I'm coming back I will return, and I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn, I have the fire I have the force, I have the power to make my evil take its course... Do those lyrics need any introduction? Is there any Heavy Metal fan all over the world, that have never heard Iron Maiden's "The Number Of The Beast"??
I personally don't think so... As you probably already understood, Heavy Metal legends, Iron Maiden, have released through "Eagle Vision", "The Number Of The Beast" for the "Classic Series" DVDs. Iron Maiden into the heavy metal scene, are international superstars and "The Number Of The Beast" is still considered one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of all time. Into this release you'll see and hear exclusive new and archive performances from Iron Maiden and get unique behind-the-scenes insight into the process of making one of the great metal albums of the time. More than one hour of interviews, with the band, past and current members, taking us back to 1982 and talking about the making of "The Number Of The Beast". There are also so very nice DVD-extras like, extended interviews with the band with their line-up during the recordings of the album, bonus live footage of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" in Dolby Digital 5.1 (taken from the forthcoming "Rock In Rio" DVD). It also includes a brief snippet of Adrian Smith, playing all alone on his electric guitar, the killer riff of "The Number Of The Beast" and "Children of the Damned". Highlights of the DVD are "Run to the Hills", "The Number of the Beast", "The Prisoner" and much more, but don't expect any live shows or any rare material out of this, because it's rather an interview session... It was also nice to see the old drummer, Clive Burr, and I was saddened by his illness (get well as soon as possible, Clive). As a final note, I would recommend you to buy this release, only if you are an die-hard Iron Maiden or New Wave Of British Heavy Metal fan... "Cos in my dreams it's always there, the evil face that twists my mind, and brings me to despair"...
