Iron Maiden ought to do a live version of this with both Bruce Dickinson and Blaze Bayley singing it together. And release it as a single. It will be awesome!
Blaze is a master ! He helped Maiden to improve their style ! Since those two albums, the formule starting the song slow and then punchy come from Blaze era. In my opinion no one can sound better than Blaze when it is about singing all the songs from the X factor. Respect to Blaze !
@@t7pdtdyfulll287 okay Boomer everybody have his own opinion 😏 but let me tell something. You and I are internet warriors and he is a world famous singer 😁
Blaze did nothing of that. He was great but the band didn't progress during almost 10 years. I love this album, even more than the Fear of the Dark but Virtual XI is not that great.
a banda não progrediu por vários motivos. Blaze Bailey não conseguia cantar todas as músicas da era Dickinson, e a culpa não era só dele nesse quesito; os chefes (Steve e o empresário) não tiveram cuidado com isso; os fãs idiotas (só os idiotas) fizeram a parte deles no insucesso da banda nessa época e o Régis Tadeu falou muita bobagem. kkkkkk
Yea, i still dont get the hatred for the poor fella hes such a great singer, i rlly love his voice the dude can sing. Sure he may not be bruce but he wanted to go solo, it was his choice and they picked blaze for that reason, they liked his voice and made him their singer for those albums.
It was for food. Now his band is one of the bests and has many good albums. The man who would not die is one that I hear almost every day and I can't get enough
There are different types of iron maiden fans, some like it when things change in the band and like the different eras, etc... but, you know, alot of people, when they like something ALOT, what they wat is just more of the "same thing".
Indeed. In fact there's only one single singer in the history of rock music that I rank higher than Bruce even though Bruce is my favourite- That is Ronnie James Dio :)
It took some time (years), but when The X Factor clicked on me, it was amazing. The fast songs, I always loved, but the slower ones, never caught my attention, until one day, when I decide to sit through the whole album in one play. Then I started to obsessively listen to the album, any chance I got in my routine. Great album, underrated for sure.
Bruce will always be THE Iron Maiden singer, but blaze co-wrote this and Paul Dianno co-wrote remember tomorrow, these guys don’t get enough credit for their years in the band
wkr64691 THAT comment I completely agree with, to be perfectly honest I think Di'Anno gets tremendous credit for his time in Maiden but Blaze never does, although I think he made a giant impact to their music, and so many masterpieces were written and performed during his era, and I for one just love his albums in the Maiden !!!
I would say Di'Anno gets tremendous love for songs like Wrathchild, Killers, Remember Tomorrow, Sanctuary Iron Maiden and quite a few others.. Blaze sadly gets maybe a few songs like Clansman.. Futureal, Sign of the Cross and Blood on the World's hands.. I could be wrong of course, but those are the ones I think of when I think of great songs by those singers. Both singers are Phenomenal and have had amazing contributions to Iron Maiden. I'm greatful for both. Nothing but the best to both.
It took a long time for the fans to accept Blaze, but people are noticing now how good some of his material with Maiden actually was. And he's become a great solo artist in his own right.
Blaze took up a difficult mantle. He's a great singer and I remember getting this album and thinking "Wow, they didn't get a Bruce-alike. They did something rather original; kind of like when Paul was replaced". This is one of my fav songs on this album.
Just met Blaze two days ago, incredible person and so down to earth. Put on an unbelievable show and sounds better than ever. If you’re a huge fan of X Factor and Virtual 11, PLEASE go catch him on his tour. He does a free meet greet and plays some amazing originals along with the beautifully dark songs he did with Maiden 💪
I've been to see him twice now. Such an amazing singer and person. The venues he plays at are usually small, but he gives it his all every time. He even came up to me to shake my hand and thank me for coming as I arrived to the venue, like I was the important one there. Had a nice chat with the man at meet and greet as well. Talk about appreciating the fans.
Dunno why Blaze gets so much hate. True, he's not as operatic as Dickinson, but he nailed it here! Kind of like Di'Anno's guttural sound and Dickinson's operatic style molded into one!
+Bill Day (Zintok5) Yep. There's a reason Steve chose him. I'm sure he could have chose somebody that was a Dickinson imitator and that's what most fans would have preferred, but that's Steve. He's always done it his way, no compromises. The big reason that he's one of my top musical heroes:)
I think the biggest difference for me in the Blaze years was that Adrian was gone. The songwriting just ain't the same without him. They had some good ones though. I just saw the acoustic version of Blood Brothers with Blaze and holy shit it's good. Blaze would have been ridiculous on that album.
Who? Steve Harris. I agree with you. A lot of people can go ahead and call Steve an a--hole and say he's arrogant until the cows come home. But if it weren't for him being strict about what he wants out of Maiden, this band would not be as successful as they are. I know Paul Di'Anno used to call him "Sergeant Major Harris" because he was supposedly bossy. I have to admit that Steve is an awesome bass player. And an overall awesome guy in general. I checked out some of the stuff he did with that project of his, British Lion. Not too bad :D
Bill Day the reason he gets so much hate is because people compare him to Paul and Bruce which both have very unique sounds that work with the band so when people keep comparing him they don't enjoy the songs he did good with
Excellent album, excellent front man and the only living person that could really have replaced Bruce since Paul had burned so many bridges with the group. Much respect to Blaze, up the Irons!
A catchy, blistering song from the masterpiece album: X-Factor....To me this era is Pure Gold, even if the albums and certainly Blaze is VASTLY underrated, we still hear echoes in their later music.......A Golden Gem, that´s for sure....
"I lost my job. Actually I didn't lose it. It lost me. I'm overeducated, underskilled-Maybe it's the other way around. I forget-but I'm obsolete. I'm not economically viable. I can't even support my own kid."
I´m lost.......for words ...Punchy, Thrilling and this Raw Edge only Maiden can bring, the dark, intense and passionate voice of Blaze turns this to an EXPLOSIVE Golden Gem........
WOW, I simply love this, the Blaze era, the song, just listen to the POWER of his voice....THIS is the real deal, metal music in all its glory, downright stunning guys !!!
"Falling Down" is a masterpiece and how society treats us the older we get. That and They Live are really truly masterpieces of how bad society forces us to live today. That said, I agree with both movies on how just unjust society really is for most of us that don't belong to the upper elites. The song is pretty good too. Underrated album.
I´m lost for words.....the punchy, thrilling music, the OUTSTANDING interpretation by Blaze and their breathtaking performance with all their charisma and this raw edge.........STUNNING GUYS !!!
Its greta to see so many people have the love for Blaze. I feel the same way,. His contribution to Maiden was fabulous, I loved the two albums he made with them, I loved Paul and love Bruce, but I love Blaze just as much, a different time , a different sound but all orgestrated by Harris, all for the same cause wich is the sound of iron maiden . that sound is from all the musicians in the band . Steve must be a awesome dude to be in a band with. its all about the music.
THIS is the real deal, the talent, the spirit....I just love their " dark era " so many fantastic songs were written and performed in this era, and NOBODY sings this better than Blaze, NOBODY !!!
Blaze albums in Iron Maiden are so underrated!!! And nowadays everybody in my school is like pop related stuff or nothing,of course not my teacher,hey,any young people out there that likes Iron Maiden?
The thing i love about blaze is that he used the punky snarl tone Paul uses and the high note opera vocals Bruce uses and combined into one voice but seriously he doesn't deserve the hate he got
I hated when Bruce left but Blaze in my humble opinion has a great voice and this is my favorite from that time. When the number of the beast came out I was insane for Maiden and didn't know about Paul until I went to Tower Records to buy the albumn and found their first two albums and was not disappointed. I love Bruce! I hope he recovers from his chemo quickly and hope they tour again! Thanks Blaze for covering while he was gone.
conheci pessoalmente Blaze Bayley em um bar aqui da cidade, fato ocorrido em videira SC dia 24/06/2016, cara se apresentou grandiosamente, bebeu cerveja com a galera, jogou sinuca, tirou foto com os fãs, autografou discos, um artista super talentoso e acessível ao seu publico, pessoa admirável, a cidade toda parou pra ver de perto o talento do cara, e ele retribuiu de forma grandiosa, acho em particular; excepcional a passagem de Blaze Bayley pelo Iron Maiden
Realmente.... é talentoso sim. Claro que existem comparações, mas são fases distintas da banda e todos deixaram sua "marca" no vocal do Iron Maiden, assim como o Paul Dianno
The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles The car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down 'Cause nothing is fair just you look around Falling down He's sick of waiting of lying like this There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss Branded a leper because you don't fit In the land of the free you just live by your wits Once he built missiles a nation's defence Now he can't even give birthday presents Across the city he leaves in his wake A glimpse of the future a cannibal state Falling down The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles The car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down 'Cause nothing is fair just you look around Falling down
I LOVE this...Thank you Maiden and Blaze for giving us theese incredible albums..especially the X-Factor is very loved and near to my heart, to all of us that loves this Golden Era theese albums are TREASURES....epic, timeless and unforgettable..
The song's lyrics literally describe everything that happened to Mr. Foster in the film, "Falling Down". Anyone who's a fan of this song definitely has to check out that film
Never heard of it but i heard no prayer for the dying (their most hated album) but i rlly loved NPFTD im gonna give this album a shot and see if i find any hidden gems in it to add to my playlist, coz if i love NPFTD then i may like this one! Plus i think blaze is a good singer sure he may not be brucey in anyway but to me, blaze is kinda like the brian johnson of Iron Maiden ppl hated him but theres some who love him
We all should thank Blaze Bayley for this album and for being around when Bruce wasn't. Thank you Mr. Bayley
A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge...........that line is stuck in my brain forever.
Man working 9 to 5 was a pain in the butt even 30 years ago!
Blaze is a true genius!!!!
Iron Maiden ought to do a live version of this with both Bruce Dickinson and Blaze Bayley singing it together. And release it as a single. It will be awesome!
Falling Down is such a wicked movie, And this is an awesome song.
"Think about it."
I love that album
Blaze, excellant singer between 1994 to 1999 with Iron Maide. Only Iron Maiden' true fans will recognize this masterpiece
I wish Iron Maiden could make more songs like this, short and speedy
I agree. Now as they' ve aged, we cannot await an energy like this...but it would be great.
Yeah. All the songs now are way too long
I agree but their last album still kicked ass!
Not gonna find it on the newer albums bud
Kind of like be quick or be dead
Back in days, I was too young to appreciate Blaze's work. Nowadays, I am truly enjoying this Iron Maiden era.
so underrated, he was cool though
Most underrated maiden album..... Blaze absolutely nailed it
This song was number 1 on charts in Finland the day i was born.
Blaze is a master ! He helped Maiden to improve their style ! Since those two albums, the formule starting the song slow and then punchy come from Blaze era. In my opinion no one can sound better than Blaze when it is about singing all the songs from the X factor. Respect to Blaze !
@@t7pdtdyfulll287 okay Boomer everybody have his own opinion 😏 but let me tell something. You and I are internet warriors and he is a world famous singer 😁

