Nefud Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Hey guys, did any of you know, that Iron Maiden's (my favourite band) bass guitarist (Steve Harris) wrote a song, called 'To Tame a Land' and it's all about Arrakis and the fremen? It's on the 'Piece of Mind' album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Yep, Iron Maiden is one of the many that has a bit of Dune in their songs. Also I believe Papa Roach talks about don't walk rhythmically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 And I've also heard, that in Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice there's a line, which says: "Walk without rythm and you won't attract the worm" , but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Indeed. I believe these are the words...He is the King of all the landIn the Kingdom of the sandsOf a time tomorrow.He rules the sandworms and the FremenIn the land amongst the starsOf an age tomorrow.He is destined to be a KingHe rules over everythingOn the land called planet Dune.Bodywater is your lifeAnfd without in you would dieOn the desert the planet Dune.Without a stillsuit you would fryOn the sands so hot and dryIn a world called Arrakis.It is a land that's rich in spiceThe sandriders and the 'mice'That they call the 'Muad' Dib'.He is the Kwizatz Haderach.He is born of CaladanAnd will take the Gom Jabbar.He has the power to forseeOr to look into the pastHe is the ruler of the stars.The time will come for himto lay claim his crown,And then the foe yesthey'll be cut down,You'll see he'll be thebest that there's been,Messiah supremetrue leader of men,And when the timefor judgement's at hand,Don't fret he's strongand he'll make a stand,Against evil the firethat spreads through the land,He has the powerto make it all end.Which is pretty accurate to the book.

Nefud Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 I wonder what inspired Steve to write this song...He's always been a VERY good songwriter. He wrote the best Maiden songs ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEfan1983 Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 also a DeathMetal Band called Blind Guardian did one called "Traveler In Time" with there album Tales from the Twilight World""Traveler In Time"The Morning Sun of Dune The Morning Sun of Dune The holy war's waiting forThe morning sun (3x) The morning sun of Dune, there's no tomorrow the apparation of this land and it's dream makes me feel I've seen it before I can taste there's life, everywhere you can find in the desert of my life, I see it again and again And again, again, again, againDark tales has brought the Dijah ( I think they wanted to say Jihad ) like whispering echos in the wind and I'm a million miles from home Traveler in Time knowing that there's no rhyme The morning sun is near first light of dawn is here the morning sun is near again The Fremen sing that their kingdom will come and I'm the leading one battlefields on our crusadefilled with Sardokaurs killing machines crying in raising fear they're hiding Where do we go now?

AlteaDeo Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 What about the european group who called themselves Dune? :)I think they're doing trance or such music... Never known the difference between them all :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Only their name is the same. They have nothing to do with Frank Herbert's Dune. (As much as I know...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Hmmm. I think there may be a sort of connection - not as obvious as Iron Maiden's... "Who wants to live forever" (song title) - Leto II? Things like that? (Or it could just be that those people who have read and enjoyed Dune are the sort of people to make up that sort of name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 they took the name because they liked dune....some (not only one, for sure) of their song title are inspired by dune, still, I never listened to them so.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheo Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 some of the band Dune's videos, especially the early ones, seem a bit inspired by the dune novels. the song "who wants to live forever" however is a cover of an older song from Alphaville.

AlteaDeo Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Who wants to live Forever is a song of Queen too.... (pretty good one actaully :P like much of theirs :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Bullets with butterfly wings. To me, THAT is the theme song to Dune. Jsut listen to the lyrics... "The world is a vampire, sent to drain... despite all my rage I'm still jsut a rat in a cage...Jesus was an only sson..."etc...No matter who much I ahte it, that "I loe you, always forever" really seems to fit the "Opening credits" of messiah, with Kryptonite playing as Paul walks down the hall, slowly going blind to Chani's deathbed, and I will remember you during the Alia/Duncan final scene.Then with Children of Dune "My fathers eyes" always seemed right.And 52 Pegusus for GEOD.I know, I'm strange....

nemafakei Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 I know it's not music, but the other day, I saw a set of cutlery, entitled "Dune". That's... odd, especially since there was no other connection, this one connection seems rather unambiguous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 that's with those weird connexion that we see that there is surelly a conspiracy from the Herbert Limited Partnership to rule over the universe... ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Hmm. I think I heard a song containing Soo-Soo-Sook - by... Bill Collins? Something to that effect. Edit: NaMp has kindly told me that it is in fact Sussudio, by Phil Collins. Ah, well."a conspiracy from the Herbert Limited Partnership to rule over the universe..."No, it is a conspiracy by the Landsraad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
