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’.

This is actually so clever dude.
Lol x'D
good one!
u made me blow air out of my nose more than usual
Fabián Gómez Mendieta hehehehe!!!!epic comment😂😂
Bruce's vocals on this album is amazing.
you are very accurate my friend
Although I prefer Bruce's operatic, powerful voice in the 80's and later parts of the 90's, he sounds awesome in No Prayer For the Dying and Fear of the Dark albums too! Bruce has ALWAYS sounded amazing!!! 🤘🤘
Yes!!

@@thewildbruce5612 Fact
Powerful vocals, insane riff, mind-blowing guitar solo... Only Maiden can give you this.
not only Maiden bro...
powerful vocals? Black Sabbath
insane riffs? Metallica
mind blowing guitar solos? Megadeth
Maiden and Judas
Pantera
And Judas and Accept
There are times I see metallica can't get even close that band.
Criminally underrated song
Criminally underrated album (as is the one in your Avatar-sadly Killers is the bands least favorite album which is why Wrathchild is the only song they play live). Fear Of The Dark was my first Maiden album in 1993, and while not my favorite album it is one of the ones I'm most fond of as far as memories go.
BTW, it's the band's least favorite because of the problems they were having with Paul at the time. It has to do more with bad memories than anything else.
Akseli Janhunen Yes, on that Autograph-Turn Up The Radio comment :D
Akseli Janhunen I can say you like good music
you are so right...
One of the greatest heavy metal masterpieces in human history ❤
So Powerful, So Brutal, So Heavy
Rock
brutal killer metal🥰👏🙌😃😌🌸🍀✨🎵☆!
@CVM GAM WRONG!!!
@CVM GAM This is not poor singing. And there's nothing cheesy about no trusting government. The day not trusting government becomes cheesy - is the beginning of the end.
@@mathewstovell5167 we already there then my friend =(
This song makes me wanna go to work and tell my boss he's fired
Andrebbe prima preso a calci in culo. 😉🤟
Superb !!!
you should take an axe? fnd tell him "quick? or be dead"!))
Tell him to give your compensation quick or he'll be dead.
Do it
Most iron maiden fans want to see the band play this song live again 🤘🤘
I was lucky to have seen it live as the opening track live in Wembley Arena 1993 and it blew your ears off with amazing sound quality.
@@stewartwest347 lucky! I hope next time they play they can do it
I was searching a live version of the song but too bad they dont play this live no more.
I'd absolutely totally agree with you an absolute classic timeless classic
Iron Maiden Forever ❤
Dave Mustaine's favorite Iron Maiden songs!
No wonder, this could probably pass as a thrash metal song.
Underrated comment
HarvesterOfShadows I’ll let it pass
my too
janickgers🥰とbrucedickinson🥰との共作抜にしてもironmaiden🥰でtop級の名曲👏🙌です😃🤘👌☆。
when i heard this track back in 1992 i was blown away
Nicko’s drum intro hits so hard and powerful
and Bruce's entrance vocals make your blood boil
One of the best Maiden songs ever!!!!
My Dad used to sings this song to me everyday before i go to school 😂
Your dad taught you well.
Hahah
Superb!!! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro!!!
Dad of the Decade
😂😂👍👍👍
God save the Iron Maiden
Can't
Fabio Mazza jejeje
Questa era arte!!!
Kkkkkkk
Is your name stupid?
I'm 51 and just now discovering all of Iron maidens music! Imagine that!
Better late than Never, right!!??
You're in for one hell of a ride 🤘🏻
This song is so 2023 global bankers are enslaving us to the core!
Well.....kids.....this is heavy metal as it should be :-)
Pure, clean, direct heavy metal
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
too speed to be just heavy.
95% of "pure, clean" heavy metal music sucks.
For clean heavy metal go listen to Van Halen or Def Leppard. lol
"Be Quick Or Be Dead" is speed metal
@@iangillan1296 😆😆 idiot.
@@iangillan1296 still learning
Bruce repping his Rob Halford vocals on this one!! Brutal
more like ian gillan
Chinpoko Master Ian Gillian no way
@IvotallicA grossss
no
@@ChimpScape agree. Reminds me of ian gillan's style and sound sometimes.
I swear there's no voice like Bruce's voice in metal, especially the way he can quickly change the scale
There are some, I should say....being a huge fan of the Maiden myself.
Geoff Tate and Neil Turbin to name a few
