      I agree! I'm not the biggest Maiden fan but I do like them a lot. I'm a drummer so I keep up with Nicko. I love his drum set up, his style of playing, and the sound of his drums and cymbals. Most of all I love his personality. I've watched several interviews and live clips of him at his restaurant and or his drum shop and he is always so cordial and friendly. It's refreshing to see a famous person that's actually happy. Rock on Nicko!!

      they will never play this...we need history restored in Greece
      lron Maiden SHOULD support us, just like we Greeks have been supporting them over a lifetime.
      They must only sing this song, because its lyrics are true history.
      Support the truth lron Maiden and we will respect you again.

      bruce dickinson said this summer in Athens in Greece that they will not play this song until ''Greece gets it sorted out with its neighbors''
      it is disappointing seeing our beloved artists keeping their mouths shut and not speaking out the truth.
      what if a neighbor state to England tried to steal its own history and heroes?
      would Bruce react the same?With silence?

    FOR PPL ASKING! The REASON why maiden doesn't play ALEXANDER THE GREAT live is because ADRIAN SMITH. He said in an interview a while back that he could not remember/or could play the solo live. I see people asking that all the time on forums, and sites. I wanna see To Tame A Land, Fates Warning and some unplayed Blaze Era songs maiden hasn't done with Bruce like Como Estias Amigos, The Educated Fool, The Aftermath etc.

    • @metamatic22

    My band plays Alexander the Great! We play it exactly as the original version, and I'm the bass player! I think the reason why maiden don't play it is because it is a very fast song on the bass guitar in the instrumental part after the second chorus. You can use a 3rd finger, but it won't sound the same. So, maybe Steve is becoming lazy, haha! But I don't think so. Because Steve is a fuckin' god. PS: The crowd always react very positive when we play that song!

      the reason they do not play this song is because a neighboring state to Greece is claiming already for 30 years that Alexander the Great was a SLAV!
      This state is newly formed and named FYROM.
      This was caused by communist propaganda against Greece ( the founder of this idea was named T fromito, look aor it and you will get goosebumps)
      lron Maiden probably do not wish to get involved between Greece and this small state with the slavic citizens, but for the sake of reason, they should some day break their silence and sing and shout out loud that Alexander was born in the kingdom Macedonia in Greece.
      The Greek fans feel quite disappointed that this band refuses to play this song, alway coming up with excuses.
      Alexander the Great was Greek and l am happy that you play this song, even though you are not aware of the reason Iron Maiden refuse to do so.
      Thank you and greetings from Greece.

    ls this song really so hard for you, Iron Maiden?
    You must honour your own song, lron Maiden.
    Stand up for the truth and we will respect you.

    bruce dickinson said this summer in Athens in Greece that they will not play this song until ''Greece gets it sorted out with its neighbors''
    it is disappointing seeing our beloved artists keeping their mouths shut and not speaking out the truth.
    what if a neighbor state to England tried to steal its own history and heroes?
    would Bruce react the same?With silence?
    l don't think so.
    Respect our greek history please..

      Yeah, interviewers that don't seem to have the slightest clue about the band or their music.
