It is funny how the influences of yesteryear crop up in their songs. There are some very obvious Van der Graaf Generator influences in Empire of the Clouds.
Iron Maiden - Powerslave (the song, not the album, I hardly find time to listen to a whole album lately). Dave, your solos on this one are breathtakingly beautiful, turning a very good song into a great one! (or maybe a great one to a masterpiece for some...)
It works really well slow too Apparently it was always intended to be slow, it was "just" speed up for Appetite to match/fit in with the intensity of the other songs.
But live the fast version is fkin killer! From Ritz ´87 :
