Bruce Dickinson messes up his lyrics in BTATS Live in Athens

[lionnew]

he is BRUCE DICKINSON, these are his songs, his band, his lyrics, he can fucking do anything he wants...

[christifreak12]

HE IS A GOD!!

[guilhas229]

It happens to the best

[legodarknight101]

He's only human, i still get the lines on the chorus of Fear of the Dark mised up.

[christifreak12]

@legodarknight101 What are you saying, he is a God! xD apparently even gods mess up!

[RushLyricsOnScreen]

@legodarknight101 seriously? its not that hard, 4 of the lines are the same thing, you just have to remember its 'i have a constant fear that something's always near' first and 'I have a phobia that someone's always there' second. Good luck :)

[dmmnjaws]

I'M THE FAN NUMBER ONE OF IRON MAIDEN AND DONT CALL ME THE SECOND OR THE THERD. I'M THE FAN NUMBER ONE!

[masterdierk]

@dmmnjaws More like, the FAG number one

[dmmnjaws]

@masterdierk Well thats your opinion I respect Iron Maiden and I love them but If you call me FAG you don't respect me and you don't respect the fans of Iron Maiden! So I respect you, and I don't have nothing to bad to point about you!

[MagoCico]

He has a technical problem!

[gilsonmetal1]

I am singer of INFINITE DREAMS BRAZILIAN MAIDEN COVER...sometimes we loose the concentration...

PLEASE watch our videos on "maidencover" channel...THANKS!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!

[TheClassicheavymetal]

No problem bruce

[pandito21]

but bruce is a god \m/,

[PapaHet91]

i think thats cool. its a prove that gods arent perfect always

[istarilight]

I am sure that day Bruce was hirrbly ill so someone looking exactly like him was made , as they tried to prevent his lack of appearance that day.But a God cannot be copied perfectly by noone.Good job though ! xDxD (This is just a joke , not an actual fact)

[Beaudereck]

@istarilight oh shit, really ?

[davemurray16]

haha that was funny and he didnt mess up his lyrics he just started singing at instrumental part

[Lundiez]

@davemurray16 Actually, he started to sing the chorus at the verse, wasn't instrumetal part :P

[MrPavleII]

I like his mistakes and falls on stage..Go on Bruce \m/

[nickolasGate7]

Ε και τι εγινε;

So what?

Up the irons from Salamis Greece \m/

[xXmoptop100Xx]

That wasnt their best show :\ LOL

[metalmaniac2493]

Pffft, hapens all the time.

[ironmegallica]

bruce made a mistake but nobody cared because he is the most badass 50 years old man in this fucking planet

[SPD1E]

LOL, I like the way adrien and janick looked at him when he cocked up!

[Xepher17]

Even GOD can make some mistakes ;)

[guii70]

hahahahahah that was funny... bruce's just the best

[cliftonite187]

more like he added lyrics

[mrhyvonen]

Everybody sings wrong sometimes. Shit happends :P

[darece123z]

Hahah rofl,bruce's a god

[MrBillForster]

Ah, so what?

[ETOCS411]

Oh well. Up on stage you say whatever you want and it wont even matter.

[iamthebluebeard]

no worse than aces high on Live After Death....cause if you are a casual fan you won't even notice!

[pilotoatomico]

everything was perfectly planned :D he didnt mess up lol

[FrozenSparky]

i dont see where he messed? uhh?

[bengativo6]

0:07 bruce not yet not yet wait until 0:27 lol

[jaeppine]

didnt see that coming :DD

[francoisgaudet]

hahahahahahahaha

[LtWhiteWolf]

Bruce is so awesome. Even if he miss his lyrics, he still kick ass

[YouCantDeleteDenzelL]

"Out Of the Universe! Oh wait, shit, wrong time, just let the song... now! OUT OF THE UNIVERSE!" Gotta love Bruce. Nothing's unintentional with him.

[McJohnGr]

That was an awesome night.

