boring intro, cool solo, nice riff- good song, but not great.

I like this. I think it's their best song in ages. I have zero expectations of Iron Maiden in 2006, so if the rest of the album is like this song, I for one will be quite pleased.

Actually he does. Although he's not nearly as good as the other three.

Bruce played the third guitar on the song Revelations. He played the acoustic part.

I watched half the video only, as I was in my friends place, rushing for class. The intro was not to my liking. A bit too boring and draggy. But the part Steve slides his bass and what followed was amazing. I just managed to watch the beginning of the solo, pretty ok.

In whole, it's a pretty good song and me and my friends here love it. Hopefully there's better stuff coming soon.

I think Maiden is pushing the slow intro and outro too much.That formula is repeated pretty much since Fear Of The Dark (the song), and on The X Factor and Brave New World it was all over the place.Almost every song was like that.Having said that, i liked the song.Has a lot from Bruce solo albums in terms of modern metal sound.And about being one of the worst songs on the album, i'm sorry, but the videos almost always are made for the most catchy/better songs on the albums.

No, i think the video would be made for the more intelligent/introspective song. Y'know, to give the core kiddies a soft start to their new favourite band

I doubt they would make a maiden-ish song the single, cos the whole world has already seen that, how boring would it be?

And finally, they want to tease us, therefore they put a lesser song on the single, to say "You know we can do better.......just wait"

I quite like the song. The riff is awesome IMHO. I think the whole song gets better the more you listen to it. I'm definitely looking forward to getting the whole new album in my hands.

Super boring song! Ill give it something like a 4/10 the same riff over and over for like 4 minutes?? :?

The vocals are still awesome though.

Dude come on, what the fuck are you all looking for? This kicks so much ass it isn't even funny. Shit at 50+ Maiden still kick the shit out of every fairyland faggot band the inspired. Compare this to the total bullshit of the last two Blind Guardian albums for example.

Fuck you all, this kicks major ass and I LOVE it. Lee (and I am the only one that matters) stamp of Heavy Metal approval for sure, I can't fucking wait.........

Yup. Although this sounds like all other maiden to me so w/e. I totally don't see what's so great about them.

Yeah they totally need to splice together two or three unrelated rhythm tracks in every single song. Then they'd be like, automatically better.

that would make it more interesting for me, probably not that much better though.

Based on my second listen: woohoo this kicks arse! I love atmospheric Maiden.

Amazing cover! This should have been of the album. What were they thinking?

I like the song. A bit repetetive, but cool. I just love the melody starting in about the 5 min mark. One of the best I've heard from Maiden.

Radagast · **Posted:** Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:58 pm

As an album cover its probably too close to Live After Death and No Prayer For the Dying.

Its still awesome cool though.

The_Voice · **Posted:** Tue Aug 01, 2006 3:39 am

Awesome cover, and agreen with katharian this should have been the cover for the new album.
