Ok, the legendary classic. I'm going to give it a 7. Why? Because i heard it like a million times in million live versions. When you hear three same riffs a million times, the enthusiasm for the song drops. Yes it's brilliant moment live, i've jumped around and ripped off my own vocal cords at chorus, however i also behaved like that when they played "Iron Maiden" - and you can check that topic to see what kind of score i gave to that song. I'm bit sick and tired of this track. But there is no chance that it'll ever get lower than 7 out of 10 in my book, it's an excellent heavy metal classic, ruined by overplaying.
9... one of those great and yes i voted 8 but im more liberal nowadays. and i recognise how great this song is (so i bumped it 1 place )
10/10 An iconic Maiden track which condenses many of their trademarks into four minutes. I've always liked their history songs which encourage you to dig deeper and find out more. Two great solos with the highlight for me being Adrian's repeated licks from 2:17 on. Those quick bends are awesome! Like a lot of the other "overplayed" songs, I haven't got tired of this one.
Thats pretty bad. I fell in love with this one on the first listen. The first time heard it on The Best of the Beast I was hooked and listened to it at least 15 times in a row! I hold this song responsible for me falling in love with this band. 10.
This is among the first Maiden songs that really caught me. The song is absolutely iconic and a live staple, and for good reason. Excellent solos, a very literally galloping bass, the dueling double (And now triple) axe attack, a powerful performance from Bruce, and simple but thrilling lyrics. This song takes your mind's eye right into the Charge of the Light Brigade. How could it be anything but 10/10?
