ABOUT IRON MAIDEN:
Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of six decades they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.
The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’ which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

Nobody beats Iron Maiden when it comes to live performance.
Nobody
Red symbolizes emotions and Black is the ego mind of thoughts that are blind to everything (as all thoughts are at surface level in either past/future in duality in the illusion of time, not unity/oneness - love). The only way of light/truth/spirit is to not think and not give into fear (emotions) and go deep within to activate all that is Within you (White = Light). .
Maiden 80s beats Maiden 2000s live

This is one of the most underappreciated Iron Maiden songs. WHAT A MASTERPIECE!
The instrumental part and chorus are great, but the beginning sucks and Bruce is trying too hard in that part.
@@VNeto94 You speak nonsense. Greetings from South America where live the true Maiden fans
@@metalero2311 explain how the dragging and repeating beggining is good?
(I'm from Brazil, btw)
@@metalero2311 you like it because of the easy "wooooooos".
@@VNeto94 The original "The Red and the Black" is way better, man. You don't need to remove all the sense of grandeur and spaciousness it had. I like the original because it felt like this great rambling yarn you could get lost in - which wouldn't normally be a compliment, except the song's numerous guitar passages are wonderful, and flow into each other in a fun, playful sort of manner. That bass intro is really great - you can feel the weight and size of the song looming, huge as it is, when those ominous first few notes play. And the "woah oh oh" parts help the song. The version you want just would sound choppy and disjointed.
Then again, I don't see a point in fan edits of artists' work in any way most of the time. I like seeing what the original intent was.
I'm from Argentina.
Crazy motherfuckers. At 5:00 and onwards it just keeps on going and going, until it reaches musical heights I don't think we have words for yet. It is pure musical orgasm. And to just see them rocking on at their age, going at it like they have not stopped doing for the past decades, the same passion, the same energy. Living legends.
The band has been on stage around the world for nearly 50 years now, and they still have the energy and passion to keep on playing for all generations. Truly they are living legends.

welcome home dear, UP THE IRONS
Welcome. Back. Enjoy the smell of iron once again
I’ve loved maiden for over 25 years and reckon this is one of their top 3 best songs ever.
Feel so lucky to be born in a time where we have Iron Maiden.
and Doom!
gc8972b Damn right!
... things people did not say in medieval ages
Markus #283 Lmfao true though!
There is no luck... Only God... Still, it is a purifying music... We were created for this...
In my opinion this is one of Maidens best songs and I think it is so underrated
One of my favorites as well
👍👍👍
i agree, so many changes within the song, its pretty F'n Epic. Was so good live!!!
agree it's def one of their best later era classics. absolutely fantastic.
@@ZeZwede 👍
This is just another level.
Playing live like this. Sorry other bands but, these guys are really the best ever.
Il en existe pas deux! Ce live est absolument phénoménal!!!!!
Maiden est vraiment le meilleur groupe au monde
And let's not forget the age of these elders.Up the Irons!!
No doubt
Agree👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
avec METALLICA bien sur …@@bayadjerroud4693
Janick what an energetic man and what a great spirit 😊
I had a friend who told me Maiden should have retired after The Book of Souls album and tour because they sounded weak and soulless on it. I HAD I friend...
StalkerMonolith, they should have reatired after the utter shite of a crap album 'Dance of Death'. It's shameful on every level. Never released anything actualy good since 1999 for heaven's sake ! This song is good, but scratching around for the occasional worthy track is just lame for any band's standards, let alone Iron Maiden. I won't even mention the 90's, it's too painful, allthough not as bad as...well, with great pain I must say....Bad, but not as bad as their second half of their carreer. In fact, it's been a longer period. Oh my God, I hate to even thik about it. I am no stuck guy, give us back the 80's like...But yeah, bands stand for something. They kept the lyrics interestingish but really, the music went down the bog. I say FINALLY sack that clown Gers, and start writting some kinky, streetwise, progressive stuff from the heart. I mean clearly they CAN'T go wrong commercialy...What's the worst thing that can happen? Check Saxon as an example. And they aren't half as good as Iron Maiden on their best day.
@@DidacticEditions that's your opinion, I think many will disagree...
I think some of their best albums are in the second bruce era, for me the best is "A Matter of Life and Death".
Also, I think their latest albums are much more complex then their 80's stuff, and I apreciate that
@@noam4832 We re all brothers in metal and in the Iron Maiden family above all. But with much respect, many can disagree all they want. That doesn't change the definition of music, the complexity and quality of it. Sure there are tastes, but long songs with sudden random changes will match complexity, definetely not in quality, the masterpieces of the 80's. So, I love Brave new world. It's a brilliant album, different to that era, but good. The rest after that...Sorry they cannot compare. Plus, back in the first decade, you had masterpiece after masterpiece album in quick succession, with every single song being perfect...But yeah
@@DidacticEditions Dance of Death wasn't their best, but it wasn't that bad and Book of Souls is their #2 best album ever. I swear guys like you think they should have packed it in after Number of the Beast so they could never tarnish them with any other music they could ever possibly make.
@@Shockeye00 how dumb are you????? They should never pack it up, but 7th son of a 7th son is their last IRON MAIDEN album. Shit hot, no skippable material etc. Guys like my nothing. Get real
8:32 this solo is f**king amazing !
Adrian is incredible.
Feel sorry for Dave Murray rarely gets the credit he deserves but yes Adrian is a machine and his solos are always brilliant.
@@alexandert2762 ... not from this world! I've been a Maiden fan since I was a kid and his solos only get better! I've heard them millions of times and it's still breathtaking.
From 9:38 to the end, no matter how many times i listen to it, it will always send chills down my spine and make me tear down.
Same here mate
I feel the same, fkn nr 1 😉

Sorry other bands but this is the best band
it was around the 80s. Started sucking since Janick or mid ninetees.
That harmony at 5:01 is hair raising ,amazing no band makes music like this NONE!!

This is Iron Fvcking Maiden, boys and girls. By far the most beautiful, the most powerful, the deepest, the most spiritual, most loving, the most truthful and genuine band of music (of All genres) that ever existed and will exist !! Thank - You Mother Ayahuasca !! Endless Infinite Gratitude !! : - )
the words u used to describe them are really very accurate
Thank you Robert for speeking the Fvcking truth! :-) Wish you all the best.

