It's just ridiculous, isn't it? I mean, it's just utterly ridiculous, how incredible these guys are. Inspirational is an understatement. Their energy and maturity; their performances; their skills, and their insane English legacy. The world is a better place because of Iron Maiden. That's a fact. No arguments. It's a fact.
Absolutely, no room for rationality or subjectivity with these guys, they are the best of any genre, of any time. Nothing to do with liking them or not, it's what they are and I struggle to think how they can be topped.
I've seen them 17 times live, in 4 countries, and 7 states. Both my son's saw Maiden for their first concerts. I'm wearing an Iron Maiden shirt while I'm typing this!! It is ridiculous!!!
Amazing how 6 guys in their 60's put out a show younger bands in their 20's are just capable of dreaming off, iron maiden is still relevant, greater as ever and relentless, call it a healthy lifestile, drugs free or just the passion for what they do, this band's just simply has no match. No heavy metal band is greater than iron maiden, and yes that is a statement!
@@Branflakes1522 I think another album soon...hope so.....they are so creative im sure they just dont sit relax when not on tour I bet they still write stuff...
This live performance is sooo underrated 🥺🥺🥺 it sounds better than album and everything is visually entertaining, from the way each one is performing to Eddie's antics, I can't stop rewatching!
@Ryan ConnollyYep I hear ya. For me his consistency is amazing. Be Quick or Be Dead. Man on the Edge. Ghost of Navigator / Silent Planet, Dance of Death, Talisman, Book of Souls. Those are all bangers and the peak of their respective albums.
How's this for a hot take? Were it not for minor yet distracting production flaws, The Book Of Souls would be Maiden's best album. I as well will not be taking questions.
I've totally cried tears of joy at a maiden show. Several times. Maiden just have a way of calming me into believing life is not all that bad after all.
ulinzho and the most ironic thing of it all is their name, Iron Maiden......that´s actually an unbelieveable cruel torture chamber a long time ago, and just think about it, now it´s the source of happiness and true feelings of contentment.......
There's something undeniably beautiful about this song, haunting, mesmerising, and releases a freedom in me. 40 years ago I thought this is a band that will surpass the others & will never fade. Through thick and thin, your music Iron Maiden always is a huge part of my life ❤
Fredde Larsson now I´ve seen some videos from their " Legacy of the Beast " tour, and I sincerely think Bruce´s voice is back on the level at 2005......it´s really pure magic, does his voice really age in reverse ???
Nothing will make me more happy and more excited when you see nicko stand up during a song cause you know he’s going to hit the that gong I will always love maiden no matter what and will show my kids this seen them 3 times 1st time with my dad in 2016 for the book of souls tpur the leagues of the beast tour and this tour 2023 thank you maiden 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦 will have your tattoo forever on me Eddie forever!!
My ranking of Book of Souls songs best to worst: 1. If Eternity Should Fail 2. The Book of Souls 3. The Red and the Black 4. Where the River Runs Deep 5. Empire of the Clouds 6. Tears of a Clown 7. Speed of Light 8. Shadows of the Valley 9. Death or Glory 10. The Great Unknown 11. Man of Sorrows
For me is: 1. The Red and The Black 2. If Eternity Should Fail 3. Empire of The Clouds 4. Shadows of The Valley 5. The Great Unknown 6. The Book of Souls 7. Tears of a Clown 8. Death of Glory 9. Man of Sorrows 10. Where The River Runs Deep 11. Speed of Light But i think 4-9 positions are really close between each other haha
This song, If eternity should fail, death or glory, Shadows of the valley, Empire of the Clouds, where the river runs deep - ah fuck it the whole album kicks ass! Keep it up guys!
koreye I think it´s unfair to compare theese two, they play entirely different music, as much as I love Pink Floyd, you must admit that Iron Maiden are the best " metal " band ever....
Totally agree, the energy level of this live version is extreme, it's like they're giving everything they got to their fans and trust me, that's something almost impossible to replicate in studio.
paul elliot Steve´s bass playing is something else, it´s a very personal, distinct and emotional way of playing, he´s downright stunning and makes it sound so easy...
