Re: Daily Song: Wasting Love
Man of Sorrows was written for the film Chemical Wedding (source). I admit that I don't know when it was written, and when it was recorded (though I remember that I heard/read it was in 1992, like this YouTube page says), but it's likely that it was not done during the Tattoed Millonaire sessions. I can imagine that the film project came up later than 1989/1990, and the style -with keyboards etc.- is very different. Also a different sound engineer was used.
About Wasting Love, it's not very unlikely that -if it was written during the Tattoed Millionaire-sessions- they didn't use it, because the calm guitars in the beginning and the tempo are quite similar with Son of a Gun.
I have never disliked this song, but it isn't one of the highlights either. I find the guitar solo trademark Janick, because you can recognize a lot from this (imo he re-used it too much) when you play 2 A.M. and Como Estais Amigos.
When I saw Maiden live, for the first time, one(!) day after Jeff heard this song in the bathroom, I remember that acoustic guitars were brought on the set. First I thought "Hey, will they play Revelations?" and then Bruce introduced Wasting Love. A very moody song, with a powerful chorus and midsection.
Between 7 and 7,5 -> 7.
