  • These Colours Don't Run is way up there on my list as well. Well played sir. Killers is my favorite Maiden as well so... Good list.

  • Still Life anybody?

  • how is no more lies underrated? they play it live during the US tour?

  • LOL Afraid to shoot strangers is one of their most popular songs.. Killers are very popular as well, and No prayer for the dying is ALSO kind of popular.. but Good list except the three on top :D (in my opinion)

  • @Gcrash95 no. not at all.

  • Oh yeah and i've always loved Infinite Dreams (especially parts like 5:14-5:18)

    And yeah, thin line between love and hate is very underrated and soooo good!

  • These kind of video's are so fuckin' awesome!

  • Dude these colors dont run is the most overrated song of the album. 

  • @macaron3141592653 Could not agree more. I don't understand the bands love of that song, there are so many better songs on that album. Uh "The Longest Day, For The Greater Good" anyone!?

  • the whole iron maiden iron maiden album is underrated. paul dianno didn't have the range bruce had but he had a lot of soul in his voice. running free, charlotte the harlotte, strange world. bruce is great but i hate when he does paul's songs. doesn't sound right

  • You wanna talk underrated? Try some of their early singles like Burning Ambition, Women in Uniform and Invasion.

  • Good compilation, altought I think you missed: 1) THE PRISONER, 2) THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER, 3) THE FUGITIVE, 4) THE PILGRIM, 5) TO TAME A LAND

  • Killers isnt underrated, but good list!

  • Out Of The Silent Planet should be there :)

  • Infinite Dreams, my favourite song ever. i don't think it's underrated, everyone agrees with me that's one masterpiece, the melody and lyrics are as maiden as there could ever be.

  • Ironicamente, son algunas de las mejores de sus canciones

    Igual, todas son buenas

    Up The Irons From Mexico!

  • I think most of piece of mind is underrated I only like three songs. The trooper, die with your boots on, and flight of Icarus

  • i reconized 9/10 of those somgs once they started

  • The assassin is awesome.

  • there is an infinite list of the most underrated songs of the maidens, like to tame a land, alexander the great, wasting love, judas be my guide and many other songs

  • #1 is probably just ok, but Killers would never be listed as underrated. Early and raw songs from Dianno's era were fantastic.

  • The entire Brave New World album is horribly underrated...

  • @draco911 you mean horribly overrated!

  • the picture for #9 looks like something you would see off of sims

  • Maiden has yet to impress me since No Prayer for the Dying.Everything since Brunce came back has sounded the same. If I had to name a top 10 under rated songs by them it would look like this 1. Moon child 2. Flash of the Blade 3. Total Eclipse 4. Twilight Zone 5. Stranger in a Strange Land 6. Still Life 7. De Ja Vu 8. The Prisoner 9. The Good Die Young 10. Sea of Madness These are the songs that seem to be forgotten and over looked as time goes by.
  • Personally I'd choose Montsegur form Dance Of Death, that is one kickass song.

  • You just had to go and inspire me to make my own video, didn't ya?

  • How about Mother Russia?

  • No Nore Lies,Afraid to Shoot Strangers,Killers,No Prayer For The Dying are Hardly underrated...All the other ones are indeed underrated along along with most of the songs from Virtual XI,The X Factor,A Matter Of Life And Death,Dance Of Death...The 80's are pretty much well known among Maiden fans!

    UP THE IRONS!

  • I love mercenaries,infinite dreams, no prayer for the dying, afraid to shoot strangers

    but then again ive only been listening to Iron Maiden for a year or so :D

  • Idk if these are underrated... I mean they played No More Lies and These Colours Don't Run on (I believe) their last couple tours. I think u should make a new vid with 20 or 30 Maiden songs and title it "30 Iron Maiden songs you need to hear" or somethin like that, and include the best of what doesn't get played often, as well as some of the semi-well-known songs (like the 2 I mentioned) so that Maiden virgins get a taste of what they're all about

  • The Nomad is so underrated too

  • Mine would go something like: Nomad, Judas Be my guide, Fugitive, Sea of Madness, Mother Russia, Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, Still Life, Transylvania, remember tomorrow, Infinite Dreams

  • Total Eclipse is probably my favorite song on The Number of the Beast. Something about it just feels epic to me.

