  • meh its still not bruce singing

  • They cut a good song from a good album -.- Blaze can pull his own

    especially now as a solo musician plus his wolfsbane era was

    beast!! maiden didnt work with his voice correctly or else we'll have great

    masterpieces like his solo work or wolfsbane!! up the irons \m/

  • i'm a unicorn....

  • I just heard this song for the first time a couple of weeks ago when I purchased the B Sides CD...Been a long time Maiden fan since the early 90's...This song rocks...All the Blaze Era songs (1994-1999) were very good...

  • why did they cut this song? its amazing!

  • One of my favorites songs, though the guitar solos are very lame. Nice vocals here.

  • The X Factor and Virtual XI were so much better than given credit too! Love them!!!

  • @BrolyPowerslave I agree with you 100%

    Cheers!

  • Luv iron maiden \m/

  • its a very good song. it should be definitely on x factor, instead of many others

  • This is a killer tune not sure why it wasn't on the album instead of the B sides...Much better tune than judgement of heaven, fortunes of war or the unbeliever.

  • @steeltormentorband fortunes of war = one of the best X factor songs imo, such nice lyrics and feeling, judgement of heaven is also golden

  • not rare man its asewome but a dont like how souns blaze voice with iron maiden

  • i think that janick gers is a great metal song writter because most o his song are completely heavy

  • WHY was this not included onThe X Factor? Its speed would have been a nice contrast to the otherwise very slow album

  • @LordKalakukko There already is Man on the Edge, though..

  • @TheDeckinator Yeah, Man on the Edge is different from the rest, but that's just one out of 11 songs

  • best band ever !!!!

  • (continued) then find out the keys are in your pocket

  • I don't like blaze and I'm glad bruce is back but if this and doctor doctor had been featured on x factor I really think that blaze would have made more albums with maiden. And honestly all of the songs on x factor had a really slow start up to the metal or didn't even speed up at all but this is really upbeat. This one song could have made the entire album better and helped blaze stuck around. It's kinda like when you're locked out of your house and you break the window to get back in and then

  • After May 21st, I had to listen to this XD!

  • Best song for may 21st, 2011

  • @Shinobi729

    Nah. Try Where The Wild Wind Blows from the new album.

  • you dont now what is rare...look at alaska song run with the pack...you cant find it in shops...you cant find download of this song...and its only one upload on youtube...and its have less tha 3000 view....but song its still great!!

  • there are quite a few rare ones, arent there? some come from the b-side of a tape from japan, others from winning the olympics or something.

  • Don't understand why this and Virus were out of The X-Factor...

    Now I understand why Steve was suffering this time, this suffering has striken his mind...

  • @GlaucoPantoja. that songs should have been in virtual XI

  • lol this song got 98k views now so i don't think it's rare anymore

  • @MaidenOfTheMaidens lol your right

  • @MaidenOfTheMaidens (8K??/ Im seeing 117K + .... Good Rare Ive never heard, its only Rare ...B4 You eat it.. with your Brain!!! UP THE BLAZEING MAIDEN!!!

  • @TheBadboybrian The views were 98k when I wrote the comment :P Yeah Up the Irons ! not only the blaze maiden :D everyone is fucking awesome.

  • @MaidenOfTheMaidens I have to Agree 100% !!! \m/

  • This is a GREAT song, but Dickinson would have blown the roof off of this.

  • MAIDEN ARE MAIDEN WHAN DICKINSON SINGS FOR THEM..Di'anno was good but Bayley is a deam gorila he sucks...dickinson 4 ever <3

  • blaze.....douche.....bruce....­..epic sauce on toast

  • Why they didin't put this on x factor THIS SONG FUCKING ROCKS!!!!

  • even if they had no singer, Iron Maiden will always be the best metal out there =]

  • lol this is one of the best Blaze songs and they put it on a b side????

  • It´s not rare anymore. Officially realeased by Maiden :P

    Great song!

  • is this album cover referred to this song?

  • i think blaze has better voice than bruce,but bruce has better control of his own voice,and is technically better singer,bayley has made 2 awesome albums of Maidens,so i love him as i love bruce,maidens are the best.

    paul is cool 2 btw

  • Amazing that they dropped that from the album, maybe it did not fit the mood of the album. This would have been the best song on that poor album.

  • Maiden tells THE truth.

  • ok honestly gyus... i really like the final frontier but this song here,doesnt it sound 100% more maiden in your ears than their new album? and by the way X Factor was pure maiden album...thats my opinion..

