      @xristoforosstefatos7249 7 лет назад +7

      First of all, you know NOTHING about history. So please bitch, shut up, read some books about the ''history'' of Vardaska, and don't make pointless propaganda. Maiden are not that naive to just make such an epic song about Alexander the Great, the Great Greek King.

      @NikosReegas 7 лет назад +5

      Jimmy Savile There's a reason his country is called F.Y.R.O.M and not "Macedonia".
      Makedonia is the northern part of Greece and Macedonians the Hellenic Tribe who was leaving in the area for thousands of years,identifying themselves as Hellenes.Just like the Athenians did,theThebans did,the Corinthians did etc.

      S0larus What a joke. Maiden has always been the better band, lyrics, song structure, stage performance, longevity in their skills. Metallica couldn't over preform Maidens worst album with their best, let alone one of Maidens better tracks vs. Met' s new, bland album.