@@mikatu Everybody has his on opinion 😁 the band didn't progress because "true" fans are to weak when you change a little bit their routine 😂
what?
a banda não progrediu por vários motivos. Blaze Bailey não conseguia cantar todas as músicas da era Dickinson, e a culpa não era só dele nesse quesito; os chefes (Steve e o empresário) não tiveram cuidado com isso; os fãs idiotas (só os idiotas) fizeram a parte deles no insucesso da banda nessa época e o Régis Tadeu falou muita bobagem. kkkkkk
Seventh Son and X Factor are my fav Maiden albums. They are so dense and special.
i agree ..
It was unfair all the things that fans done with blaze. he is an incredible singer and deserves our respect
Yea, i still dont get the hatred for the poor fella hes such a great singer, i rlly love his voice the dude can sing. Sure he may not be bruce but he wanted to go solo, it was his choice and they picked blaze for that reason, they liked his voice and made him their singer for those albums.
It was for food. Now his band is one of the bests and has many good albums. The man who would not die is one that I hear almost every day and I can't get enough
There are different types of iron maiden fans, some like it when things change in the band and like the different eras, etc... but, you know, alot of people, when they like something ALOT, what they wat is just more of the "same thing".
Its not the best album, but its not the worst either. This song is one of my favs!
Yup, Blaze is not Bruce, but no one is. He did a great job, love his band and his solo work.
Indeed. In fact there's only one single singer in the history of rock music that I rank higher than Bruce even though Bruce is my favourite- That is Ronnie James Dio :)
it's certainly better than most of NPFTD and VXI
👌
I'm starting to wonder if this band have a worst album haha

