Iron Maiden are already backwards.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'm going to guess that the opening lines are about Mikey Dread, who apparently Scotland with his records and had never seen snow before.

Minus 15 degrees?

Based off of Cool Under Heat and Do It Now, it is safe to say that the last verse is always the trickiest.
