"Fifteen quid"? That girl was cheap.

[Andres33AU]

[00watcher]

@Andres33AU Today it would be like 35 quid, still cheap.

[dracula4917]

[Apocalip]

@morkinor nope

[atst55]

[LTBiermachtII]

@morkinor If you hear with your feet for sure.

[m82449]

The guitar was good

[evilunixuser1]

Clive Burr was a great drummer. Nikko is good, but Clive had a good style - wimped out, couldnt handle touring anymore

[Maidenheaven9316]

@evilunixuser1 He had to leave. He has MS.

[jasonfury1]

[giannuzzo66]

Sei ti senti depresso e solo

So dove possiamo andare

Acacia Avenue, al 22 c'è una signora che conosco

Se ti vuoi divertire

E sei disposto a pagare

Ti chiede soltanto 15 sterline

Tutti hanno i loro vizi

[fratstratraz]

@likeIwilltellyou

Duuuuuuuuuuuuu your getting angry is what is feeding the troll so clearly you do not fully understand the concept of what he is doing. Let me try again: HE IS MAKING PEOPLE ANGRY FOR LOLZ, YOU ARE GETTING ANGRY SO HE IS LOLING. YOU LOSE HE WINS

[wladosu]

[B3l3x4r]

2 people didn't even had 15 quid

[tabeezyy]

2 people were upside down when "liking" this.

[oldsoldier87]

[superchef78]

2 people disliked this video.

[trick5t3r]

0:22 IS THE FUCK YEAH

[edwinm1]

looks like 2 guys were such loosers they couldnt even get laid by a prostitute on acacia avenue

[superchef78]

@edwinm1 What are you talking about?

[ThisIsJoJo13]

Looks like the nuthouse should be looking for the two people who disliked this video.

[juliobonetti]

Amazing to think that this music is almost 30 years old. I'd be amazed how daring it is if I've hear it for the first time today.

UP THE IRONS!

[djquik2345]

I would like to get hooked up with this girl, while listening to this song ;)

after that goin into a bar and waiting for more Iron Maiden to come!!!!!!!!!!

[cannibalslayer13]

@djquik2345 you want to get hooked up with a probably about 60 yo plus hooker

[djquik2345]

@cannibalslayer13 heheheheh Yeah why not ;)

[Darkone2365]

OMFG I ACTUALLY LIVE ON A STREET CALLED ACACIA AVENUE!

[Aven2012]

@Darkone2365 I'm coming for youuuuu :3

[zarakikon5594]

@Darkone2365 number 22?

[motopicone]

(thumb) UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!! O/

[blackaim]

I wanna know who are the guys saying "i don't like it"

[MrDinodude23]

dude this song is beast kinda the 666 number of the beast and any1 who says otherwise needs to go blow em selfs ok :PPP

[gcw71]

i just blew my load to this song

[Martyr9991]

@gcw71 that's unsanitary.

[guins99]

UP THOSE MUTHER FUKIN IRONS FROM PITTSBURGH!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobmd13]

I have one stipulation on my previous post.

Paul could never have sang Hallowed be thy name which I deem Maidens greatest track :).

But that is personally taste.

[bobmd13]

bdogg, this is the contuination of the story.

It is sad that the original maiden is not watched on you tube, the rawness is what made them.

I bought the albums at the time and I think the albums with Paul are amazing. Number of the Beast and  Piece of Mind are also great but after that I think they lost the plot slightly (in other words I stopped buying :) )

[kondostrum]

3:47 - Katharsis

[liank96]

Great song! Up the IRONS!

[bdogg38128]

this is a step up from charlette the harlot...

[eldeckoeryt]

jajaj Is better whit Dark Tranquility

[IhearaHunter117]

if anyone doesn't know what this song is about, it's about a whorehouse.

lol

[aidan92m]

reminds me of the bitch i was with a few weeks ago

[rcarass1]

Seems one person didn't get it free.

[7uptheirons]

i know a place whre we can go...meet a lady that all know!why mama?xaxaxaxaxa

[BodaciousWickerman]

Everybody's got their vice.

[thekats14]

has anyone checked on taht address(22 Acacia Avenue) to see if there is a prostitute there?:)

[vinceflynnfan]

@thekats14 Acacia Avenue in England is the equivalent of Main Street in the United States. It's a very, very common street address.

[VivaLaSer21]

22 is my extremely unlucky number.

But damn, this song kicks ass.

[XTheWickedShadowX]

...Very downgrading to women...anyways, the beat is swell, although I like Dark Trainquility's version better.

[omgpwnd]

@XTheWickedShadowX i dont think its really "downgrading to women" the song isnt about women in general just one specific woman.

[superchef78]

It's not 'downgrading to women' in the least. It's merely 'downgrading' prostitutes, who, incidentally almost always consent to their actions. And a quick hint about the remark you grandfathered in at the end of the comment there. Don't go around doing this for very long because you'll most likely be 'hated' for it... elitism.

