@@VicSellsPeace People always say Dio ! he was a master song writer . But as a singer he butchered so many of his songs live . And to be honest his voice wasn't that unique . Bruce has a more unique voice , and better melody live !
My old band used to cover this song - VERY hard to sing btw! So much fun to play, and even though most of the audience didn't know it, everyone asked who did it, so the song obviously drew some interest. What an awesome lineup here also. Eddie Castillas, Roy Z, Adrian Smith and David Ingraham backing up the mighty BRUCE DICKINSON....fantastic!
It's too modern metal for Maiden, and if they did play it there would be not even half the effect of Roy's guys playing it with Smith and Dickinson. It's essential metal. 🤘
@j freed: Bruce D band plays in lower tuning and with another type of guitars (with humbucker instead of single coil) than IM plays. If IM would play it, it would sound pretty different.
@@martinblackwhite Maiden plays with Humbuckers since ever man comon. Janick has Semoyur Dunkons in his Guitar just looks like singles. You can btw sound proper heavy with just a single coil guitar.
@douk234 I played guitar and sang in a band that covered this song a good 12 years back. EASILY the toughest song in our set to sing. I know I never did the song the right justice, but we LOVED playing it live! We also did "Accident Of Birth", "Taking The Queen", and "Starchildren". We were out to Preach the Gospel according to Bruce! What a genius!
@chineseafro2000 Halford's lost it too, I saw them live a couple of years back, he had to sing everything at least an octave lower and was still struggling for some songs. As for Brucey however: 53 years old and still going, as awesome a frontman as he ever was!
I just saw Priest a year ago at the Budweiser event center and that wasn't the case then. His voice was a fucking amazing!! Blew me away how good he sounds actually.
Because Maiden are Maiden and would be totally compromised if they tried to do something they are not (like they did with some songs in the early 90s) Awsome song, however!
I wish maiden would allow Dickinson to open for them...and even play these tracks with him on a 3 guitar basis. This would make my day. This track with Steve on bass and nicko on drums... man oh man

For them who say IRON MAIDEN don't need Bruce to be good. When accident of birth and this were released, we almost forgot IRON MAIDEN with BLAZE. And I'm a huge fan of maiden
@SeeThroughHead1 It was well worth seeing. The guy (probably you?) was fantastic. He has a very powerful, expressive voice. All the best to him in music.
I think they recorded a couple of gigs. Some songs may not be the same shot as in the cd. There may be some overdubs in the cd as well... By the way, same thing happens with "Live After Death" from Iron Maiden. The video and the cd contain different versions of some tracks, you can notice that quite clearly in "Aces High" for example.
Its because hes Bruce Dickinson and he knows how to use his vocals.And it shows how good he really is, as Maiden are not the same without him, and they put in some workload to get to their fans everywhere.I'd sayt if you were on the moon, they'd try get there too.Every song on here is brilliant, listen to the fills the bass player is doing,
@jdcontrol I'm no expert but I heard it's not just the bass... According to an interview, Adrian & Roy also put a bass string on the guitar to achieve a deeper and fatter sound.
Sound is the rough board mix, I wonder why this is never uploaded with the nicely mixed CD audio for these 2 shows. (* I realize it's the alternate take from the other night - some rougher spots on the vocal and the intro melody is played out of tune.) One of my favorite things 'Scream for Me Brazil!"
I think this song is God talking to Archangel Michael II about whether to come back to earth. Dane Bane says that's who was in the unreleased music video for this song. Dane Bane says this song is about heaven coming and killing mankind.

This is the pinnacle of metal. Nothing compares.
One of the best Metal riffs ever
My life isn't complete until I see him do a live solo gig... I've seen him with Maiden 4 times now, but I need to see Bruce do his own stuff!
Bruce is the best vocalist who have ever lived!

@@VicSellsPeace dio cant be compared but bruce is kicking ass as well

"Come the dawning of the dead"!! love this chorus!
Steel is made of Bruce Dickinson...

