@@raidrfrk i was on i think 12 Irons concerts, and u must believe taht Bruce is still running on stage no matter is he 40 30 or 60 years old. He still does it. Also Steve hahaha, and Nicko's smile. just i got to say that Maidens are goats. UP 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!!
It gives me chills when Steve and Dave play together in the middle section. These guys have been tight for four decades and neither have ever strayed from the band. Maiden is deep in their blood and they are deep in its.
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...........
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.
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.
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.....
+Brian Duff Such a brilliant band deserve more awards recognition, do they not? Let's get them some: www.change.org/p/brit-awards-british-phonographic-industry-give-iron-maiden-s-the-book-of-souls-a-best-album-nomination
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 ....
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...
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
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!!
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.
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...
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.
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 😍🤘❤️🇪🇦 🇬🇧
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...
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of course, I love and admire ALL of them, Dave really can blow everything out off the water, I were only describing my own feelings towards Janick, he always have and will forever be my favourite....
I'm sooooo accustomed to Rock in Rio that when i see Maiden nowadays, i sometimes go, oh i wish he played the solo the RIR way, or why didnt bruce shout this or that during whatever song. e.g the clansman - "ALRIGHT fucking scream it!" i expect it and when it doesnt come im like, oh yeah that was only RIR! loool
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.
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 ❤

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.
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..
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
@@Thegamer10113 Yup, saw them a week ago. Both this and The Clansman are still on the setlist to this day!
@@Thegamer10113 you 6y5 six 5
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.
6 Million years alive, and we happen to be born in an era that shares it with Iron Maiden. Just think for a minute how lucky we are.
This song should be preserved somehow, its beyond a masterpiece!!
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......
Así es
One of???? Like ... no.They are CLEARLY the best. There is no contest.
The best
The greatest
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 !
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!!!

@@garymurphy8703 totally agree man
This is probably one of the best live performances ever done. Bruce made the original version sound like a high schools band. Damn dude beastly
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.
It is imposible to define wich Maiden song is the best, for now this is the best, until you listen another and so on
Happens to me every day. Today is Alexander The Great.
I fucking agree! And that is included when it come to fab bands.
Edit: Maiden is the best band in the fucking universe
@@alexromero6203 deffo to that matey - UP THE IRONS!!!
I know what you mean!

7:18 What a riff!! This song is pure masterpiece. So underrated
TheFrayedEndsOfSanity 01 underrated, by whom ?? Not by any true Iron Maiden fan, that´s for sure !!
It´s my alarm clock😁
Hell Yeah!!!
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!!
before that, the drum setup is super good
Dickinson the greatest come back in history.
It gives me chills when Steve and Dave play together in the middle section. These guys have been tight for four decades and neither have ever strayed from the band. Maiden is deep in their blood and they are deep in its.
And so are we!! Up the Irons!!
Seeing Adrian carry the rhythm in the middle section when Dave and Janick are playing the leads gives me chills!!
this song is underrated
Daniel Muniz totally..
so 5.4 million views is underrated i heavily beg to differ with your statement
whatever \m/ Up THE IRONS \M/
I agree. Deep, powerful lyrics, great tempo. This, Fear of the Dark and The Evil Than Men Do are where it's at for me
The whole Blaze era is.
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...........
Can you even imagine a world without Iron Maiden? That would totally suck. The world would be a sad, sorry place.
exactly, so sad and bory place
My life would have been half without Maiden.
The world would be a terrible place without Iron Maiden!!! Sign Of The Cross is absolutely epic, with Bruce or Blaze, either or.
You're right my friend

8:47 Most epic riff ever
But the melody at 7:30 is like "God put woofers on my ears and never stop playing this melody" :D
8:47 is the best moment

yeees hahaha best moment 7:30... explosion in my brain...
Pure Maiden.....The soul of Steve Harris....Moment.
FreeYourMind and thank you for the soul of Steve Harris....
i agree
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 🤟🙌 .
we're lucky to have 2 versions of this song, both are splendid.
Now there are 3
Innniiittt? Lol
Aye, verily!
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!!" "
Bruce owns this song! Blaze is goooood, but Bruce......? Brings this song to heaven.
Blaze is bad.
Well, I must agree with you. Blaze is a damn good singer, but to this one, Bruce brings more emotions and soul.
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!

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.
Dave Murray genius!! Fantastic 7:50
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.

I've always loved Dickinson for not writing off this material, as a lot of singers do with albums they weren't on.
preach! I wish Ozzy sang Heaven or Hell, but he won't, arrogant prick...
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.....
Yeah, I've never liked how Judas Priest just pretend the Owens albums don't exist, they are weak albums, but they had some good songs on them
Well then we wouldnt hear Iron Maiden every night would we?
Arcanuman and today, 2018 they brought it back to life, more splendid and brilliantly performed, as ever !!
"So how many different rhythms this song gonna have?"
Iron Maiden: "Yes"
Janick's solo here is incredible. So, so good.
This is the greatest song ever. Ever.
8:47 is the most happy and powerful moment on music.
A metal symphony for eternity.

"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

I listen to live version of sign of the cross. Number of the beast and dream mirrors perfect sound coming from good speakers in a car.
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
Up the irons
Yeah!! Love it ;) Up The IRONS
Makes you wonder how Blayze was able to breathe!!

Heard it live last night in Sofia. Best part of a great show. I'm feeling quite better now.
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.
7:50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best solo ever...
