[Verse 1] Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom the stab in the back Women and children are cowards attack [Chorus] Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives [Verse 2] Soldier blue in the barren wastes Hunting and killing's a game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Injuns are tame Selling them whiskey and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old [Chorus] Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives
Don't apologize. For what I am today, is the product of perception. Via ...Cherokee insemination & 10 other nations I was not privy too. Question?: Did you kill the Clovis & the other tribes around you for fun or folly?. What is "Indigenous?" Only fools & Badgers fall for this. Good for you, and please....unfuck your children. Earthling.
Good to hear. The power of this band has always been in making epic songs with a story attached. Never any fluff. I used to think that this song was all about the native American perspective. It was years later that I discovered that it's from the perspective of both sides.
Fellow Native American here. Love this band. What a great lesson of the Native American history this band told during that era. What a message for this era now as well, eh?
En particular, uno de esos temazos de rock and roll que se mastican por su plasticidad, como el rock de la cárcel, Highway Star, Ballroom blitz, etc. Todos los instrumentos parecen haberse vestido para la ocasión.
You do know this song condemns AmeriKKKa Imperialism, just found it ironic you like it with your profile pic, but eh conservatives are media illiterate Oh also The Matrix is a Trans Allegory
With this song Bruce showed the world what he could do. This was the first single of The number of the beast album released in UK. The way he sings in this song is awesome. He's got everithing; lows mids, highs, super highs, clean voice, distorted voice. super distorted voice, everything a heavy metal singer wishes to have.

i am a native American, swedish, wookie, romanian, big headed, danish, greek god and i want to let you guys know that i approve of this and rock to this song before my daily rituals.
iron maiden is like a history band. half their stuff is literally about history. take alexander the great for example, the entire song covers his entire life in 8 minutes.
If you like the topic of history in metal, check out power metal band sabaton, they have 8 albums all about history from 500bc to Afghanistan, they aren't as good musically but great guys and energy

Maiden fans are like a family. The people in the maiden community are some of the coolest, funniest, and most supportive people I have ever met. I know it sounds cheesy but it's true. Thank you everyone in this community for being like an extended family to me. Up the irons!!!🤘🤪
Don't know about the best, but definitely a legend!!! I always hate the best of this or that bullshit, because it is opinion and different types of voices and music!!! I mean Quiet Riot was metal, and Kevin Dubrow god rest his soul was amazing, and if call Rock and Roll in the conversation, Robert Plant, Daltrey, Freddie Mercury, and Peter Criss from Kiss!!!
The drumming is awesome, Bruce Dickinson's vocal delivery spectacular and Steve Harris's bass playing sounds like the hooves of galloping horses. He is the GOAT of bass playing.
Yeah ans With Ciive Burr on the drums this was (for my personally) the best Era/ band members / and best album of all time i!! I'd wish I was there in 1982 at the beast on the road tour , but I was only 10 years old and didn't knew about maiden until 1985
I raised both my adult children on 80's rock not easy as a single parent, but it worked! That is all they continue to listen to .. job done!! Keep it up my friend! 🤘
I heard this song for the first time, about 10 years ago now. And a shiver literally ran down my spine from the song a I just had to hear it again! And then I started listening to their other songs. And I instantly became fan of Iron Maiden. And to this day, Iron Maiden is my favorite band and I've seen them on concert several times! Up the Irons! 🤘
Sweet our next history song will be called "you limeys are quite welcome for us saving your hapless asses from Germany... TWICE. dont mention it old beans" by Metallica 🇺🇸😘🇬🇧
This song never gets old. I love everything about it: Bruce's incomparable voice, the playing of the music instruments, the video clip of the song. Everything. P.S.: Bruce Dickinson was very handsome at that age.
This was literally the ONLY song they every played on the radio from Maiden back in the day. Got so tired of it, but am really grateful it got me into the band from the beginning. Still love em 40 years later. Up the Irons !!
they still play this track and have played this one to death in the last 20 years or so, they wont air their big lenghty songs like alexander the great or nomad its radio logic, short and pop songs
I used to love to watch this video on MTV when I was a little kid and this came out. They played it non stop. I'd sit and wait for it to come on again.