[Snorkelsson]

atleast he doesent lipsync :P

[PoVerslaWe]

OUT OF THE UNIVURSE xD hahahah

[TubeFreakJonas]

At least he can hit PITCH like a bastard on all those songs!!!!!

[TheOtherLegoGuy777]

how did he mess that up. it sounded right

[CastawayThunder]

He remembers a lot of song's lyrics. This is not a problem.

P.S. : I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan but i remember all the lyrics of just 4 songs. (Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Fear of the Dark, Aces High, Wasted Years)

[koutentakisGiwrghs]

@CastawayThunder if you remember Rime of the Ancient Mariner 14 minutes song you are great!!!!!!

[JusticePlayer]

man... come on oubcorse that he's joking

[komputerLuek]

i think that every IM album , especially in the 80's is the best .i remember when i bought SSOSS , i listened to it everyday and i memorized the whole album ( lyrically )

[jumpajulia]

my opinoin a matter of life or death is the best and dis my favorite song

[Jubokko]

I mean, with the amount of songs he has memorized, he does a pretty damn good job. Long live Iron Maiden!!!

[xIronWarlordx]

You gotta give him credit for memorizing Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I wouldn't be able to to that to save my life.

[Uptheironsserbia666]

I know whole Rime Of The Ancient Mariner :)

[xIronWarlordx]

That's impressive. I think the only song I know all the lyrics to is Leather Rebel by Judas Priest, but only when I'm drunk.

[Uptheironsserbia666]

Hahahahha dude, i know atleast 90 MAIDEN SONGS WHOLE... But hey, its me, i listen to Maiden 32 hours per day :DDDDD

[xIronWarlordx]

Honestly, I know plenty of of Judas Priest songs whole, but I've only been listening to Maiden for almost a year now. I've been obsesively collecting albums/dvds and learning everything there is to know about the band. It won't been long before I can sing along to Rime of the Ancient Mariner while drunk, lol.

[Uptheironsserbia666]

hahah :)

Cheers mate :)

[RobLoya22]

Me Too!!!!

[PsychopathicLlama]

hey RETARD....there is only 24 hours in a day

[Uptheironsserbia666]

Thats a joke you fucking idiot! Go die asshole!!

[PsychopathicLlama]

i love how sarcasm transfers so well over the internet

[GuitarBill13]

@PsychopathicLlama

man...come on..he is obviously joking.......

[PsychopathicLlama]

@guitarbill13........i guess sarcasm doesnt transfer well through typed words....i was just kidding

[GuitarBill13]

@PsychopathicLlama

well you are right....it's a little difficult to understand typing sarcasm from persons you don't know.I commented because i saw

"Uptheironsserbia666" comment and he probably didn't got it...

[pilotoatomico]

lightning in theee daaaaaaark

[2Easy2DiE]

umm I know Twilight Zone,Iron Maiden,Phantom of the Opera,Prowler,Strange World & Remember Tomorrow(big deal),Killers,Innocent Exile,I've got the Fire,Children of the Damned,The Prisoner,22 Acacia Avenue,The Number of the Beast,Hallowed be thy Name,Revelations,Flight of Icarus,The Trooper,Aces High,Two Minutes to Midnight,Powerslave,Wasted Years,Heaven Can Wait,Sranger in a Strange Land,Alexander the Great,The Evil that Men Do,Can I Play With Madness...

[2Easy2DiE]

...Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter,Hooks In you,Fear of the Dark,Wasting Love,Wickerman,Dream Of Mirrors,Out of the Silent Planet,Rainmaker,Dance of Death,Paschendale,Different World,Oute of the Shadows,Brighter than a Thousand Suns.

Plus I know most of the others but not completely.Thats what happens, if you listen to Maiden for 5 years for 8 hours every day :P

[chachas21]

@2Easy2DiE and yet there are about 70 more songs from maiden

[chachas21]

@2Easy2DiE and yet there are about 70 more songs from maiden

[orlion2009]

In the concert I saw them at, Bruce switched a couple lines...but, then again, as has been pointed out, no biggie. They happen to be human after all, but are still professional enough to continue and provide a smooth, incredible experience for the fans.

