"We really like that live feel, that spontaneity to each track with the recording process..." *album comes out sounding like Virtual XI*

Now because it means we have the wonderful reunion lineup (well until Nick just left) having a whole range of songs from Dianno, 80's classic Bruce lineup, the Blaze era and the reunion era to do live. I also think Maiden were never better live than they have been in the second Bruce run.

Plus I was complimentary in my opening post saying Harry was a genius songwriter, and can still craft some good songs to this day and how I actually like most of the songs in the poll, and how I would never even put 10/10 brilliant works like Rime, Trooper or Aces in the poll as they are...

I dislike it mostly because as a fan of Blaze I know that its mostly that and Angel which sunk virtual xi from being a decent album with their repetitiveness and weirdness. Harry helped craft two great songs on that album Clansman and Futureal but also sunk it with two of his absolute worst...

Cool! Sometimes I really enjoy watching bassists cover Maiden who don't play Fenders and don't start every note with a power chord like 'Arry (I presume Steve did them on New Frontier). I know that would be more accurate but sometimes I prefer this approach. Cool to see this song

No I asked which is the worst pal

It's just that don't look to middle section that goes on forever. I don't mind the rest

I changed my vote to stranger because I just don't know what Steve was thinking there

It's the audacity to make Angel 10 minutes long when it should have been 3 or 4 tops that gets it the vote for me. The music video edit of 4 minutes is actually okay.

Yeah I thought that too

^ that's quite telling in terms of tempo because songs like CSIT live recently he did perfectly fine with tempo wise. I didn't mind his performance of the faster songs like that at all. They just didn't have all the fills anymore. He kind of played it how he played on Virtual XI. That's not an...

Don't want to dig at him but he's had work done.

That fucking stroke. Poor old Nick, he could have still been touring.

Lovely to see

Well one of the slower more samey songs needs to go for Judgement Day. Don't really mind what. Unbeliever could go.

HOW did this not make the cut? After Sign, MOTE and LOTF the rest of the album, despite some good moments is pretty much all soft intro in E then brooding slow heavy. This song absolutely would have broken up the monotony. It should have replaced Look for the Truth.

Inspired by a comment on the No More Lies song thread. What's the worst Maiden song with just a Steve Harris alone writing credit? Steve Harris in his prime was an unbelievably talented songwriter and that can never be denied. He still can write some good numbers now too. That being said of...

Typical Harris, nothing new..typical chord sequences, typical melodies, typical choruses, typical everything but I gave it an eight out of ten because I do fundamentally like that style and sound of Iron Maiden (when it's good). And I think this is good. I really enjoy the song, the lyrics etc...

What's the MC gesture
