    Adrian Smith's first single as a writer. Love the story about it in his book about how nervous he was when he showed it to Steve. Best song on the album.

    Played this song for my wife and she couldn’t believe this was a metal song. I said this is what I love about people that LOVE music is they can take song that people would never listen to because of a “genre” and “reinvent it” and open people’s eyes to a great song that they might not be open to listening to before. Absolutely ❤ this version of this Iron Maiden song.

    Can´t understand the hatred of some folks. I am a die-hard metalhead since I can think, been to hard and heavy concerts for almost two decades and will do so in the next decades to come - still renditions like these are amazing: They are honouring not only the legendary Iron Maiden but also music as such. Because music is supposed to make this weird and twisted world we share a little better.
    Up the irons to Mr. Zumback! Thanks so much for sharing this.

    But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself
    And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else
    I close my eyes and I think of home
    Another city goes by in the night
    Ain't it funny how it is? You never miss it til' it's gone away
    And my heart is lying there, will be 'til my dying day, Adrian!
    So understand

    Profound to the one who hears and the one who can see, the power of a word combined together to create a message, it's only wasted years depending on how deep you want to travel back with yourself through ones vision, if you travel back 1million years ago would it be wasted years if you could do it within a second of a decimal of time?? What is time?? It's the distance between you and I, which is space, so not wasted years wasted space is what we are really talking about if you dive deeper to within ones Spirit., I appreciate this song.

    This honestly conveyed the spirit of the lyrics much more profoundly than Iron Maiden's way of performing it. It shakes ones emotional core. It sounds like a good father's good advice, set to good music.

    I am a crazy crazy DIE-HARD fan of Maiden and have had the absolute honour of covering many of their songs in my career and have had the absolute pleasure of watching Iron maiden LIVE on no less than 4 occassions.That said, I have yet to hear a rendition of one of Maiden's biggest songs done in such a soulful and honest way. Mr Zumback you have done yourself and Iron Maiden proud. I wish you nothing but success for your future in music. If Brucie were to hear this version, I'm pretty darn sure he would want to record it.Salutations from Melbourne, Australia.

    I´ve listened to acoustic covers of Wasted Years (like the one that Ryan Adams did long ago) but you can tell Ian knows and respect the original, because he didn´t change the vocal melody so much as the others did and he also sings it with passion, beautifully. Congrats for this awesome rendition of one of my favourite Maiden tracks!

      Much love and joy to you ❤.

The local War Memorial was packed to the brim, I was 15, the music was louder than I could have ever imagined, and the show was 1000% incredible! I never imagined such a beautiful rendition of such a timeless metal classic! Well done!
