FMX has a storied history with Iron Maiden, and we\u2019re ready to add another chapter.<\/p>\n
I wish you could\u2019ve been there back in the day. We had giant Eddies backstage peeking out at the crowd, those legendary twin guitars, and Bruce being as over-the-top as ever. We even set up a soccer match between Iron Maiden\u2019s crew and the Texas Tech team \u2014 and yes, somewhere out there are some very questionable black-and-white photos to prove it.<\/p>\n
At one point, FMX practically became a promotional arm for the band. That\u2019s when I learned something important: sometimes greatness comes down to simple ideas. When Iron Maiden rolled through on the Piece of Mind tour, I saw the album cover and thought, \u201cWe need a straightjacket for the band to sign.\u201d They loved it so much, we ended up helping supply straightjackets for the entire tour. At the next stop? Battle axes. And yes \u2014 it was every bit as awesome as it sounds.<\/p>\n
Now you\u2019ve got a chance to relive those memories \u2014 or experience Iron Maiden for the very first time \u2014 on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be clear: this isn\u2019t a concert film. Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition is a feature-length documentary, packed with behind-the-scenes moments, Eddie animation, and, of course, some performance footage. Don\u2019t expect a mosh pit in the theater \u2014 but do expect to spend some time with a band that means as much to you as it does to us.<\/p>\n
