No Picture it Lead Player	#1 by it died at Dec 16, 2006 at 1:57 AM EST
	Yeah its definitly fucked up metallica ripped off this song twice 1 the intro the is the unforgiven 2 the heavy breakdown at 2:21 is is the heavy breakdown on metallica's (welcome home) sanitarium FUCK METALLICA LONG LIVE THE BEAST

No Picture Aaron Wanna Be	#2 by Aaron schmidt at Jan 28, 2007 at 12:16 AM EST
	I just love the intro!

No Picture «™†Rob†™» Average	#3 by «™†Rob†™» at Feb 17, 2007 at 9:03 PM EST
	One of the best songs off of "The Number of the Beast" and one of my favorites. One of the first Maiden songs I heard and I was not disappointed. It's an all around kick ass song. It's based on the movie of the same name, "Children of the Damned".

No Picture Aaron Average	#4 by Aaron Doyle at Apr 12, 2007 at 5:09 PM EST
	it is odd how the 2 intos sound the same, but who ripped of the other? 'tallica and maiden are moth awesome though

No Picture Trent Average	#5 by Trent Zelasney at Jul 14, 2007 at 9:06 PM EST
	This site is great!!! Only just found it and have enjoyed reading all the Maiden comments. This song is indeed based on the film Village of the Damned which in turn was based on the book The Midwich Cuckoos (by John Wyndham who also wrote The Day of the Triffids). 1

No Picture Diexis Lead Player	#6 by Diexis at Sep 2, 2007 at 1:01 PM EST
	its kinda hard to like maiden but not like metallica. just because they put out st.assy doesnt mean that their early stuff didnt suck. reblyis ur completely wrong. welcome home might hav been influenced by this but they didnt rip it off. any way im goin with udijins with the meaning.
