I must admit, Boris Johnson is an awesome drummer !!! 😂 Superb song, love it ! 😍🎸👌🔥🔥🔥
Bwahaha
That’s hilarious
🤘🤣🤘
PMSL!
Hairdos will kick it back :D
At last someone realises this is a top shelf Maiden track. I think it always gets overlooked. Thanks guys.
Arguably their best song.
@@stephenharrison7514 Most def one of their most lyrically meaningful. Great song.
Pretty sure most Maiden fans realise it and there`s a lot of us .
Huh? Wasted Years is one of Maiden’s highest charting singles and always on lists of best Maiden songs. It’s NEVER overlooked.
@@XXjg_
And probably also one of the most covered on UA-cam.
I once tried to find some acoustic cover I heard years ago, took me ages, was about to give up when I finally found it.
Man, that solo was perfect!
It was! I didnt think he could do it but it was perfect. I wish I was that good.
You ain't kidding!!
@@LeeFieroits difficult especially if you try to play it exactly like the recording but this is pretty close very good job even adrian smith him self play it exactly like the recording in live gigs
Adrian Murray or Dave Smith would be proud
Yeah, dude nailed it!
Probably the best Iron Maiden cover I've ever heard. This is fantastic.
This is easily the best sounding cover of Wasted Years that I have found on UA-cam!
Agreed.....not even a close second.
.....by far (clever move to bring female vocals in to it)
Check out The Iron Maiden’s (female cover band) with their original singer… Aja Kim.
Ian Zumback- Wasted years cover is great too
This one is not bad either.

What the hell!!! A perfect band where EVERY single musician is doing a perfect job. Just WOW!
The bassist harmonies are incredible.
💯 %!
Well Steve Harris had a lot of musical input. This album is more Adrian Smith but usually Harris writes the songs, so he probably doesn't write himself boring bass lines.
Так гармония или манера исполнения.????....Это две большие разницы... Не думал , что Iron Maiden - это ,, женская " песнЯ...
Vocals, guitars, bass, drums…everything was perfect!
Appreciated how they got the volume correct on the bass parts, every time I hear someone cover this song, you can barely make out the bass. The attention to detail that the geeks put into every song they cover is what sets them apart from the rest. One of my favorite groups of musicians .
Honestly I was waiting to hear the bass come in to make my decision if I'm listening to the rest of the song. It didn't disappoint.
Absolutely agree , bass line is awesome
Great bassist
the only ones worth mentioning here was the bass player and the drummer ...
Richie absolutely nailed the bass tone and figures. Top shelf.
So easy for Anne Marie!!! She's absolutely killed that ... and with so much passion!
She's a fantastic vocalist.
Quando puder dá uma olhada na versão do Raphael Mendes
Awesome lungs on that one!
Easy😂😂😂 she’s a woman a guy trying to sing this sing is almost impossible, I sing adtrist me is impossible, plus her voice is 5 to 10 , Dickinson is 100 of 10
I think with Emily doing choirs in refrain will be even better.
Wow! Very nice work indeed. I was very happy to stumble on this, and I'm a 53 yr old Maiden fan.
58 here.
@@jeffsanders663 55 here 🙂
61 here.
53 myself
There’s nothing more exhilarating as watching and listening to exceptionally talented musicians completely nail a song on all levels! This was killer! 👊👍🇨🇦
Graziano SMOKED the solo! Great job guys and gal!!
nice work with great emotion. The end runs and the final whammy bar dives were awesome. Was that skeleton's name again, Eddie? Came popping in my brain.
Only using 6 strings too!!
Boris Johnson on drums wasn't bad either!
Slick tone..is he playing a Jackson?
@@JoeJoe-uy6ck Adrian Smith"s white Jackson signature model I think
I've been a Maiden fan for 30+ yrs. The whole band is great but that solo?! Probably the best rendition of Adrian's solo I've ever heard! Aces, man.
Awesome! The female vocals are beautiful and very suitable for this song, Thank s a lot!
Almost all good Maiden covers have female singers. Bruce's reigster is just too damn high. Half the time he's past tenor into the soprano register on the high notes. From a technical standpoint peobably one of the most impressive singers outside of opera. And those guys can't sing Maiden either. Try asking them to sing past the high C. They'll probably smirk and say that's not possible.
what amazing voice, absolutely astonishing band.
