SUMMARY
Iron Maiden's song "To Tame a Land" was originally intended to be titled "Dune," inspired by Frank Herbert's novel. However, the band was denied permission to use the title as Herbert expressed his disapproval of rock music, particularly heavy rock bands like Iron Maiden. This information is documented in Mick Wall's biography, "Iron Maiden: Run to the Hills," published in 2004.
