We'll continue with chapter 11!
Next era: Virtual XI!

In the previous chapter we had 22 songs to choose from, now only 8.
I remember that Janick's solo in The Clansman is one of his best, but first I'll listen to the album to make sure how the rest will do.

In case you guys want to know what's going on here, please do read on:

-------

1. You may cast 1 or 2 votes on the song(s) which contain(s) your favourite guitar solo(s). The winner* will come back in the final where all albums will be represented by the strongest songs (solo-wise that is)!

2. In this poll the word solo may be interpreted as broad as you like. E.g., the lead guitars / harmonies / licks (whatever you like to call them) in Iron Maiden & Running Free are imho not really solos since they are repetitive motives, but you can still vote for these tracks in case you like these moments better than others.

3. I will also do the B-sides, so when an album title is mentioned in the subject, this should be interpreted as the "era of that album", not only the album songs themselves.

4. Every poll will run for one week.

5. Only studio tracks.

Last but not least: Thanks a lot in advance for your contribution!  :ok:

*In case of a tie, a tiebreak will be done to select one song for the final.
 
The Clansman and Futureal.

I love my aggressive Davey solos like in Futureal and like Foro mentioned the Janick solo in the Clansman is great too.

Also, these are my favourite 2 songs ;) But my votes are purely on solo's as always!
 
When Two Worlds Collide and Como Estais Amigos?

On the first, both solos bear a despair and an urgency of the inevitable collision that speaks loud. On the latter, Jan make one of the most beautifiul, picky solos ever in Maiden catalogue. It sounds directly inspired by David Gilmour.
