A
documentary from the Classic Albums series about Iron Maiden's
masterpiece; "The Number of the Beast". You can now watch the full
feature below.
Originally
released on March 29th in 1982, The Number of the Beast is
the 3rd album by Iron Maiden – and the first to include
vocalist Bruce Dickinson. It`s also the last album with drummer Clive
Burr who later was replaced by Nicko McBrain. Well, actually the switched
between Maiden and French metallers Trust.
According
to several interviews with Bruce Dickinson, he was heavily involved
in the writing process of several of the album's songs, mentioning in
particular the tracks "Children of the Damned", "The
Prisoner" and "Run to the Hills".
Due
to his previous band, Samson`s , ongoing contractual problems,
Dickinson couldn't legally be part of any of the record's
song-writing, having
to give, what he calls, a "moral contribution", i.e. having
an influence on particular tracks without giving enough creative
input to earn a writing credit.
