  • ROCK OUT!! buffering ROCK OUUTT buffering

  • This song is so powerful it makes me cry. Up the Irons!

  • @almirmetallica Same here.

  • 6:04 when bruce and steve sing. I get tears in my eyes.

  • @skatallica76 i know what u mean

    UP THE IRONS

  • I fucking cried to this ... why don't history and english teachers use this kind of song for their lessons ?

  • @Briselance I'd venture to say it's not in the curriculum to teach the horrors of war. Songs like this evoke the pain, suffering, and most importantly, futility of war. Politicians cannot advance their cause with a citizenry who despises war and isn't fooled by fear-mongering.

  • IRON FUCKING MAIDEN GUYS!

  • Good guy Adrian- Makes a song, lets every guitarist have his solo.

  • 06:05 my favorite part!

  • Cruelty has a human heart,

    every man does play his part.

    Terror of the men we kill,

    the human heart is hungry still.

    MY FUCKING FAVORITE PART OF THE FUCKING AWESOME LYRICS<3

  • Music in its perfection from A to Z

  • As a Canadian, I have to say this is a beautiful song. A fitting tribute to those who gave their lives fighting that horrific battle in that ungodly war. Never have so many people given their lives for so little.

  • Bruce having a nice quick nap before his cup of tea. 08:22

  • Epic Tribute !

  • Easily one of the best maiden songs, and their live performance for this song just makes this even better.

  • only bruce can pull of the costumes. i mean this one, rime of the ancient mariner, powerslave, the trooper etc. he's just so cool. up the irons from canada \m/

  • The poem at the beginning of the song is called "Anthem For Doomed Youth" by Wilfred Owen who was a soldier in World War 1 who was killed just days before the war ended. I had to memorize the whole damn poem for an American Literature class in college. Another piece of trivia is that Bruce skips over a line between "Only the stuttering rifle's rapid rattle" and "No mockeries now for them, no prayers nor bells". I remember reading the poem in the class and wondering where I'd heard it before...

  • @hj7397 American Literature? Owen was English

  • @playingforbritain That's what i tried to tell the professor.

  • @hj7397 lol :)

  • Benditas sean las mujeres que dieron a luz a Steve Harris, a Bruce Dickinson,Adrian Smith,Dave Murray,Nicko Mc Brain y Janick Gers...ni se imaginan a cuanta gente han ayudado a sentirse vivos realmente con su musica y a creer que el mundo puede mejorar gracias por la musica sublime y grandiosa gracias a Iron Maiden por existir ustedes gustaran a millones de generaciones despues de nosotros quizas hasta los marcianos amen vuestra musica tanto como nosotros

  • si Beethoven Mozart Haydn Chopin o Grieg resucitaran de hecho serian metaleros y fans de Iron Maiden moririan por interpretar el Live After Death

  • 4 personas son sordas

  • Better Than Orchestra....melodious

  • great song on live

  • One of the best Maiden songs ever. Epic and beautiful.

  • Why is Iron Maiden the best band in the history of the universe? The answer is above this comment.

  • beautiful song. just as good as ''the trooper''...

  • Harris and Arian did verry good job on writing this...

  • Maiden is the best, all there is to it.

    

  • A fitting memorial to the Great War. So many dead for so little.

  • Maiden= Culture

  • 4 people should have died in Paschendale

  • great song great great

    Super pesničkaaaaaaaaa

    7:56 :D :D

    Iron  Maiden is Great

  • i like this version better than the studio version

  • Wish they played the nomad live :(

  • @xMomoStudios So do I, epic song

  • Dance of Death....Possibly their most underrated album. Definitely in my top 3. And I've been listening to Maiden since release mind you.

  • DAMN this song is waaay better live with the sound effects!

  • "it's crimson cloak unvails again" such imagery. this song is supurb on so many levels. Type this song into wiki and you'll see wat i'm talkin bout. For example, rhythmic tapping on the hi-hat, simulating the Morse Code used for communication at the time.

