What ho sed de t'ing wid de t'ree bonce...Don't meddle wid t'ings you don't understand (This is what Nicko said at the beginning)
-------
In 1983 Iron Maiden popped a backwards message at the beginning of the song "Still Life" on their album "Piece of Mind". It was in response to them being accused of being Satanists; a very drunk drummer (Nikko McBrain) gave his Idi Amin impression and belched into a microphone; this was duly backmasked and incorporated into the album to excite the Christians!
Obviously a lot of talented effort went into making this video. It's a shame the result is as awful as it is... this is my favorite Maiden song of all time. Video-game footage, regardless of origin, when put into a music video is as wrong as two boys f__kin', period.
Have anyone else noticed the sounds after the last note played? At 4:50 it sounds like someone sayin' "Yeah! That's the fuckin'....." and then some mutterin'. Is that a studio blooper or somethin?
@Lurrbabar - Blooper?? - no they're not idiots - it is probably producer Martin Birch on the talkback mic to the studio floor. I like it!
The reversed Niko recording is his impression of Idi Amin. Former military dictator of Uganda. Bad guy!
"Amin's rule was characterised by human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption and gross economic mismanagement." - Wikipedia
@ThaBukkow Nicko said the first part backwards to make fun of critics who thought maiden was satanic. I think he might have been drunk while saying it too.
@IRONxEWOK i remember the backward masking controversy back in the day--it was eventually discredited by real research, but it sure was a pain in the ass back then 2 listen 2 everyone rant about it
@ThaBukkow - It's even funnier what is said at the end - turn up the volume after the last note ends and you can hear Nicko: " Yeah, that was fucking great!"
@ThaBukkow I thought it was back masking...Back in my junior high days, a friend of mine destroyed his Piece of mind cassette to play the opening backwards...I do not remember what it said.....Something about Christ..If anyone can confirm this, shoot a comment back....Up the Irons from Oklahoma USA....
@0r1onMovies There is also another game of Iron Maidens Final Frontier. Its a game where your in space and you have to retrieve the bands lost gear in space.
92% of teenagers have turned to hip-hop and pop, if ur part of the 8%, copy this message and past it to an other video. DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE!!!
my friend hates this song. she loves maiden, but she hates this song. she's convinced that it's written by skillet. I LOVE THIS SONG THOUGH!!!!!!!!!! up the irons!!!!!

Hello metalheads, emo's, goths, scene, punks.
Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.
1. Don't bash other metal artists, we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together
2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list
If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea
Copy this text in every Metalvideo you watch and we´re getting the power

Great tune! This song and RELEVATIONS really brought me into the Maiden fan club back in 1984.
PIECE has such a different atmosphere than BEAST. It's almost too relaxed-sounding, because they recorded in Nassau, Bahamas.

@ThaBukkow "does anyone know what is said in the beginning?"
Is two quick backwards messages, one after the other. Both are spoken by Nicko in a deep Rasta
accent, not too much even understandable even when played backwards. Well,
the first says "What ho sed de t'ing wid de t'ree bonce", which means "What
ho said the monster with the three heads." The second says "Don't meddle wid
t'ings you don't understand." And of course, the message ends with a belch! :)