Geddy Lee is the greatest rock bassist but Mark King is even better.
There is just nothing like maiden. And probably will never be.
Invicta tattoo Never could be...if anything comes close its another lifetime away
Brian Sternett true that,you couldn't be more right about that
Invicta tatoo ultimate truth !!!
Invicta tattoo you're god damn right!
They're the godfathers of Heavy Metal. They literally invented a music genre and completely innovated the metal and rock scene. NOTHING in any lifetime will come close, everything will always be compared to Iron Maiden
This song is in my top 10. It's an underrated song. I hope they play this song again alive
It's amazing how we can see they feeling the song, and how Gears always have fun dancing while playing. I love them.
13 minutes of greatness by THE greatest band ever.
Up The Irons
They really are the greatest band of all time absolutely the best.
Iron Maiden is a "Shamanic band" of infinite Truths and love and light. That nobody else can see and understand. Only UNLESS you have Be-come " it " and totally transformed your-Self to infinite Truths of Soul and Spirit in higher dimensions of consciousness can you possibly ever totally understand the beauty of Iron Maiden. Because, "If it's not Shamanic, it's not Organic. " Not many people have the ability to understand Iron Maiden, as most people live in the lies of duality of good and evil of the mind and are just walking "reactions", and lack the consciousness. But, Iron Maiden = Easily the greatest Heavy Metal band in music history.
No band writes such depth in their lyrics of the overall human condition with such intelligence & wisdom, bringing light, combined with such beautiful depth, grace, and power in their music. Absolute masters of their craft and creativity. They are untouchable. All you have to do is read Bruce's published books to see these guys have tons of direct Spiritual experiences. These guys know truth and fully know and see right through the lies of society's game, and they see right through all the lies of Religion (and when I say religion I am talking about the lies churches teach, not true Spirituality, as spirituality and religion are nothing alike). Maiden is so much better than Metallica in so many ways. Much better musicians, better singer, far better songwriting. Much more melodic. More "pure" energy. Have almost twice the albums of Metallica, far more longevity and have so many more great songs, and Maiden never wrote a bad album ( you could say they had a sub-par album in the 90's, but remember that was with half the band missing doing their solo stuff).
Metallica never really had much to say, while Maiden has so much to say that allow you to really question so many things. Maiden never sold out by producing garbage albums like Metallica's St Anger to appease popularity and the current music "trends" of society, that always pass away, are totally meaningless, and are fake anyways., And you definitely won't see Iron Maiden prostituting themselves in silly reality TV shows like Metallica and KISS have done for years. It's just not Maiden's style.
They have absolutely no interest in being "celebrities", or any gossip/drama. Drawing attention away from them because as they said, the music is about much more than them. Which is why they have a mascot "eddie" on their album covers, so people focus on eddie and not the "images" of the band members. Having Eddie (which is just a representation of the blind ego-based mind) leaves them alone to be themselves and they don't have to have any fake image of being "rock stars". As Bruce once said, We can continue making music when we're old and ugly and just slap Eddie on the album cover and nobody will mind. And it is brilliant.
Inner light doesn't need the spotlight.
Maiden always stayed true and original. Always timeless. Eternal. Nobody sounds like them and nobody ever will. Nobody will again write such important and complete concept albums with such atmosphere like Somewhere in Time and Seventh son, with that super high-level musicianship and genius bass and guitar work (and no band introduced synthesizers into their music with such seamless genius as Maiden did on those 2 albums),, as the concepts of those albums are vital to every human being and Spirit- realizing the illusion of time, and seventh's son concept of realizing the illusion of duality,.
The beauty and truths of 1984's " Powerslave" album with it's beautiful egyptian theme, and the striking messages that are right in the title track itself (Powerslave). How humans are slaves to death (in other words, slaves to the illusions of Time), therefore slaves to needing power or any control or judgment, the cause of all our deep inner separations, our greed and selfishness and total blindness, because of the Ego false-self.
All of our problems come from our absolute stupidity of fear of death, as humans are totally separated from Truths of Spirit and Soul. The more one fears death, the more one is fearful of life and fearful of fully receiving and giving love. Truth is always paradoxical, as at the speed of light there is no time, it's the Eternal Now of presence. In other words no duality of Good and evil, but only "unity" consciousness of light of the infinite Oneness of the Universe, as you are the Universe ( it's not a coincidence that Maiden's new album has a song titled "Speed of Light").
And it's not a coincidence that "Somewhere in Time" was their next album after they produced one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time - Powerslave. And who else in heavy metal at the time had the courage to write long 14-minute masterpieces like Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to close out an album?? The answer is nobody else, only Maiden, because it was unheard of before that. And their new album, they just wrote an 18-minute masterpiece to close that album with most of the band over 60. Again, IN-tegrity. Nobody else had a 7-album run like Maiden's first 7 albums. Some bands may put out a couple nice albums in their prime and whisper away into the night, but Maiden put together 7 fantastic albums in a row. And the fact they put out so much great material of those 7 monumental albums in just an 8 year span is unfathomable. Magical.
They don't write about meaningless sleaze as other bands do, with the exception of the song "22 Acacia Avenue" in their early days (although the end of that song does have a positive message), and the band said they regretted it, and why they very rarely play it live, even though it is a very good song and fans always ask them to play it live. Speaking of Live, their live albums are excellent. You simply cannot find bands with live albums that can approach Maidens live recordings, and in ways better than the studio albums, and that speaks volumes.
And at 60 years of age and 40 years into their careers, they are still pumping out great new material. Unlike Metallica where their last 4 albums they were just looking for something to click with no purpose or direction, just poking around aimlessly, it's blatantly obvious. Just 15 years into Metallica's career they were long done producing shameful music with albums like Reload and St Anger. While Maiden, always progressing itself, yet staying true to their form and originality at the same time, 20+ years into their careers came out with a very good album 'Brave New world' . The band quietly laughing at anyone who thought they were done, with a nice tip of the hat to the legendary psychedelic medicine visionary Alduous Huxley. Many songs on that album like "Dream of Mirrors", and "Ghost of the Navigator" that metallica can't touch.
