  • Happy birthday Adrian!

  • POST SCRIPT; i forgot to mention: does anyone else think the "dun-dun-dun-DAH-DAH" riff sounds like a metal version of the National Geographic theme song? Just me? Fine. i still <3 the song.

  • This is like Maiden bubble gum pop. Yet weirdly, it's probably one of my favorites of theirs. o.~

  • Better than Bayley...

  • adrian smith had a couple of albums out in the earlie nineties and they wernt half bad silver and gold one was called

  • smith is a fuckin good singer :O

  • good song !!!!

  • Bloody Hell , didn't know there was a video to this ,Awesome.Always loved this since I bought the single in 86.

  • @Gookbuster1 This is the video to Wasted Years just a little remodeled.

  • I spent like 50euros to get the Best of the bsides because of this song then I found the other tracks lol

  • Infuckingcredible

  • 2:16 Adrian sneezes lol

  • I'm surprised, I didn't knew about the vocal of Adrian in this song, he is a great singer for a guitar man.

    Up the Iron Brazil!

  • i.. just... love the adrian voice

    UP THE IRONS!!!!

  • iron maiden best song, this song makes me feel good ! brasil porra !

  • Hard Rocker voice!

  • Adrian Smith is a great singer, not as good as Bruce but Adrian could be the lead singer in a Rock N Roll band, but he fits best as a guitarist in Maiden!

  • Comment removed

  • I fucking love this song! BTW, I love what you done using the Wated Years music video for this song - Genius Work Buddy. Thank you for uploading this.

  • The clip is Wasted Years....

  • <3 i miiss!

  • I would give my right arm to hear Bruce sing this.

  • If Iron Maiden Was a Rock n Roll band :D

  • Anybody still have this picture disc?? I lost it :(

  • @metalcruzer yes mate im sure i still have the picture disc off this

  • Mágico!!!

  • deffinatly a one of a kind maiden song \m/

  • @bltallen it`s more like rock/hard rock

  • Rich out and let someone in to your life , la la la :)

  • bruce's backing vocals is awesome!

  • Hell his not only a very good songwriter but also a good vocalist and i'm not talking about that his one of the best guitarist of all time!!!!! WASTED YEARS is the best song ever!!!!!!!

  • wow

  • Bruce will alway be the voice of Maiden...but damn : O Adrian sings VERY GOOD : D

  • This music video is a chopped up version of the wasted years video, had me fooled at first, you can check Steve jamming away on the bass in the beginning with no bass in the song...good song though.

  • Comment removed

  • to this people, this song is from iron maiden, from the wasted years LP....

  • All the instruments except for the drums are played by Adrian Smith on that recording. Steve Harris and Dave Murray didn't play.

  • @BlackenedThunder Are you kidding?? How can I hear bass if Steve didn`t play?

  • @traviangeek100

    I said "All the instruments". Adrian also played the bass on that one.

  • @BlackenedThunder I doubt he could play bass and guitar at once

  • Comment removed

  • @traviangeek100 lol when ur recording u play bass first then guitar....

  • @Huoha Why didn`t just Steve play it instead?

  • Quality track. Adrian's vocals are awesome.

  • one of the best maiden song ever...

  • I've always loved this song, I had no idea there was a video!

  • @PyroMessiah1974 I don't think this song has a video. These are just clips from the video to Wasted Years as far as I know :)

  • great song....bruce on the chorus..epic

  • Love the backvocals too!

  • Video from Wasted Years

  • reaaaaaallly great performance by Adrian, but goddamn listen to Bruce when he goes in......

  • Ive listened to this about 1000 times! (haha im exaggerating a bit!)

  • Adrian is a pretty good singer.

  • It doesn't sound like Maiden at all,not even metal

  • @pumping2 That's maybe because it's not a maiden song. Adrian,dave and other persons from famous bands made this song together. But no one else than maiden is playing it (No one is playing it live anymore,maiden did it like 4-5 times.) And adrian is the one that is singing at this one while bruce is at the backing vocals.

  • All i can see is a dislike dot. xD

    Adrian has done great on this one! =D

  • 216391 vieuw and rising for a "rare" song^^

  • ouhhhh  good voice... adrian smith !!!!

  • hmmm good voice but not very metal, sounds a bit like Bon jovi.

