How many bands take an epic poem and turn it into a kickass song? Not too many. Iron Maiden might be one of the few, if not the only, band who can do it with a level of grace and theatrics that really do the poem justice. The creaky boat sounds, the ominous breakdown, the light rigging swaying side to side, everything makes it feel like you’re really on a boat. Captained by heavy metal.

Also Bruce has some kickass bangs in the video.
