Clue 1: This song's lyrics contain a phrase that is also the name of a successful 80s album by another metal band. This band’s debut album has a track one might think is a homage to Maiden.
Clue 2: The opening track of a record often considered a classic by hard rock/metal fans (yet weaker than the records which preceded and followed it), has a name that will lead you to the Maiden song in question. A person that can be connected to the possible homage to Maiden in clue 1 has a writing credit on this track.

Clue 5: The song has been covered by a band that a member of Maiden has performed with. This band has also been named as an inspiration for at least one of Maiden's records.
Clue 6: (I'll throw in a bonus clue here) None of the guitar players on the Maiden song in question appears in the photo referred to in clue 3. The guitarists who play on the Maiden song in question have a musical link to the singer of the song in clue 2, a link that pre-dates Iron Maiden.
