I discovered Iron Maiden in 84/85 and they been my favorite band ever since. This is a very daunting task that you both had tackled and of course will always be a bone of contention for a lot of fans including myself but that's Iron Maiden fans for you. Steve Harris is my favorite bassist and musician of all time and of course written a lot of Maidens greatest songs (despite wherever they may be ranked by various fans) but I do admit the Death of the Celts is my favorite song off the Senjitsu album and absolutely love it, but if you both don't like it, I can take my lumps as well lol. Great job again at tackling this list.
That’s a great channel ! So happy to find you guys ! I became a fan during the reunion era and still IM is the most important band of my life. Up the irons
This is such a brilliant idea for a debate. Cant wait for the dave murray song tier list! Can charlotte the harlot really be better then thin line between love and hate?! Thanks for the awesome content guys keep it coming! Tier lists, album reviews, more please!
Been listening to Maiden for 45 years. Run to the Hills is Iconic. And yup, Alexander is Iconic too. No one I've ever introduced to Maiden has failed to love either.
I really enjoyed this. I would love another list idea and I guess you can't miss with these videos. As a Maiden fan I just enjoy this content almost no matter what it is. I did watch the whole Monopoly thing so that is a testament I guess.
The one I actually gasped is how quickly you guys put The Clairvoyant in good when I think it's brilliant! Also I think Afraid to Shoot Strangers should also be brilliant.
It's just tough when you see the other songs you've placed in the category and feel like it doesn't quite belong with them!! I really do like that song though 🤘
Trust me, as you all know, there are many Maiden fans that won't listen to anything after 7th Son. I prefer their 80s albums as a whole the most, but Afraid to Shoot Strangers, to me, is iconic and up there with any Maiden song. Most albums after 7th Son have at least one or two brilliant or iconic.
Cool idea for a video. I would have Aces High as iconic but mostly agree with your rankings and justifications for why you ranked them where you did. 🤘
@@unicajamalaga2 - yeah it's so good it still gives me goose bumps the moment I hear it start. But Bruce sends it up many levels. Just a perfect vocal performance no other singer could have matched
@@ikigai47 я не скажу что он лучший вокалист в мире... особенно его теперешние работы но Детей Проклятых он спел шедеврально..и главное страстно. Хоть считается что лучшая песня мейденов - да святится имя твоё, но для меня дети не хуже 🤷
@@unicajamalaga2 - 100%. Он не самый талантливый певец в мире, но своим лучшим песням придает неповторимый характер. Для меня это настоящее величие. Спой песню так хорошо, чтобы ни один другой певец (даже более талантливый) не мог сравниться с тем неповторимым ощущением, которое ты создал.
i don't really understand why virtual XI gets so much hate. to me it is the only album without a single song that i don't like or don't care about. on every other maiden album there is at least one song that is just not interesting for me: A Matter Of Life And Death is my favourite album - Lord Of Light pretty boring; The Number Of The Beast great classic album - gangland and total eclipse meh; Piece of Mind - has some great songs but the other half of the album i couldn't even remember the names; most songs on the two albums pre bruce i simply don't care about....
Creators argue that shorts and longs are bad on the same channel. But a short brought me here. The fact that you are artistic along with love of music. So if you were not an artist, maybe I wouldn't have come here today. An example of how doing shorts works for pulling long form content views
Good point that Aces High great opening song...yet after hearing Caught Somewhere in Time live geez! It is even better to me the moment the band comes to stage and they crank the volume good lord!!!!! Will stay with me 4ever
“Run to the Hills, should it be Iconic”? Oh YES! Run to the Hills was Iron Maidens breakthrough single kids. It’s way way overplayed now but at the time there was nothing like it. The new wave of British heavy metal arrived when that single started to climb the charts so there is a pretty strong argument if it hadn’t been such a shock to the system at the time then maybe Beast wouldn’t have had the mainstream exposure and maiden wouldn’t have taken off like they did. So arguably maidens most important song in that respect. Alexander I would put as just good 😅
I think Phantom would be classed more iconic in the U.K. I had heard this track in the late 70’s before I even had heard of Maiden. It was on a famous advert for a sports drink in the U.K. The drink was Lucozade and Daly Thompson an Olympic athlete was in the tv advert.
I guess I love Quest for Fire and Heaven Can Wait a lot more then the Capn. The thing with these songs is that you instantly can hear all the different parts of the songs in your head. They have so much to offer so I gotta go good if not great with both (they're great:) )
interesting choices ,everyone has their favourites, , the song that always sticks with me is running free not because its a favourite, but because it was the first ever track i heard back in 1980 before the album came out i got one of those floppy vinyl demo, records free in a music mag it had prowler and running free on it, anyway brought the first album the rest is history, uti
Damn, Death of the celts 😭 not gonna act like it didn't get a bit boring for me on the future past tour but I still love that track for the album, but I suppose for you guys hearing it every night if you don't like it and it's forced at you every night, perfecrly reasonable to slap it at the bottom
When did you start listening to maiden? I can tell that you love the band but as someone that was waiting for piece of mind to come out, I disagree with alot of your assessments. But it's all just opinions.
Could "Dumpster Fire" be a category below Cringe reserved for Don't Look to the eyes of a stranger? I just looked up the amount of times Blaze sings "Don't Look to" in the bridge, and it's like 62 times not counting the normal choruses. I would only dare to add 3 other Maiden songs to that category, which aren't written by Steve alone: Fear is the Key The Apparition (worst Maiden song ever) Weekend Warrior. I can defend almost every other Maiden song except the above 4. Angel and the gambler and educated fool can't touch any song on X Factor, but for me, they're listenable compared to DLTTEOAS. Awesome video, guys! Happy belated Birthday to 'Arry🎉🎉🎉
I dont think I can be harsh enough to put any Maiden song in a category titled "Dumpster Fire" 🤣 I commented this to someone else, but even the music of QFF is fine, it's just the lyrics that make me groan enough to place it at the bottom haha.
@@Capnharris i believe Bruce would agree with you on QFF. I think he stated once that it was sort of a joke song just to prove that it could be done. The harmonies are awesome tho. Now, i feel mean with my choice of words. Maybe Unpleasant is better.
ua-cam.com/video/Fc8rtUhcOUM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared some classic interviews with Maiden and others! This was what Metal was like in UK in 88 and 89 🤘🤘
Don't know why you guys don't like Death of the Celts after hearing it so many times live it doesn't make sense to me it's an Absolute Amazing song I no you wanted The Parchment to be played but it doesn't make sense that you hate this song so much just because of that reason
Phantom is my iconic track, its awesome and its from the first release. But fans of different ages will have different iconic songs. FOTD is not iconic in my eyes. But its Maiden and we all love Maiden and it would be boring if we all liked the same songs. DOTC is a good song, so we can agree to disagree! Up the Irons
That's what makes Maiden so interesting. Everyone seems to like and dislike different songs. I have a friend who despises Monstegur and I can't believe it!! 😂

