People, people. We need to get rid of all unnecessary Bruce songs, before we start on the later material. That is why I continue my campaign against Skunkworks before even touching Accident of Birth.

Come on Toltec is meaningless. And personally I don't think Skunkworks is such a bad album. A few songs are excellent there. Tattooed Millionaire is worse for me.Natalie said:

Re: Bruce Dickinson Survivor, series 3: Accident Of Birth round 2 (Sep 1-3)
@SMX, I see that Ghost of Cain is included. That's a b-side from one of the Accident of Birth singles.
Bruce had many b-sides but in the Balls to Picasso era we can find two fantastic b-sides which can be seen as stronger songs than the average Balls to Picasso album track (and imo they belong to the top of his work):
The Breeding House
No Way Out ... To Be Continued
Both are featured on the Tears of the Dragon single.
Can these also be included? If not, shall we then be consequent and leave out all b-sides, thus Cain?
Thanks for your attention.
My votes go to Welcome to the Pit, The Magician and Inertia.

According to All Music Guide, it's on the album:
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:kbfyxqyhldje
That's the site I've always used as a reference, but further research indicates you're right. So I'll take it out of there.
For reference:
I plan to do a round of b-sides etc. after Chemical Wedding (since that's when Bruce's Best Of disc came out). So Cain will come back then.

Re: Bruce Dickinson Survivor, series 3: Accident Of Birth round 2 (Sep 1-3)
It probably was the Japanese bonus track.
Thanks.
Also (some of) the other b-sides? Especially the ones I mentioned are really good, even if they are not on Bruce's best of. Anyway, I think it'd be cool if the two I mentioned would also come back. Thanks for consideration.

Re: Bruce Dickinson Survivor, series 3: Accident Of Birth round 2 (Sep 1-3)
No Way Out ... To Be Continued is on disc 2 of the 2-disc version of Bruce's Best Of.
As to which others will make it:
Shadow once gave me a list of all Bruce's non-album tracks, and I remember it was huge. We're not doing all of them.
I'll probably pick out ten or thereabouts for this Survivor. In fact, I'll likely ask for opinions in a separate thread, around the time we start Chemical Wedding.
The same goes for Metallica cover songs and the Metallica Survivor. We won't do all of them, but we'll do the best ten or so - with a pre-screening thread starting up when we get to ReLoad.
Let me also address the other Survivors, while I'm at it...
Iron Maiden: we won't do B-sides. "Virus" will be included with VXI.
Metallica: "I Disappear" will be included with ReLoad.
Led Zeppelin: "Hey Hey What Can I Do", "Travelling Riverside Blues" and "Baby Come On Home" will be included with Coda.
Megadeth: "99 Ways To Die" will be included with Youthanasia.
Other survivors (Sabbath, Rush, Priest): I know of no significant non-album tracks to worry about.

Re: Bruce Dickinson Survivor, series 3: Accident Of Birth round 2 (Sep 1-3)
No, that is No Way Out.. Continued. It's a very different song.
I am talking about two tracks only. If there will be a selection I think it'd be odd to leave these out. In the first post where I mention these, I gave links to hear them (HQ YouTube). Play them on ten!
Alright, I'll bring it up again when the time comes.
