  • This is a MASTERPIECE. Wow!

  • This is so fucking EPIC,just like a whole band.!!! :)

  • Tiny Tim was there @ 1:52

  • The best fucking song in the fucking world!

  • I know it's not loud enough because I can't feel the bass

  • I love this, although I remember picking up the arm of my record player to skip the quiet bit, not because I didn't like it but because I was always in a hurry to get to the bit that followed it!

  • This is the most epic adventurous song of all time in my opinion! Wonderful lyrics, beautiful notes on brilliant instruments, this is Maiden at it's best!

  • haha listening to this while playing Age of empires 3

  • ____Bruce is just phenomenal !!!

  • Only one black man like Iron Maiden :P (0:20)

  • wena!

    

  • The sweet thing about Iron Maiden is that poser fags who like screamo would usually say they don't like bands like Metallica, Pantera, or Black Sabbath, but Iron Maiden seems to be universally hailed.

  • SIMPLEMENTE IMPRESIONANTES

  • I sat exactly where the stage was 2 weeks after this concert at a nets game. And i discovered that maiden existed a year later. How pathetic.

  • 0:36 ..i feel you brother.

  • for fuck's sake keep the cameras on the band and not the crowd - whats the matter with you ?

  • i can't live without this song..

  • DISLIKERS OF MUSIC LIKE THIS ARE JEALOUS PRICKS

  • @ 1:23 Jack Blacks twin???

  • "Day after day, day after day

    We stuck nor breath nor motion

    As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean

    Water, water, everywhere, and all the boards did shrink

    Water, water, everywhere, not any drop to drink"

  • @JujubaMaiden .....NOR any drop to drink

  • @sockington1 ;)

  • there is NO song like this one in this world

  • @unyascorpion yeah there is Hallowed be thy name, Alexander the great, Dream of mirrors and many other Maiden master pieces are jsut as good as this killer song \m/

  • I love Steve Harris' chrome pick-guards

  • @biffgriffiths done as a tribute to Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy, who are a massive influence on Maiden

  • "This is what not to do if your bird shits on you" Bruce is awesome

  • Majestic!

  • There's no other band to be like that. Writing lyrics based on a classic poem which deals with hurting creatures and its curse, making it almost 14 minutes song with absolutely no let down parts, fantastic melodies, great riffs, great vocals, great bass performance and solos, spot on drums and two incredible solos by Adrian Smith and Dave Murray. This is what I call art, this is what I call music, this is what I call soul.

    Up the Irons !

  • @BlackenedThunder: Word up! Nicely put!

  • 6 people are still sailing

  • Comment removed

  • I am not afraid of modern day pop because I know that only true music goes onto history, true music speaks to me, this song relates a story that speaks to me, makes me feel like I'm there. Thank you Iron Maiden!

  • (4:39) Haha, epic face! xD

  • 1984 - PowerSlave

    TOP 1 Iron Maiden sem dúvidas

  • Six geniuses. Period.

  • Bruce's voice actually sounds better here than on the studio version. And of course they all perform fantastically!

  • Im 15. I HATE. HATE. HATE music from today. Its just so fucking pathetic. But whats more pathetic is that I have yet see a live maiden concert. Just watching concerts on youtube urges me to go to one more and more. I hated music until Iron Maiden came into my spirit. I practically owe my life to these guys because before I heard their music I had nothing to enjoy in life. Maiden is by far the best music EVER. I cant say another word. If the music produced after I was born,1996, it sucks. Period.

  • @toonman81 I feel the same way man. I'm 13 and I'd have nothing to live for without real music (rock/metal). But one thing...

    Listen to the Lateralus album by Tool. That was 2001 if I'm correct. There's still SOME good music being made but it ain't easy to find.

  • @toonman81 Iron Maiden did produce music after 1996 and that sound good.

  • @toonman81 what about maiden's new albums? I'm just saying they produced a few albums after 1996 haha

  • @toonman81 im 12 and ive seen maiden 3 times :)

  • @RaHrR1 Its because you live in a big city :/ I live in teh corner of the world and I saw them once and now when they are retiering im very sad cause I won't get the chance to see them live again so I have to satisfy with the concert clips ://

  • @toonman81 Opeth begs to disagree :P Seriously, go check them out. They gave me faith in music made after 1995

  • @toonman81

    this is just wrong. there's THOUSANDS of amazing, creative and brilliuant artists from the 90's and 00's. you're just to you/ignorant/blind to see/LOOK FOR THEM.

    also, yay you're 15, nobody cares. you know how many teens love maiden? FUCKING MILLIONS. your'e not special. and saying you had nothing good in your life besides maiden when you're here on youtube makes you sound like a spoiled entitled brat.

