00:04:13 - The band hadn't recorded the song yet and Deano hadn't written the lyrics, but Harris was adamant about performing it, causing Deano to come up with a few words in a hurry improvising.

00:04:23 - It said,

00:04:24 - I had a rough idea, but made up the words as we went along, live on stage, in front of all those damn people.

00:04:31 - He told us, they're different than how they are on the album.

00:04:35 - The song was performed by Bruce Dickinson on the 7th Sun Tour in 1988.

00:04:54 - Played every pub and club that there is to play around the UK pretty much.

00:04:58 - It was incredible, the success we had, really right from the first album.

00:05:04 - I mean, their first album went Gold in Japan.

00:05:17 - And from then on it just really took off.

00:05:19 - I don't know if you're proudest moment of the year, but I suppose it was...

00:05:22 - I suppose in the early days, I suppose it was just, you know, you know, actually signing a rickshaw deal, you know, and think that we achieved, we could actually now go and make an album.

00:05:31 - Playing the marquee for the first time as well and selling it out was proud because we tried for ages to get a gig there.
