Summary

Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel and Merlin Alderslade from Metal Hammer return to rank Iron Maiden opening songs! They’ve got their Top 10 selected and count them down in a spirited debate that’s filled with great trivia about songwriting, recording, and concerts. Do any songs from the Blaze Bayley era make the cut? And how did the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith affect their respective lists? Where do you think songs like “Invade,” “Aces High,” “The Number Of The Beast,” “Piece of Mind,” and “Powerslave” rank? They guys also discuss Maiden live shows and set lists, and make some predictions about what might be included in Maiden’s upcoming “The Future Past Tour.” Thank you for supporting our sponsors!
