Lead singer Bruce Dickinson talks to the CBC as the British heavy metal band is supported by Twisted Sister on its 1984 World Slavery tour.
When Iron Maiden came to the Halifax Metro Centre on the World Slavery tour in support of their album Powerslave in 1984, some Haligonians were nervous.
The British heavy metal band was touring with Twisted Sister, then riding high on the strength of their single We're Not Gonna Take It.
"What do today's young people really want?" asked earnest CBC reporter Melvin McLeod, introducing his piece on the concert.
"You wanna rock. You wanna rock," growled a young bearded man ahead of the show. Fans at the arena also waved a homemade Iron Maiden banner.
"Contrary to popular opinion, 10,000 kids aren't going to ruin Halifax tonight," said Twisted Sister lead singer Dee Snider backstage before the show. "They're going to go home and have a good night's sleep ... because they really enjoyed themselves."
