16. Cover Songs found on various singles/live recordings (Iron Maiden)
* "I've Got The Fire" - this is an old (Ronnie) MONTROSE song. Sammy Hagar
used to sing for them.
* "Cross-Eyed Mary" - this is an old JETHRO TULL song (actually written by
Ian Anderson) from the album AQUALUNG.
* "Women In Uniform" - by an Australian band SKYHOOKS
* "Tush" - this is an old ZZ TOP song, played at various places, including the
Reading Festival 1992 and a secret concert at the Marquee in London,
December 19, 1985. It wasn't a frequent closer but they did it every once
in a while.
* "Chevrolet" - Another ZZ TOP song from the 1972 album "Rio Grande Mud".
Played at The Marquee 12/19/85
* "Try" - ??? also from the Marquee 12/19/85
* "School Days" - ??? also from the Marquee 12/19/85
* "Fighting Man" - This is an Adrian Smith song. It is on the B-side of the 12"
single of "Silver And Gold." also from the Marquee 12/19/85
* "Lady" - ??? also from the Marquee 12/19/85
* "Rosalie" - this is a BOB SEGER song of which THIN LIZZY have also done
a cover on "Fighting" (1973). The Thin Lizzy version is probably the most
widely known. Also from the Marquee Club gig, 12/19/85.
* "Juanita" - ???
* "That Girl" - this was originally done by British 'rockers' FM.
Apparently, the MAIDEN version is much better, since the FM version is
heavily drenched in keyboards, etc.
* "See Right Through You" - ??? also from the Marquee 12/19/85
* "Reach Out" - this was written by Andy Colwell later for A.S.A.P. But it
was written sometime around 1985. (Also performed at the Marquee gig
12/19/85).
* "Silver And Gold" - This is an Adrian Smith original, probably used from
the times of URCHIN and BROADWAY BRATS. He probably just threw it out this
night (also from the Marquee 12/19/85), and it sounds like him singing it
actually. I think he also used other versions of this later in A.S.A.P.
* "She's Gone" - originally by BLACK SABBATH from "Technical Ecstasy", also
from the Marquee 12/19/85
* "King Of Twilight" - originally done by NEKTAR.
* "Rainbow's Gold" - originally done by BECKETT. Written by Terry Slesser
and Kenny Mountain.
* "Massacre" - originally done by THIN LIZZY.
* "All In Your Mind" - originally done by STRAY.
* "Kill Me Ce Soir" - originally done by GOLDEN EARRING.
* "I'm A Mover" - originally done by FREE.
* "Communication Breakdown" - originally done by LED ZEPPELIN, of course.
* "Space Station No. 5" - originally done by MONTROSE.
* "Roll Over Vic Vella" - this is a parody of CHUCK BERRY's "Roll Over
Beethoven", based on main roadie/driver Vic Vella (who has been with IRON
MAIDEN since their beginning).
* "She's A Roller" - this was an URCHIN song (Adrian Smith's original band),
one of 2 songs released as a single actually - from the 12 Wasted Years
video.
* "My Generation" - originally done by THE WHO (written by Pete Townshend)
