MSN me if you'd like to hear something off the Brave New World album (2000), unfortunately i dont have anything from Dance of Death (2003) 
Thanks for the offer man, and the tip. You have piqued my interest so I'll scout around for some tracks.

Hopefully no one minds that I revived this 3 month old topic!
Some new topics of discussion:
Best lyrical song?
Bruce's voice, better in the Fear of the Dark era, or after he returned?
Favorite solo?
also some thoughts on the guitarists:
Dave Murray has impressed me since i first got into Maiden. His solos are flawless. They stand out in every song. Every time I hear a maiden song, I can tell myself, "That's Dave's solo" and thats a quality i think is very rare in multi-guitar bands. He's incredibly fast to boot.
Janick Gers is one of the best showman i've ever seen. He runs and jumps around the stage for entire concerts, all the while blaring out his off-the-wall solos. He seems to value guitar tricks over guitar ability when it comes to soloing though, his whammy bar trickery is present in many songs.
Adrian Smith doesn't seem to have the speed and technical merit of Dave Murray, or the stage charisma of Janick Gers. He makes up for it with solos that fit perfectly with the rest of the song. There's never a feeling of "This solo doesn't make alot of sense" when Adrian is playing. He's also an amazing song writer, being the major credit on Paschendale.
My favorite song lyric-wise is Paschendale, without a doubt.
I absolutely adore Bruce's voice on the Brave New World and Dance of Death albums, the control he's developed since the Fear of the Dark days is phenomenal.
Favorite solo has to be in "From Here To Eternity". Dave showcases his crazy finger speed and precision, and Janick jumps in afterwards with his whammy bar shenanigans, and throws down a not-quite-as-impressive-as-Dave shredding line
Up the Irons buhahahaha

By the way my favorite maiden song of all time is 2 Minutes to Midnight
and every time I hear Aces High, 2 Minutes to Midnight starts playing in my head directly afterwards (They're songs 1 and 2 on the Powerslave album) no matter what else is playing. I've paused BW games to switch the song to 2mtm after hearing Aces High because its reaaaaally distracting

After listening to some of their newer stuff I have been really imperssed. Paschendale, particularly, is a really good track. Thanks for reviving my interest FakeSteve.
(By the way, do not be offended if I ask, but seeing as you are from Canada do you know what Up the Irons really means?)
