3. Sharing A Global Connection With Other Maiden Fans
TumblrAs witnessed in the powerful documentary Flight 666, Iron Maiden isn't just a local flavor only celebrated in the United Kingdom. Iron Maiden has been a global movement since the beginning. Nearly four decades later, they continue refusing to conform to the mainstream, instead remaining steadfastly true to their musical integrity. This attitude has lead people from all over to gravitate toward their unwavering image, forming what is easily one of the most powerful fan bases in world. What's great about being a Maiden fan (fanatic) is that wherever you are on this globe there are thousands of other Troopers just like you. The reason why the fan base has remained strong and continues to grow with almost no mainstream attention is the band continues to show us their appreciation. While a lot of other artists (pop divas) are completely spoiled and aloof to their fans, hidden behind security guards and bad behavior, Maiden consistently shows that they support us as much as we do them, lending a genuine feeling to the movement.