It's still playing on my favorite station! Every Saturday, because on that day the radio station only puts rock music. They call it "The Great Rock Mass"
I'm an old geezer who has mapped Iron Maiden's progress pretty much from the start. They deserve a lifetime achievement award for keeping us entertained for so long. Continue the legacy young folk, get pissed, do drugs & party before arthritis & COPD set in. ROCK & F*CKIN' ROLL! 💀
Hehe, same here. I was listening to other types of music back then. But I like music, so you know, there I am, years later, a song like this come on, or a friend recommends it, and boom. Life is good. This song absolutely destroys. This entire album, on the right afternoon, at the right volume, can change your life.
You do realize its about the same accuracy as like, the ija retelling the events of the khmer rouge. An imperialist nation attempting to bank on some event they had no way of really understanding lmfaooo but yea bruther they really got history down in a maiden song. Sincerely signed someone thats worked for natives.
Looking at this, can you believe the singer is capable of flying a 747 today? Which is owned by the band. Now that is what I call success. Up the Irons!
This song is my Native American side and my European side of my blood. I love this song I listen to it all the time. Perfect video it makes me smile, thanks Iron Maiden ❤️

Wod oof tenks an tings 11403 Nicko McBrain just seems to love life and everything about it. That's why he's my favourite Maiden member (even though I'm a guitarist/bassist.
As a Native, I love this. This captures the pain of my people. The brutality that my ancestors faced. It just captures that. I love it. Edit: To be more specific, My tribe is Navajo and I'm full blooded because my parents are Navajo. So I got to be more specific.
not like we were doing anything great anyways. I mean we didn't even have the wheel. id say us natives were pretty brutal as well to each other. if not for the great explorers we wouldn't have the best country on earth
My dear Métis (part Native American Indian) mother threw out all of my records when I was a teen in the 80s, believing all heavy metal was wicked. She recently apologized and offered to make amends. ❤ Is she ever in for a treat today, both musically and culturally.
I still remember when I heard this first (far too long ago) and it is still as good as it was the first time. Just wow, Iron Maiden, you destroyed my ears but your music gives me still cold shivers down the back ❤
life is better with good music. not like there's no new decent tunes or everything the 80's spat out was pure gold, just that in 30 years i see this still being played and re-re-re-discovered and current songs will fade into obscurity. then again, rock is about attitude, energy, virtuosity and singularity, so that's just one reason why it stands the test of time.
@@small_fries7573 have you ever wondered, what it would take for an omnipotent being to not give a fxck about the life he created? Imagine walking by life and doing nothing as it crumbles, all the while, knowing you can... I've got to be good here, now, to get milk and honey when I die? Fxck that. Why can't God just erase evil? Why must we suffer in evil as a test? Plus, your gods cool with pedos repenting seconds before death. I'm more cool w/ a machine that destroys those types of people down to a molecular level where no religion can accept what's left (basically a "soul" vaporizing device).
This song makes me cry at 44 with a brain tumor... It's all the same brother. Running from ultimate death by another force not controlled by your own hand. It's all relevant and hits me now
My friends and I had heard the first Maiden records and liked the instruments. Then we heard "Number of the Beast" and it was shocking. Bruce's voice put metal on a new plane. Then one of my friends was practically having a heart attack when she raced in with their LP. She put this song on and it absolutely blew us away. There we were a bunch of Natives on the rez listening to Bruce sing about us! To put this into perspective, think of the year Survivor released "Eye of the Tiger," and how that song was a daily play in Philadelphia. For us, "Run To The Hills" is still daily play. When I saw them do this in concert, it was beyond words
Lyrics: White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery He killed our tribes, he killed our creed He took our game for his own need We fought him hard, we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came, too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom the stab in the back Women and children, a cowards attack Run to the hills - run for your lives Run to the hills - run for your lives Soldier blue in the barren wastes Hunting and killing's a game Raping the women and wasting the men "The only good injins are tame" Selling them whiskey and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills - run for your lives Run to the hills - run for your lives Run to the hills - run for your lives Run to the hills - run for your lives
Pete W yes very true to this date tribes still carry a grudge. My brother is Creek. He married a Seminole. ..the families hate each other because of this.. Im white we grew up together. We are just family because of growing up together.
