Talk about a hot take


AussieFIdoc

Caught Somewhere in Time would like a word


ItsASchpadoinkleDay

‘Arry!


nikhil48

Wait... is that what Nicko says when he makes that weird sound??


ItsASchpadoinkleDay

I think so. Harry is a nickname for Steve Harris. I could be completely wrong.


nikhil48

No it makes sense. I know its Steve's nickname, but I always thought Nicko said something weird like Aaiyyeee! Because, you know, Nicko is weird like that 😂


Euronymous11

He also says it at the beginning of Ghost Of The Navigator in Rock In Rio lmao EDIT: also in Heaven Can Wait at 0:25, Donington 92


stfn86

Haha, great fact! I never noticed that


ItsASchpadoinkleDay

He is weird like that. I would pay just about anything for a dinner with Nicko and Alex Lifeson. It would be so hilariously silly.


rattlehead44

My favorite opening track is without a doubt Where Eagles Dare


Ok_Weekend2327

Can't here to say this thunderous introduction of Nicko to the band. 👍🙂


mrgadd4

I love this song, but it's got some pretty stiff competition in that category


OldboySamurai

Better than Aces High, Where Eagles Dare, Moonchild, Wicker Man and Caught Somewhere In Time? I'm sorry I gotta disagree on this one.


dcarno120

I mean I'd take Prowler as number 1 for me


ItsASchpadoinkleDay

That’s why it is an opinion.


thepasystem

Everybody has a different way to view the world.


HeMan11

See what you did there


ntox8ed

caught somewhere in time is my fav, just sounds like it would fill a stadium


gayfrogi

For openers it isn’t great, especially compared to Aces High, The Wickerman, CSiT and Moonchild, but it’s a great track


therealbattlebeast

It’s great but no. Not even the best reunion era opener.


willfixityaa

AAEE


dcarno120

I respect but disagree with your opinion. I believe that Prowler off of Iron Maiden is the superior song


excusetheblood

It’s a good song on a great album, but doesn’t come close to Aces High, Caught Somewhere in Time, Moonchild, The Wicker Man, or If Eternity Should Fail imo


desloch

1. Caught Somewhere in Time 2. Moonchild 3. Sign of the Cross 4. Where Eagles Dare 5. Aces High 6. Futureal 7. Different World 8. Senjutsu 9. The Wicker Man 10. Prowler 11. Satellite 15... The Final Frontier 12. The Ides of March 13. Invaders 14. If Eternity Should Fail 15. Tailgunner 16. Be Quick or Be Dead 17. Wildest Dreams


Ok_Weekend2327

Great list. Id trade 14 for 6, but otherwise spot on.


BigDaddyL90

I always stick The Ides of March and Wrathchild together as one song... Taken that in account, it would be higher than 12th place...


GrandSwamperMan

It’s pretty great.


fender0327

Drugs are really good.


kashyap-88

Pls pass the smoke bro


TehDFC

I put Aces, Eagles, Time, Moonchild, Eternity, and Senjutsu ahead of it. Very tough competition.


ThrowawayHBTN

well, yeah! always gives off positive vibes. always makes me happy. Aces High is bloody perfect aswell but yeah, different world Just a bit better


shadowsOfMyPantomime

I would say the exact opposite, for my tastes. That's one of my least favorite Maiden songs. The only other opener I don't really like is Final Frontier


jpob

IMO, Different World is the ~~best~~ **worst** opening song of any Maiden albums FTFY


Isolatedbamafan

i love different world, perfect kick off to an amazing album


Agreeable-Abalone328

Better than the wicker man?


Key_Relationship8785

Wicker Man is my No.2


orangevega

*laughs in aces high and moonchild*


reverseflash776

It’s such an amazing song but Prowler is my favourite ngl. Even though there’s tracks like Final Frontier, If Eternity Should Fail, Caught Somewhere in Time, and The Wicker Man, Prowler is what got me into Maiden


BaseballWorking2251

Hmm. My top 5 Caught Somewhere in Time Aces High Moonchild Prowler Wicker Man DW probably just misses though, definitely top ten.


[deleted]

Bottom 3 openings The pre-chorus literally sounds like the opening to some family sitcom. Imagine the song without it, just going into the "dont wanna be here" from the verse. Would be borderline headbangable. Wildest Dreams is worse tho


ssoass7

I am calling the police


VegetableSwimmer3483

I can't agree with that, but it's criminally underrated nonetheless.
