      If I'm not mistaken, he wrote it because after the 2 years Slavery Tour, he had forgotten his own house and he went in a wrong one 😮

    Played this song for my wife and she couldn’t believe this was a metal song. I said this is what I love about people that LOVE music is they can take song that people would never listen to because of a “genre” and “reinvent it” and open people’s eyes to a great song that they might not be open to listening to before. Absolutely ❤ this version of this Iron Maiden song.

    Can´t understand the hatred of some folks. I am a die-hard metalhead since I can think, been to hard and heavy concerts for almost two decades and will do so in the next decades to come - still renditions like these are amazing: They are honouring not only the legendary Iron Maiden but also music as such. Because music is supposed to make this weird and twisted world we share a little better.
    Up the irons to Mr. Zumback! Thanks so much for sharing this.

    Profound to the one who hears and the one who can see, the power of a word combined together to create a message, it's only wasted years depending on how deep you want to travel back with yourself through ones vision, if you travel back 1million years ago would it be wasted years if you could do it within a second of a decimal of time?? What is time?? It's the distance between you and I, which is space, so not wasted years wasted space is what we are really talking about if you dive deeper to within ones Spirit., I appreciate this song.

    Wased years!
    Lyrics :
    One, two, three-
    From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
    Travelin' on, far and wide
    But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself
    And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else
    I close my eyes and I think of home
    Another city goes by in the night
    Ain't it funny how it is? You never miss it til' it's gone away
    And my heart is lying there, will be 'til my dying day, Adrian!
    So understand
    Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
    Face up, make your stand
    Realize you're living in the golden years
    Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
    Can't ease this pain so easily
    When you can't find the words to say, hard to make it through another day
    And it makes me wanna cry, throw my hands up to the sky
    So understand
    Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
    Face up, make your stand
    Realize you're living in the golden years, hey!
    So understand, Adrian!
    Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
    Face up, make your stand
    Realize you're living in the golden years
    So understand
    Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
    Face up, make your stand
    Realize you're living in the golden years, hey

    Been listening to Iron Maiden since high school, so around 25 years or so. Many times, bands like that write some really profound songs that sort of disappear in the tempo and energy of it all, especially the live versions. This was beyond brilliant; it really lends the lyrics the emotional weight they always held, helped by your brilliant composition and voice. Outstanding cover!

    I´ve listened to acoustic covers of Wasted Years (like the one that Ryan Adams did long ago) but you can tell Ian knows and respect the original, because he didn´t change the vocal melody so much as the others did and he also sings it with passion, beautifully. Congrats for this awesome rendition of one of my favourite Maiden tracks!

    I am a crazy crazy DIE-HARD fan of Maiden and have had the absolute honour of covering many of their songs in my career and have had the absolute pleasure of watching Iron maiden LIVE on no less than 4 occassions.That said, I have yet to hear a rendition of one of Maiden's biggest songs done in such a soulful and honest way. Mr Zumback you have done yourself and Iron Maiden proud. I wish you nothing but success for your future in music. If Brucie were to hear this version, I'm pretty darn sure he would want to record it.Salutations from Melbourne, Australia.

    It is also my favorite song from Maiden. One of the most underrated, also I connect with the song and with Ian exactly like this: "Ian says “the song meant a lot to me during a particular season of life. The message of the song is powerful. It’s ok to learn from the past but it’s not healthy to get stuck in it"
