Talk:The Number of the Beast (song)

message: It had originally said that Bruce Dickinson has not been able to re-create the pitch of the scream in the song live. It has since been changed to say that the scream has not been re-created at that pitch live since the early days. I disagree - listen to any of the recordings of the song played live in the early days, and even then the pitch is not hit - including 'Live after Death' and 'Beast over Hammersmith'. Can we get rid of the "since the early days" suffix? - GurTheFred 17:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It has the same meaning. With or without the "since the early days" suffix the sentence still has the same meaning. BTW, next time use the "+" tab to start a new discussion and not the "Edit this page" tab. — Prodigenous Zee - 02:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The problem with the above is the same problem with interesting little facts scattered all around Wikipedia's articles on songs and bands of the last 75 years - nobody cites sources as they're supposed to.  Whoever can cite a good source on Bruce's pitch is going to be the person who "wins" the debate.  Tempshill (talk) 04:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And I'm not citing a source but I think he hits nearly that high of a pitch at the end of "Aces High".  Tempshill (talk) 19:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Since the early days suffix

message: So, is this still going to be merged into the regular The Number of the Beast (song) article? I think it should be, since it's the same song, and just different versions of the single. Look at The Trooper, there it works too.

replies: text: I would agree. It does look a little lonely by itself. --DrBob 12:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  A re-release of a song (even a great song) doesn't really need a separate article of its own (featuring much of the images etc.) --Legis (talk - contributions) 18:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Personally I'd like it a lot if someone can cite a source for the cost of the unfortunate video for this song.  Tempshill (talk) 04:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :The Number of the Beast (song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "IRL":
From The Number of the Beast (album): 
From The Final Frontier: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 13:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
