Re: GAME: Best Iron Maiden album song that was NEVER played live - Round 14 - #7
I'm sorry, but that long instrumental section of The Duellists is simply amazing. The only downside of the song is the "whoa-oh, fight for the honor" tripe. But those 4 minutes in the middle are some of Maiden's...

I will get in on the love for The Duellists. Easily the best song of what's left. Come on you Irons!My votes are:
Isle of Avalon, Thin Line, Alex
You know what else was a big improvement over NPFTD and FOTD? Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding. They are also a big improvement over the "X albums". Why? Mr. Adrian Smith!
Re: GAME: Best Iron Maiden album song that was NEVER played live - Round 10
Thin Line is about 3 minutes too long, TMWWBK is about 8 minutes and 28 seconds too long and the Alchemist is worse than both. Those are my 3 picks. This round was very easy.
Mason used to play for the St. Louis Blues. A few years ago the goalie for the Blues was Roman Turek, who also had Eddie on his mask. What's with Blues goalies and Maiden?

Now that the tour is over and there are no more spoilers, I'd like to point all of you to this study by the University of California at San Diego proving that spoilers DO NOT indeed spoil the enjoyment (in their study) of a story. Their studies show it is the actual reading of the story (whether...

I think Nomad and the Duellists will stick around a long while too. I think both are better than Alex. I would be shocked if Avalon, Starblind and Alex were not the top 3 though.
They seem to have no issue playing The Trooper in Russia. Of course the song is all about killing some Russians, but in the end the Russians do kill our beloved narrator.
Re: Rush Survivor: Top ten #6
I love Vital Signs. Every time I hear that song I remember the video, that actually got played on MTV pretty frequently, with Neil Peart wearing a Montreal Expos cap. I had the same cap.

Because Maiden fans love Samuel Taylor Coleridge? He wrote poems that became songs won two survivors (Rime and Xanadu)!
