Re: Iron Maiden Survivor: AMOLAD round 6 (Dec 3-5)

What are you thinking? Maiden-written songs like Invasion, Burning Ambition etc or kick-ass covers such as Massacre, Cross-Eyed Mary, or a bit of both?
A bit of both.
Or more accurately: since I still haven't picked the songs, it's more fair to say I'm not excluding either of those categories in advance.

...the IM-written one are usually pretty silly (Mission From 'Arry, Sheriff of Huddersfield), but obviously you know what you're doing.
1. That Girl
2. Massacre
3. Cross-Eyed Mary
4. King of Twilight (although I don't really like Childhood's End)
5. I've Got the Fire
6. Black Bart Blues (if you edit out the annoying "are you guys in a band or something...")
7. Juanita
While I haven't picked the songs yet, I have given it some thought. Some of the songs I'm leaning towards include Sheriff Of Huddersfield, That Girl, Cross-Eyed Mary, I've Got The Fire, Black Bart Blues and Juanita. (King Of Twilight hadn't occurred to me, I'll consider it.) Also Justice Of The Peace and of course Women In Uniform. We can't skip an early single like that one.
AND OBVIOUSLY "REACH OUT", ALL HAIL ADRIAN SMITH
There was some discussion about this back in early October. I'm going to find that bit of the thread and see what we came up with there. I know a couple people had some requests. The problem will be keeping the list down to 10 songs or so. I really don't want a huge non-album round.
I'll try to get everyone's (reasonable) requests in, though - even if it means pushing up to 12 or 13 songs.
I did consider Mission From 'Arry just as a joke ... but I'm afraid of you lunatics and what you might do. I worry that once introduced to the competition, Mission From 'Arry could win the whole shebang!

That being said, I'd expect none of the 10 will touch the top then that remain, although you never know.
I expect the same, but a few could put up a good fight. Some surviving songs like Aces High and Phantom have a lot of people trying to kill them, after all...
