Relating to Bruce's comments about new fans joining the fan base having heard one of the newer albums, then exploring the back catalogue, it relates to me....even at the age of 39. So I discovered Iron Maiden when I was about 9 years old. To be fair, it was the album art that spiked my interest. I bought 'Number Of The Beast' on cassette tape when I was 9 and was immediately hooked to the last track; Hallowed Be Thy Name. Back in the day you could go to the Library and 'borrow'' cassette tapes for little money. I got on my bike and travelled to the local library and leased every Iron Maiden album they had. What followed , at such an influential age, was an epiphany which went on to shape my life. I picked up a guitar when I was 12 years old because of Maiden. I've taken my son, twice, to Maiden concerts because he absolutely loves them. He's now 20 years old. The cycle continues, and don't get me started on the beer....although if I had to choose, it would be the I.P.A.
I can’t believe how quickly 50 minutes flew by listening to this group of people. Makes me miss the times when such high quality could still be seen on TV. Insightful, thoughtful; delivered in a delightfully entertaining manner. Thank you so much!
This is fascinating! I initially began watching this because, like many others, I'm a long-time Iron Maiden fan. I'm hooked now because the conversation is wonderfully engaging - academic yet accessible, and highly witty and entertaining. I've been an out and proud agnostic my entire adult life, but I was brought up Christian fundamentalist in the American south in the 80s. (Yes, I remember the ridiculousness that was the Satanic Panic, and I was warned that listening to Maiden, Sabbath, and Priest would send me to straight to hell!) At any rate, this whole discussion is really interesting... everything from the appeal of metal to us nonconformists, to looking at eschatology from a historical and psychological perspective. Excellent podcast, gentlemen!
Love this! Is it possible for you guys to make a list of the litterature, music and movies you are refering to? - It would be cool with a Psycho-Schizo Espresso curriculum ;)
Bad decoding. 666 is not the number of the devil, it is the number of the beast. The beasts in revelation and Daniel are Empires. The seven head beast is the new world Order. One fo the heads will be injured....then it will come back to decieve the masses. Those who will take the mark of the mark will suffer the plagues mentionned in Revelation. The devil is the serpent and the big dragon, not the beast.
Absolutely brilliant!….just saw An evening with Bruce Dickinson in Tampa which was very special indeed!!!!!…thank you for doing these podcasts guys-love the topics and conversations. I hope you continue this for a long time!😎👍🤘
The beast that John is talking about is the Pontifex Maximus, which is the name of the high priest from Babylon that stretches from Babylon to Pergamum to the Caesars to the Pope in Rome which still use that title. 666 is derived from the sun worship in Babylon. The used the numeric matrix or magic squares that had numbers that equaled 666 which they believed protected them from the gods in their astrology with the sun god as the head deity of all the other lower gods. This is why the Roman church changed the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.
What? I have to wait 2 weeks for the second part? Whatever will I do until then? Hahaha! Great stuff, everyone. Been looking forward to this, since the first tease. Guess I’ll just sit around this computer here for the next episode. Hmmm… What does this button do? esc
Might be interesting to explore what demons “are” from a psychological and spiritual standpoint - what inhabits the “dark corners of our minds”… There’s a lot of interesting lore about them in many cultures..
I've had dreams that are unequivocally prophetic with lots of details and other people involved that later became reality without me interfering in any way. An open mind and personal experience are key to really understanding the nature of reality and the power of the mind. I am convinced that reality as a whole is product of each individual consciousness projecting thoughts and ideas forward, either consciously or subconsciously, and we all create this 3D world as a kind of consensual "stage" were we all live out our own personal stories. Quantum physics explains in technical terms what mystics have been talking about for ages.
It is correct that the Number of the Beast speaks to a first century audience and alludes to Caesar Nero, and that so many push their own eschatological viewpoint onto the Biblical text. One thing in the second episode that was asked: "what is the meaning of the mark of the beast?" I have understood this (and much of Revelation) to be symbolic/apocalyptic imagery, with of course a more salient truth in front of us. Therefore, the mark of the beast intends to be aligned with your belief and behavior (forehead & hand). Also, it seems to be a parody of the mark of the Lamb found in Rev 22:4. Not surprisingly, because we see throughout Scripture that the devil twists God's words (like a twisting serpent).
I learned in newspaper journalism 20 years ago that schizophrenia charities and organisations do not like the term being used in manners that could be considered frivolous. I personally don't care one iota. But I am curious as to whether I just copped a Schizophrenia Foundation person on a bad day or whether you've also received any complaints!
I've recently started to think Satan/Devil/evil was the same character that the Jesus portrayed but in a human form. Rebel against tyranny, speak up for those that can't and generally provide for those unable until they can.
I always thought, that the idea of Satan, in Judaism came during the Babylonian exile, when the Hebrews were finally freed by the Persians. The Hebrews learned about the Persian religion of zorastism, zorasterism was dualistic and it also had the concept of a war in heaven against the sons of light and the sons of darkness. Before that time the Hebrews didn't have that dualistic concept, they got it from the Persians.
Ηallo, I am a theologian, priest in Serbian Orthodox Church and lifetime fan of IM. This is the summery of my book "Eschatology vs. Apocalyptika": "The book represents a theological synthesis of the Orthodox eschatology, liturgical and eucharistic theology, ecclesiology , hermeneutics and sectarianism with a tendency to have educational character which may be practically applicable in the parishes, schools, colleges or in the missionary field. Through examples and shocking events that are paradigmatically stated, in the West as well as in our country, the author wants to achieve the objective and i.e. to alarm the Orthodox intellectual public, focusing on the problems that exist in reality and the prevention / cure which extends through systematically addressed learning about the Church, the Kingdom of God and the liturgy."

i was born in germany 1976.came back to yougoslavia start to be fan iron maiden 1986 t -shirts you cnt find in .only someone who has conections in west an we buy them as sam kind of anger for totalirasam and we have to say that are we diferent and now we all speak inglish fluently,during the war i wear only iron maiden shirts becose they send as message that we undersatand from all sides,iron maiden and brus was our hero in croaatia and in bih and i aalso find in some jacket captured cetnik no prayer for dying
Jesus is coming back soon. He is the Messiah, the Son of God. Bruce needs to talk to Nicko if he wants to find about Jesus.I have met Bruce, at a fencing match, when I was 17. I have seen Maiden many times. Great music and theatrics. Interesting character he is. I own the only Number of the Beast album signed by Clive, RIP great drummer, Adrian Smith, Steve Harris, Dave Murray and Bruce and a very cool friend Derek Riggs the original artist who created Eddie. This is very interesting. Satan is doomed. The beast is the system, the vax. I wish these guys could contact me. I would tell them what is really going on.

great chat and topics, congratulations for the podcast
Cheers..🍷🍷
I enjoyed it really much!
Great podcast! Really interesting subjects and thoughts.
😮 what an episode. Got goose bumps with the meaning of 666. One hour was to short.
The crunch guitar intro to IM's Revelation would have been a great way to kick off this show. Up the Irons........💪😎
Ohh gosh, great podcast!! 👍🏼

Great show, it's intresting that Bruce's tickets go on sell for his tour is on Guy Fawkes day
Ahh, finally my 7-year-study of Theology is useful for someting! 😆
Absolutely brilliant information
Expecially the term of Nero 666.
Which is understandable at the time the book was written.
Supper's Ready, this was cool, subbed, thanks chaps
Excellent first episode 🕉️🤘
Really enjoyed that. Good job, hope this is a long running podcast with you both.
