Good metal is good music regardless of genre shift. Likewise, good music is good metal when played in a metal style. E.g. most of Leo Moracchioli's metal covers. Metal is a very inclusive genre.
It's actually amazing to hear this sound so genuinely like it was written this way while not sounding like a "version" or effecting the quality of the original. Excellent!
I think Metal Pilgrim stated in a recent video that the song was originally written as a ballad before the band changed it to the way it was recorded on the album.
@@metalmanny666 It was a Devin Townsend song, Kate Bush song, Dolly Parton, Pink Floyd, etc. I don't remember the rest but don't think there was any Ayreon. She opened for Amorphis and Delain.
Waouh she makes it hers, awesome, as a big fan of iron maiden, I found that this cover really brings something new and excellent. And her voice is so sweet and beautyfull 💖 congratulations to her 👏👏👏👏
Dear Anneke, you are covering one of the best and most profund metal songs ever. Great job, I love it!
One of Adrian Smith's best compositions.
Fully agree!!!
Love it but she did not compose it
@@tomcavanaugh9957 Adrian Smith is a man, at least at the moment.
Likely his best. Iconic.
Not one of, simply the best Adrian Smith's song.
I'm a big Iron Maiden fan and Metalhead from the 80's and absolutely loved this cover \w/
Makes You Smile doesn"t it ❤ Happy Cover this is 🙏
Check out Ian Zumbach’s acoustic cover from 2021. Unique take, very cool!!
She's just a gift to us all ....i love her so much .
Totally agree. She is just so so precious.
Back in line ,gents , I am the first one !
😎😎🙏
I don't know how I came upon this video or who this lovely, talented woman is, but I'm really happy I found it!
Anneke van Giersbergen is basically the 'founder' of female-fronted metal, was the singer of The Gathering. She's metal royalty.
Love how Anneke is so just unpretensious and just loves music for what it is and joins it because she loves it!
you know it's a good song when you can good from hard to soft and it still sounds that good

This Iron Maiden fan LOVES your rendition! ❤️🤘
As an Iron Maiden fan i'm very very happy and proud of this interpretation of Wasted Years..GREAT \m/
Iron Maiden fan from the 80s here, and I love her and this version.

If anything, the lyrics lend themselves even more to a soft acoustic. Makes it an introspective song.

@@Mountfailmore Oh ok, I've learned something today, thanks man.

She's brilliant. I was blessed to see her live performing this in October 2022.
Did she perform any Ayreon songs?

Cuando una canción te pone los pelos de punta, siendo la versión que sea, por algo será....no se que tendrá, pero es mi canción

Indeed, didn't expect that from Anneke.
Ryan Adams does a great acoustic version of Wasted Years.
