  • Comment removed

  • Well, yeah type FM that girl live in youtube's box, it's the first result you get, it's HD and uploaded by acarabal, Steve is of course older, but i think the guitarist is an other guy, i'm not sure, but the guitars are far better, faster, harder (IMO)...Check it out, i'm sure that a lot of you will be suprised, how an "old" band can play better than they were young..it's fuckin great, really Rocks..

  • Great fuckin song, a jewel of AOR..and it's even better at a live the band played at 2007..cause, ya know, when an 80's band play live nowadays the music they used to play 20 or more years before, usually they aren't as good as the original version..BUT FM is really better, Harder from the original and faster..i don't know, maybe that's just me, but watch this on the live they played 2007, i don't remember the place right now..fuck..i'll post again..

  • Wonderful emotions! 0:54 to 1:00 this is absolutely awesome!!! Besides, all song is like hiding away dream...

  • THE MULLET; making people ugly since the Dawn of Time.

  • @maldororfiend The Mullet; making people awesome since the Dawn Of Time

    The Mullet; making bald guys fuckin' envious since the Dawn Of Time.

  • Top Band FM, so them in Manchester a few times awesome............

  • You go uncle steve !

  • some whack ass style... 80's what were you thinking.

  • Never heard of them back in the 80... these guys are good.

  • I prefer this version! Up the FM!

  • I appreciate Iron Maiden but this music obviously is made by FM to FM

    Astounding essence, vibrition, this is why Heavy Metal is 80´s and 80´s shall last beyond forever, sounds interesting with Bruce Dickinson, but ... FM deserve to be Excelsior!

  • @HeavyMetal80sRules i still wrote it ........

  • Anyone know where the video was filmed?

  • Seen these live at Download this year, Been wanting to see these live mainly for this song for years.

  • brilliant band :)

  • Great song... but not this version :P

  • LOL Now i see where Adrian Smith inspires his hair cut !

  • Great cover!

  • Comment removed

  • @SammyXxMonster cover? i think you'll find this is the original, and iron maiden covered the song.

  • @missdoublesided

    Oops my bad, was told this was a cover.

    Well awesome none the less.

  • @SammyXxMonster no this is the original :)

  • @missdoublesided I think it was written for a band named 'The Entire population of Hackney'.Correct me if I'm wrong.But this what i know

  • @SammyXxMonster

    It is a 'cover' of sorts. It was written for 'The entire population of Hackney' which featured Adrian Smith but the song was co written by future FM guitarist And Barnett who was a long time friend of the band.

  • @KaptainKaotic Nah.. i wrote it.......

  • ...and there is no hot girl in the video .-)

  • A great version but I think I just like the heavier sound of maidens

  • auto to koritsi me exei kanei na akouw 80's apo to prwi mexri to vradu... tin agapaw kai den me pisteuei... akoma kai an exw ton diko mou parakseno tropo na tis to deixnw :P ax... that girl :P

  • Fm Rulez!!!!

  • Both versions are good

  • @JahnosSardonis na boa,o maiden salvou essa musica desses tanga frouxa.

  • @flavio666ist primeiro o nome da banda: FM, lugar de musiquinha pop farofa e banda poser. Vai ver q essa é uma versão homossexual, a versão hetero é a do Maiden

  • I love Maiden but I like this version better.

    I am sure if FM did Number of the beast, it would not compaire to Iron Maiden.

  • @z06forme I just did. They're fucking different. Deal with it.

  • seen them last night. classic

  • They toured in support of Gary Moore in 85 and Bon jovi in 86 on their uk tours!!!!

  • They played donington( download) in 2010 aswell !!!

  • where is nash the slash?

  • @Love4SK ,,,Dude this a British Band with the same name,no Cameron Hawkins ,no Martin Deller either.(name stealers!)

  • @z06forme No it's not the same song. Different lyrics.

  • It's not even the same song...

  • These guys are coming to belfast I get to see them along with Journey and Foreigner... HELL YEAH!!!

  • Saw these guys live in Newcastle in 2010 and they were as good as ever, looked a bit different but who cares!! That Girl is still their best ever track - so here's to the next 20 years.

  • @barefootwarrior1 me to was great one of the best gigs i have been to last year

  • Comment removed

  • Finally! After following these guys for over twenty years, they get to play Download!

    Well, I still call it Donnington, but my kids keep correcting me!

  • Classic 80s rock at it's absolute best ... I don't think I'll ever tire of this song and it's superb guitar lead!!!

  • Damned! I had a casette-tape in my pocket going to my military service in 86. FM!

    We played it till it made sallad in the player!

