Great song!

Oh yes. Killers is tied with the selftitled for my favorite Maiden album.

Just the opposite for me. Those are their two worst albums IMO. Then again - I'm not a huge fan of Paul Di Anno's vox.

Over the years I've warmed to those albums to the point where I like them. But they will always be Iron Maiden's weakest albums to me. Paul Di Anno was just so limited compared to what Bruce had to offer.

Killers is the best Paul album and one of my favoirte Maiden albums overall. Murders was the very first non-Bruce songs I heard and is one of my favorite songs.

When Maiden came along....it was a breath of much needed fresh air.

This tune isn't my favorite on "Killers" but it is one hell of a catchy tune.

I like Di'Anno's vocals a lot because they fit the music. But all in all I just like the songs and lyrics better on the first two albums than on pretty much every record with Bruce. All killer, no filler, which can't be said about Number of the Beast (Gangland, Total Eclipse, Invaders), Piece of Mind (Quest for Fire, Sun and Steel), and Powerslave (Back in the Village) if you ask me. In the end it all boils down to taste though.

A great song from my favorite Maiden album.

Excellent song indeed. I always felt Killers was the weaker of the Di'anno albums though. The self titled debut is pure perfection.
