DanHOST
yeah At that same year, I caught my very first gig on the 9th of December at the Manchester MEN Arena and I openly wept with joy.
DanHOST
Dance of Death might get slagged off as a bit meh by the purists, but it was the first album I ever bought on release day and the tour that took my maiden virginity, so I will defend it to the death.
DanHOST
I haven't missed a tour since.
DanHOST
I mean, there's a lot of good on there, but there are better albums, Sean.

soup.
AshHOST
And then we'll continue with Dance of Death.
AshHOST
Ooh, that's the one with the album cover, eh? Okay, wasn't that from Spinal
AnteHOST
Tap? Never mind.
JonathanHOST
Brave New World, of course, I like more than this.
JonathanHOST
Dance of Death is worse than any cover.
JonathanHOST
And Book of Souls, I think, is a bit similar to this, really.
JonathanHOST
Not that different.
JonathanHOST
on Fear of the Dark, but it's totally gone here.
JonathanHOST
And when does it return? I would say Brave New World, perhaps.
JonathanHOST
Even maybe Dance of Death, actually.
ErikHOST
Maybe, yeah.
Erik ShawHOST
Yeah.
Paul LacayoGUEST
Maybe with the Dance of Death artwork a little bit.
Paul LacayoGUEST
That's the only other link-
Erik ShawHOST
Yeah, yeah
Erik ArköGUEST
No.
Paul LacayoGUEST
Well, actually, Sign of the Cross specifically hit me.
Paul LacayoGUEST
The first version I heard was the Rock In Rio version, and I had no, no way to pinpoint it because at the time I only had Piece of Mind, Brave New World, and Dance of Death as albums.
Paul LacayoGUEST
So I was like, "This is an interesting song." And I think of that set, of the Brave New World set, that one jumped out at me the most.

[upbeat music]
DanHOST
Gates of Tomorrow from Dance of Death.
MichaelHOST
I don't think so.
DanHOST
I knew that's higher.
DanHOST
'Cause everything else is dog shit.
DanHOST
Um, is it, is it gonna be higher or lower than this? Three, two, one.
DanHOST
[upbeat music] Rainmaker from Dance of Death
MichaelHOST
Great.
speaker_0HOST
It had songs Beyond the Veil and Angalore.
speaker_0HOST
In 2003, Iron Maiden released Dance of Death.
speaker_0HOST
It was the heavy metal band's 13th studio album.
speaker_0HOST
It also had their first fully acoustic track on it.
RexHOST
I have the live album from that tour.
RexHOST
I know that album well, but like Dance, A Matter of Life and Death, Dance of Death, Final Frontier, those albums, I could probably tell you that I've listened to, I could probably count the number of times I've listened to each of them on one hand.
DuffHOST
And I saw the tour where they did almost the entire set was from those albums, and I loved it.
DuffHOST
But again, that's the difference between when I saw Slayer, I remember telling you, I'm like, dude, I don't like half of the set.
DuffHOST
I really like half of it, sort of like part of it, and... you know, some of it just was lost on me too.
DuffHOST
I mean, for me in that era, there's just some songs like These Colors Don't Run and the Reincarnation of Benjamin Brieg.
DuffHOST
Like there's just a couple tunes that, or the title track to Dance of Death, I think are three of their best live songs.
DuffHOST
that rival things like Fear of the Dark.