It was all about the grounds they were hunting on tho, at least on the plains. A lot of tribes have conflicts with other tribes but in all honesty we never massacred each other at all, unless they did something truly unspeakable and in need absolute need of retaliation (which even then native on native massacres didnt really happen as often as presumed), and even then we didnt just go in and start killing willy nilly. What you find is that theres an underlying respect for each other, even if it isnt pronounced.
And the whole crowd chants," Maiden !! Maiden !! Maiden !!" A respectful shout out to our Native American brothers sisters and Iron Maiden for telling their story put to music. From an Iron Maiden fan of 40 years !!!
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism, come on now, brother. You know that Americans are extremely patriots 🙄 and this gives in my nerves 😡 because they believe they are superior to the non-American people. For me, they are only shit. 👎
I want to dedicate this song to my Grandpa Jeff, he passed away on April 12th 2022, he was only 66, but he loved music, especially Iron Maiden since that’s his favorite band. He also liked guitars, bowling, and fixing things. Rest In Peace Grandpa I miss you. 🕊🥀
Your grandpa was a rock believer 💪 and you are very lucky 🙏 to be his grandchild. I am cordially sorry 😢 for him having passed away at the age of only 66. God bless you to be healthy and treasure his memory till the end of your life. 🙂
I remember when i was 4, my dad was helping my uncle move stuff into his new apartment, and he left me in the car. He had his iPod plugged in to the speakers when this masterpiece of a song came on. The first time I heard the song, I replayed it to see if I liked it. By the time my dad got into the car, I had listened to the song 15 times and was playing air guitar on the car floor :)
Once, I was at a show, and in between every band change this song was cranked over the PA. On repeat. We must have heard it 12-15 times that night. And no one complained, because this song is legendary
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... you've cheered me up no end.. it's the only way to listen to it my friend.. loud as fuck... have you got the 'Piece of Mind ' album? Absolutely savage stuff.. turn the dial up to the last and not only will the police be invited... the armed forces will be busting your fkn door down
This amazing, incredible album NOTB turns 40 years old today. An absolute masterpiece! Thank you Maiden, thank you for one of the greatest Heavy Metal albums of all time. 03.22.1982 🤘🏽
Have you ever wondered where your soul goes after this life? We are sinners despite any tiny sins we commit like lying, bad thoughts, or cussing. It doesn't even matter how many good deeds we do because one little sin is bad enough already. We cannot make it up to heaven on our own will. Our God, Jesus Christ, decided to come down to Earth as a SINLESS human and sacrificed His life for our sins. Then He resurrected three days later! Therefore if you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior, you'll definitely have eternal life. Your existence is proof that God is real. Consider this: A creation like you have a Creator. Only in the Bible does it mention that God is the Creator of mankind. God is the only one who can create your body, your organs, your features, your blood, and fingerprints. That is why nobody has the same finger prints nor DNA as you. YOU ARE UNIQUE THANKS TO OUR GOD, JESUS CHRIST! Have a great day!
@@small_fries7573 is Jesus Vhrist a prophet? God's sun or God himself? Also the Bible is not the only religious scripture that mentions that God created mankind
This is just a great song, no two ways about it. But the star of the show here, in my humble opinion, is the drummer. He's just slaying the hell out of his kit. 🥁
One of my favorite things about Iron Maiden songs is they tell stories from multiple perspectives. You hear both the natives and white men's perspectives in this. And in number of the beast you hear the side of the person being taken over, and also the evil that is taking him over.
I’ve been to a lot of concerts but Iron Maiden next year will be my first concert being a freshman in high school, who else thinks that’s the perfect band to start high school with? (I’m currently 13)
Nothing better than Up The Irons... listened to Piece of Mind, watching stars with a cassette deck a few decades back, can't go wrong with Iron Maiden. Nothing better than the best.
Ive loved this track for over 2 decades...... but i'm an audiophile and musician so when i hear a track i hear the tone and pitch of a voice in relation to the music, not the words themselves and today i decided to tune everything else out and hear just the words.... and..... wow.....this track has depth and meaning i never realised. its extremely sad and dark and speaks so deeply that i'll never hear this track the same way again and i cannot express the respect i have for Iron Maiden for choosing that power chord progression for these lyrics which shows their level of understanding of the subject matter, and its purity and they're rallying people around the truth of the facts. So, Iron Maiden i do doth my cap and bow in respect. Well done Iron Maiden, well done.
