Iron Maiden - Man On The Edge (live 1999 with Dickinson)

[2112Metal]

so glad bruce dickinson is in the band again blaze bayley sucks and he didn't belong in the band at all

[MrClayton333]

@2112Metal dont say Blaze sucked. He's no Bruce, but he was good. If it werent for him stepping in then iron maiden wouldnt be around anymore and everyone would be bitching about how Bruce ruined it. Di'anno, Blaze, and Dickenson are all amazing. Its just that Bruce is the best for Maiden, Up The Fucking Irons

[mephistoqx]

@MrClayton333 I don't think so, Iron Maiden kept existing because Bruce couldnt fuck up no rights, and he left in good terms, Iron Maiden was and is what it is because of Steve Harris, one way or the other this awesome bassist would've made Iron Maiden raise again, as he did with Blaze, and probably he was a possitive reason of Dickinson coming back.

[fireflyfan1]

This song has never sounded better.

[henkn2]

By the way: thanks for the upload :-)

[henkn2]

Why do so many comments seem to be from little children ? Arguing about who is the biggest fan and who is a better singer in what song and why and who thinks what album is best and why seems pointless to me. Just enjoy the music. It's good enough, right ?

[fearedlegend]

bruce aces this.fucking epic!can bruce do anything wrong???

[Vortigan07]

Who says Bruce can't sing this?!!!! Never heard such crap!

[ocarinapownz]

blaze better in this song!

[1979alien]

when i first heard the original recording of this i thought it was the same guy who did all the famous iron maiden songs (don't give me loads of shit for this comment it was many years ago and the only iron maiden album i had ever listened to at the time was best of the beast, i'm a huge fan now i've got all the studio albums now)

[christ2171]

hay disque un no me gusta ese debe de ser de blaze baylys

[scrauteam]

blaze rocks, really - i love his tracks, they're part of the history .. but bruce is the one and only voice of maiden!

[DavidDavidsonful]

The Alive in Poland performance by Blaze is much better, and i think that overall, Blaze is a better vocalist than Bruce.

[mamrd9999]

@DavidDavidsonful my opinion

1. Di Anno, Dickinson, Blaze

All singers in Iron Maiden are great!!!

[TrueIronMaidenFan]

@mamrd9999 Bruce is obvioulsy a 1000 times more talented then both, its very apparent in almost any song! he can do things with his voice that Blaze and paul couldent even dream about doing

[Lambontroff]

@mamrd9999 maiden is always great, you are right but with bruce maiden is a legend

[D6H6G6]

@mamrd9999 No!... Alexander is GREAT! Jajajaja!

[wolfhound1589]

This song always makes me wanna watch Falling Down

[GunnySGT1911]

I heard a version of Educated Fool with Dickinson. Does anyone know where I can find it?

[tommyx3m]

Bruce is icon of the Maiden, but Blayze is very, very, very good singer too!!

[Rattlehead115]

This is what I think - The chorus is better sang by Blaze (falling down...) but the verse is better sang by Bruce. Either way, undeniably great song.

[punkygirlfriend]

i totally love bruce's voice, but i love blaze's in this song :D maiden is awsome either way :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Farnocchia]

I Like Blaze's voice in this song.

Bruce is awesome, but in this particular song, Blaze sing very good too.

[metalprinc]

@Farnocchia

i live my way is great too

[Gustavotenis]

@Farnocchia YEAH!! \ ,, /

[TBoneMontana]

Bruce sings it really good its a good Maiden song but its still better with Blaze .

[sdag0g0]

awesome sound ;) fucking awesome iron maiden :DDD

[WawaZombie]

Awesome version !

Today, I feel I'm a man on the edge.

[kingbrandor]

Blaze is the only former member of maiden I will never miss. I wish Maiden would remaster x factor and virtual x1 with bruce's vocals , that would be awesome

[Maidensfan1]

@kingbrandor You're not alone, I wish they remaster those albums with Bruce's vocals as well. Maybe that way Bruce's haters can't shut the fuck up. UP THE IRONS!!!

