Iron Maiden - The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Full Length

[OwlinAMinor]

And I thought Iron Maiden couldn't get any more awesome ...

[ironAce619]

5;10 is where the magic starts..literally

[SkyPiercers]

Oh god, the part at 5:10 is orgasmic to listen to.

[squatchwatcher2]

@SkyPiercers metalgasmic

[chere2244]

only 13:42 minutes?

[ChubbyGregLord]

@chere2244 Wow. Accustomed to songs with lengths of 13 minutes? Dream Theater much? Good. Me too.

[metalsquirrelgamer]

someone please attempt a drum cover to this song.

[purity778]

mother fucker, being born in 1995 sucks. at least with internet we have easier access to the 70's and 80's and all its awesomeness

[kjer0nanny0slut]

@purity778 Couldn't agree with you more. Missing out great bands like death and the glory days of bands such as slayer, megadeth and of course maiden!

[purity778]

@kjer0nanny0slut fuck man, i love MEGADETH and unfortunately i missed them live :( i love the majority of their albums, though! and death is a fucking sick band :D so is slayer \m/>.<\m/

[SepticArtPRODUCTIONS]

Now this is pure metal! Not the weak, flimsy bullshit imported from Disney bullshit.

[dickram227]

aug.15...san antonio ....YEAHHHH!!!!!

[loquendogrone]

MTV must pass this songs again instead of that ¿bands?

this is the fucking good metal

thumb up if you think like me

[LightDarkZero]

@loquendogrone Or return to more Music schedules instead of reality TV shows -_-. And yes, I agree with you.

[hellion741]

never want the sea take my soul



[dje29490]

My favorite Maiden song. Saw it live & it was fuckin' awesome !!!

[MetallicAddict15]

Hehe... Seamen.

[TheNecroluster]

No matter what kind of metal you prefer, Maiden unites us all as headbangers. They are like a warm, awesome bar where everyone meets up and drink beer and sing all night long! Hell Yeah!

[arctictimberwolf]

[ximenezbecerra]

la mejor cancion de iron maiden

[schmaggle]

This song takes me back to the early 80's running around the neighborhood in my levi jacket, walkman in pocket, chamber pipe, mullet, and the smell of Brut to try and cover up the smell. This album was one of my all time favorites.

[tzmueller]

Maiden ROCKS!!!!

[staunton01]

This has to be the coolest song of all time.

[vlo85]

Anyone else here from the UK find it strange seeing an American saying "up the irons"... do you think they actually know who the "Irons" are?! GO LA GALAXY!

[Maidennumber1forever]

@vlo85

Yes, there are Americans who know who Maiden is, me being one of them. So don't start saying how it's strange that Americans are saying "Up the Irons". And you know what? UP THE IRONS!

[vlo85]

@Maidennumber1forever Lmfao, you've just proved my point, that infact, you have no idea who The Irons are!!! 'Irons' gives reference to their favourite football team... West Ham United - who are known as The Irons. Thanks for proving my point.

[TheNecroluster]

@vlo85 Are you a troll or something?

[vlo85]

@TheNecroluster No, was just wondering if Americans actually know who 'The Irons' are and where it comes from. Clearly they don't (see comment below). The Irons are Iron Maidens favourite football (soccer to you) team, West Ham United, who are known as, you guessed it, The Irons.

[THISISYOUTUUUUUUUUBE]

@vlo85 Actually, as far as i'm aware, it's only Harris'.

Janick, for example, supports Hartlepool and Newcastle.

If i'm wrong, so be it.

[Zeta9966]

If only the video would load for me... I would have an awesome comment.

[MrCapeters]

culture and heavy metal!! One in the eye for the academics!!!!

[MrLedzeppelinfan33]

this song completely destroys master of puppets

[TheGaMeRZ69]

On a reel guitar this song is a bit hard for me, but on an air guitar I'm so fucking pro!!!!! \m/_

[Wrestlingthemeremix]

7:36 <3

[MrNovokmet]

the best 13 minutes,I've spent in a long time.what tale,what a lesson

[PoisonBlade415]

@MrNovokmet more like 14 minutes...

[MrNovokmet]

@PoisonBlade415 even better :)

[PoisonBlade415]

You can't beat a song like this...

[Archivioinutile]

Find a fucking mistake in this song...one only!

[metalprinc]

@Archivioinutile

which

[Archivioinutile]

@metalprinc

NONE!!!!

[MrRoker1981]

@Archivioinutile

[steven2405]

Now this is what I call a song!

[ShadrachWTF]

UP THE IRONS. This is a beautiful song, based on a beautiful poem. I'll never not like hearing this fantastic rendition of Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.

