Fear of the Dark - Live '01

This song is about a paranoid man who constantly fears that there's someone or something about to spring out at him from the dark as a result of watching horror films and studying the occult. Themes like this appear on much of Maiden's cover art (see: "Sanctuary," "Women in Uniform," "Iron Maiden," "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter" etc.).

The album, which many consider a vast improvement over Maiden's previous album, No Prayer For the Dying, debuted on the UK charts at #1.

Three tracks off the album were released as singles. "Be Quick or Be Dead" charted highest, at #2.
