Here's my response to Cristian Osorio's 2026 Iron Maiden tag. Check out his thread starter here: youtube.com/watch?v=s0ku26E-Z1s
And his channel here: youtube.com/@cristianosorio2517
Here are his 20 questions for us (and I took the liberty of adding an extra bonus question as well):
01. "Let there be Maiden": Who, how or what make you discover the band?
02. "Who needs words?": Favorite instrumental
03. "Revelations": Favorite lyrics
04. "The Angel and the Gambler": Hard to believe but they sometimes have bad songs… name one song you really don't like at all
05. "Killers": Now name you favorite deep track
06. "Book of Souls": Show a book, magazine, zines, flyer, etc. - anything on paper
07. "Scream for Me": How many times have you seen the band live, or if not, do you want to see them on their next tour?
08. "Stranger in a Strange Land": If you have the chance to see them live when (any year), where (country or venue) would it be?
09. "Isle of Avalon": 5 records you will take to a desert island
10. "Blood Brothers": What would be the record to introduce your son/daughter/nephew/niece or any young listener to discover the band
11. "The Legacy": Show a release you have in more than one physical format (LP, CD, cassette, DVD, bluray, MiniDisc, reel to reel, etc...)
12. "Man on the Edge": Why should you give the Blaze Bayley years another try?
13. "Sheriff of Huddersfield": The band have done a lot of cool B-sides; name one of your favorite ones.
14. "Running Free": A song you have to play loud while driving.
15. "22 Acacia Avenue": You move into a new home. You play one record up to 10 to announce your neighbours. Here's Johnny!!!!
16. "Alexander the Great": Who's your favorite band member.
17. "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner": You're going for a walk (a long one); name the first and last tracks on your playlist
18. "Weekend Warrior": Steve and boys love football and West Ham is his favorite team. Talk about your favorite sport or your team if you have one.
19. "Holy Smoke (grail)": name something you would like the band to release or what record you need/want to add to the collection
20. "Iron Maiden": So, why you still listen to the band after so many years?
Bonus: "Different World": Show an album or other type of release by a Maiden-related artist
