Iron Maiden - Aces High (Live After Death)

[MikeyRamone00]

Whooo, I went to their Somewhere Back in Time tour back in 2008. I have my Aces High shirt too, and I'll be honest, other than their appearances, they haven't changed at all. Bruce still sounds fucking great.

[spacemetal1]

This is true metal, real metal.

[damthemachine]

2:15 I love that effect at the end of that part, he doesnt use it anymore but it sounds so epic here

[bertdog89]

30 Douchebags watched this video

[TheProudWhite]

Saw them several times in the 80's, and this (Powerslave tour) was by far the best. And you know what I paid for a ticket then? Oh, I think it was like $12.50. Saw literally 100's of concerts between 82 and 92 and rarely paid more than 20 bucks.

There would be a great opening band and the headliner would play for at least 2 hours. Now the opener is someone you never heard of, and the headliner might play for about an hour. All for the great price of $75. ((average price for a decent seat))

[TheProudWhite]

Also....rarely ever had to have a seat. Most concerts then were general admission. Also never had to worry about NOT getting a ticket because a corporation or something bought them all. there was no internet, no Ticketbastard, you went to the arena itself, your local Head Shop/Record store and bought them. Stood in line to get them. And tickets were made available to the local city BEFORE anywhere else. Also the local Rock station or Newspaper would ADVERTISE the show.

[TheProudWhite]

As a kid money was not always easy to come by, but you bought a ticket for $15 and a month later all you needed was another 20 and that would get you a few beers, something to eat and a tour shirt that actually listed all the cities from the tour on the back.

Shirts and general merchandise should not cost more than the damn show itself.

The shows in the 80's were more than just a band on stage playing their top 7-9 songs and a few lights. Guitar/drum solos! Yeah baby!

[MemoryOfTheRose]

best band in the world.

[145015ZTP]

He sounds really out of breath. Like on the studio version when he hits that high note, I think he tried to at 4:32 and couldn't hit it

[malicedixmois]

As a 21 year old guitarist, I have to say I think it's sad that most of the musicians my age that I know couldn't play this song if they had ten fingers on their fret hands. Pussies.

[StevenDSkelton]

@malicedixmois

Dude, I'm a 38 year old guitar player and don't have the chops to do these leads. No reason to be a dick about people not being as good as you.

[malicedixmois]

@StevenDSkelton

EH, wasn't really trying to make a statement about people's abilities, although I see now that's how it came out. I was trying to be a dick about the sad fact that most "musicians" in my age group only wanna tune to Drop B and play aweful Bring Me The Horizon style shit that just sounds like one long monotonous break down after another. Now that's worth being a dick about! :)

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

I was there in Long Beach Ca. for this tour"POWER SLAVE",Twisted Sister opened for them.

[IronMaidenSlave1978]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin That sounded like a totally kickass show.

[MrCurrySH]

just take a look at the first 5 seconds; you know youre huge if you have that many people just to see one band. its really amazing

[jwalshthegreat]

wow I'm 15 again,this rocked then and still does.

[89iron636]

@skatedouchefaggot shouldnt open his mouth what are you talking about cliff burton didnt play drums and clive did but yur a dumb fuck and yu shouldnt listen to maiden or matellica!

[357762556]

If MAIDEN would have been around during WW2 This would be the OFFCIAL R.A.F. SONG. GREAT SONG WITH MEANING. This would be so KICK ASS to listen to during ariel combat. GUNS BLAZING. YEAH

[lmlCOBHClml]

@357762556 if it was me in the plane id be headbanging(not to this one i have a cover that i like better but theses guys are geniuses) and probably hit something haha

[Kimbrandsen]

i remember this concert...they kicked ass!!! 85 damn im old...lol!!!

[Cyrtux]

Proud to say that I saw them in Toulon France 2003!!!!!

[borninthenight]

i went 2 san bernandino about 7 months ago 2 watch them

fuuuuuuuuck

it was great!!

the best concert i have ever seen!!

[AngusYoungGboy]

I am oh so jealous of everyone who has seen Maiden, at this concert ESPECIALLY. Easily one of the best live albums of all time, every song is a true Maiden classic! Wish they did The Prisoner though :(

[KingAlanI]

@AngusYoungGboy reminded of a guy who said he'll always remember being there one of the days Skynyrd recorded One More From The Road. Different music, but the analogy is clear in referencing another one of my live favorites. ;)

[KingFire2112]

@AngusYoungGboy I just saw them in Tampa,Florida about 3 or 4 months ago first time here since the Blaze years....I agree with the prisoner but I would rather see gangland or hallowed be thy name If you want to see them try to get some of the last America concert tickets of the Europe ones....

[muffinsNsausage]

Is that a red crash cymbal???

[Eirik36]

why don't they play the intro riff? have they ever played it live b4?

[DiegoHeredia321]

@Eirik36 They have never played the into before. It wouldn't be much of a great entrance if they did.

[lymbicnoodle]

i have my concert shirt from this tour

[TheZunigal]

My first concert!!!