If you want to see what a fraud Metallica has always been, a simple search for Grunge "Metallica's shadiest secrets" will do the trick.
And years later, Iron Maiden 25 to 35 years into their careers wrote and produced so many great songs like "The Nomad", " Dance of Death", "The Red and the Black, "The Talisman", "If Eternity should fail", The Man who would be King", "Paschendale", "Brighter than a Thousands Suns", "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", "Lord of Light, Isle of Avalon", "The Legacy", "The Longest Day", "Montsegur", "Starblind"", "Out of the Shadows", "The Book of Souls", "Journeyman (and Journeyman being my personal Ayahuasca journey tribute song :-)" .... "Rainmaker", "Coming Home", "For the Greater Good of God", just to name a few songs that metallica hasn't come close to achieving in their mid to later years. Cliff Burton was the heart of Metallica and by far their best and most talented musician. Burton was to Metallica what Steve Harris is to Iron Maiden. Steve Harris is widely considered to be the best heavy metal bassist of all-time, and if Burton were still alive, he'd be right there with Harris, that's how good Burton was.
Nobody in Metallica comes close to Burton's immense talent he had as a musician. When Burton passed away in 1986 Metallica went downhill as they lost their true backbone and juice. And they replaced him with mere hired guns to control, just a hired body to fill in, not to have as a real contributor. But let's face it, a major part of Metallica's popularity is just because of the label that they are an 'american band'.
Metallica is always covering Maiden songs in their concerts, and they've played multiple Maiden songs in their concerts as Metallica was influenced by Iron Maiden (All you have to hear is Lars Ulrich grovel at Iron Maiden like a lost puppy during Maidens 2008 tour) . But you don't see Maiden covering Metallica songs.
Because Maiden IS Maiden.
Even if you split the band members into doing solo work, James Hetfield couldn't come close to writing such a beautiful solo album for himself as Bruce did with "The Chemical Wedding", and what a masterpiece album that is. Why don't more people know about Bruce's solo work? who knows, but people are missing out. One thing is for sure, there is so much more love and MYSTERY in Iron Maiden's music. And so much more meaning. And they always truly progressed.
Not many people understand the deep Spiritual meanings in Iron Maiden's music, or understand the full concepts of their albums because they're quite deep, mysterious, wonderous, and absolutely magnificent. But once you grow Spiritually to higher levels of Consciousness, Maiden can bring you to weeping tears with their beauty and Truths in their music. Metallica doesn't have that depth, beauty, or power.
Real Power is so much more than just playing fast and heavy. Iron Maiden is so much more than just a great heavy metal band, Maiden is much more than the music. As when it comes to the greatest in anything, there is always Much More than meets the eyes (and ears). Eye love you Iron Maiden!!. Gratitude !! Shanti OM . Namaste!
Robert Demeter and I though I was long winded ! Well said my brother, well said.. very true
Flat Earth, All confusion and sadness and pain and suffering comes from the Ego-thinking mind. All thoughts are lies. Hence why satan is nothing more than fancy word-play for the ego mind. Hence Iron Maiden's " Piece of Mind" album cover from 1983. As "you" don't exist. The "I" is total illusion, and the divine light of Heavy Metal music always told you that, and very explicitly. Do yourself a big favor and read all the replies from my wife Simione and eye , our replies to Chris Pinto at the youtube video titled " Tool Fear Innoculum Special Edition Opening and Exploration" .. And read all our posts, there are about 70 replies there, and click all the links to our posts. And you will see in striking detail how all government and religion is a total lie, and how Heavy Metal music always told you that from the beginning. As Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is Gods music. Always has been and always will be ;')
Again, iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind" album cover from 1983 tells you everything. Eddie is nothing more than a metaphorical representation of the Ego mind, as who the person thinks they are and all their beliefs are total PRISONS. The mind knows nothing. As everything in society and religion is a lie, as it's all illuminati-government manufactured. Ask yourself, since when did the government buy the Earth for you to pay them so they can tell you how to live here ? Exactly, they never bought the earth, it's all a total sham.
Satan (or devil) is nothing more than fancy word-play for thoughts of the ego thinking mind, as all beliefs and all thoughts are outwardly ( not inwardly), therefore all thoughts and all beliefs are all lies and illusions when it comes to infinite spiritual truths.
Don't forget to read the tombstone on Maiden's LIVE AFTER DEATH album cover from 1985 , death is total illusion. People miss that just as people miss the 3rd eye Pineal Gland that is depicted in detail just below the moonlight on Maidens "Somewhere in Time" album cover. Look at the top of the building just to the right under the moonlight. The pineal gland 3rd eye within you that you must activate - Spiritual Vision.
Just as Eddie is stricken activating the 3rd eye Pineal gland on Live After Death's album cover.
The pineal gland 3rd eye and our chakra system is all over the Powerslave album (1984) insert as well.
Simply listen to Iron Maiden's song titled "Revelations", the song is about activating the 7 chakras, the venom up the spine by facing your Dark - Ness, as all spiritual teachings are in the dark.
Activating all 7 chakras within you along the Spine (via Entheogen plants) is the only way to Spiritual Ascension, as all religions since the first religion the Rig Veda of India come from Alchemy (Entheogens) , in other words, Shamanism. Hence why Bruce Dickinson speaks of that through his solo albums, for example his song " The Alchemist" ( which eye have uploaded on my YT channel).
Gods music.
Period.
The greatest Rock N' Roll bands ALWAYS spoke of Entheogen plants, such as Black Sabbath's song "Behind the Wall of Sleep." So then explain WTF are people believing ?! As all religions reference Entheogen plants since the first religion the Rig Veda of India, there are hundreds of books written that prove it. This is something churches will never tell you as government and modern religion is nothing more than a fake tool to control the masses. All religions reference the 7-chakras that you must activate WITHIN you, which is the ONLY way to Spiritual Ascension, which is exactly what entheogen plants activate within us.
Hence why every religion on the planet states - " The kingdom of Heaven and God is WITHIN You".
As all religions come from Shamanism at their roots. But religions have been completely manipulated since, by man's stupid need for "control".
