THE REINCARNATION OF BENJAMIN BREEG

THE REINCARNATION OF BENJAMIN BREEG
Taken from newest album: A Matter of Life and Death, 2006.
Seems like if you double-click the video, it will go full-screen; Escape to get back here.

It's funny to me that the video has really nothing to do with the song lyrics. If you do a little research on the whole Breeg thing, you will see it's not really about what the video portrays. It seems to me like the video portrays the band, Iron Maiden, and their needs and desires to be #1, or at least to go on, etc. (Which they have done, don't get me wrong).

But the Breeg history is more about some things towards the occult side and way different than what is shown in the video, which means that the video was probably watered-down by either the band themselves or by an outside force. Maybe they did it to be more marketable to the masses.

Nah, I'm not saying conspiracy... just sit down and watch the video.

Great song! But I was

Great song! But I was expecting more from the album. Still a good Iron Maiden album tho, better than Dance of Death but no way better than Brave New World.

Have you ever listened to

Have you ever listened to the albums done by Maiden in the 80's ? I can recommend Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Powerslave, Piece of Mind and The Number of the Beast. Dance of Death, best Maiden album?! Lix, step in! :P

Wow... best Maiden album?

There just isn't ONE best album.

I agree though, I think what Diablo is kind of getting at are the "concept albums" where each song, taken as a whole, tells a wider story. Powerslave had a wonderful ancient Egyptian theme and Seventh Son made us all wonder about immortality and life after death (hey... so THAT's where that came from!).

I think it's awesome, but it's very hard for Maiden to write a story that targets a lot of people all at once. So I believe that's why they purposely DIDN'T do a theme album this time again.
