@ZombieBite1991 The line is "Nail that Fokker, kill that Sun". It is a reference to shooting down German Fokker airplanes as well as Japaneese Zeros, also called "Suns" because of the Japaneese rising sun flag and/or the red "sun" on the side of their warplanes.
okay my set list(not including final frontier) for the ultimate maiden concert: wrathchild i'm not a prisoner 22 acacia avenue power slave(the song) r.o.t.ancient mar. somewhere in time(the song) stranger in a strange land 7th son of a seventh son(the song) only the good die young tailgunner fear of the dark(the song) the clansman brave new world(the song) brighter than a thousand suns longest day the number of the beast9the song.
Bruce is pilot. Maiden's Run To the Hills is about the same thing truth. Death. UP THE IRONS .
.....The ones who went up there and died and killed without thinking but did so we should survive.. In the most masticated decimating push button which ever walked the earth. Used so everyone now could exist. Alice in Chains sings a song Called The Man in The Box... The Tail Gunner was...
My granpa was a tail gunner. He flew 8 missions over germany. Got shot down. Parachuted onto a farm. The farmer held him up with a shotgun until the german army took him away. Interogated. Name rank serial #. Thats all he would tell them.
Yup, it also spoke about how dogfighting at the time was an extremely 'in your face' affair. Though air-to-air radar did exist, it was for nightfighters to find their target, be able to get close enough (read very close) and blast off with some very powerful armament to get them down.

Actually, what's funny, is it's about anal sex. It's REALLY thickly veiled because you can't really get away with writing stuff about stuff like that in a popular metal band. Read a few books on 'em and you'll figure it out.
it's not live listen to tailgunner on real live-dead one...song shreds bruces voice....aces high tailgunner and caught somewhere in time one of hardest things for bruce to sing...
This is the way I saw this video back in 1990 on MTV. Enough with 'is it live.' The foootage is live. Is the audio? Probably not. Who cares. Lots of videos were done in this fashion back then.
The audio's not live, they just chose to release the video with a live overdub for some reason. I have no idea why, it's extremely annoying. They have it on the videos for Stranger In A Strange Land, The Evil That Men Do, The Clairvoyant, Lord Of The Flies, Futureal and The Angel And The Gambler.
you can hear the crowd at the beginning, it's live, and also at 1:27 you hear it, and until 2 mins you can hear the back vocals that are not like the cd. the audio IS live.
Okay, I took a listen to the studio version again and realised that you're right, it's slightly different. But it sounds extremely similar to the original version, and works perfectly with the original audio too. I have a video uploaded with it synced to the studio version, and it works just fine.
Yeah, I just took a listen to the two again, and realized they actually are the same. The only thing different is the live overdub, the audio sounds just the same.
Devido ao fato de muitos vídeos estarem em baixa qualidade de vídeo e áudio, eu estarei re-enviando todos os video-clipes do maiden. Se você tem algum em especial em mente, e não tiver aqui, é só me pedir. ;)
i like this song because it totally kicks ass all day!
