Closest influencies in my opinion: -Donkey kong, Rampage and crazy climber for the first game refering to golden age arcade era. -Robocop Vs Terminator for virgin, as it looks in the megadrive/Snes, including the lighting effect of the bullets on eddie's face as it flashes on Robocop's face. -Mortal kombat (of course) -Mainly Doom and maybe some Hexen for the egoshooter, amongo other influneces. as the last game on the 3d age. don't you think?
I still want these Games. Can we please have a fund to totally pay it aggressively into reality? Personally, as a gamer I so much feel the spirit behind this and also some nostalgia and it would haunt me till my last breath, not having played something like that D:
"I think you'll have a lot of fun, going through frame by frame, you know, see what you figure out" So, who is doing that? He totally hid 1 frame Easter eggs in there.
Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!!!!!!!! Up the Irons!!!!!!!!!!(Iron Maiden's new album, "The Book of Souls", is being released on 9/4) Upon viewing this new video, I had to concentrate on suppressing some mildly negative vibes of illogical metal snobbery. I couldn't force myself to jump for joy as the "gaming" theme of the video quickly presented itself. I found myself being annoyed at myself for feeling annoyed. It's not like I haven't enjoyed participating in video games, Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat, Guitar Hero, Grand Theft Auto, and dare I say, I did, in fact, dabble in the World of Warcraft as an Orc Shaman long ago. So I had to take a brief moment to examine the evidence and figure out the source and meaning of my reaction. I can say with genuine sincerity that music videos are essentially meaningless to me. I'm just interested in the music. When I listen to music, I have this knee-jerk instinct to evaluate a potpourri of variables to assess my overall satisfaction. Does listening to it bring me joy? Does it provoke those indescribable, yet completely tangible physical and emotional responses that satiate this inherently primal void from the depths of my soul, that which only music can fulfill? Does it communicate a creative story or a message that is aligned with truth? Whether it is literal, figurative,metaphorical, symbolic, blatant, subtle, intentional, or unintentional, does it serve me in a way that is useful? There are infinite ways that music is useful to me, whether it is to calm me down, pump me up, deal with traffic, provide an outlet for dramatic nonsensical silliness, a spontaneous moment of clarity or confusion that facilitates analytical examination of a past/present/future situation, or a philosophical reassessment of knowledge? All lovely things, but nothing tops a vibration that compels me to bang my head and throw my fists in the air. Have you ever listened to music and threw your hands into the air, thinking of absolutely nothing except the word "YES!" It's one of the best feelings in the world. Just thinking about it right now can move me to tears if I allow it. But, back to this here video.. Well.... I LOVE the old maiden music videos SO much, so maybe nostalgia began to sabotage my ability to enjoy this video with an open mind. Luckily, I've trained myself to identify and destroy those momentary lapses of pompous judgmental criticism. I guess the verdict at the moment is that I felt like embracing a video game thing is a "sell out" of sorts. I am ashamed to admit such a thing, because I realize now that is a bullshit miscalculation. SO! This obnoxiously long and self-centered preamble must come to an end, so that I can explain the extent of my dumb bitch bullshit. Bottom line: I love the song, I love the video. It's a job well done, and it completely speaks for itself. Iron Maiden never apologizes for any creative decisions they make. They are proud of the music that began their extraordinary cultural enterprise and genius historical contributions but always excited to evolve and transform through time, making fearless changes and always STILL miraculously BEING Iron FUCKING Maiden. AND!!!!!! They could not POSSIBLY care less if any slight deviation to their style "bothers" a so-called fan. Seeing the evolution of Eddie and all the symbolism that carried me through memories of the band that came to fruition before I was born, all the way up to the here and now. On this day as I feel this somewhat spiritual connection to EDDIE. This video is a tribute to Eddie, who for me, isn't just a bad ass mascot, but something else. He's this THING. I guess he is the personification of the relationship between music and my heart. The relationship between music and my heart that has guided me through different paths in life, and most importantly, it carried me through the darkest of times when I had to pretend to be strong when I was broken. If you love or have ever loved Iron Maiden, your passion for the band will replenished. It's so invigorating to be reminded of why Iron Maiden is so special to me. Up the Irons!!!!!
Why have you guys changed Eddie's teeth? I mean, the majority of Eddie's drawings I've seen (specially the old ones) have the long canine teeth. In my mind, it was something characteristic from Eddie. From whom came the idea of changing it?
fuck it, i ship the fuck out of an Eddie based game. im going to make this video into an actual game, with different teams of graphic designers to show others the story of Eddie and what hes been through from the beginning, til present day.. but first, im contacting Boon
Jointer They already made a video game in the 90s called Ed Hunter. It was terrible. The fear that something will become "mainstream" is a terrible reason not to do it. Great things become mainstream all the time.
I'm talking about lil wayn, miley cirys, jb and shit like that. Not Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden are not mainstream, metal isn't mainstream. Maybe Iron Maiden are mainstream in the metal community, but I'm talking about all genres of music.
Ayoub Minen Iron Maiden regularly feature in the charts of all genres, receive awards that are awarded to recipients of all genres, and are acclaimed by critics in the mainstream press. I would probably say Maiden are more of an enormous cult phenomenon, but it wouldn't be hard to argue they have achieved mainstream success especially in the last 10 years. And, again, your opinion of mainstream music isn't really any kind of argument as to why to be mainstream is supposedly a negative. Do you feel the same way about mainstream books, films, and television shows?
maiden are very old and they dont want to give up their factory of $$. The videoclip was once more rediculous, just look the left hand on the gun in 05:35 it looks tragic, not a trace of human anatomy. I have always been a huge fan and a collector since my childhood years but now its the time for maiden to call it quits and retire just for the sake of their history. I am not gonna mention anyhing about the song which is one of the worst maiden have ever composed and Bruce's voice simply sucks
arrasar Sorry, maybe you should retire yourself from Maiden in that case. There are literally MILLIONS of us around the globe that are happy that his band is still active.
Eddie for Mortal Kombat DLC!
Soulr B Let me see... best idea EVER!
Amen!!!
YES!
+Soulr B #eddieMKX
+Soulr B dont give these developers any more stupid ideas!!!

