  • The worst album art in maiden history but a damn good album to listen to

  • Comment removed

  • This is my favourite Maiden record after Bruce & Adrian reunited with the band & this is my favourite song on this record. It's musical perfection.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a classic song like Fear of The Dark, The Number of The Beast or Killers.

  • The best Iron Maiden song off the best Iron Maiden album. Up the fucking irons!

  • @Jagerbawmb Well I love it but I think Paschendale is slightly better. I'd say their best album is Powerslave. But hell, it's all killer.

  • Lo castèth Occitan de Montsegur (the occitan's castel of Safemount) ei estat lo lòc de la darrèra batesta entre l'armada Franchimanda e la deus faidits catars. La presa d'aqueste castèth marca istoricament l'estacament definitiu de la màger part d'Occitania au reiaume de França. Officialy, a religion war, catolic army against catar heresy. Really, since the battle of "Montsegur", the assimilation of the Occitan people into the French kingdom. Freedom for Occitania ! Libertat entà Occitania !

  • @dompropaganda ok on s'est fait battre à plat de couture par ces connards de parigots ok les cathares s'en sont pris plein la gueule et je le regrette car je les aime bcp depuis les frissons ressentis la premiere fois que je suis allé me recueillir sur le site de montsegur, mais tu as un peu une guerre de retard si tu veux te libérer libere toi plutot de la mondialisation qui a intérêt à ce que les anciens états se démantèlent

  • @mardochee2009 ; je vois ce que tu veux dire, ta remarque est pertinente quand tu parles d'une "guerre de retard", il faut se battre aujourdhui contre l'assimilation à la sauce anglo-américaine (ou Sino-Japonaise) c'est la priorité. ça va être un peu court pour disserter sur le sujet... J'évoque juste l'éventualité d'un supra Etat Européen capable de se défendre, mais respectueux de ses ethnies, de ses langues, qui pourrait corriger les erreurs de l'Histoire (dont l'assimilation des Occitans).

  • @mardochee2009 ; si l'assimilation (à la Française autrefois, à l'Américaine aujourd'hui, à la Chinoise peut-être demain) n'est pas acceptable, la "Balkanisation" serait une erreur mortelle, ça jouerait le jeu des grandes puissances économiques mondiales. Dans l'absolu, il faudrait arriver à une Europe Fédérale unie économiquement, administrativement cohérente, c'est-à-dire aux frontières externes imperméables mais redécoupée en interne en fonction des langues Historiques de son territoire...

  • @mardochee2009 . Cette Europe cohérente mais fantasmée a peu de chance de voir le jour, car elle remet en cause à peu près toutes les frontières des Etats qui la composent, voire l'existence pure et simple de certains d'entre-eux (par exemple la Belgique, qui serait partagée entre les Pays-Bas -Flandres- et la France -Wallonie-) ; les micros-Etats anecdotiques n'auraient plus lieu d'être (Monaco, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein). Evidemment, aucun gouvernement ne la souhaite, par conservatisme.

  • i like this songs and the cathars who have died in Montségur but i can't understand the subversive side of this song. Ok it's against catholicism but iron maiden is a british group and England is mainly protestant ...

  • @mardochee2009 Catholicism is a VERY evil religion. It's been responsible for more death, blood, and evil than any other religion ever pretty much. Just look at their history.

  • @karlmoles65 pfffffffff ok and all the priests are pedophiles and catholicism is the whore of babylon lol i'm a french huguenot protestant with a cathar descent i know this kind of "creed" but capitalism, globalization, lake of values and morality are more evil than catholicism which is not one. you can't compare mother teresa or William of occam to bernardo guy or the borgias. Its the same for all religions...

  • @mardochee2009 Naw, most of the priests are probably really great men that try their best to help people, and I'm sure by far and away most individual Catholics are great folks. But as to whether it's a terribly evil religion overall. Well I suggest you consult the victims of the Inquisition, or the Aztec race, or your own Cathar ancestors.

