Moonchild vs Killers and Flash of the Blade vs Prowler were tough for me
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group C)

ooooh... intriguingly close battle between TAatG and The Unbeliever.

I might tally this round by tonight. Hopefully they don't end up in a tie. LOL.
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group C)

That close battle amazes me e nor mous ly.

I wonder when these Unbeliever voters (unbelievers! ;) ) have played it for the last time.
Such a strong and original song, amazing really. I guess some people can't stand its relatively complex nature.
I find everything on it better than TAATG:

- The mid section is hard to beat.
- The solos (a really, really cool pair of back to back solos) give me the shivers everytime I hear them.
- Blaze (check how he gives it all in the chorus).
- Probably even the lyrics as well.

In this match I am not even going to complain over TTATG's repetitiveness.
Apart from that, The Unbeliever is simply more exciting.
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group C)

Well, I think the midpiece of The Unbeliever is the only really great part of the song. The instrumental break which introduces the chorus is also good. But compared to TAATG, I agree that Blaze's delivery is also better. The lyrics are also more interesting.
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group C)

I also think The Unbeliever's chorus is way better, plus I highly value the enriching acoustic guitars.
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group D)

Several big songs in this group. Last three pairs were a pain to choose from. My picks:

Phantom of the Opera
Transylvania
Lord of Light
Revelations
Flight of Icarus
Die With Your Boots On
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group D)

Phantom Of The Opera
Transylvania
Lord Of Light
Powerslave
The Trooper
Die With Your Boots On.

Toughest so far...  :S
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group D)

A Powerslave meets The Trooper at the opera, they will duel for the right to be Lord of Transylvania.

This.
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group D)

Might this be the first time that I am 100% happy with the results of a round?

Praise the Beast!  :yey:
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group D)

Phantom Of The Opera
Transylvania
Purgatory
Powerslave
The Trooper
The Duellists (feels like a betrayal against Die With Your Boots on, it just so happens that The Duellists is exactly 1 ranking above DWYBO)

The older song in every case, except for The Trooper, which is a whole 2 tracks younger than FoI.

Crap, right now it doesn't seem that way anymore. Revelations has overtaken Powerslave (something which is beyond me).

w00t! Revelations is an amazing track. Lyrically and musically lush compared to the slightly overrated Powerslave.

Phantom of the Opera
Face in the Sand
Lord of Light
Revelations
Flight of Icarus

Seems it might happen indeed.
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group D)

Revelations is an amazing track and  my fave off POM. Unfortunately the only other track I like better then it out of those 12 is powerslave :( )
 
Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group D)

The Legacy (ACCIDENTALLY, I wanted to vote for POTO, of course)
Transylvania
Lord of Light
Powerslave
The Trooper
Die With Your Boots On
