Iron Maiden Picture Game

[Ariana]

Why is it that I keep thinking of Man U here...

 

[Ariana]

Wait, is it Weekend Warrior?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Wait, is it Weekend Warrior?

It is! Please explain how you came to that realization

 

[Ariana]

Headhunters is a name commonly used by football firms, including Chelsea fans. The first picture also shows fire, which led me to the image of the Devil and the Red Army just added the colour I needed to get to Man United.

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

The devil didn't enter into my reasoning, the association to the football clubs themselves is irrelevant. The association was actually simpler. The Chelsea Headhunters and the Red Army were two rather active hooligan firms in the 70s and 80s. (It should be added that today, all the regular matchgoing fans at United games, home and away, are referred to as the Red Army - not just the hooligans)

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Hmmm ... an angel, a demon, heaven, hell ... something in between? Purgatory?

 

[Perun]

It's Michael, defeating Lucifer, the... Fallen Angel?

 

[Ariana]

It it Michael and you're thinking along the right lines, but that's not the song.

 

[Perun]

Revelations?

 

[Ariana]

Ne. The Fallen Angel was a closer guess. Think of the word "angel".

 

[Perun]

Angel and the Gambler?

 

[Ariana]

No. The fact that this is Michael is important.

 

[Night Prowler]

Chains Of Misery?

 

[Perun]

Age of Innocence?

 

[Ariana]

Way off.

 

[Perun]

Are we talking title or lyrics?

 

[Ariana]

Lyrics.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Hm. I thought the only angel mentioned by name in Maiden lyrics was Gabriel (in Moonchild) - unless you count Azazel, and the interpretation of Azazel as n angel is not the primary one.

 

[Perun]

Michael defeats Satan at the climax of Revelations and tosses him to Hell. In Paradise Lost, he led God's army and wounded Satan, as well aseescorting Adam and Eve from Paradise. Is any of this relevant?