But you are terrified of going deep within millions of times deeper than your Ego-mind wants to go via Entheogen plants, because there is endless darkness and hells you have to face.. That only you created.
Words like satan are nothing more than fancy word-play for thoughts and beliefs, in other words your ego thinking Mind. Enemies do not exist in reality, you are always and forever your own worst enemy, lifetime through lifetime through many lifetimes.
You will reincarnate in your next life to exactly that which yoi hate the most, as that is how the infinite intelligence of the Universe and Spirit/Nature teaches.
But of course, you absolutely hate human spiritual ascension, as it's a reflection of your hatred for humanity. As you hate yourself.
Atheists hate direct spiritual experiences, just like a christian hates direct spiritual experiences . Through the devil which is nothing more than your EGO thinking blind mind.
The fact that fake society tells you that christians and atheists are opposites is laughable. Hilarious !! As they are entirely the same.
Hence why both hate deep questions, just as government hates deep questions. As you are just like the government in reality and created by government as everything you believe and think, they told you to believe and think.
I have listened to Iron Maiden from their first album to their last. There are many great songs from that time frame. This song right hear, is one that I have listened to more than any other song of theirs. This is a classic.
From iron maiden to senjutsu?
I agree with you. Especially the live version
⁷⁹9⁹⁹⁹⁰
It is amazing how Iron Maiden can provide so consistent high quality. Even in 2020's they are as good as ever.
I have tears in my eyes... There will never be a band like Iron Maiden again. Simply phenomenal!!!
You can just tell that this song was made to be performed live.
I swear there is no other fanbase as passionate and loyal as Maiden’s fanbase
Yeah book of souls is there best album for me hell most of 2015 is peoples best work aside from film but video games and music at there best I bought this album once I finished Undertale because I thought it was a prequel of it lol yes I was that dumb not checking the dates
And I truly mostly agree with you, Maiden fans are far and wide. But the lengths that Phish fans go is truly astounding to me. But, admittedly they are not as big of a fan base, that’s for sure.
I'd love to dispute that but I can't
Rime of the ancient marier
I don't know, there releases are always dividing fans.
Somewhere around 9:54, this is a band that KNOWS they are delivering a live performance for the ages--- the reactions by Adrian, Janick, and Dave are absolutely killer.
I never get tired of this song! It's incredible how Iron Maiden keeps getting better and better over the years. 9:27 is EPIC! my favorite part of the song. I love Janick's energy!!
I couldn't agree more with you. And I also always come back here. This song is epic. Kinda underrated also.🤘🇧🇷
Literally just forwarded this song to one of my friends and told him to play it at 9:25! Funny to see this comment now Haha This solo gives me all kinds of feelings. MASTERPIECE 🔥
So much Clansman-vibe in this part
Love these big bombastic epics of theirs. That instrumental is epic.
A DEMONIC MASTERPIECE.....a jewel in their discography, and THIS is all the proof you need, if ANYONE ever left a legacy it will be the true metal ICONS, Iron Maiden, comparable to none, absolutely none !!!!
1 million % agree with you!
Quite possibly THE best band in not just rock music history but in the whole of history as humankind knows?
UP THE IRONS!!!
Stuart Jeffries definitely, theese incredible guys have simply a genre of their own....
@@susannewilliamsson8339
I think 'a genre of their own' as you've just described it is the best way to describe Maiden that I've ever heard, each member a musical legend that's for sure!
They're my favourite band and the other 2 bands in my top 3 are Motorhead and AC/DC......with a top 3 like that of my favourite bands theirs never a dull moment in my house and my hifi speakers never get much rest! Lol
@@lordyoda8555 yes most of their songs are amazing but they all seem to belong to their own genre, every incredible band does
The older they get, the better they are.
It's incredible after all these years to keep such a lighting flame.
Their happyness and joy to play live on stage
Franck9476 no it´s not incredible in any way, you´r talking about the masters of music, any genre, any era, any time...
Like a fine wine
This song should be played on the Future Past tour!!!!! One of the best Maiden songs EVER!!!
The ONE band I grew up with for 40+ years. They won't quit or slow down. Like others have done.
Adrian's solos are just mindblowing -WoW !!
Agreed, he has so much emotion in his solos.
Adrian is so fucking beautiful. No words are needed. Period
My first time getting my ass kicked by Adrian was the Song "Stranger in a Strange Land" back in 1986 as a teen. Adrian wrote that song and all guitar parts. Eye listened to Maiden since 1983's Piece of Mind album. But that solo and guitar work from "Stranger" ripped me apart to pieces and everything Iron Maiden opened up for me. Loads of spiritual truths on that album and all through their fantastic and timeless discography of albums if you simply allow yourself to stop listening ( the lies of effort) and learn how to Hear ( to let go of your ego mind) :-)
Especially during their '80's heyday.
PowerSlave/Caught Somewhere in Time/Heaven can Wait/Wasted Years/Hallowed be thy Name still blows my mind today!
9:52 I cried tears of joy
There's no band quite like these guys. UP THE IRONS!!!!
Flint and Steel and there never will be.
Oh shit. Me too
The whirling Janick! I'm so glad they kept him even after Adrian came back. He brings a ton of energy and personality to the band.
Definitely! It’s a shame that people hate on him so much.😕
@@Heptaerna0527 There is way too much hate in the world! Big love to all my brothers and sisters in Maiden Land!
Wow still sound great! One day back in the late 1970's I came home and saw this cassette tape with this cool picture on it. Iron Maiden Killers. I shared a room with my older brother. This was in California. I put it in and was BLOWN AWAY! Ive been a fan ever since
Magnificent. The guitarists are incredible. Way out there. Anyone who doesn't think Yanick Gers isn't there, go to hell. Janick is amazing. Adrian and Dave are amazing. Together, they are Iron Maiden...
Gers is always the permanent guest in maiden for hard core fan's..me included! Cheer's.
what can I say, Janick has been my favourite from the start, and he always will be ........
He brings an energy and enthusiasm to all shows. Love him
@@lindameow4348 so do I, believe me...
