My favourite Maiden song of all time
Marco C74 -
This song kills me everytime..ive been traveling for years working for the oil and gas industry sense I was 19 I'm 40 now and haven't had a home other than campers, hotels or man camps I feel like burning my passports sometimes..when all your memories are of unknown faces and strange places..it really hits the heart.
Keep going brother.
Thanks for your years of hard work brother, totally get ya.. keep on keeping on bro
Step away any way you can. You’ve got the brains to change the outcome. Not that what you’ve been doing is bad, just that it’s your turn to be golden.
Hmm if you are a bloodbrother you have a family everywhere.
Maybe it´s time to settle down and start going home.
The older I get, the more this has become my favorite Maiden song.
My fav since teenage yrs
this started when i was like 10 in 2007
now im almost 27 and i love it even more!!!!
The older and and wiser you get, the more you understand the meaning of this song for for everyone who grew up in the 80s.......
The vocal talent of Bruce is unequaled, incredible range. And he still sounds good.
Mikey Virtnan the singer from children of the beast has a very similar voice .
You're completely right
He's an incredible singer
His unique style is what sets him apart,,lotta great singers out there ,, definitely one of the greatest of all time
@@rtrolly Totally agree with what you said!
Rob halford
I remember when I was 17 years old listening to this in my Walkman 🤣 in west Edmonton ✌🏽
I am now 53 years young🤣
Good old wasted years🫡
Nothing but good memories 🤘🤘
2023 and I am still watching.....up the iron !!
A message to the future generations: "DON'T LET THIS SONG DIE" 💞👌😊👍
This song embodies all the good things of the 80's
Really, were you there?
Jake 19 Christ your gay
@@damone70
Yes I was there and it was certainly a better time in history than today.
@@70ad25 Same here. Agreed..
@@Manisale4321 Says the clown with the gay profile pic. Hahahaha
37 years later-- Bruce sounds nearly the same (attended PowerTrip 3 weeks ago in Indio). Have seen Iron Maiden 2 times now, and they still got it! Up the Irons!
every time I hear this song it puts me in a different dimension and pulls me away from the grim reality of everyday life
I am now 48 years old in the year 2023... I grew up on legends like maiden, ACDC, LED Zep, Pink Floyd, the Beatles even bro. I came across this video because i intentionally looked for it. And I wanna tell you guys... don't ever give up on your musical dreams. These guys are our mentors.
We must pay homage my old school friends worldwide.
Amen brother, absolutely Amen!!
*Great music is absolutely timeless, and it not only gets us through the best and worst of times but it brings us together, ESP when we get to these awesome shows!!
Born in 75 also and this is one of my favorite maiden songs.
This is great quality for 86
I was hoping to hear a live version of this awesome song. not lip synced
This is definitely synced my dude, everything is pretty much identical to the original which sucks
@@ESN1311 It's not "pretty much", it's identical actually (a lip sync performance). Sadly, this tour had only a few TV pro shots, so I'm still glad this was uploaded.
@Samson 92 yeah! Top of the Pops!
@Samson 92 Smithty was the only one taking it seriously!
It wasn't lip syncing when they performed it only when they delivered it on recording. Too bad.
This has always been my favorite Maiden song.
Pure magic one of history’s greatest recorded songs
iron maiden 1982 El Paso Texas .right their in front on the rail .never will forget .15 years old .one of the best concerts I saw .
So understand, don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand and realize that you're living in the golden years
LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN, UP THE IRONS!🤘🤘⚡⚡💥💥🔥🔥
Class of 1984❤❤❤
My fav Adrian solo of all time!
Adrian messed up he didn't stay on the whammy bar long enough.
@@mrf_71 He couldn't because he had to go on the mic. That's why the last part of his live Wasted Years solo was (and is today) different than the one on the album.
@@BartSmith85 No, he lets go of the bar and you can still hear it as if he was using the bar.
@@dcfan1107 Read again what I've wrote! He couldn't use the whammy bar for the same amount of time as on the album because he had to sing & play chords. That's why I've mentioned the fact that he also had to change the outro of the solo on the Somewhere on Tour. Adrian is a perfectionist & I understand his choice really well.
@@BartSmith85 That's a magic Floyd Rose...lets it go and it still works by itself.
"WASTED YEAR'S" in 2019?! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
UP THE IRONS!!!!
Seen them on the 14 right here in LA best time I ever had and best money ever spent.

Sandra Nicholson, cheers !!!!!
2020
Always liked this song.
I was in Okinawa Japan when it came out.
Means more to me now than then.
