Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$Iron Maiden}'s 1983 short video compilation {#Video Pieces} compiles four music videos: {&"Run to the Hills"} and {&"The Number of the Beast"} from 1982's {^The Number of the Beast} and {&"Flight of Icarus"} and {&"The Trooper"} from 1983's {^Piece of Mind}. The British heavy metal quintet was soaring creatively and commercially at this point, and the change of drummers from {$Clive Burr} to {$Nicko McBrain} between these two albums actually improved the band's overall sound. {&"Run to the Hills"} and {&"The Number of the Beast"} both have a dark, effectively grainy quality because the performance footage was shot on a stage. The former includes silly black and white footage from {$Buster Keaton}'s cowboys-and-Indians movies while the latter features a dizzying blend of performance footage (complete with an appearance by famed skeleton-like band mascot Eddie), clips from old black-and-white horror movies, and tongue-in-cheek comedic bits with a dancing couple, "werewolf" and a devil. This was certainly meant to deflate the song's controversial, allegedly satanic lyrics. {&"Flight of Icarus"} was shot largely in a recording studio and even watching vocalist {$Bruce Dickinson} lip-synch is mesmerizing. The concept portions of it feature cloaked, blue-faced {$McBrain} on a cliff overlooking the ocean. These scenes conjure memories of the wizard sequences in the {$Led Zeppelin} film {#The Song Remains the Same}. {&"The Trooper"} is a monumental heavy metal song and the video blends stage footage with battle scenes from an uncredited, old, black-and-white version of {#The Charge of the Light Brigade}. Apparently it's not the 1936 {$Errol Flynn} one. Two respected directors created these four videos. {$David Mallett} directed {&"Run to the Hills,"} {&"The Number of the Beast,"} and {&"The Trooper"} while {$Jim Yukich} helmed {&"Flight of Icarus."} ~ Bret Adams, All Music Guide
