Great tune. It was part of the Maiden England Tour's setlist Headbanger

A very rare selection.

And the pre-chorus, Good Lord, the pre-chorus ! Bowdown

I'm actually a bit nostalgic about `Invaders', Scott! Probably almost 20 years ago I guy I worked at the time with lent me that album, and even though back then I couldn't stand it (I came to love Maiden much later on), I still vividly recall hearing `Invaders', so that technically was my first every IM song! Always takes me back to that job, when it's not making me thinking of raiding villages, etc!

^^^Thumbs Up

I know it by heart


Longboats have been sighted and the evidence or war has begun
many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun
call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives
judgement day has come around...

`Number of the Beast' is one my least favourite Maiden albums (still good though!), but I have to agree with Scott here, this track always makes me smile and it's really snappy and kicks butt!

"MARAUDING!"

"PILLAGING!"

i like live version of Hallowed, but i couldn't decide between Run to the Hills or the title track, but i chose the latter out of the fact that its the first iron maiden song i ever heard

I'm afraid I've only heard this album on it's cover version by Dream Theater... however, I go with Hallowed be thy name, which I really loved.

Yes, Hallowed Be Thy Name is probably the best track, but for the album versions, I really prefer Acacia.

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Hallowed Be Thy Name, easily. Not just my favourite song on NOTB, but my favourite Maiden song, period.

What a great record this is.
