Iron Maiden at the Sydney Entertainment Centre

Iron Maiden in their heavy metal across Oz alongside an amazing show which held at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.

Triple M's Becko was there to witness the metal madness. After the show he ranted, "Iron Maiden, what can you say?? Old school heavy metal at its best".

"Opening the show with an amazing animation warm-up for their opening track, Final Frontier the gods went off with a bang. In between fetching beers for my rocker mate who was my plus 1, I enjoyed a lesson in heavy metal, and looking around me, the old school fans of Iron Maiden were… very happy with it – great mullets too!

In a special treat for all you Maiden fans out there, Becko managed to get backstage and he brought his camera with him.

He continue, "This video was taken outside [drummer] Nicko’s [McBrain] dressing room. I wonder if he gets a roadie or a groupie to ‘warm up’ the drum kit… hmmmmm."

Iron Maiden song Fear of the Dark - Video N Lyrics

Iron Maiden song Fear of the Dark - lyrics

I am the man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park

When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's
always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's
always there

Have you run your fingers down
the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared
to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's
watching you

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's
someone there

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's
always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's
always there
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's
always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's
always there

When I'm walking a dark road
I am the man who walks alone
