ABOUT IRON MAIDEN:
Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of six decades they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.
The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’ which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

Jason Nation This is truth, Iron Maiden ANARCHY!!!
@@sushiwithasword5089 You don't even know what real anarchy is. You sound really young. Wait another 20 years.....
Best part of the song is from 0:00 to 6:10.
True story
i heard 6:12 is Awful, good thing we can't hear it
@@notarealspy4090 not as bad as 6:13
@@GorillaCrusader64 True, though bad as 6:13 is it's 10 times better than 6:14.
@@Smoggy6681 That's correct, however 6:15 is worse than both 6:13 and 6:14 combined.
Whos listening to this still in 2099???
ROCK ON MY FRIENDS!!!
Iron Maiden is never out of season...💥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🤘🤘
"... we oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies."
That is such a brutal and perfect line to describe the horrors of war.

It's the doomsday clock lol
Hey, jokes
The Proficy will for fill its self sadly. But, Awesome tune in the mean while

Remember we are closer to Midnight now than when we were when this song came out!
Great song

Fifty-nine seconds now, at most.

One things for sure - There's a history lesson in every Iron Maiden song
That is what I most like from Iron Maiden! None did it as Iron Maiden continuous to do...
Totally...Alexander the Great is a mouthful to sing but great mnemonics for history tests!
Bruce the Goose was literally a history teacher back in his day, taught in high school - fun fact.
👍
Iron Maiden are history themselves 🤘🏻
Maiden has been the soundtrack of my life since i was 8 years old! Today at 45 i enjoy their music more than ever! UP THE IRONS!
same here , was rocking them by the time I hit high school.. I'm 43 now , and just saw them in concert a month ago , THEY ROCK !!! UP THE IRONS !!!

Almost 30 years ago my grandpa showed my mom this song, and 9 years ago to me, this song is so good that ill show it to my children in around 15 years, and make it immortal
😱😱
Wow mate you're lucky that someone from your family loves it and made you love it.....I come from a family of opera lirica fans and they're practically scared by this music....I can't even wear a Maiden t-shirt with the Eddie at home bc they say that "only assassins listen to this bunch of jail leftovers"
I'll show my nieces and nephews
I’ll show my future kids this to in 20 years from now!
I’m 13 almost 14 so it’ll take a while for me to actually have kids but I’m really looking forward to having kids in the future!
I really love Iron Maiden and this band should never die out! 🤘🏼
it was Awesome to be 15 in 1985!!!!
Mission Accomplished! Played it at 11:54PM, 31st December 2023.... UP THE IRONS!!!!
Should be renamed 6 minutes to midnight
These kids nowadays, don't know what they missed in our generation of music. Great music to listen to .
It's a real shame, I"m glad I was there to enjoy every minute the best time in my life!!!🤘🤘🤘
We sound like our parents lol. The cycle will always continue
1984 was an awesome year for heavy metal! Iron Maiden released 'Powerslave'. Judas Priest released 'Defenders of the Faith', and Twisted Sister released 'Stay Hungry'. I got to to see all three bands play live, songs from those records that year at the Long Beach Arena. Those were great times.
what a shame that heavy metal is over
It pays to recycle Ride The Lightning?
Definitely Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are The best Heavy Metal bands in the world.
Idiota
@@andresramos1131 Tu eres muy estupido.
This song spoke to its time, and speaks to this time.
Many metal songs never get old in their messages. Especially Iron Maiden 🤘🤘🤘
We're at less than 2 minutes now, have a great day :)
Yep, Now we are 10 seconds to midnight.
It’s right on the money for today’s time and sure did rock when it came out
Love from RahulIndia