  • @karlmoles65 the cathars have been killed by people from the northern france and a part of nothern europe, the aztec by the spanish conquistadors, the inquisition is the result of the mixt between church and individuals interests (cf the templars, the cathars, the valdesians...). Actually church in Europe had contributed to end the antic slavery during the first part of the middle age and to prevent the weakest from german violence by the knight values

  • @mardochee2009 The Aztecs were killed by CATHOLIC conquistadors, by direct order of the church. You kinda left that one out there. The Inquisition was innocent people being fiendishly tortured to death, by the church. Whatever good they're accomplished through the centuries is far outweighed by the countless evil they have caused. I'm am sure Catholicism horrifies God as much if not more than anything his children have ever done.

  • @karlmoles65 can you stop talking about religion

  • @maidensabbathtull Like days ago...can you?

  • @karlmoles65 Yeah, but Catholics are not the only Christians- Orthodox Christians haven't changed Jesus' philosophy.

  • @MaxPayneIzRudog This is true, they're not. What do you mean by Orthodox though. Like Greek or Russian Orthodox? Can't say as I am that familiar with those branches' histories.

  • @karlmoles65 Eastern Orthodox are the only type of Orthodox Christians. And by that I mean Russians, Serbs, Bulgarins, Greeks, Romanians, Ukrainians, Macedonians and others.

  • @MaxPayneIzRudog Ok, I'll take your word on it. I have no idea what "Orthodox" means in regards to Christianity except the fact that it's another branch. I know a lot more about Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, etc. You don't get many Orthodox types in the Midwest US.

  • Respond to this video... Also, we both might as well just zip it and enjoy the great music so UP THE IRONS! ]m/

  • Répondre à cette vidéo... for example the idea that the time around christmas must be peaceful had been demanded by (the catholic) church in order to prevent wars during the winter, the time when the peasants were the weakest.

    Moreover The cathars blamed the church because of their decadence and not for their intolerance their theology were very "puritan"(they wanted a strict reading of the new testament they wear black clothes and they considered that sex is evil)

  • @mardochee2009 Yeah, I was just using them as an example of Catholic barbarism and intolerance, not saying they were wonderfully pure or anything themselves.

  • @mardochee2009 I read a book on the Occitan War, and if memory serves me correctly, many of the battles were fought in the winter. On top of that, Montsegur fell at the beginning of March. They had been under siege for over a year. So what is this about no war in the winter? LOL

    And also, they didn't view sex as evil, they viewed physical creation as evil, or at least that's what the Inquisitors said who wrote it down. The Cathars wrote nothing that survives. And they wore blue.

  • @aWorldQuiteMad Why do you write about no war in the winter i don't deny it????!!!!

    According to catharism sex was evil as a matter of fact the souls are trapped in flesh because of procreation and procreation consist in sex. Those who received the "consolamentum" mustn't have sex!!!! Sex, beauty, money, food sometimes are traps (like consumption society which consist in sex beauty money ...cf Baudrillard)

  • @karlmoles65 you are very close-minded.

  • @maidensabbathtull No, you are very wrong. I am the most open minded person around. And you are what? Blinded by propaganda?

  • up the irons  France!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this song, Maiden realy came strong with this album this is one of my fave albums by them by far

  • Fav song on the album!

  • AMoLaD is my favourite album, even though I own and listen to all other Maiden albums. 

  • This is REAL music!

  • On Rata Blanca:

    "The band is heavily influenced by British hard rock bands like Rainbow, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, as well as by Yngwie Malmsteen."

    Wikipedia

  • Maiden preceded that group so I don't know where you get such a dumb idea as plagiarism. If anyone has plagiarized, it is your White Rat wannabe band.

  • plagiarism of La Leyenda Del Hada Y El Mago by Rata Blanca from 1990

  • @littIenini09 you know they take stuff and make it into songs right? that's what rime of the ancient mariner is. Doesn't mean it's not good.

  • i hate humans, they just bring suffer , pain and sadness

    i just hate us

  • I absolutely love the chorus of this song!

  • 10 peoples'blood on the stones citadelè!!!

  • up the irons from spain

  • Up the IRONS! :D

  • brutal

  • . . . that worldly urges are sinful, and that breaking the cycle of being reborn on Earth upon death is achieved by rebelling against human nature.