    Number of the Beast, in general, though, I don't really see as Maiden's greatest album like most people do. Powerslave, Seventh Son, Somewhere In Time, Piece of Mind, Dance of Death, and AMOLAD are all my favorites. There's just so many lesser songs hidden underneath the huge hits that only true Maiden fans can appreciate.

    Great vid. UP THE IRONS!!

  • None of these songs are really underrated at all

  • If its not the number of the beast, run to the hills, hallowed be thy name, the trooper, aces high, 2 minutes to midnight, fear of the dark, phantom of the opera, then everything else is underrated

  • Killers is an underrated Iron Maiden song? first I've heard of it, but still...awesome list (though I would have added Assassin somewhere on there)

  • I agree with #s 10, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Not a huge fan of their post-Seventh Son stuff (although, obviously from my perspective, No Prayer and Fear of the Dark have their moments of brilliance).

  • what about angel and the gambler?? jk hahaha

    good list mate! Gates of Tomorrow and Thin Line between love and hate Hell yeah!

  • No More Lies... The Mercenary... Killers... Three of my fav songs xD

  • there are way too many underrated songs from iron maiden to put in one list but this is a good attempt

  • i think Deja Vu should be on here

  • @nitetrainxd I agree. I'd remake the vid but I don't really want to get suspended.

  • Good list, I personally would've added Invaders and especially Sign Of The Cross - highly underrated simply because it was Blaze Bayley, which isn't fair at all.

  • @therandomsk8erben When done by Bruce the god in RIO its a great song

  • Most of their new stuff is very under-rated...All the "real" Maiden fans want the old stuff but us True Maiden fans wanna hear a little of everything!!! Maiden for life!!!

  • I don't understand. "underrated" how? Maiden doesn't get radio play, so you can't judge by that. A lot of these songs get heavy live play by the band.

  • @leardc Saw them last summer twice and I can tell you - GO SEE A SHOW , there is nothing like it , and I have seen....

  • The Prisoner all the way

  • Every song from "Killers" should be on the list. The best Iron Maiden album and the most underrated.

  • The true undervalued songs could be "Gangland" Or "Total Eclipse" (although I Guess you even can't recongnize that song), "To Tame a Land", "Quest For Fire", "The Loneliness Of the Long Distance Runner", "Hooks In You", "Run Silent Run Deep", "The Apparition" "2 A.M." "Blood on the World's Hands", "Don't Look to the eyes of a Stranger"....

    Have you listened at least one of these? :P

  • @CrimeiasTrooper Gangland and Total Eclispe, definitely,

  • WTF???

    Are you Kidding???

    All the people who listen Iron Maiden LOVES the Duellists, it's an incredible masterpiece, No More Lies reached 3 in the finnish charts, Mercenary was played at ROCK IN RIO!!! did you see how many people was there?

    INFINITE DREAMS??? ARE YOU USING DRUGS? HAHAHAHA If is even a single, and it reached #6 UK single chart (1989)

    KIllers? Afraid to shoot Strangers? haha you dude are totally wrong...

  • if u ask me, I would kick no more lies and put more underrated lord of light..

    btw list is great..

  • powerslave was the last great album.... everything after that is shitty bland crap... at some point they have to stop repeating themselves...

  • @dickyp1 hehehe funny funny man , and stupid to :)

  • Good list.

    There are a lot of underrated tunes from Maiden. Mother Russia, Still Life, To Tame a Land, Fortunes of War, Die With Your Boots On, Losfer Words, Deja Vu, Como Estais Amigos (especially the solo), The Nomad, Remember Tomorrow, Prowler etc.

  • No More Lies is one of my fovourite maiden songs

  • Really agree on Afraid To Shoot Strangers, such an extremely fantastic good song!

  • I agree, but gates of tommorow is easily the worst song on dod and im not too keen on it myself. And how is killers underrated?

  • I agree, but gates of tommorow is easily the worst song on dod and im not too keen on it myself.

  • how the hell can you think that killers is a underrated song? everyone that has benn a Maiden fan for more then 1 year now that it is one of the top 10 Maiden songs

  • the duellits is one of my favourite maiden songs

  • The two most underrated songs in my opinion are The Prisoner and Invaders.

  • the list of iron maiden underrated songs should have at least 20 songs on it

  • 1.MOTHER RUSSIA but afraid to shoot stranger should be like 5th.

  • U gotta admit, Dance of Death didnt have any good songs. Good list though.

