I find that if things aren’t clicking for the guessers after clue #10 it’s probably a good idea to start actively reducing the search space, unless you’re aiming for a Dieselthon…

Clue #6 : Mylène Farmer, a french pop singer, released an album called 'Anamorphosée' on october 17th 1995, 15 days of the same year after 'The X Factor' has been released.

Clue #7 : This verse of "Alexander The Great" pointed to the verse "Marching on as if they should" and my clues almost indicated each The Aftermath's verses line by line, as they worked side by side... Plus this verse of "Alexander The Great" also pointed to the suffering and exhaustment of soldiers during the WW1.

Marching on, marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Clue #8 : Not only it pointed to the fact that was a Blaze song, but also to the verse "Once a ploughman hitches his team."

Clue #9 : This clue was, once again, a link to the verse "Each moment's like a year."

“Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.” (Mother Teresa)

Clue #10 : The title of this Black Sabbath's song contained the word "after", pointed to the title of Maiden's song "The Aftermath".

Clue #11 : This clue was pointing to the verse "Questions that come again."

Clue #12 : This Russian dog pointed to the verse "Comrades dead or dying lie", because "comrades" was a word used by Soviets.

Clue #14 : Pythagoras was a mathematician. This clue pointed to the 2nd part of the 2nd word in "The Aftermath". Nowadays, we still learn Pythagoras' theorem in schools, centuries after his teachings.

Clue #15 : These words by Bruce pointed to the verse "Where boys that were our soldiers bled."

Good night from Iron Maiden, from Eddie and from the booooyyyyyss...

Clue #16 : Three little pigs always like to dive in mud... So did the soldiers during WW1 who have been obliged to do so. It also points to the verse "In The Mud And Rain."

Clue #17 : This song is talking about war and pigs (those in the clue #16). So do "The Aftermath". Plus, some lyrics between the both songs are similar : "In the fields of futile war" (The Aftermath) = "In the fields the bodies burning" (War Pigs), they both question the reason of wars => "Who will take the blame, Why did they make a war, Questions that come again." (The Aftermath) = "Politicians hide themselves away, They only started the war, Why should they go out to fight?, They leave that role to the poor" (War Pigs).
And, finally, "War Pigs" is also using in its lyrics the title of one Maiden b-side's song called "Judgment Day", which has been released with the single of "Man On The Edge", a song that also appears on The X Factor along with "The Aftermath".

Incorrect guesses : Iron Maiden /// Shirley The Harlot /// The Talisman /// Blood On Shirley's Hands /// Be Quick Or Be Dead /// Hallowed Be Thy Name /// When To Worlds Collide /// The Clairvoyant /// Isle Of Avalon /// The Alchemist /// The Red And The Blackberries /// The Reincarnation Benjamin Baguette /// Revelations /// The Trooper /// Lost In This Lost World /// Can I Play With My Toys ? /// Speed Of Light /// Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter /// From Here To Eternity /// Fear is the Key /// Caught Somewhere in Time /// The Angel And The Gambler /// Drifter /// Death Or Glory /// Weekend Warrior /// Empire Of The Clouds /// Wildest Dreams /// Tears Of A Clown /// Die With Your Boots On /// Dream Of Mirrors /// The Legacy /// Infinite Dreams /// Moonchild /// Powerslave /// Mother Of Mercy /// The Trooper /// Déja Vu /// The Prisoner /// Cross-Eyed Mary /// Hell On Earth /// Flash Of The Blade /// Dance Of Death /// Brighter Than A Thousand Suns /// Alexander The Great /// Wasted Years /// Running Free /// Killers /// Green Jelly /// Invaders /// Afraid To Shoot Strangers /// Losfer Words /// Childhood's End /// 2 Minutes To Midnight /// Stranger In A Strange Land
