Minor quibble "veterans' imply that they served in the forces on which none of them have,and besides Maiden would tell them to go f*%# themselves!! Up the Irons!!!
very easy to play. That song was very easy in build and that made her unique. For me is the Masterpiece like Alexander the Great or The Clansman. One of the epic heavy metal songs ever made!!
Same here, funnily enough it was on a YTMND that showcased the solos....odd place to find it, but there you go. These two specific solos on this version of the song. After that the floodgates opened.
Bruce definitely took this song as if it were made for him to sing. Same thing with the Klansman...He did a fabulous job. Cant remember too many times when a vocalist was able to own another vocalists song like that. And no one does it as well as Bruce has. Bruce nailed Runnin Free...and Wrath Child when he took over vocals from Paul...And then this from Blaze...Its incredible...
@@jameskolak4017 Ummm....Why? That's the way they spell it over at the Aryan Brotherhood Church ...they blast that song every Sunday night....I love maiden as much as the next guy but I had to call the cops it was ridiculous the sings along my god.. But turns out the cops were all members attending the services soooo now I get pulled over and searched all the time.. ....jk
And 17 years later they performed it just as insanely brilliant....theese guys are the EPITOME of metal NO doubt what so ever, they don´t produce classics anymore, they produce IMMORTALS....they are so superior to other metal bands that it´s frightening....NO ONE else even comes close...
Ils ont trouvés leurs inspirations , dans les contes et légendes , du moyen âge . Une très belle époque , pour l'inspiration musicale . Avec des voix , des coeurs , et bien-sûr le métal . Très bon solo de batterie, et guitares. C'est vraiment du bon Iron Maden , merci Dickinson pour la fin
I remember being 16 or 17 and simply played Maiden to upset my parents and be rebellious. The louder, the darker the better, period. But only at 53 at present is it that I start to appreciate how much depth the music and lyrics have and how bloody extraordinary this band of men truly is.
@@voyeurlove I was too young then to really appreciate what I was listening too. I guess it takes a certain age to really appreciate the finer things in life. Wisdom come with age, doesn't it? And now, after having been an anglophile for many years, it is that I see how many great British traditions come together in Maiden songs: storytelling, elements of folk music, a fascination with ghostly things and legend.
Toni Arnau Check out Blaze's latest version of this song. on his acoustic album "Russian holliday", which he recorded with Thomas Zwijsen. It kicks ass. Cheers!
Milos Milosavljevic Bruce is king, but this is the only song that I prefer Blaze. Except the part of the chorus, blaze cannot sing it because he doesnt have a high voice like Bruce does. Can you imagine a performance of this song with Blaze singing the beginning of the song and Bruce singing the chorus? would be amazing!
It would be awesome, indeed. What bothers me with Blaze's original version is not his vocal range, but, chorus is kinda annoying, flat, irritating, soulless. Makes my ears hurt. Just my impression. Bruce brings more heart to it. In general I don't compare the two of them. Both are awesome, I prefer Bruce, of course. And the other song, which I prefer with Bruce's singing is The Clansman.
In my opinion, out of all songs from Blaze era, this one is the best of all. The Clansman seems to be more popular, and I love it totally as it comes, but this one is my very favorite! What a giant...
No disrespect meant to Blaze, but Bruce's lower register and full chest voice is so much stronger and his upper register is just so powerful. His vocal phrasing as he transitions through the song's low and high notes, maintaining that vibrato throughout and then holding that final ending with the note changes is amazing. For me, the song may have been written with Blaze's vocal range and styling in mind, but Bruce just owns it and makes it his live. This of course, just an old man's humble opinion and is not meant to be disrespectful to Blaze or anyone on here. And, as always the guitar work remains excellent as always, especially the technical talents of Dave and the stage presentation of all three guitarists. Nicko's drumming and percussive talents are always superb and Steve Harris is, in my humble opinion, one of the best bass guitar players in the world. Have a great weekend.
Mike as far as i know, this song was written for Bruce's voice, before his departure from Maiden.. It was the first song written after Fear of the Dark, and Bruce was still in Maiden..
Agis Tournis...In America, it was first released on "The X Factor" album on 10-2-1995, which was the first American album Blaze sang lead on. It is possible that there could have been other releases in other countries with different track listings so you could be right. Either way, it's an awesome song and I love Bruce's vocal interpretation and phrasing. He covers his vocal register so effortlessly, especially at the lower end. Thanks for posting with me. Take care.
Arcanuman1 That´s really a good thing, I respect Bruce a bit more because of it , But the fact remains, Blaze really is a very good singer too, their registers are different, but the both of them are splendid singers.....
ZealSeraph Unfortunately it is, to me the singer of Iron Maiden is Bruce, but I still appreciate Blaze´s era, I think he has a brilliant voice, and the deeper, lower register really is very good...........
It's 2017, and I still watch this in shitty 240p quality and I couldn't care less! The song is epic, the band is epic and Iron Maiden kicks ass! Up the fucking Irons!!
Amazing Bruce Dickinson vocals! Love this song,Close your eyes and just listen to each of the magnificent of each member talent! This is called real heart felt music, and this is why Iron Maiden is the number one best metal band ever!Thank you ❤
Iron maiden saved my life ! I'm blessed, and I thank all their musicians with their musical inclined talent every day I can THE BEST BAND FOREVER FOR ME ! Thank you ;Up the Irons 💯❤
This is one of those songs that I didn't realise how good it was because of the album it's on. Then Bruce started singing it live and the guitars had a heavier sound and the atmosphere of the crowd all gave it a new lease of life.
"Sign Of The Cross" Eleven saintly shrouded men Silhouettes stand against the sky One in front with a cross held high Come to wash my sins away Standing alone in the wind and rain Feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again Brought by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold off the fear Some of the doubts in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test Nothing to do but await what is coming Why then is god still protecting me Even when I don't deserve it Thought I am blessed with an inner strength Some they would call it a penance Why am I meant to face this alone Asking the question time and again Praying to god won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear start to rise... They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes There'll be penace to pay when it's judgement day And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away The sign of the cross The name of the rose, a fire in the sky The sign of the cross They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding communion so the world be blessed My creator, my god'll lay my soul to rest The sign of the cross The name of the rose, a fire in the sky The sign of the cross Lost the love of heaven above Chose the lust of the earth below Eleven saintly shrouded men Came to wash my sins away

