what song should be maiden's next single?

Abou said:
Yeah, but I hate the concept of editing. It is like killing the song sort of.
Agreed. I'm just stating a hypothetical. If Maiden wanted a big hit, like Nothing Else Matters was to Metallica, they'll release a bastardized Journeyman. but this is Iron Fucking Maiden, so I doubt they will. though I wouldn't cry Sell-out if they did
 
Rainmaker. It's very obvious. Even if it's not the best song, it's the best single material, and I like it.

I think Rainmaker HAS been comfirmed as the next single anyway.

IRON MAIDEN: 'Rainmaker' Single To Surface In Late November - Oct. 17, 2003

The IRON MAIDEN song "Rainmaker" from their latest album "Dance Of Death" will be released as the band's next European single on Monday, November 24.

"Rainmaker", written by Dave Murray, Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson, will be released in three special formats, with exclusive bonus tracks:

CD Single:
01. Rainmaker
02. Dance of Death (Orchestral Version)
03. More Tea Vicar

DVD Single:
01. Rainmaker Promotional video (5.1 & DTS)
02. The Wicker Man (Live)
03. Children of The Damned (Live)
04. Video stills slide show

7" colored vinyl:

The DVD single features the dramatic promotional video directed by Howard Greenhalgh, which was shot at London's Roundhouse in Camden in September. Howard also directed the animated promotional video for their top 10 single debut single, "Wildest Dreams". "More Tea Vicar", featured on the CD Single, is an amusing jamming session caught on tape whilst the band were recording the album. The B-sides "The Wicker Man" and "Children of the Damned" were both recorded live at last year's Brixton shows in aid of former drummer Clive Blurr.