Check out the Brazil band ‘Icon of Sin’, he’s as close to Bruce as I’ve ever heard
@@davesiddons8921 His name is Raphael Mendes and he sounds like a younger Bruce
If it is not MAIDEN,it cannot sound like Maiden! These r d real monsters of METAL; up Iron!!!
R.I.P Jon Schnepp
the business man extra for this clip.
A great man, a comic book creator, documentaries, cartoons and more.
Stay sweaty my man, we love you!
Aw fuck, that's so sad :((
@@dinopipasworld9516 yeah it was :\\\
What timestamp can we see him at?
@@darazandi5939 you can see him throughout the clip
hardly an extra, he's the only fucking guy in the video, and he is acting.
Without a doubt, Iron Maiden is unanimous. One of the best metal bands (or whatever label they give you). I'm 65 years old and in my youth I enjoyed great bands, and I met Iron Maiden
Sempre migliori
This is real maiden .
Best metal group in the world seen them live 7 times and they still going
Most underrated Iron Maiden song of all time.
the theme song for when you shut the lights and try to run to bed before the boogieman.
lucky me, i live in israel
kjn5991
I thought of was the theme song for the charade, corrupt elections we have in The States (and elsewhere)
"the serpent is crawling inside of your ear
he says you must vote for what you want to hear
don't matter what's wrong, as long as you're alright
PULL YOURSELF STUPID, ROB YOURSELF BLIND"
Same here .. lol \ m /
How "cute", but it is all in your head, for as long as you have your fear you will always be subservient slave to "god", it all begins in your head. Ignorance and fear is "god's" tool to steal your soul in this lifetime.
As stupid as that sounds,
it IS on the "Fear Of The Dark" album...
This song deserves more recognition
This whole albums a gem!
@@notramesses4790 Yeah except The apparition and Weekend warrior
When you want pure heavy metal the only source you go for is Iron Maiden.
Nothing like Iron Maiden !!!!! 🤘🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This song is faster and heavier than most Iron Maiden songs, and is the band's first single co-written by Janick Gers, and it is all about the greed and corruption of the democratic system. Politicians do dodgy deals with the rich that screw up a lot of people. If you’re not quick, you’ll end up dead, either figuratively or literally. It was the first single from the album. The title was inspired by a passage (2 Timothy 4:1) in the Bible.
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Covered in sinners and dripping with guilt
Making you money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers
[Chorus]
You got to watch them
Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in Heaven
The thief's in your head
You've got to watch them
Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in Heaven
The thief in your head
Be quick or be dead
Be quick, quick, quick, quick
Or be dead, dead, dead, dead
[Bridge]
See what's ruling all our lives
See who's pulling the strings
See what's ruling all our lives
See who pulls the strings
I bet you won't fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place
[Verse 2]
The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He says you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind
[Chorus]
Be quick or be dead
Be quick, quick, quick, quick
Or be dead, dead, dead, dead
[Chorus]
Be quick... or be dead!
Be quick!
ROCK & METAL MUSIC LOVER i didn’t know the facts behind the lyrics, thank you for the lyrics and information! That’s a great song!
@@lukeskywalker6985 You're welcome!😎🤘
The corruption of the democratic system? I guess they where way ahead of our time.
The Family on Netflix. That's what it be.
Pretty sure Janick was a co writer on maidens first number 1 "bring your daughter to the slaughter".the album before
Long Life Iron Maiden 💪
Bellissima parte alla grande e continua strepitosa 🎸💯👍 fino alla fine perfetta up up the iron Maiden patrimonio dell'umanità heavy metal e non solo
The greatest interpretation of the greatest metal singer of all the times. This is completely INSANE.
No, he is epic but surely not greatest
@@user-pf7qg9lc6p James Hetfield! When someone thinks metal they definitely think Metallica

Be quick (quick, quick, quick)