+Ryan Macher Bruce's screams
Please license Eddie to Midway put him on Mortal Kombat, or Riot put him on League, etc...
Danyel Perão Midway doesn't exist no more, now the owner of mortal Kombat is Netherrealm
Breno Xavier So....Still, it is a good idea
Breno Xavier So....Still, it is a good idea
👍
+Danyel Perão League of Legends? Really? That's the worst idea I have ever heard... or read.
You sir are a bloody genius.
I was blown away by the official music video, so good. I want that shirt the dude is wearing on this one
SNK MVS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HO OUI HO OUI HO OUIIIII

The vocal channel is isolated to one side. I'm new to this kind of panning.
Awesome video. Idea was pure genius.
"SpeEddie" Of Light. An awesome video 'bout an awesome song; can't wait for the rest of the album, which shall be transcendental. =,)
that's the llexi in the scoreboard then !
Closest influencies in my opinion:
-Donkey kong, Rampage and crazy climber for the first game refering to golden age arcade era.
-Robocop Vs Terminator for virgin, as it looks in the megadrive/Snes, including the lighting effect of the bullets on eddie's face as it flashes on Robocop's face.
-Mortal kombat (of course)
-Mainly Doom and maybe some Hexen for the egoshooter, amongo other influneces. as the last game on the 3d age.
don't you think?
Έλα ρε Maiden τρελλα!
Just incredible!@Midway do what you have to do!
hope the new album isn't called The Final Left Ear
Amazing work Llexi! :D
great, great job... one of the best music videos ever, so much symbolism and ''sense'' into it.
UP THE IRONS from GREECE \m/
It's so COOL I LOVE IRON MAIDEN
I want that t-shirt!
Nice T-SHIRT
Now this is a good irin maiden animation
Best way to describe why this song works 0:04

I want this videogame ! :3
Very cool!!!!
Exelent song

Iron Maiden for PACMAN Arcade
I still want these Games. Can we please have a fund to totally pay it aggressively into reality? Personally, as a gamer I so much feel the spirit behind this and also some nostalgia and it would haunt me till my last breath, not having played something like that D:
Si a Eddie lo ponen en Mortal Kombat les pone en la madre a todos los personajes
I'm early better make a joke.
Black Viel Brides.