Saxon,Judas Priest Tank,Mötorhead,Diamond Head,Blitzkrieg,and Angel Witch we're all sort of similar. Good amount of British Music from The 80s was in this perticular style of metal. Still cool stuff though. For American Consumers before Black Metal existed (not counting Venom as Black Metal because it just isn't) yeah as most of those weren't really as popular in America save for Mötorhead and Judas Priest although both Anthrax and Metallica took a lot of ques from these bands.
I remember sitting in my bed room at 14 playing bass along to the cassette of this. Steve Harris just grabbed me up and said play bass young man and i listened. Thanks Steve
Crazie mille Iron Maiden per aver condiviso questa bella canzone 🎤🎻🥁🎶🙏✨👍 Bella interpretazione 👌 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed Applausi 👏👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️🤗💙

LYRICS
[Intro]
White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?
[Verse 1]
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children are cowards attack
[Chorus]
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
[Verse 2]
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing's a game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Injuns are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
[Chorus]
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives

I'm an old geezer who has mapped Iron Maiden's progress pretty much from the start. They deserve a lifetime achievement award for keeping us entertained for so long. Continue the legacy young folk, get pissed, do drugs & party before arthritis & COPD set in. ROCK & F*CKIN' ROLL! 💀
HELL YES BROTHER
Hell yeah!🤘
Do drugs kids
the term geezer is one of my favourite
Rite on man,keep Rocken till your last breath
Two words: kick & ass! I never realized during my adolescence that Iron Maiden was such a good band.
Hehe, same here. I was listening to other types of music back then. But I like music, so you know, there I am, years later, a song like this come on, or a friend recommends it, and boom. Life is good. This song absolutely destroys. This entire album, on the right afternoon, at the right volume, can change your life.
As a teen of the 80s ditto. We just didn't realize.
Decades gone, but still feel fresh and powerful.... IRON MAIDEN FOR EVER!!!
Eighties are the best
This was my 1st concert ever and I will NEVER 4GET.
As a black kid growing up in the 70s I was a Maiden fan. I still am and I'm almost 60. This is the best band in the world. Long live Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden narrates Native American History better than our own teachers. 🇺🇸
In some ways they are the "forefathers" to groups like Sabaton
You do realize its about the same accuracy as like, the ija retelling the events of the khmer rouge. An imperialist nation attempting to bank on some event they had no way of really understanding lmfaooo but yea bruther they really got history down in a maiden song. Sincerely signed someone thats worked for natives.
exactly. they need to play this video in every american history class.
Yes, settlers and native Americans clashed while riding in automobiles.
Amen!!
Looking at this, can you believe the singer is capable of flying a 747 today? Which is owned by the band. Now that is what I call success. Up the Irons!
Yes, thanks to the enormous progress and economical development made possible by the "white man", which is villified in this video.
AAA9734 Your troll level is low... Like your IQ going by your statement.
@Oryn A for Asshole lol
He's also an Olympic level fencer, a true renaissance man! \m/
Also teaches fencing on a professional level. When he left to find himself he intended to be a pro fencing Instructor.
Iron Maiden always had so much respect for their fans. It shows on stage with an exceptional performance every single time!
I miss Heavy Metal music in the 80's. Better than ANY music after the year 2000's. PERIOD.
Bruce Dickinson, probably the most powerful voices in all of Rock! Most impressive Mr. Dickinson!
Bruce is what vocals are meant to be!!
Remove the "probably" and then you're completely right! 😁👍
There's no "probably" about it. He is.
I think Mr Plant & Mr Rogers -et al- might have something to say about that lol. he doesn't have their vocal range
@@johncarlisle621 That's why I said "probably" because there's many great singers!
What a song of resistance! This is a power ballad
you like iron maiden too
You again! I’ve seen you on so many metal music videos
Garbage.
uummmmm, you know what a power Ballad is????? Fear of the dark can be classified as a power ballad, definatley not this
@@BlackNightJack lol
This song is my Native American side and my European side of my blood. I love this song I listen to it all the time. Perfect video it makes me smile, thanks Iron Maiden ❤️
I am the same way...I always called it my internal conflict song!😊
Linda Euro ukraine-Cherooquaee All The Way
General Custard ROAR Mean Mr. Mustard , why they Call him DeJohn Mustard French Canadian ? Hunter , beware lzinjungirls Hunting Bears Patty
being Metis i really feel ya
you just like it because you're Native American. lame.
