    I missed round 2 but surprised Ride made it this far. 

    Creeping Death is probably right at the top for me.  The old Testament lyrics are amazing. And while I haven't seem them play in almost 30 years,  I'll always live the crowd chanting DIE over and over in unison.  I hope that still happens live.

    I think it’s Woodstock 99, when Metallica plays Creeping Death and the whole crowd there is chanting die die die and pumping their fists. Gets me every time. If only I was smart enough to post videos. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Because the bridge is the only interesting part of that song. And you have to wait four minutes for it.

    I agree with this, although I think it's better than Ride the Lightning which doesn't even move to an interesting bridge.  It's the same chug the whole song, like a Maiden tune or something.

    Hey I like Maiden, especially their history lyrics.  One time, back in teh 90's, I was working on Ft Myers Beach and AC/DC used to vacation there for whatever reason.  I met Brian Johnson and talked to him for a bit and I remember that he called Maiden "kennel rock" because of their basic riffs that maintain throughout.  That always stuck with me.  
    I also hung out with Vanilla Ice quite a bit.  He and his girlfriend ran a jet-ski rental down on Lover's Key.  It may surprise you to know that he was kind of a doucher.

    If Ice ever gives you lip again tell him you were sparring partners with Suge.

    Has Maiden not dazzled them with their dual solos in their songs?  Damn haters...

    I think it was the rhythm stuff, not the solos.
