I don't care if you're a long time fan or one of the new generation of fans, this song is one of their all time best. It's got great riffs, a hellova guitar solo, and a thirty second interval between the 4:00 and 4:30 minute mark where you can just head bang. The lyrics might be a little bit choppy, but then again I've noticed that's a pattern in a lot of Maiden songs. All in all, 10 out of 10 in my book. Keep on rockin'! \\m//
A new way of psychological warfare: Surround your enemy at night and then, from a safe distance, put this song on on giant speakers, that'll sure unnerve them. Unless they're all Iron Maiden-fans.:D
The begining is a Joke......"Doctor Doctor"-he says-"I don't like white lies"-the other says-"Why not"-the 1st one says-"Fear of The Dark" Nice song!!!!

greatest ? Is it a joke ? i understand than 90's fans love that song, but in heavy metal ears, it's one of the most boring you could hear (and no, i really love Maiden)

i'm not talking about Maiden dumbass, my favorite albums are from Maiden, but the trilogy Fear of the Dark, and the two blaze bayley are just the most awful things they done... fear of the dark is just a stupid song
at least those solos from 04:32 to 05:02 are breathtaking. Besides my favorite albums are piece of mind and powerslave. but this song is my favoirte. Fear of the dark album is great but not their best
for one thing, i'm sincere and not simply nostalgic telling you than the long lenght of songs of Maiden since fear of the dark is really boring me a lot. that just... take all the energy of the song... anyway compared to the very great No Prayer of the Dying, Fear of the Dark is just a weak thing without soul.. afraid to shoot stranger in particular is a really boring song. For my part Piece of Mind and Powerslave are my favorites LP but i really love the mood of Killers... but it's so different
alive... you mean in live... my poor... except for the blaze bailey era i was in all french concert of iron maiden since 1990. And when it's fear of the dark i always enjoy to take a breath and go buy a beer instead of listening
Boring borin boring song but like i said, that allowed me for enough time to get out of the first rank and go drinking a beer looking at all the dumbass jumping on that shit

Have you listened Fear of the dark alive???
you can't say it's boring before you listen this alive, and it's not boring at all.
And it says that is the best song that Bruce did with Maiden in the 90's.