[iuricastro22]

Everyoine makes mistake, but only Iron Maiden makes the greatest album of all times:

A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH!

[rokulikesatan]

Greatest? come on... does he really live up to anything between Number and 7th?

[iuricastro22]

I swear to God, it's up there with Number, 7th and Powerslave. In my opinion. I can't choose between them.

[MetalHhead722]

Powerslave, for sure. But that's my opinion. I grew up with that song, and with Maiden.

[danibetrayed1]

i agree man!

[trebiltrebil]

It's the first mistake I've ever heard him...

[linotele]

god's not perfect, that's all

[BlackPanteraSociety]

He just got the timing wrong, nothing serious

[SelfDestruction8]

No wonder, the beggining of this song is quite weird

[Foxred29]

Hmm... i guess he's human after all lol

[clez2]

it is a kinda hard song

[vibije]

who care about that,only jelous i think.... :-D

[EddyHendrix2]

i've never thought that was possible, i think it only happens to me =0... damn man... i gotta sleep

[XjoshhyX]

It was one of those nights probably, Its not like he sang badly, so this is just a natural mistake for a lot of bands....

UP THE IRONS from OHIO!

[ihsahnblack]

Gods can fail too...and certificating that he is a human too makes him my favourite singer ever! UP THE IRONS! Bruce forever!!!

[KiszoneTeam]

It happens even if you are Bruce Dickinson.

Btw, on that tour they were playing the whole A Matter Of Life And Death album with all its long songs - it's normal that Bruce could make a mistake.

[macaccaro]

he can!!!!!!!!bruce forever!!!!!!!!!!

[daklufromsrbija]

LoooL :))) Bruce is the best! :D Humans Make Mestakes

[zerototalchaos]

so god's not perfect, o well

[OzzO777]

Well, Maybe we can forgive him :)

[ironmaidenisgod]

duh? even gods aren't perfect you know?

[dvdscott2009]

Shit happens :) even to Bruce, they are still metal Gods! UP THE IRONS!!!!

[poliscimajor1]

hehe thats pretty cool

[LHondrums]

hm fuck it. that's human.

this song is soo great i gotta say.

[KRxHigh3rxPow3r]

iron maiden poops on you haters, it was technical, you can still see him trying to sing into the mic

[melizavazquez]

its the mic its messed up

[JUBEast]

Legends makes mistakes too but Bruce is AWESOME singer! Up The Irons!!!

[muhameman]

that's normal

[zach1791]

that was a technical problem..lol...GODS DO NOT MESS UP!!!!LOL

[jusssssek]

it's a not first time of bruce :)

[laybackbarrel]

Maiden is a great band. But Tool schooled them in the 90's. Go to tool show and see. I know its apples and oranges but seriously Danny Carey? whoa they took it to whole diffferent level. Still love maiden so dont call me a hater. 30 years of maiden still crankin up !st album, killers, etc.. And how about that where eagles dare drum pattern? Not bad. It's not in the same league as Tools Lateralus or Janes Three Days but still gotta love nikko. Used to see play with pat travers in the 70's.

[DylonDaPwner]

you're a tool layback.

Iron maiden is heavy metal, tool is progressive metal/rock. If anything Tool tries to copy Pink Floyd.

[laybackbarrel]

Thanks for the compliment, Thats why i said its like comparing apples and oranges. I am really beginning to wonder about the lack of intelligence of the maiden fans posting comments on you tube. Go buy some more merch.

[Maidenrugby]

I don't see why you have to compare Maiden to Tool on a Maiden video on youtube. I know you've said you love Maiden, but I just don't really see the point in this comparison :S

[ragazzimus]

The mic was broken.

Gods don't mess up!

[atr1982]

you are right, mate!!

either the fucking mic or the technical sound were fucked up, indeed!

