IRON MAIDEN song on "miami vice"

[raveballs]

okay, this is totally random, but my roommate was watching an old episode of "miami" vice and they played "only the good die young" in it. some heavy metal kid was a witness in some crime. "Line of Fire" episode originally aired 12/16/88.
just thought this was cool because you don't hear much maiden on tv, then or now.

I love that song. It takes me back to my high school days

"Only the Good Die Young" was played on Miami Vice?! I never knew that.

Was it the whole song, or just a portion of it?

Man, if I had known that Maiden was played on Miami Vice, I would have been watching Miami Vice constantly. Not for Don Johnson, but just to hear Maiden.

That's pretty damn cool, especially since it's not a well known song amongst casual fans.