[Maidensfan1]

@Maidensfan1 I meant Bruce's haters can shut the fuck up. UP THE IRONS!!!

[sasukesama14142]

This is the best song Bailey had sung with Maiden. I'm not saying Bruce ain't the best, but I really loved the original version. This one is cool too though.

[Animal604]

The Clansman, Sign Of The Cross, Futureal, and Man On The Edge are ones of my most liked songs from Maiden... with Dickinson ALIVE. Great compositions!

[calamard99]

who cant share me this cd???

[laionet]

better than the original. Bruce rules!

[allformsofagony]

Can't say it's bad. But it's surely not better than Blaze's version. No way. This song was written for Blaze's style and doesn't fit Bruce's. The song looses so much of its punch... just listen to the chorus... it's an awesome song, but definetly better in Blaze's voice.

[ElwoodTheBlues1988]

its the only way to sing it.

[BrianMont1]

Is the pic moving!?

[pablogunner91]

I LOVE BRUCE!



[MrElSatan]

awesome!

[acesk8]

what is this bootleg?

[WrathchildNH]

this was by far the best fitting song for Blaze to sing didn't like most of his songs......but Bruce nails it as well

[kulgan18]

Blaze gets so much shit but is a competent singer, his version is even better than Bruce.

Altough to be fair the instruments do drown Bruce vocals on this Live version.

[deneheat101]

Blaze Bailey's voice sounds deeper thans Bruces voice,But Bruce still sings it well!

[lonewolf202]

I'm listening to this song and I have a couple of flights later on, hope I wont fall down, but if I do I will request this song be played over the aircom

[Levaxia]

One man is falling down.

[arrocknroll]

@dogshit94 actually, since we're talking officials here, he was officially declared 6th best frontman of all time.

[schmidty506]

@arrocknroll who was number one?

[ironmetalhead21]

the intro is sick!!!

UP THE IRONS

[SHAMELO123]

beautiful drums

[stevexiii]

Sorry Blaze! Better luck next time!

[motopsycho619]

fucking amazing !!

[Panxo063]

This is the only song that Blaze sing best to Bruce xD

[2minutestomammoth]

@Panxo063 And yet Bruce still does it well. I think that this is one of the songs that Bruce does better. He has more energy and owns the song more.

I think that Blaze does the dark stuff like the beginnings of Afraid to Shoot Strangers and Virus (& other XFactor stuff) better than Bruce, but Bruce is better at just about everything else.

theyre both great singers.

The fact is that (in my opinion) Bruce can do Blaze's parts better than the other way around, and Bruce has more energy and screams.

[lonewolf202]

@Panxo063 this one and the Angel and the Gambler

[Visnu2007]

Blaze was a good singer, but people, in fact:

X Factor,most songs have been written for bruce' voice. harris himself says that.

Virtual XI has been written for Blaze voice. you can clearly hear that in songs such as "Lightning strikes twice" oder when two world collide

but these songs are better with bruce, man on the edge, sign of the cross...

but people are right: blaze bashing sucks! its not his fault that he had to fit into the suit of a titan, he's a great singer with his own vibe!!!!

[radacast7]

this is a song for blaza....and for those who mock Blaze just see what he is doing with his own band

[rufus566]

I don't think anybody thought Blaze was a bad singer when X factor came out but just thought he was very limited. Blaze can sing one type of song and that is it and to progress you got to do more. I said yes when I popped in the album and heard Sign and then was really disappointed when I heard Blaze's voice crack and crumble for the rest of the tracks. Blaze had to cut tours short because of allergies and could not hit the mark two nights in a row. Bruce can.

[shoeme123]

i think blaze is good at his songs and same with bruce not the other way around

[elp999]

I fell on the chair!!

FALLING DOWN!!!

FALLING DOWN!!!

