  • After the first time you heard this if you didnt go to the store and buy the most powerful headphones you could afford so you could turn your brain to jelly at max volume you don't know how to UP THE IRONS

  • Comment removed

  • looking at those old sailing ships, ancient mariners had balls of iron.

  • It's very very nice song :) i Ioved .... good song \m/

  • i think this is by far the best Iron Maiden song ever!!

  • now i'm wondering how justin bieber can exist when we have IRON MAIDEN

  • Bad audio. A lot of goofing around the set. Opera IX should take this off of the internet to save it's carrer. ~ Galaxy

  • Wheres the rest of the fucking song!?

  • @Shenanigasm this is the end of it. It did get cut off just a bit.. look for part 1.

  • simplemente la perfeccion en su maxima exprecion no hay nada mejor

  • what a fuckin solo

  • that isawsom

  • Dickinsons voivce is Maiden>The band ..well just listen to them fucking legends!!!

  • when I read coleridge's poem I immediately loved it, and when I heard this song, well, even better. it creates in front of you the ominous albatross and the phantom ship with the 2 demons .... that's amazing, this is one of the best songs ever, it can spread culture through people in such a wonderful way : )

  • Genial video(s)!

    Great and exciting history!

    And Amasing song!!

    I've heard the song many times, and the story still makes an impression on me! I almost feel like I'm in everything that happens there

  • i heard this in English class, and i just cant get enough!

  • This song really helped me understand this poem for my British Literature class! XD

    Thanks for the upload. ;)

  • Epic is the correct word to use !!

  • the amount of Epicness in these short 13 minutes matches the scale of a 2 hour Hollywood film. One can't praise this masterpiece enough with words only.

  • The ancient mariner drinks Coca Coleridge.

  • god iron maidens amazing

  • Funny that sammuel was actually a opium junkie when he wrote this.Wow.

  • Steve Harris is a fuckin genius 

  • I am speachless now as I was when I listened to them in the 80's....Really, what can you say??? Historical genious!!!

  • I am speachless now as I was when I listened to them in the 80's....Really, what can you say???

  • fucking EPIC!!! I saw them perform this in '86 in Vancouver. Did shitty acid, lost my friends, made my way to the front of the floor & they did this song. Turned my trip right around.

  • fucking EPIC!!!!

  • 6 people missed the like button...

  • @Bunters196 Go away. I don't care if people don't like the song.

  • @lyon1535 fuck you

  • If here is God ..I think Iron Maiden is right beside Him.

  • You are quite right Romantikiller2...We are in the presence of greatness...

  • In one of my British lit class the very first thing we are reading is "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Heavy metal should be connected to everyone of my classes for now on.

  • yer im gonna like this..

  • masterpiece

  • most epic song EVER!!!!!

  • The second part of this song is phenominal. Simply amazing.

  • @AutobotGirl6 I KNOW....I REMEMBER WHEN THIS CAME OUT I WAS SPEECHLESS

  • agree

  • Long live metal!

  • My favorite band, my favorite poem, could it get any better!?

  • hey sournuts1211 tell me why you had to be a powerslave you idiot

  • truely a masterpiece!!

  • greatest pics ever w rime

  • Very creative as to the scans of the old wood cuts being implemented to tell the story. Disregard these other user comments. Heck, one guy can't even spell!

  • 0:32 - 1:39 sounds like Number of the Beast or Believe in Myself.

  • lmao ur right

  • it sounds like the clairvoyand sourApplez1211 ( the intro i mean )

  • @SourApplez1211 or The Clairvoyant!

  • listening to this song alone in my room i throw up the rock on hands every ten seconds while headbanging. i used to listen to this while mowing the lawn.. id be in another fuckin world.. headbangin walkin around the front yard crooked...

  • @tattoofthesun hey i did the same thing while my english teacher let us listen to it me and two other people were rockin our heads like crazy it was funny as hell but i really understood the story after hearing the song

  • @BillyBob5673 yeahh hahaha. the poem is so much more awesome since maiden did an epic song on it.

  • Only a genius like Steve Harris could take one the most famous poems of Romantic and turn it into such an epic song. This is simply a masterpiece: the best metal band ever together with the lines of one of the best english poets. That's what I call greatness.

  • @ROMANTIKILLER2 What about for whom the bell tolls by mettalica?

  • @Vraya I love that song too.

  • @ROMANTIKILLER2 Couldnt have said it better myself.

  • Upz the IRONS !. HAIL FROM SINGAPORE!

  • hey..thank's for putting the lyrics of the song...i'dn love to isng as this guy...and i wish i cuold play as harris...at least i know the lyrics..hehe..thanks from mexico...

  • UP THE IRONS FROM FINLAND

  • just another post to thank you for making this video. you gave me a time machine trip to my golden years, and incidentally, Maiden (like Slayer) will Never Be Matched... PERIOD, (I invite intelligent people to prove me wrong - idiots need not apply)

  • bb3500... you are brain dead...