I am Mexican and l like iron maiden, love this song
Stands the test of time very well, now in my 50's and still fresh and of course totalling banging !!!!!

iron maiden has the happiest drummer ever
+Gavin Allen He also has one the coolest names in Music History!
+Gavin Allen Lead singer Aidan is also one awesome dude :D

Do what you love, love what you do--that's the key to happiness.
Wod oof tenks an tings 11403 Nicko McBrain just seems to love life and everything about it. That's why he's my favourite Maiden member (even though I'm a guitarist/bassist.
As a Native, I love this. This captures the pain of my people. The brutality that my ancestors faced. It just captures that. I love it.
Edit: To be more specific, My tribe is Navajo and I'm full blooded because my parents are Navajo. So I got to be more specific.
Yo I had a band called osage hills and it was also similar to this but a lot more complex. The osage Indians were massacred in the 1920 in Oklahoma.
Feel as I should also state that my daughter has native american blood from her Mother.
Why don't you go sit under a rainbow and write a poem about it.
@@TheBenjammin bet you have your mids on 1 on your 5150 🤣 guarantee you use a boss noise suppressor
not like we were doing anything great anyways. I mean we didn't even have the wheel. id say us natives were pretty brutal as well to each other. if not for the great explorers we wouldn't have the best country on earth
My dear Métis (part Native American Indian) mother threw out all of my records when I was a teen in the 80s, believing all heavy metal was wicked. She recently apologized and offered to make amends. ❤ Is she ever in for a treat today, both musically and culturally.
I still remember when I heard this first (far too long ago) and it is still as good as it was the first time. Just wow, Iron Maiden, you destroyed my ears but your music gives me still cold shivers down the back ❤
As someone who is both a huge fan of both metal and rock and a history buff iron maiden is amazing and I just love them.
Do you listen to sabaton?
I just love the tempo of this song. Just like a galloping horse.
Good to make out to as well!
It's the bassline, Steve Harris does a lot of galloping on their songs
You can think Steve Harris (the Bassist) for that galloping soundtrack
That's more 4 Horsemen, but to each thier own.
Fastest fuckin drums in the west
Iron Maiden Band
Awesome and amazing! Talented,Brilliant Creative Musicians!
I love all there, Songs❤♾️🤟
The best drums, voice and guitars
metallica better
no
Great? Absolutely! The best? Not so sure of that.
I really wonder: who forgot about the Bass/songwriter . 🤘😎
@@mortuus4601 lol no just different they are both badass in different ways
Awesome song of an awesome band!! Iron Maiden forever!!
Fucking yeah up the irons! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruce!!!!
Long live spandex
this song is too badass for this world
Right
Damn right
blaze 😁😁
The lyrics are all too real.
Im 17 and this is one of my favourite songs
A rock star, a qualified commercial jet pilot, one of the best sword fencers in the Uk, an author, and a lyricist. That's Brice Dickinson.
life is better with good music. not like there's no new decent tunes or everything the 80's spat out was pure gold, just that in 30 years i see this still being played and re-re-re-discovered and current songs will fade into obscurity.
then again, rock is about attitude, energy, virtuosity and singularity, so that's just one reason why it stands the test of time.
can you imagine that next year this song will be 40 years old and still gorgeous!
@@small_fries7573 How did we go from Iron Maiden to God?
@@small_fries7573 have you ever wondered, what it would take for an omnipotent being to not give a fxck about the life he created? Imagine walking by life and doing nothing as it crumbles, all the while, knowing you can... I've got to be good here, now, to get milk and honey when I die? Fxck that. Why can't God just erase evil? Why must we suffer in evil as a test? Plus, your gods cool with pedos repenting seconds before death. I'm more cool w/ a machine that destroys those types of people down to a molecular level where no religion can accept what's left (basically a "soul" vaporizing device).
@@small_fries7573 Oh. Be quiet, you ignorant one. There is no God!
