  • you ever wanna see why bruce is better than blaze? watch this shit

    

  • I see another good 10 years for them where they won't loose it....

  • @timosha21 Hell they're as good as they ever were. A Matter Of Life And Death, Dance Of Death, and The Final Frontier are all fuckin classic.

  • This is just phenomenal - an incredible song by the undisputed best metal band on the planet,

    Recently saw Iron Maiden for the first time and have to say they're the best band I've ever seen live in over 25 years of gigs. Bruce is just unbeatable as a metal frontman. I think Blaze sings his own songs brilliantly for Maiden too , would have loved to see him in the band. Thanks to both Blaze, Bruce and all the band for this epic song

  • very underestimated song!!!!

  • La mejor banda de Heavy Metal que este Planeta ha Dado Viva MEXICO-!!!

  • I have nothing on Blaze but If X Factor and Virtual XI had recorded with bruce those would be the next SSoaSS and SiT because both have amazing songs in them.

  • Man this is a fantastic version of an already fantastic song!!!

  • blaze is the best!

  • I don't give a fuck what anyone says, Blaze was crap with maiden, why did they ever give the job???....great singer with wolfsbane but come on he was never gonna fit in with maiden.....go on experts i know you are gonna give me dogs abuse but the truth is he nearly ruined them. And before you all go off on one i have listened to maiden since 1980 so i think i know what i'm on about.

  • @TheDonrogers I second that. UP THE IRONS!!!

  • soooo much better than the original!

  • Hua whooome...

  • You are great *-*

  • ''Something within us,WE ARE lord of the flies'' Bruce fucked up the chorus,and they showed people chanting to the second part to cover it up loll.I'm just nitpicking here.Up the Irons.

  • I still think most of the Blaze era haters is because they can't handle it's not Bruce singing. o.e

  • @Rune1h thats exactly it i love bruce i love paul and i love blaze they are all great paul was the reason why the band got to fame but paul couldnt carry the flag so bruce steps and leads them to huge international stardom and blaze added some musch needed darkness dont get me wrong i love blaze but i was glad when bruce and adrian returned and now we have the band we have now i dont see an end for them they keep giving it there all

  • The superiority of Dickinson appears at 4:21 seconds. He sings in octaves the refrain

  • 6 People don't think they're listening to Iron Maiden.

  • Both 'The X Factor' and 'Virtual XI' are great albums.

    Blaze is a great singer!

    Bruce is simply a God!

  • Comment removed

  • Freakin Janick , makes me laugh everytime. Such awesome stage pressence

  • I'd love to hear Bruce harmonize with Blaze on this one. Would be epic.

  • I think the whole X-Factor album was written in consideration to Blaze's vocal range. He's baritone, but the the problem I notice that there were times in the album he was a little off-key. It became more evident on Virtual XI. If there was a good replacement during Bruce's absence, I would have gone for Ronny Munroe or Morgan Thorn

  • This the only Iron Maiden song sung by Blaze that I like. But, Bruce makes it sound much better. He's not struggling with his voice, like Blaze does. There's no comparison between them. Bruce is far better. Period. But, hats off, for Blaze's effort and for keeping Iron Maiden's heart pumping until the Air Raid Siren's return.

  • Bruce can fart a song better than Blaze can sing it lol

  • the intro sounds so hard rockish...i love it!

  • Im pretty sure that if Bruce sang all of these songs, this album would be right up there with The Number of The Beast, Fear of the Dark etc. But nobody really cared to listen to maiden when bruce left, but still I give Maiden props for going on

  • This song rocks on so many fcking levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love you boys <3

  • I prefer this music w/ Blaze

  • 1. Bruce 2. Di'Anno 3.Blaze

  • In my own opinion, X Factor was better than No Prayer For the Dying and Fear of the Dark. The only reason why it did not become a classic is because it wasn't Bruce singing.

  • @Lordoftheflies234 I agree,though I personally think X-Factor and Virtual XI are classics in their own rights,they are not recognised as such by most Maiden fans.

  • Lol Worst editing Ever! :D! Still Epic!

  • bruce please do more X-Factor Album songs live.