    The more you know!

  • There seems to be a lot of confusion about the lyric "The book of old testament crippled and black. Satan his weapon is lust. "

    So far as I can see it's a reference to the fact that the Cathars believed that the Old Testament was the writing of an equal and opposite entity to the Christian God, ergo, a surrogate for Satan in conventional Christianity.

    "Living this evil damnation of flesh, back to the torture of life. " refers to the Cathar doctrine that earth itself is Hell, that worldly . . .

  • The Final Frontier is perfection, I cant fault a song on the album it just takes a few listens because its so different to previous maiden.

    Truly awesome though

  • @Evosnake What about "The Isle of Avalon"? I found that track to be a little weak. What do you think?

  • 0:20 - ok... this song sounds pretty damn good

    0:40 - well, nice verse

    1:00 - holy shit! this is awesome!!!

    1:15 - WTF?! Is this a joke? D:

    1:28 - when is this shitty part gonna end?!?

    Yeah... awesome song, except for that one crippling part. UGH!

    That's my opinion. Live with it.

  • @Ianuarius85 ya well fuck your opinion

  • @Ianuarius85 lol you hate the best part XD

  • @Kyrzak12 Haa! Yeah... people like different things. :)

  • @Ianuarius85 Well your opionion sucks ass. And we can all live without it, Problem?

  • @Mynameispie66 No it doesn't.

  • @Ianuarius85 But that part is so upbeat and amazing! The riff is spectacular, how could ya hate it?

  • OH MY GOD!! THIS SONG IS EPIC!!!

  • Who cares about other people 'disliking' what you and I like? Are you really that insecure? Do you really believe it causes any damage?

    Or is it just an attempt to get thumbs up for your comment pointing it out? It's just as bad as the 'thumbs up if you agree' comments.

    Either way, you sound like whiny bitches for doing it. Every damn video, same thing.

  • @Billinois78 lollol

  • @XQuiiZiT "lollol" (laugh out loud like old lesbians?) xD

  • @Billinois78 And Ironically, this comment got 9 thumbs up haha. UP THE IRONS!

  • Lust or lost, I think both meanings are pretty cool.

  • It's "Satan, his weapon is LUST," not "lost" because that would refer to the Bible as being Satan's weapon. And the part about "The book of Old Testament, crippled and black" is referring to how Catholics prostitute the Bible for cash (indulgences, purgatory, tithing), and then pretend to be righteous, while killing those who disagree with them in medieval times and raping little boys in modern times. And in general, representing Christianity very poorly.

  • Fuck Naruto! This is about the crusades. Just because Naruto used this song in the intro because it is totally awesome does not link it to Naruto.

  • we have found 6 tone deaf persons in the world........

    great song UP THE IRONS

  • pls don´t even say this is from Naruto ¬¬ this is Iron Fucking Maiden!

  • "The book of Old Testament crippled and black, Satan, his weapon is lost."

    That is hands down my favorite single line from this entire album. And this album has Paschendale.

  • @cf1Funkmaster

    Satan his weapon is lust.

  • ♥ IRON MAIDEN ♥

  • essa musica e do naruto

    

  • @9489mateus tu tas a meter isso no naruto.....tens de tomar pastilhas.....

  • THE BEST HEAVY METAL BAND PERIOD

  • relax people, the dislikes are only referring to the album art :P JK

  • in my opinion dance of death as a cd has the same value with the cd's in 1982-1988 golden iron maiden age!

  • @MasterChico13 As does BNW, AMOLAD, and ESPECIALLY TFF \m/

  • Utter Brilliance!!! For the six Beiber fans, yeah, reality's a bitch. Sorry. Well, not really. WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SIX dislikes??!!

  • @TheGrownUpAdult THREE HUNDRED NINETY likes??!!

  • the first time i listened to this song...it just fucking blew me away

  • Underrated epic song.

  • I LOVE this song. I especially love the beginning of the song with the guitar!!! !!!UP THE IRONS!!!

  • Comment removed

  • a 'like' button just doesnt work for iron maiden. where is the ' I LOVE IT THIS KICKS ALL FUKING MAJOR ASS' button?

