"I was with 'Arry [Steve Harris], and we were talking about the songs I was going to play. He said ‘Surprise me’. I replied that I could play Alexander the Great, and he: ‘YOU WHAT?’. I asked, ‘What do you mean?', because I know that when Arry says so it means you said bullshit. ‘You should know that there is an unwritten rule on all Maiden songs, which says you don't play any Maiden songs until you perform it with your fucking band!’ And I was like, 'Okay, okay, you're right... Then we have to play Alexander the Great!" He then continued:
"There's Bruce doing his one man shows [...] and they asked him when we're going to play Alexander. He tried to deflect, talking about this and that [...]. He finally gave up and said we could play it one day. There is half of the band ready to play it. I think we can play it during the Senjutsu Tour. But don't take my word for it, it's just what I think. Also because after telling Steve I could play it [with Titanium Tart] he said like, ‘Mmm, okay, we can't get over it by these Titanium Tarts.’
