| You've obviously never heard any other Iron Maiden stuff. Bruce's version is better than this one. | |

| This and Clansman are my favorite songs by Iron Maiden. I can just see what they are singing about; they are such great singers and their voices have the way of making the hair on the back of my neck stand up. The choice of words they use and how they sing it, they really bring out the best in the song. | |
