![]() ![]() ![]() Īccording to Nicko McBrain commenting the single in 'Listen With Nicko Part VI' (as part of The First Ten Years series), the members of Iron Maiden were friends with members of Beckett. On the original release, it was titled 'A Rainbow's Gold'. The song was written by Terry Slesser and Kenny Mountain, respectively vocalist and guitarist of Beckett. The first B-side is a cover of British progressive rock band Beckett's 'Rainbow's Gold', which was featured on their self-titled album released in 1974. The first guitar solo is played by Dave Murray, followed by a guitar solo played by Adrian Smith. In 1984, when the song was recorded, the clock was showing three minutes to midnight. In fact, at the time of the crisis, the clock was showing seven minutes to midnight. Despite popular belief, the song does not reference Cuban missile crisis, nor did the Doomsday Clock note any change related to it. This occurred when the United States and Soviet Union tested H-bombs within nine months of one another. In September 1953 the clock reached 23:58, the closest it ever got to midnight. The song has references to the Doomsday Clock, the symbolic clock used by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. '2 Minutes To Midnight' was written by Adrian Smith and Bruce Dickinson. ![]()