[globe626]

i dont get wat you mean by that isnt it just simple to say bruce fucked up come even the air raid siren has some human in him

[9inchnailsgirl]

ANYWAY

UP THE IRONS!!

[thejourneyman123]

its the mircophone thats fuck up...

[ATHEIST1965]

blaze bayley...ouch

[HVF12]

Hahahahaha!!! I just laughed really hard. That's great.

Bruce is my hero!

[InquisitorImperialis]

it happens... No matter, IRON MAIDEN IS THE BEST!!!

[DraconionDevil]

yeah well, maiden has over 100 songs. It would be inhuman to get the lyrics right for every song performed at every gig ever. He made a nice recovery too, someone who didn't know the song wouldn't have noticed.

[pernik6may]

haha..that was cute

[McJohnGr]

That was an awesome gig.The sound was beyond godlike.

[somos999]

i was there! i never realised he messed up the lyrics xD

[LateralisUndertow]

Nobody is perfect, Bruce still rules!

[dopplegander1632]

You have to think that this guys has written hundreds of songs and performed thousands of shows. So it's only natural to mix them up at some point. Plus he's a really creative guy, so he might zone out at times like a lot of creative-minded artists do.

[journeyman96]

bruce also made a mistake in aces high on live after death. he mixed up the lyrics in da 2nd verse

[pimmsRULES666]

he makes loads of mistakes, its human, just as dave, steve, janick, nicko and adrian all miss notes sometimes too

although, sayin that, if u ever heard a blaze bayley concert, it forgets nearly half the words lol

20days till i see em at twickers!!!!

[trajke]

but look

he has lot of ages

and his mind is not like when he have 30 years

that things heappen in that age !!!

[acepigpup99]

jtlyk, bruce is only 49. get ur facts straight before you run yer flappy mouth.

[sonatadragonofbodom]

yeah he´s got the right to make any mistakes he wants XD

[trashedlostandhungry]

maybe the first mistake he made in 30 years

,and gods can afford a little mistake :p

[andrussmith]

not the first, not even the second or third mistake he made in 30 years...but still, who doesn't make mistakes?

(But if it was a Blaze Bayley's mistake, people surely wouldn't be this gentle about it...)

[IronMaidenNPFTD]

he lost his count... though thatd be embarrasing if i did that.

[PANIONIOSG3]

Yeah, i remember that moment! I just thought that the microphone was broken down for a moment, but the video showed that i wasn't right...!

Up the Irons!

[nurman666]

Were humans we can make mistakes

[ImNorthPole]

are you sure?

[snuke7]

poor bruce :(

[jkalnasy]

He's 49, give him a fucking break. Bruce Dickinson is a Metal God and has contributed more to this genre alongside Iron Maiden than any band could come close to.

[nypad5]

Bruce is the man! He can make as many mistakes as he fuckin wants

[Metalpower123]

lol I wonder how did he felt at that moment =P

[Gulli05]

He probably just smiled and laughed. I mean, anyone can make a mistake, you ain't gonna die if you mess up on the lyrics a little.

[YourTimeWillC0me]

Even the legend of heavy metal does mistakes. Yeah, Bruce is a god, but even God rested in the seventh day.

[G0RIVI4N]

u guys realised there aren't many videos of bruce messing up his lyrics on youtube? thats coz bruce is awesome, i can onli think of 1 other example which was in Live after Death when he was singing Rime of the Ancient Mariner and he said "see" the rime of the ancient mariner, and not "hear" the rime of the ancient mariner, it just shows that no matter how good people are they still make mistakes

[G0RIVI4N]

[drummeruptheirons]

this just proves that everyone makes mistakes, and also that their live performances rock. they even record all their alums at once, they dont mix in each instrument

[educassiano]

Shit happpens. Also that's what happens when you make an album with 8 or more minutes per music(lol). Bruce still is the greatest.

[control122]

so what, he's still a god, iron maiden is still a group of gods!

