Then I'd rather burn in hell. If God doesn't like me the way he made me, then that proves that even God can make mistakes. Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/27/09 According to most reliable sources "The Number of The Beast" was basically inspired by a dream that Steve Harris had after watching the movie "Damien: Omen II". At the same time the song is so reminiscent of Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown" that I can't help but think it was inspired by that also. After searching the web I found other's who also mentioned "Young Goodman Brown", so I guess I'm not alone. Actually, for years after I first heard the song I honestly thought it was simply a heavy metal interpretation of "Young Goodman Brown". I really thought they were just putting the story into musical form. Maybe Steve Harris, either knowingly or unknowingly, had "Young Goodman Brown" in the back of his mind while writting the song. However, most sources indicate that at least the initial inspiration for the song was a nightmare Steve Harris had after watching "Damien: Omen II". Even wikipedia has this entry for the meaning of the song: "the song was inspired by a nightmare bassist Steve Harris had, triggered by watching the film Damien: Omen II late at night. While he was quite scared of the Satanic images he saw in his nightmare, he also felt them amusing, and after that, he obtained the idea for the song, and also for the title of the album." In any case, the song kicks ass and was written and performed by one of the best musical acts of all time. Shared Space | Reviewer: nutty noah | 9/25/09 Ok...it says 666 in the song, it mentions the beast, big deal. This song played in werk today, from my iPod on random, and a guy over reacted, he turned on a radio loudly to drown it out, he mumbled something about The Shadows and said this is meant to be a shared space. I asked did he ever listen to te lyrics...and guess what....you got he hadn't. My point is, the whole universe is a shared space, and I'll not have anyone censor it. This song is clearly about a dream and even if you disagree about that, Armageddon supposed to be is pre-destined so therefore singing or hearng about it will not hasten or delay the end of ends. iron maiden staight out of hell | Reviewer: timjim | 9/25/09 Notice in the second to last pharagraph it says "666 the number of the beast. 666 the one for you and me. It's inviting you to take the mark of the beast which I believe is just around the corner. I spent 13 years listening to rock music and a couple of the last listening to that dark medel/hard rock and it almost destroyed my life. If you read the lyrics of those metal artists from the 70s and 80s the don't make sense that is because they are written in what is called witches language. Hotel california was a hotel on california street that was converted into the church of satan and the eagles were basicaly given an invitation to join. Stair way to heaven dosent make a bit of sence to most people. people try to guess. but in the song it says that the piper is calling you to join him. If you look in Ezekiel 28:13 it says that pipes were built in lusifer(satan)so its pretty clear who they were talking about. Most people will just laugh at what I am saying just like I used too and the reason why is because it is so addicting. I heard a peorson talk who used to be in whichcraft before he became a christian and he said that you used to be able to tell a which by the look in her eye. but now he said you cant because of all the people that listen to rock music.If you look at all the rockers they have a look of anger and rebelion in there eyes. Today they no longer need to use whiches language they openly blaspheme Christ. People are blinded and think that you can do almost anything and still make it to heaven. the bible says that narrow is the way that leads to eternal life and few be that enter. I belive it is because they are not willing to give up the ways of the flesh. I know when I listend to rock music I had thoughts of anger, murder, rebelion,lust and more. thankfuly I came to Jesus Christ before it was to late. I have a challenge for you instead of thinking im nut's do some research for yourself you will find the awful truth. Just a dream. just a song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/19/09 You, know if you like this song great.. its awesome.. not my favorite by them.. but up there.. I believe what the band meant when asked what this song is about.. a .. wait for it..... a.. here it comes.... A DREAM... yea a dudes dreaming.. and its messed with his mind.. So everybody on your immature stupid rants. really get help. and shut up.. Im a christian and if something is truly offensive , yea i'll go on the attack,, but this song is only offensive if you take it that way.. just like a lot of things.. It seems some christians can't stand to have anyone else say satan or devil in any form cuz its evil or wrong if they do it. then these guys speak out and make all us other christians look like nutjobs. And hey you non christian.. same thing.. everytime you see a chance to dis a christian you jump all over it. enough shutup already .. you dont wanna believe. ignore us like we ignore you.. believe in your nothing or whatever and burn away or whatever.. go to sites that promotes arguing, doing it over this song is dumb. really realy dumb.. christians wanna keep even devil worshipers from going to hell so they "feel" they gotta cruise these sights and "help" save them. Non-believers feel they gotta insult the shit outta believers cuz.. pfft for whatever reason,, its funny,, they're bored. whatever.. now god bless and stfu to believers and stupid non-believers (<--- lol cheap shot i know, pfft oh well) alike.. :) Iron Maiden is good, not evil | Reviewer: Venometal | 9/19/09 Many of Maiden's songs give insights in our current society. It's the strictly religious who (have) let themselves be subjected to the church, something that is only built-up as an instrument for power. It's a good thing that the catholic church doesn't have the power anymore like it had in the Middle Ages, or all of your lives would never have been so free. People who believe in Satan, it's their right but they're making theirselves scared for no reason. the shit!!! | Reviewer: Erick Gonzalez | 9/11/09 this song is the shit... some people might take this song the wrong way. but they're just dumb to realize theres nothing wrong with it. just listen to the words, put it all together, and then you'll know what the song is really about. and if you think im on satan's side for just listening to a song like this, and you are writing a negative review about this song, then ask your self this question. what the fuck are you doing listening to iron maiden in the first place? these guyz fukin rock!!! THIS ONE IS FOR SATAN | Reviewer: walker embry | 9/10/09 for all you fucking pricks who consider anything with 666 in it as "Satanic", stick a sock in your mouth, because I'm tired of listening to you whine and bitch because you think its bad. if your a "true christian", you shouldn't even be looking or listening to maiden, you can't handle it, maidens the shit, THE BEST, if you don't like what I'm saying then i DARE YOU TO DO SOMETHING about it. this isn't the shit your parents listened to, ha ha ha thats for sure. you fuckin christians can go shove a godsmack album up your ass for all i care. i love you satan, this is 4u Christians would never listen to this song. | Reviewer: peter | 9/7/09 A true Christian. One that is truly in Christ would never listen to a song like this. I would be ashamed to call myself a Christian and listen to music like this. Iron Maiden is a Satanic inspired group. 1 John 3:7 He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. 9No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. shut up | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/25/09 I'm christian, but i still appreciate this song, know why? its about something a guy encountered while I assume traveling somewhere. He just happened to come upon a satanic group performing rituals...amirite? Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
