Steve Harris reveals the Iron Maiden deep cut he'd like them to play more live

Steve Harris giving the thumbs up

Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden are currently rattling through Europe on their latest adventure, taking in arenas and stadiums across the continent under the banner of The Future Past Tour. The tour's setlist has had Maiden fanatics salivating thanks to it revisiting some of the band's most beloved deep cuts - namely highlights from their classic, futuristic 1986 studio album, Somewhere In Time. The track that has unquestionably drawn the most excited response has been Alexander The Great, the epic, eight-plus minute Somewhere In Time album closer that Maiden's fans have been requesting to finally see live for almost four decades.

A few weeks back, Metal Hammer got to witness the Future Past tour live (spoiler: it was pretty damn epic), and we spent time with band founder, bassist and leader Steve Harris for an exclusive interview. During our chat, Harris revealed another Maiden deep cut that he'd be interested in dusting off somewhere down the line - and it's another classic album closer that we're pretty sure fans would be similarly delighted to see.
