Aces High.

I do love "Ides of March" though. What an overture. And I really like "Sign of the Cross", a very underrated track.

"Wicker Man" was ruined for me because someone told me prior to hearing it for the first time that the pre-chorus was Green Day's "She" and I couldn't unhear it from the jump.

Man, the drum intro to "Where Eagles Dare," the riff to "Aces High," I would have voted for "The Ides Of March/Wrathchild" if they were combined for that bass intro, but went with first impulse.

That's a mandate. From now on all opening cuts will be Aces High.

I luv "invaders." a terrific opener for their greatest album, yet i I don't get why its not at all popular with fans and the band itself. Maybe this has changed, but last I checked the band had only played on the Beast tour in '82/'83. Is it that the song is just too Maiden for Maiden?

"only played it"
