When No Prayer was released I was so shocked at how bad it was I sold all my Maiden records. This song kept being played when I was at my local pub, and I hated it. It was a clear sign of how bad Maiden had become. Then 20 years later my daughter started singing along to this song. And Live, it works. It’s great!
