Songs the Maidens Haven't Played

A7 · May 6th, 2008, 09:22 PM

I was looking through the list of songs performed by the Maidens, and while I highly appreciate the hard work in performing those songs live, I'm surprised that a lot of great Iron Maiden songs have yet to be played by the Maidens. As a matter of fact, the entire Dance of Death album is untouched.

So out of the songs on the poll, which one should the Maidens perform?

PS: Yes, I included a couple of Blaze-era songs, but Bruce did perform them live (Rock in Rio). No offense to the Blaze fans, but Bruce did a way better job on those songs.

How do I vote?

Man I never listen to those 2 albums Virtual x and X Factor or whatever they're called. That guy's voice blows!

Dance of Death is the weakest of the last three in my opinion. I love Brave New World and Matter of Life and Death. I think if the girls did a few more from Life and Death that would be cool. I always thought they would do a great Colours Don't Run.

I say drop Trooper, Beast and Hills. I just thing Beast is kind of. well, cheesy. I know it brings back memories and is a good look into that time period, but come on, its hoakey. Trooper has good words, but I just think its weak. Hills is a great song, but come on, its turning into Freebird. That frees up about 25 minutes to play Tame a Land or something. Brave New World is a relevant song during these elections.

PS- Having said all that, everything the girls play I love, so didn't mean to insult anyone.

That's why you should pick up Rock in Rio and Death on the Road, and hear Bruce give justice to some songs from the Blaze era.

As a matter of fact, here's a video sample of "The Clansman," mixed with footage from Braveheart:

And here's "Sign of the Cross":

I wanted to include "These Colours Don't Run," "The Longest Day" and "The Legacy," but the polls have little room.

At least I didn't include "Mission from 'Arry" on the list.

I have Rock in Rio. Oh so thats where those songs came from. I seriously didn't know they were Blaze stuff. Dude Bruce is the shit! He makes these songs great!

Haha yeah Mission From Arry is the best.

"You wuh owt a owduh."

"I wasn't bloody owt a owduh."

"Yes ya wuh mate. He was just dowin is job."

"E Made ma fook up me drum solo."