  • @phili666 Well looking at the 36 thumbs up and a top comment, I just made a fucking point. Moron.

  • so you're saying 36 people confirm that thousands of great artists don't exist?

    you're an idiot, you know fuck all about music iuf you shun 2 decades of music that have some of the most inventive music ever made. 90's metal is amazing,a nd 00's metal is great. especially considering the prog metal explosion in both decades bvut you don't know shit about music do you?

    i should let it go considering you're young, but god you're musically ignorant, don't give a shit if you get thumbs

  • @phili666 Screamo music is a disgrace to metal, and there is absolutely no question that the songwriting is not nearly as complex and creative as it was before the 2000's. The only modern metal bands I've heard that stick to their Heavy Metal roots were formed in the 90's, and/or are Stoner/Doom Metal.

  • @69ofdoom

    screamo isn't even a subgenre of metal. if you refer to music with harsh vocals then you're EXTREMELY close minded and are only listening to about 5% of modern metal, and it's the worst part of modern metal.

    it's far more creative and complex, ever since the prog metal explosion of the 90's

  • @phili666 No, not simply harsh vocals. I wouldn't call myself a Pantera fan if I disliked a bit of rasp in the heavy vocals. However, I am referring to breakdowns, and all bands who use these uncreative, overused, "riffs."

  • @69ofdoom

    you mean hardcore, metalcore and deathcore? if so then i entirely agree. it's overproduced, uninspired, uncreative rubbish. they're more hardcore than metal so i generally don't even consider them metal bands

    death metal and other extreme metal subgenres though are totally different.

  • @phili666 Bands such as Cannibal Corpse are alright by me, but most "metal" nowadays is music like Bring Me the Horizon and shit. I refer to screamo as "metal" (complete with quotation marks to imply sarcasm) because it has no roots in music like Black Sabbath and Metallica. Death Metal is extremely different, but the most popular form of heavy music nowdays is "metal," in my age group most people listen to "metal," where as only a few listen to Heavy Metal.

  • @69ofdoom

    ah i know what you mean. for the record, theses stilla huge amount of amazing metal bands coming out in the death metal scene, they#re juyst not getting noticed. BMTH are a disgrace

  • @69ofdoom Most metal nowadays is underground, and metal like all music is MUCH more varied than in the old days. The shit you refer to is just the one new thing getting noticed, but GREAT metal and music in general is still being made. Tons of it, in fact. More than ever before. You just have to find it.

    Just from the area I was born in, I can easily name several great heavy/metal bands, like Profane Omen (Wastehead), Kill the Romance (Blood Bell), Before the Dawn (Deadsong) etc.

  • @toonman81 Maiden still tours fairly widely. It'll put a dent in your wallet, but tickets are definitely affordable.

  • Como me Encantasss Iron Maiden!!!

  • iron maiden is my religion \,,/

  • This was too epic my left eye went blind!!

  • My point was about contracts and the music business. To release that, with him being ill was just plain "greed" on the part of the record co. That album(Live after death) had me thinking he couldn't sing live, only in the studio. The concerts I've been finding on here, blow it out of the water.

  • Greatest song of all time.

  • 2013 I will make 2 million dollars and will contract Iron Maiden for a private concert. just wait and see....

  • Bruce sounds great! Unlike that piece of shit "live after death" that was released with his voice blown. I always thought he sucked live because of that album. But that's what happens when you're "under contract" in this shitty industry! You have to release a piece of shit before the deadline.

  • @MrNashguitar1

    Live After Death is the best live album of all time. Bruce was ill on that concert but the others were fantastic and the setlist was perfect.

  • Iron Maiden is the best fuckin' band EVER!!!

    UP THE IRONS!!!

  • I prefer it live with regard to live after death, bruce sings more just

  • A black dude listening to Heavy Metal? Something aint right.

    0:40

    Just to clarify its a joke.

  • Bruce Dickinson is the best singer evar he gots the best vocals xDD ever :D Look alive Iron maiden will kill

  • Bruce Dickinson sings this song FLAWLWSLY!!!! Greatest singer of all tiem!! Greatest band of all time!!!!!!!UP THE IROSN!

  • @sydjimiizzy Live or not....it's EPIC! :)

  • Damn... Love that bass-line. Wish I could play that good bass!!

  • @zamg0d1 It's easy to play man. I'm not that good player, and I do it alright. But Steve wrote this whole thing man. THIS is hard.

  • Awesome............

  • iron maide is my religion

  • O, mighty Leviathan Iron Maiden, I bow down unto Thee.