[MrCaptainMetal]

"This is what not to do, if a bird shits on you." - Bruce Dickinson

[HeavyMetal707]

IRON MAIDEN. Does anything else REALLY need to be said?

[metal66674]

This is the greatest song EVER-goddamn I love this song!!!!!!

[remotenightowl]

Happy Singles Awareness Day!

[Mirrodin82]

[PETESEYESBLUE]

Too all the men at sea play this song and it's full version will get u home Excellent Download Nice to know their is an EASY CLICK mouse VOILA. on the seventh day man created THE IRONS

[BellaCullen0016]

The best thing about Iron Maiden. They sing of who we once were, in a historical kind of way. All history and myths and amazing music. <3 Iron Maiden

[murilohumbertocmcb]

08:52 - 09:08 "Children of the Grave" moment.

[jonasonico]

awesome song.

[rustynail2561]

still my favorite Maiden song!!!!

[Killface44]

if the teacher had just played this song in high school people would have stayed awake

[jawzmuzik]

finally the whole thing in one place. 

[X0ia]

I did my mythology class final on the poem and used this as a modern connection.

They time limit was 5-7 minutes. I was at 11:50 when i ended, after cutting down on info.

I would've made the song length if not for having to cut down.

I got an A on the final project, btw.

[therehastobeme]

Great Song From The Powerslave Album

[PrincessHaleyEve]

i fell in love w/ this song when my eng teacher played it for us in the class because he thought it might be more fun to hear it then to have to read it =D

[IAmebAdger]

for some reason i spent alot of time looking for "iron maiden - the old man and the sea", when it was really called "iron maiden - the rime of the ancient mariner" ...

finally found it using "iron maiden longest song"

[TheNethero]

Let us take a moment of silence for the 26 unfortunate souls that were crushed under the awesomeness of this song.

[deathpunx13]

who still makes music like this now adays??? legendary tune

[hotvii]

I cannot say I am the biggest fan, but I have to say this made my younghood. Listen through my teenager time. Thank yoy Bruce and gyus.

[Weissmenchland]

Old Samuel Taylor Coleridge would be proud!!

[ironmaidentrooper1]

haha today in class i was reading this, and the "day after day" and "one after one by the star dogged moon" parts, all were sung in my head XD

[MrGOTAMA420]

this is the apex of english metal.

[737sunset]

1985. I bought "Live After Death". I played it until the tape died. First time I ever got drunk was to that album, ... and this song : )

[totalbrootal]

today in my english class after reading the poem we listened to this, a lot of people were really happy

[SoniQ89]

Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Rime of the Ancient Mariner; Pretty good

Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner; Perfect

[SuperMrONeill]

I just had to write a paper on this story. I hated reading it, I hate my professor because she's pretentious and is very boring. It shows the power of a band when they can take something as boring and all over the place as this story and make it fucking awesome with music. UP THE IRONS!

[LHFsample]

10:12, man that is maiden, love these guys, I bought this as a kid when life was all BMX and party, still listen to them today.

[remotenightowl]

I have one thing to say for 500,000 views, Thank God, I feel like a youtube celebrity! Nah, but it's nice to know that so many people can connect with one song, and with thatt, I say thank you to all my viewers, now, to a million!

[smithdsmit]

@remotenightowl I seen them play this live 5th row center in milwaukee wisconsin Dec 19th 1984 Mecca Arena.It was killer. whole show just rocked start to finish but although i really like this song.It's not my favorite Maiden tune. But it was my favorite one they played that night. to see them to this live was f*cking epic. the guitar solos went on and on.It just totally rocked.Twisted sister opened for them.Maiden made them look silly

[kwagmyrefrontman]

@smithdsmit That's because Twisted Sister blows.

[PETESEYESBLUE]

@smithdsmit Agreed i seen them in Michigan in 92 It was the Fear Of The Dark tour the shirts were so cool as with Twisted Sister they sucked big time.A cool concert would be Maiden,Priest,Sabbath bak in the early eighties.The heavy metal bands are still some Chick with dicks shit the makeup and fag clothing.Not like the three i mentioned the only makeup would be visine for the eyes.I will never waiver from the true heavy rock from the past,This is a long journey home tune.Maiden Canada

[Skiptracer1981]

25 people shot the albatross

[slurve41]

I remember when this album came out in '84. I came home late half drunk and turned the radio on and they played THIS song. This was the first song I heard from Powerslave and it's still my favorite track on the record. When was the last time you heard an almost fourteen minute song on the radio? This was back when radio was still good. UP THE IRONS!!

[karatechimp1]

07 min .36 sec.. The greatest moment in musical history ? Discuss.

