    1) Frank herbert
    2) the song “to tame a land” by Iron maiden

    Frank herbert’s book DUNE inspired the song to tame a land. the song was originally to be called Dune

  4. Biki Says:

    1 Frank Herbert author of Dune
    2 “To tame a land” by iron maiden, inspired by Dune

  5. duriel Says:

    1. Frank Herbert (Author of the “Dune” books)
    2. Iron Maiden song: “To tame a land”

    The song by Maiden is inspired by Herbert’s Dune. Initially, they wanted to name it “Dune”, but Herbert refused as he “didnt like rock bands”.

    Anyway, connect is Dune.

    hmmm, and the clue may refer to “Muad’Dib”, the Kangaroo mouse from the Dune world.

  6. Dibyo Says:

    The audio is an Iron Maiden song called ‘To Tame A Land’, which is a tribute to the science fiction work Dune by Frank Herbert (1920-1986), who is the pictured gentleman.

    It was originally meant to be called Dune, but Herbert didn’t allow it.