@@David-cz1el It's clearly someone spamming, so just report him.
C'était hier,😉,avec de si bons souvenirs,et surtout La Liberté ☘️😉💕
This song makes me cry at 44 with a brain tumor... It's all the same brother. Running from ultimate death by another force not controlled by your own hand. It's all relevant and hits me now
ooo got the religious tumour@@asmrbynature3057
May the music help you to LIVE LONG fighting the good fight of faith. It does have the power to heal. 💓
I know how you feel, 12 years ago I had three brain aneurysms and two brain surgeries. Don't give up, may God help you.

You might look into keto diets. They're incredibly good for the brain. Wishing you the best 🙏
My friends and I had heard the first Maiden records and liked the instruments. Then we heard "Number of the Beast" and it was shocking. Bruce's voice put metal on a new plane. Then one of my friends was practically having a heart attack when she raced in with their LP. She put this song on and it absolutely blew us away. There we were a bunch of Natives on the rez listening to Bruce sing about us! To put this into perspective, think of the year Survivor released "Eye of the Tiger," and how that song was a daily play in Philadelphia. For us, "Run To The Hills" is still daily play. When I saw them do this in concert, it was beyond words
they finally upload their music videos! i love iron maiden, they were the first band i started listening to :)
haha thats a joke
tuulenkoti The ad hominem is strong in this one.
tuulenkoti Umm... no.
+JinxPower Me too back in 1985....
Same here, back in 1982 ;-)
This song speaks so loudly. God bless Iron Maiden
This song never gets old. Had that poster on my wall. Just a kick ass song.
I would kill to have that poster.
one does not simply have a playlist without this song
I know right
Totally true!
*have... But agreed
Done. 14 times
shame on you
Lyrics:
White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came, too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free
Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children, a cowards attack
Run to the hills - run for your lives
Run to the hills - run for your lives
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing's a game
Raping the women and wasting the men
"The only good injins are tame"
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills - run for your lives
Run to the hills - run for your lives
Run to the hills - run for your lives
Run to the hills - run for your lives
AkumaaOtaku Thanks man,just like this band,you rock!
Pete W yes very true to this date tribes still carry a grudge. My brother is Creek. He married a Seminole. ..the families hate each other because of this..
Im white we grew up together. We are just family because of growing up together.
Pete W Excellent generalization.
It was all about the grounds they were hunting on tho, at least on the plains. A lot of tribes have conflicts with other tribes but in all honesty we never massacred each other at all, unless they did something truly unspeakable and in need absolute need of retaliation (which even then native on native massacres didnt really happen as often as presumed), and even then we didnt just go in and start killing willy nilly. What you find is that theres an underlying respect for each other, even if it isnt pronounced.
Pete W true, even after thanksgiving the white man still said fuck you anyway. That’s the other part they don’t teach in school
i love iron Maiden
And the whole crowd chants," Maiden !! Maiden !! Maiden !!" A respectful shout out to our Native American brothers sisters and Iron Maiden for telling their story put to music. From an Iron Maiden fan of 40 years !!!
We're not the Europeans brothers and sisters.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism, come on now, brother. You know that Americans are extremely patriots 🙄 and this gives in my nerves 😡 because they believe they are superior to the non-American people. For me, they are only shit. 👎
Aho brother
I don't always listen to maiden. But when I do...so does my whole street
So do mine!😁
me too
jur jur jur
Bro its 2020 and people are still using this joke...
@@JustinODonnell2424 2020 are people still calling each other bro? I thought that died off in the early 2000s
I want to dedicate this song to my Grandpa Jeff, he passed away on April 12th 2022, he was only 66, but he loved music, especially Iron Maiden since that’s his favorite band. He also liked guitars, bowling, and fixing things. Rest In Peace Grandpa I miss you. 🕊🥀
Very cool
Your grandpa was a rock believer 💪 and you are very lucky 🙏 to be his grandchild.
I am cordially sorry 😢 for him having passed away at the age of only 66. God bless you to be healthy and treasure his memory till the end of your life. 🙂
This song is sick. You can tell these dudes were passionate with their music. Music today just isn't like this.
So modern bands can't be passionate about music?
I was born in the wrong generation
(Filthy Frank, anyone?)