[Metalfie66]

@xxDrummerxx141 No, only 2 of the 3. The point where they had three was in 1999

[Eirik36]

what is the better of the 2 live albums, live after death or flight 666?

[seth56guitar]

@Eirik36 depends flight 666 bruce has a wirerless mic so he can run around more and on that one they 3 guitarist so the can do more harmoneys, but on live after death they have the big ass mummy eddie and they play more of there older songs on that dvd, either way there both kick ass

[FromAshToDust]

iron maiden is better than slayer, and megadeth both combined, judas is pretty badass tho. fuck slayer, simply because their singer sucks ass.

[muffinsNsausage]

@FromAshToDust =O

[Lesrevesdhiver]

Soon as that music starts, this is one of their best songs, hell of an opening song here!

[SMJosee]

love that!

[BandNiceTry]

I love this band enough to admit that bruce has a retarded haircut in this vid

[batvette]

@BandNiceTry compared to a lot of bands back then I wouldn't say that.....

Look up the cover to Poison's first release "look what the cat dragged in". Or look at any pictures of Motley Crues early days.

I'm in san diego, one of my best friends moved north and ended up drumming for Bang Tango so I spent a lot of time in hollywood, the valley and LA in the day, the styles were pretty comical when you look back.

but I do miss the rocker slut chick look. what happened to the good old days?

[slipknotftw1000]

666 they are the true beast!! the scorpions dont have shit on this band !!

[slipknotftw1000]

666 they are the true beast!!

[inhuman96]

2:25-3:25 is so raw

[Anticrombie918]

haha, spandex lol.

and they would still kick your ass harder than anything 30 years later

[93metalfan]

WOW, they look totaly different today.Great song though.I saw them live summer of 2010 in chicago and they sound exacly the same.No improvising, exactly like the studio album.Very clean sound.

[sistermicrowave]

This is just SO FUNNY!

[BobertIsComing]

@sistermicrowave how?

[Charliedethklok7]

@sistermicrowave Like your mom wearing lingerie

[vitorxavier95]

loved this video. met the band a little while ago ...



[legendofsource]

I've seen maiden twice live. they suck live. there i said it. *ducks*

[MrX7order]

@TheWickerMan1000

are you sure you mean springsteen? river and stuff, huh :D

[bonfirejovi]

@legendofsource maiden are the best band i have seen live, if you want a shit live band then look no further than metallica

[skaterdouche4]

@bonfirejovi metallica wasnt always shit

[ralfisloved]

@skaterdouche4 The true, real, great Metallica died in 1986.

[skaterdouche4]

@ralfisloved what about justice? that album was pure thrash even thought cliff wasnt in it (R.I.P)

[catshumpcats3]

@skaterdouche4 Cliff isn't dead, he's battling cancer right now, Cliff was an AMAZING drummer, he's in wheelchair now,

[mashui99]

@catshumpcats3 Uuuh what? He died in the 80s from a car crash and he was a bassist not a drummer.

[catshumpcats3]

@mashui99 Omg i know sorry. RIP but i thought he said clive, i must have been really out of it lol sorry RIP cliff though he was a great bassit

[mashui99]

@catshumpcats3 Lol no problem. Everyone makes mistakes

[mrmonster125]

@skaterdouche4 metallica was never shit its just that they are old classic lol but they still fucking rock aa

[OverLordRiper]

@bonfirejovi I don't understand why little faggots always have to dis on Metallica on maiden videos.No one provoked you to dis on them.And if they suck live,look up Seatlle 1989 its fucking better than anything Maiden,Megadeth,Judas Priest and that piece of shit slayer ever did or could do.Btw i live for Iron Maiden so fuck you.

[Xnothinbetter2dewX]

i just sit here listening to this show and it astonishes me that this is just 5 albums into their career and this is a fucking epic show...i mean look at the great albums and songs after this: Somewhere in Time, SEVENTH SON, X Factor ( underrated album with great songs), BRAVE NEW WORLD, Dance of Death, A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, and The Final Frontier....my all time favorites BNW and AMOLAD... NO BAND HAS A DISCOGRAPHY AND HISTORY LIKE IRON MAIDEN...NO ONE!! THE BEST THIS WORLD WILL EVER SEE

[Metalfie66]

Thank God they didn't play this when Blaze was in the band.... no offense to Blaze

[Kid12Ghost]

3:06 So it looks like the singer (sorry, I dont know his name, im just getting into Iron Maiden) is going to do somthing awesome like a running backflip but the retards filming this cut it off, so we will never find out what happened, unless we were there to see it... or we invent a time machiene.

[Xeivous]

@Kid12Ghost I KNOW RIGHT

btw his name is dickinson... Bruce dickinson (im not bein a dick or anything)

[PiZzanumberMaN]

GREATEST BAND EVER THUMPS UP

[licksers]

Bruce and the whole band delivers MUCH better nowadays. Thats amazing!

