People thing "Oe'r the hills and far away" is traditional, but it was written by Roger Waters about that inflatable pig.
Iron Maiden payed tribute to Waters' loss of his inflatable pig with the song Run to the Hills.
Maiden started out as a Pink Floyd tribute band.
A credit card company wanted them to re-record the song in the 1990’s and change the lyrics to “your own personal visa”
But Depeche Mode were already in talks with MasterCard... but the deal fell through
Everything counts in large amounts was the phrase MasterCard wanted.
Maiden became popular when they evolved into a Pink Floyd tribute band. They started out as a Motown cover band.
Rutger Gunnarsson (from ABBA) taught Steve Harris to play bass
Harris still plays in an Abba tribute band alongside Dave Grohl and Lars Ulrich.
People also misunderstand the name. It's because they like ironing, much like Geddy likes drying clothes so much he had to do it on tour for the band and roadies. Wet Wet Wet is all about the washing part.
I saw them play. Who knew Steve Harris has a closet full of sparkly disco outfits?

this....
The earth's magnetic field is having other effects. The drift of the magnetic pole over time causes an increasing weakness in tone of the D and G strings of many bass guitars - and it's getting worse. Experts suggest that this will finally result in the order of string gauges having to be reversed when stringing basses, with a 130 G string becoming standard.