Roomcajs I'M ONLY 15 AND I LISTEN TO QUEEN, I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION AND
+Sunforged I'm 15, and listen to AC/DC, Guns n' Roses etc, and I know that feeling
i'm 10 and i listen yo ironmaiden,Queen,AC/DC,slipknot etc
With this song I met and began to love Iron Maiden... I was 13 years old. Up the Iron Maiden🤘
First five seconds - that beat is SO hot.
Its not beat
Not only first five seconds
IDK man,
0:00 to 3:52 is pretty hot as well.
so sexy
It cost me my license because of to many speeding tickets
This song should've lasted atleast 7 minutes. Can't get enough of it. They need to make a remake, a full version.
the chorus gives me the chills every time i hear it!
I love Iron Maiden. I love Rock N Roll.
I'm Cree Indian from Alberta Canada...Iron Maiden my favorite metal band
I remember when i was 4, my dad was helping my uncle move stuff into his new apartment, and he left me in the car. He had his iPod plugged in to the speakers when this masterpiece of a song came on. The first time I heard the song, I replayed it to see if I liked it. By the time my dad got into the car, I had listened to the song 15 times and was playing air guitar on the car floor :)
+Jason Torres allahu akbar
+BurritoBot They had ipods when you were 4? holy crap.
just checked the came out in 2001. nevermind
+Josh -O There's no god, fuck off.
lol
+BurritoBot Nice story dude :)
Once, I was at a show, and in between every band change this song was cranked over the PA. On repeat. We must have heard it 12-15 times that night. And no one complained, because this song is legendary
M Robbins must’ve been funny on the second or third repeat when everyone realised that it would play every time
ラジオで聴いて最高気に入りです。日本来日公演行ってみたかった気持ちです😊
A tribute song! to my original people. The 1st nations.. \m/
I'm 1/4 Haida, so this is true!
Actually, new studies are suggesting otherwise about the bering strait.
Logan Torrez very true. Natives ARE NOT natives....to this land. DNA is a wonderful tool.
Powerful message.
Iron Maiden one of the best bands live I’ve ever seen hands down and I’ve seen them 3x.
the first minute is savage! I keep replaying it over and over again.
My neighbours liked this song so much they invited the police to listen.
Who do you like or love? ;-)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... you've cheered me up no end.. it's the only way to listen to it my friend.. loud as fuck... have you got the 'Piece of Mind ' album? Absolutely savage stuff.. turn the dial up to the last and not only will the police be invited... the armed forces will be busting your fkn door down
Mine to but cops enjoyed
When I blasted this out my window , the police and neighbors came to listen . Oh yah !
Hahaha.
Iron Maiden is the #1 Heavy Metal Band of all Metal bands !!!!
The solo in this song is amazing i get chills everytime i hear it i replay it like 50 times
Navajo here I grew up listening to this. Thanks dad. 🤗 It's 2024
This amazing, incredible album NOTB turns 40 years old today. An absolute
masterpiece! Thank you Maiden, thank you for one of the greatest Heavy Metal albums of all time. 03.22.1982 🤘🏽
70s and 80s please come back
Dude, 70's and 80's are insanely different from each other. How could you wish them both back?
Why not? I preferred 60s and 70s in general - but this is one of the BEST of the 80s. Lot of good stuff in this decade too, just have to look.
Still Insane enoff to put run to the hills betwwen 2 slows in a party.
Katy D la
no fucken way, dont come back, the past sucks... only bands these days are allowed to go back =P
That final scream from Dickinson must be one of the greatest metal moments of all time
Have you ever wondered where your soul goes after this life? We are sinners despite any tiny sins we commit like lying, bad thoughts, or cussing. It doesn't even matter how many good deeds we do because one little sin is bad enough already. We cannot make it up to heaven on our own will.
Our God, Jesus Christ, decided to come down to Earth as a SINLESS human and sacrificed His life for our sins. Then He resurrected three days later! Therefore if you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior, you'll definitely have eternal life. Your existence is proof that God is real.
Consider this: A creation like you have a Creator. Only in the Bible does it mention that God is the Creator of mankind. God is the only one who can create your body, your organs, your features, your blood, and fingerprints. That is why nobody has the same finger prints nor DNA as you. YOU ARE UNIQUE THANKS TO OUR GOD, JESUS CHRIST! Have a great day!
