According to a posting on the IRON MAIDEN fan site MaidenFans.com,
MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith has ended years of fan speculation by
revealing that the 2000 album "Brave New World" featured leftovers
from the 1998 CD "Virtual XI". Asked in a 2003 interview to identify
the four songs that were written during the sessions for "Virtual XI"
that ended up on its follow-up, Smith said "'Nomad' is one of them.
The others are 'Dream of Mirrors', 'Mercenary', I can't remember the
fourth one."
The interviewer, Kevin Lomax, had the following to say about the
issue: "I did the interview in the Sanctuary Music London after a
brief preview of the 'Dance of Death' album. The interview was with
Adrian Smith. I had fears before asking that question, because maybe
Steve Harris might have said 'Don't tell.' Anyway, I asked and he
said that 'Nomad' (which I'm surprised), 'Dream of Mirrors' (not
surprised in any way!) and 'Mercenary' (the worst song of 'BNW'
from 'Virtual XI', that's obvious!) were from 'Virtual XI'. He
couldnt remember the fourth one. And I asked if 'Blood Brothers'
could be one of them, because it has similar melodies [to] 'Educated
Fool'. He said no, it was not. He thought for a while but he couldnt
remember the fourth. (Maybe didnt want to answer)
"I had a quick chat with [former IRON MAIDEN singer] Blaze [Bayley]
in Istanbul, before his performance in Rock The Nations Istanbul.
(Where he did a duet with Paul Di'Anno) And in that chat he said that
he had written some of the lyrics of 'Dream of Mirrors' but Steve
didn't give him a credit for that in 'BNW'. When he saw that he [was
a bit frustrated]."
