I actually joined this forum so I could add to this thread. I've been an Iron Maiden fan for years but I always felt a bit guilty listening because I thought they had Satanic tendencies, yet I never really heard in their lyrics any hard evidence, it basically came down to the odd lyric here and there and the cover art. While I feel some of their thoughts and lyrics have been misguided at times in the past, I never really felt that any of their music conspired against Christianity. That is great that Nicko is born again and I'll continue to listen and not feel guilty.

Personally, I have never heard of Iron Maiden, but my husband has. As born again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are commanded to be separate from worldly pleasures (including worldly music, like Iron Maiden). You cannot mix the Word of God with the world and still receive all that the Word of God has to offer. Just because a song mentions Christian words does not make it "Christian." Iron Maiden is simply a heavy metal rock band which has NOTHING to do with Jesus Christ. Take a good hard look at the song lyrics and the album covers of Iron Maiden--furthest thing I've seen from being Christian. Compare all this to what the Bible says about "walking in the Spirit" and being "conformed to the image of Christ".

Hi,
Yep seems I am bumping an old thread and its my first post! My hubby and I have gotten into a disagreement in this area. I don't like Iron Maiden for their music ( just me I know others do) but I also don't see how a Christian group would have such a character as Eddie? Can anyone shed light on that? That image is probably what bothers me the most .. just many of their album covers.. Thanks OH yeah next week they are in concert here and the hubby wants me to go, I just don't want too. I love all music genre's but some like Rob Zombie, love the sound of the music hate the look and some lyrics... |

I once heard a quote that remind me of things and people like the members of Iron Maiden, the lead singer of Korn, Ozzy Osborne, and such. "Standing in a garage doesn't make you any more a car than going to church makes you a Christian." In a nut shell, by their fruits you will know they are followers of Christ.
A while back, a guitarist from Slayer got sold out for the Lord. He left the band. In my opinion, it's difficult to imitate Christ and listen to the music of this world.
