Rants

Rant 1

This one is not really a rant, it is just Bruce who is congratulating the NJ audience for being the best audience so far

Rant 2

The second rant is what can easily be called the classical "Gimme Ed..." rant against MTV and the music industry and such where he grants the audience the permission to record the following song and to share it on the net.

Rant 3

And another MTV rant... This time Bruce is praising the fans because THEY are the ones who kept Maiden alive for more than 25 years. He is also talking about fair weather friends who are only with you when you are popular but who will leave you alone when you are out and that Maiden's fans are not like that. At the end of the the rant Bruce manages to draw a connection to the Clansman which is also the following song.

Rant 4

Once again Bruce praises the New Jersey audience for being the audience so far and for never letting Maiden down. After that Bruce introduces all the band nembers by name and also makes a few jokingly comments about Janick having managed to get drunk in every single town Maiden has ever played so far.
