Answer: Iron Maiden

The early years of Iron Maiden was a revolving door of band members with Steve Harris the only constant member until Dave Murray joined in 1978 and Nicko McBrain in 1982. Lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, left the band for a few years in the '90s but rejoined in 1999. Iron Maiden has had a huge influence on the heavy metal genre and is one of the most widely known metal bands.

Eddie the Head is featured on all of the band's album covers and merchandise with many different guises.
8. Randy Rhoads was an original member of this band before leaving to play for Ozzy Osborne in 1979. What band did Randy help create with bassist Kelly Garni?

Answer: Quiet Riot

Lead Singer, Kevin DuBrow, was the only original member still in the band, Quiet Riot, when they released their biggest selling album in 1983, "Metal Health". DuBrow died in 2007 of a cocaine overdose. Drummer, Frankie Banali, though not a founding member, was the senior member of the band. In 2010, Banali reformed Quiet Riot.

Randy Rhoads became a legend playing for Ozzy before his untimely death in 1982 in a flying accident.
9. Drummer, Rob Gardner, formerly of L.A. Guns, was this bands original drummer before quitting and being replaced by Steven Adler. They were later signed by Geffen Records in 1986. What's the name of the band?

Interpersonal conflict caused the core group to break up throughout the '90s. G N' R looks nothing like the original band with lead singer, Axl Rose, the only original member still with the group. G N' R was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2012.