Such a charismatic showman
Just incredible I love you Bruce and Iron Maiden BRAVO GUYS
Yeah this was a great music and one exceptional artist
**ALL exceptional artists, and phenomenal song writers for sure!! ♥️🙏
I am only 3 in 1986 but i still love Iron Maiden and still they are strong 💪🤘
I was 12, and rocking them! at their prime, it was great!!!
It's a great song and I'm a lifelong Iron Maiden fan, and it's fun now in 2024 to see all the guys so young. But it's rare to see them miming along to their record, they usually refused to do that. Interesting document
Such an awesome song and one of the greatest guitar and bass lines ever.
My favorite era maiden 1986
Passa o tempo , mais uma obra de arte dessa é pra eternidade.
The BEST album this band ever did in my book !!!!!!!!!!
Somewhere in Time is a classic.
I really liked Somewhere in Time also but most hardcore Maiden fans prefer Number of the Beast, Peace of Mind & Powerslave. I like them all! 👍
@@ChrisWhite-vs6ud Yeah Chris i agree except for Powerslave, that album got far way too much credit & attention in my book. 2 minutes til midnite is the only song from that album i really like & i really don't understand what the big deal was that they made over Powerslave but i liked everything else they did but Somewhere in Time just has that sound i really like & to me it defines Iron Maiden the best.
Bo Nichols I really like Aces High and Rime of the ancient mariner off PowerSlave also. But love Somewhere in time also. My personal fav is Piece of Mind but also think NOTB has 3 of their greatest songs. Can’t go wrong with Maiden!
Definitely... this whole album was awesome... I think I like Derek Riggs' artwork on this album the best, too.
Melancholy strikes hard when I think back of this concert at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena...soooooooo long ago!!! January 9th 1987. A teenager full of hope and dreams I was then. I am now living those dreams, but sometimes would give it all back to regain my youth. How about you?
1st rock song i really listened to. Was 6 years old watching top of the pops in Cairo in 1987. So long ago. Loved it then, Love it even more now that i understand it better.
When Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, you should probably give him more cowbell
What did you want to say? Sorry but English is not my mother language and I don't understand the meaning.
Wrong bruce dickinson Idiot
Cock of the walk baby
@Samson 92 thank you. I finally was able to understand the meaning of the comment. You're very good explaining. Cheers from Argentina and Up the Irons! 🤘
Omfg, I wish I had seen them in concert they sound amazing
I wish I had Bruce's hair!!!
👍👍👍👍
I wish I had... HE(?)
I wish I had Bruce's teeth
I wish I had a slice of pizza and a cold beer, but I’ll settle for 4 more years of Trump as President!!
@i'm only here for the beer Only for you Socialist Snowflakes...
Brilliant.. raw as it gets.. thanks Countdown & the Mighty Irons!!!
Awesome hook and great lyrics. The 80s were awesome!
Fantastic.performance by the great iron maiden!! Bruce looking good!! Greatest band of all time up the irons maiden manic cheers 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️🤟❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸
This is my no. 1 Music from Iron Maiden when this Song was releashed.
I' m in my early 50' s and still love to hear Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Music.
I forgot how much I love these guys Thank you so much :-)
I felled in Luv with Iron Madien the First time Hearing this Awesome song on Tape back in the Years lol...Also luv this Video...ROCK ON MADIEN!!! 😜🤘🤘🎸🎸
Genios, un clasico que se escuchas a tras del tiempo
Amazing song, if youre in your late 40's early 50's you know this in your soul! The lyrics kill us.
ótimo show ótima musica perfeita desde os anos 80 e 90 que curto iron maiden e sempre vou curtir iron maiden para sempre
Reminds me of how these lyrics struck me when I was living on the other side of the world, chasing my business dream, with only my son by my side, who was just 4 years old at the time. It's fascinating how certain songs can resonate so deeply, reflecting our experiences at different moments in our lives. Now, back in my native country, these lyrics vividly transport me back to those times, in a very profound way.
Iron Maiden is absolutely GREAT...!!!
Long life to Iron Maiden and to good Music...!
Thanks so much Iron Maiden...!
Such an awesome song.
Eu tinha acabado de nascer nesse ano, me parece que foi a melhor epoca do Iron Maiden, todos estavam jovens e inspirados.
Quintessential 80's metal. Love it!
That opening is one of the most iconic licks in all of rock music.
I love the song everything especially lead.
Good version. Thanks for sharing it.
Greatest band ever 💪
Great song. They sound great live.
I like how everyone is pointing out the fact that it's playback but fail to understand that this is what Countdown and multiple other music shows back then were doing on regular basis. It wasn't Maiden's fault, nor their call, but something the production and/or the people behind Countdown had decided beforehand. There is another playback Maiden show on youtube where you can see Bruce taking the absolute piss out of their performance because of playback. Regardless, up the irons!