This is MUSIC! And Bruce is the hell of a singer!!!! Best chorus ever
Cracking song.
Incredibly underrated
This song rocks!
Awesome song. I hope Bruce and Roy release a new cd sometime in the future.
Coming soon.
real soon now@@shovelheadseven
Classic...classic...!!! Bruce is god!!
Bruce sounds so amazing here, he’s got so much oomph behind his voice. He’s getting better with age, I think.
Fuckin amazing song.Favorite off the chemical wedding
How hard to sing live this song is. Unbelievable Grande Bruce
Hard to believe it's not a Maiden song. The Chemical Wedding is essential metal listening 🤘
It's too modern metal for Maiden, and if they did play it there would be not even half the effect of Roy's guys playing it with Smith and Dickinson. It's essential metal. 🤘
Roy Z. should be producing Maiden. Kevin Shirley is getting boring.
so is Accident of birth imo

Bruce Dickenson Amazes Me As A Musician With His Big Range Of Talented Vocals I Believe This Why I Consider Him #1 Fantantic Song🤗 🎤🎶 ♥
Best song on the album hands down. (Sream for me Brazil) . Not to b confused with the Chemical Wedding.
Michael Francis Well, Book of Thel is easily the best on Chemical Wedding
his voice has gotten better with age! like wine! hear him these days its soooo goooood
You know it’s a hard song to sing when Bruce is mostly standing still!
awesome!!!!!
damn those breaks and transitions in the middle fuck yeah!
Great !!! I was there in this day.... was a amazing show...
Lejos para mi gusto el mejor vocalista del heavy metal el gran bruce dickinson
TEMAZO Bruce !!!!!!
holy shit bruce has got one hell of a voice. would of been a sik concert to see.
The best song of him of all times and beyond!He is one and only!
UP TO IRONS!!! from Sarajevo!
This is classic

Awesome Song Amazing Instrumental Love This Band\m/
Só alegria 😂
Bruce and Adrian rock!!!

the good people of planet earth, yes, we are!!!! Brazilians!!!!!!!
why Maiden can't release something like that?
To me this sounds like if Iron Maiden played thrash metal (or something to that effect)
Because Maiden are Maiden and would be totally compromised if they tried to do something they are not (like they did with some songs in the early 90s) Awsome song, however!
Nostalgia
I wish maiden would allow Dickinson to open for them...and even play these tracks with him on a 3 guitar basis.

@@martinblackwhite what I lean is Bruce's band to open for maiden once... a best of Bruce followed by maiden would be epic
This song owns. Period.
Eu estive la...HEHEHEHE... LONG LIVE BRUCE!!!!!! LONG LIVE KING OF METAL!!!!!
Back when his voice was still great live. I can't listen any more, it breaks my heart.
i don't understand how he manage to suceed to the end of the concert by this singing style, his throat must be made of steel.
What a riff !!!
For them who say IRON MAIDEN don't need Bruce to be good. When accident of birth and this were released, we almost forgot IRON MAIDEN with BLAZE. And I'm a huge fan of maiden
el hombre definitivo
@SekTauBand I could be wrong, but I believe it is 1999. That night they recorded the "scream for me Brazil" live cd.
@SeeThroughHead1 It was well worth seeing. The guy (probably you?) was fantastic. He has a very powerful, expressive voice. All the best to him in music.
The guy who sings is Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden’s singer (a band totally worth giving a listen to)
Probably you already know it now
@bretman444 The Tower is fantastic also,great you did Bruce material...
I was going to but someone called me from the other end of the pub and i had to go and blah blah blah....
hahahhaa
Bass player looks like a Klingon, especially during the "oh-oh-oh" 's....AWESOME.
I think they recorded a couple of gigs. Some songs may not be the same shot as in the cd. There may be some overdubs in the cd as well...

Incorporates MacBeth into his song
Shakespeare is now Metal
My God
Man, he dug up some hard azz gangsters for a band, HARD!
I'm still waiting for someone who dares to sing a karaoke of this song!

sabbath sounding thts a dam good thing.....
sabbath was never this melodic

@jdcontrol I'm no expert but I heard it's not just the bass... According to an interview, Adrian & Roy also put a bass string on the guitar to achieve a deeper and fatter sound.
That's true.
Ah fuck... I think I just jizzed ny pants...

Eve says this is about the archangel Michael letting God come back to life.

HIS HAIR... :'(
why did you cut your amazing hair Brucey...
anybody say what year this was?
1999. hahah, 11 years after you finally got an answer!!
i agree with you. skunkworks kinda sucks, but the rest of the albums are awesome!
and Tyranny of Soul not? I think that all of Bruce albums are excelent -except Skunkworks-
I think this song is God talking to Archangel Michael II about whether to come back to earth. Dane Bane says that's who was in the unreleased music video for this song.