  • @wiltzer1 totally man , love that theyre still going and making new music and a lot of it is good but a little lifeless. seems to have lost the gallop sound and the fun since all the songs are ten hours long now. X factor is one of my fave songs but there`s so much variety in that one song that it doesnt mater that its so long. I want Maiden to play heavy metal on the synthesizer!

  • @mrpranny what are u talking about? Maiden doesn't have a song called X factor -.-. You must be referring to the X factor album instead.

  • I have no idea why the fuck these songs didnt make it to the album...these songs are way better than most of the stuff that did make it to the album!

  • here's an interesting though: Iron Maiden with a female vocalist

  • Maiden are too good for bayley! The earlier vocalists and Bruce are way better!! Still..UP THE IRONS!!!

  • Blaze Bayler SUCKS.

  • @G0dher0 it's Blaze BAYLEY. and he'd rip your head off.

  • @jonnnyharsh I misstyped it, and no he wouldn't, he's like 5'6 i could beat him to hell.

  • @G0dher0 he might not rip your head off but thats because he's a nice bloke and suprisingly un-bitter about all the people who think they know better than steve harris about the direction HIS band went through in the 90's. but anyway, an attack on Blaze is an attack on iron maiden itself, and that would result in me repeatedly hacking your limbs off with my broadsword while i listen to "the clansman" on an ipod and scream "FREEEEEDOOOOOOM!!!"

  • @jonnnyharsh I would bet any amount of money that I am a bigger Iron Maiden fan than you are, I just don't like blaze.

  • @G0dher0 A bigger fan then me!? tell that to my broadsword!! by the way i'm eight feet tall and have a bionic arm and will kill you because killing you will somehow prove i'm the bigger fan!!!....ok that wasnt very nice of me.i'm sad now. but you saying Blaze sucks wasnt nice either. he has feelings. and he did his best. plus steve thought he was the right man to sing in iron maiden. some of the songs he sang DID suck though. like "judgement of heaven".... i'm gonna go watch braveheart again....

  • @G0dher0 shut up! you cant even type his own name!

  • @simoatso Blaze Bayley. Just did it, didn't I? I guarantee I'm a bigger Maiden fan than you, just Blaze can't sing.

  • @G0dher0 well how old when you first started liking Iron Maiden at all? i will say that i was 4 years old then.

  • @simoatso dude i'm 13.. I've only liked them for 3 years and I know every song have every album over a dozen Maiden shirts.. I have Maiden shoes dude! trust me, I'm a bigger fan.

  • @G0dher0 Mr. Blaze can't sing?? Are you kidding right?? Because after true masterpieces such as Promise and Terror and The Man Who Wouldn't Die, that statement can only be placed in between "haha, I`m joking..."

  • @PsycoCruser Mr Blaze still can't sing.

  • This song appears in the bonus of the X factor album, the CD bonus contains this song, and Justice of the peace and I'm not sure but I guess the Aftermath live.

  • This should have been on The X Factor instead of 2am or The Unbeliever :)

  • @Robinott93 i love 2am but it unfortunately blends with all the other brooding songs surrounding it. now "judgement of heaven" THATS bad. i shudder when i hear that one.

  • Awesome song!

    Intro is so nice! :D

  • its sounds better then some other songs on X factor

    better then fortunes of war, the unbeliever and the edge of darkness

  • woh this number owns sateliet 15

  • Yea I agree with everyone asking why this was cut. Most of X Factor was much worse than this. I think it's because the songwriting and production on this song was more like Fear of the Dark stylistically than whatever they were trying to do on X Factor with the muddled sound and 20-minute instrumental snoozefests.

  • one of the best songs of maiden 

  • iron maiden just rules. Bruce, Paul and Blaze all sing good. i´ve heard lots of songs and they keep surprising me.

  • THE BESTEST PART IS 0:00 TO 4:09!

  • I think that this song and I Live My Way should have been on the X Factor. They could have cut out 2 AM and The Unbeliever instead :)

  • Why did they cut this from the album? It is awesome, love the meaning behind the lyrics.

  • really really good Maiden sound but Blaze is Just too low for being frontman of a band like Maiden

  • I am really glad that so many people have the same question as me. Why the hell they didn't put it in the album? It's better than all of the songs in it!!

  • virus was cut and that is without a doubt the best blaze song...hell it rivals aces high

  • Metal heads never could spell.

  • it's Maiden! I've it on the "Eddie's Archive" and on the single "Man On The Edge", but why was this song cut from the album? it's a really good song!

  • this song is great ouhh yeahhh

  • Seriously, why was this song cut from the album?

  • This song kick ASS!!! Blaze is a amazing singer! UP THE IRONS!!!!