[XTheWickedShadowX]

@superchef78

@omgpwnd

Nevermind then. I thought he meant to do that to all women, or just beat one for no reason, but prostitutes actually like that (rough sex). My most humble appologies, and um...which comment? About Dark Trainquility?

[superchef78]

Yes. 

[XTheWickedShadowX]

@superchef78

Lol, why?I thought you meant the comment underneath.

[superchef78]

Why? This video is clearly the original from the original band that originally performed it (Iron Maiden). Hence, many Iron Maiden fans will frequent this area. There is a current fascination with the "X band's version of this cover is better" remark(s). Said remarks are not only fascinating in the eyes of those who assert them. Whether you know it or not, saying the aforementioned remark is likely to get you more hate than 'likes'. Some see it as underlying trolling, but it's far from that.

[XTheWickedShadowX]

@superchef78 Lol, I know how you feel with the 500 words thing. Ofcourse, I just like music like Gorgoroth and stuff. But, you are right, I suppose it is the same as my experience with the fanbrat who said filthy garbage to me twice for my simple saying, 'I am not a big fan of Emillie Autumn". Well, so this will not happen, I like both versions of this song. ^^

[superchef78]

@XTheWickedShadowX I personally (as aforementioned) don't take those 'remarks' as offensive but their are some who will (and do). Just a 'warning' or whatever.

[XTheWickedShadowX]

@superchef78

Oh, alright then, I see what you are saying. It is true, however unfortunate.

[superchef78]

@XTheWickedShadowX That is about all I'm able to say about the issue as it currently stands, because apparently YouTube has a fetish for not allowing people to post comments exceeding 500 characters in length.

[pcdd11pj]

So who is charlotte

[tonee127]

@pcdd11pj Some hooker Davey new I think.

[ksilveira]

@pcdd11pj The Harlot.

[superchef78]

@pcdd11pj Apparently some "whore" who inspired whoever wrote this song.

[SkullioN93]

what a funny song lmao XD its awsome !

[4heavybeast4]

Charlot the harlot,22 acacia avenue,hooks on you and from here to eternity ! most noble story ever written!

[TheMurillo666]

I'm the 66650!!!

[sextenica]

hell yeah im the 66606 to see this video

[egrojve]

bhwan ! XD !

[stuh1975]

This is what its all about!!! My favourite Maiden track. So good to hear after a long time. Love the riff at the start and all the tempo changes *****Many thanks

[drvannozzun]

I still have the vinyl album from 1982 when I was 13. this is still the best album of all time, not really even a close race. here i am, 28 years later still listening to it. Take your pick, you tube or old school vinyl, either way.... UP the IRONS!!!!!

[gilsonmetal1]

THE BEAST...THE BEST!!!!

[wastinglove69]

yea hookers

[MARIAK7100]

awesome solo

[gome275]

\nnn/

Up the irons, fuck the rest

[MrMarcolaus]

I know this song from years, heard it million times, but i still enjoy so much hearing it and playing it with my guitar!

[SweetLeafSon]

@MrMarcolaus I totally agree :)

[MrMarcolaus]

@SweetLeafSon Up the Irons!

[reydelugano22]

Excelente10 !!

[skaterobban]

@FallenCole777 accoding to bruce dickinson this song is about a prostitute lol.

[Martyr9991]

@skaterobban harlot=whore=prostitute. and if u listen to the song its obviously about that.

[skaterobban]

iron maiden and megadeth are my favorite bands

[metalhead7369]

@skaterobban iron maiden is the best.. their old stuff is just so classic and original sounding it just never gets old.. now their new stuff is still relly good, but now close to as god as their old stuff. it doesnt come close to stuff like wasted years and number of the beast AND run to the hills AND and thats a big and 2 minutes to midnight :D

[trueravitz]

@metalhead7369 man if you say some of their newer stuff isnt as good as their old stuff then you've obviously never listened to songs like the legacy, out of the silent planet, paschendaele, the thin line between love and hate, for the greater good of god, rainmaker, dance of death...man all of their stuff is equally as epic as the rest, you should know this bro....

[metalhead7369]

@trueravitz no bro some of my favorite songs are off the new stuff, my favorite song by iron maiden is brighter than a thousand suns. but their newest album, final frontier, its ok. and their old songs are just classic, thats all

[likeIwilltellyou]

@undergirl0714 I'm not, he hasn't answerd me yet, but i'm not gonna give that tard a second when he does :)

[Fantarulz83]

....what? comment? i was busy listening to the awesome music

[QuorthonVikingKing]

The Best song abaut a, emm... Bitch

[rikkimaru43]

Hahaha righting music is art and i takes a genius or geniuses to make some thing that people will remember forever so if you done this please tell us and we might care about your opinion of something that is "simple" to you.

[sk8acdc]

Sounds just like Megadeth.

Actually, Maidens were first.

Megadeth must have created some riffs around the Maidens' songs.

