Bruce Dickinson - Jerusalem (LIVE)

[braziosp]

on stage,god!

[maryo94]

I've been writing a song recently and I realized that the chords were the same as in here. THIS IS SO PERFECT SONG!

[essedra]

Can someone analyze the song for me, please? What does he man by the lyrics of the song "Jerusalem" ?

[stusixtyone]

@essedra its the "unofficial" anthem for england. from a poem by william blake.

always sung at englands rugby matches.

hope that helps

[TurtleFL]

@stusixtyone Sure helped me. :) I'm a believer in the theory of the Israelite origins of the Celts and Saxons. Didn't know it's the unofficial anthem of England.

[thesecretkeyoflife]

Perfect sound, perfect voice, perfect playing for a live concert...!!! ...and of course a perfect song...!!! BRAVO!!!

[Dirtydorothy031]

One of the best songs ever made :)))))

[kyla2112]

wow! what a different arrangement from ELP's version. Very cool though.

[gilus55]

great

[pgPaich]

Bruce is king of metal ! we'll wait the return of this king :) !

[marquezmargaret0]

this song would be killer in one of the narnia movies

[Dangersheep2]

It's good but , Emerson Lake & Palmer really give it more....of everything

[marquezmargaret0]

@Dangersheep2 this is a totally different version of the song than emerson lake and palmer--i remember that one as well--both give me chills

[megaman297]

@fungfurs is rob halford hahaha jk long live bruce lol

[megaman297]

Bruce : we're gonna play just about fucking everything lol

[bayknight20]

@fungfurs make sure that C_N-O Sharon knows that!

[pumping2]

I love his songs just like Maiden's.Many of his songs sound like medieval melodies

[patton303]

I love how the Brazilian audience just picked up on the 6/8 time signature....

My fellow white yanks would fall over trying to count that.

[Chaserbl]

let it rain

[marspars]

when Iron Maiden were initiated, they they were pretty much into violence and horror, etc. and the music were average, but little by little they started to remove violence and started to focus on music and then it started to become fucking awesome, but I think that Iron Maiden is nothing without Bruce Dickinson, he gives it an edge. (sorry if my english fails somehow, not so good in it). Anyway i have writed a fucking long note, so Up The Irons!!!

[megaman297]

@marspars nah maiden was already a beast of a band,bruce allowed some amazing music to be written with his vocal range though and i enjoy his time on maiden more than paul's, i mean really number of the beast was just legendary

[70Mack]

This is REALLY REALLY REALLY GREAT!!!

[elvenism]

This stuff kills me....  It s so great....

[jodischram]

He is still one of the best song writers to date <3

[Priestking1000]

@jodischram though he had help from William Blake..

[gilsonmetal1]

Scream for me Vinhedo...I was there

[bassistdave109]

Let it rain, let it rain! Let me see again.

[OneEyedJack1970]

That was pretty freaking awesome.

[averagenikki]

from the frozen waters, the king will rise again

with two suns in the skyyyyyyYYYYY

i shall not cease from mental flight

nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

'til we have built jerusalem

in england's green in pleasant land

LET IT RAIN!

God bless you bruce! one of the best from TCW. his solo stuff is VERY underrated.

[sebomckagen]

isn witz

[stormofdream]

The Best

[Uptheironsserbia666]

Best singer ever! May you live forever Bruce!

[NekysAcherontios]

ummm...eddie is still around you know

and they havent really changed

and this is solo dickinson not maiden so i cant really see the connection

i would also recoomend the killing floor it is from the same album :)

[jdcontrol]

Great tune, the Jethro Tull influence really shows up on this one.

[HELLAWAITS5556]

the original song used to be a soialist hymn

[AphexTwin84]

I prefer the studio version because it has the outro in the end , but this is really good .

[lioubinos99]

amazing song,well done bruce...like it more live than studio

[miaparami]

I think it's a good band, i am a believer but that doesn't offend me, cause it's music and only that, while you create and not to cling to everything they say , I love their music! are the best in the world, but not offend me (: do not combine music with religion ...

[nsalexandre]

Só de imaginar que estava na fila da loja woodstock (ainda existe?) para comprar um ingresso para esse show já valeu a lembrança. Em algum lugar devo ter a relíquia do ticket desse show "extra" na qual essa bela canção foi tocada...

[HeadNtheClouds]

I really like this song.... What a long strange trip it's been....

[MultipleScrotum]

They were NEVER all about the devil, for Gods sake.

[HeadNtheClouds]

well, it actually was, not that they were telling you to go worship the devil, bt their songs were about evil & they played that up in their demeanor on stage & in their music. I guess you had to be there back then, , things are different now, we were a messed up generation back then. & I love this song, I want to download this..

[MultipleScrotum]

I know where you are comming from, and what you are seeing. The songs you are refering too were more biblical, and apocalyptic. The songs speeking of the Devil in essence, were more of warnings of what he embodies, rather than glorifying him. So, those songs were more about stories of people faltreing, and the wrongs that come of those failures, rather than actually being about Satan. The songs were about people, and what different lives go through.

[irlanda516]

Very nice response. I agree with you totally. That's how I try to explain it as well. I really don't believe that Iron Maiden promoted evil in anyway; most of their songs refer to literature anyway, so when they sing about things that refer to evil, they are simply refering to the Bible as literature. That's personally how I see it.

[MultipleScrotum]

Absolutely. Thanks man!