E pensar sobre as músicas que fazem sucesso no Brasil de hoje, ou mesmo em outros países como Estados Unidos (ainda que num outro patamar)... Triste. Bandas como Maiden revigoram qualquer cenário, além é claro de Sepultura, Sarcófago, Krisiun, Angra, olhando o Brasil.
Just listen......you feel the vibes, don´t you ??? The grandeur and splendor of this empiric masterpiece is unbelievable, aswell as their impeccable performance. Honestly theese guys are second to none, and PURE MAGIC was created on that stage....
This is what I like about Iron Maiden. Many other bands, if they were in post-reunion Maiden's shoes, would simply forget the material during the Blaze era. But Maiden didn't. So glad songs like this and The Clansman are still played to this day.
The greatest metal band ever period. They play so fucking effortless and these are cray tough arrangements. Seen them over 20 times and they never disappoint. Like good scotch they improve with age.. Life saving music right here ...

This exceeds all limits of what has been done until today in the world of Music. It is the maximum !!! Ladies and gentlemen, we are facing one of the best or best Iron Maiden Masterpieces and in the history of metal 😍🤘❤️🇪🇦 🇬🇧
Dave just shows in this song how technical he can be with the guitar, cause most of the time he doesnt show... because he doesnt have to... his solos are about melody and not fucking SHOW OFF...
Brian Smith one of them for sure. Then you have hollowed be thy name, 7th son of a 7th son, Paschendale, dance of death, Alexander the Great, Children of the Damned...see where I’m going with this ....
Iron Maiden is the best band in this world. I am fan of Iron Maiden since 2018 year, still I am. UP THE IRONS FROM CZECH REPUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY this EPIC MASTERPIECE, has been brought back to life !! Their performance is absolutely spellbinding as ever, and this golden jem is all the proof you need, theese guys are the EPITOME of metal, no doubt what so ever !! And this time I´ll BE THERE, and that will surely be A MOMENT TO TREASURE !!!!
I rarely prefer listening to a band's live version over the studio version, but Iron Maiden's Birmingham 1988 and Rio 2001 are bloody amazing.
Studio version has a different lead singer. Live is Bruce Dickinson. Better than Blaze IMO
This isn’t a song - it’s a musical masterpiece.
I'm agree with You,
I just disliked my own like given a few years ago. Corrected immediately..
Steve Harris garanzia assoluta strepitose chitarre ben affilate cantano alla grande 😁😁😁😁🙏🙏
yeeeeeehh!
Amen !
Best song of the Blaze era, and I love how Maiden didn't ignore that part of the band's history here.
They played songs from that Era on the last tour and are still playing them to my knowledge
Yea they also played The Clansman at this gig
@@TWCAlex802 I'm talking about their 2019 - 2022 tour
@@Vorticy135 Yup, saw them a week ago. Both this and The Clansman are still on the setlist to this day!

This song should be preserved somehow, its beyond a masterpiece!!
Bruce took this song to the next level i love these drum intro omg
Listen to the into to Alexander the Great, this intro instantly reminded me of that
wow 🤟🙌 .
Damn right it's one of their greatest songs. Dave's solo is absolutely insane, one of the best things I've ever heard from him.
Agreed. And, Jan's solo feeds right off of his. I also always liked Dave's solo in "Killers". He is such an underrated guitarist.
They are still playing this flawlessly. We are living the the Golden Years.
"Sooo understand, the wasted time keep living in those Wasted Years! And realize your living I'm the "GOLDEN YEARS!!" "
Maiden should be in Guinness Book Of Records as the most energetic veterans that ever live!!
Yeah let's see the Stones do this
How menny 60 plus people do you know that can run around like these guys not to menny !