[Mihaius1]

Totally Blaze!!

[donnygemini1983]

both do good jobs but bruce has more bite

[champfodz1212]

BLAAAAAZZZEEE!!!

[weirdguy59]

in my opinion bruce sings all the blaze songs better than blaze

[akaboo69]

@weirdguy59 exactly Blaze cant sing hes horrid could not even stand the albums blaze was on

[bozhno]

@akaboo69

You're so terribly wrong. Blaze could sing some songs better (Sign of the Cross, When Two Worlds Collide), but he's not bad, let alone horrid. He's a good singer and he should be more respected.

[riogallegos1]

in this song is better blaze

[comicbookguy90]

wow i never heard this version before and i love this song with Blaze but Bruce just pwns this totally!!!! BRUCE ROCKS!!!

[flanny09]

No love for Paul? personally Iron Maiden and Killers were better than the albums Blaze sang on.

Now Maiden wouldn't have been right without Bruce though he's still my number 1, but Paul is a close second in my opinion.

[decidor]

@flanny09 paul is fantastic,pero diferente a bruce,no es mejor bruce que paul,son diferentes y geniales ambos,pero bruce ademas tiene mucho feeling, mucho showman,dianno no tiene esa personalidad.blaze baley un desatre, muy inexpresivo ,ademas de no llegar a las notas altas jamas.

[RAFAEL302]

No... No.... BLAZE BAYLEY!!!!!!!!!! BLAZE!BLAZE!BLAZE!BLAZE!BLAZE!­BLAZE!BLAZE!BLAZE!BLAZE!

[WastedYears1991]

paul oh my god im so glad he left he struggled to get vis voice im so glad bruce was chosen cos maiden wouldnt have got this far without him granted blaze isn't as good but he never would live upto bruce but he's miles better than paul. for me bruce is better at screaming but thats a diff matter, blaze has a good voice there's no escaping that but bruce is just better

[DMEB]

nicko is fucking pounding the drums here!!! sounds great!!!!

[MetallicaFan349]

for me it sounds better with blaze. but hey thats an opinion

great performance though. up the irons!

[davestheman4janice]

Bruce is ok here, but Im used to hearing Blaze sing this. Sounds familiar. Kinda like when Blaze sang the songs Bruce did with Maiden. Its all apples and oranges to me, Maiden is awesome whoever is singing.

[senamuc]

For me, Bruce it's amazing here. The only song that Dickinson sings bad live is Lord of the Flies., because he changed the way of how you should be singed, but if he wanted to, he would sing it just like blaze.

[Guardian9191]

I have Lord of the flies live on Death on the road, and I kindof like the way bruce is doing it. He uses this flat voice

[senamuc]

@Guardian9191 Well , i have listened that live version and other from that same tour but i don't like it. Taste is taste ...\m/

[huckitamuckit]

i think steve recruited blaze because he saw himself in blaze

[GrandeInquisitor]

@huckitamuckit Absolutely, I've always thought that. They have extremely similar personalities, both are very dark.

[Guardian9191]

Yea bruceis the best...but I think maiden needed the blaze era. X factor still n fucking great cd love nearly every song. And they are great when bruce or blaze sings them.

A lot more deep and sad then brave new world for example

[GrandeInquisitor]

@Guardian9191 Definitely, while I overall prefer Blazes style (see Wolfsbane and solo work for example) to post golden years maiden (say... seventh son) X Factor was one of those albums where you could easily learn the words to every song. From Lord of the Flies to the deep 2AM, and Fortunes of War, it's an album thats stuck with me for sure.

[TrueIronMaidenFan]

@Guardian9191 dude are you ficking kidding me?? The X Factor and Virtuel XI blow hard dick, just likes blazes voice. saying their better then Brave New World is like saying that Bob Dylan is a better singer then Dio. and Blaze joining the band was anything BUT a good thing! it was the single worst thing that ever happened to the band. your statment is appauling, go to hell and how dare you call yourself a Iron Maiden fan!

