Tournament Of Champions 2014: Book of Thel wins!
- Thread starter Mosh

To be fair, these Bruce songs have been at the edge of elimination for awhile now and it looks like a Bruce song will be the next to go.
I understand the Maiden bias thing but honestly I don't think it's that bad. Yea Bruce songs get really far but it's not like these are second rate songs. They're totally deserving of making progress, as are all the other songs here, after all this is the Tournament of Champions.
Look at how badly the actual Maiden songs are doing in this. I think there's almost a reverse Maiden bias here.

Dance of Death is the only Maiden song that appeared in this survivor that I'd even consider alongside all the other amazing songs from the other bands. As good as Ghost and Alex are for me (both solid 9s), they don't hold a candle to the rest of the songs (and a bunch of songs that have already been eliminated).
Now if the Maiden songs were actually the pinnacle of their career (Rime, Powerslave, Phantom etc.) then I think that there would be a bigger argument for those songs.

Thank you.
I'd say that all these songs deserve at least 10 \m/'s except for Creeping Death which would get like 1 \m/ IMO.
Omega loses tie based on past votes.
