THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST was Iron Maiden's greatest achievement, and, accordingly it brought them their greatest popularity and notoriety. Revered by metal fans for their focus on music and reviled by critics for their supposed "satanist" leanings, this record represents the seminal British metal band at their peak. Featuring a track by track examination of the record's original multi-tracks lead by Martin Birch, the album's producer, as well as interviews with rock journalists that put accusations made against the band in perspective, this documentary provides an inside look at one of the best and most notorious metal albums of the 1980s.

This is a documentary about the Classic album 'Number of The Beast'. I was expecting a music DVD. The DVD is however very interesting and interviews with the band reveal how this album started the ball rolling and how they enjoy working together, also features a preview of the EXCELLENT ROCK IN RIO DVD.
Just don't expect too much music as it is mainly interviews with band members.
I'm a maiden fan of little over a year, it has to be said, but I have been won over in such a short time by their fast licks, screaming vocals, and almost spiritual melodies. A nice surprise then to find this Iron Maiden DVD!
The DVD itself has a main feature of about an hour's length, in which we skip between live footage, chats with those associated with the band, and exclusive interviews with the band members themselves.
The interviews are pretty juicy, and we learn a lot about the band as musicians, and as people. I mean, I was surprised how normal Bruce Dickinson seemed, being a member of such a crazy metal band and all.
There's extra features such as specific interviews and specific great live performances, so its all good.
All in all a great DVD.