  • Totally agree on Afraid to shoot strangers. Its one of my Maiden favourites. Such a fantastic song!

  • in my opinion the The Duellists iso one of the best songs ever!!!

    this list is not bad, but i feel that are songs that should be in here and are not!

  • For as a fucking good of Iron Maiden like me. In my head, in my taste the'res no underrating song. I love all the song except somes b-sides. But I know THERE'S TOO MUCH UNDERRATING SONG BY IRON MAIDEN AND IT'S REALLY SAD BECAUSE SOME ARE VERY MASTERPIECE LIKE NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING she's really good.

  • Here's my stab: Purgatory, Futureal (a gem!), Dance of Death, Blood Brothers and Charlotte the Harlot

  • i agree with your list but nomore lies has been lately played well even tough your video was made like 2 years ago,maiden took it out of the dust bin and played it again on the final frontier setlist .tour .cheers

  • AND WHERE IS THE PROPHECY JUDAS BE MY GUIDE

  • AND WHERE IS THE PROPHECY

  • I DONT NOT MEN BUT ALL IRON MAIDEN SONG KICK ASS EXCEPT ALBUM KILLERS I DONT LIKE THAT SORRY SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME AND NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING ALBUMS KICK ASS

  • I just want to say, with all my respect, it sucks!

  • @andresox21 If you're talking about this video, then I agree.

  • Infinite dreams are of the best songs ever!

  • good list, but i'm not sure all of them can be deemed as underrated.

    Killers and No Prayer for the Dying are tile songs for their albums and Infinite Dreams was a big hit and played live many times.

    I still can't believe they have not played Out of the Silent Planet in the last Rock in Rio, but the most underrated IM song of all time for me is Judas be my Guide.

    That totally rocks!!!!

  • How the hell is KILLERS underrated

  • Gates of Tomorrow love that tune!!! great list but you should have include Deja-Vu

  • That's at pretty damn good list.....especially "the thin line between love and Hate"! I love that tune...nice job!

  • @regelsnet Thanks. Although I should have included Still Life, Only The Good Die Young and some other songs...

  • @regelsnet the opening guitar riff is brutal

  • you forgot childhood's end

  • good pile,,.. but no more lies and Aftaid to shoot strangers???

    atleast not my opinion...

  • the prophecy is very underated LOVE that chorus hook. seventh son is also underrated.

  • good songs but not underrated

  • I have very different option...

  • It`s an awesome video that made me listen to those good old Maiden records once again...

    Though I don` think "Afraid To Shoot Strangers" is "underrated". That solo is one of the first one everybody learns when they start playing guitar (at least where I come from:)).

  • underrated by?

  • underrated? ahahahahaha

  • fuck yeah, no more lies

  • killers wassen't underrated, is was da bomb!

  • killers is soooo cool!!!!

  • i dont think afraid to shoot strangers is underated

  • @mankei13 lol yeah they used to play it in every show when Fear of teh Dark came out

  • hello your right the duellist is always missed out and they dont play it live

    i think its murray and smiths best guitar work,ive played the guitar for years,all the solos are brilliant but this one stands out,beautiful guitar playing,ive looked for a live video on u tube but there aint one, thank you s a walker

  • ah here you have it too loool you read my opinion in the other "underated compilation" maybe (No more Lies)

    Duellists isnt for me an underrated, iMo its really one of their weaker ones,

    Killers and No Prayer cant be underrated as the album headliners ;-))

    but anyway i like your list!

  • Comment removed

  • Done my first backflip on a bicycle(into a foam pit) to Die with your boots on. I had too ! Great to see all these Maiden Fans.

  • I tottally agree with you :D

  • Iron Maiden ftw

  • the list is ok but you dont have to every song present at the begining you can present some song in the middle lets say SOLOS for example if you know what im mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I agree with very few of these.

    Killers is a great song, just look up the views for some of the Killer videos on Youtube.

    It's hard to judge Iron Maiden in a bad way though.

  • Mercenary undervalued ? Noo =)

  • For The Greater good of god????

    22 Acacia Avenue?????

    Where Eagles Dare????

    Flight of Icarus????

    Purgatory??????

    Holy Smoke????

    Mother Russia?????

    Wildest Dreams?????

    The Prisoner?????

