Most of the previous songs that I've done have been guessed after 1 or 2 tries, so maybe I'm getting better at making good clues.

Keep the guesses going:

Clue 1: you suffer before the guitar solo

Clue 2: the song's chorus and key signature contradict each other

Clue 3:
1682310752050-png.25833


Clue 4: Kasparov and Karpov

Clue 5: not the seventh son of a seventh son... but close

Clue 6: the writing credit on this song is reasonably common in the band's history, and it's one of the earliest instances of this particular songwriter combination getting credited

Clue 7: Cliff Ronning on the 2002 Nashville Predators

Clue 8: this is one of two songs on the studio album that hasn't been played live

Already guessed: Red and the Black, Stranger In A Strange Land, The Angel and the Gambler, The Clairvoyant, The Apparition, Isle Of Avalon, Die With Your Boots On, When Two Worlds Collide, Number of the Beast, Starblind, Stratego, Revelations, The Longest Day, Days Of Future Past, The Duellists, The Legacy, Alexander the Great, Mother Russia, The Evil That Men Do, Moonchild, Only the Good Die Young, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Blood on the Worlds Hands, Flight of Icarus, The Apparition
 
In case the answer is not "Back in the village" (submitted by Azas):

As of clue #8, logically, the remaining possibilities are
  1. Quest for Fire
  2. Sun and Steel
  3. Flash of the Blade
  4. The Duellists
  5. Back in the Village
  6. Déjà-Vu
  7. Alexander The Great
  8. The Prophecy
  9. Only The Good Die Young
  10. The Nomad
  11. and The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
Clue #6 eliminates 1, 3, 4, 7 as well as 10 and 11 (and 8 to some extent)
4, 7 and 9 have already been guessed unsuccessfully.

I'd say "Sun and Steel" then, but the 167 games between Kasparov and Karpov also make "Déjà Vu" a strong contender for being the right answer (though I can't make sense of clue #1 in case the latter song is concerned). ;)
