It's just a Duke Nukem knockoff, but that's apparently enough for the band to force it to change its name.

Is the band aware of the fact that an iron maiden is an actual item from history

They should've fought this.

I wish it would be possible to counter-lawsuit those bitches
It's not the same name, it's similar. Why is being similar is enough to fill a lawsuit?

That's probably why they're going through with the rename in the first place. It's publicity.

i agree

also as KP pointed out the Iron Maiden was an actual thing before the band and it's BS that they were forced to change it

but the free publicity from the name change and not having to spend money hiring a lawyer may have swing their decision to chance it without a fight