@@small_fries7573 Jesus is the King ❤️
His LIVE scream in NTOB from the 1982 Hammersmith show is the greatest scream in music history
We are here to listen to good music, post your lies somewhere else
@@small_fries7573 is Jesus Vhrist a prophet? God's sun or God himself?
Also the Bible is not the only religious scripture that mentions that God created mankind
This is just a great song, no two ways about it. But the star of the show here, in my humble opinion, is the drummer. He's just slaying the hell out of his kit. 🥁
I agree with you. 💯
LOVE the drums in this one. some of the best
I had a huge Iron Maiden poster in my room in 1984. Iron Maiden are a legend!
The people who disliked should run to the hills... Cause the trooper is coming!!!
"Reguetoñeros"
These people shouldnt be allowed by thy name do dislike.
+Manuel Rocha They should start to run now, cause there is only 2 minutes to midnight and they will have fear of the dark
boothps hahaha nice one
+boothps Lol ;)
Should be a vicking chant back in the day, i guarantee everyone will run to the hills. GOD BLESS Iron Maiden. Rock on 🤘
I love vikings too.
Bruce performance is just a masterpiece
One of my favorite things about Iron Maiden songs is they tell stories from multiple perspectives. You hear both the natives and white men's perspectives in this. And in number of the beast you hear the side of the person being taken over, and also the evil that is taking him over.
I’ve been to a lot of concerts but Iron Maiden next year will be my first concert being a freshman in high school, who else thinks that’s the perfect band to start high school with? (I’m currently 13)
Nothing better than Up The Irons... listened to Piece of Mind, watching stars with a cassette deck a few decades back, can't go wrong with Iron Maiden. Nothing better than the best.
GLETJE Dino I started like these guys about 8 months ago and I’m disappointed that it took that long
Mike Urashevich nice
Ive loved this track for over 2 decades...... but i'm an audiophile and musician so when i hear a track i hear the tone and pitch of a voice in relation to the music, not the words themselves and today i decided to tune everything else out and hear just the words.... and..... wow.....this track has depth and meaning i never realised. its extremely sad and dark and speaks so deeply that i'll never hear this track the same way again and i cannot express the respect i have for Iron Maiden for choosing that power chord progression for these lyrics which shows their level of understanding of the subject matter, and its purity and they're rallying people around the truth of the facts.
So, Iron Maiden i do doth my cap and bow in respect.
Well done Iron Maiden, well done.
I'm glad you did that.
Madonna, blondie, Bowie, Beatles? Music…we need music!
THIS IS MUSIC!!!!
Well The Beatles are fucking music man-give me a break.
@@redskies4530 Obviously, he would respect the Beatles, why wouldn't he?
Helter Skelter, anyone?
🤣 Eddie!
@@redskies4530 he's quoting a scene from a show
Eddie is the best character. Fuck Max, Dustin and Steve, Eddie is my boi
The Maiden was ahead of it’s time!
Song still hits hard. And I’m not even a rocker!
Saxon,Judas Priest Tank,Mötorhead,Diamond Head,Blitzkrieg,and Angel Witch we're all sort of similar. Good amount of British Music from The 80s was in this perticular style of metal. Still cool stuff though. For American Consumers before Black Metal existed (not counting Venom as Black Metal because it just isn't) yeah as most of those weren't really as popular in America save for Mötorhead and Judas Priest although both Anthrax and Metallica took a lot of ques from these bands.
Perfect for their time.
Super
I remember sitting in my bed room at 14 playing bass along to the cassette of this. Steve Harris just grabbed me up and said play bass young man and i listened. Thanks Steve
Vinyl
Steve Harris is by far the best. John Paul Jones is the only competitor.
Me too!!
Crazie mille Iron Maiden per aver condiviso questa bella canzone 🎤🎻🥁🎶🙏✨👍 Bella interpretazione 👌 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed Applausi 👏👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️🤗💙
This is the best metal song in history, in my opinion
Not in my opinion, but it's great!
Hallowed be thy fkn name.
Nah dude, St.anger shits all over this.
So, Metallica's 54th best song is better than this? Ok.
eginb He's joking, alot of people dislike st anger
