The Evil That Men Do was released as the second single from Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. The single debuted at number six in the UK charts and quickly rose to number five. The title of the song is taken from Marcus Antonius’s speech while addressing the crowd of Romans after Caesar’s murder (Act 3, scene 2, “The Forum”) in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. Bruce Dickinson may sometimes repeat this before playing the song, but in reverse (as he did in Rock in Rio). However, the poetic lyrics of the song are unrelated to this. The guitar solo in The Evil That Men Do is played by Adrian Smith and can count as one of his finest works. For the B-side the band re-recorded an older songs with Burce Dickinson on vocals. The guitar solo in Prowler ’88 is played by Dave Murray.
