As a 50 year old man who used to come home from High School every day and slam the "Live After Death" cassette tape in my stereo as I got in the door...it's real nice to see the younger generation appreciating where it all came from. Never thought I'd hear Iron Maiden sound like that. Excellent :)
I started listening music and being passionate about heavy music with Life After Death. Just a kid, less than 12 years, but looking at the album cover as it was the most precious jewel. Completely agree i couldnt think I would have 47 and people would still love this. Big huge for you mate!
Well said. I was fortunate enough to be at two of those four Long Beach Arena California shows recorded for Live After Death,,,Twisted Sister opened for them and they weren't too shabby either...
Dear God, this is simply beautiful. Stunning even. I am a lifelong professional musician touring for years and in a wide number of bands ranging from punk to metal to hardcore. And I just have to stop and comment on how much your version of this classic Iron Maiden song has touched my heart and soul. So moving it brought tears to my eyes. But you must understand that the original song represents a period of time in my life that was wonderful, young and free. To Gabbie Rae, keep on going and you will land somewhere great. You deserve success. And to Patrick, your reinterpretation of the song onto acoustic guitar was perfectly subtle and tasteful. Well done to all! Sincerely.
WOW!!!! I am speechless and so humbled by your comment. Thank you so very much for taking time to not only watch but to support, love and encourage. I'm glad our interpretation touched you. That's what it's all about. I look forward to sharing more and hopefully gaining a new fan. Thank you again! Peace & Love! ~ Gabbie Rae
WOW!!! Thank You So Much for such awesome and amazing support & encouragement! I appreciate every word. Looking forward to creating and sharing so much more with you. THANK YOU!!! ~ GR facebook.com/gabbieraerocks
Im gonna add another comment, your version of this song, brings the moral, the message of the song, so clearly to the front, one of those song that could pull a desolate person, OUT of the pit and make him focus.... ;) Thank you.
I have been listening and playing Iron Maiden for more than 20 years. This is the first time that I have really payed attention to the lyrics of this song.
This girl is amazing, this guy is unbelievable! Why You tube took so long to recomend me this preciousness with such musical quality? Instead I receive garbage everyday.
Been a Maiden fan since I was a wee teenager (43 Now) and will say you took a song that is dear to our heart and not only made it your own but did it with respect ... Awesome work.
A different cover of this song just popped up in my feed. I’m a huge Maiden fan, so I gave it a listen..it literally brought me to tears. I’m now going down the rabbit hole to see if another cover will hit me like that..this one did. I can honestly say that Maidens version has never brought me to tears. Lol
absolutely stunning. I love this maiden song so much. Adrian's touch. It stucked in my head from the first day I heard it; it was at my best friend's house and he has just bought "somewhere in time" and said "you have to listen to this one man". Second song on the record. I'll never forget. The intro riff, the guitar sound, the guitar solo everything floored me. And from the first day I picked up the guitar 20 (not wasted) years ago, I wanted to play this song. Now, I play it on a regular basis. Here's how you recognise a good song: slow down the tempo and play the song on a piano or an acoustic. If it sounds great, then you have a great song. If not it means your song relies too much on non musical elements (like distortion, delay,..).
As a fellow guitar player since the early 90s who tried to emulate all the shredders of the time. You are spot on my friend! The melody and lyrics of this song evoke nostalgia. Maiden is still my favorite trad. metal band. But as I'm sure you know. Inspiration doesn't grow on tress. So I listen to many different genres nowadays besides Rock and metal. There is an English gentleman that does Wasted Years by the name of Stuart Clifford who gave me chills when I heard it! There is so much unrecognized talent out there! Peace!
I really feel your cover of one of Iron Maiden's song. I am living in my Golden Years. A woman who stands beside me. A kiddo who looks up to me. Everything I didn't have in my 20s. Too busy then partying and womanizing.
GabbieRaeRocks actually thank you for replying so much time later, its like this is brand new again, Maiden is one of my all time Favorite bands and Wasted Years is my Favorite Maiden song...thank you for your interpretation...
I grew up with Iron Maiden and many of the other bands you cover and im always amazed at how good it is to hear these again in your style. Who knew someone could take classics like that and make them sound new again...lol
So privileged to see this young lady when she opened for Mike Tramp last year at the Whiskey then again in Corona...not even 16 yet and that girl was kicking ass!!!
I do not usually like Maiden covers... but this young lady... her voice... Great guitar to boot! WELL DONE!!!! UP THE IRONS! Well done!!!! Subscribed!!!!
I've been looking through Iron Maiden covers for the last 3 hours and this one is the best. The tempo, reverb, sound of the guitar and Gabbie's voice is beautiful.
I know it's going to sound superficial, even stupid, but this cover of yours… I think it saved my life today, literally. Thanks for the video, and thanks for covering this beautiful song. Just incredible, really.

Check out the acoustic version by Stuart Clifford.
It gave me wet eyes. Great cover too
Well said. I was fortunate enough to be at two of those four Long Beach Arena California shows recorded for Live After Death,,,Twisted Sister opened for them and they weren't too shabby either...
I did the same thing. I had the double album, but the same.
Damn, I had to check twice to make sure I didn't post this.
Been a maiden fan 40yrs. One of my favorites.. her voice gives me goose bumps. Great harmony.. and the guitar..... awesome

Its like a goose:)
I told my cat that this song is very nice.
My cat did not say anything.. But i dont think that matters. He is usually very quiet
Such a majestic rendition - such a great song. Maiden will be studied like Bach and Beethoven 400 years from now.
I can't decide which I like better - her amazing voice or his amazing guitar playing.
I was thinking the same thing, like wow!
Patrick kills it here, thoroughly impressed. Gabriela is magical as well.
WOW!!! Thank You So Much for such awesome and amazing support & encouragement! I appreciate every word. Looking forward to creating and sharing so much more with you. THANK YOU!!! ~ GR facebook.com/gabbieraerocks
for some weird reason when i look at ur singing partner i see jack black XD cuzz of his posture i think dunno why
\m/ Up the Irons
GabbieRaeRocks good
marco hout good
I got a little teary eyed. This captures the lyrics in a powerful way.
This song moves me to every extent of human existence and this version only amplifies that.
Best comment 👌
I travel alot and I always sing this song when I am in the air, I showed this video to my wife, she finally got why I like this song so much
Im gonna add another comment, your version of this song, brings the moral, the message of the song, so clearly to the front, one of those song that could pull a desolate person, OUT of the pit and make him focus.... ;) Thank you.
I agree with your assessment...one of the most positive messages ever.

Gives me goose bumps. Favorite song made even better! Thank you!