9 seconds to midnight
Old but gold....6 min pure rock...just amazing song
gold never ages... :D
its not even that old. ozzys the og but all metal us brainless yet uh quite technical. spot of tea mates
Dave Murray is one of the best heavy metal guitarists of all time. It's amazing the sound he's been able to make with his Stratocaster, for well over 40 years now.
Adrian Smith is also really good I think they are both super underrated in Metal they have both played some of the most iconic guitar riffs in history.
@@TheTriggeredDuckguitarist Also? Mostly Smith
benedetto gammastorta No Dave is great too I can say that as a guitarist myself
I really like Dave, but I think Adrian is better.
and so does Adrian Smith
*Long Live British Heavy Metal*
*Long Live Iron Maiden*
*Up The Irons Forever*
🤟
In other words cLong live heavy metal". Metal is British, more specifically English by definition. The sound is the embodiment of post-war England, and that's where this sound came from. Metal is as British of a genre as you can get
@@rowanmelton7643 what about Metallica. They’re pretty damn metal
@@randomprojectsusa5196 Oh no, there's plenty of brilliant American metal bands, my point just was that it started out as a British genre, it was living and breathing here for around a decade before it came across the pond, so the term "British heavy metal" pisses me off
@@rowanmelton7643 ah, cool. I agree completely then
"Yes, I know what is the Iron Maiden's Mascot, It's a puppy!"
-Lazlow, V-Rock
Harris is a beast....crazy ... love maiden
One of the best songs written of all times.
If you start this song at 11:57 pm,
the first time they say "two minutes to midnight"
is at two minutes to midnight.
Lyrics:
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
The blind men shout, "Let the creatures out!
We'll show the unbelievers"
Napalm screams of human flames
For a prime-time Belsen feast, yeah
As the reasons for the carnage cut
Their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine
And feed it with our babies
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
The body bags and little rags
Of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain
To put the finger right on you
As the mad men play on words
And make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions
To make a better kind of gun
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night
Midnight, all night
Always thought it was The killers breed ON the demon's seed
@@zerozerohero7189 yeah this makes much more sense
THANK YOU !!!
For those who don't know, 2 minutes to midnight references the doomsday clock; a measure of how close the Cold War was to going hot. It was counting up to midnight, at which point nukes were coming out of launch tubes.
@@damien5760no, it is straight from the album sleeve.
Yep, if you are reading this comment today, at this hour you already know why we are listening this song in particular ;)
Freaking a man
Yep hell yeah 🤘
Iron Maiden 🤟🤟🤟 One of the best metal songs ever.
metal Band....... not songs.......
2023 / 90 seconds to midnight… nothing change.
This song was more relevant than ever…
as much as i like this song, i'd really rather it not be
The doomsday clock was 100 seconds to midnight in January, now I would guess that it's only one minute to midnight
@@trenchrat5359 2 Seconds To Midnight (when looking at the world through the eyes of a Finn)
I just looked and it is holding at 100 seconds.
It's been there for a few years now.
@@Wiccang It is relative and different in different countries (time zones). When you live in a country neighboring Russia, it is a different time than in a more distant country. (I hope my comment is a joke, but I'm really afraid of anything else)
Thumbs up if you listen this song for 2016 new year!
I made it a tradition.
+Matt Young i wonder what the dooms day clock will say this year... maybe another 2 minutes to midnight
+the_Banana_King Nope. Stayed at 3 minutes. Still baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad news!
+bujin1977 shit, I guess they're gonna have to change the song. oh well
+Matt Young Haven't heard this song for a long time.
One of the most underrated opening guitar riffs in rock history.
Ah the good ol' days... Now we are only 90 seconds.
1984: 2 minutes to midnight
2021: now 100 seconds to midnight.
slow progress somehow 👀
F*cking disturbing if you think about it.
Maiden warned about it and we still went ahead and crossed the 2 minute mark...
It's kinda amazing in a way that we even have that much time left in the DDClock.
@@atariduckman It was the closest the Doomsday Clock reached at the height of the Cold War which is the reference and for a long time was the closest it had been.
@@jonathanc7674 I know. It was at 2 minutes in 1953 and in 2018.
In 1953, because of Operation Ivy (first hydrogen bomb test by the U.S.) and the Joe 4 test by the U.S.S.R.
In 2018, because of the tensions between world leaders and increase of midrange missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads by the Russian government. Among other things like a nearly worldwide shift to right-wing leaning governments.
I follow the Doomsday clock and the newsletter they put out.
😁
Who else is here because