You've got to watch them
Be quick or be dead

I always considered this song as the very definition of heavy metal
Omggg this guitarist 🎸 and Bruce’s vocals 🎤 I’m dead 💀

Music is my God, and if there is evil in men, then let the music prevail 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Oh wow Bruce in that outfit....There is a God!
CATCHY.......the tension and raw force of the music, dazzling lyrics, their furious and passionate performance, the blistering solos, all of it....Stunning guys !!!
This is Iron Maiden!!!
These riffs, these musicians, it's HUGE 🤘🤘, I hope I have the chance to see them play one day 🤘🤘
The was a UK TV show in the 90's called "The Chart Show" that played music videos. When this came out, it said that it was the number 1 record of the week!
This would mean that Iron Maiden have had 2 number 1 records in the UK!
1 official 1 with "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter".
And 1 unofficial with "Be Quick Or Be Dead"!
Up The Irons!
🤘🏻
Uma das melhores músicas do Iron Maiden 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Simply the Best Band Ever.
アイアンメイデンで一番好きな曲。
30年以上前になるんですね、でもカッコええ曲は色褪せない!!
another underrated song
+Julio Rivera the fact that English is not your first language is probably why you typed that response I didn't say anything negative about Iron Maiden they are my favorite band
+Tony Lerino It`s really upsetting that it is!
I am sorry how exactly is this underrated? This is a frequent number in the setlist... and I have not come across anyone who says this one is a bad song from FotD.
NEVER heard it on the air or at any of their shows, but that's just me
Cause if it wasn't underrated the world would be in the streets so... Yeah best if it stays underrated.
Iron Maiden = Heavy Metal - PERIOD!
Wonderful😀. Up the Irons!!!
iron maiden the best
Best Iron Maiden music video
truth
I like Holy Smoke
nah that title goes to Holy Smoke.
Rock com Legendas personally I prefer from here to eternity,gotta love Charlotte the Harlot
Rock com Legendas iron maiden is the best
This was when Iron Maiden knew how to write high energy songs. It’s been a long time.
Bruce is number one ❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song. It's been crushing it since release. And Nicko's kit here..🤩
Treinta años han pasado ya, pero sigue sonando bestial. En mi humilde opinión Fear es un trabajo muy completo.
Será bestial eternamente 🤘🤘
Se rapido o estaras muerto , la mejor banda de metal de todos los tiempos , pude verlo en 2004 en argentina tremendo fue ese show , saludos desde argentina
Aguante boca lcdsm
Anche eterno capitano Javier Zanetti è spettacolare non solo come giocatore anche come persona, umanamente ricca 🌹👍💯❤️☀️😁⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙

Perfection
If you look past the top 5 songs from Iron Maiden, you'll find even more gems
Ai sim metal bom
Yeh, like about the next 100 of them:)
Which are supposed to be the top 5 tho??
@@panospanos9574 I can think of The Trooper, Hallowed By Thy Name, The Number Of The Beast, 2 Minutes to Midnight and Aces High. I think these are the most popular but c'mon is sooo hard to like only 5 songs of them hahah
@@Aurum7 Wasted Years
This is one of their most heaviest songs imo.
Yes, they haven't really made a song that had this balls to the wall heaviness since. Shame really.
They scratched the thrash surface with this song.
Endlich Mal vernünftig Music!!!
This song deserves more Views and Likes. It's fucking killer track!
U're right! The best!
Magical
speedkillertrack🥰👏🙌😃🤘👌☆!
It is a totally badass cut. Then again, pretty much anything Iron Maiden releases kicks ass.
Criminally underrated album.
That vocal at 1:50 the way he sings that and the part after is so full of attitude and energy. Love it!!!! Dont matter whats wrong, as long as your alright. Why you so stupid why you so blind!!
From what we've been experiencing in the entire world at these last years... The lyrics of this song it has a way more explicit meaning today than in 1992. But it's a pity that people lose themselves fighting against each other, defending ideologies, accusing and making enemies intead of looking up.
A melhor banda de metal de todos os tempos
Yes
Priest .
Mas o maiden é foda .
