Does anyone else find it stupid that Run To The Hills, The Trooper, Iron Maiden, and Wrathchild, all great songs nonetheless, are played at every single Maiden gig when other great songs are left out? Hallowed Be Thy Name is the exception to this rule.

100% agree. Maiden Fans are pretty hardcore, I'm sure they would love for them to play some of the lesser known songs.

All I want is a live album with songs that haven't been on any of the others.

If Maiden keeps writing songs, then they have a smaller and smaller percentage of their songs which can possibly be squeezed into a gig. Of course, some of the songs they just don't play anymore, probably because the fan response was lukewarm originally, or they just don't see a big demand for it.

I'd like to see them play Charlotte the Harlot, 22 Acacia Avenue, Powerslave, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Genghis Khan, and Purgatory, these are some great songs they no longer play. I also think it would probably be a good idea to release a live album of the Paul days, I'd like to see Maiden Japan on CD.

My brother saw them at Ozzfest and said they played Murders in the Rue Morgue. It was part of the "Early Days" tour so they only played songs from the first four albums. I wish I would have gone because I would have known those songs :(

Lawl at YDLoad for only having the first 5 albums.

I got The Trooper as a ringtone for my phone today...It is okay, it just plays the chorus 4 times.

I don't any more :(

I've nearly got through all my coursework, though, so I'll be back, with vengeance.

That begs the question, vengeance against who or what?

Meh.

Work sucks.

In the meantime:

and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner:thumb:

although i think thats what the history of DVD thingys are about, They brought out the Early Days and did a tour with all their older songs, so the next DVD in the instalment will contain Powerslave so that might mean a tour with RotAM:D

i'd like to seem them play flash of the blade at least once. But, since they have never played it live, it seems unlikely that they'll play it.

That was the Bruce singing it with the crowd, i think.

It wouldn't be a Maiden Gig without the anthemic set closer being Iron Maiden.

t'wouldn't be right.

I don't like Wrathchild too much. One of the worst songs on [I]Killers[/I] IMO

I would have loved to go on the X-Factour..They did the aftermath!

I thought I read that Maiden did play The Duellists on the World Slavery tour.

Nope, i just checked, and nope

its a shame if they didn't, tis a good song


NP-Judgement of Heaven

what annoyed me about this tour was that they dropped Charlotte the Harlot for Wrathchild, because a lot of the fans didn't know CtH!

Bloody Wrathchild :(

I want to see Alexander the Great and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son live!!

some fans they are:evil:

[QUOTE=crag]What the hell, i'll just do SiT now as well

1. Alexander The Great
2. Caught Somewhere In Time
3. Heaven Can Wait
4. De Ja Vu
5. Sea Of Madness[/QUOTE]
Thanks for going on without me guys. :rolleyes:
Nah, my computer ****ed up on me so I haven't been on in quite a while. Anyway, no more album bios for me. They're boring. So list your favorites from 'Somewhere in Time' if you haven't alreday. Mine:

1. Wasted Years
2. Sea of Madness
3. Alexander the Great
4. Deja Vu
5. Stranger in a Strange Land

We we'll be getting to 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' shortly. I'm adding up the totals from the other albums. Hopefully when we have the elimanation rounds, not everyone will vote for 'Hallowed Be Thy Name.' Cheers. :chug:

I think Hallowed Be Thy Name would be a better closer personally, but Iron Maiden is good. And Crag I agree Rime of the Ancient Mariner should be played more often, awesome song.

Now that ClassicRockMan did best song on each album let's do the two worst on each album. Let's say first three this time. (1 is worst 2 is second worst)

Iron Maiden:
1. Running Free
2. Strange World

This was a hard album almost every song is fantastic. Although those songs are the worst on the album, they're still great songs.

Killers:
1. Prodigal Son
2. Ides of March

Neither are bad per se. Ides of March is more of an opener and Prodigal Son just isn't fantastic. Still good songs.

Number of the Beast:
1. Gangland
2. Invaders

Both are decent but below Maiden's normal standard of excellence.

ST
1. Running Free
2. Sanctuary

Killers
Don't have it yet

NOTB
1. Gangland
2. Run To The Hills

i'll just do the rest while i'm at it

PoM
1. Quest For Fire
2. Flight of Icarus

Powerslave (this one is hard)
1. 2MtM
2. Aces High

SiT
1. Wasted Years
2. Stranger in a Strange Land

SSoaSS (another hard choice)
1. The Prophecy
2. Moonchild

NPftD
1. Mother Russia
2. The Assasin

FotD
1. The Apparition
2. Weekend Warrior

The X Factor (yet another hard choice)
1. BOTWH
2. The Aftermath

1. Angel And The Gambler
2. DLTTEOAS

BNW

2. The Nomad