@Jackson Carter They did one that was hilarious. They switched instruments.
Jimi Kuningas yeah but why even show up and act? So stupid of a concept. Let the band play the damn song!
You can tell Steve is not into it at all.
They had to do that. Imagine the time it takes to set up for a live show, then do sound checks, trying to get the sound right for the room which is a TV studio not designed for live shows, vs just performing to a playback. All for one song. Also the TV show does not want to risk a train wreck performance or a singer going out on a rant.
That was on a show in Germany and the band members decided to really screw around the playback.
At one point while wasted years is being played nicko decided to get up to the microphones and sing while Bruce is behind the drum kit its a real pisser if you watch it in full.
Funniest piss take on a public TV broad cast.
It's found in the doco by iron maiden
12 wasted years.
Irón maiden gran banda , que Hermosos tiempos.
Spectacular song👍🏼🎸🙌🏼
Playback, I listened this song enough for too many years to not recognize record version
Idem
Beautiful Bruce 😍
Incredible performance!!!
Cool song by Legendary Band, i am 53 yo & still yet to catch em live so hopefully they Tour Australia again soon with The Warning !!! as support band 🙃
Muito ótimo som de primeira qualidade.!!!!
one of my favourite and best song all over time
I went to watch Maiden at the O2 Arena in London in 2013. I was worried that they'd play loads of new songs no one would know. Not at all! They played ALL their classics including this, like a Greatest Hits Live. Best show of my life.
Jesus thats awesome!!! Thanks for the video
wow great video!!!!!amazing!!!
My mom is in love with Bruce Dickinson Lol
Me too
I prefer Dave
Me too🤤. I'm 40.
@i'm only here for the beer yes, I agree with you.
So is your dad. Deal with it...
Awesome song from one of the most awesome bands EVER.
Some epic riffs in this one, on each instrument. It plays in my head when I mountain bike, without recording...
Yo los e visto en dos conciertos y canta como en los discos, Iron Maiden de las mejores bandas de Havy metal
Es verdad son unos grosos !! MUSICOS con mayusculas!! Up the Irons!!
One of my fav Maiden tunes
I love the way Adrian got back to singing yet finished his solo at the same time.
That's not an easy song to sing. Way to go Bruce.
It was playback... so for that it was easy ;-)
Actually, this is the song they play worst live... it sounds creepy nowadays
Como foi bom ter vivido essa época!!
The quality of the video and recording is so great. Love maiden
Playback.
lots of energy here good song
probably one of the best maiden songs.
When I first heard Maiden back in the day they sounded heavy af. Now they just seem like a party band. But man this was a killer track, Adrian Smith really did his work here on BVs and a great solo.
Congratulations to each of you your art will never die!!!
There is quite a few sincere and honestly devoted artists as those one the Iron Maiden group
Their wonderful leader is brilliant he lives his own life through his interpretation and thowards public on stage
Bruce is someone who gives him entirely with no limits and is also enigmatic and magnetic at the same time
Top five best maiden songs ever
Los descubri cuando aun era niño y hoy con 47 años los escucho como la primera vez AGUANTE MAIDEN saludos desde Argentina
Лучшие годы классика тяжёлого рока, Легенда🤘🤘🤘🔥!
Да здравствует Брюс 🔥🤘
love it
best of all iron maiden songs
My favourite Maiden’s song

They may look different but sound the same as they do today Fantastic xxx
Zooo mooi, mijn favo hardrocksong ever... 🖤
This song is timeless.
The last great Maiden track. Thanks Adrian. Lip Sync is f'n hilarious.
Nicely mimed lol.. still maidens best album for me!
Somewhere in time ✊️🤘
It's such a great song!
Mi música favorita la mejor de todas
Sang this once at the oldest pub in Oulu, Finland , accompanied by one magnificent pianist.
Veli-Pekka Kultanen
Pianist? What an amazing approach would it have been.
@@user-bo6dk9rx6z maybe he meant penis
@@mossyhaych8227 He didn't mention your name.
so cool👍
Saw them in Memphis in 1983. They were awesome.
Watching Rage last night made my day/night why is music from bands gone ..noticed a beatiful comment this was when people played music on tv
Memorable for all the time
I was expecting a live version. All in all this is a great song.
Love the Loop t-shirt. Too bad Chicago lost a great radio station.
Dirt Bikes & Ice Hockey Just found this video. Was suprised by Adrian shirt. Shame the station is gone.
*OBRIGADO POR EXISTIREM E ME FAZER FELIZ POR 4 DÉCADAS* 🇧🇷
Good sound !
I like....I love Iron Maiden....lagu itu kenangan terindahku ❤🎉
