Why Iron Maiden lost THE FIRE? 🔥

Iron Maiden's cover version of Montrose song I've Got the Fire was one of the most frequently played ones by the band in their early days. And then suddenly, after finally releasing a studio version of I've Got the Fire as a B-Side for the single Flight of Icarus when promoting their fourth studio album Piece of Mind Iron Maiden completely stopped playing this song live. So why was it so? Did the band want to give more room to their original songs or is there a deeper and more complex reason behind it? Let's take a look! And which is your personal favourite cover done by Iron Maiden?
