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.
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!
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.
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!!!!!!!
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.
Hahaha what kind of a comment is that ? It's a studio recording you know that right ? It's not live. He can record two different instruments for the same record. I can't believe I'm even answering to this lol
@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.
@pumping2 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! :)

@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
@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
@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.
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!
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!!
@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.
@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
@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.
@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).
Happy birthday Adrian!
