I have never understood the bullshit about Gers's rhythm parts not being in the mix live. Have people never heard this album?

The sunburst strat has become a bit forgotten after he switched back to Jackson in 2008, but a very nice guitar. It also started the Rock in Rio show in 2001, that alone makes it iconic to me!

Did Adrian hear this track before composing "The Writing on the Wall"?
Or more likely, is it is another track that is the inspiration for both songs?
The only connection to Maiden that I can find is that Strömstedt...
It is mentioned in "At the end of the day" book that it was Rio. The rest of the band went to the dressing room without Blaze, while he was standing by the side of the stage waiting for the Number of the Beast intro to kick in.
I found this on youtube:

Many of the songs from The X Factor and Virtual XI were very welcomed by the audience back in 1998:
Just listen to the crowd enthusiastically clapping along to Fortunes of War! Also Sign of the Cross, Man on the Edge, Futureal and The Clansman got a very good reception.
But Don't look to the...
I think Blaze isn't wrong then for saying that there was some monitor issues on The X Factour, as he sounded much better singing with the TV studio's equipment over the studio version, than live with the band.