[fondasvas]

It is impossible not to mess something or even have an accident like falling down on stage after so many concerts and so much effort.

Xenophon, A I.M. Greek fun..

ps: Those guys simply cannot grow old, they are still fresh and vivid

[sendlunvenkenda]

Maybe bruce didnt mess up his lyrics, the rest of the band messed up the part of the song^^

[ironloversvocals]

bruce if you read this comment you are not the only one who have messe up your lyrics

[ironloversvocals]

its happen to me with my old métal band when we make our first live behind 50 maybe 60 persons on one of our songs i forget all the chorus

[mastercrowly]

wut i couldnt hear it

[Metalpower123]

This makes me pleased cause its a proof that they dont sing on Playback its realy them there and its worth listening!

[fondasvas]

you are so fucking right on that!

though I must say I never doughted their shows are 100% live

[gudzn]

hahaha.. He is the best, but it wasnt the first time! Here in brazil, during the Dance of Death tour, he "screwed up" Rainmaker singing over the solo =]

[VDVShaun]

It happens to the best.

[debugator]

Steve Harris deu um tapa na cabeça dele hehehehe.

[Andydoublem]

I was there, & I totally don't remember it happening because of IMFC's FREE BEER!

[EarthNightIcedWish]

This is great, a classic Dickinson moment:) He is still a legend, even if he messes up a few times:)

[DevilMwahaha]

ah well. no ones perfect. even the great Bruce Dickinson

[thodorismaiden7]

ekeinh th stigmh 8umamai xamogelasa ligo kai meta xeirokrothsa ton bruce 8umamai epishs oti o gers gurise kai koita3e ton bruce xamogelwntas

[pilotoatomico]

if i would miss the lyrics i would let the people sing them xDDD

[TheBaronNoir]

WHO CARES?! He is still fucking awesome!

[elpolentatlp]

I am amazed you can still speak with Bruce's flacid dick in your mouth

[bobsaget987654321]

fuck you dick thts just ure dream

[upureddie]

wtf is all that about

bruce is a god

hes fukin awsome so no 1 cares if he screws up a few lines

[Rockro3]

You are Jealous Sucker......

[DevilOnHog]

haha,nice one.Yea bruce messes it a lot,so we have proof that he isnt a god,but human^^

[Antythese]

Just a wonderful human being ^^

[GmanBruce]

Well, it's very funny when he messes the lyrics, and he does it very often on songs like Brave New World, and others, but anyway, Who cares? :) People who don't know the lyrics won't even find out. He is still human, although he sounds like a God

[skateparkslayer]

they are human too......hard to beleive isnt it?

[adarias]

Yes, he messes up lyrics in alot of songs: murders in the rue morgue, a complete part in where eagles dare, he almost sings in losfer words... Yes, he is A GOD.

[krnr]

well atlest he is good at improvising

[Maidenfan1991]

Cant blame him its a damm long song but noce tough

At graspop he messed up to for a moment but who cares?

[kualalumpur88]

Funny, at least you got one verse more of his Godlike voice :D

[mistrmann]

i love him

[wubbe]

that's actually a tough spot to remember the song, because it's towards the end, and the instrumental part extends, which it does not do in the first part. i actually tend to play wrong on that very same spot myself. i play guitar :P

[6mind6freak6]

i am with u there and wen u sing the beging its awkward cuz the singing is a diffrent timing the the guitar.

[rrhodes1980]

yeah same here, if i play without the recording i completely forget how manytimes that section plays :P

[tomanol8]

haha... i love this guy:-)

[MegadertH]

nono im sure he ment to say that then.. it just wasnt incuded in the album =p

[shadowphantom2]

Heck yes! Just keep the show rolling Bruce!

[EddieTheHead1000]

So he messed up the words.....big deal! Tell me that Rob or Ozzy(especially) never messed up the words....I mean as identical as he is to one, bruce is not god...

[UchihaDebo]

he's the best singer I agree but he is still human! every1 makes mistakes

[gbironmaiden]

i was there too...
