1: “A Tyranny Of Souls” is about Macbeth. Macbeth became king of Scotland due to a murder, TMWWBK is implied to have lost his crown due to murder. Inverted clue.

2: The Rolling Stones album Their Satanic Majesties Request featured an album cover that seemed like an obvious attempt to emulate The Beatles’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, only it didn’t receive much praise back then and hasn’t waged all that well all these years later. “Beast Of Burden” is a song by the Stones and appears as a line in TMWWBK.

3: The whale shark in the movie is named Destiny (no good to run away...).

4: ...but TMWWBK seems to be trying to run away from his problems, and realizing it’s for nought.

5: I separated the wrong guesses into two sections. The first one was labeled “The Last Of These”. The last song in this section was “The Talisman”. It was a reference to the fact that the song comes off of the same album as TT and you should stick to TFF guesses for the rest of the game.

6: The song is about a killer, but Bruce is on vocals, not Paul (he released an album called Murder One in the ‘90s).

7: If you’d only just gone looking for song titles...

8: Dio also had a song called “The Man Who Would Be King”.

9: The Alps play an integral role in TSoM. Mountains play a big role in TMWWBK.

10: The death that he caused haunts him wherever he goes.

11: He seems to be an endless wanderer with revelations that have come too late to stop him from killing someone.

12: Reference to The Jungle Book, whose author (Rudyard Kipling) wrote a short story called “The Man Who Would Be King”.

13: Another reference to the above, since a man, a bear, and a cat feature as main characters in TJB.

14: Rather obvious. TMWWBK is also one of Maiden’s deepest cuts, and it seems a lot of people forgot about it just as I warned them not to.

15: Another “Beast Of Burden” reference. The opening line is often misunderstood as, “I’ll never leave your pizza burnin’.”

16: What happens before the ship sinks? “Penance of life will fall unto him.”

17: “His reflection of the beauty ‘round him...”

18: “Hoping that he could be saved...”

19: TMWWBK is a very lonely man now, is he not? He’s also “running from his wildest thoughts...”

20: It’s Track 9 on TFF.

The rest are self explanatory. Maybe they were a bit esoteric, but I thought there was enough here to have ended it a while ago. Oh well.
