Fair use rationale for Image:Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.jpg

Image:Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

This album is considered progressive metal

edit

I see this album referred to as progressive metal by a whole bunch of sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.129.150.112 (talk) 23:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Album Art

About the womb that Eddie's holding: is that the same womb referred to in 2 Minutes To Midnight? Because if it is, I will be very amused (but not too surprised). Generic Marine (talk) 11:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Prog Metal?

edit

This album is definitely a prog metal album, it is considered that by many sources all over the internet, I mean just listen to it! >_> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.112.186.8 (talk) 19:59, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Your reason for adding falls under WP:NOR. The topic has been discussed on the main Iron Maiden page and the overwhelming consensus was that the term progressive metal did not apply to any of the band's albums. Aussie Ausborn (talk) 21:24, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I can not find where this discussion took place, link?--68.112.186.8 (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Tales of Alvin Maker ?

edit

This album in often considered as inspired by the novel by Orson Scott Card. Does anybody have a reliable source confirming ou infirming that ? StephenTitusG (talk) 17:33, 5 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fans killed during concert

edit

Hey, I wanted to find out if there's any confirmation that during the support tour for this album, two Maiden fans were killed (crushed) in one of the concerts (in England)? The only source I have for this ever happening was the Iron Maiden history section on the CD release of the album where it was mentioned (it's part of the interactive content on the CD release). I believe this is the only time this has happened in a Maiden concert (as amazing as it sounds) so I think it deserves mention, if a source could be found online that is. -TheHande (talk) 10:38, 1 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Infinite Dreams

edit

This was released as a single, but it was a live single from Maiden England, so does it really belong here? It appears misleading as if the studio version was released. 91.188.53.90 (talk) 22:32, 11 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

"First appearence of progressive rock influences"

edit

Unless you are tone deaf, there was definitely some prog rock in "Phantom of the Opera", "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and most of the Somewhere in Time album.108.81.33.59 (talk) 22:52, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

OK, let's just ignore a statement from Steve Harris and just go with what you say. Better yet, let's not bother with any citations at all and just ask what you think, shall we?--Nerdtrap (talk) 23:01, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
OK, I also think the sky is blue and grass is green. Anything else? Why do we need citations for something that's obvious? 108.81.33.59 (talk) 23:05, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
It's clearly disputable since a citation disagrees with it. It's very simple- if you want to amend the statement then find a reliable source.--Nerdtrap (talk) 23:14, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Except the citation doesn't say this is the first time the band used progressive elements. It simply talks about it being a concept album and that it is "Maiden at their proggiest". It never says this kind of thing is being introduced for the first time. I agree that the statement in the intro, as it is, is misleading.--Leigh Burne (talk) 19:44, 26 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Was there any reason for the songs being in the wrong order?

edit

I'm surprised it isn't mentioned in the article, since this is the only concept album I've ever heard with the track order scrambled. Of course the first and last songs are in the right order, but track 5 is the second song (since the first is about BEFORE he's born and track 5 is about his actual birth). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.50.30.124 (talk) 01:53, 11 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
