I can't remember exactly when or where, but I read or heard something like "Montsegur was so hard for Bruce to sing live". Maybe they rehearsed the song, and it did not work well. Not sure what happened really...

along with The Book of Souls, my favorite song of their entire catalog. The only stupid reason it hasn't been played live for the last 15 years is that it was not written and released in the 80s. It has many more streams than regularly played Wrathchild; or classics like Powerslave, Rime...

You cannot force or make anybody to like a certain type of music, no matter how old/young they are. I never listened and rarely heard rock/heavy metal until I was 15. That changed the first time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody, which made me a lifetime Queen fan. Even then, I was not into heavy metal...

I love the live version of Coming Home in En Vivo, and Journeyman in Death on the Road.

Murder in the morgue (or whatever the song name is), Wrathchild, and the rest of the Fillers album except the title track, TNOBTB album excluding Hallowed and Children of the Damned (maybe RTTH as well), Piece of Mind album excluding Revelations, Sea of Madness, Stranger in a Strange Land...

with The Book of Souls, Dance of Death, and The Talisman being top 3 IM songs for me; it has to be Gers/Harris.

I wish Maiden would/could surprise us like Metallica does (changing setlists in some venues, 2 different setlists on two nights in a city, S&M concerts, uploading a lot of live and rehearsal videos on YT, "making of" videos.... ). With Steve (mainly) and Rod driving the IM vehicle, I highly...

Childhood's End (that guitar intro and guitar harmonies after the solo...) Fortunes of War/Edge of Darkness/Judgement of Heaven (completely ignored/forgotten gems from the 90s) Nomad (the guitar section in the middle could last forever and I could listen to it forever...) Face In the Sand (great...

Epics Tour 1. Phantom of the Opera 2. Hallowed Be Thy Name 3. Revelations 4. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 5. Fear of the Dark 6. Sign of the Cross 7. The Clansman 8. Dream of Mirrors 9. Nomad 10. Paschendale 11. Dance of Death 12. For the Greater Good of God 13. The Talisman 14. When the Wild...

Always thought this song deserved more attention. One of the highlights of the album and the 90s in general IMO. Great guitar melodies and harmonies. I love the song too much.

Wrathchild (and the rest of the 2nd album, except the title track - which is surprisingly good) TNOTB Stranger in a Strange Land (simply boring, however, I liked the recent live version in FP tour with 3 guitars-largely due to Janick's parts) Infinite Dreams (overrated, mediocre at best) Aces...

Even though almost all my top 15 songs are from the reunion era, for a list that will represent their entire (almost) catalog, I would go with: 1. Phantom of the Opera 2. Hallowed Be Thy Name 3. Revelations 4. Powerslave 5. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 6. Sign of the Cross 7. Blood Brothers 8...

Well said. When they released Senjutsu in 2021, I thought they could release at least 2 more albums until 2030, but now we are discussing if we can get one more, if Steve wants to record, if Dave wants to retire, etc. Assuming they release #18 in 2028, with that pace, album 19 should come in...

Alexander the Great Heaven Can Wait The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner Caught Somewhere in Time Wasted Years Deja Vu Stranger in a Strange Land Sea of Madness

Then, I guess the question is, will Steve Harris agree with you or not...
