Music Video of the Day: The Prisoner by Iron Maiden (1982, directed by ????)


This is a classic Iron Maiden song that, as far as I know, has never gotten an official music video.  The live performance will have to do.

The dialogue at the start of the song was, of course, sampled from the cult television series of the same name starring Patrick McGoohan.  According to Iron Maiden’s manager, McGoohan had never heard of Iron Maiden but he still gave them permission to use the sample in the song after he was told that they were a “rock band.”

Enjoy!

  1. When switching Sirius channels in the car these are the bands that take precedence over all others (in order):
    1. Mötley Crüe
    2. Megadeth
    3. Iron Maiden
