The Spirit of Man narrative bit.
He must have regretted that until the day he died.

the bass intro, great... the vocals/spoken part is kind of embarassing.
the rest of the song is great.

agree with you here, an otherwise good song marred by cringey moaning (would have been better if it didnt sound like he was under the bedsheets telling his mum he didnt wanna go to school)

Hypnotize by The Notorious B.I.G. - completely ruined by Puff Daddy being an ******* with his repeated "c'mon", "yeah", etc. in the background.

Okay this is really minor, but whatever. When Iron Maiden performs "Hallowed Be Thy Name" live, Bruce always adds in a little wimpy "yeah, yeah" that doesn't appear on the recorded version. It happens here:

Mark my words believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth (Bruce's weak "yeah, yeah")

Hear for yourself at about 3:28 in this video:

I can't listen to to this song live without laughing at that part. I didn't even notice it until a friend of mine pointed it out. The way Bruce delivers it is so unlike him. I don't know what the point of it is, but he's been doing it at every show for a long, long time.

This is an awesome song, but there's this part 25 seconds in where the vocalist changes from a death metal style vocals to this weird high pitched thing and says "Annihilate yourself". It's pretty much the only part of the song I dislike, but it does detract from it.

Ohh, I was expecting little girl high.

I've heard stuff like that before, I guess it's different when you're really into the song.

The parson monologue is excruciating...it's not even funny like asshats examples.

Nope, not kidding.

Maybe its just because I was never really familiar with what he even sounded like before then, so I don't associate it with him as much as the song.