you love Iron Maiden?
Who else is here because they download it for their music file
Obviously.
I am here to call everybody c*nts idk
I'm here because I'm curious and I hadn't heard any of their stuff yet.
Actually I'm here because I saw a Iron Maiden Pinball machine last night ._.'
I know i sound like an old man but I have to say, they dont make music like this anymore. Such a brilliant composition...real music
The bass sounds just perfect..
@Rita Lovett I love his playing at "The glamour, the fortune, the pain." Especially at lyric "the pain", his playing is so vivid and touching. Goosebumps everywhere.
Hey the world is ending people!!! Btw hi again ;)
That's because everyone else in Maiden is a Demi-God ... Steve Harris is a full-blown GOD on his instrument. Kinda like Neil was (RIP).
@@johnp.smithasimpleman7281 It's good to see ya again haha
@@bvaljalo You mean Rush? Great band, though I didn't try it. But the fact that is they are literally god..in prog era.
Maiden too. Such a melodic, instrumental band. Their tune is always awesome to me. I'd dare to say, they would once at least influence other rock/metal musicians. Their song/riff still live on and go on.
It's a heavy metal masterpiece. Long live 80's heavy metal!
The glamour, the fortune, the fame....
🎸🎸🎸
Ah my favorite Christmas Carol.
Perfect balance of Drums and Guitars...the glamour, the fortune, the pain...don't pray for our soul anymore
Maiden was ahead of their time. This song still relevant today, just like the hair on Bruce! Bad ass! I want to kick my neighbors door in & scream 2 minutes to midnight fucker!!!
tankthomas44 fuck i need to go to school stop making good jokes xD
tankthomas44 hahah dude that made my night lol
They werent ahead of their time. Time when they started was simply awesome. IM isnt the only great band of their time - Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and so on - all great music mate. Cheers
the greatest video ever
they were ahead of their time with the 2 guitar melodies
Who's here the day they update the clock to 90s to midnight!!?? This is fine... everything's fin. Just gonna up the Irons 01/24/23 :)
Iron maiden forever!!!!!!!
2:47 solo is so amazing
im going out rocking to this when the bombs drop
Go to war again, blood is freedoms stain... Great lyrics.
I LOVE "Iron Waiden"
Iron Maiden has been around for over 40 years, and they’re still going strong!
Hillary You need some Metal in Your Ass!!!!!
Incarcerating Hillary = Never Happen
Thank God Hillary didn't get elected president. We would have had some of our rights taken away.
Thumbs up for name alone
Yes i was listening too them when I was 11 years old now I'm 51 they are my favorite heavy metal group
Iron Maiden at their Best! Kicking Ass!!
Maiden has always been top notch incredible metal acts of all time
the golden age of metal!!! life and music will never be as good as it was back then
I wish could relive the 80s
Ingsoc pfp, wow......
This entry riff is probably one of the most played riffs for a millions of kids today. Respect.
This is Maiden's best song, and one of the best heavy metal songs of all time.
It's good, but not the best.
the latter is easily arguable
@@gimmboi7408 from your point of view... what is the best heavy metal song...i just want to hear more heavy metal stuffs..if anything is better than this... it demands to be heard by noobs like me
Tariq Majumder i dont really think there’s a best heavy metal song, but some good metal bands are sabaton, dragon force, five finger death punch, and metallica
those are the ones i listen to and of course iron maiden
Yeah, I’m going to have to go with Hallowed Be Thy Name for the best Maiden song.
And now... we are 90 seconds to midnight!!!
if you start this song at exactly 11:56:44 PM, you will hear him say 2 minutes to midnight for the first time at 11:58 PM, 2 minutes before midnight.
This song is more prophetic than ever!
They were off by 20 seconds though.
Opino lo mismo tocayo 👍
Iron Maidens music always struck a certain chord with me.
This song deserves a new title: 2 milliseconds to midnight.
Clive Burr 8 March 1957 - 12 March 2013
He was the drummer for Iron Maiden from 1979 to 1982.
Still thinking about you Clive.. Run to the Hills..
2019, and it is still 2 Minutes to Midnight.
Yup youre damn fucking right boi
We're fucked, dude.
CELEBRATION! CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!
Iron Maiden are a legend
Cossack Two Five
Agreed. Remain vigilant
They always were ahead of their time. Most don't know the true meaning of this song. The hands that threaten doom. Amazing that man has the power to destroy the entire planet 100 times over.
Iron maiden forever
this is scary today
Maiden is just such a good band, never ever disappointed
True. Even at their lowest point they still kicked ass over so many others.
Irons up 🤘 🍻 🙌 👌
Yeah The UK greatest asset!!
So proud im a maiden fan. Best fanbase of any band. Simply the best
my favorite Iron Maiden song of all time. Absolutley insistent riff with a melody that could be in a moden pop song. Great song!
Steve Harris the best bass guitar!
most recycled riff in history of rock lmao
That Bass Guitar is overwhelming!
90 seconds till midnight.... 2023 gonna be the year lol

