"Fear of the Dark" is a song written by Steve Harris, bass player and main songwriter for Iron Maiden, as the title track to Iron Maiden's 1992 album Fear of the Dark. The song is said to be about Harris' childhood fear of the dark. The single "Fear of the Dark Live" is the 26th single released by the band. This live version of the song (as well as the live version of "Bring Your Daughter...To the Slaughter") is taken from the live album A Real Live One. The single topped at number 5 in the UK charts and has since become a fan favourite and a must-play at all Iron Maiden concerts. The live version of "Hooks in You" was recorded at the Wembley Arena, London, UK on the 17th of December 1990.
Track listing Numbers from the Beast version An all-star version of the song appears on the tribute album Numbers from the Beast, and features Chuck Billy on vocals, Craig Goldy on guitars, Rickie Phillips on bass, and Mikkey Dee on drums. This version follows Harris' original composition, but differs in terms of guitar solos. Billy also departs slightly from the original vocal melody, and also adds a dark edge by persoming the song in a semi-growling way. Credits | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
