Episode #93 - Wasted Years

This week, we delve into the live version of Iron Maiden's
"Wasted Years" that appears on Night Demon's newly released
compilation album, Year of the Demon.  The guys reflect on
how they came to be familiar with Iron Maiden during their
childhood years and how Maiden became an inspiration to each of
them and to Night Demon as a whole. They talk about the mantra
"What would Maiden do?" You will hear why Night Demon chose
"Wasted Years" as a cover song, and specifically how they relate
to it lyrically.  We also explore the history of "Wasted
Years" in the Night Demon set, from humble beginnings at a dive
bar in Miami to one of the grandest true metal stages in the
world in Germany.  Night Demon also explain the omission of
this recording from the Live Darkness album, and the subsequent
decision to include it as the b-side to the "Vysteria" single in
2020. You will learn why Night Demon will not record a studio
version of the song.