  • @Hallion91 This is fast becoming one of my favorite Maiden tracks ever!!!

  • this was 1 of 2 songs i liked off this album, but they really stepped it back up with "A Matter of Life and Deth"

  • @Vantenkiest there were alot of goods songs on this album such as dance of death, paschendale, Journeyman, wildest dreams

  • Kickass!!!!!!!!!

    

  • THIS IS THE HEAVIEST...

    UP THE IRONS FROM THE FINAL FRONTIER..!!!

  • The riffs sound pretty awesome in this song. Probably my fave on Dance of Death

  • The intro sounds like Losfer Words.

  • Yes, UP THE IRONS \m/

  • my friend wants a maiden album but i dont know which one to get him...dance of death or fear of the dark. Theyre both albums in my top five

  • @ceabrus Does he listen to Maiden or are you introducing him?

  • @mrbill191715 he knows the obvious ones like run to the hills and the trooper but thats about it. i think ima go with fear of the dark its more classic maiden

  • @ceabrus mehhh in terms of "classic" Maiden get him Powerslave or Number of the Beast. or you can get him the even earlier ones with paul Dianno. idk Fear of the Dark isn't the best representation of Maiden imo.

  • @mrbill191715 true but its more classic than dance of death. Besides,like i said he knows most of their earlier stuff...I think i should just burn both of them instead of buying one of the albums lol

  • @ceabrus get him him Somewhere in Time or Seventh Son they're both a lot better than Fear Of The Dark. Not too classic but Brave New World is amazing. but anyways right on haha. Up The Irons

  • @mrbill191715 Well... I begin listening Iron maiden with fear of the dark and I think it's not a bad beginning for a new maiden fan.

  • @IronEd636 Top this: my first Maiden album was "No Prayer for the Dying" and I loved the hell out of that thing. And right after that? "Matter of Life and Death." both of which I've heard are regarded as sort of "meh" Maiden albums by most fans. but IIIII LIIIIIKKKEEE THEMMMMM... (bangs head)

  • @ironmaidenalways have you listened to Final Frontier yet? that's probably the only Maiden album i'd consider 'meh'

  • @plejeune1 Yep, I actually thought Final Frontier was pretty good but it wasn't like... Maiden GREATNESS.

    Best song was "The Talisman"

  • @ironmaidenalways who regards AMoLaD as a "meh" album????? The only "meh" albums by Maiden were the ones released in the 90's, and even that can be debated

  • @89Wrathchild ohh, just magazines and generic reviews I've read/seen/heard on those albums. *I* haven't heard a single Maiden album that wasn't great, but other people disagree.

  • @ironmaidenalways granted, I didn't warm to No Prayer immediately, but once I gave it another chance, I found that it's a very strong album. "Public Enema Number One" "Hooks in You" and "The Assassin" are three VERY underrated tracks. Man, I wish Maiden would do a B-Sides tour!!!

  • @89Wrathchild haha my favorite (of that album) has to be "Mother Russia" though... it just gives me a lot of imagery, and not even from the lyrics, just the way the music is structured. I really like "Hooks In You" too!

  • @ironmaidenalways ach, how could I forget about that one! I also like "Holy Smoke" just because it's a more light hearted song. The video for it is hilarious.

  • @ironmaidenalways No Prayer For The Dying's my favourite Maiden album :D Tailgunner, Mother Russia, Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter, No Prayer For The Dying and Holy Smoke all on one album!

  • @MrShaggyJosh wow. Can't say it's my favorite, you top me. XP

  • @MrShaggyJosh All of Maiden's albums are my favorite, except for the ones with Blaze Bailey. For some reason, his vocals weren't Maiden.

  • @mrbill191715 Agreed, Get powerslave or number of the beast, Apart from the title track Fear of Dark was very disappointing, the songs are all over the shop and the album feels very disjointed.

  • @ceabrus Haha. Get him The Final Frontier. 

  • @DeffingLeppard agreed

  • This track totally reminds me of "Where Eagles Dare" from the "Piece of mind" album in 1983. Classic Iron Maiden!!!

  • If this came out in the 80s it would be a heavy metal classic!

