EDIT: actually it's "charlotte the harlot" that danced around on the stage during some '82 era shows

Really? That's a good catch! I would never have remembered that.

So Charlotte became a tranny and calls itself Benjamin Breeg these days? Mystery solved.

On one listen, the song is good. Not great, not bad, but good. The mid-section of course is the best. Don't hear any Led Zep anywhere either. Plus it sounds pretty mastered to me.

ya. either they have a very loose definition of "no mastering" (i.e. yeah i guess we did run a multiband compressor on the stereo bus but thats not mastering hehehe) or someone at the record company decided they knew better than steve (i wouldn't want to be that person though)

So far this is typical comeback-era Maiden, with a riff sharper than most of DOD, and more than a hint of the unstoppable interplay of old five minutes in. That solo has to be Adrian...but I still don't know who the fuck this Breeg dude is.

disclaimer: this domain was registered in june '06 (after the release of the song title, but before the release of any lyrics) so it might be someone being a funnyguy BUT since after listening to the lyrics they seem to fit with this story (I'M ABLE TO SEE THINGS / THINGS I DON'T WANT TO SEE) my theory is that someone at Maiden HQ has planted this website on the Internet, whether the story is true or not I have no idea
 
to save himself from himself



p.s. the line "save me from myself" is actually in the song i dunno if you noticed and if the above was a direct reference to that in which case i apologize
 
i was reminded of "age of innocence" a lot myself but that one heavy & aggressive riff is pretty awesome and not like the last couple of albums
