Totally not on purpose -- it's always loaded for me. It's a preacher riding on a motorcycle in the sunlight in front of a church. Moot point now, though, because...
Correct!
Clue #1:
A reference to the "Son Of A Gun" lyric, "Holy was the preacher, riding on his rig of steel in the rising sun".
Clue #2:
Clue #3:
A reference to the "Son Of A Gun" lyric, "But a man with a smile who took a pride in a job well done".
Clue #4: The first three clues actually point toward a Bruce Dickinson solo song that has multiple connections to the mystery Iron Maiden song - As noted above, these were references to Bruce Dickinson's "Son Of A Gun" from Tattooed Millionaire. This song was co-written by Bruce and Janick, and the guitar part played under the referenced lyrics was lifted almost verbatim and reused in "Wasting Love", which was also cowritten by Bruce and Janick two years later.
Clue #5: The Dickinson solo song referenced by the first three clues was not released as a single, but the mystery Iron Maiden song was released as a single - "Son Of A Gun" was not released as a single, while "Wasting Love" was the third single from Fear Of The Dark.
Clue #6: The mystery song is the #2 most played song from its studio album on Spotify - This was actually mentioned a while back to some folks' surprise. "Wasting Love" is the second most played song from Fear Of The Dark on Spotify, with only the title track being played more often.
Clue #7: The Dickinson solo song referenced by the first three clues has the exact same songwriting team as the mystery Maiden song - As mentioned above, both "Son Of A Gun" and "Wasting Love" were co-written by Bruce and Janick.
Your turn, @Vaenyr!