The fast songs, I always loved, but the slower ones, never caught my attention, until one day, when I decide to sit through the whole album in one play.

First two albums are my favorites.
It took a long time for the fans to accept Blaze, but people are noticing now how good some of his material with Maiden actually was. And he's become a great solo artist in his own right.
Maiden is Maiden no matter what. Regardless of a singer, guitarist or drummer. They are all extremely talented and all of their albums display it.
Could Not Have Said It Better Myself 😈😈
Ah X-Factor and Virtua XI will always have a special place in my heart for their darker and grittier sound then the previous albums.
Up the Irons!
The x factor and virtual xi is good álbums underrateds 👍👌
You cannot top that blistering solo from Dave Murray
Blaze rules!!!
Blaze carried Maiden so well these years. Thank you man
Amazing performance by Blaze Bayley.
Great song, album, band, vocalist.
Blaze took up a difficult mantle. He's a great singer and I remember getting this album and thinking "Wow, they didn't get a Bruce-alike. They did something rather original; kind of like when Paul was replaced". This is one of my fav songs on this album.
God, what a darkly beautiful and powerful album. Hale the Blazer and always up the irons!
THIS is metal in all its glory, the punch, thrill and raw edge....and NOBODY brings the heat like theese guys NOBODY..!!!
Iron Maiden UNLEASHED.....and THIS is how I love to see them perform, a DAZZLING Golden Gem, that´s for sure !!
The whole "X Factor" album is extremely well mixed, a total delight to audiophiles. Definitely on my music library.