A certified Cold War classic.
'Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain' is one of the best lines from any song ever written
So is 'We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies'
That's why I will always love this song
That riff got me hooked in Iron Maiden 38 years ago. Not my favorite track anymore, but it holds a special place in my heart.
This was my second track I've heard and got hooked too. The first one was the Trooper. Up the Irons!

In 1989 I had seven teachers in regards to such information. Sometime that same year I decided to watch some music videos and that is when I discovered how highly informed the band members of Iron Maiden were. Today I am still blown away as to how far ahead of the game they are in their knowledge. What should I expect of the absolute best intellectual metal band on Earth? 😉 I met Bruce on a Flight out of Ireland back when I was in the Army. Aces High!🥃🥃🥃🍻🎯
@@blunderbuss9984 I wish that I could say. I mean I was lucky that I saw him board the plain and heard him speak a few words because flight is a very serious thing. If I were to guess I would say that my experience then gave me the impression that he has an amazing capacity for focus and this shouldn’t be a surprise because it’s been quite apparent all these years. I would say that he’s also very sly and even to the point that the probability is within the 90% range that he’s reading my response at the very same time that you are.
I had the pleasure of seeing maiden 7 times in the 80s they used to start touring in England then Ireland so between Belfast and Dublin in the same 2 nights sometimes maiden I grew up with and maiden Il die with 🤘🤘

Maiden are the best, such catchy well constructed, tunes & riffs. Lyrics that have depth and not just about, any old scary fantasy. The older I get, the more Maiden, seem to make, even more sense, than ever. Thank you, Bruce & the boys.
It's two minutes to midnight right now... on Doomsday clock.
Edit: It is 100 seconds to midnight right now.
I specifically put this song in my FB feed because of that :-P
11:58pm

Yep Styxhexenhammer666 sent me here
2024, still at 90 seconds
I still love this song❤
I love how the wind down part of this song is basically the strength of everyy Metalica song
They have so many great songs. I can't decide on my favorite. This one, Aces High, The Trooper, Wasted Years, etc... The list goes on and on. Up in Irons
It's because they're really old and have put out a lot of albums.
It's because they're really old and have put out a lot of albums.
True, but few bands have been able to put out as many good albums with great songs as them.
Flight of Icarus
+tim441 Aces High is my #1 favorite song.
Put them in the Iron Maiden :)
Man, I was just a kid when this was released. Good memories when my father introduced me to Iron Maiden back then. Still love this song to this day and I am 45 y old now. Time goes by so quickly.
I was a new 17 yr old when this album toppled everything in front of it. Oh, wait a minute, it couldn't have toppled things in front of it. Powerslave never followed anything, way too good of an album
