This topic has been pre-discussed many times. This topic was first open by women in America in 1982. Since then, the topic has become a popular issue. When the album: THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST sold well. But why did it happen ?. And is it really so?.
I want to say in advance that it is not my goal to hurt anyone. Nor do I want to hurt anyone from another country. It's just a question and a topic. I just want to express my opinion. And that is all.
And we may come together for an answer. I'm also a Christian. And I'm not ashamed of it. And Nicko as a drummer is also a Christian. Nicko made his wedding before God. Then he asked if he could stay in the band. Even though he wants to be a Christian. And Nicko was given permission to stay in the band during the discussion.
It follows that there were no problems in the band. Nor was there any dispute between members and with Nicko. As after a friendly discussion they came to the conclusion that they have no problem with it. (and it turned out to be good friends with each other).
This was for information only. But now we go back to the album. Which raised this question.
AP: Why did the album sold so well ?. The answer is easy. They made a change in the band. Bruce came on. And his voice was very great. So if you had that album in old time. And they heard his voice for the first time. So you were out of it ... (Wow, this guy is really great !. I have to tell others to my friends). And that's why the album sold so good. Bruce's voice was better.
The album was doing well in Britain. Except in America. At that time the women and mothers of his children. They forced to burn all the Iron Maiden albums. Because they were afraid and thought that the band is satanic only for the album with the picture. And because of a song: The Number of the Beast.
And then it raised this question. And maybe in full the world. Where the pastors speak of Iron Maiden as if they were a bad group. When you tell them they said it. Then they replied to you: But we didn't mean it that way. Really not ?. Then why do you say the band is ?. And when you ask the pastors, they say to you, But do you see the text?. That's why we think the band is ...
So, what ?...
I don't understand what they wanted to say. They alone not know not to confirm on 100%. Whether or not there is a band...
AP: "Bruce came on. And his voice was very great. And that's why the album sold so good. Bruce's voice was better."
Then the pastors unnecessarily raise repetitive questions endlessly. To which they never got a real answer. I am sorry. But this road goes nowhere. We can then use this question until to endless.
If they walk before the concert and talk about it. OK. That is, in my opinion, all right. I won't stop them.
AP. "If I want to go to the concert I will go. If I don't go. Then it is my decision". No decision from the pastor not have. I don't need permission from a pastor for a concert.
You've seen somewhere outside the church. Staying a fan of Iron Maiden at outside the church. And he said you know what, do not go to church today. Today is a concert of Iron Maiden. You could go there !.
And I believe and hope this thing will never happen. Because we fans of Iron Maiden, we are better and more intelligent. (I personally never come outside front the church to talk about Iron Maiden. I won't forbid anyone go to church. If people go to church. so it is OK).
Yes, I see this the picture on the album. But I'm not blind. However, hell is also found in other songs. For example, Moonchild. Where is the name Lucifer. Then there is the song From Here to Eternity. Even the video clip is made a little so fiery.
The number: THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST appears in the album. Yes, I know what the number is 666. I understand that the pastor has noticed. But that doesn't mean that this band must be satanic.
I listened to all the albums. I've been to the concert at least three times. If I can. So I'll go again. I've never seen a band do some secret ritual. I haven't seen anything like it. I also know that this band will not make never any secret ritual just to call the devil.
I can say Iron Maiden is a normal band. Which today has nothing to do with drugs. It's from a few bands today that have no problems or no bad cases. Show me today which band is so clean of bad things.
There are many bands in the world. Which also have hell or devil in the text. And nobody says anything about those the groups. You know, then we could label everything as satanic. Whether it's film, music, making t-shirts, or other stuff. I understand that the parishioners want to draw attention. But as I said, we could call everything satanic today. Just because the toy looks like a devil?.
We also saw the band answering questions in front of journalists. You've seen the band say before the interview : You know what, wait, I have to light a candle. To ask the devil if I can answer these questions. (No, nothing like this ever happened). The band will never do these stupid things. The band will be normal and responsive to all questions without the devil. So there is evidence that Iron Maiden is not static the band. And I will never think so. I have no reason to think that.
If anyone thinks so. All right. It's his opinion. I understand someone wants to do a discussion. OK. These lyrics appeared on the albums. They're just songs. They were written and released on CD albums. The band now has something to do ?. She must take albums from sale only because of one text of song ?. Not. What is already on sale. You can't just pull it back. What already was sold. Now what ?. Does every fan have to put the album back to the band now ?. And the band must then return the money to all fans around the world ?. This thing would be great nonsense. Because what is already on sale. It can't be undone anymore. And this album was really good.
If it's about me. Although The Number of the Beast is not my favourite song. But it's just a song. Like all other songs. If there is disappointment in the finding. I'm so sorry. But Iron Maide is not and will never be a satanic band. They're just good musicians. The problem is, there's big envy. I'm sorry Iron Maiden has more fans. And the church has little fans. The band is not responsible for it.