Wow! Gave me goosebumps!! Awesome job!😊
Man! That guitar solo was damn good. I’m a drum guy and could comment all day about how the drummer nailed it, he did, but damn, those guitars were singing!!!! 👍
That's pretty sick, folks! Top shelf...
I close my eyes and think about this performance whenever I need a lil' sunshine in my heart.
Many, many hours of HARD WORK and just for us to enjoy; Thank You Band Geeks! ♥️👏♥️
The best cover of wasted years I've heard, & nice to hear crystal clear bass, & boy can he play it, Steve Harris would be impressed 🤘
Headphones or good speakers are a must to appreciate this fully.
Nice !!!
This is the song that got me into Iron Maiden 🤘🤘🤘 up the irons!!!
Was a long time ago when I last got goosebumps over this song, have simply heard it so many times. Hat off
You guys fukin rock man. This gal has a great voice. Wow, you are all GREAT MUSICIANS MAN.
❤❤
Ich liebe diese Version....ihre Stimme ist unglaublich.
Absolut fantastisch....😍😍
Probably the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Even one of the guitar players looked like Dave Murray. Well done.
You mean Adrian Smith?
@@Bendit1974 nope. I mean Dave Murray.
@@petersideris6216 definitely. The left hander🤘
As much as I would like to agree...
ua-cam.com/video/TQOSXcPfNwE/v-deo.html
Neither guitarist looks like Dave Murray
All the band is great and Her voice is amazing! 👍👊👊👏👏👏
One of my favorite Iron Maiden Songs!, well done!
My favorite covers you do are with Anne singing!!! Always a treat. Everyone nailed it.
Both Andys on top form and Ann Marie killing it. 👍👍👍
Congratulations on 100k! I honestly believe your channel should have at least 1M subscribers by now.
I can listen to Ann Marie sing anything and everything!
Up The Irons! Well done!
Up The Irons!
The logical progression from “Close to the Edge.” Well done! 🤘🏻
This absolutely made me smile. Takes me back to 9th grade, the year this album came out and the year I started playing guitar seriously. I can still smell that Somewhere in Time cassette tape -- it had a sweet scent for some reason. This was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. Great attention to detail on the bass part Richie... brings the song alive!
Well performed! Good energy! :)
Blown away by these Geeks, one of the few vids that I watch more than once!!
Andy G. killed it. And the bass tone is perfecto.
Great way to kick off the weekend!
Wow that was bloody brilliant and never heard that performed by a female singer. You all nailed it and the bassist was class.
Killer. Great vocals. Love this song so much.
Band Geeks: Everything you do brings me such joy. ❤
Congratulations on the well deserved 100k! Can't go wrong with a bit of maiden! Really good version. Thanks
Real and true perfection... absolutely loved it
FANTASTIC JOB 🤘🤘
Geezus....this is epic. Outstanding playing (and singing). No wonder Jon Anderson wanted this band to back him on tour.
When Adrian Smith got more involved in the writing, IM really matured as a band. This album and 7th son were their golden Era to me,, they were trying so much different stuff. Top notch cover of this song, great singer !
100%
His songs were standouts from the Em, D, C Maiden formula and gave them the much needed variety.
Although this one is in Em...
@@jfo3000 oh sometimes they changed it up and did Em C D.. lol
Very true, 7th son was the best of maiden
Really miss you guys together the way you were.
Great job, guys! 👏👏👏🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Excellent song choice... We need more Sunday shows.... Miss our fam....
🔥🎸🔥
MY FAV IRON MAIDEN SONG!!! YOU GUYS FREAKING ROCK!!! EDDIE APPROVES!!!
Very tasteful performance by everyone! Thank you for sharing this.
I must ask for the reason that you have made Roman's 2:19 your user name!?
I thumbed this up after a minute. Fantastic cover of a great song! 👍
Wow. Really good. Thanks.
Wooo Hoooo - The Triumphant return of the Band Geeks and Anne Marie. GREAT TOON. Awesome to see you all again. Keep on Rockin !!!!
What a exceptional performance! Bravo!
You have an amazing voice. I hope so the original Iron Maiden band will to listen your cover song. Big hug all of you from Hungary.❤
GET IT GIRL GO FING GET IT SLAY THAT ....!!!!!! that was great
The BEST cover of one of my most favorite Iron Maiden song! As I reached 40, about to turn 42 at the end of summer, I became nostalgic. My past may not be that great. I had my fun in my 20s. It wasn't until my late 30s I realized, I am living in my Golden Years. A great woman at my side. A daughter who looks up to me.