    I never heard anything from FM again (got family and so on)

    Thanx marisha4sure!! LOVE YOU!!

  • Unbelivable...I had a casette-tape in mu pocket joining my military service back in 86. FM! Haevent heard them scince then.

    Thanx a hole lot, marisha4sure!! Damned they are great!!! Thanx again!

  • Hi guys...love FM and aor /rock in general. Above is one of my original song demo's...hope you like it

  • Love the pink suit at 1:30!!!

  • What ever happened to them, why ever where they never a very big hit like bon jovi, I think they are better!!!!

  • @MJDickson69 They are back together and touring again.I managed to see them last year here in Birmingham.Check out last years album Metropolis it's brilliant.

  • Both bands have equally enjoyable versions of the song. From what I've read, the band Iron Maiden members created featured at least one member of FM. I'm not sure about the origin of this song, but if Maiden members created the song during their stint with Hackney, I believe that means a member of FM participated in the development of the song as well.

  • Hey guys, do you want a laugh..... check out Iron Maidens version

    Bruce really murders it . I`d be interested to hear from you on this

  • @devilsdeck hahaha yeahhhhhh we re all laughing at you!!! but its ok we understand u prob tone deaf

  • @devilsdeck

    Nah man. Bruce sounds awesome, in my opinion.

  • I first saw FM at the Ipswich Gaumont. The walls were shaking as they were doing a sound check!

  • AOR AND HARD ROCK,THE BEST MUSIC EVER!!!

  • That's one heck of a song!The 80's rock

  • There is no better this way or that, the music was created for FM so the owner is always the exact way, but obvius if there is a better way is appreciate with FM and Iron Maiden, Heavy Metal essence that is it

  • I wrote it.

  • Love the 80`s !

  • Great song.

  • Love these guys!

  • amazing group.

  • It's mullett madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is a fm song maiden covered it

  • @bearpvfc See "The Entire Population of Hackney" in wikipedia and know better. :)

  • how can anyone say this is better then iron maidens,,,

  • metal sucks. AOR forever

  • Metalheads usually don't understand AOR, it's that simple...

  • I listened to that Iron Maiden's version of that song and i don't understand anyone who says FM's version is worse. I mean this version has a better beat, great sound, really cool guitar solo and the vocal is way, waaaaaaay much better.

  • @Monamika84

    I totally agree... And i'm an Iron maiden fan.

    Steve Overland's voice is so fucking amazing... :P

  • @Monamika84 Well, for one the beat really isn't any better, there's constant gallop and it isn't slow and boring, the solo and even the normal lead parts are waaay better than the solo in here (but it is good in here) and the vocals aren't any better or worse they're just different styles... I love AOR and Heavy Metal, but when I pick up a guitar and just play I play metal because I enjoy playing more than just legato chords, there is substance in metal that AOR severely lacks (musically)

  • Nice song, but I would get rid of synthesizers.

    Iron Maiden's version sounded much better.

  • @greatleahart KILL THE POSERS!!!

  • no maiden, no heavy metal....FM AOR Forever....!

  • Maidens version of this kicks this out of the water. I cant even listen to this all the way through without cringing while Maidens i can listen to over and over.,

  • thank god for maiden making this song 100x better

  • maiden cover is much better than this glam shit !! xD

  • @Mejdenovac fuck you...aor fover......!

  • @Mejdenovac Daj glupane začepi labrnju i odi si slušaj one metalčiće.

  • @AORCrazy E moj slepce, idi ubij se :D

  • @Mejdenovac Daj glupane začepi labrnju i odi si slušaj onu metalurgiju.

  • @AORCrazy Hahahahha, e moj slepce, idi ubij se!

  • very 80s and very good ;)

  • good song ,good group.

  • Hi - great stuff - would love to see FM live and would love to see a FM/SHY tour. By the way new SHY album due later 2010 - following up the brilliant Sunset & Vine (2005) - the new album will rock and would love to see some FM fans at SHY's gigs -

    Who else thinks a tour together would work? Great band FM .

  • Hard Rock-Aor Forever N.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • iron maidens version is better this sounds like shit

  • awesome !

  • Miami vice has a lot to answer for

  • maiden = heavy

    fm= aor

    2 great bands

  • this is classic mid 80s AOR, both versions rule. The Maiden version is definitely more intense

  • I love Iron Maiden but this version sounds better than Iron Maiden version :)

  • I read somewhere that Maiden never would have recorded it if they knew FM would do a version too. I really like this version, but it's completely different. And the Maiden version has some of the best Bruce Dickinson singing ever.

  • Maiden version is way better

  • Had to have the mandatory 1980's whammy bar "woo woo woo woo" at the end.

