I remember ~35 years ago we played that for the English class, and Alexander the Great for history. Still a big Maiden fan, and going to their concerts.
The live version from 'Live after Death' is better imho.
Oh man, tights and long hair, I had forgotten about that. Weird how, say, Black Sabbath had a completely different fashion aesthetic even though they were playing similar music at around the same time.
There was some overlap but Black Sabbath started in 1968 while Iron Maiden's first album wasn't until 1980 (although they had been around for a while). That's quite a long time in music/fashion. Iron Maiden was part of the new wave of British Heavy metal which kicked off a lot of the bands like Metallica that went on to great success. Iron Maiden are still going strong and quite a lot of their songs have interesting links to history/literature. Up the Irons!
