I recently notices that a band called Aveneged Sevenfold seem to steal Maiden's ideas. I am a Sevenfold fan myself but when I realised that on the song 'M.I.A.' they copied something that Maiden have done at least twice, on 'Fear of the Dark' and 'Brave New World', I was quite dismayed.
What both 'Fear of the Dark' and 'Brave New World' did was have a "soft and ominous" (took that out of the commentary) beginning with a similar ending.
Fear of the Dark: I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park for the beginning, and When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone at the end.
Brave New World: Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home as the beginning, and Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home at the end.
What Avenged Sevenfold did was use this "soft and ominous" beginning and end in 'M.I.A.'
Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise. Living another day in disguise. These feelings cant be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight. This is the beginning.
We'll walk the city lonely, memories that haunt are passing by. A murderer walks your streets tonight. Forgive me for my crimes. Don't forget that I was so young, faught so scared. In the name of God and Country. For the ending.
I think the song is about the War in Iraq, as you could find out if you were to listen to then song. More to the point though, does anyone else know of any songs that have 'Maiden-thief' written all over it?