  • I love iron maiden...they r the gods of music

    all iron maiden fans if u cud pls like the page callled " Up the Irons - Iron Maiden" on fb it wud help me alot to put iron maiden out to the worlld

  • Great Performance!!

  • I was at this show when this was being recorded. The video really doesn't do how god damn amazing it was live.

  • you fan's of this group show the level of education you have by having to use curse words whil you are expressing yourself . It does not take much talent to strum a guitar on bang on some drums. try to do something like bach or a symphony, now, your iron maiden can't HOLD A CANDLE TO THEM. HA HA YOU IGNORANT FOOLS.

  • @kinyaets I've played symphonies before and i also play metal. Its the same thing, just a different style of music, so know what you are talking about before you start to talk trash.

  • @kinyaets Then it must be very easy to just wave your hands around in the air and "conduct" other people who have all the talent and we are the ignorant ones? I would like to see you try to "strum a guitar on bang on some drums" and come up with a song as good as this. P.S. I quoted right out of your comment try to notice your grammar fail.

  • Comment removed

  • @kinyaets Ah yes, we the fans of a band who are celebrated for their near unrivalled musicality in the genre, with painstakingly crafted intricate 3 part guitar harmonies and melodic bass lines, over virtuosic drum rhythm with a world class frontman, we are clearly both uneducated and ignorant. Yet you on your plinth of righteousness are a bastion of good taste and your poorly constructed unjournalistic lambasting of the arts, and ridiculing of talent is nothing like ignorance. NOT!

  • @kinyaets Wow, I thought pop fans were ignorant of classical music, how about these exclusive classical music fans? I was raised on classical music, and if you actually listen to them, you'll hear that Maiden has an ability in songwriting that I have yet to come across in any other kind of modern music, they can completely change the tempo/time signature/key of a song in a way that if anybody else tried to do it, it would not have anywhere near the same flow. Ignorant fools? What are you, then?

  • This is not what to do IF A BIRD SHITS ON YOU!!!!!!! THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER!!!!!!! UP THE FUCKING IRONS FROM TRINIDAD!!! \m/

  • BRUCE IS FUCKIN EPIC MAN!!!! after 20 fckin years he still got taht song!!!

  • damn! New Jersey was crazy.

  • If these guys were ninjas they would be 10th degree grandmasters.

  • WATER WATER EVERYWHERE!

  • balls. it takes balls to play this epic song live.

    I love it

  • @sydjimiizzy It is mate

  • Fav MAIDEN song... and wasted years, Powerslave, and hey-- they all KICK ASS... and if anyone cares, at 0:17 and 0:20 that light blue thing just to the right of center screen is my vest I painted of EDDIE as the Ancient Mariner. My nephew wore it in June of 08 in Camden & I wore it in Pittsburgh in 2010.... UP THE IRONS \M/ \M/

  • i TOTALLY AGREE WITH BIGMANJU100. mAIDEN IS THE SHIT!

  • can you believe that avenged sevenfold got best vocalists over bruce, and synster gates beat dave,adrian and janicik?! must be rigged...

  • Brilliant song!! I'm sad that they didn't played it in Arnhem ;(( It's always been one of my favourite Maiden songs..Adrian and Dave sound awsome!

  • @MsFinalfrontier ook naar geldredome geweest?

  • saw IM in 1988 at the Worcester Centrum, MA stopped listening for some forgotten reason but just recently rediscovered them and happy to have done so

  • metallica singing is better?OMG MATE BRUCE IS the no1 frontman

  • @mousikos123

    Ohh yeah!

  • @metallicaman31130

    YOU SUCK!! iron maiden is way better than metallica , metallica is good! but no like iron maiden !

  • @metallicaman31130 Yeah, and Elvis Presley still alive. Stupid fuck.

  • Metallica is great too but we cant copare them to the Irons

  • and people try to compare iron maiden to metallica? ...

  • Iron Maiden are the greates band of all time, fronted by the greatest singer of all time!! UP THE IRONS!!!

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan Bruce is not frontman. THOUGH HE IS THE BEST SINGER!

  • @N0BLEONLINE Who's frontman then? It's not Steve, neither any of the other band members. So we can say... Bruce is frontman.

  • @zamg0d1 I say is Steve because they say it on the 666 documentary. It's Steve's band, but Bruce is the singer so he's the one who leads onstage. Everything in Maiden goes through Harris' eyes so he is the boss. And second in command is Dave Murray. They are a very equal band though, that's why the kick ass.

