Fair use rationale for Image:Killswitch engage holy diver.jpg[edit]

Image:Killswitch engage holy diver.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Covers[edit]

Once upon a time, I was in Hawai'i and me and my Uncle were listening to this fantastic metal compilation album he put together. There was one song that he said was "Holy Diver" covered by Iron Maiden. Anyone know if he was right about this?

I strongly doubt it. Practically every cover IM has recorded with any quality was featured on Best of the B Sides: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_of_the_%27B%27_Sides DFS (talk) 09:15, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of 'Holy Diver' Lyrics[edit]

WTF?!? A little help please... Austinmayor (talk) 21:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone even know what the hell this song is about?

Hope I can help. I remmeber a reception that the lyrics about the beginning of time and the danger of time. Diver in this reception means the jumper. From nothing to jump to time and space. German: Erstbeweger) This is the main thing of the lyrics. All the rest is about the risks that could happen to the "Diver". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.84.204.92 (talk) 22:44, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possible reference[edit]

Clutch sing the line "Now tell me, Holy Diver, where you at?" in their song 'Cypress Grove'. Always makes me think of this song. In the official lyrics page, the Holy Diver is capitalised