  • I don't understand how people think that thrashing a guitar, screaming into a microphone, getting pissed on stage and dying young is metal...

    Melodic

    Emotional

    Thrilling

    Adrenaline

    Lunacy

    Only maiden do it properly.

  • @edsterific hell yeah my friend!!!

  • @edsterific You are right. I realy agree with you.Maiden is the group wich i can listen from end to end.Such diverse in their albums like no other group. They are number one undoubtly. UP THE IRONS from BULGARIA.

  • @edsterific In my country there is this "Rock" Culture that only accepts hard rock shitty bands that barely play guitarr with 2 shitty riffs per song because that´s the "spirit of rock", and many good bands have been left behind by this sort of Culture.

  • ironmaiden is the best band in the world how could you say they suck

  • @galeb209 I dindt said so. Do you know how to read?

  • @edsterific YOu fucking loser!!!!

  • @chunkycustard121 Maybe, but I'm a loser that can correctly use caps lock.

  • @edsterific No MaYbes abOUT it. Please give us your breaKdown of the Word L. O. S.E. R......Only edsterriffic does it properly!. Oh you got me GOod wiTh that Caps LoCk call, pIty was Speed tyPing with the ShifT key. Only edsterrific does it properly!!

  • @chunkycustard121 After coming across you, I have decided that I am in favour of abortions in cases involving incest.

  • @edsterific Only eds mum does it properly!

  • @chunkycustard121 Judging by the phrase "what you don't know can't hurt you", you're practically indestructible. Now be a good girl, and run along.

  • @edsterific That's a quality insult, Sir.

  • @edsterific metal is something different to everyone....thats why they give it different names, thrash metal, cheese metal(aka epic metal, melodic metal, iron maiden), death metal, black metal, etc. But the similar, familiar strumming patterns, tones, notes, chords, and overall sound is why thrash metal, which you were refering to, is still classified as metal

  • and the anger that thrash metal brought to music is honest and real.......iron maiden themselves havent been saints their whole lives.....they have gotten wasted they have gotten pissed off on stage....ive seen bruce dickinson encourage the audience to rip a guys head off for throwing something at him.......heard stories of bruce and ozzy getting wasted and conspiring to steal a taxi.....they are just old now and dont do that shit anymore

  • @edsterific I wouldn't say only. But they may do it the best.

  • BLOOD IS FALLING LIKE THE RAIN!!! The best line in the song!

  • @Qwebeck666 TOOK US TIME TO GO OVER THE WALL, RAPID FIRE BE THE END OF US ALL!

  • best live ever

    I need to buy this album

  • I have to say, I only have the upmost respect for Iron Maiden. These guys are so inspirational to me. Half my room is JUST of their memrobillia XD

  • Paschendale is on my list of must be seen live.

  • It's awesome having three amazing guitarists.

  • Anyone who ever doubted Adrian was badly missed in his time away from Maiden....need only listen to this song to grasp how vital he is

  • steve is a great bass player, but sucks at singing :(

  • Nice one!!! WELL DONE!!!

  • Eeeeeeeeeepic

    

  • Adrian Smith & co rule

  • bruce seemed very tired, prolly for obvious reasons...i think alot of ppl would die trying to sing like bruce

  • The best sounding live band of all time!!!!

  • Good song, though not one of Maiden's best. But an excellent live performance, especially with the stage props and lighting.  Still rocking strong!

  • @jliller i actually think thats one of their masterpieces

  • @jliller See I would put it in their top 5 "classic songs" myself. Fantastic song and one of their best without question.

  • SIMPLY THE BEST..IRON MAIDEN

  • Tell the world of paschendale! Fuck yeah. MAIDEN 4ever!!!!

  • Pergh...

  • simplesmente epico

  • I love the energy Janick Gers gives to newer Maiden performances! he deserves more solo time though! up the Irons from Vancouver, B.C \m/

  • Long Live Adrian Smith!

