THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST - IRON MAIDEN
The first song that concerns us is the most listened to by the fan means, with more than 9000 copies, this song has become a icon for moving heavy. Now a small chip on it:
Artist: Iron Maiden
Album: The Number of The Beast
Year: 1982
Country: United Kingdom
Author music / lyrics: Steve Harris
Technique: Steve Harris, founder, leader and bassist of Iron Maiden, was setting trends with its powerful bass, while the solos and riffs of Adrian Smith at the beginning of the track and along it, do recognize that even when not even take 5 seconds. The base provided with battery Clive Burr gave us the feeling of galloping cowboys and their persecution by the Reds.
Voice: What about Bruce Dickinson? Even as his first album with Maiden for those dates showed that a man can make sense if you like what you do. The approach taken adopts its lyrical intonation and marked the mediocrity of the NWOBHM and re-launched a whole genre to stardom. It was a great debut for a good singer with a hell of band.
Lyrics: The letter consists of two parts. In the first we find the feeling of the tribes Indian to be invaded by the white man during the American colonization in its reprise in the second verse are the animals that speak of their struggle against the Reds. It is a point of contrast between the two sides, the two sides to see each other as something to be removed without any good and it gives us to think about the brutality and little need for unjust wars.
Social impact: His music appeared in an age when the world was in uncertainty. The Wall has just fallen and people still did not trust each other. The aftermath of the Vietnam War and the shadow of the Gulf made the people more agitated. What gave strength punk movement also flapped its wings to groups like Maiden broke through with their lyrics cultural and songs on esotericism and fantasy. Today "Run To The Hills" remains the anthem that we sang in bars and gambling dens. I would say that the youth dazzled depressive and gave something to believe. At the time the album was heavily criticized by the Christian right to be considered openly Satanist (even though it only referred to in the album's title track). After overcoming all odds, his music and especially this album, is convirieron a symbol of freedom and culture.

Personal Review: With this song I've done great things, from making love to win football games. It's one of those songs you hear everywhere you go and, though not my favorite, will occupy a special place in my life to be one of the most I've heard.