  • Why was this cut from the album? Is this song actually played live? If ANYBODY has a live video of this to prove that Iron Maiden sang this song, please post it. This song is some of the purest metal I've ever heard! Up the Irons!

  • i have it on cd best of b-sides i think it is maiden

  • well... "The X Factor" and "virtual x" are not the best albums of iron maiden but this song here is ok^^

  • I think 'The X Factor' and 'Virtual X' where the most refreshing albums they did...

  • @BASTARDTimmy

    I agree.. without Blaze Maiden wouldn't exist today.

  • BLAZE!!

  • UP THE IRONS!!!!

  • LONG LIVE TO BLAZE

  • This comment is illmannered ! Up the Blaze and Iron !!! Very good song

  • Love this song. They should have included it on the album, or saved it for Virtual XI. The X Factor had plenty of slow, brooding songs, this would have helped keep the energy up a little. Virtual XI was too short (for a late-90s Maiden album) and didn't have too many awesome songs on it. Both albums could have really benefited from a track like this, IMO.

  • Sweet, love hearing the rare stuff!

    UP THE IRONS,

    DOWN THE BEERS!

  • i dont really care wich ones better bruce, paul or blaze

    i mean its IRON MAIDEN

    ALL OF THEM SOUND AWSOME

  • i agree man but i dunno when i hear bruce hit those notes i get goose bumps an then jizz in my pants

  • hahahahah that's one way to put it i suppose

  • @apacolypseday your comment is an EPIC WIN!!!

  • GOOD ANSWER. UP THE IRONS

    

  • @apacolypseday

    I'm kind f the same - I love them all - and each has their own thing happening. People always bitch about Blaze, but one of my favorite Maiden songs of all time is "Sign Of The Cross". That song simply kicks ass - and I've been a Maiden fan since Killers was released. I saw them live with Quiet Riot opening for $8 around 1984, maybe 1983? One of the best shows ever.

  • @apacolypseday i agree but bruce is better IN MY opinion

  • @MetalSniper245 an thats your opinion

    i like pauls voice better and thats mine

  • @apacolypseday: my opinion is all 3 singers are bad asses... I love Killers, Purgatory, Woman in uniform, and many more with Paul... the same way I like Futureal, Man on the edge, THE CLANSMAN, Don't look to the eyes of stranger etc etc with Blaze and well we know the rest woth bruce... no matter who is in Maiden singing... one thing I'm sure is that they all know how to pick a great voice for their songs... they have proven that!! UP THE IRONS!!

  • can anyone show us the lyrics?

    Blaze is messiah

  • blaze bayley has clearly a better voice for something more thrashy than maiden, a great vocalist that just didn´t land on the right band, kind of like in soccer, some players that could have been the best end up being nobodies because of wrong choices in club transfers

  • his stage performance is worse then Bruce, but he can reach deeper tones.

  • couldn't have said it in a better way :D

  • @carlos17slb

    The problem is that Blaze is a Baritone. Unless Maiden was to tune down - anything that Bruce Dickinson or Paul Di'Anno sang were just a bit out of his range, and night after night of straining to reach those notes would keep him from fully recovering for weeks at a time. I've studied voice for quite a while, and what they really needed to do was give him 6 months with a top vocal instructor like Jaime Vendera (LaBrie) or Al Koehn (Midnight) to increase his range.

  • even though im not a huge fan of blaze bayley, i got to say this song is really really good. it shouldve been included on the x-factor album in my opinion lol

  • Damn! Why isnt this on a album? :( Well, it is a great "opening rocker" but The X-Factor is pretty dark album which doesnt open to the listener on the first time, its difficult and needs time. So Judgemend Day wouldnt have quite fit because there already is quite similar piece on the album, Man On The Edge and partly Lord Of The Flies...

    But I still think that this could've replaced for example The Judgement of Heaven.

  • It's dark but not difficult. I love it anyway.

  • His voice is superb here!

  • this has kind of the same style as Be quick or be dead.........that makes it rare in my openion

  • Good point.

  • how do u know it was rare? wat i mean by that is like how did you find this?

  • Its only on the man on the edge single.

  • and the best of the b'sides

  • @acadien And second disc - japanese "The X Factor" 2CDs set.

  • @acadien well done for mentioning the composers of the song

  • @acadien Actually it is also in the Eddie's Archive box set.

  • And why might a Hillsong United fan be interested in Maiden B-sides?

    You cannot be a practising Christian and possibly have liked "A Matter of Life and Death".

