It was a B-side on 'Run To The Hills (Live)', which was released as a single around the same time as Live After Death. It is available on the 1995 CD reissue of that album, which also includes live versions of 'Sanctuary' and 'Murders In The Rue Morgue'.

Twenty years!

Your right hand is obviously much better than mine! My metal playing needs a lot of work. Which Maiden riffs do you find harder? As far as rock guitar goes, you may be right, but a fair few jazz guitarists were tapping on electric guitars from the 1950s onward. Check this out.

It's clearly Bruce; have a listen to the link. Please forgive my lame attempt at humour. I assumed you guys would know straight away what I was referring to.

I think the single hardest Maiden riff for guitar may be the opening one in 'Wasted Years'; any tips would be appreciated. Beyond the obvious and essential one beginning with 'p'. Steve Hackett is a legend, but he was not the first to tap. Here's Roy Smeck tapping on a ukelele in the 1930s...

7/10 I enjoy Maiden's instrumental playing a lot, but this track somehow seems a little forced; it feels like it needs some singing on it to provide context. If they'd had more time maybe bits of it could have been used in other songs, where they might have worked better. This seems like ideas...

8/10 I'm not fond of the chorus at all, and I'm not sure whether it was necessary to do another song about The Prisoner, but I think everything else about this tune rocks. The guitar intro is outrageous, especially the cheeky squealie at 0:11. I also like the sleazy chord riffs at 2:58. This...

8/10 The instrumental section is the clear highlight here. I could listen to Maiden play like this for hours and hours. The amount of thought that they put into some of their best work is constantly impressive. Forostar, if you read what is inside the spoiler tags, please do not kill me...

8/10 I don't think of this one as filler at all. Simple but effective intro riff, chugging verses and a melodic chorus. They all work for me, and that intricate instrumental section is tremendous.

Great news! Thanks for the heads up.

9/10 This is one of the first Maiden songs I really went for, and although they play maybe a little too often, it's still a favourite. The lyrics are among Maiden's best, and I was interested to find out abou tthe Doomsday clock as I'd never heard of it before. Many people don't realise that...

10/10 'Powerslave' took a little while to grow on me for some reason, but it's now solidly placed in the upper tier of my Maiden rankings. One reason I love it is the unusual scale used in the verse riff, which I believe is called the double harmonic major scale. The riff doesn't use all the...

Re: Aces High 9/10 It's a classic, containing lots of great riffs and amazing vocals from Bruce. I especially love the harmonies during the intro. The lyrics are also strong and the tune just motors along with so much energy. I think it would be really tough to pull this one off at the end of...

10/10 No hesitation. What an adventurous thing to do, to dignify the world of rock music with some quality Litter-A-Chure and treat it with the respect it deserves. Coleridge would have absolutely loved it. He would also be pleased that Maiden fans are among the few people who can quote the...

That too!

9/10 Great tune. Really sinister vocals form Paul, and I love the crazy harmonics on the verse riff.

7/10 This is a strong song, but it's one that I do get sick of hearing. I think Maiden play it a lot because it's easy.

9/10 Another really strong song from this album. The instrumental sections are outstanding especially Steve's bass playing. There are a lot of nines on Piece of Mind to my ears that don't quite make it to a perfect ten, and this is one of the stronger ones along with 'Revelations'. The lyrics...

6/10 Pretty average and poppy for Maiden. You get the sense that they were coasting a bit on this one. Still, it's well played you'd expect and is by no means a disaster.
