Iron Maiden And the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (Full Documentary)

Just in case you might have missed this interesting video, this is a documentary on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that began in 1979, with special emphasis on Iron Maiden, but it also covers bands like Saxon, Praying Mantis, Diamond Head, Tygers of Pan Tang, Def Leppard and other bands. It is a long documentary, but for fans interested in the history of metal music, it is very entertaining and educational. Below you will find some more videos on the topic. For fans interested in hearing the bands' music at that particular time, a very good compilation is New Wave of British Heavy Metal '79 Revisited compiled by Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich and music journalist Geoff Barton and released in 1990 on Caroline Records and later Metal Blade Records.
