Wrathchild

[Cap Maronis]

The intro is incredible, the rest is alright, but it holds up well over time. 8/10

 

[Forostar]

This one keeps you moving and I always look forward to Bruce's scream live. That scream is not present on this version but the tight drumming of Clive is. Some aggressive chops in the midpiece. I was always intrigued by the omission of Adrian's licks on Live After Death but Janick brought them back and they haven't been away ever since.

8.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Cool bass line, and I like the aggression of the song, but there are better songs on the album. 7/10.

 

[Genghis Khan]

A great short rocker that pumps you up.  I prefer it to Futureal. 7/10

 

[____no5]

Yeah, excellent rocker. Absolutely great bass-line, a great (but overplayed) live track, plus with slightly mysterious lyrics. Paul delivers the song with one of his best ever performances. 9/10

 

[Taker]

10 out of 10... The first Maiden tune I ever heard... raw, angry, and aggressive. Steve's bass line and Di'anno's vocal performance sound almost threatening... still a big favorite after almost thirty years.

 

[Prowler_108]

I don't understand how this song gets a ten...it's aggressive but IMO not that exciting live.  Great bassline though. 7.

Seeing this in 2010 reasserted my love for this song. It is great live and even though overplayed, It's a great song. 8/10

 

[Vap]

8/10 from me, too. One of my favorite Paul era songs. I specially like the bass.

 

[Night Prowler]

Great song, maybe a little overplayed. Bruce sings it better, but Paul's version is also good. Solos are fantastic. 10/10.

EDIT: Ooooops, I accidentally clicked 5 instead of 10. Crap. I'll give 6 points to Innocent Exile instead of 1 to boost up my average rating.

 

[Fugazi]

7/10, A good song, solid track, awesome live track but the album version is my favourite.

 

[The Flash]

Overplayed but has a great bassline and great solos. Pretty good. 8/10.

Fun rocker, great vocals.

 

[Albie]

One of the best songs from the Di-Anno era, in my opinion.

9 - sorry.

 

[wizard]

I like the bass intro and solos. Fun, energetic song but overplayed. 8/10.

 

[Murder89]

Classic bass intro, nice little solos here and there, sing-along chorus.Overplayed or not this song rocks. 9/10

 

[Tron]

7/10

This is a strong song, but it's one that I do get sick of hearing. I think Maiden play it a lot because it's easy.
