 60 million record sales, seemingly endless sold-out tours and chart-topping success, this phenomenon didn't happen overnight.
This in-depth account from both current and former band members, managers, record company executives, music critics, producers, promoters and other music world illuminati unflinchingly charts both the highs and lows of making it in an industry renowned for its heights of excess as well as its depths of despair.
Run To The Hills is an honest and exhaustive insight into a band which has resolutely refused to sell out or compromise, yet remains one of the most highly respected around.
This updated edition of the band's story features new interviews with the current line-up about the recent highly acclaimed Dance Of Death album and tour, and the landmark show headlining to 250,000 people at the Rock In Rio Festival.
