As everyone knows, the number '666' is of special significance to many Iron Maiden fans. It's a number most commonly associated with the Devil, ever since its appearance in chapter 13, verse 18 of the Book of Revelation, that section of the New Testament where everything goes a bit haywire.
"Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast," reads one well-known translation from the original Greek. "For it is the number of a man; and his number is 666."
