Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Clue explanations from last round. The song was Flight of Icarus, and the winner was Mega. Congratulations Mega.

Clue #1 [and 2, as my count was off later on] Are images of a palace and prison, inspired by part of the Icarus myth: "Icarus's father Daedalus, a very talented Athenian craftsman, built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete near his palace at Knossos to imprison the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster born of his wife and the Cretan bull. Minos imprisoned Daedalus himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos's daughter, Ariadne, a clew[2] (or ball of string) in order to help Theseus, the enemy of Minos, to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur."

Clue #3 Listen and see


Was the song Flame Thrower, by Judas Priest. Eddie is using a flame thrower on the Flight of Icarus, single cover. Bruce uses two flame throws during the song on the most recent tour.

Clue #4 Sun and Sea

This is a reference to Icarus' wings being burned by the sun and him drowning in the sea.

Clue #5 Wear a pair of these on a sunny day:

Wear these to protect your eyes (and your wings) from the sun.
