2 minutes to midnight performed by iron maiden ()
i HAVE to contribute something by these old workhorses of power metal, and it might as well be my favorite maiden track. this song is typical of mid-80s excess... big riffs, big drums, big voice alternately screeching and wailing, and, of course, questionable lyrics. i may be new to the whole iron maiden mystique, but seeing them perform this song live confirmed what countless long-haired trench-coated pentagram-teenagers have always known - maiden RULES! |