  • only maiden songs i dont like are the ones blaze bayley sings and most of them paul di anno sings. paul has a few good songs tho but every song bruce sings is a good song

  • @cpk9999 songs where is blaze sing,i listen only music and i ignore the singing,try listen that way and you get other view totally,blaze has sing some MASTER PEACE of maiden discographie like SIGN OF THE CROSS,DONT LOOK TO THE EYES OF A STRANGER,VIRUS....,remember just ignore singing

  • killer is underrated ??? get the fuck out

  • 1 - Strange World

    2 - Quest for Fire

    3 - Prodigal Son

    4 - Lord of the light

    5 - The Legacy

    6 - Fates Warning

    7 - The Duellist

    8 - Fear is the key

    9 - Dont Look to the eyes of a stranger

    10 - Gates Of Tomorrow

  • good starting, i mean positions 10 to 6, but the rest are either well-known or not so good...3/5 to me

  • infinite dreams underrated? WTF?

  • @enanoakd LOL yeah i was about to writte the same when i saw your comment

  • i dont think no more lies , the mercenary , the thin line between love and hate , these colors dont run and infinite dream are underrated ! they are popular song and a majority of people love them !

    all the way Maiden Kick fucking ass ! The best band in this fucking world !

  • NPFTD is not underrated, everybody (almost) says that´s the best song from the album, I thnk it´s the worst (still good). Public Enema Number One is underrated, and so is AFRAID TO SHOOT STRANGER! ;)

  • ATSS ain't underrated at all,it just not too overrated.

    Run Silent....is the most underrated song by maiden

  • most underrated..."only the good die young"

    most overrated..."2 minutes to midnight"

  • For me the most underrated song is Judas Be My Guide

  • Everyone forgot about "Die With Your Boots On", that's an awesome song, an underrated and forgotten classic.

  • hey great ^^

    but i dont think that killers is underrated...

  • wow, again great list from you!

    the more videos i watch the more i think we have the same taste (at least very close) ;-)

  • Thanks :) Check out my other videos too, thanks in advance!

  • Nice list, I agree except for No Prayer for the dying and Afraid to Shoot Strangers. it's just me but those songs are blah here's my 10 most underrated IM songs 10 Still Life 9 Strange World 8 Prodigal Son 7 Gangland 6 Only The Good Die Young 5 The Duellists 4 The Mercenary 3 Stranger In A Strange Land 2 Killers 1 Quest for Fire
  • I'm glad to see you mention Prodigal Son. That era has some underrated songs for sure, Innocent Exile, Another Life, Purgatory, Drifter etc. Gangland, Still Life, The Duellists, Quest For Fire are all fantastic too. I also think The Lonliness Of The Long Distance Runner, Mother Russia and Fear Is The Key are undervalued.

  • Yes, I totally agree with you. Thanks for watching.

  • Prodigal Son was a classic, they should've did it live. Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner was live, somewhere

  • @fuzzleredmenn al the fucking songs os iron maiden are underrated because they are gods and make masterpieces,not songs.

  • this is list of good songs, but not really underrated.....few of them are, but others not...

    i made vid with 10 underrated songs too you can check it out and tell me your opinion

  • Only 3 of those songs are underrated. "Gates Of Tomorrow" and "The Duellists" have never been played live, so they are definitely underrated. As is every song from "No Prayer For The Dying".

  • No Prayer For The Dying was my least favorite Maiden album in my opinion. i still like it a lot but i think fear of the dark and dance of death are better. again my opinion.

    Also, alot of Maiden songs are underrated, but that is mainly because people listen to one Maiden song, call it crap, and listen to modern rap bullshit.

  • all maiden is good..GO FUCK URSELF

  • these songs are not unrrated!!! maybe you dont know much about maiden

  • Sorry (underrated)

    Iron Maiden has been my favorite band since march 2009 and y knew all those songs

  • these are underrated in the fact that only iron maiden fans really know about them

  • Man are you sure ? These songs are NOT underrated at all... Where do you live ? Maybe there... ,Oh shit I can't say something logical about this even if you are not from our planet :-P

    P.S This was a well disposed comment.

    Greetings from Greece/Athens ^

  • Calm down :P I made this video a year ago, at that time I was into those songs and thought they were overlooked. Now this list would be completely different.

  • killers is an amazing song when sung by paul AND bruce. not an underrated song at all. that song was the second maiden song i listened to (born in 1995, so i missed most of their albums,) first song was the clairvoyant, another amazing amazing song

  • what a lame list...