  • Bruce>Di'anno>Blaze (In my opinion)

  • i think even at his current age bruce could go on american idol and totally school some noobs on singing

  • Presonally I think that bruce sings this better than blaze, it does not mean that blaze is bad, he isn't just for Iron Maiden. Bruce godlike, maiden the best band of all time! And... Bruces son - he is just pure awesomeness!

  • oooo000oooooooooo0000000000o00­0000000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Just two words: Holy shit!

    

  • Bruce got a good voice in the lower register too, love the refrain of this version

  • oh my head... Too much scene changes x.x

  • bruce does it better in the chorus because its high and fits to his voice.. the rest song blaze does it better..

  • Great song!

  • probably the only song Blaze does better

  • Jesus, why every single video that Bruce sings a Blaze song I find the same comment:

    Blaze is good, but Bruce IS A GOD, OMG, THE BEST SINGER EVER OMFG HE'S A GENIUS, THE HEART AND SOUL OF MAIDEN. I bet this assholes never heard The Man Who Would Not Die

  • @jugulatorable Yeah!! Blaze is the man! And IMHO Bruce ruined the concept of this song that it's meant to be dark and doesn't fit his high pitched voice!!!! Blaze's baritone voice is just perfect for this!

  • @rideon77 it souns great with dickinson too... ok ok its ment to be dark but dude the voice of this guy is just amazing

  • @rideon77 jugulatorable talked about Bruce... -.-

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song, and the solo, janick's jump is epic

    they should play more songs from the x-factor. the albums is plenty of good songs and they'll sound awesome with bruce

  • jesus janick...wtf is so hard about that riff? lol

  • I HATE BLAZE.

  • @hitsugaya666T

    thanks dude for this useless comment.

    fuck you

  • Iron Maiden

  • blaze was definitely a good singer, out of 100 singers they chose him. Love the sound of his voice, but his stage presence just wasn't right. When things are right they click, and it didn't click when he came in for Bruce. He made some great albums with them though, and what he brought was fresh. His greatest contribution was possibly the fact that he took the band in the direction of writing for brave new world, dance of death, etc, into where they are now and for that I thank him.

  • Bruces voice works perfectly in this song.

  • x factor is a great album, blaze is a great singer, this is a fuckin´ awesome song and i think lord of the flies with bruce vocals is from another universe. Blaze, Paul and Bruce are all good singers, but in concerts Bruce is GOD. Bruce present voice can´t be truth, genius. HALFORD, DICKINSON, DIO, MERCURY, PLANt, are all GODS. UP THE IRONS FROM ARGENTINA! sorry for my poor english

  • i want to sing along, but i end up screaming wen my voice goes tht high \m/

  • Blaze's version was good, but this version kicks ass!!! (especially after you hear 2:26-2:47!!!)

  • they tuned it higher for Bruce to sing.

  • Blaze was cool, but i would describe the singers as:

    Bruce Dickinson = Metal

    Paul Dianno = Punk

    Blaze Bayley = Rock

    Its bruce who fits in maiden xD

  • I've got this album and it rocks

  • iron maiden is the only band i know where all members are considered gods by their fans. but they are gods no doubt it... flawless... beautiful

  • @timosha21 lets not forget led zeppelin, rush, the who, black sabbath, where all members were extremely fine musicians as well. Iron Maiden is my favorite band though, so I agree that have they not be considered gods, they would still be gods to me.

  • @timosha21 I absolutely hate when people call their favorites bands "Gods". It's the most retarded thing ever. They are great musicians. But even Maiden has their "hits and misses".

  • @sinbysin666 blasphemer!

    

  • this song is waaaaaaaayyyy better than the studio version

  • Reading the lyrics ,im guessing Harris was talking about Jack, the "tribal" leader who resorted to hunting for food and survival rather than making a diplomatic community like Ralph and Piggy tried.

    Great themed song though and bit coincidental that Jack was the British accented kid in the book.

  • @undertaker3134 I'm pretty sure all the kids in Lord of the Flies were British.

  • bruce on last chorus WIN blaze for 100 x0 .. this is the diference either the two vocalists!!

  • Bruce doing last chorus up an octave is pretty intense

  • what the fuck is dave murray doing at 3:23? It sounds awesome!

