So what's wrong with Run to the Hills?
I don't get it...maybe there is a Maiden fan that can properly explain this to me, but I really don't see the hate for the song. I mean...it's not the GREATEST Maiden song (I can think of 10-12 better right off hand) but I mean, it's well written, has awesome parts (esp. the drums) and tells a good story. IT's probably the most overplayed Maiden song there is (and that might be the answer right there) but I don't get the vitriol for it in general...
anyone?
anyone?

Uh...there's hate for this song? I've been to many Maiden shows and I've never seen any hate for it. I've seen tons of love for it when the intro starts. But you may be on to something when you talk about how often it's played. But if that's the case then "Sanctuary" must also be hated.

I love that song, I think if your a drummer you learn the intro, and if your a guitar player you learn the intro too.. its just one of those songs that everybody knows.

That's always been one of my favorite Maiden songs.

I'm confused. Even my kids love Run to the Hills.