It was this song that introduced me to the movie Falling Down back many many years ago.
The beggining of the song bring me back a several reminds of My Childhood

Most underrated Maiden album? I think so.
Totally agree with you
+Timi niemensivu most underrated vocalist
This and No Prayer for The Dying
+Fiendster7
Well, I'll say this: you can't say Blaze didn't leave _something_ for us during his tenure with Maiden.
+Fiendster7 I think X-Factor is an amazing album, not a single dud song on it.
Holy shit, I only just realised that this song is about the movie Falling Down...epic
You're not alone.
I had read about that on a Wikipedia article!
great movie! great song anyway!
The other tracks are also about movies 👋😉

Classic!
Blaze just owns this song.
I don't know how any true Iron Maiden fan can hate this song 🤘🏼
This song is an absolute classic, and it's a classic because of Blaze! First listened to this in the early 2000s, it's still got it in 2021!
Thank you for your dedication and your contribution to make Iron Maiden greater, Mr Bayley.
This one and The Sign of the Cross are in my top 10 Iron Maiden songs

This is downright my favourite IronMaiden song. It just speaks to me on a personal level
I love Falling down
Only blaze could repeat a single line over and over and it never gets old
Absolutely
love the chorus
Blaze put his piece of history in this amazing band
The thing i love about blaze is that he used the punky snarl tone Paul uses and the high note opera vocals Bruce uses and combined into one voice but seriously he doesn't deserve the hate he got
I think this song should be staple on greatest hits albums by Maiden 🤘🏼
It is a criminally underrated Maiden tune ... and it's inspired by a great movie, Falling Down!
Listening to this after tears of a dragon just to prove to my friend here that maiden is always better. NO MATTER WHAT
Much better than anything off the last two albums. So much energy.
Big nope!
Grande Blaze😎💪🏻

This is the Blaze version of Be quick or be dead.
independente de ser Paul, Bruce ou Blaze, tudo que vem de Iron Maiden é arte para meus ouvidos! #UPTHEIRONS #BR
É verdade parceiro...iron só tem músicas lindas
si exacto arte para los oidos.
Concordo com você meu caro Lucas Almeida
Up the Irons!!!!!
É isso aí meu amigo! Não importa o cantor,e sim a obra feita!
Blaze is amazing. All maiden is great. With Paul, Bruce, and blaze. All unique, all the best !!!!
Blaze could never replace Bruce.But his work is still brilliant.Much respect.
I don't know what it is with Iron Maiden! Everything they do sounds absolutely amazing.
From 1980 to 2022. Best metal band in the world bar none.
100% agree! UP THE IRONS 🤘
Went to see blaze play swansea a few years ago off the back of this song n I was really impressed. He kicked ass n signed my dvd

The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
'Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down
He's sick of waiting of lying like this
There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don't fit
In the land of the free you just live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nation's defence
Now he can't even give birthday presents
Across the city he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future a cannibal state

Interesting how the video makers decided to start wishing for 9/11 instead of bothering to cover the subject matter of the song.
"Across the city he leaves in his wake, a glimpse of the future, a cannibal state" is an amazing line

Anyone who's a fan of this song definitely has to check out that film
It’s a great movie
I agree with you. Everyone has his style and cannot be compared.
I like this song a lot. Great voice.
It cant be considered a graceless album, not at all. So underrated along the years.
Underrated, forgotten, hidden jewel in their discography.......the X-Factor is a MASTERPIECE, UNIQUE and LEGENDARY ...
Never heard of it but i heard no prayer for the dying (their most hated album) but i rlly loved NPFTD im gonna give this album a shot and see if i find any hidden gems in it to add to my playlist, coz if i love NPFTD then i may like this one! Plus i think blaze is a good singer sure he may not be brucey in anyway but to me, blaze is kinda like the brian johnson of Iron Maiden ppl hated him but theres some who love him
Thanks for sharing your voice with the world, Paul. Now and forever.
First single with Blaze. Still hammering after two decades 😎🤟
I listen to album to this day and think: fortunately I'm not a "true" Iron Maiden fan, so I can appreciate this album!
Undisputed Gem from the Bayley era
