I mean, do I really want to hear Steve Harris play augmented chords for 3 minutes while Bruce whispers 19th century poetry into the microphone...? Sorry lads, try sticking to what you're good at.

I kinda do, actually. I don't even listen to that many 10 minute+ songs, but Iron Maiden keep it immediate while keeping it epic. I'll play "Aces High" more times, cause it's the ultimate Maiden track, along with "The Trooper", but "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a long-time fav.
