OK then (will anybody read this?)… Iron Maiden A great collection of songs (some even written by Iron Maiden members themselves!), powerful, driven performances, and a raw, cutting sound. The only thing that stops this from being a great album for me though is that the songs, mostly great in...

There's a social media thing of "What would 14 year-old you say to adult you?". I reckon 14 year-old Bruce would say "Fucking hell, you do that, and that, and that, AND THAT?!"

@harrisdevot Your English is far far better than my French, or any other language!

It wasn't meant to be uncharitable, I apologise! Your English is so good that I didn't realise that it isn't your native language. I thought you had just mistyped!

My youngest daughter had a pain-au-chocolat for breakfast. It had no information regarding recording dates.

If you can't make the 1nd, then the 2st is the best thing, other than the 3th or the 4rd ;)

Well, 600km or no 600km, tell them to get a bloody move on. It's been four years already!

The Prisoner is the second song in the Maiden album canon to start with "The", which is 'specific'. It is outclassed in that regard two tracks later by The Number of The Beast. As you point out, it is also a B-side to The Clairvoyant. Maybe @RTC is wrong and I am right after all?...

Sorry for the nudge, but has anyone got anything to report? Any more Paris sightings since the French Open? No-one has sat next to Nicko for two hours on the Eurostar? Any hope of an album by Christmas? (Actually, I know the answer to that last one...).

Shh, that's the Powerslave II artwork. Comes with free toilet roll. It's the "more real for you than us" thing Bruce talked about at Sonisphere.

I'll get the ball rolling: The Prisoner? "Specific criteria" = "The" in the title? After The Ides of March, The Prisoner was the second track to have "The" in the title. Two tracks later, "The Number of the Beast" has "the" twice, therefore outclasses The Prisoner. No idea about "cahoots with...

The murder took place at the dinner table. The victim said his improvised last words to the men beside him: No Prayer for the Dying to the priest and Heaven Can Wait to the murderer. This was followed by a Flash of the Blade at 2 Minutes to Midnight. The police have extracted a confession from...

Ah, I see! Ties in nicely with the whole Maiden 77 thread!

What do you mean about Hooks in You? Wasn't that a Smith/Dickinson (based on hooks in the ceiling of a house Bruce was looking at buying iirc)? Or was someone else involved? It's surely not the first song without Steve's songwriting involvement?

If he wrote a covering note, signed and dated, or signed and dated the cassette, then posted it but never opened it when he received it back.... Then the package would be date-stamped by the Royal Mail and the whole thing would be fairly solid proof that he owned the recording on the date it was...

"Cannot be proven"? It's a bit of Maiden history. It was definitely in Kerrang or Metal Hammer at the time as well...

Public Enema Number One?

It's on setlist.fm, but I'm not sure it's accurate. The way I remember it, it was the last night of the UK leg of Bruce's Tattooed Millionaire tour. Janick had been announced as H's replacement. I was at the gig, and after the last encore (Black Night?) the house lights stayed off. As people...

He played onstage with Maiden after it had been announced that he would join, but before he recorded anything with them. Once only.

#1 isn't Tailgunner.