[SlendermanAddict]

@karatechimp1 no

[Xaxaar]

@karatechimp1 That's not even the greatest moment in this song...and besides, greatest moment for musical history goes to the climax of The Manifold Curiosity by Kayo Dot.

[mrsfabo]

i love this song!!! aguante argentina!!!

[fishcanplaytheguitar]

That whole section from like 6min to like 9min its sick as fuck

[TheDrunkenHer0]

If you run out of gas...

Maiden will get you there...

[xXbishonenXx]

Is a good day when use this song in your classical guitar class ahahaa

[rstack9]

the albatross shat on 24 people

[50TNCSA]

24 people shot the albatross

[PoisonBlade415]

You all are a bunch of fucking noobs.how can you notremember this poe i high school?

[jsjohn2]

@PoisonBlade415

that would be Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

careful who you are calling a noob.

[kirkblackheart]

@jsjohn2 Think he just typoed "poem". Don't think he thought Poe wrote this. But UP THE COLERIDGE AND UP THE IRONS!

[kholt1776]

I kicked ass in my Brit Lit class because of this

[MrTopo2]

WATCH OUT!!!

 MUSIC ORGASM!!!!!

[am2boni]

Yes, I believe that Jesus does enjoy this tune! A pure classic!!!

[causeandeffect81]

I find musical epics to be cyclical. Some musicians understood this, and created master pieces. Stairway to Heaven also comes to mind.

[LastTimeYouWill]

Is it me, or does this sound quite a bit like hallowed be thy name?

[LeroleroNicky]

Me emociona escuchar esta canción, no sé porque...

[jtgoheels]

Bruce pwns Blaze and Paul, although Iron Maiden's first two albums were good, but Bruce comes along and a God is born

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

Ugggh. Why must there be so many people bagging Di'Anno and Blaze. They're BOTH good. Not AS good, still good. And ffs, to those who say Di'Anno has nothing on Bruce, but Bruce can't touch Phantom of the Opera. That alone makes Di'Anno amazing.

[DeathMetalSavior]

@DeathMetalorgetjized Blaze is REALLY bad... The Trooper live with Blaze is terrible x.x

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@DeathMetalSavior ..The Trooper? But...

No comment. xD

Still, I rather like some songs on his albums... Each to his own? I like all 3 for different reasons, if you don't? Who am I to say?

[DeathMetalSavior]

@DeathMetalorgetjized Paul used to be amazing... but he's not that good anymore in my opinion.

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@DeathMetalSavior Phantom of the Opera in the 80s... That's Pauls Golden Age...

[dickram227]

when i was in high school ..instead of reading the story ...our teacher handed out the lyrics then played the song for the class....i think it was the only time the metalheads got a better grade than the geeks

[ilovechalee]

@dickram227

Hah. my teacher did the same thing, but he also did it with Murders in the Rue Morgue.

[SteveKardnyal]

@dickram227 nice playlist, lmao

[MrBabadax]

@dickram227 Cool story. I was out of school and serving in Germany in 1982-84 and I went to a concert I believe it was called oh yeah... The Monsters of Rock! There I heard Run to the Hills and Number of the Beast in concert. All I can say is "Iron Maiden ruled Europe" Rock On from B.A.Badax

[smithdsmit]

@dickram227 wow thats cool that your teacher played this for the class.makes me feel old.Well, I am old.I seen maiden on the powerslave tour in 1984. I was 18 at the time. it was great

[dickram227]

@smithdsmit back in 84 ..i was just 7yrs old but i saw maiden when they did the reunion tour when Bruce rejoined the band...that was an amazing fukin show....i don't think it can compare to the original powerslave tour but people that were there said it was close...what a great nite

[smithdsmit]

@dickram227 I bet it was a great show.iron maiden may be older. but they have held up.Dickenson still sounds great and the rest of the band have proably gotten better.Only thing proably better in 84 then now is the fact that you could party more without getting busted and the band ran around on stage alot more.But i think they still sound great.I hope i get a chance to see them again.doesnt seem like they play the states much anymore

[skullkid73]

@dickram227 hey me toooo

[bullza001rocka]

@dickram227 Dammit, I wish I had done it not too long ago!

[aKieKaka]

OMG.. That part 08:45 after really makes me cum all over.

[themuppetman9]

i wonder how many people who like this song have actually read the poem that its based off of?

[impalass6519]

@themuppetman9 whats the poem??

[themuppetman9]

@impalass6519 The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

[kerickwalters]

@themuppetman9 this cat has

[kryptex777]

@420SHUKLA420 Hahaha !! Nice ;)

[DavePolenta]

24 fags don't like the mariner's tales

[nihilus17]

the band that makes me cry everytime i hear their song... pure joy and happiness...

[7shadowking]

Τι τραγουδάρα είναι αυτή...

