Well on early releases of Iron Maiden (Outside the UK), the song 'Sanctuary' was included and it was credited to Iron Maiden, so technically that would be it. Then we have 'The Sheriff From Huddersfield' which is also credited to the whole band back then. The last one option would be 'Virus'

Hi, I can only give you some answers as in this case I can not reveal the time or who allowed me to hear them and under what circumstances. Yes, they're still under the control of the band. They could release their demos... Think of what Metallica did. Some of the demos Maiden has are pieces...

Ah easy one. Powerslave, From Fear To Eternity, Best Of The B'Sides and Iron Maiden

You're welcome, mate! The song structures and even the dynamics changed in Holland. As confirmed in an interview, parts that were originally intended for some songs were changed, cut, or added to others. As for Deja-Vu, its final shape came together in Holland. However, since Davey already had...

The song got as far as being pre-recorded by the band (guide vocals, bass, drums, and a bit of guitars), then it was taken to Wisseloord studio and it was polished a bit but during the mixing it was discared because it didn't quite fit the album theme. Also, the song was a bit more bluesy than...

Yeah that rings a bell

The Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace. It was going to have a different title but I'm to lazy at the moment to look which one was going to be

Ross Halfin has a big ego, a big mouth and became a bit hard to work for... Of course, being a famous photographer he also demanded respect and in more than a few occassions the Maiden boys didn't make his job "easy" and he had an exchange of words with them and Rod. However, many of his...

I honestly don't expect them to change that much. As I said in a previous post, Maiden is very traditional and they could have changed their stage shows many years ago and didn´t (yes, yes the Legacy Of The Beast was a slight change but still backdrops and inflatables.. no screens and whatnot)

Being fired is different to leaving in my opinion. Adrian, for example, was also fired although the official story is that he left. As for Rod, even if you don't consider him a member of the band, he is considered by some a member of the band... Eddie is not only a drawing... In any case, if...

Rod — and by extension, the band — know they can’t really compete with Metallica and other major acts in the U.S. these days. The metal market there is just too broad, too competitive, and demands too much. Maiden is a traditional band. Sure, they made a bit more of an effort on the last tour...

It depends on the point of view... Dave Murray didn't left, he was fired. Then you have Rod and Eddie, who are considered by some another member, they haven't left either.

I agree with you, and even himself has recognised that sometimes he hasn't taken the best decisions. He became an almost father figure to the band, and he is (and still is) very old school, the reason why in 1986 he and Andy brought Merck Mercuriadis into the fold (something that did help Maiden...

Well, in part the filming of the documentary did had some budget cuts, so...

Maybe they will... After all, I do not know how they'll be able to show the amount of information they filmed

I just want them to give the honest truth about the whole thing... Not the "Oh! Adrian decided to quit because he thought the band was playing too fast", "The got rid of Blaze because the pressures of the record label"...

I do seem to recall something like that but not entirely sure, however, I do remember is that pictures of the pre-production of the 'Ead were shown in the IM website and looked just awesome! Very detailed... Then they said it was going to cost too much to paint the whole lot and we ended up with...

The crazy thing about the book is that Derek wasn't personally involved at that time... About the giant artwork you mention, Derek did work on that but for one reason or the other the management scrapped the idea and that's why we ended up with the bad collage of Eddies in the inside of the...