  • Comment removed

  • This song is crazy awesome. It has the Piece of Mind experimental vibe that NOBODY else could even attempt without sounding like complete jackasses. Heavy metal opera at its finest!

  • This is vintage Maiden!!! It's like someone threw me back at 1984...

  • Hmm- some people been readin too much Bernard Cornwell (including me i suppose) :)

  • The 3 dislikes must be catholic priests

  • now this is real metal

  • This song is fucking brutal...These guys completely outclass bands half their age...Definitely one of the best songs they've put out in the 21st Century...UP THE MUTHA FUCKIN IRONS USA!!!

  • IRON METAL !

  • Oh...the Holy Grail is supposedly somewhere in Montsegur

  • Alright - There was a Religious group called the Cathars during the 13th Century. They were persecuted by the Catholic Church during the Crusades and fled to the very small Montsegur "Castle" in France. Even still, they were put under seige, many were executed. Of the 225 Cathars - monks as well as normal citizens - 205 agreed to die rather than recant. They were burned in mass executions at the stake. If there's anything wrong, please correct me.......UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheMetalguitarguy History FTW!

  • @TheMetalguitarguy I know I been thinking about the sad story of the Cathars all day. I can't believe it even happened, just shows you how evil religion can be.

  • @TheMetalguitarguy Actually, from what I've read none refused to recant, the number is an estimate only, historians aren't sure how many exactly died, but at least 200. We know some of the garrison actually converted and chose to die instead of going free. The Albigensian Crusade which was waged 1208-1229 failed to wipe the heretics out, so the Medieval Inquisition was founded in 1233. Turning neighbors on each other works well, just ask the Gestapo. Montsegur fell in Mar 1244

  • Epic Win

  • 3 unlikes!?!?!?!?! 

  • @megapurify Some people have no taste lol

  • @megapurify No..7.

    1 person will get stabbed.

    1 person will be hung.

    1 person will drown in piss.

    1 person will be chopped limb by limb.

    1 person will be cooked alive.

    1 person will be grinded.

    And the last person can suck my dick.

  • @raizr **ground

  • At the gates and the walls of Montségur. Blood on the stones of the citadel.

  • I want to know more about the actual Montsegur....I'm sure It'll make the song even better

  • MAIDEN FUCKING RULES

  • the intro sounds like losfer words but more distorted and heavier

  • history teachers should just let students listen to MAIDEN, then they would get it!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dudebeer36 lol yes :D i read somewhere in comments that Iron Maiden - alexander the great helped somebody out in history

  • @jaagup117

    ya dude, that was me, I did a book report in grade 10 on AtG and got one of my best marks ever. You pay attention to the comments, that gets you an A+.

    UP THE IRONS FROM SCHOOLS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

  • @dudebeer36 haha lol :P cool

  • UP THE MUSICAL IRONS FROM EPIC NORWAY, IRON MAIDEN OWNS AND IT OWNS AND IT OWNS, MONTSEGUR...:)

    Its the worlds best band !!!!!

  • @Supar96Kwon FUCKIN' A

  • 3:44 This is great!

  • What is it Montsequr? Is this a place?

  • @Seargeras It's a castle in France

  • @Seargeras Yep it's a castle in France. It was the last stronghold of the Cathars (a branch of christians) until they were massacred there by French knights by order of the Pope. Listen to the lyrics and it gives you a little taste of it, otherwise search either cathars or catharism on good old wikipedia ;)

    anyway beyond all that WHAT A FUCKING TUNE!!! :D

  • @ejr161 cathars werent a branch of christians,they were kind of dualistic,manichaeistic and gnostic sect

  • Dance of Death is the most underrated Album from Iron maiden! I love this album its one of the best album ive ever heard from iron maiden (best english i know)

  • Youtube Documentary - They Sold Their Souls For Rock And Roll

  • Most obvious self-plagiarism ever in the intro, lol.

    However this is for me the only strong point of this song.

  • so fresh so heavy!

  • i love this album but they totally ruined the art cover. why would they do that? it looks like a freaking Sims video game cover.

  • pretty heavy, gripping intro too.
