More than 30 years on, it remains an absolute metal classic and one that has rarely been matched, let alone beaten. Magical concept aside, it also saw the band at their musical best – dynamic, punchy and epic all at the same time. “It’s a classic story of good versus evil, only with no guarantees whatsoever that it’s the good guys who eventually come through,” said Bruce of the tale of a boy with supernatural powers. “For me, it’s like the enormous leap we suddenly made from our first two albums to releasing Number Of The Beast – very much a step forward, a step up.” It seems many of you agree as you’ve voted the band’s ’80s peak and only true concept album as Iron Maiden’s finest hour.

In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, Kory Grow joins host Brian Hiatt to discuss the metal side of Stranger Things, from the new Gen-Z fans Metallica is winning to the real stories of the Satanic Panic. “You’ve got to have a lot of time on your hands to even consider that people would do that.”)ĭungeons & Dragons faced its own delusional accusers, with one lawsuit accusing the role-playing game of using “demonology, witchcraft, voodoo, murder, rape, blasphemy, suicide, assassination, insanity, sex perversion, homosexuality, prostitution, satanic type rituals, gambling, barbarism, cannibalism, sadism, desecration, demon summoning, necromantics, divination and other teachings.”
(“Who on Earth would have ever thought of doing that?” Robert Plant replied to Rolling Stone. Preachers made the-long-since-broken-up Led Zeppelin seem cooler than ever by claiming that “Stairway to Heaven” included the words “master Satan” or “my sweet Satan” when played backwards. Both Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne faced preposterous lawsuits for purportedly encouraging fans to commit suicide via hidden messages in their music.