  • @Megamaniac610 janick gers....not dave

  • @Megamaniac610 It's Janick actually, and I agree. He hammer-on and pull-offs between two notes fast, while he's sliding his finger down that string in direction of the headstock and thus hitting overtones while his finger passes over certain places on the string. Hope I explained so you understand.

  • @TheGuitardedOne1338 oh shit you're right. Duh. And thanks.

  • @Megamaniac610 dave is the blonde one on your left there. He's on all 15 of their albums. Jannick's been on the last 8, so don't feel bad you don't know him. My own dad didn't know him when we saw them live

  • Lord of the flies sung by blaze is completely another song!

  • Blaze was a really bad replacement for bruce!!!! This version sounds heavier and bruce's vocals fits perfectly!!!! The x factor and virtual xI surely would have been better with bruce!!!!

  • 2:44 Bruces perfection.

  • I actually like Blaze's version of this song better... I don't really think this fits Bruce's vocal style.

  • blaze is king.

    bruce is god

  • @14BlazingBlue I agree, these albums with blaze were perfect but it´s weird without Bruce on vocals. agree?

  • Blaze can dream about hit that notes 4:18 ..

  • IMO, Blaze sings better the song

  • The X Factor is the best album of the 90s! I rank it as the 7th best album in total

  • Salute to the maidens for Denmark ! CAUSE THEY ARE LORDS OF THE FLIES !

  • great performance, Maiden has been blessed with kick ass singers( and bruce is best ever), and the band has always been #1 in my eyes.

  • Blaze was an amazing singer, but Bruce = GOD...Best band in the world of any genre! UP THE IRONS!

  • Metallica = bullshit!

    Iron Maiden - Forever!

    ...and thank you,Blaze.

  • ....and fuck off, Blaze! 

  • Live at Lucifer's Son  \m/

  • X factor... my favourite maiden album

  • Wow, a song where Janick shows restraint in his solo!

  • This song sounds a lot better with Bruce singing it. And I actually like The X Factor album.

  • Bruce showed how to make a good song to be a Fucking MASTERPIECE!

  • da gosto de ver um vocalista com potencia vocal cantando... muito melhor que a versão original do vocalista que cantava com uma "batata quente" na boca.

  • fuck....i have orgasm´s with the chourus

  • better than original

  • X Factor has a lot of good songs, unfortunely I don't think Iron Maiden will ever play any of them live any time in the future :(

  • @henriqueregatieri its too bad, id love to hear man on the edge or futureal live

  • @maidenfucknrulz666 maybe these 2 aren't sooo improbable, since they had already played them with Bruce before, but some others such as When 2 Worlds Collide, The Aftermath, I don't know... but I'm a little bit hopeful now, seeing them playing all those new songs on the last tour =)

  • @henriqueregatieri yeah i suppose those two are the most probable for them to still play. id love to hear lightning strikes twice or como estais amigos too tho. i know theyll never play como estais amigos though, but it has always been one of my favorites! i cant wait to see them again in less than a month! i was lucky enough to see the matter of life and death tour in 05 and then somewhere back in time in 08!

  • I love Bruce singing the chorus, but Blaze did the rest better.

  • And the lyrics are excellent

    Specially the second part is singed nicely by bruce

  • The first riff is strange

  • I have to admit that hearing bruce here sounds incredible! He can sing blaze's songs so well! Blaze was an awesome singer an he did some great songs but bruce's songs didn't sound too good with him, but bruce it's just something else everything sounds so good!

  • bruce nailed tis one! i totally forgot blaze here =/

  • i have heard many metal bands, but there is only one true band out there - IRON MAIDEN... the way they make you feel is incredible...UP THE IRONS 4 EVER!!

  • When will they finally be get an Grammy Award ?

  • @ulizinho Grammy's are award by people who are tools and give to tools. You do not need a Grammy to prove that you are and excellent artist.

  • Up the Irons /m/

  • Speechless... Best band ever

  • the cool thing about X Factor is that it actually sounds better live :D

  • I dont care what anyone says ..X factor was an awesome album ..

  • You got that right!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @cjf799 care if i say its f*cking awesome ?! :D

  • @cjf799 Yeah it was a hell of an album. Virtual X also had its moments. I personally love Bruce, but thoroughly enjoyed the Blaze years. The fact that he made no attempt to sound like Bruce and did his thing made it all the better.