[Excder]

i must admit that this was well said. While Maiden was NEVER pro-satin they did use a "dark" stage set and some "dark" lines in there music. But that was what was amazing about them. The way they did it was amazing and one one will ever duplicate them. well put man

[DaveTheFuckingBrave]

just because songs are ABOUT evil or the devil or stuff like that it does not mean that the members of the band are into evil and satanistic stuff Oo'

they just like the topic, the setting, the feeling of this dark stuff.

Listen to for the greater good of god for example.

[HeadNtheClouds]

yeah I know,, I was just trying to talk/express, about what the old days were like. Everyone was in such panic about heavy metal music & today, it is no big deal, they even put the songs on a video game, but we (me) were continuously attacked for listening to Maiden, Metallica, Ozzy, etc.. it's just funny how today, ozzy is on a reality TV show, but back then, they made us burn his albums & protest outside record stores & concerts, about going to hell etc... just funny how things changed..

[DaveTheFuckingBrave]

interesting!

kind of stupid, of you think how people reacted to maiden's music back then.

it was so NOT evil and NOT satanic at all

[HeadNtheClouds]

Yeah, I know! It caused a lot of problems for me. You know, when people start treating you like a criminal, or devil worshiper & that's what they expect you to be, then I started believing I was a bad person & it actually caused me to act out in negative ways bcause that's how all the metal people acted. I am happy to see that now, people treat music as that, it's music/art, not evil! Acceptance of music has changed & I am glad, cause it made my life hell back then, it was so stupid! RockOn

[OJJVZ]

@DaveTheFuckingBrave

ahwell, some people are just a bit narrowminded, atleast we know the truth :)

but atleast after AMOLAD there is no option of calling them satanic anymore, they had some nice messages in them and some references to jesus...

[DaveTheFuckingBrave]

but they also sung "we can relate how we made god with our hands"

[mordacity85]

Good track , not heard the live version before now , and tbh i couldn't tell the diference between the studio version. This is that good.

[Excder]

"they where all about the devil"..........where did you get you info from man?????

[megaman297]

Yeah, and number 1 overall vocalist too.

[NieXS20]

<3 this song so hard

[heavyFan2]

I don't understand why in the list of 100 best rock male voices he is ONLY 15'th.

[m4xfl4xst4r]

envy

[megaman297]

only 15? wow he should be number 1 !

[DaveTheFuckingBrave]

yeah, wtf who is better than him according to the list?

[SirJamestheIII]

i think roadrunner did a list of rock vocalists and bruce was #2 but robert plant was 1

[MaximusDucius]

(4:12-4:40)

The King ang Queen will dwell.... in our heaaaaaaaaaaaarts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[umbrasilurum]

Thank you for posting this wonderful live version of a brilliant song. When William Blake wrote his original poem, he was referring in specific detail to an historical event. There's a lot more about this on the Eternal Idol site, and Bruce's song is mentioned in the book "The Missing Years of Jesus."

[Brythalious]

A great version of Jerusalem

[vahataini]

Bruce is so amazing... and this song is his best

[enunes007]

This song is amazing... I was in the first concert and lost it... my goodness

[dominfly]

scream for me bruce, for ever...............

[dominfly]

la voce piu' bella del panorama metal.

much rispect for him.

[medazero]

Mostruosamente emozionante. Bellissimo video e pezzo. 10000 stelle

[iminmyheart]

bruce = god

[GabrielHLeal]

I wish I was there

[ToxicJessamine]

I wish he would do a tour of his solo career.

[deathengine2]

i think bruce looks beta now

he is a god

[LarsUlrichFan1988]

That song is AMAZING, I love it! Its one of his best songs, its so great!

He should do more of this kind

[fazercrypton]

Bruce Dickinson = N1 for ever and ever.

[ironozzyfan]

does anyone know why he stopped his solo career

[Classikmetal2007]

He hasn't really...he said he is planning on another album sometime soon (maybe after he records the new Maiden album?). His record contract still has about 2 or 3 more albums left for him to record, though. He just has stopped touring, that's all. ;)

[AgentFour]

Well I hope he hasn't stopped touring his solo stuff. I'd love to see some of Tyranny of Souls live.

[Excder]

isnt HE his own record contract? like he recorded ToS and Chemical Wedding through Air Raid Records right? but any who bring on the new maiden and the new bruce!!!!!!

[fearofthedark88]

hes not done with his solo career.

maiden has been super busy.

dance of death tour 03-04

early days tour 05 amolad tour 06-07

Somewhere back in time tour 08-09

they havent really stopped for 5 years.

and in the mist of that bruce released tyranny in 05 but with no tour.

can you blame him?

[SAMagic]

This track is amazing live, thanks for posting it.

I wish we'd get a Tyranny of Souls tour! Bruce has said he'd love to do one but never got a chance after the album came out.

Of course, it'd _have_ to be called... Touranny of Souls. :-D

[NeiraoUdreAd]

@ironozzyfan He didn't

he returned to iron maiden, and after that he already released at least one solo album.

if he doesn't release more is because he doesn't feel need.

UP THE IRONS

This is from The Chemical Romance. One of the best songs on the album for sure. The other song I liked was The Book of Thel.

[Classikmetal2007]

The Chemical WEDDING. Sorry, just had to correct that. I agree with ya, Book Of Thel and Jerusalem are the best out of C.W.