  • IRON MAIDEN RULES, Every Song is a piece of work. Forever one of the best, most productive, most influencing metal bands. SONS OF METAL LIVE FOREVER.

  • These Colours Don't Run is my favorite song from AMOLAD.

    I agree that Afraid to Shoot Strangers is the most underrated, I loved it from the first time I heard it.

  • Underrated yes.

    I see that as a sign of quality. All the tunes you have listed are dam good songs, think about the rest?

  • Most underrated (and an awesome song) never played is "Back in the village"

    I just love that song!!!!

  • thats the first song to come to mind when i saw this post!

  • LOL INFINITE DREAMS!!! are you crazy? people beg Maiden to add it to the set list of any tour. Mother Russia? Afraid to shoot strangers? ah come on !

    Good you didn't made a top 15... I guess Rime or Hallowed  or trooper would be next, right? how about aces high?

  • the list made sense until Nr 5

  • ur top three is not underrated AT ALL

  • I totally missed The Prophecy and Montsegur. The only Blaze era song I like is Man on an edge, but I like the way Bruce sings it better.

    Like I said no hard feelings everyone has their on likes and dislikes. I think we can all agree on 1 thing Iron Maiden is a great band!

  • opinions are like assholes every body has one.LOL My deep cuts are

    Ghost of the navigator , Flash of the blades, Back to the village, Twilight zone,Purgatory,Murders in the rue morgue,Still life, Where eagles dare, Loneliness of the long distance runner and The Prisoner

  • and affraid to shhot strangers.. olso.. wtf..

  • seriosuly .. how can you say : no prayer for the dying.. it's in my top 3.. lol

  • I love Gates Of Tomorrow, the pre chorus/chorus is amazing.

    Up The Irons!

  • HOLY CRAP! I have been hunting this one song for so long, al i can remember is the riff melody. I was trying to find it o i can buy it. I thought by number 4 that i would never find it, so i settled for infinite dreams becasue i thought that the riff fir with the bass line. But i kept going and right when i stopped to preview afraid to shoot strangers it was right there! I am so happy!

  • not underrated songs, underated band. best band in the world and jouranlits dont give a shit cos they care more bout unsuccessful bands like mcfly. shitty pussy cat dolls sexy bodies. its anoying.

    same with megadeth and judas priest all great underated. there are famous because of us and fans.

    UP THE IRONS!!!

  • yeah dude theey all care about is black rappers and sexy bitches like shakira and they dont give a shit about real artists

  • @moonchild456 i agree thats why is MAIDEN so special,see in my point of view they dont need that publicity,because then every fuckin fool would listen MAIDEN,and there are a lot people who dont deserve to listen them,every 1 who really listen MAIDEN he is TOTAL FAN,like me for example

  • There's a few songs in there that I'd never class as underrated, as they go down a storm live. If you ask me there's many other truly underrated songs such as, 'Still Life', 'Quest For Fire', Sun and Steel', 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner', 'Moonchild', 'The Prophecy', 'Only The Good Die Young', 'Tailgunner', 'The Assassin', Mother Russia', 'Wasting Love', 'Sign of the Cross', 'Blood On the World's Hands', 'Don't Look to the Eyes of A Stranger', and so on... yes there's a few ;)

  • wow thats true, except mother russia is kinda catchy

  • Mother Russia is excellent yeah \m/

  • the most underrated album is X Factor

  • probably because its not bruce its blaze in that one

  • what the fuck??what do u mean by no.9??no more lies is not underrated!!

  • wtf. Infinite Dreams on number 4??

    Thats a fucking great song.

    Why isn`t it something from Blaze Bayleys era.

    My meaning is that two albums that BB was with Maiden sucks. Im sorry for that.

    And Afraid to shoot stranger am I agree with.

  • Ive got 1 song for you Prodigal Son terribly underated the riff in it is mind blowing. And of course well Iron Maiden are underated all together. Not a bad list anyway

  • Two Worlds Collide Lightning Strikes Twice Judas My Guide The Fugitive Weekend Warrior The Apparition Run Silent Run Deep Dejà Vú Purgatory Etc, Etc, Etc My dream would be to listen just one of these ones on the car radio.
  • im with you i would love to see weekend warrior live

  • To Tame A Land from Piece Of Mind.

  • From the blaze era, "Como Estais Amigos"

  • nice song

  • Oh and I forgot 2 AM which is one of my favourite songs.