You rock...@@susannewilliamsson8339
The instrumental part in the second half of the song should be a track on its own. Great harmonies, stunning guitar solos and precise hammering from Mr. McBrain. Brilliant!
exactly.... i love so much this part
Toda la canción suena en armonía... suben y bajan las vibraciones con subliminal perfección...
I could be wrong but I think it is the only time all three guitarists have played the lead at the same time with no rhythm guitarist. It is just the three leads and Steve on the bass.
Yes Sir, i 'm in love with the second one (part)
Could have been another masterpiece of an instrumental song after so many years! Still, because I know what's coming, I go through the first part of the song just to get to the second part of the song :) This cut reminds me a bit of the song "Virus".
Can’t quit this song halfway, epic - beginning to end.
Every time I hear the parts from 9:27 onward, I remind myself why Iron Maiden is my favorite band. How the hell can you still write songs like this after almost 40 years in the business?!
Same comment but my favorite part starts at 9m00s... I dont know another band that can reinvent itself after so many years and come out with such epic songs ! (maybe Rush can qualify as this with Clockwork Angels but that's another story...;-) )
Agreed, that part is so fucking epic :D And the energy of the band is pure magic!
Andrei Tise because they are simply the best musicians out there, their musical skills are overwhelming !!
best part for sure
James Thwaite exactly, I´ve always said their music since that particular album have become more ravishing, captivating, complexed and sublime, and I honestly think Janick is mostly responsible for that, all theese soft, gentle intros and outros, mainly on accoustic guitar, the long sprawling progressive tracks. I honestly think we can thank Janick for most of it, I love and admire the guy to bits.....
I listen to them since 9 years old. I’m 42 and still shiver my arms. Long live Iron Maiden!!!!
Bruce is the only man on planet Earth who approaches perfection. Excellent in everything he does. Thank you Iron Maiden for being a part of my life.
*BRAZIL LOVES IRON MAIDEN*
This song has became one of my favourites
Same here
It's total guitar porn. I get the feeling they put this song in for the sheer joy of playing it, you can see how much they are all enjoying themselves. I love it.
@@lukedaniel7669 total guitar porn i'm liking that expression!!
Ditto!!
one word: masterpiece
Two words: *EPIC MASTERPIECE*
It has strong moments but also weak boring moments in my opinion.. The instrumental parts and the gallop towards the end though is absolutely sublime.
Maiden is a "Shamanic band" of infinite Truths and love and light. That nobody else can see and understand. Only UNLESS you have Be-come " it " and totally transformed your-Self to infinite Truths of Soul and Spirit in higher dimensions of consciousness can you possibly ever totally understand the beauty of Iron Maiden. Because, "If it's not Shamanic, it's not Organic. " Not many people have the ability to understand Iron Maiden, as most people live in the lies of duality of good and evil of the mind and are just walking "reactions", and lack the consciousness. But, Iron Maiden = Easily the greatest Heavy Metal band in music history.
No band writes such depth in their lyrics of the overall human condition with such intelligence & wisdom, bringing light, combined with such beautiful depth, grace, and power in their music. Absolute masters of their craft and creativity. They are untouchable. All you have to do is read Bruce's published books to see these guys have tons of direct Spiritual experiences. These guys know truth and fully know and see right through the lies of society's game, and they see right through all the lies of Religion (and when I say religion I am talking about the lies churches teach, not true Spirituality, as spirituality and religion are nothing alike). Maiden is so much better than Metallica in so many ways. Much better musicians, better singer, far better songwriting. Much more melodic. More "pure" energy. Have almost twice the albums of Metallica, far more longevity and have so many more great songs, and Maiden never wrote a bad album ( you could say they had a sub-par album in the 90's, but remember that was with half the band missing doing their solo stuff).
Metallica never really had much to say, while Maiden has so much to say that allow you to really question so many things. Maiden never sold out by producing garbage albums like Metallica's St Anger to appease popularity and the current music "trends" of society, that always pass away, are totally meaningless, and are fake anyways., And you definitely won't see Iron Maiden prostituting themselves in silly reality TV shows like Metallica and KISS have done for years. It's just not Maiden's style.
They have absolutely no interest in being "celebrities", or any gossip/drama. Drawing attention away from them because as they said, the music is about much more than them. Which is why they have a mascot "eddie" on their album covers, so people focus on eddie and not the "images" of the band members. Having Eddie (which is just a representation of the blind ego-based mind) leaves them alone to be themselves and they don't have to have any fake image of being "rock stars". As Bruce once said, We can continue making music when we're old and ugly and just slap Eddie on the album cover and nobody will mind. And it is brilliant.
Inner light doesn't need the spotlight.
Maiden always stayed true and original. Always timeless. Eternal. Nobody sounds like them and nobody ever will. Nobody will again write such important and complete concept albums with such atmosphere like Somewhere in Time and Seventh son, with that super high-level musicianship and genius bass and guitar work (and no band introduced synthesizers into their music with such seamless genius as Maiden did on those 2 albums),, as the concepts of those albums are vital to every human being and Spirit- realizing the illusion of time, and seventh's son concept of realizing the illusion of duality,.
The beauty and truths of 1984's " Powerslave" album with it's beautiful egyptian theme, and the striking messages that are right in the title track itself (Powerslave). How humans are slaves to death (in other words, slaves to the illusions of Time), therefore slaves to needing power or any control or judgment, the cause of all our deep inner separations, our greed and selfishness and total blindness, because of the Ego false-self.
All of our problems come from our absolute stupidity of fear of death, as humans are totally separated from Truths of Spirit and Soul. The more one fears death, the more one is fearful of life and fearful of fully receiving and giving love. Truth is always paradoxical, as at the speed of light there is no time, it's the Eternal Now of presence. In other words no duality of Good and evil, but only "unity" consciousness of light of the infinite Oneness of the Universe, as you are the Universe ( it's not a coincidence that Maiden's new album has a song titled "Speed of Light").
And it's not a coincidence that "Somewhere in Time" was their next album after they produced one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time - Powerslave. And who else in heavy metal at the time had the courage to write long 14-minute masterpieces like Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to close out an album?? The answer is nobody else, only Maiden, because it was unheard of before that. And their new album, they just wrote an 18-minute masterpiece to close that album with most of the band over 60. Again, IN-tegrity. Nobody else had a 7-album run like Maiden's first 7 albums. Some bands may put out a couple nice albums in their prime and whisper away into the night, but Maiden put together 7 fantastic albums in a row. And the fact they put out so much great material of those 7 monumental albums in just an 8 year span is unfathomable. Magical.
