These double negations are damn too complicated 
. But yes, the list is quite interesting. He has retained five of his songs, only 2 he has not contributed to, and a few ones that seem to be a bit forgotten.

For me, he is an integral part to their sound. He is too "shy" on the record, as if he didn't dare ; I guess it was his first experience in the studio. But this album doesn't reflect what they have become. I just hope that the live album will capture the gret feel of their live shows.

Ok, that is a frigging KILLER playlist. Steve, just make this the setlist for next year please...

Hopefully, he's been inspired to shake up the setlist next year, and include some of these tracks.
Massively unlikely, but one can dream.

Yup I'd like to hear them play anythig from that list except for 2MTM, which is coincidentally the most likely to appear.
That is interesting. So he does rate Alexander, and he was sincere in his praise to Bruce for Empire.https://www.facebook.com/ironmaiden/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED&fref=nf

I wouldn't say that this Alexander pick made my heart skip a beat, but there's something about it. I guess I haven't read Steve saying anything about that song since it came out (1986). (Didn't read that in 1986, it's just the oldest and one and only interview I know (or remember) in which he says something about it).
Also..... when did the band ever say anything about a song that was never played live, a while after it was released? And now he does it twice in the same occasion? What?!
Maybe only when it is live related (one can keep dreaming).

Now if only Steve would start putting together the setlists after the best sounding songs then we're golden

Did various band members (definitely Steve & Bruce if I recall) not comment on The Iron Maidens playing AtG when they saw them live?

Yes and they always say it's because Adrian forgot the solo. But we all know that the mighty H doesn't forget or forgive (unless he wants to).

Maybe.... Even Steve? Well, then it was live related at least. 
And yeah indeed, ATG is the obvious one. The ATG comments mostly come as reactions to the ever ongoing question. Now, he started himself. And Judgement... Judgement of Heaven. Hadn't thought Maiden would ever mention it. They surprised me.

When they talked about The Iron Maidens playing AtG, I'm not sure if they were particularly prompted. The interview must be out there somewhere, but I think they just started talking about it in the context of The Iron Maidens playing stuff that Maiden themselves had never played live.

Well...
But what is it like when Iron Maiden watch the all female tribute act the Iron Maidens? Bruce Dickinson sounds like he still isn’t sure how to react. Speaking with Classic Rock, the high-flying frontman, talked about seeing female versions of himself and the rest of the band onstage, saying, “I’ve seen the Iron Maidens in Mexico. We all went. We were watching them and I said to Steve Harris ‘This is a really weird question, but looking at them, would you f–k yourself?’ And he went, ‘I don’t know, but we’ve all been thinking it.’ It was very, very weird."

Perhaps it is songs that work especially well with their name-bearing product. But even allowing for that, it's not what you might think of as an overly marketing-led selection from Maiden's back catalogue. Whatever his reasoning, he doesn't appear to have gone for an easier-listening selection to appeal for newer fans.
