Iron Maiden Picture Game

[Perun]

 

[Ariana]

Only the Good Die Young.

 

[Perun]

Good thinking, but no.

 

[Stardust]

Fear Is The Key?

 

[The Flash]

Fear is the Key?

Stardust beat me to it.

 

[Perun]

Yep.

 

[Stardust]

Up for grabs.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

OK, I'll make another one.

 

[Eric Wright]

The Torah details the exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt into a new homeland, so "Sanctuary"?

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Look for the Truth?

 

[Cornfed Hick]

Fear Is The Key?

Obviously others got the connection -- I didn't. How does one get from a picture of Freddie Mercury to "Fear Is The Key"?

 

[Crimson Idol]

Fear is the Key is about Aids. There's specifically a line "Nobody cares till someone famous dies" that was about Freddie, IIRC, as it was written just after his death.

I think that's right, at least.

 

[Cornfed Hick]

Ah, got it. Obviously not as familiar with the lyrics from the "lesser" Bruce albums... Thx.

Re Eddie's picture, I'll guess "The Alchemist" -- "I had the knowledge of the scrolls"

 

[Eric Wright]

Never would have known the connection. Then again, I rarely listen to FOTD anyways.

 

[Night Prowler]

You guys should start reading Iron Maiden Commentary

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

@Eric Wright, @Black Abyss Babe, @Cornfed Hick: Your guesses are all wrong.

 

[Night Prowler]

Childhood's End?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Childhood's End?

Indeed! The picture is of a Jewish boy during his Bar Mitzvah - the Jewish ritual marking the transition from child to adult.

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Hm. I know, Captain, that you've done this work before - i.e. Edge of Darkness? Not many captains in the Maiden discography.