  • Essa eu vi ao vivo!!! De novo!

    O Blaze não é ruim, mas ele fica pequenininho perto do Bruce Dickinson.

    Up the Irons!!!

  • i prefer the bruce singing this so fuckin song!!!!!!!!!maiden!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think the fact that bruce can do this so well is a testament for the fact that Blaze was the only real choice for replacement... though bruce is best ;)

  • first true metal i ever heard

  • Great song !! Great interpretetion but don't compare Bruce with Blaze. It doesn't matter, the world is beautiful because is different

  • I love hearing the bass drum god Nicko owns .

  • omg bruce kicks ass, they are like the only band that gets me feelin fuckin awesome everytime i listen to them!!! Up the Irons from daytona beach florida!!!

  • I almost cried when they started to play it on Dance of Death premier in Hungary...one of my favourites:)

    I think it's the only Bayley-song which fits amazingly well for Bruce.

  • this... clansman and sign of the cross

  • Bruce is sooo much better than blaze was! "the air raid siren" will live forever in vocal history!

  • Hod I love this song! A lot of people think Bruce doesn't sing, that he just shouts the lyrics. They can shove it right up theirs in my opinion. Bruce is an amazing singer period.

  • blaze is a good singer but bruce is so much better especialy at lives

  • yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh porra

  • bruce pwns blaze on all songs, including this \m/

  • come on!! listen it!! bruce do it 1000 times better!!

  • Give Blaze credit he had to fill a Legends shoes and stepped up

  • Does anyone else think that death on the road was defeated by Rock In Rio as a live album? - Don't ask me why, I would never EVER say that Death On The Road was a bad album, it's just... lol. I suppose in my head R.I.R's always been my favorite live album ever. - Top that in other words.

  • Adrian is my idol!!! kickass song Up the Irons!.... Maiden really needs to come to Minnesota soon though

  • I agree blaze is better at this song

  • Bruce the best... I went to the show this tour in Brazil, São Paulo, fantastic

  • X Factor was a good album ... Fuck the haters ..

  • good, to say the least

  • I agree, it was a good album

  • Was not shitty , One of the best melodic albums ever

  • @cjf799 Problem was Blaze not X - Factor

  • @cjf799 THANK YOU!!! People are always "Idk, I don't think it's a good album" I'm like "STFU!!!" lolol

  • Comment removed

  • @cjf799 i believe the same!

  • @cjf799 The album itself was wonderful the songs on it were great.. But I must admit I didn't like Blaze singing them.

  • my opinion... blaze wasnt for iron maiden. he's a good singer and all but just not for iron maiden.

  • I agree! Very very few singers -if any- can fill Bruce's shoes. Blaze Bayley (to be honest) made the good old irons sound like a coverband, my opinion.

  • @siimpatiko

    nah he add great tunes and great choice for maiden.

  • @siimpatiko But this song is for Blaze. It doesn't sound that good on Bruce

  • @siimpatiko i think the same! still x factor wasnt a bad cd

  • They should play more X-Factor songs live. There are many awesome songs including this...

  • 3:12 Super Janick!

  • Up the Irons!!!

  • BRUCE VOCALS YEAAAAAAAAAH!!!

  • Bruce's got almighty vocals in this one... holy cow.

  • i dont know the x factor album but its a great song. whitout blaze there was no maiden . i like bruce voice more than blaze voice . that fat en the big nose german guys goin grazy in the clip

  • Saint and sinners something within us!!! TO BE LORD OF THE FLYYYYYYYYYY!!! fuckin awsome!!!!

  • bruce is just a pure surge of energy... fuck... i think its him that makes the fucking world keep spinning on its axis

    blaze is fucking awesome, but his voice was more for studio versions.

  • demais com o bruce cantando!!!

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    OOOOOOHHHH MYYYY GOOODDD!!!! BRUCES VOICE IN THIS SONG!!!!! i always loved this song,but now,its one of my favorites by maiden!!!! WHOAOAOAOAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • I for sure respect blaze, but man did bruce ever rip this song, FUCK YES. . .UP THE IRONS FROM CANADA !