  • 4 people died in paschendale :D

  • @hbkhani Bad analogy there, being that thousands did actually die in the battle the song is about....

  • @hbkhani sorry but i dont think is funny to laugh with that

    do you actualy know wath happens in paschendale? and im serieus

  • @hbkhani Now now, let's not joke about that xD

  • @Killz0mbies STFU it was funny bitch.

  • @Killz0mbies true, dnt know it just came out xD

  • @hbkhani Yeah I know that feeling xD

  • @hbkhani or they should off died there xD

  • @hbkhani Not cool man.

  • My question: If you "dislike" something as amazing as Iron Maiden... why watch a 10:40 video of one of their songs? Or even click on the link to this?

    Up the Irons from Ohio

  • @Starkiller93

    Hear, Hear! Good point, Ohio!  UP THE IRONS!!!

  • As a long time mega fan of Maiden I think this is a fantastic tribute to the Horrors of Paschendale...In which my grandfather fought and luckily survived this horror.... Up the Irons

  • Nice stage effects.

  • 4 ppl that don't know the tale of Paschendale!!

  • The sun lay behind us, ruin before

    An echo of hope can be heard as we roar

    The field will run red with our blood and their gore

    Such is the cost and glory of war.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!! My fav song.

  • *-*

  • I hav a thing for Adrian's songs

  • First song i ever herd from them

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAdrian !!!!! yeahhhhhhhhhh

    

  • freaking awesome song, freaking awesome band,.......and freaking awesome costume bruce!! XD!

  • UP THE IRONS

  • it s not a joke but it s a helmet from swiss army

  • @666NOMED666 does that mean it has a knife, scissors, corkscrew etc that pops out of it??

  • Bruce seems to be wearing the stahlhelm. Other than the fact that they look much cooler than the British 'tin hat's', I wonder why he chose to wear an enemy helmet despite the fact the song is written from an Allied soldier's point of view? I'm just nitpicking I suppose. If the stahlhelm wasn't an immediately recognizable symbol of nazism, I'd own one too; cause like I said, they are pretty cool looking...

  • @greatloss there were no nazis in WWI

  • @elfofwoods well, technically there probably were some Nazi party supporters, but you're right if you mean they didn't make up the majority of the German forces or that they didn't instigate the war :P

  • @kzaciswan No, elfofwoods is right. There weren't Nazis until after the economic collapse following the Treaty of Versailles, which ended WWI. Check your shit before you go posting it on youtube, dumbass :P

  • @elfofwoods

    they were only german soliders

    so that why there is that clothes

  • I THINK I HAVE CARPOOL TUNEL NOW FROM PLAYIN THIS ON GUITAR OUCH

  • 6:49 The guitar gods!!!!

  • bruce is always dressed for the ocassion!!!

  • I love Black Sabbath, I love Judas Priest, I love Megadeth, I love Metallica, I love Pantera, I love Deep Purple, and i love Slayer, but, just as Colombia being in South America is a fact, Iron Maiden, is THE greatest band in the world, and no one will ever match the amount of skill and intensity that this band has.

  • @vallecaucano114 very true my friend iron maiden even when they are 80 will be more extreme than any other band

    UP THE IRONS FROM AMERICA

  • Adoro, eu tenho esse DVD *-*

  • goosebumps every time I listen to this, and i've heard it maybe... 20 times?

  • "Maiden, when you're playing Dortmund, whatever you do, don't mention the war..."

  • went to their last tour just to hear this epic live and they didn't play at my show! youtube will just have to do until my time comes! up the irons!

  • at the end bruce forget the words xD

    the song is perfect...!!!!!!

  • adrian and dave and nicko as usual are awssome  nice sound

  • AWESOMNESS ON THE TOP !!

    

  • 3 People Died At Paschendale

  • I've heard people say that "he dresses up, this sucks", "the quality isn't as good as the studio" well i'll tell you this, its not just about the money to them, its more about going out there and having fun, who cares if it doesn't SOUND as good, they still go out there have fun, entertain us, and that's all that matters.

