The 17 Best Iron Maiden Musical Moments
My favorite bits of Maiden songs. Whether it be a riff, a chorus, a part of a solo or just to solo in general. |
| 1 | Iron Maiden
Murders in the Rue Morgue
The catchy yet badass chorus |
| 2 | Virus
The moment it explodes into rhythm after the somewhat annoying slow, HARD, slow, HARD intro. |
| 3 | Back in the Village
The first 30 seconds |
| 4 | 22 Acacia Avenue
From about 4;12 to 4:53 |
| 5 | Strange World
Any one of Paul DiAnno's verses. Absolutely beautiful. |
| 6 | Lord of the Flies
The first minute. It's a real unique sound. |
| 7 | Moonchild
The weird, synth intro. |
| 8 | Out of the Silent Planet
From 3:35 to 4:50 |
| 9 | For the Greater Good of God
The epic guitar riff starting at 6:57 |
| 10 | Heaven Can Wait
When he band begins to chant "woahohoh" over and over |
| 11 | Futureal
Not the chorus itself, but the guitar riff backing it up |
| 12 | Phantom of the Opera
The part of the long instrumental that begins at about 4:50 and ends at 5:08. |
| 13 | The Clairvoyant
The amazing bass intro. |
| 14 | Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
The soft, dark, spoken verse towards the middle. |
| 15 | Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The entire solo. Three minutes of kickassery. |
| 16 | Hallowed Be Thy Name
2:33 to 3:10. Incredibly powerful |
| 17 | Sign of the Cross
7:56 to 10:08; the greatest thing I've ever heard. |
