Die With Your Boots On
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Die With Your Boots On" is the fourth track on the album Piece of Mind by British Heavy Metal band, Iron Maiden. It was written by guitarist Adrian Smith, vocalist Bruce Dickinson and bassist Steve Harris. The song's main theme is war. It is one of the very few songs in which Smith and Harris's voices can be heard singing separately from Dickinson's. They can be heard during the chorus, after each time Dickinson sings the line, "if you're gonna die...", Smith and Harris repeat the line after him.
There is a song of the same name by Toby Keith
Sonata Arctica covered this song for their Orientation EP. In their version of the song all vocals are done by their lead vocalist, Tony Kakko. There is however still a small vocal contribution to the song by the other members, they sing the Wooowooohooo part together.