They don't write about meaningless sleaze as other bands do, with the exception of the song "22 Acacia Avenue" in their early days (although the end of that song does have a positive message), and the band said they regretted it, and why they very rarely play it live, even though it is a very good song and fans always ask them to play it live. Speaking of Live, their live albums are excellent. You simply cannot find bands with live albums that can approach Maidens live recordings, and in ways better than the studio albums, and that speaks volumes.
And at 60 years of age and 40 years into their careers, they are still pumping out great new material. Unlike Metallica where their last 4 albums they were just looking for something to click with no purpose or direction, just poking around aimlessly, it's blatantly obvious. Just 15 years into Metallica's career they were long done producing shameful music with albums like Reload and St Anger. While Maiden, always progressing itself, yet staying true to their form and originality at the same time, 20+ years into their careers came out with a very good album 'Brave New world' . The band quietly laughing at anyone who thought they were done, with a nice tip of the hat to the legendary psychedelic medicine visionary Alduous Huxley. Many songs on that album like "Dream of Mirrors", and "Ghost of the Navigator" that metallica can't touch.
If you want to see what a fraud Metallica has always been, a simple search for Grunge "Metallica's shadiest secrets" will do the trick.
And years later, Iron Maiden 25 to 35 years into their careers wrote and produced so many great songs like "The Nomad", " Dance of Death", "The Red and the Black, "The Talisman", "If Eternity should fail", The Man who would be King", "Paschendale", "Brighter than a Thousands Suns", "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", "Lord of Light, Isle of Avalon", "The Legacy", "The Longest Day", "Montsegur", "Starblind"", "Out of the Shadows", "The Book of Souls", "Journeyman (and Journeyman being my personal Ayahuasca journey tribute song :-)" .... "Rainmaker", "Coming Home", "For the Greater Good of God", just to name a few songs that metallica hasn't come close to achieving in their mid to later years. Cliff Burton was the heart of Metallica and by far their best and most talented musician. Burton was to Metallica what Steve Harris is to Iron Maiden. Steve Harris is widely considered to be the best heavy metal bassist of all-time, and if Burton were still alive, he'd be right there with Harris, that's how good Burton was.
Nobody in Metallica comes close to Burton's immense talent he had as a musician. When Burton passed away in 1986 Metallica went downhill as they lost their true backbone and juice. And they replaced him with mere hired guns to control, just a hired body to fill in, not to have as a real contributor. But let's face it, a major part of Metallica's popularity is just because of the label that they are an 'american band'.
Metallica is always covering Maiden songs in their concerts, and they've played multiple Maiden songs in their concerts as Metallica was influenced by Iron Maiden (All you have to hear is Lars Ulrich grovel at Iron Maiden like a lost puppy during Maidens 2008 tour) . But you don't see Maiden covering Metallica songs.
Because Maiden IS Maiden.
Even if you split the band members into doing solo work, James Hetfield couldn't come close to writing such a beautiful solo album for himself as Bruce did with "The Chemical Wedding", and what a masterpiece album that is. Why don't more people know about Bruce's solo work? who knows, but people are missing out. One thing is for sure, there is so much more love and MYSTERY in Iron Maiden's music. And so much more meaning. And they always truly progressed.
Not many people understand the deep Spiritual meanings in Iron Maiden's music, or understand the full concepts of their albums because they're quite deep, mysterious, wonderous, and absolutely magnificent. But once you grow Spiritually to higher levels of Consciousness, Maiden can bring you to weeping tears with their beauty and Truths in their music. Metallica doesn't have that depth, beauty, or power.
Real Power is so much more than just playing fast and heavy. Iron Maiden is so much more than just a great heavy metal band, Maiden is much more than the music. As when it comes to the greatest in anything, there is always Much More than meets the eyes (and ears). Eye love you Iron Maiden!!. Gratitude !! Shanti OM . Namaste !
Maiden's "Piece of Mind" album cover from 1983 tells you everything. Eddie is nothing more than a metaphorical representation of the Ego mind, as who the person thinks they are and all their beliefs are total PRISONS. The mind knows nothing. As everything in society and religion is a lie, as it's all illuminati-government manufactured. Ask yourself, since when did the government buy the Earth for you to pay them so they can tell you how to live here ? Exactly, they never bought the earth, it's all a total sham.
Satan (or devil) is nothing more than fancy word-play for he ego thinking mind, as all beliefs and all thoughts are outwardly ( not inwardly), therefore all thoughts and all beliefs are all lies and illusions.
Don't forget to read the tombstone on Maiden's LIVE AFTER DEATH album cover from 1985 , death is total illusion. People miss that just as people miss the 3rd eye Pineal Gland that is depicted in detail just below the moonlight on Maidens "Somewhere in Time" album cover. Look at the top of the building just to the right under the moonlight. The pineal gland 3rd eye within you that you must activate - Spiritual Vision. Just as Eddie is stricken activating the 3rd eye Pineal gland on Live After Death's album cover.
The pineal gland 3rd eye and our chakra system is all over the Powerslave album insert as well.
Activating all 7 chakras within you ( via Entheogen plants) is the only way to Spiritual Ascension, as all religions since the first religion the Rig Veda of India come from Alchemy (Entheogens) , in other words, Shamanism. Hence why Bruce Dickinson speaks of that through his solo albums, for example his song " The Alchemist" ( which eye have uploaded on my YT channel).
Nature is my church, and Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is my religion :-)
@@robertdemeter5793 best song i ever saw live it shits all over classics like Child in time stairway to heaven black Sabbath
Thinking about how Steve Harris could’ve became a soccer player instead of forming Iron Maiden,
Janick Gers could’ve been let go after Adrian came back,
Bruce could’ve never sang again after his cancer,
Adrian could’ve never came back,
Dave could’ve left the band at any time he felt they were going down hill,
Nicko would’ve never joined maiden.
That’s a world i would not want to live in. Thank you Maiden for being the best band of all time.
