Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man (Radio Edit)

[Equipe3v]

I miss the lead guitar in the chorus!

[XxLibra86xX]

The extra vocals are awesome, Up The Irons from here to eternity !

[ShadowFox37]

THY WILL BE DONE! DON'T TURN, DON'T RUN!

[Piotrmiko]

Ok, I need to see this live, with Adrian on the extra vocals. Please? :)

[80sMeavyHetal]

"You watch the world exploding every single night!"

Nicko's and Adrian's masterpiece (one of the many :D )

\m/ >.< \m/

[666vaderus]

UP THE IRONS !!!

[MaxPayneIzRudog]

This song got me into Maiden.

[xSantiiag0ox]

@MaxPayneIzRudog me too :DDD 12 years ago

[rainmaker4mk]

UP THE IRONS !!!

[mjonatasmoreira]

hey guys, check my try for this solo, hope you enjoy... :)

up the irons!

[warpedmind87]

3 people didn't pay the ferryman.......

[remotenightowl]

@IoAllegraAndCo, I read the lyrics, I am pretty sure it is "I'LL BE THE ONE" and, "BURN ON THE SUN", anyway, UP THE IRONS!!!!

[wickedonepl]

3 persons will be done xd

[ironmaiden99999]

Truly wicked addition to the chorus, has this dark ritualistic chant like element to it, i absolutely love it !!!

[bobyard123]

i dont like that version

[MaxPayneIzRudog]

Niko never plays with two kick pedals, he said it's ''un-drummerish''...Harris said that Niko is ''crazy'' so he can do it very fast..

[666MeBad]

BRUCE IS GOD

[666MeBad]

too good

[serentochan]

The lead singer of this band once gave my science class a presentation about spontaneous combustion. IT WAS SO FUCKIN SWEET

[TVslapstick]

Three people are weak-eared faggots.

[MrBaroman123]

Maiden is Maiden since 1975 but metallica is metallica from 1981 to 1991.After 1991 Metallica is MTVallica...

[overture13]

I like this version more than the album version! the extra vocals make it a lot darker sounding!

Though, where you've written the lyrics as "burn on my son", I think it's actually "burn on the sun"

[MrMuschiato]

I prefer the other verion...anyway great song, one of the best of the Maiden

[Tellie57]

3 of Eddie's victims have infiltrated youtube

[GeorgePossessedMe]

maiden is awesome, so is metallica, they different types of metal, stop comparing them, they both have respect.

[jpac131]

Sure, the additional vocals are totally awesome, but they removed the lead guitar riff from the chorus wich was what I loved most about this song x(

[davidmumma66]

I think Iron Maiden is the largest band in metal that hasn't sold out. I mean i still haven't seen any iron maiden on tv, or anything more than a final frontier promo on the radio once.

[Poptartza]

@davidmumma66 lol search iron maiden MTV commercial 1991, it's kinda stupid but I got a little laugh out of it.

[davidmumma66]

@Poptartza :P one tv ad, but still, for probably the largest metal band (fan base is even strong in India of all places O.o ) they have an amazingly small amount of media coverage

[cjcookie]

the sound quality is more dynamic here than on the album

[Snagrit]

original is better, and it seems maiden thinks so too as this is the radio edit, and not the album version...

[666arockalypse]

i like this version loads but for me the extra vocals don't fit somehow :/

[suprsonickath]

Strange how it's Bruce Dickinson listed as music.

[TERRIBLEPRODUCTIONSS]

This version is really sick. Although the doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo in the chorous is missing- i don't like that.

[DragonballZsayian]

this version doesn't have the epic riff when Bruce says "your time will come" still awesome.

[Robbiedbee]

DON'T TURN DON'T RUN!

I'm usually a traditionalist, but the power in this line alone adds a dimension to this song that the original doesn't have.

[gonzalomaidenfan666]

Genial! no sabia que decian en el coro en la parte q agregaron...

Up The Irons!!!!!!!!!

[crocnote]

I remember when that song came out on radio !!! I love it... Buy the CD but not the same version... really love this version !

[bluecristal83]

I don't like this version, radio edit? Iron maiden, radio edit? is it a joke? absolutely not, I like the original version, Iron maiden can't be in a radio.

[tatozTheAimer]

I love the extra vocals makes a good song even better \m/!

[Flattsmak]

and slayer they suck really bad

[B94241]

Yeah, back when I first got into metal I listened to mostly Metallica and thought Slayer was "just noise" but after listening to more and more metal I started to appreciate the heavier/more aggressive stuff more (like Slayer and genres like death metal).

[Flattsmak]

i like the intro but i dont like stuff thats too fast like children of bodom their songs are just noise

[crazyguysmd]

right

[thelessworld]

First time the extra vocals were weird, but 3 times listening more, its getting cool :)

[djxdata]

3:29 really awesome , i didnt know iron maiden where so good i thought that they are some old rock band....but they really kick arse :P..for those who dont know...this is on vh1 commercial about vh1 rocks :D

[Rainmaker666]

I really like this version. The extra vocals are very cool!

