The succesion crisis is very related with the video, because it is about a king who was the 52 in the line for the trone. Great Britain lost his king who was catholic, but thanks to the problems that Britain had with him. The people who were in charge of accomplish the line to trone, decided that the next king must be protestant. There were 51 memebers who weren'r protestant. They found this guy who was a king in Hanover, a little German town; that could be king. They came up and told him he is the new king of Great Britain and that he didn't have to stop being king of Hanover (he was king of two countries). In other words he was a foreign moarch. Family relations in the house of Hanover, weren't good. George I supported the Whigs (wanted to restrict royal power) and distrusted the Tories (traditional monarchy supporters). The whigs had many benefits, so with his desitions Great Britain recovered political stability. After some time, the whigs began to fight between them, and they start to see the Hanovers as pigs. George I and George II began to have tension in their relation, when George I went to a six months trip to Hanover. The custom said that the son should be left as a regent, but George the I left another person in charge. Even if the king's son had limited power he was still the head of the government. He and his wife exploted all the benefits of that. George I was jelous of his son popularity, so when he returned he began a public war relationship with him.
He was a french Rococo painter. He used to paint realistic paintings with full of morality. He was veru criticized beacause of that, but Denis Diderot (a famous critic) supported his work. After he began to paint historic themes, but he satrted to have too many bad critics. He also painted portraits, but the womens' portraits had erotic aspects. Most of the women who painted had a boob out. This is very interesting, because it is like a distinctive. Tthe bad critics were beacause of the erotic side of his portraits).
Here is a pinting where he pinted a guitarist trying to tune his instument. However, he seems to be playing the instrument ad if you see carefully you can see in his face that hi is becoming upset (probably, because it is to difficult to tune the instrumnt while his hand is still in the coat).
Song's name: Alexander the Great Writer: Iron Maiden- Steve Harris Year: 1986
Here is a fragment of an interview made to Steve Harris the writer of the song Alexander the Great, where he talks about it:
"[...] My most ambitious composition is certainly 'Alexander The Great', a story based on true facts. When we started working on the LP, I was immersed in the story of Alexander The Great, a man who had a fantastic and incredible life. I fell in love with him and, quite naturally, I wrote the song and the lyrics, all this within two weeks. I must say that I'm very proud of this track".
This means that Steve wa sinspirer because of the greatness of Alexander's life, so he just wrote the song.
Steve's real name is: Stephen Percy Harris. He was born in England, on march 12 of 1956. He has 57 years. He is the main bassist and compositor of the mheavy metal band, Iron Maiden. He is also a producer. He satrted his musical career in 1971 until now.
Personally I like Iron Maden's music. It is allitle bit hardcore for me, but I like it anyways. I recently discover that I like trash metal. I don't like death metal. becuse it is too hardcore. From all the song that I hav Heard from Iron Maiden, this one is my favorite.
