Iron Maiden Picture Game

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

The UN was formed after WW2, you could say the survivors united.

The first picture is the UN, you've right there. It doesn't represent anything more complicated than that tho'.

The same was at least relevant for the other two.

Umm, dunno.

Is it WTWWB?

'Tis not.

So, let's take one step back. We have leaders in a UN meeting. Are any of the individuals important, or is the main thing that it is a UN meeting?

Then we have soldiers releasing a pigeon, and a picture of the Titanic. The only Maiden song I can remember that mentions birds and ships is Rime, but Rime does not have politicians. But hey, let's paraphrase the song, skip one of three, and say Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

There's a picture of the Titanic, which is a ship. A ship's speed is measured in knots. Alexander cut the Gordian Knot, so 'Alexander the Great'?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Or is the solution an anagram of "UN", "Pigeon" and "Titanic"?

The dudes aren't important. It's the UN, that's it.

Then we have soldiers releasing a pigeon, and a picture of the Titanic.

That is correct, on both counts. What is the pigeon? What does it do?

No. This isn't a one single phrase/lyric link with no other connection. This links fundamentally to the track in question.

Or is the solution an anagram of "UN", "Pigeon" and "Titanic"?

No, it's not that complicated...

Oh sorry, missed that guess.

No.

When Two Worlds Collide

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

The pigeon flies. The UN, like air travel, unites the world (or that is the idea, at least). And a plane may fly over the dark Atlantic, over mariners' stormy graves.

Coming Home?

When Two Worlds Collide

Nup.

The pigeon flies.

If it was an ordinary pigeon, I'd have posted a photo of an ordinary pigeon. Eating chips or something. What is this particular pigeon doing?

Forget the UN and the Titanic for the moment. Concentrate on the pigeon.

Coming Home?

Nup.

Well everyone in the first picture is probably dead by now, perhaps you could say that they're ghosts. The pigeon is navigating, I suppose. And the song is about sailing, hence the titanic pic.

I already said the people aren't relevant. It's the UN, that's it.

All pigeons navigate. All pigeons fly. What kind of pigeon is this? What's it doing?

And the song about sailing, hence the titanic pic.

It has nothing to do with sailing.

Did someone guess The Talisman already?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Did someone guess The Talisman already?

Dunno.

 

[Diesel 11]

I'm guessing it's not the correct answer then.

Spoiler

But if it is, I'm the one who guessed it.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

You guessed correct. It's not the correct answer.

 

[Perun]

All pigeons navigate. All pigeons fly. What kind of pigeon is this? What's it doing?

A carrier pigeon, getting a message somewhere.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

A carrier pigeon, getting a message somewhere.

Damn right big chap! It's a carrier pigeon, carrying a message...

What might you call anything (bird, person, etc) that carries a message?

 

[Stardust]

...The Prophecy?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

What might you call anything (bird, person, etc) that carries a message?

...The Prophecy?

That's too complicated. I meant a lot more literal than that. If you carry a message you are a what?