Damn
Fantastic post that celebrates the brilliance of all Maiden members and the circumstances that gave them to us. Cheers!
Whats soccer
oh yeah the only football game in the world where you cant tackle anyone
And our mothers could have swallowed us
Miracles that will not be repeated in human history
Few bands have consistently given such quality without selling out. Maiden have been cranking it out for decades and in my view have just released some of their best work. They have matured. They have grown. Their complexity has increased. Just like their fan base, as we grow older and develop as people so they continue to give us quality music that remains true to their roots, but has developed as well. Saw them live with the Book of Souls tour and it exceeded my substantial expectations. That doesn't happen often!
Quality? It is crap, happy go lucky "celtish crap riff", same shit they've reproduced on Senjutsu on various long shitty repetitive songs.
3:00 Bruce can't fucking sing, and it is Gers that does that ridiculous solo-melody-shit of main melody on Bruce, that fucking prick!
@@rabarebra Sorry you had such a lousy day. Have a beer

@@CM_CHESS Didn't know I was a celebrity in the YT comment sections. Thanks! ;)
Dude, that's not a masterpiece it's a legendary one
Adrian second solo... masterpiece
Adrian's entire career...masterpiece
Paweł Wiśniewski I think that on all of his solos. Dave too. But one of the great joys of life is hearing a Smith solo on a new release for the first time.

I actually get chills from this watching it on youtube, not even being there live. So beautiful. I love how much fun they are having playing it, too. Iron Maiden is a goddamn worldwide treasure.
My favourite band in the 80s and still as good as ever if not better, love you guys.❤
Damn this is about to make me cry. Iron Maiden and the fans are so passionate about the music.
Yes...Yes we are 🤘😎🤘
Yes, my bro
How could we not be? They put so much love and energy in their music
When the Harmonies kick in the tears follow
is harris human? because i cant understand how can he write this masterpiece after 40 years making all the other masterpiece, there is no bassist like he, not only because of the riifts, because that bass and how he plays it, is just wow... i cant describe the monster that he his, and in fact he is maiden, we all know that.
He has good genes I guess
Harris es Dios
Amen!
Sarin tos He´s actually the metal God, and he´s songs and lyrics always touches heaven......
Probobaly the same bass still after all these years
I love long songs by Iron Maiden. So much diverse instrumental parts and rhythms.
Where is every body this is a master piece !
6:43
Adrian, Janick and Dave are _all_ guitar gods!
YES
WickedKnightAlbel ultimate truth !!
And steve the bass god
Martijn de Groot he´s the bass God that´s true, but NOTHING of this had never been possible without him....he´s also the mind and soul of metal music, aswell as the founder of our mighty Iron Maiden........
INDIA MONI LA CHUPA VERGA SUPERDOTADA the dream team, and the EPITOME of metal, NO doubt what so ever !!
These solo's make me happy and give me energy
Oh yeah bro! Same here!
One of Maiden's best
Musical geniuses they are a cut above the others
Dave Murray... Legend! The way he seamlessly swaps between him Les Paul and Strat multiple times in this video without dropping a note is amazing!!! ;-)
INDEED!!!! \o/
Only dave can do such magic tricks
Dave is the only member who appears on every album together with founder Steve. So Maiden has his strong influence .
I just noticed that. Not that it really matters but interesting. UP THE IRONS !!
Hahaha
Apparently these are edited from a mishmash of different live performances of the same song.
I cry with pure joy every time I listen to this.SIMPLY WOW!!!!
Same , Maidens Harmonies man, they are so beauty
me too man, I dont cry for a maiden song since 7th son album
I’m with you on that one brother
They always look like they're having such fun up there together. That's what it's all about
That's what makes you understand when some people say "Maiden is Maiden"! There are no words to describe them, it's just Maiden! They became an adjective!
Best description of Maiden ever
The studio version is good and all, but this version completely blows it out of the water.
Bruce just his that last "I NEED SOMEBODY TO SAVE ME!!" A lot harder
This is OUTSTANDING! A song from the newest album that has immediately become one of my favourites! This song shows that Maiden write true masterpieces no matter what time it is. They never stop developing! And those thrilling solos, Bruce's vocals.... So much power, so many positive emotions, the highest level any band could ever achieve! Maiden's three guitar attack will never be beaten by anybody. Nobody will ever tell me that classic heavy metal music is sad, depressing, demonic, stupid. This song is the best evidence for it! And those wonderful progressive elements are simply the icing on the cake. Up the Irons :D
The first seal of Revelation...
Ive beeng listening since 1982!!!!Iron Maiden - Rock Forever!!!!! From RUSSIA!!!!Respect To Funs!!!!
What an incredible amount of energy this band puts out.
Even BETTER that teh version in Studio..!!!!!!!!!!
Good tight bands always sound better live
their phenomenal stage presence and magical charisma doesn´t come through in studio recordings, since I´ve finally seen them live I promise, when the guys entering the stage: a tremendous force of nature suddenly is let loose....to see them live is just....I don´t have words to descibe it, because there are no words great enough....
Yep
Siempre es mejor en vivo...le agregan energía y frecuencia q mejoran la canción 100%....
Maiden have made some really catchy metal over the years. Dickenson rulez, too.
My favorite song from the " Book Of Souls" album.
Me too
Book of Souls - Empire of Clouds
Live in Chapter - The Red and the black
Iron Maiden has helped me at various times in my life when MY SOUL was hurting. They have been my Angels guiding me when I needed guidance the most. To meet them would be a Honor to me above any words I can write. And I write alot...
You can tell they love to play live for their fans and for the sheer joy it brings to the band. Never have I seen a band so happy to be performing, it’s so clear they work brilliantly together. More I listen to them the more I love them.
Iron Maiden is beyond everything. Its one of the few things that make you proud to be human.
Why the blokes from Iron Maiden have not been knighted by their sovereign I cannot comprehend. 40 years of kicking ass should get them all a sword to the shoulder.
An MBE or OBE at the very least for them all would be well deserved , sportsmen/ women get them for less .
Rumor has it that they tried to knight Bruce twice, but he swiftly dispatched them with fencing skills, thinking he was under attack. There is a song called "Flash of the Blade" detailing the incident on the album Powerslave.