    I as an atheist can like Bach's sacred music, but I don't see how you can think blasphemy is sin AND just think that Dickinson's lyrics just attack organized religion.

    I am sorry to offend you if you are indeed autistic, as your channel page suggests

    Otherwise: Stay with your faggoty Blink182, thank you. :)

  • Up the irons!

  • the riff is kinda kewl...

  • ta bueno el tema!!!

    empieza una onda be quick or be dead

    aguante maiden

  • tell me why the fuck that song wasn't at the x factor? I think it's fuckin cool Just in Maiden style. even Blaze is kickin ass at this song. In my opinion this one should be on album instead songs like: Blood on world's hand, judgemant of heaven and some more. This really kicks ass. I was shocked when I heard it for the first time at the album called"best of b-sides" it's great song. Also the justice of peace is way better than some songs from x factor album.

  • It didnt make it on because if you read the B-sides manual, there wasnt enough room on the CD. lol but at least its on the b-sides

  • I agree. But Steve and Co. should put it on a x factor instead of some songs. But you're right that it's good that there is album called Best of B-sides with such songs

  • o they are not. Maybe Blood on world s hand is cool but not better.

  • The intro sounds a lot like Be quick or be dead!

  • The intro sounds a bit like the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.

  • Has a hint of "invaders" and " back in the village" to it, I could really see this fitting in great on the x factor, Blaze sound good and gritty on this one, really fired up.

  • This should have been on the album instead of 2A.M..

  • sounds like m,an on the edge

  • man I wish they kep Blaze and Dickinson!!

  • that would be impossible to have two singers in iron maiden

  • 3 guitarists. Why not 2 singers? Great for vocal harmonies.

    While they're at it, they can bring back Clive as well.hahaha

    Just for the hell of it they might as well bring paul.

  • hey i dont think 2 singers would be and clive cant come back becase he has ms and is in a wheelchair

  • Dickinson is the VOICE of Iron Maiden that everyone recognise. Di'Anno and Bayley are good singers but Bruce is the Master.

  • @rockaires Only because of Run to the Hills, that was there most commercialized song ever.

  • oh my god how could they leave this off the album but i still like the x factor but v 11 better

  • And to think this was cut from the album

  • If it Helps Sharu, i agree, blaze did a fine job with Maiden and his vocals suited the songs he did with the group, though i think personal preferance is the defining factor of who likes say blaze or bruce more

  • I bet ill get shot for this, But i think real maiden fans like blaze.

    We all know he isnt bruce, but the singer isnt 100% of the band.

  • no you wont,

    most actual maiden fans loved what blaze did for maiden and give his albums the respect they deserve,

  • You're absolutely right! Real Maiden fans liked Blaze and even with his solo band. Of course he isn't Bruce but no one is for that matter!!! Great Comment! Up the Irons!

  • Davey tears shit up in this song! Listen to his solos fckin great!!!

  • excelente musica aguante maiden

  • Cool song!

    Man On The Edge is the only ''fast rocker'' on The X Factor, but they should have chosen this instead. I think it's better.

  • are you kidding blaze made 4 incredible albums Silicon Messiah,Tenth Dimension Blood and Belief and The Man who would not die.He Released 2 Great Live albums and another one to come.

  • sounds a bit like "be quick or be dead"

  • this isnt that rare, its just one of three songs that didnt make the cut for x factor which can be found on Man on Edge single, judgment day, justice of the peace and i live my way i cant see why this didnt make the cut though it beats 2 AM and Look For the Truth.

  • I really like Look for the truth, but I have to agree with you!

    and blaze vocals on this song are so much alike withi wolfdbane days!!!

  • Maybe they did not include it because they already had a "Judgement" song on the record? I like it better than 2 AM, but Look for the Truth was a perfect song for the album.

  • I love this song, it gets constant airplay on my iPod. It has a very punk-ish feel to it and it is one of the best Maiden songs IMO.

  • hey what did happen to Blaze???

    i heard he committted suicide, he was murdered, and he's still alive.

    so what REALLY happened to the man???

  • This song is better than the most other songs from "The X-Factor". Sad, really sad.

  • yeah, maiden have had 10 different line ups

  • blaze aint as good as bruce. he just hasnt got the maiden voice.

  • They should have dropped The Angel and The Gambler and Don't look to the Eyes of a Stranger from Virtual XI and replaced them with this song, Justice of the Peace and I live My Way

  • dont look to the eyes of a stranger is awesome!

    i also like angel and the gambler but it could be shorter,

  • a música é legal, mas o blaze é uma droga!

  • dont get it why some songs get rare

  • This can be found on The best of the B'sides
