Talk:The Wicker Man (song)

"Killers" live version
How come that the live version of "Killers" on the limited edition of the "The Wicker Man" release is the same recording as on the "Maiden England" live album from 1988, but claims to be recorded 1999? Or is it only my version of the limited editon? Could someone check this please? 77.10.247.21 (talk) 21:45, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Original research
Doesn't need explaining, but the whole section needs inline citations from reliable sources. LuciferMorgan 01:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Doesn't matter whether you know it's true or not. This is an encyclopaedia, and people unfamiliar with the topic may read it. The section needs inline cites. Perhaps you should familiarise yourself with inline citations, because if everything's so called true in Maiden articles like you reckon, how come I found several mistakes in the main Iron Maiden article? Exactly, say no more. And other Maiden related articles have incorrect info, like the Dave Murray article I corrected earlier which falsely said he was Maiden's original guitarist (he didn't figure in the first line up). Also, maybe you'd like to explain all the fancrufty, BS statements like "influential" in the main article etc.? LuciferMorgan 01:38, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that there should be some citations in place, since Wikipedia puts a lot of importance on that, but... Christ, was it necessary for you to rip on Prodigenous like that? Whatever happened to civil debate on this encyclopedia of ours? 209.129.117.2 06:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This isn't the first time me and Prodigenous has had a disagreement. LuciferMorgan 17:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm... sucks there's basically no proof for this on the internet. It's all correct from what I can see and was definitely a good analysis, the best I've seen on Wikipedia for an individual song. -Tobz1000 08:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there's any other article on a single song with that much detail as how this one had. A knowledgable Iron Maiden fan with too much time on their hands, perhaps? If this article gets the special treatment, so should all the other song articles. 63.240.143.76 17:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The detail it had was original research, and so the article didn't get special treatment. It had nothing on how Maiden wrote the song no nothing. As concerns all Maiden's songs getting special treatment, that'd be great but we'd need much more contributors. LuciferMorgan 14:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Differences between album and radio versions
Aside from the mentioned lyrical deviations, my copy of the song (taken from The Essential Iron Maiden) features a lead guitar part during all three of the choruses, whilst the radio version only features this part in the last chorus.

Derek Riggs artwork for These Colours Don't Run
These Colours Don't Run wasn't released as a single, and AMOLAD's album cover was made by Tim Bradstreet. See the linked article. The citation doesn't support the claim of Derek Riggs having created the artwork for the (fictionally) released These Colours Don't Run single either.
