My listening knowledge of Maiden is pretty limited, was mostly into Judas Priest and AC/DC growing up. Heard this via @DDS, loved it and wanna hear more!
Churchill gave his famous speech 4 Jun 1940 "We shall never surrender!" http://ow.ly/i/5MZ6K #WW2 #history
Elating. Still great after all these years.
Some Iron Maiden for the middle of the week.

#80sweek On Sept 3rd 1984 IronMaiden released the album "Powerslave" ! Ahh the 80s and their heavy metal. And to be on an Iron Maiden concert and have Aces High played with Churchill's Speech as intro, damn, I had the chance twice, mindblowing. "....We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"
"Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live. Aces high"