[sophoney]

I also like the Bruce versions of , Clansman, Man on an edge, Futureal, and Sign of the cross. I think

Maiden should re issue Both blaze CD'S with Bruce on Vocals! Same with Killers, now that would rule all maiden CD's,Killers with Bruce?

[williamrussell19]

at least iron maiden hasnt sold out like metallica did

[raysind66]

@williamrussell19 what did they do?

[frankisfunny2007]

@williamrussell19 and how's that a bad thing? They sell out around the world (both bands)..... that's my point of view

[ironmaiden99999]

@frankisfunny2007 He means that Iron Maiden doesn't compromise, like taking money to promote pimple cream like Bruce has said, or altering in any way what Maiden is all about just to sell more records in North America for example. Maiden will always be Maiden. Fuck corporation.

[frankisfunny2007]

@ironmaiden99999 'tallica thought the word "sell out" meant selling every seat at every show.... that's what I thought too

[ironmaiden99999]

@frankisfunny2007 Metallica is still a kick ass band I should add, though I am not much of a Lars fan, lol.

[frankisfunny2007]

@ironmaiden99999 yeah, but you must admit, you must give him respect because he puts his heart out at every show

[ironmaiden99999]

@frankisfunny2007 True, but for personality, Lars and Nicko are leagues apart. I respect Lars as a musician but he is still a bit of a douche bag. He is so effing negative and pompous all the time. Nicko is the complete opposite. Who would you or anyone rather have a drink with?

[frankisfunny2007]

@ironmaiden99999 Nicko, because he's British, or English...whatever's the case, they can handle they're drinking.... Lars had a bit of a drinking problem.... Nicko didn't

[ironmaiden99999]

@frankisfunny2007 If that is the case, Lars is Danish, and should be able to handle his booze too, lol. Anyway, Maiden rules !!

[frankisfunny2007]

@ironmaiden99999 ya, whoever it was both are better.... I just prefer Maiden over Metallica anyday

[joeydestroyer]

@williamrussell19 I feel sorry for metal fanboys who think that thats the only good genre out there :/

[gnrguitar13]

Enough with the Metallica v. Maiden bullshit. Okay? They both kick arse.

Now...onto the song. I love the radio edit version. I don't understand why it's not on Brave New World.

[sophoney]

I am a life long Maiden fan from 1981 to now but as far as their last 3 cd's I could take some of the filler out of all three cd's and come up with 1 killer 12 song cd. any arguments?

[wrier]

I think there's more than 12 good songs on the last 3 albums...Just curious, which ones would you pick?

[sophoney]

My list of the best of the last 3 Maiden CD's, Wicker Man Ghost of the navigator Mercenary Montsegur Rain maker Out of the shadows Longest day Wildest dreams Dance of death Journey man Benjamin Breeg Age of innocence

[wrier]

I also enjoy Dream of Mirros, Blood Brothers, Brave New World, Paschendale, No More Lies, For the Greater Good of God, and tons...tons more...I'm a big Iron Maiden fanboy though, if Iron Maiden made a song that sounded like Britney Spears, I'd probably support it because I'm a blind Maiden fanboy. :P

[sophoney]

I thought about No more lies but, I feel like maiden was trying to hard to make a single .

[sophoney]

Does Nicko play a double kick pedal on this song? Same with Ghost of the Navigator? If not he is sick fast,and bare foot .

[IoAllegraAndCo]

Nicko Play the double kick pedal only in "Face in the Sand"

[agentcamo]

Now he played it on the opening of Satellite 15..The final Frontier also

But this is a new year

[johnthegreek178]

Nicko never used a double kick pedal, he said in an interview that it's undrummish.

[charliegrs]

@sophoney 99% of the time he plays a single pedal, single bass drum. Hes crazy fast with it, just check out the song caught somewhere in time and youll see what Im talking about

[DirtyBeastsBand]

@sophoney he is playing that with one foot on rock in rio dvd in two moments you can see that

[zionistsuck]

killer artwork.

[thqsuks]

iron maiden is the best but judas priest comes second judas is still playing and their in their 60s

[iamjesper]

the drumming is little different to! great version!

[mkultra138]

I love the radio edit myself! The "thy will be done" part just adds to it in my opinion. I wonder why they left it off?

[JazzyJawn]

I actually like the radio version better, the "thy will be done" extras really give it an edge. Up the irons!

[OzzO777]

Iron maiden Still owns Metallica.... That is a Absolute truth!

[dellothedrummer94]

Metallica? Is there a Paragon between Maiden and Metallica?!?!