[warewolf1111]

Jesus Thank You For Give Earth This Band :D

[kencruga14]

Incluso Jesús ama a esta canción.

[hvasnielsen]

Great concert in Denmark in 2008 :)

[GT672]

Up the maides!" i l ove Iron Maiden since 1990, at 16 years old...

[MetalUpYourAss6667]

Cannot go a day without listening to Iron Maiden! 

[TAGMATAGMATON]

Greeks are world's most ancient and famous mariners. Odysseus represents all the skillfull and daring seamen since the begining of mankind

[dannylk777]

BRUCE DICKINSON WAS THE VERY BEST VOCALIST OF THE MAIDEN.. HE WAS THE FUCKIN MAN ....

[nestcanz]

Listening to Maiden for year, but somehow this song been evading me for a long time, even here on youtube. Finally I clicked... great

[potcheese1]

HOW CAN SHE SAIL WITH NO WIND IN HER SAIL AND NO TIDE

[PoisonBlade415]

@potcheese1 the albatross is making her sail, dude. It's the curse. c'mon, its in the freakin poem for crying out loud. How can you people love this song not even knowing what it's based off of??

[potcheese1]

@PoisonBlade415 I was just saying my favorite lyrics, not posing a challenge.

[Nukillis2]

@PoisonBlade415 lol you

[Silverone43]

I remember when i was in my AP Literature class Senior year we read the poem and my teacher handed us some worksheets and other papers and one of them had the lyrics to this song on it and we got to listen to it..best class ever.

[thenovascotian1]

mooo

[TheRickc67]

PLAYED THIS SONG RIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN / EIGHTIES HEAVY METAL MOST RIGHTOUS!!!

[bobcat521]

About time we had the full version on here....Nice one!

[zackterry1]

thumbs up if that evil laugh at 6:30 kinda creeped you out..

[kholt1776]

one of the most cultured bands

[IgnacioBuenosnachos]

Even Jesus loves this song.

[remotenightowl]

@IgnacioBuenosnachos, I would most definitely agree with you there. :)

[dunstengreen]

@IgnacioBuenosnachos well of course jesus loves this song...he jams 2 it everyday-if he didnt he wouldnt be jesus! lol right on i totally agree with you

[jiggeroni]

@IgnacioBuenosnachos ; I too concur

[TheGizmo987]

@IgnacioBuenosnachos

Seen these guys when i was 16, i'm now 43, still , love their music more thant ever.

[blazinxsaddles21]

when this came out ,the whole sky turned to the album cover on greatful dead acid

[obhunter]

I like the part from 0:00-13:42!

[IgnacioBuenosnachos]

@obhunter HA! Goofball.

[bleachatchatpark]

I still get goosebumps whenever i hear Bruce's scream. It's amazing. Ilove this song.

[viewer332]

and a pilot!!!

[zepprocksyea1]

i see this all the time, unless you have years and years of listening to rock music and to hundreds of bands. You don't know what you are talking about.

[Maddog3060]

Thirteen and a half minutes of ass-kicking metal. F**k yeah. \m/

[HukaTV]

8:50 Orgasm

[deilton67]

de buk is de teibou

[letsgo4itynot]

your full of shit.......

[Cablev94]

Why do people have to pick bands over others. I love Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura, Testament, Pantera, Mastodon, Hammerfall, DragonForce, Rhapsody of Fire. They are all great. Its music just listen to it if you like it. If you don't then stfu.

[remotenightowl]

So, thought of another Maiden question for u guys. Would it be cool if Maiden did a tour with all of there past lead singers, and then during the set, have each singer only sing the songs they where a part of during the set, let me know what u think...

[maxwellkos]

@remotenightowl i like it it would be a great chance for people who got into maiden late to hear the old singers

[Daslatcher]

@remotenightowl No, Blaze was horrible for Maiden and Paul sounds awful now, plus his personality sucks, drinking, drugs, etc.

[Tjpabyss]

@remotenightowl what would be better is if they all had different verses they did 0.0 so its madden mayhem

[Tjpabyss]

@Tjpabyss maiden*

[alexisbutcher]

@remotenightowl hahaha you made me think....

[BlackToothMetal]

@remotenightowl

Dont think that would be a good idea because i'm pretty sure Paul Dianno is in jail for tax evasion and Blaze Baley just plain sucked

[remotenightowl]

@BlackToothMetal, actually, he got out for "good behavior"... go figure >_>

[comango458]

@BlackToothMetal I don't think Blaze was as bad as he's made out to be, his singing wasn't that bad on the songs he helped do, but he just couldn't do Bruces' songs justice. If Blaze had come before Bruce he would be looked at the same way Paul is.
