In italy the single has been delayed to the 21st January. Or at least this is what many shops say.
They better hurry with my order.
Still I think the single is lame and not because it's an old song, they didn't even bother to make new cover, include an old video on it, besides are anything but interesting. I mean, again classics from the 2002 tour. Why not include some rare stuff from the Gimme Ed, en DoD tour like Lord of the flies and revelations?
Well i got mine today and im really happy with it 
Well, I got the single just for the sake of completing my collection, but there have already been about 7 official live versions of Hallowed Be Thy Name, and even more for Number Of The Beast. I would have preferred something else, like some recording off Give Me Ed, or songs from Dance Of Death, or some rarely played old stuff.
Got mine today, should have gotten them earlier in the week but couldnt get into town. I bought them for collection purposes. £2.99 for the cd single, £3.99 for the 12" picture disc and £1.99 for the 7" single! 
Bargains!
Fuzzy phone picture 
Hey, UK friends, buy more ! It's already 3 in the charts (midweek)
Cheers
Well we could and it would give money to maiden but its not about popularity, we all know its the best single currently available and will be the best until maiden release their next one