The song hits different as time goes by. And each time the phrase "Golden Years" hits harder. And yet I keep wasting every year as it passes by. Didn't listen to Maiden for 10 years. Got back into it. Of course with Somewhere Back in Time. I have to admit l had to fight off the tears a little. Finally gonna learn it on guitar. Never went past the opening.
damn... i have been listening to maiden for over 35 years now..... think this is the overall best Wasted years cover in the web.. Extremely accurate in all aspects!! keep on!!! Wow Boom!!!

Brilliant!
A powerful voice without the force screech of so many today congrats great cover
OUTSTANDING!!!!! This is one of my favorite songs by Iron Maiden and know it inside and out, and the attention to detail you guys gave it was phenominal. Steve Harris is a hard bassist to follow and Richie did him justice. The solo was perfect, and the Anne Marie was dead on, too. Was hard to imagine a woman singing Maiden, but once I heard, all fears were gone. NO, I didn't forget the drums, Nicko is also hard to imitate sometimes, but drums were on point, too. I think out of any band I have seen in concert, Maiden has to be the one I have seen the most.
Madness... 😎This is pure rock... Just mega... Nothing to add to that🤘🤘🤘
Been a maiden fan since 1978. Fantastic cover!
It is amazing how many good covers are on UA-cam. Well done.
Bass player sleighed it 🤘
Nice job everyone 🤘
Yep, the bass line kicks ass
Without a doubt my favorite Maiden song, such passion and a message we should all heed, especially me! I'm a low end fanatic, love bass and drums, these guys are extraordinary! And the singer sure got some pipes on her! 😍😍
Loved it. From start to finish. Up The Irons! Greetings from Sweden.
Really good cover. Love how the bass is so loud! Voice is top notch.
Holy smokes my favorite Iron Maiden song from my favorite musicians!!
SOLO WAS SLAYED! Wow, sounds great! Geeks rule! 🤘
I have been enjoying watching the guitarists headphones slide down :D
Brilliant cover!
One of the best covers I've seen for this song.
Ann Marie nailed it. Great job by all. Andy Graziano is a monster guitar player. He's forgiven for being a Yankees fan
Ill be nice cuz ur a rangers fan😉
Awesome job guys!!! Congrats in 100k subs!!!!!
Ann's voice is PERFECT for this song! You guys sound great! And having watched lots of covers on UA-cam, it's refreshing to see you into PLAYING and not the camera!
One of the best covers of my favorite songs from the Maidens... great job guys...!!!
Another awesome cover. It's such a treat when you drop these!
OK HONESTY TIME! This is one of my favorite songs of all times. When I 1st saw the woman in there I was like "OH GREAT, let's see how she ruins this..." OMG I WAS SO WRONG!!!! She kicks ass!!!! You guys did a great job! (just found out her name, Ann Marie. Great voice!)
Check out their cover of Jet city woman. Kristen Starkey sings and she's Amazing!
+1🔥
Somewhere in time is my favourite Maiden album. You guys nailed it and the lady singer seems to be absolutely superb and every song she turns her hand to.
Ann Marie Nacchio, great vocals!
One of my favorite Maiden tunes. Didn't miss a note... thank you!
You nailed that solo. Brought tears to my eyes! Great cover
Favorite Maiden track of all time. 🤘
Beautifull, Great!!!
Another classic! Sounds so good
Good Lord you guys are GREAT! I can't believe you only have 100k subscribers, you deserve a million
I've watched this 10 times in the last two weeks. So good.
Geddy Lee singing Iron Maiden rocks! Superb rendition!
And Alex Lifeson on the drums! haha
Your voice is laser beam perfect!! So great! Thanks for doing this. See you guys at NJPAC.
Awesome ... Everyone is enjoying playing... A joy to listen too 👍
My favorite Maiden song and you killed it. Thanks for that!
That was brilliant. I saw iron maiden do this on the last tour and your version was better 🤘🎸❤️
Hey guys,
This song is one of my favorite of all times. And it certainly is one of the best cover of this song I've seen. Keep on rockin.
Thanks
THIS ROCKS - what a perfect cover - unbelievable!!
Great job. The mix, top notch!
Best intro execution i've ever see so far... great guitar work
Truth. UA-cam is full of guitar players that have butchered the intro. None come close to the way Adrian plays it.
