Iron Maiden - Still Life

[luciabarstow]

Oh this was my favorite song..one summer I played this one and over..

[maikelmetal666]

Conchesumare, LA ESCUCHARE EN VIVO EL PROXIMO AÑO, salu2 desde chile.

[benmiesterralph]

this has to be the most exciting maiden song.

[absolute677]

For those that are not aware this is from "Children of the Pool" by H.P. Lovecraft as ara few other songs and a few from Metallica

[Beauxbesica66]

the first time I heard this song I thought the message sounded all ominous and stuff... and then I found out what nicko was really saying. haha. I still really love this song, it's one of my favorites by Iron Maiden <3

[ATeam192]

This is far and away my favorite Maiden song, and in my opinion Bruce's best vocal. Love the dynamics. 

[IronA7X]

Sorry,it's in 4.48

[OneEyedJack1970]

@IronA7X Yeah. I've always considered that part of the song.

[IronA7X]

Does anyone hear that man saying "yeah" at the end of the song? Strange...It starts 4.50,it's very quiet. : 0

[ATeam192]

@IronA7X yeah that was either the sound engineer, or producer in the control room. Guess he liked what heard...who wouldn't?

[mrpetergunner]

@IronA7X It's like: FUCK YEAH, WE DID IT !

[czw321]

Wasn't the message Do not meddle with things you don't understand?

[OneEyedJack1970]

@czw321 Yeah, that's the end of it (or the beginning, backwards, I suppose). It's Nicko McBrain drunk, doing a bad Idi Amin impression. I think the other part goes "What ho said the ting wit the tree bonks," which is like "hey, said the thing with the three heads."

[czw321]

@OneEyedJack1970 Not 100% sure, Nicko always finds a way to make his voice heard on albums. On Losfer Words and Wildest Dreams he does the 1,2,3,4 count and Thin Line Between Love and Hate he says "Fuck I fucking missed it".

[deliciousmorton]

ALL BRAINS ARE GOOD TO EAT is the message (in backwards french) at the beginning of the song.

[sammy2trees]

@deliciousmorton I was just going to run it through sony vegas and reverse the audio. Thanks for spoiling it for me!!

[ATeam192]

@deliciousmorton I always wondered what the hek that was about. I'm not at all disappointed :)

[raed666n]

best song on album

[donneric]

this album has had to influence power metal I wager this is the first power metal album

[KLORIENTA]

The talent of this band cannot be matched! This is why they have had such a long career and are still at it! I first fell in love with the music between 25 and 30 years ago and still love it today! Its been 7 months since I last saw them live and can't wait to see them again!

[wratchild114]

@KLORIENTA UP THE IRONS!!!!!!

[fearedlegend]

@KLORIENTA YOU ARE SO RIGHT .THE TALENT OF THIS BAND IS BEYOND WORDS.BY FAR THE BEST OF ALL TIME.

[23chopperrob]

Maiden songs only get better with age!

[jefaslb]

@23chopperrob there are like wine XD

The older the better XDDD

But the new albuns also kicks ass

[straightme1]

I LOVE EDDIE

[AvocadoRogue]

Up the Irons from Ventura California!

[dipshit776]

Me and my girl,are still here.We have two beutiful children,that can,t stand us,when we listen to this song,Don't take the devils hand,take your parents will All Go together.O.M.G My Parents are nuts,Question Is Are We?

[dipinprint]

@dipshit776 hell now your kids just dont know good music im going to be 21 in feb and my little girl and wife cant stand this type of music but me and my little boy love this kind of music, im just a metal head an will always be till the day i die.

[VitalSigns1]

What I've just realized about this band is that some of their stuff isn't all that impressive at first, but after listening to 2 or 3 songs in a row I start to get really addicted and want to hear more and more

[98MaelyS]

My favorite iron maiden song is just AWESOME!

[GMVeiga]

Nicko´s voice...

do not mess with what you do not know...

[Jaypiracy]

Steve Harris writes most of everything. The man is a god among mortals! Up The Irons!

[outofmyfolkingmind]

Dave Murray = Guitar God

[NIGHTOFHATE78]

i seen maiden on piece of mind,i think it was 83

[65jackstraw95]

I saw them powerslave-twice, somewhere in tme, fear of the dark,oz fest, somewhere back in time tour, and the final frontier all i can say is 1 word awesome, fucking awesome up the irons!!