[Guardian9191]

@TrueIronMaidenFan Well, according to your name you are the only true Iron Maiden fan?

How can you be a maiden fan If you call their 90's era " Blow hard dick". Seriously ?

I posted that comment a year ago, but I still stand with it. I didn't say X-Factor and V-X is better than BNW. I said it is more sad, and emotional on a different level(BNW is my favorite Maiden album BTW) They are different-Mysterious. But it takes longer to get into, maybe one day you too will love those cd's

[Guardian9191]

@TrueIronMaidenFan I hate those fans that feel themselves the most ultimate hardcore fan, and then at their live shows would be the ones pushing through to take my place at the front with violence because we are not worthy.

Fuck you.

And Blaze is a bloody good singer. Obviously different than Bruce, thats why Bruce came back to keep them the ultimate live band, but still Blaze deserves respect.

And rather than comparing Dio and Dylan compare Dio and Ozzy. Dylan is a great artists in his own.

[TrueIronMaidenFan]

@Guardian9191 I gurantee im a WAY bigger and True fan then yourself. Iron Maiden owuld admitt The X Factor and Virtuel XI were awful! Blaze isant a horrible singer. but Bruce Dickinson is one of the top 5 rock singers that have ever lived and obviously a million times better then Blaze and Diano combined. If you had any brain youd realize i was COMPLEMENTING Dio and INSULTING Bon Dylan. im not a idiot i know talent. and if ucking love DIo

[TrueIronMaidenFan]

@Guardian9191 you fucking retard! Steve claims his 2 favorite albums to be Piece of Mind and Brave New World! you stop writing lies you fuck up!

[LivingWorstNightmare]

Blaze fucking sucks, how you people take him over Paul, I just don't know.

[gibsonsg1423]

@LivingWorstNightmare

Bruce was the best, then Di'anno, then blaze

[GrandeInquisitor]

@LivingWorstNightmare Aren't you fucking cool asshole!

[letrinus]

his voice is not low enough to get compared with Blaze

[Fringway]

I'm a really big fan of Dickinson, but Blaze's version is SO much better !

I still consider The X Factor a fucking great album

[fandeyayo]

1-bruce 2-blaze 3-paul

[plantz1980]

besides bruce;;;;;who would you prefer''paul or blaze?

[eszti6666]

you will never get bored with maiden..you will always discover something new in it!!up the irons!!

[jaedu860212]

Bruce was born to sing in IM. Neither Paul, nor Blaze... They were such a good performers but Bruce is Irreplaceable. EOC

[johnrutgergall]

No one sings better than Bruce !

UPP THE IRONS FROM SWE!

[DogShit94]

@johnrutgergall it is probably because he is officialy declared as the best vocalist in the world

[zohair2m]

@DogShit94 Officially?

[DogShit94]

@zohair2m hell yeah!

[emgl100]

@johnrutgergall DU HAR 110% RÄTT!!!!!!

[internalpeaceseeker]

man, nobody can beat bruce

one of my favourite maiden tunes

[Muringarocks]

Blaze Bayley's version of this song is awesome, and I thinhk that could be better than Dickinson... so I heard this and I had to admit that no one can sing better than Bruce in Iron Maiden

[krokimaiden]

Blaze recorded this song to sing , but it is the quality Bruce!!!!!!

[patsupfan]

tell me i spew blasphemy for saying this if you must.

i like the studio version with blaze on vocals better.

it seems like each iron maiden vocalist is really best suited to sing the songs that they originally sang on. only exception to the rule was virtual xi. bruce definitely is better suited for the stuff off of that one.

[reallykek]

word man. This is truly Blaze's song. It's his voice who should be singing this, not bruce...Never bruce.... :;P

[thesignals]

I agree

I like both but this one is Blaze's

[muertoenlaca]

where is this version?

[sortatikatafarcu]

it is on the wicker man single cd

[paokntg19]

good job!