  • i think we need need to realise people like you need your toung riped out and your hands slashed off so you cant abuse the internet with the crap gonig on in the only thing that really is empty hear...your head.

  • in the words of dave msutain "bass is one step up from kazoo"XD the point of a song is to sound good have an inticate bass line which isnt really possibal so it dosnt make it a bad song jsut becouse you can play the bassline stevs basslines are what brings maiden to life i think..so sorry and thier are some maiden songs with meaning alot of thier more recent albums and songs like the age of inoccence.

  • 3.03 melts my brain.... its that good

  • one hundred comments!! is funny, I'm the 101, and epic is not enought for this song

  • nice nice

  • es como mas omenos uno se imagina la historia..

  • splendid

  • Bravo bravo, i could visualize everything ............thanks.

  • Man it sucks that it ends like that .. cutting off the last note. Such a great song. To listen through it all, with all the work you put in to the visuals .. just to have the last note cut off?

  • awesome song from a great poem.

    Up the IRONS!!

  • Epic stuff, no need for me to say more.

  • es muy wena!!!

  • 1:45 el virtuosismo máximo de Maiden hecho canción....que grande Maiden a proposito loco...es el heavy metal, iron maiden y muy de atrás los demás...

  • 1:39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I will never forget the first time I heard this song, especially the 0:30 to 1:30 part, my eyes went in tears.

    After that, I went insane \m/

    It was the 06 clock in the morning, I didn't want to wake up the neighbors... but I did !

  • this video is fantastic, did you find all the art on the internet or did you make some of it yourself?

  • I have seen Maiden 25 times up to now , and I hope to arrive to 50 (I know it will be very difficult), but the hope is the last to die......

  • When they played this at Twickenham stadium almost this time last year.. i think i could have jumped up and jizzed over everyone...the on stage explosions during the part where the drums come in at 1:56 just after oyu hear the wave crash was fucking immense..and during Adrian's solo..

  • lol, glad u didnt, enough salty seamen in the song

  • EPIC!

  • the whole thing's awesome but 8:40 is the best in the full song UP THE IRONS!

  • Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion

    As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean

    Water, water, everywhere and all the boards did shrink

    Water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink

  • Possibly the greatest band ever. Seriously, think about it. They best the Prog bands instrumentally, they're arguably the most influential metal band ever, and philosophically, their songs are on par with Rush's. Plus they have Steve Harris, who I believe is the greatest modern musician.

  • I found Maiden four years ago, this song is very familiar to me.

    I we're in their concert year ago, it was my best day ever. Of course they played this :)

  • Outstanding. Bravo brotha! Powerslave was their best content album. I Love this song and always get a chill when I relive the story with the old man.

  • i'm dutch and i can fly :) UP THE IRONS

  • Yeah me too ;)

  • this helps me a lot in studying the poem <3

    thanks a bunch <3

  • i loved it UP THE IRONS!!!!!!

  • This song shivers my timbers.

    Fuckin' epic!

    Sadly, I became a Maiden fan last year (wish it to be sooner). But I went to the concert in Costa Rica, and it was GREAT.

  • It's never late, mate. Welcome aboard!

  • PART TWO, WOOOOH! UP THE IRONS!

  • UP THE IRONS

  • Thank you for this submission. It works great on our Pirates of the Caribbean Online game site. Thank you making this video; it is a hit on our site!!!

  • Actually Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born in 1772, not in 1798. But he did write the poem in 1798.

  • Congrats on the video!

    The song is great, and you made a perfect selection of pictures!

  • EPIC ONE, BEST SONG AND TALE EVER!!!!

  • Ever been sailing with a real pirate? I have. They are nasty cursed beings who are fearless in the face of real danger. They are selfish because they eat all the meat out of the pot. I have not many good things I could say. The one good thing is they are self reliant and know how to think through a problem. Up the irons.

  • sensacional.

  • I used to paint Iron Maiden jackets in high school for cash (in the 80's) and now I am a professional artist/ painter in NYC. I still love maiden and I am forty. UP THE IRONS

  • guess age does not matter, there must be something in their music that makes u want more and more and it doesn't decline with the time...

  • this song pwns! im going to go and get on to my ipod right now

  • An orphan's curse would drag to hell

    A spirit from on high ;

    But oh ! more horrible than that

    Seven days, seven nights, I saw that curse,

    And yet I could not die.

  • 1 of my favorite Iron Maiden songs. I have a book of poems with this poem in it. It is worded in such a way, that over in the margin it is translated in what I call todays english. so it can be understood easier.

  • metallica es mie rda

  • holy shit this song gets better and better everytime i listen to it UP THE FUCKING IRONS screw the crappy fall out boy shit thats out today! Bring back maiden and all those bands
