Interesting facts and trivia about Vlad the Impaler - Live at King Power Stadium. By Songfacts®.

This song was released as a free download from Kasabian's official website between March 31 and April 3, 2009.

The song pays tribute to the late Dark Knight actor Heath Ledger through the line "Joker, see you on the other side." Vocalist Tom Meighan explained to The Sun May 22, 2009: "When Heath Ledger died, Serge had just written Vlad The Impaler so he added that line to pay respect." Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno added: "He'd just finished this amazing film and his life was over. I identified with him. I know so many people who get off their heads and then can't sleep so they have a sleeping pill. I thought 'That could have been anyone I know. It's just such a waste of a great man's life."

Pizzorno told the New Musical Express January 17, 2009: "The timing is strange and the vocals are in and out because it's a rant. I wanted that Beastie Boys, Clash feel, giving Tom a song to sing where he can rant, because that's when he's at his most genius."