    

  • @scopedsongs It actually sounds better.

  • Comment removed

  • Poem is "anthem for doomed youth" by Wilfred Owen

  • jizzing in my pants :)

  • Does anyone knows lyrics at that poem at begining?

  • NO ONE can play a live show like Iron Maiden.....and when they pull out all the stops...like this...or Ancient Mariner...Seventh Son, Phantom of the Opera,Sign of the Cross, for example....it's just absolutely sick how great it is... P.T Barnum had nothing on these guys....for THEY...are "the greatest show on earth" hands down

  • \m/

    

  • What insane performance

  • I can't understand why all the people in the world not listen to Iron Maiden. Is the best band in the history everrrrrrrr!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!

  • The edge of music of all humanity !!! IRON MAIDEN

  • When people say that Maiden are Gods, they are not kidding. They make the best music and present it in a divine way. God is dead, Long live Iron Maiden!

  • Bruces costume = Awesome..

  • to me this is the greatest metal band...they have always been imaginative,diverse, heavy and yet still have stayed true to that which their fans appreciate about them.I have never loved or will never love another band as much as Maiden....UP THE IRONS

  • Infuckingcredible

  • bruce is by far the best metal vocalist ever. his voice live hits the notes as high as the studio version.

  • @MacDaddyPooty so rob halford, king diamond and dio don't count

  • @MacDaddyPooty And Michael Kiske ;)

  • @MacDaddyPooty 2 words for you John Arch.

  • @MacDaddyPooty When Bruce dit exist in ww1 - ww2 never did exist. I am sure Adolf did then stand at front of a concert of Iron Maiden and would know this is a battle he never would win.

  • This is freaking genius. The theatrics are amazing. These guy's are more of a set of traveling bards then a rock band. Any self respecting theater tech can appreciate this stage. (I would love to be part of the crew).

    My only complaint,a tiny one at that, is that Bruce sounds a little horse. He's probably been singing his lungs out all night though, so no worries. I'd have just loved to him sing this on full power. Oh well, about 0.1 or 0.2 points away from a full 10.

  • =0

  • why hasnt one of the bombs on the song hit the 3 fags who disliked this masterpiece??!!!!

  • this, is made of WIN

  • UP THE IRONS

  • 3 people suck at life.

  • I think his is their best live song. Up the irons from janick gers' home town of Hartlepool!!!

  • A hundred years ago, the major powers of Europe were building massive armies, between 1908-1913, in 1914 World War 1 began. Be glad you were born after that terrible time, because you get to listen to this amazing band! UP THE IRONS!

  • greatest intro guitar work ever! UP THE IRONS!

  • up the irons

  • pra mim a melhor musica do iron maiden

    muito loca!!!

  • LOL "rock n' roll hall of fame". Is it really?

  • What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, – The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;

    (WILFRED OWEN

    Anthem for Doomed Youth)

  • 3 people will be killed tonight!!! Very good show!

    UP THE IRONS!!..

  • brilliant show

  • Stevie looks fucking AWESOME!

  • EPIC.

  • Harris using a pick?

  • @calicheSCOT No, he has stated that he never uses a pick

  • @GeneralNfG 4:14 Looks like he's using a pick to me...

  • @calicheSCOT Nah, he strums the chords with his thumb.

  • @calicheSCOT no only fingers !!!

  • best live performance ever

  • My great grand da fought in Passchendale.

  • even Bruce said he got goosebumps when Adrian first played the riff for this tune for him

  • Well there is NO one able to tell something wrong about IRON MAIDEN! their songs are made for live shows.Let their music be an answer for those how boo them!Up The fuckin' IRONS! \m/

  • Steve Harris is made for live performances...

  • this song and video are awesome

  • This is easily their one of their best songs, one of the best since Hallowed Be Thy Name. I'm debating which one is better.

  • Maiden told us about the bloody battlefield of WWWI...