  • oh wow completely different from iron maiden. i love the iron maiden version but this is good in its own way i guess

  • Awesome track off the best British melodic rock album ever - Indiscreet. Co-written by Andy Barnett and features the unique talents of Chris Overland on guitar...Mernvhas now swapped the pink suit for a more reserved pinstripe number complete with hat...jury is out on which is better!!

  • FM wrote this song...Maiden used it.

  • Holy shit this is bad. iron maiden do it properly.

  • FM came up with this song first right???

  • This is just UGLY, go listen the Maiden version ;)

  • holiday def leppard

  • fuck iron maiden version to hell with metal.

  • Fuckin Melodic!

  • Iron Maiden vers is great, but FM is beater...

    AOR FOR EVER <3

  • @Ventilou12 dont eat shit

  • @Ventilou12 You cant compare them

  • Iron Maiden version sucks... Their version totally kills the felling of this song.

    You must be really fans of Bruce to say this...

  • Stop talking about Maiden, it's not the same song! Jeez....

  • Awesome video! Great song! How can you not go wrong with FM/UK? These guys are awesome!

  • jajsjasj maiden lo toqa mejor^=P aunq dicen q el cover q ase iron maiden no es d esta banda =S

  • indeed, the maiden version sucked compared to this.

  • this version is the best

  • class!!!

  • I like FM's version over Maiden's

  • maiden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What does FM stand for?

  • hell no, iron maiden kick SOO much ass, but this version has WAAAY more soul.....you really appreciate the keyboard playing in this too....and the epic mong running on the beach!! THIS IS PRICELESS!!!!! FM RULE!!! XD

  • @Dredlevisener

    You are right man... Two different styles.. but I this one's more melodic...

  • 1:50 ZOLTAN!!! LOL

    UP THE IRON

  • xd this suck! Emo music XD

    Up The Irons

  • this is horribly homoerotic and tastelessly sleezy

  • hmm so let me get this right... Iron Maiden covered a song by a Canadian Band? pretty nice!

  • Naturally.

  • AOR earthy shit that lift the mood ,Overland is a world class singer

  • hi there, the guitar riff are incredible ..

    Seems like Chris Overland had been underrated ?

    btw, any other sites that i could find guitar work by Chris Overland ?

  • the FM version is "pop rock"

    maiden version (is not heavy metal) but classic rock

  • @thomaslejon "pop" being short 4 "popular".

  • It's AOR not pop rock!

  • we agree with you totally always aor

  • Yeah best Music ever!

  • i recently got introduced to these and now i actually love them

  • Hello! what´s the album name? (cd album) thanks!

  • @doverzen "indescreet" 1986

  • I like both versions, but to be true I don't like Bruce at that time. I prefer him after he came back to Maiden.

  • Yay!! -3 for criticizing Bruce Dickinson! Thank you, fanboys!

  • I don't think you need to be a fanboy to appreciate Bruce Dickinson's vocals more earlier in Maiden's history. He's always amazing IMO, but I think the way those people who thumbed down your last comment took it is "Bruce is better now than ever", which I, too, disagree with. Can't beat that scream on Number...

  • i like the chorus on this one, but maiden's version is better

  • I like both versions of the song as well, but when I see that guy running at 0:09 seconds . . . holy cow.

  • Ive heard them both and to be honest, they are both good. :)

  • i only heard the maiden one recently,cant take to it tho imho.

  • It's the mullet that made this song catchy...

  • why the hell do people have to resort to mindless bullshit comments???......Fm fans will prefer this and Maiden fans will prefer the other...so for god sake grow up and dont slag peoples preferences......

  • yes,we should enjoy our musical diversity.

  • i like this version better...

  • I'll state the redundant: this song is very 80's sounding. Too 80's sounding, in fact. I think Maiden's version is more timeless sounding.

  • look guys they are really different maiden are more metal this is like new wave!i prefer maidens but this guy's vocals suit better for this one

  • Adrian's version is pure awesome

  • FUCK THIS`, IronMaiden is better

  • Who cares? Its a shit hot song either way. If you like FM, try Shy... especially the classic 'Excess All Areas' album

  • Saw FM at this year's Firefest.....Steve Overland has not lost a thing vocally, the man sounds better than ever

  • just listened to the maiden version, had a laugh and switched back to this.

  • this is the dickless version with keyboards

  • hehehe this is sucks...up the irons...

  • you would obviously know what dickless is you brainless idiot. If maiden want to do their version of a song that's up the them and you listen to it but don't come on here slagging others off cos I bet you couldn't do better!

  • translate this: pompinaro e succhia cazzi
