If you want a deep cut, Running Silent Running deep is the one.Or what if... Mother Russia?

I don't know if anyone's already brought this up, but I'm not exactly keen to check over 80 pages to see if anyone did. So...has anyone considered the idea that they could (which means they won't) play all the title tracks in the set and still have room over for other songs? They would likely leave some of them out anyway, like CSiT and SSoaSS.
Honestly, a set consisting of mostly the title tracks from the debut up to Fear sounds killer.

I can't wait for the live debut of Piece of Mind.

Well to be fair that line is in Still Life...

My head canons for the four albums without a title track:
- Still Life for Piece Of Mind, due to the "Peace Of Mind" line (And because the song is bloody awesome).
- Futureal for Virtual XI, due to fitting so well with the theme of the album.
- The Legacy for AMOLAD, due to having read at some point that the album was supposed to be called The Legacy before changing their mind.
TXF is the only one I have no fitting song for.

THAT would be IT. Absolutely, ultimately. Mother Russia = Favourite song from my favourite Maiden album. A dream to come true, really.Or what if... Mother Russia?

I'm sure I read somewhere (here at forums maybe) that Blood on the World's Hands was one of the planned titles before going with The X Factor

This is correct. Steve's said a few times that's what he wanted to call it. In one interview from around the time of release, he said he wanted to call it Bloody World's Hands. Thankfully, they went with The X Factor instead.

Wow, never knew that! I thought X Factor was the working title and it stuck. Steve recently said he likes the song. I guess it's one of the fitting titles from the album.

Blood on the World's Hands was always a song I would have liked to have heard Bruce sing.

As much as I love Mother Russia - I don't see them play it. Those 1990s lyrics seem to have kinda fallen out of time, and especially in todays context it'd be more than naive to stage that very song. Its statement would not only sound hollow, but even cynic on a 2024's screen (or 2025). If they ever would have wanted to play it, then they could (and should) have done so pre-Russian invasion on Ukraine. Even if Maiden never were a political band: I expect them to have at least THAT amount of sensitivity to NOT play Mother Russia particularly in times like these & right now.
Anyway, still my fave Maiden song from my fave Maiden album.
