Background
The single was only released outside of the UK. Additional tracks on the single include covers from UFO and The Who. These tracks were later released in the UK on CD1 of the "Virus" single.
Iron Maiden frequently performed this song live during their Dance of Death tour from 2003–2004,[2] making it one of only five Bayley era songs to remain in live set lists after his departure (the others being "Man on the Edge", "Sign of the Cross", "Futureal", and "The Clansman"). One such performance of this song is included on Iron Maiden's 2005 live album "Death on the Road".[3]
The guitar solo is played by Janick Gers.
