Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

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 3: The location at which an often published photo of Iron Maiden was taken provides a link to the song - both its title and the lyrical content.


Incorrect: Can I Play With Madness, The Legacy, Prowler, The Evil That Men Do

Maybe Earth Wind and Fire are the band from Clue 1?

Im being honest here, I've had some little glimpses of memories about some bands album-titles or song that have links to Iron Maiden.
It was many years ago when I gave some of these kind of little things more notice. Now just have to check and remember what it was..can't just bring it back to my mind.
@Jmaster so even the location was wrong? ok, have to think of other famous Iron Maiden pics then..

Clue One mentions "another metal band". Although "metal bands" come in many, many forms and shapes, I dont' think Earth, Wind and Fire qualifies as one.

Yeah I was just joking, the humour being the idea that Earth, Wind and Fire would have a track that's an homage to Maiden.