+Pedro Reinaldo The Hound: Fuck the queen. Fuck the white walkers. Up the Irons!
I only worship Iron Maiden. The British sovereignty can go & get f*cked
The Guitologist it’s because they don’t care much for royalty. Never have and never will. They actually earned their money but have remained common folk.
My favorite Book of Souls song!
The best thing is… the more you listen to it, you are more addicted to it, and you appreciate it more.
See you in Warsaw 2022!
Iron Maiden are one of the few bands that can perform a song live, and it sounds almost just like the studio version. This band plays so tight! They play with precision! You rarely hear a wayward note from a guitar, bass, or a mistimed drum beat with this band! They are professional musicians! This song is my favorite from The Book of Souls. It is always awesome to see them smiling when they perform in concert! They genuinely have fun on stage! They are awesome! UP THE IRONS!!
highlight of my life was seeing them play this song live, always smiling and having fun, in brisbane all 4 lined up to do these solos pitch perfect
i went to the book of souls concert and it was amazing
This song reminds me of the rime of the ancient mariner. Both masterpieces
Rime is actually longer by exactly one second. Lol
@@CaptainDeadeye_enderzombie_688 actually is 5 seconds longer🙄

Metallica is always covering Maiden songs in their concerts, and they've played multiple Maiden songs in their concerts as Metallica was influenced by Iron Maiden (All you have to hear is Lars Ulrich grovel at Iron Maiden like a lost puppy during Maidens 2008 tour) . But you don't see Maiden covering Metallica songs.
Because Maiden IS Maiden.
Even if you split the band members into doing solo work, James Hetfield couldn't come close to writing such a beautiful solo album for himself as Bruce did with "The Chemical Wedding", and what a masterpiece album that is. Why don't more people know about Bruce's solo work? who knows, but people are missing out. One thing is for sure, there is so much more love and MYSTERY in Iron Maiden's music. And so much more meaning. And they always truly progressed.
Not many people understand the deep Spiritual meanings in Iron Maiden's music, or understand the full concepts of their albums because they're quite deep, mysterious, wonderous, and absolutely magnificent. But once you grow Spiritually to higher levels of Consciousness, Maiden can bring you to weeping tears with their beauty and Truths in their music. Metallica doesn't have that depth, beauty, or power.
Real Power is so much more than just playing fast and heavy. Iron Maiden is so much more than just a great heavy metal band, Maiden is much more than the music. As when it comes to the greatest in anything, there is always Much More than meets the eyes (and ears). Eye love you Iron Maiden!!. Gratitude !! Shanti OM . Namaste !!
Maiden's "Piece of Mind" album cover from 1983 tells you everything. Eddie is nothing more than a metaphorical representation of the Ego mind, as who the person thinks they are and all their beliefs are total PRISONS. The mind knows nothing. As everything in society and religion is a lie, as it's all illuminati-government manufactured. Ask yourself, since when did the government buy the Earth for you to pay them so they can tell you how to live here ? Exactly, they never bought the earth, it's all a total sham.
Satan (or devil) is nothing more than fancy word-play for he ego thinking mind, as all beliefs and all thoughts are outwardly ( not inwardly), therefore all thoughts and all beliefs are all lies and illusions.
Don't forget to read the tombstone on Maiden's LIVE AFTER DEATH album cover from 1985 , death is total illusion. People miss that just as people miss the 3rd eye Pineal Gland that is depicted in detail just below the moonlight on Maidens "Somewhere in Time" album cover. Look at the top of the building just to the right under the moonlight. The pineal gland 3rd eye within you that you must activate - Spiritual Vision. Just as Eddie is stricken activating the 3rd eye Pineal gland on Live After Death's album cover.
The pineal gland 3rd eye and our chakra system is all over the Powerslave album insert as well.
Activating all 7 chakras within you ( via Entheogen plants) is the only way to Spiritual Ascension, as all religions since the first religion the Rig Veda of India come from Alchemy (Entheogens) , in other words, Shamanism. Hence why Bruce Dickinson speaks of that through his solo albums, for example his song " The Alchemist" ( which eye have uploaded on my YT channel).
Nature is my church, and Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is my religion :-)
What he said. (points)
I want Iron Maiden to play even when all turn 100....their music turn a dead alive ...every member is so unique ....and Bruce's voice is a lead guitar by itself 😘😘😘😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕺🕺🕺🕺💃💃💃💃💕💕💖💖🎶🎶🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
If you are reading in 2021. This is what we called a band.
Unbelievable, those guys have their own league. It s impossible to compare them with anyone else! I don t got words to say how good they are!!!!
Just for kicks, I looked up some other bands that are still playing after 20+ years. One of them I found was Whitesnake. Coverdale needs to hang it up 10 years ago; he is DONE. And, predictably, no original band members. I wouldn't think of even cranking the car to go to a Whitesnake 'concert' knowing that Maiden is laying this down and making it look easy.
Jeculet You know my love and admiration towards theese guys are from here to eternity, and from the bottom of my heart I do agree, and this is the reason why I call them the Gods of metal, they are outstanding !!!
How the hell do these guys continue to pump out these masterpieces with gorgeous melodies and guitar harmonies? Mind blowing!
Because they are GODS no other explanation
@@epnlvr9790 literally there is no other explanation, it is not humanly possible
Pure talent who love what they do
The new album is incredible!
all i can say is after all these years dave still looks so happy to be up there playing. I love him...
922 not having their airphones plugged in, or just missed one heck of a song. Adrian Smith stellar on this one. A Maiden fav for sure
I was lucky enough to hear this song live at 3 different shows, they sounded just as good as when I saw them as a teenager in the 80s!
I need to see them soon, FUCK CORONA
I cannot believe i had the fortune of seeing this song performed live!
And that’s why they are the best.
They sound amazing here ❤
I really can't think of a hard rock/metal act from the 70's/80's that still sounds this good and plays with such a genuine sense of enthusiasm. So many of their peers look ridiculous on stage at this point. They weren't my favorite back then, but they might be now.
Their staying power is ridiculous, unprecedented. There will never be another Maiden. Enjoy them while they are still with us!
They took good care of themselves