Ahahahahahah

MAIDEN RULES!!!! THEY'RE THE BEST IN THE WORLD OF METAL_!_

[juandiego90]

haha i mistake it waas lord of light in matter of life and death, and who can tell me that for the greater god of god is not perfect too

[juandiego90]

stop you fuckin motherfuckers, maiden and metallica are different genres, and they are both the best of the best, you can not compare. probably metallica has more shitty songs now but listen to all nightmare long and the day that never comes in death magnetic. the same in maiden, lord of the flies. they have amazing songs, and the worst of them are great too so fuck yourselves and stop talking shit about maiden or metallica, they are both genius bands perfect and the best fuck you all dickheads.

[MaidenFanFromTexas]

i love all nightmare long but the instrumental is better

[Falippas]

and you know what? if maiden make a shit album it will pass on if metalluca make shit album it will go first and everyonw will talk about it so again YOU LOSE!

[darkshredder95]

@Falippas "if maiden make a shit album..."

maiden WONT make a shit album. never have and never will. :D

ok maybe virtual 11 was pretty bad but hey hey its still tolerable. i hate to say this but most of metallica's stuff from load to st.anger was pretty awful.

[Falippas]

shti album? people change you know...maiden plays the same thing for 30 years...metallica even changed their style and still kick ass...if load and reload are shit albums why do they play fuel and memory remains at every concert? ok st. anger is not that good but i like it..death magnetic?! killer album man! why do you want the old metallica? or are you to naive to understand that metallica are common people like you and me that changed over the years?

[TheLoneSergeant]

what the fuck are you on? You clearly don't have an understanding of Iron Maiden at all.

[Falippas]

yeah sure

[slashisgod875]

who gives a shit theyre both great fucking bands. end of. fucks sake

[IoAllegraAndCo]

are you Sure???

but iron maiden doesn't make a shit album...metallica make Load, Reload, St. Anger and Death Magnetic...metallica have my respect for ever but they LOSE!!!!

[MaidenFanFromTexas]

Up The Irons!!

[trickeyjamie]

@IoAllegraAndCo :L i agree, but i like Death Magnetic, only for Day that nevers comes and All nightmare long and St anger = WORST ALBUM EVER!

[trickeyjamie]

@IoAllegraAndCo i agree totally with the shit metallica albums, but i have to disagree with Death Magnetic! the vocals and solos on that album are great!

[SenorJuanDiablo]

@IoAllegraAndCo Actually, Maiden's career with Blayze Bailey was absolutely atrocious. But I've enjoyed almost everything they did with Bruce...which is good!

[Poptartza]

@SenorJuanDiablo X Factor was a great album, Virtual XI not so much Futureal and the Clansman were good, but that was about it. Blaze singing Dickinson Era stuff, terrible. Blaze singing his stuff and Dianno Era stuff, sounded great.

[davidmumma66]

@Poptartza XD oh and i looked it up, that was more of a PSA, so reminding people not to be stupid, doesn't really count towards selling out

[Poptartza]

@davidmumma66 I wasn't referencing the selling out part, just the part about you saying you hardly see any commercials with Maiden in it. Just throwing another one in. Any how Maiden's attitude toward music to epitome of how musicians should act.

[davidmumma66]

@Poptartza Ah misunderstanding, but yeah, they showed they're at least still in touch with their fan-base when they released the free mp3 of El Dorado and commissioned the final frontier video. Not to mention unlike metallicas last album (i regret owning that cd) it only was 3 dollars more for me to get a special edition of final frontier that included concept art, the music video, and a making of the album documentary which shows they have class and don't rip off their fans.

[dbvideoinc]

@Falippas you really think the black album is better than Piece of Mind? and that's just one album

[agentcamo]

Wtf are you talking about you must be some stupid fucking kid, Those albums are cheesy

MAIDEN FUCKING OWNS METALLICA

FUCK ANY BAND OWNS METALLICA

[Falippas]

metallica is better

[bulletforthetrooper]

my ass!!! load and reload VS. seventh son of a seventh son and piece of mind.... guess who wins?? Falippas is a douche!

[TheHollywoodV1]

It's a bit more poped out than the studio version (due to the changed chorus) but you usually have to be a bit poped out to get radio play. Still nice though.

[GrimySkull95]

I think they should get rid of the "Thy will be done" part, and keep the "Don't turn don't run" parts.

[humalis]

i far prefer this version. the backing vocals make the chorus seem less repetitive. would love a copy of this song!

[newfrontiers]

This is better than the album version. It's a damn shame they didn't put this version on the album- not that it would have made a huge difference either way, since Brave New World is probably the second-best album Maiden has ever made.

[MotorheadNL]

Album version without the ''Thy will be done''-part much is better, in my opinion!

[maidenlimburgia]

Awesome!

UP THE IRONS!!!

[pjhockey3]

love this song

[SharpieShades]
