would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now?
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
Zook is right.
So I made an Iron Maiden Spotify Playlist. It's comprised of songs 5 minutes and under. A few go beyond the 5 minute mark, but I basically wanted a playlist of my favorite shorter songs.It's my playlist so Gangland is on it and Deja Vu is not. I stayed away from some of the shorter classics like Children Of The Damned, Aces High or Run To The Hills.Iron Maiden-5 Minutes To MidnightPublic Enema Number OneFates WarningNo Prayer For The DyingRun Silent Run Deep
Indiscipline is a dirty boy.
Doesn't "move" me much.
That doesn't even make sense.

Have you not heard an Iron Maiden album after 1992??
Why do you suppose they write such repetitive choruses? I haven't really enjoyed Maiden since BNW. Not only.are the choruses repetitive, but the song structures as well. Songs like Caught Somewhere in Time or Seventh Son work better because at least they sing in a different melodic phrasing, but the newer songs are just shouting lines over and over.
Honestly I think Steve envisions the band playing large stadiums and he recognizes the choruses to be chant alongs.

Practically everything Iron Maiden has done since the start of the Reunion era seems to start from Steve's vision of Iron Maiden as a band best experienced in a live setting. Right down to their peculiar productions sounding messy at times. For example, I am not a fan of The Red & The Black in its studio form... but goddamn was it a blast when I saw the band live on the Book of Souls tour. I'm not sure what exactly it is that changes that makes the song work so much better for me live, but it was a noticeable factor in my experience.

It ripped.

Definitely one of the highlights of that show, much to my surprise.
I think it had more of groove and rolled better. Not as stiff as the studio version perhaps.

It's the same reason why hearing The Angel and the Gambler live was not THAT bad after all.