[ddoojjaann]

@sk8acdc No megadeth is different.. they followed metallicas path. Iron maiden is "classic heavy metal" with 70's ifluences/ sound. Megadeth is thrash metal, a bit harder and brutal sound. But both are very good!

[sk8acdc]

@ddoojjaann Well, listening to the Maidens more the instrumentation dosen't sound like Megadeth. Really though, Dave sounds like the singer. I'm not a big Maiden fan, though.

[dajarvis23]

3:50-4:35 absolute beaut of a solo.....love this track

[rgjmce666]

@dajarvis23 the very same reason i love this song and dave murray

[newguitarist96]

i just read FallenCole777s post and ur absolutely wrong.its about a guy who wants a better life for a prostitute and runs away with her aka he loves her

[rolltidecharger]

The best song by Maiden but they never play it on tour! Pisses me off!

[183514789]

Street of Roses is better!

[cornishpastie9]

Only Iron Maiden could make a song about a prostitute this dramatic.

[enerjon777]

@cornishpastie9 Right,right!

[zakmesslijper]

@cornishpastie9 I must say that the remake by dark tranquility is also very good.

[fratstratraz]

Lol all you idiots who don't realize that fag who is saying that Iron Maiden's music is primitive is trolling, you need to learn what trolling is.

Trolling: The ART of getting others to argue with you by stating something highly controversial. For example, a troll would be someone who would go on a forum for suicide survivors and start trying to convince everyone that they actually are worthless. Obviously arguments would ensue, and that is what you guys are fueling by arguing with him.

[likeIwilltellyou]

@fratstratraz Dude, the fact that he is trollin would make me even more angry, so i don't care. And thank you, but i know what trollin is...

[charizardsspirit]

i love this song

[wackogoalie30]

am i reading this right? theres no contest between maiden and slipknot. maiden for sure. i mean yea joey jordison is a good drummer. but neail peart from rush is still ranked above him, and a band like maiden has a full line up of good players, and an excellent singer. a band cant rely on one member being good, with the rest of the band being mediocre. im not saying slipknot sucks, but maiden is just 10 times better.

[ejl1000]

ha "fifteen quid is all she asks for" love that

[MeroTorero]

im reading this comments and im sorry, but im laughing my ass off. I love iron maiden, I have been a fan for many years but. come on, someone that says that their music is awesome and they are great players shows a complete ignorance about music. i gues u havent listened to much music or u just have no idea of what u are talking about. I love maiden, i listen to this song and I enjoy it a lot but come on guys, this music is elementary and basic, I would even say primitive.

[Thatanas]

@MeroTorero The question is, does that really matter?

I, for one, find thid elemantary, basic and primitive music to be better than 95% of the garbage that is being released.

If it sounds good, it should be appreciated. That is all that really matters.

[imcoolbrandon]

@MeroTorero then what do you find higher class? justin bieber? this is music that took so long to write record way longer than justin biebers baby or any thing you call music

[GiveBlood88]

@MeroTorero metal has always displayed much more complex and almost symphonic elements then any pop music, its the closest modern form of music to classical and no r&b and rock and roll or cuntry comes close

[likeIwilltellyou]

@MeroTorero I don't think u know to much about music yourself, if you can say something like that my friend. If you think there are many metalbands that play now a days that would have been the same without what Maiden did to the genre Metal, you haven't understood a fucking shit. If you think genres like pop or hip-hop are better, i refuse to talk to you any more. That shit can be written in ten seconds, and it always sounds the same. If you can find ANY band that sounds better, please show me!

[MeroTorero]

@likeIwilltellyou lol, the funniest thing about this is that I havent even talked about any style and I actually like this music. It seems that some people get offended by the fact that this music is EASY/SIMPLE to write. I do like it and I dont have any problems in admiting its EASY/SIMPLE music. If u guys get offended thats not my problem but this music is what it is : simple , primitive stuff ( but good one )

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MeroTorero To say for Iron Maiden that their music/composing is primitive is a very stupid thing to say. Maiden aren't "this type of music", they are unique in almost all aspects and those who can see the difference are true metal worshipers. Beside, when you bring me another band who has a lead singer AND a pilot of an airplane 666 you may speak how their music is lame/wrong/stupid/simple/primi­tive and/or easy to compose.

Beside, this song is greater than 99.99% of nowadays songs so simply su

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MeroTorero Beside you "admit". Admit to who or what, wtf are you talking about anyway!? whoever says shit about Maiden is shit himself.

[likeIwilltellyou]

@MeroTorero Then could you please tell me why this amazing music is so easy to compose, and make some nice songs for us Maidenfans? I would enjoy it if you do, and prove your point. Imo, this music ain't simple, cause i have been playing more then one instrument for many years, and this stuff ain't easy. Also, please tell us what advanced, skilled music is, so we know wtf you are talking about. The shit you are saying now, makes no sense, and give's us no possabillity to argue back. EXPLAIN!