[richythepianoman]

This is what I admire about maiden. Starts of with a Churchill speach, followed by a song which is so fucking deep lyrical wise. Tells a true story of war. Guitars / bass/ drums excellent. Up the fucking maidens.

[caverna2k]

Very ,very classic. A masterpeice.

[McThotho]

@caverna2k Its not that classic..Ever heard a symphony of Ludwig Van Beethoven Or Mozart?? Its no classic compared to their symphony's..but its hell ya master piece xD...

[10078g]

the first chorus bruces voice is straining like hell but its sounds much better on teh seceond chorus also wen he starts to sing higher and faster notes like when he sings

"jump in the cockpit and start up the engine" at about 1:28 his voice fails him there

but good show they are the best live band ever

[GrilloJ123]

30 years later, these guys still kick ass. Saw them 2 years ago live...amazing. 

[TheMrDiegoso]

maiden... some of the bests bands that the earth give to the people..

the bests bands are..

Iron Maiden

Tool

Metallica

Dream Theater

Symphony X

Soad

those are rock!!!!!!!

the best rock in the earth.....

[dreamerphamtom1]

fiorearmwrestler go ahead and suck justin biebers dick you ass hole

[fiorearmwrestler]

the worst performance ever done

[dante12186]

I gotta say you suck. I don't think I'd take musical advice from an idiot like yourself . I bet your a green day fan. Iron maiden will forever be one of the GREATEST metal bands of all time. They inspired SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, Metallica, ARCH ENEMY, and so many other of the GREATEST bands off all time. To shake their hands would be an honor !!! UP THE IRONS !!! EDDIE LIVES !!! So go enjoy your lady gaga cd and be sure to tweet about how noone gives a fuck what you think.

[fiorearmwrestler]

no I am a singer an i like metal music. i am a sonata arctica's fan and i like very much also iron maiden, skid row, aerosmith. these are my favorites band. in this video bruce sucks and stop. You are only a fanatic and you cannot see and listen the difference. i did not say that iron maiden suck but that in this video bruce sings very bad. you are an idiot.

[lonewolfshogun]

@fiorearmwrestler yeah, when the song goes up a 4th higher his voice goes very flat

[10078g]

@fiorearmwrestler dude its a hard song to sing listen to the studio version its fucking hard to sing

search youtube for

iron maiden aces high live at chicago 1984 he sings it very good there

its bad quality tho

[w1o5w6]

anthrax motorhead and misfits are my favorites but you can't do anything else than aknowledge their contribution in music,and this track,this album might be the best in the history of metal music and not only a fucking masterpiece.

[13Clone13]

I saw Maiden on the Powerslave tour in 84, my very first concert EVER, Twisted Sister opened for them, Maiden is etched into my brain from that night.

[7xXx666xXx7]

"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

[jsreding]

I love watching a video of 80's Maiden and then one of Maiden today...such a change from long hair and spandex to leather jackets and jeans haha. Especially for Bruce

[BxT4POUTxP]

Yeah this is a really hard song to sing. Especially the verse

[TheDeepAndDark]

2:50 haha the singer!Tarzan is back!....

[QuanYin71]

@mattgsperm Yes it would be too big, i think the limit is around 10mb

[trvemetalhead666]

slipknot r much better they sing about history lol who wants to hear that and theyrs no screaming wtf?

[alexbelwwe]

@trvemetalhead666 Well that's just your opinion, but Iron Maiden is real classic stuff. and most things older are better, and learn how to spell you dumb fuck. Atleast I put an effort into this and theirs a pretty big chance I'm younger than you.

[Xerox20077]

@alexbelwwe there's not theirs

[saints39]

@trvemetalhead666 slipknot has how many awards? how many number 1 hits? how popular are they? oh yeah...little to none..slipknot is nothing near the talent that iron maiden has and they never will... You are not a metalhead if you dont respect Iron Maiden.... your a disgrace to metal.. UP THE IRONS!!

[MrCreepingdeath666]

@saints39 That's the truth, if you don't like Iron Maiden, you're not a Metal fan

[Phil21915]

@lrsc9420 1984-85

[AngusYoungGboy]

@mattgsperm Wouldn't the file be too big to send via e-mail?

[bengativo6]

@AngusYoungGboy lol people dont wantto buy stuff anymore i mean its like around 30 bucks for the dvd? than almost downlading it for 3 weeks?some people are kind of lazy and a little dumb.

[TommyViolet]

@bengativo6 30 bucks for the dvd? are you sure about that?

I live in the UK and I got the DVD a week after it came out. it cost me £12.

If you're being asked to pay that much for it then you're being ripped off.

Call me an arsehole but I know for a fact that whatever way you look at it, $30 is the equivelent to £19 sterling, I paid £12 for my DVD...you are being ripped off.

[bengativo6]

@TommyViolet i was just saying an estimate ,i have no clue how much it could be ,sorry dont want to offend your feelings but you are tripping,well maybe you are good in mathematics,up the irons from america where everything is expensive

[terrorofdeath93]

@bengativo6 That's true.

[clayzee001]

@TommyViolet wouldnt £12 be about $18?