  • This is amazing. Love Adrian! Check out wasted years on flight 666 for another bit of his voice :)

  • What's the name of the original band? Because this is a cover,right?

  • @MaidenOfTheMaidens

    It's from "The entire population of Hackney" - a gig with members of Maiden and some other bands :) So it is Adrian on origial vocals, but not Bruce on background vocals =) This one is great thou - Adrian has a good voice, and Bruce gives it something extra! :)

  • Hey guys whats the original band?

  • Fuck yeah.

  • Y U NO LET ADRIAN SING WEN BRUCE LEAVE ?? :3

  • @TheGroumpfy adrian left before bruce idiot

  • @TheGroumpfy Adrian left before Bruce, so he wasn't really an option.

  • This is orginal video from Reach Out?

  • @RemixPLrc96

    No, these are cuts of the "Wasted Years" video.

  • I LOVE IT !!!!!!

  • if bruce get out of the band again adrian should be the new singer

  • @abcde6409 And who would be the guiarist? It wouldn't be maiden if the singer were lpaying guitar at the same time...Bruce won't leave the band again anyway. The next album now after the final frontier will be released 2012 or 2013

  • @MaidenOfTheMaidens dave and janick, i guess 2 guitars its enough, isnt it??

  • @abcde6409 Not for maiden because if they're going to play the new songs of maiden,they'll need 3...

  • it's the best backing vocals ever

  • Adrian is a god!

  • Bruce on backing vocals in chorus .

  • @dred000 thank you captain obvious. did you know that night is dark? when you sleep you dream too.

  • I liked his comment just to wind you up lol

  • up the Irons!!!

  • He could be the leadsinger of Maiden too...

  • @TheWasipowergames hi was the lead vocals on his band before maiden and also in''psicho motel'' after leaving maiden ,he was in band called ''the untouchables'' but i don't know if he was the voice in that band

  • @smagator I know

  • @metalprinc

    No?

  • @TheWasipowergames

    adrian is great, but bruce is bruce.

  • @metalprinc

    I totally agree with you

  • @TheWasipowergames

    did u heard nicko singing age of innocence? :P

  • @metalprinc

    yeah..;)

    Very nice one :D

  • Adrian is a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

  • hier meister mit maiden liegen wir hier en bissel falsch my friend, schande über dich!

  • Davey looks like janick in this vid o.O

  • Adrian should have replaced Bruce in the 90's.

  • @randomstofil Adrian left in the 90s too, so that would have been a "no", I guess.

  • @GamerTrashed Too bad :/ Blaze wasn't as bad as people say though

  • @randomstofil No kidding. I love the Blaze records. Such a shame Blaze is never played anymore. You should check out Blaze's solo albums. Those are great too.

  • @GamerTrashed Agreed. I love The X Factor, one of their best in my opinion. Virtual XI is kinda weak by Maiden's standards though.

  • this is the wasted years video. wow, never figured that out

  • Adrian is a good singer and a great guitarist!

  • Adrian sounds really good!! I never knew!! hahaha. He sounds sort of like Bruce in a way

  • adrian sang vocals in his band urchin before joining maiden!! hes excellent!!! so is davey.......and nicko........and bruce-bruce....and gers......and arry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of course they kick ass!!! its FKN MAIDEN!! UP THE IRONS!

  • He sings like a God!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • FUCK ADRIAN SINGS GOOD!

  • It's magnific !!! :) <3

  • According to the swedish wikipedia, this song is written by adrian smith, nicko mcbrain and former bandmates of adrian from urchin Dave Colwell and Andy Barnett. It was written after the world slavery tour when nicko was renting a studio in the bahamas. the guys called their band The entire population of hackney and only lasted in 1985. the song ended up on the wasted years single. this video is from wasted years ;) Very good song!!

  • @ollebulle2006

    according to Run to the hills (mick wall) band´s biography

  • stilll not iron maiden fuckturds

  • @pepel80 This is Iron Maiden.. You surely must be retarded.. Can you not see the entire band playing together ?

  • @mexicano7771000 To be fair, this video isn't actually for this song. I THINK it's the Wasted Years video edited to look like it's for this song, but yes. It is most definitely Iron Maiden playing this song.

  • @pepel80

    This is Iron Maiden, dumbfuck....