Yeah , i think solo, since Brave new world Bruce take that fenomenal voice.
listening to Maiden is better than having an orgasm 😮❤
those Maiden feels
I much prefer Blazes voice on this song because it makes it more heavy and dark.
La de Blaze es mejor.
One of the greatest bands in history.
The Fweepo I completely agree, Their absolutely brilliant music and totally mindblowing lyrics makes them the one and only....They are priceless......

Dave Murray genius!! Fantastic 7:50
This song has everything Maiden is. Power, dynamics, melody, tempos, feels, solos. It has it all💪😉🤘
Dave and Janick's solos are so amazing in this song
Janick doing his thing
Agreed, they are fucking legendary and these two specific solos were the ones that helped me discover the awesome of Maiden.

Can you even imagine a world without Iron Maiden? That would totally suck. The world would be a sad, sorry place.

You're right my friend

One of their truly underrated songs, powerful and amazing.
"So how many different rhythms this song gonna have?"
Iron Maiden: "Yes"
Bruce owns this song! Blaze is goooood, but Bruce......? Brings this song to heaven.

"Sign Of The Cross"
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Silhouettes stand against the sky
One in front with a cross held high
Come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Brought by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubts in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming
Why then is god still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it
Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to god won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...
They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penace to pay when it's judgement day
And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes
They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose, a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
They'll be bringing us all immortality
Holding communion so the world be blessed
My creator, my god'll lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose, a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away

Come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Brought by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubts in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming
Why then is god still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it
Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to god won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...
They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penace to pay when it's judgement day
And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes
They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose, a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
They'll be bringing us all immortality
Holding communion so the world be blessed
My creator, my god'll lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose, a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away
Up the irons
Yeah!! Love it ;) Up The IRONS
Makes you wonder how Blayze was able to breathe!!
@@lamentis3025 thank GOD Bruce can..
Oh, if I could back in time, I was at this concert , it was just perfect!!!
I have this DVD and CD.....fan from Brazil
Iron maiden at their best i m hyped about thisong
melhor banda de todos os tempos
Mano, ouço esses velhos desde 1995, e até hoje me arrepio com o som deles. Foi através deles que eu conheci o que era música de verdade.
E pensar sobre as músicas que fazem sucesso no Brasil de hoje, ou mesmo em outros países como Estados Unidos (ainda que num outro patamar)... Triste. Bandas como Maiden revigoram qualquer cenário, além é claro de Sepultura, Sarcófago, Krisiun, Angra, olhando o Brasil.
Caraca velho eu tbm através deles q conheci música de vdd
Just listen......you feel the vibes, don´t you ??? The grandeur and splendor of this empiric masterpiece is unbelievable, aswell as their impeccable performance. Honestly theese guys are second to none, and PURE MAGIC was created on that stage....
5:14 Take a drink everytime Dave adjusts his guitar
... and drink everytime Bruce raises his arm :D nice idea of a drinking game :D
+heavyrocknroll you'd be absolutely smashed after one song
+heavyrocknroll every time steve sings a long with a song 😂
ist real rock n roll
OR every time nicko says hi mom lol
The Sign of the cross , um clássico, uma das músicas mãos inteligentes do Iron, top demais.😊
This is what I like about Iron Maiden. Many other bands, if they were in post-reunion Maiden's shoes, would simply forget the material during the Blaze era. But Maiden didn't. So glad songs like this and The Clansman are still played to this day.
Love how it rocks then suddenly almost stops to a haunting section then picks up to rock again ... Dave n Nicko nail this song !
The greatest metal band ever period. They play so fucking effortless and these are cray tough arrangements. Seen them over 20 times and they never disappoint. Like good scotch they improve with age.. Life saving music right here ...
David Carrafiello They not only saves lives, they saves your sanity aswell.......Downright stunning.....

Eleven saintly shrouded men
Silhouettes stand against the sky
One in front with a cross held high
Come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Caught by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubt in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming
Why then is God still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it
Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to God won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise
They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day
And the guilty'll bleed when the moment comes
They'll be coming to claim
Take your soul away
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
They'll be bringing us all immortality
Holding communion so the world be blessed
My creator my God, lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross, yeah
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away

Eu estava lá, foi inesquecível!!!!essa música é muito Boa!!!
By far the best band in the world.
So many intricate tempo changes here.. nicko is a freaking beast..
Dave just shows in this song how technical he can be with the guitar, cause most of the time he doesnt show... because he doesnt have to... his solos are about melody and not fucking SHOW OFF...
+metalkez He whole band seems pretty focused here
Goes for all the guys really, excellent musicianship!
Not the prancing twat
