Up the Irons from Quebec \o/

[1990guitarmaniac]

what does this song talk about?



[DaftHash]

@1990guitarmaniac It's actually an poem. Iron maiden decided to make it into a song, a fuckin brilliant song.

[1990guitarmaniac]

@DaftHash thanks

[TeamMuffinFTW1]

5:00 is trippy.....

[Tholtfan]

heres my opinion, LOVE the music, just cant get over his voice

[wwejheaton]

THANK YOU!!! SO MUCH!!!!

[lasoogneypubes]

Man they summarized the poem and the song is still really long lol.

[TeamMuffinFTW1]

@lasoogneypubes Mainly lots of instrumental bits that make it so long.

[GeoMak666]

I bow to the awesomeness of Iron Maiden. Great work uploader. Spread the word of metal around the world \m/

[jules90254]

[thedeathnight]

In the words of Bruce Dickinson 'Here's a song about what not to do if a bird shits on you' XD

[MrRoc71]

UP THE IRONS from new mexice

[scriberox1996]

damn its seriously helping me wid my schoolwork all the para phraising and other stuff .all ive got to do is listen to the lyrics carefully. my parents cant stop me it gives me an excuse to listen to iron maiden while doing my homework....

[bigchickenfu]

Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea !

[chinaman696]

11:11...semen...teehee

[frederickharttt]

Great work on the lyrics and the music quality. F*CK CUTE SONGS!

[Shiny41]

I REALLY don't get why people keep discriminating Maiden. I mean, while they listen some cute love songs with cute lyrics, this fucking band took a poem and turned it into a 13 minutes song !

If this don't deserve respect and doesn't mean they're beast, nothing else does.

[HAYDOS333]

the two people that disliked this video must have been blind :)

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@HAYDOS333 Deaf? I can like this without seeing it...

[Bakazuraz]

Reason #57 of why Metal is great. Song can be about something, such as great pieces of literature - you can learn something AND hear a great story. When's the last time you've listened to a rap or a pop song about "The Odyssey?"

[16inyourplaybooks]

@guitdude09 I actually thought thats what they said!!!!!!!

[BellethielDaugon]

Around the 5 minute mark.... ;3; That's just beautiful. Then that talking part...

This is wonderful....

[Rindingal]

damn i just realized how long this song was i just never really cared cause its a damn good song!

[RebelButane]

I'm writing my research paper based on this song and comparing it to Coleridge's "Rime". This is probably the most fun I've had on a paper, hands down!

[dxx24]

iron maiden helped me top the class i am eternally great ful to this super fucking awesome band i cant decide betn acdc and irn maiden plz help somebody

[IRONMAIDENGIBSON]

up the irons from new zealand

[koaguilds]

I remember the day this gem came out!!!!! The prime of my teenage head banging youth ( I was 17), an Earth Dog to the core!!! My 21 year old girlfriend and I were drinking and making out at the neighborhood elementary school and we got caught by the cops!!! While they were talking to us getting ready to search us I threw my big bag of weed under their car and they never caught on!! LOL I picked it up after they drove off and went on our merry way to listen to Powerslave all night and have wild..

[TheRisingforce2000]

an albatros ia a giant seagull and a sign of fair weather and smooth sailing, if you kill one some bad shit will happen , thats the moral to the story

[Spookiluis]

i can garuntee it that 1000 of these views are mine

[GuruFrancesco]

Now, if only the Iliad and the Odyssey could be made into a song

[Bakazuraz]

@GuruFrancesco Actually, there are. The band progressive Metal band Symphony X has a 24-minute epic called "The Odyssey." I highly recommend it :D

[Smeckydane]

I like the live version from "Live After Death" better. But the song is still one of the best Maiden have ever made!

Up the Irons from Scandinavia!

[Michaelrsss911]

Best song bro.

[lightofsilmaril]

My favorite Iron Maiden song!!!!! EPIC!!!

[linkingiamba93]

Iron up for Coleridge and Wordsworth XD by an Italian student :P

[XDKX101]

Damn volume wont go higher...

[Toasty667]

A work of pure fucking genious. Who else could write the lyrics to fit such a complicated song? Up the fucking Irons!!!

[MasterSh4ke]

@Toasty667 They are really just words from the story of the same name in a song.

[nightwish1ify]

[samj5664]

For those wondering the significance of a albatross their a symbol of the Christian soul, killing one will take you up shit creak if your superstitious or religious. Fishermen have been known to cut their nets up in order to save a trapped albatross!

[charlespippins76]

@samj5664 While allusions to Christ are made, before Christianity Seabirds were an omen of good fortune for a couple of reasons. First they glide on the wind that filled the sails, that moved the boat. Second, when game fish fed on bait fish, the birds would feed on the bait fish that balled to the top of the water, letting fisherman know where to cast their nets at.

[yourmaker74]

can play this song on bass, 13 minutes of awesome

[TheShadowAnakin]

holy crap, you saved my life!

[sporedeluxe301]

@TheShadowAnakin You sir are Winning

[DaftHash]

@TheShadowAnakin lol ya same! I was in English class and My teacher was talking about the poem and he was like anyone know who iron maiden is? and I was like up the irons!

[dancerelleny]

I read Rime of the Ancient Mariner in my AP Literature class! It's a great poem, and this is definitely a great song!

[mexiryan]

@dancerelleny In my senior English class in high school, we read this poem and listened to the song. I don't really like poems but this one is awesome!

[dancerelleny]

@mexiryan Yea, the symbolism is what makes it!

[hiccup333]

@mexiryan we did too!! aha

[m82a1light50cal]

@mexiryan Hahaha that's so funny, we just listened to this in class not even two weeks ago

[mexiryan]

@m82a1light50cal What was cool about that is that I was the reason we read it in class. I asked the bitch of a teacher I had if we could read it in class and she said yes. Then I told her about this song, that it was based off the poem. I made a copy of the song and we listened to it in class. That was cool.

[2kiara2k]

@dancerelleny really it is!!=) my english teacher has raccomanded it=)we have read the poem in theese days!!=)

[kiry988]

Love love love love this song!!!!

[MegaMetalfire]

[mexiryan]

@MegaMetalfire Hell yeah! This is probably one of their best songs if not THE best song they've ever done. UP THE IRONS!!
