Iron Maiden introduced me to many books, movies, shows that I would have probably never found out about. My favorite show they introduced me too was a 1960's series called 'The Prisoner', and a great old school sci-fi flick called 'Village Of The Damned' and 'Children Of The Damned' both from their 'Number Of The Beast' album.

For another relatively obscure Maiden tune from Piece Of Mind......I suggest "Sun And Steel" which is often overlooked compared to the majorly well known tracks from Piece Of Mind.

So I handed in my guitar and sarcastically said show me... He said okay give me some time to figure it out.... About 2 days later he admitted to me that he had no idea how to play any of that stuff.... And then pretty much every day he would bring a rolled joint into my bedroom and asked me to turn him on to music..... He was a metalhead ever since.... Up until the day you died.... It was a rare thing to see him without a Megadeth or iron maiden shirt on in his later years.... He showed me how to play in drop d tuning long before drug detuning became common... He said that he learned it from old Waylon Jennings songs.... But I was a more natural lead guitarist... I was ripping out Kirk Hemmet solos after I had only been playing a few days ..... So he and I would give each other guitar lessons...... Metal music was a great bonding experience for my father and I.... Thanks to bands like iron maiden.... Up the irons forever and ever

This song instantly was my absolute favorite - among the many others on this incredible album! Trying to sing along to the best of my abilities also helped me practice english before I even had regular classes in school as a 5th-grader... - the lyrics on the inlet-cover were pretty helpful, too... ;-) When great songs like this find their reactors to I always hope those guys really never heard that given song before, as nothing kicks me like people's genuine reactions to stuff...