Haha sorry!! All opinion based, I enjoy both of those songs, just not quite as much as the other songs in higher rankings 😆🙂
@@Capnharris That guitar harmony in The Clairvoyant is god tier. One of Maiden's best.
Agree Clairvoyant is brilliant
Good list, but Afraid to Shoot Strangers is only "good"??? :O It's brilliant!!! I wasn't aware that there were Maiden fans that didn't agree.
It's just tough when you see the other songs you've placed in the category and feel like it doesn't quite belong with them!! I really do like that song though 🤘

How the hell did I get here? Oh yeah! A SHORTS reel of you as a doll creator. Making Eddie into the ace pilot, painting detail and all.
death of the celts at the bottom, no way. it was absolutely brilliant live the middle instrumental section is great
Hey love the channel, great content, just wondering are maiden your favourite band ? and do you plan to do an every album review ? would be fantastic
Yes they are my favorite band. Maybe one day, that's a bit hard for me as I'm so indecisive about "favorites" when it comes to Maiden
Cool idea for a video. I would have Aces High as iconic but mostly agree with your rankings and justifications for why you ranked them where you did. 🤘
I think 'Childhood's End' is one of the best songs in 'Fear of the Dark'!
Great idea for a video. Good list. I personally love death of the celts though🤘
Children of the Damned, at WORST, is brilliant. Unlike many metal bands "soft" songs this stood the test of time for me and is downright soulful
Vocal in the end is stunning! One of the best their songs 🎉

Hell on earth is higher than brilliant and Iconic, its a Masterpiece

It was on a famous advert for a sports drink in the U.K.

Interesting, I'd never heard of it being involved with an ad over there and can see why it would rank more iconic for that reason!
@@Capnharris Yeah check it out,was a very long time ago though.

Musically Quest for Fire isn't bad but the lyrics are a bit too silly for me, haha!
This is awesome!
I so agree about Alexander! It is Iconic for me personally anyway!

Wait.
Senjutsu was recorded in 2019.
☝️😬
For me death of the Celts is Brilliant and Quest for Fire is Great
Damn, Death of the celts 😭 not gonna act like it didn't get a bit boring for me on the future past tour but I still love that track for the album, but I suppose for you guys hearing it every night if you don't like it and it's forced at you every night, perfecrly reasonable to slap it at the bottom
It wasn't because of the tour, but the tour certainly didn't help any haha!

Gotta agree. "All of my life. I have believed. Judgement of heaven is waiting for me!"
Judgement of heaven is the 2nd worst off X factor imo. I think that song sucks
If Alexander is in iconic, Gambler deserves to be in iconic since it’s known to be Maiden’s worst song by most people 😂
You have a point 🤣
Quest for fire is a very good song

It isn't because of that. It genuinely just doesn't do anything for me, even before they ever toured with any of the Senjutsu material.