  • @sydjimiizzy yeah it is, believe me it was so fuckingg amazingg

  • When i was about 8 years old, must have been around 1990, i stole the Powerslave cassette tape from my older brother. Everytime he would leave the house i'd sneak in his room, close the curtains and use his radio and play it till my ears dropped. Later that year me and the family went on holiday and i got my first ever walkman for my birthday and i can remember only bringing one cassette tape with me, the Powerslave album!! And 20 years later i am stilling fucking listening to it...

  • "around his neck the dead bird is hung!"

    2:24

  • @ 5:19 I seen it!! Sweeeeeeet fucking triplets!! I thought he was using a double pedal...awesome!!

  • Lol Shashme?

    Metallica will become a classic just like Iron Maiden dude! The fact you don't like Metallica don't make their lyrics or songs being bad. I love Iron Maiden and also Metallica, both bands are great, and both have awesome lyrics and music. "One" is a badass tale, just like "The rime", just not THAT epic.

    Anyways, i'm a fan of both!

  • @BocaFlambado we like great music .... without any comparation!!

  • @BocaFlambado

    Iron Maiden existed long before Metallica, and honestly Metallica lost their Metalsoul with their new Albums, filed under "Pop" in the shops, they decided for the quick Dollar, not the Metal.

  • @BocaFlambado Metallica is all about the epic instrumentals like Orion and Call of Ktulu

  • @BocaFlambado Metallica is already classic - but whereas Iron Maiden is still putting out badass albums and sound great live, Metallica struggles with their albums and sound like a cross between KISS and T Rex live. BIG DIFFERENCE.

  • @BocaFlambado mettalica is a classic, but pleese, don't compare them to Iron Maiden, come on, james can't sing anymore like he used to do. look at Bruce, he is 60, and look how he sings? Iron Maiden will remain the best Heavy Metal and in general Metal band EVER. this don't mean i don't like metallica.

  • @Metallaro66

    Not to nitpick but Bruce is 52, almost 53 I think?

  • @ViperLord21 he's not jung

  • @BocaFlambado  i'm a fan of both too, but maiden is away better

  • 3:04??? I don't like that shirt! That triangle with the eye in the middle represents Illuminati symbol and I don't like them either... :/

  • @shashme um...so are Iron Maiden!! tons of prople at my high school listen to Iron Maiden, more so then GnR and Metallica

  • You need a proof that God exists?Watch from 3:29 to 3:31.How many guitar players have their guitars FUCKIN' SHINE?!!!STEVE HARRIS IS GOD!

  • the best

    

  • the best

  • I have 16 years ago ,when I go to parties I have to endure stupid rhythms no sense to me, or worse regaeton Songs (worst crap), I think that I should be born earlier so that we might be in a concert of 80, maiden, to feel the beatles, pink floyd see all its members, or to see Metallica when they were trash. In the end I was born too late, but Maiden returns me all the encouragement, and thanks to him I can live.

  • I saw this live in 1984, and it was awesome!

  • @deminize I think he ment where they were doing the horns at each other playing the open E string.

  • did the guy at 2:55 get ejected from the concert or is crowd surfing allowed on maiden s lives?

  • @trickybasket It is allowed to 'stage-dive' but for your safety they grab you, so you don' t faceplant or try to reach Iron Maiden. After that they 'invite' you to go with the crowd again

  • "this is what not to do, if a bird shits on you" XD

  • The bird shits on you :)

  • Esse musica owna tudo.

  • So, some kid at school said some fuckin band called Nile is better than Maiden.

    What the fuck, can someone tell me who Nile is? Because not even if God made a band could it beat Maiden.

  • @MeltedDeath Maiden IS the band God created

  • @KingCliffBurton I told the kid that. He just laughed and deathgrowled some shit about Satan.

    

  • @KingCliffBurton Yea... God = Steve

  • @MeltedDeath Nile is a great great band. One of my favourites (as Iron Maiden is). But you can't compare them with Maiden because there are two completely different styles. Nile plays death metal. And, of course and unfortunately, both bands have a lot of pathetic fans like that poor kid.

    If you're into technical death metal and folclore and history and stuff like that, I can assure you must listen to Nile. If not, forget it.

  • @nihilofilia I do like both of those. Very well, I thank you sir.

  • @sydjimiizzy haha yeah, belgrade 2007 and 2009! Up the Irons! \m/

  • @sydjimiizzy haha yeah, belgrade 2007 and 2009! Up the Irons! \m/

  • 2:38 supergay!

  • @sydjimiizzy oooo yes it its ! :D

  • the mariner never dies, fuck yeah!

  • 2:54 hell yeah man rock on!