+rmu2867 Found it! Search Joystick Junkies on eBay.
E-P-I-C
Mortal combat or Tekken, doesnt matter, just take Eddie and the Beast to next fighting-game :D
Best-music-video-of-last-666-years
OK now give us the games!!!
up the irons!
Why don't they make an Eddie game like the video shows
Should've had a Tony Hawk section... since Eddie was actually in Tony Hawk 4.
Thumbs up for Llexi Leon!
Anyone else pissed off with hearing Dave Murray's solo over and over again? I love it but seriously
I can't hear him but I can hear the music
I remember Eddie being a playable character in Tony Hawks pro skater 4 :D
"I think you'll have a lot of fun, going through frame by frame, you know, see what you figure out"
So, who is doing that? He totally hid 1 frame Easter eggs in there.
Nicolas Frasson The most obvious one was at the end of the video. See if you can find the TWO easter eggs ;)
Well Executed!!
Would rather have a video where it shows the band playing,but then I'm old school.
Don't even know why bands bother anymore with videos.
Gods

Whoever the 13 people are who disliked the video should never get to listen to maiden again
They must make an Eddie themed video Game. It would be awesome!
Tiger V They have already done that in the past. It came with the CD.
Tiger V They did it in 1998. It was called Ed Hunter.
They just did with legacy of the beast.
Boon if you're reading this......Eddie in next MKX DLC
Eddie for GTA 6!
hehe yeah boiiii
Eddie for president Lol!
this is bullying for people like me with a broken left speaker :(
Why have you guys changed Eddie's teeth? I mean, the majority of Eddie's drawings I've seen (specially the old ones) have the long canine teeth. In my mind, it was something characteristic from Eddie. From whom came the idea of changing it?
My right ear feels lonely
"idear"
Derek Riggs.
end of story !
Whats with the left ear only hearing the editors voice
Give us the 3d model of eddie °-°
It would have been great to actually understand what Llexi was saying. That audio was so poor...
Theolppoman that has to be you and not the video. the video audio is not poor at all.
Theolppoman Probably your computer/smartphone
Huh, your right. When I tried my headphones the sound is good. It's still a bit weird since I haven't had any problems like this before
Azyria No the microphone is isolated to the left ear..
Azyria And there is a really noticeable beep/buzz whenever the mic comes back
where the funk is the band?
Taco
it really bothered me that his voice was recorded in STEREO.....you record vocals in mono not stereo God damnit!
No entiendo porque esta en ingles :v
Yeah judging by the scores, Nicko McBrain sucks at video games xD
***** i don't get it?
His name is last on the scoreboard, of the cabinet that Eddie walks away from.
oh i didn't pay attention, thanks.
fuck it, i ship the fuck out of an Eddie based game. im going to make this video into an actual game, with different teams of graphic designers to show others the story of Eddie and what hes been through from the beginning, til present day.. but first, im contacting Boon
Have you done it yet?
i know bruce's phone number.... hehehehe......
¿alguien que hable español? jajaja xD
Great video!!! Shame about the song.
Shame about the song!? Hahahahahahhah.....nice one.😉😂
dont make a video game or something, it will become mainstream. So stop
Jointer They already made a video game in the 90s called Ed Hunter. It was terrible.
The fear that something will become "mainstream" is a terrible reason not to do it. Great things become mainstream all the time.
Hephaestus84 bullshit, listen to mainstream music. I rest my case!
Your subjective opinion of mainstream music (which, by the way, might arguably include Iron Maiden) is not really a "case" at all.
I'm talking about lil wayn, miley cirys, jb and shit like that. Not Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden are not mainstream, metal isn't mainstream.

No lie but playing that same piece of the song over and over again kinda got me annoyed
Music video was a bit cheesy, suspect it would've been better with less of the '3D flying in space' filler and more old school video games
maiden are very old and they dont want to give up their factory of $$. The videoclip was once more rediculous, just look the left hand on the gun in 05:35 it looks tragic, not a trace of human anatomy.

arrasar Don't hold back dude, tell us how you really feel.
Salty.
arrasar Sorry, maybe you should retire yourself from Maiden in that case. There are literally MILLIONS of us around the globe that are happy that his band is still active.
arrasar Some opinions are shit. Yours is one of those opinions.
Guillermo Z I am glad you still feel that way but it doesnt work for me after fear of the dark
Eddie is sort of a god
I love Eddie :D
where the funk is the band?
