Bands shouldn't do new albums if they don't feel like so.

Gerris for the win.

Exactly the point. As I said it wasn't a success, it wasn't popular, it wasn't a single that they've not been playing since decades (like when they unearthed Flight of Icarus), it wasn't the album's big piece that somehow failed to make its way into the setlist (like Alexander). There simply is...

Problem with OTGDY is that it's not an old success of theirs (like Flight of Icarus) and it's not an "elephant-in-the-room absent" (like Alexander). Only reason I can see to justify its inclusion in a setlist would have been playing SSOASS in its entirety on Maiden England Tour.

Could it be a Charvel bridge? Like the one Van Halen mounted on the Frankenstrat for the cover of the first album.
