Very interesting read. I still think it's more about discovcering what the truth is all about, rather than discovering that there's no God and that it all was a lie. I think it's about the lies that are out there, being washed away at the threshold of death...with an open mind about anything...

Yes, I know it's not true 5.1....but it's not mono either. Let me give an example. The lead vocals are almost completely through the center speaker. Anything panned mostly to the left will come through the left rear speaker....anything slightly left will come through the left front...

Holy crap....listening again...not sure why I didn't hear it before....even the guitar tone is similar to Red 13. Nice catch, dude. Kinda funny, too....since that's the album cover I did for them, LOL!

What the system does is decided based on the balance from left to right of the sounds, which speaker to send the sounds to. The most centered go through the center speaker, things a little to the left or right go through the from speakers, and the sounds that are pushed out farthest to the left...

Yes, some very deep thoughts there, and thank you for sharing them with us. I think perhaps, though...it's all just a little bit TOO deep. Notice that he doesn't say there's no Christ and all that. He says that the preacher loses face with Christ. To me, that means that the preachers who would...

Well, I like a lot of music ranging all the way out to Simon & Garfunkel and the Indigo Girls...so sometimes I hear a guitar solo that can give me little hints of several artists. I listened close again, and nothing would have jumped out at me without being prompted....but perhaps are you...

It sure is! I love the line about streaching out his hand in front of his face, and his fingers span across entire countries

I believe I recall that airlines fly high enough to technically be considered a satellite. I have been known to be wrong on occasion, though. The song is definitely related to him being a pilot of an airliner, though. This is Bruce trying to explain to us what it feels like for him while he's...

It doesn't. He's talking about coming home to "Albion's Land"....meaning the UK.

The Man Who Would Be King I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. They create a shelter....they do all the preparations...they gather supplies to last them some time....none of these things are anything they would do if they were planning on killing themselves when the trouble came. Also...

The Man Who Would Be King I really don't think so. They didn't just move things out of the way....they actually made a shelter. You don't bother making a shelter of you INTEND to take the poison right as it happens. I really think they panicked when the earthquake happened, and in that...

you know when you eat a lot of corn....and later on you see little yellow pieces in your poo? I wonder if that could be considered a corn doll? :blink:Also....i wonder if it's too soon yet, to come up with a set of parody lyrics....something having to do with a corn dog? :lol:

You know...this song has taken me the longest time of all the songs, to realllllly get used to...but just right now...as it's playing while I'm typing...its just somehow clicked. Isn't it odd how that happens sometimes? I mean...BAM....it's all good in my head. I still wasn't 100% sure about it...

Just remember...next time you see an ear of corn at the supermarket...whatever you do...do NOT think of Iron Maiden! :D

Well...ok, but the spirit of what I said is still true...just replace the word corn with grain. Since its the word Maiden used in the song...that's the word I used. They still clearly talk about actual dolls.

Much of what I posted above is directly quoted from that same link you just gave. No worries about being at work. We've got plenty of time to discuss these things.

The Man Who Would Be King That's the only thing I could think of also...and is a good working theory on the story. It just seems a strange decision after having gone through so much preparation. Then again...in a moment of absolute panic...regardless of any preparation, I don't think any of us...

I've read from several sources now which contradict that. A lot of them relate to the Native Americans in their fashioning of dolls from the husks of corn...and calling them corn dolls. However, since Maiden is British, I'll throw out this, pulled from Wikipedia (admittedly not the asbolute best...

I just had a thought that made me laugh pretty good! As Bruce is singing about the corn dolls, and throwing the dead on the funeral pyre....I got this picture of the corn dolls representing the dead souls...and as they were thrown into the fire, a ton of popcorn started to erupt out of the...

The Man Who Would Be King Absolutely right. The first time I heard this song, I was dealing with the surprise that it wasn't what I was expecting, based on the reviews. However, and the song sank in, this section of the song began to hit me hardfer everytime. Both the music and the vocals...