  • @pepel80 b side from somewhere in time... if you dont now then yes you truly are a shit stain

  • @pepel80 b side from somewhere in time. released as iron maiden,recorded as iron maiden,sold as iron maiden

  • De las pocas canciones que me gusta de Iron Maiden, creo Yo! esta es la mejor,,, XD

  • This is real HQ.

  • 2:52 JANICK? HAHAHA

  • Adrian is my god damn hero. He can literally do it all. He's my favourite.

  • @pepel80 IF YOU DON'T KNOW, ADRIAN SMITH SING THIS SONG, AND BRUCE DICKINSON IS IN THE CHORUS, WHO IS THE "FUIKING" IDIOT NOW?

  • @LPRLZJuanK93 you forgot that the song was released as a b-side on the wasted years single.

  • @pepel80 yeah the guitarist Adrian smith is on vocals on this song, bruce does the backing vocals

  • @pepel80 STFU idiot 

  • @pepel80 Get out this video!

  • 2:52 looks so fucking like janick!

  • @allahbadd Fucking hell it does

  • Only song I know of where they let Adrian sing, In my opinion he can sing some more. He isn't as good as Bruce but he has a nice ring in his voice.

    Up the Irons

  • Is there something which Adrian can't do?

  • Comment removed

  • This song is really fantastic. MAIDEN RULES, UP THE IRONS FROM COLOMBIA /,,,/

  • halo reah

    

  • Nicko's drumming is sick

  • And let someone into your life..

  • I see a little bit of Rush's influence in this song. Iron Maiden members were fans of Rush anyhow. Anybody else notice this?

  • @ufofan1980 i cant really see the influence but id like to. could you point out a couple of them? im a pretty big Rush fan myyself

  • @KingCliffBurton i see it too.it has a "happy" feeling,this song,but I can't explain it,

    by the way,love your nickname.

  • @hugopereira14 oh ok that much i can understand. and thanks haha :)

  • @ufofan1980 rush rocks!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ufofan1980 This song definitely has a Rush influence. Kind of reminds me of Time Stand Still.

  • Fantastic song.... Adrian sings with bruce backing vocals, brilliant!

  • 18 people didnt reach out.

  • @irnmadn99 i need 18 bullets

  • @MrMrfearofthedark Here, have a glock. It has a 20 bullet clip, but I suspect that is fine with you?

  • Oh, this sound fantastic. I love Adrian's voice, and with Bruce... It's so fucking beautifull!

  • got this on my ipod. i just love bruce when he sings reach out after adrian

  • wasted years video

  • Muy Buena Canción

  • Great Song!!!

  • I love this song!

  • perfeita música

  • perfeita música

  • PERFEITO... essa música é foda!

  • This is going in my favorites THUMBS UP IF THIS WENT IN YOUR FAVORITES 

  • I absolutely LOVE how none of the instruments match the music.

  • AORn Maiden!

  • this is the best shit I've ever heard!

  • From which band is the original version of this cover?

  • @HPMadruga It's not a cover. It was written by Adrian.

  • @HPMadruga So it's like "Burning Ambition", a great song of a B-side! Thanks a lot, I started to realize that was a Adrian composition!

  • the video is pieces of the wasted years one i think

  • it true is maiden's b-side. i have all the b-side of maiden got from isohunt.com. but the vid is not its. there's no videos of this song at all

  • WHY THE FUCK DID IRON MAIDEN PICK BLAZE!?? ADRAIN IS 102873019827 TIMES BETTER.

  • @JoeCalfire i agree but his voice just is different from what maiden is. but it would be cool if adrian was instead of blaze :D the albums would sound kind of like Iron Maiden and Killers with paul

  • @FrozenSparky adrian wasnt with iron maiden when blaze joined so he couldn't have been the singer

  • @xDXPxJOEx456x1 ......Adrian DID sing on this song. This song was the B side for "Wasted Years" during the Somewhere in Time album/tour. This song never was put out on a CD until recently where I think Maiden issued a "Best of the B Sides" CD. Adrian's voice is great! He also had a couple of different projects, one was called ASAP (Adrian Smith and Project). Good stuff there too.

  • @celticattack yea i know all that what does that have to do with me

  • @xDXPxJOEx456x1 .....sorry, that post was meant for FrozenSparky.

  • @JoeCalfire Adrian left before Blaze, so it wouldn't have been possible. Remember - they made two studio albums with Bruce and post-Adrian (No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark).

  • All those who don't think this is M