[bonillaortiz]

man bruce dickinson is one of the top 5 rock singers ever, anybody notice how on that will ferrell cowbell sketch chris walken's name was bruce dickinson and the joke was he was a nobody? lol if they only knew

[SlyzCooper]

@bonillaortiz For me Ian Gillan from Deep Purple is number one man.

[twilightdagger]

@bonillaortiz The production engineer of the Blue Oyster Cult re-issue/greatest hits CD's was also named Bruce Dickenson. He's not the same Brucie from Maiden that we love. The guys from SNL thought Bruce Dickenson produced the original albums as opposed to Sandy Pearlman who actually did. 

[Perrasfilmer]

4:51 "yeah" lol

[slitherlock]

snobies ganis gitty zoon kolf....yeesh yeesh.

[desertfunk74]

I was still in elementary school when I got Piece of Mind and then Powerslave. Iron Maiden is and always will be classic heavy metal at its best! I also had the door sized poster for Powerslave back in 84!

[TheCopperchopper]

@desertfunk74 I was in elementary school and a kid brought quiet riot, metal health to school. we were in like first or second grade singin come on feel the noise, girls drop ya draws.

[Metal4902]

What ho sed de t'ing wid de t'ree bonce...Don't meddle wid t'ings you don't understand (This is what Nicko said at the beginning)

-------

In 1983 Iron Maiden popped a backwards message at the beginning of the song "Still Life" on their album "Piece of Mind". It was in response to them being accused of being Satanists; a very drunk drummer (Nikko McBrain) gave his Idi Amin impression and belched into a microphone; this was duly backmasked and incorporated into the album to excite the Christians!

[bonillaortiz]

@Metal4902 interesting, hot on the heels of the whole scandal where those kids killed each other cuz judas priest songs told em to? or was that after?

[Metal4902]

@bonillaortiz I'm not exactly sure when it happened.

[666Kaca]

@bonillaortiz piece of mind was released in 1983. and that gunshot incident happened in 1985.They probably put this because of accusations by christians that metal holds subliminal messages :)

[justhuman1235]

awsome song

[TheLonndogg]

this song goes in my 100 year time capsule it has it all rifs lyrics meaning maiden fan for life!!!

[Thrills2010]

This is my favorite song....Offa this album

[cathy8267]

This song is awesome

[UnivegaSuperSport]

Notice how you can understand every word Dickensen sings. When a singer can do that and still rip it, Dickensen, Dio, Tate, it sets you apart.

[guillotinedeath]

gonna learn this on guitar RIGHT NOW THIS MOMENT 

[buddzilla]

@Shelley9000 But what? Bruce is much better than Paul D'ianno >.<

[RafaGeass]

@buddzilla Actually, bruce's first name is Paul xD

[Metal4902]

@RafaGeass Or not -.-'

[RafaGeass]

@Metal4902 No, Bruce's name is Paul Bruce Dickinson. :D

[Metal4902]

@RafaGeass O sry i I haven't read good...I thought that you think on Paul Di'anno xD

[technoterminator]

@RafaGeass nick name is Air Raid Siren

[shelley9000]

I'm a Paul girl.  BUT................

[TheCh41]

Now that I saw Lord of the Rings, this song reminds me of the part where Frodo is looking in the water in the swamp, then he goes in.

[thirty2ncountin]

Drink a beer and up the mother fucking Irons. \m/

[HomicidaThrash]

...Buuurp Dnatsrednu tnod uoy sgniht diw elddem tnoooood, Ecnob eert ed diw gnit ed des oh tahw. hmhmhmhm....

[DamjanOst91]

[TheCozybear65]

[TopGun8993]

@TheCozybear65 - I hear you old timer, I was (am) a huge Maiden fan. I saw them twice, Wasted Years and Seventh Son tours. My parents wouldn't let me go to anything earlier (Powerslave, Piece of Mind, Number of the Beast, ect.) Rock on brother!!!

[TheCozybear65]

@TopGun8993 those were awesome tours you saw.. Iron Maiden is serious Metal.. Them and Priest..Fuck!

[XxMephestoxX]

My God.... I love this song....

[dreadss64]

God this song ahhh makes me sad. but man soo good

[INTOtheVOID11]

The chorus is so catchy, Maiden always had hooks up the ass.

[001maiden]

My favorite song from Piece of Mind,but its right next to TheTrooper:P

[TheKrammer12]

@001maiden SAME HERE BROTHER :D

[Sangrenegra9]

Turn up the volume right at the end, after the last note finishes playing, and you can hear Nicko: "Yeah! That was fucking great!"

[TheThingsilove100]

[Drink14You]
