'Heavy metal is not just loud noise'

Weekend

Available for over a year

A new documentary called Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition has been released. It follows the ups and downs of the band's five-decade career, and includes contributions from Maiden fans all over the world. One of them is regular Weekend panellist Lina Khatib. She told us how listening to heavy metal music was the only thing that made sense while living through the Lebanese civil war.
