Whitesnake, they rocked the 80's. I was a big Hall and Oates fan in the 80's and Duran Duran. Thats my 80's thang....Going to Duran every night for 2 weeks following them from city to city.
Iron Maiden's Steve Harris attributes the band name to a movie adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask. The group was named after the iron maiden torture device.