When the album came out, I thought this has to be one of the greatest songs Maiden has ever written, later on I thought that it was just the excitement of a new album coming out. Now I’m listening to this again, but damn it still does it. The story, the melodies, the solos, all of it. It’s magical, it’s magnificent. A masterpiece. Up the irons!
I watch this video at least once every day or two. It brings me so much joy; an overwhelming feeling of euphoria. Seeing these guys perform is certainly a treat to behold, and I’m happy to say that I was able to have that experience a couple of months ago on the Legacy of the Beast Tour. I hope they keep on making music. Up the Irons!
A spellbinding, mythical and utter genius masterpiece !!! Their charisma and stage presence are as ever, breathtaking....And Iron Maiden, the Gods of heavy metal, or any metal, makes the song rise to the heights of magic !!!
What a gift to all of us. Your music and performances are among the all-time best. This song is absolutely incredible and I have the highest respect for each and everyone of you guys! Please stay well and keep making your beautiful music.
My love and admiration for the incredible guy Janick Gers is from here to eternity, to be able to write this outstanding masterpiece, I´m lost for words....this song is gold and utter genius....
He has written the most memorable songs of iron maiden in the recent years, anthems so to say, this is among the best of his arsenal, dance of death, montsegur, the talisman, ghost of the navigator and the list goes so on, the guy is a freaking genius for sure. Really to admire.
@@jesusguerra1093 and I do, with my entire heart, soul and mind....you know I saw them live in London 2018 for the first time ever, first to the barrier..the show was way beyond my wildest expectations and even if I left with two broken ribs, a back like a rainbow I´ll be in Chile october 15th, just to see the same show again, but this time in a country where the audience gives the show....a long time dream comes true.....
@@susannewilliamsson8339 hahaha nice story, i saw them the first time back im 2009 in th somewhere back in time tour in San Jose Costa Rica, the place was packed i was in the Dave Murray corner in awe watching my hero shredding with his magnanimus legato all those classics, best night in my life and they close with Hallowed be thy name, everyone was in tears when the gong hits in, and when they play rime of the ancient mariner was another special moment of the night, i saw the books of souls tour aswell back in 2016 same place but this time on Janick's corner and the man is a total showmanship not losing the tempo and a really awesome stamina, oh man no metal band gives more joy to the soul than Iron Maiden. I can't watch them this years because of my duties in my job, but hell enjoy my friend every single second of it.
@@jesusguerra1093 I will I promise....I´m a quite recent fan you know about six years but what they have given me in that time is beyond anything, I was their when the guys first appeared on the scene but somehow they got lost, in work, life you know the story....ever since I found them I´ve been so hooked that it actually scares me..I´ll be staying in Chile for two weeks just to explore the country, architecture, nature, wildlife aswell as the life of the general population...........but to see Maiden in Chile will be an experience of a lifetime..
If you watch some other Iron Maiden lives, they always do thing like that. It's part of their storytelling of the performance. BTW, we can't forget that they are british, they love to do that kind of jokes in serious moments (personally I like that). Up the Irons! (I'm late, three years late haha)
Well, that solo was so long, Bruce needed something to do XD In all seriousness though. It looks goofy on video, but you can bet that crowd was going wild with Eddie and Bruce. I can imagine when you're there, the excitement of waiting for Eddie to show up.

An IMMORTAL DEMONIC masterpiece, haunting from the first note, a remarkable mix of outstanding guitar harmonies, dazzling lyrics, brilliant solos and a powerful interpretation by Bruce......incredibly epic and genius all around !!
Theese guys have raised the bar, they don´t make classics anymore, they make IMMORTALS....the song, their performance, takes you beyond euphoria, far beyond !!!
@@burninsherman1037 I saw them in London in their Legacy of the Beast tour, the set list, stage settings and performances was way beyond my wildest expectations.....that´s why I´ll be in Chile in october to see them once more.....nothing avaiable on UA-cam could ever do them justice...
A friend told me to look up Maiden's last two albums; I hadn't followed them for years. Mein Gott - this is one of the most inspirational pieces of music I've ever heard. I'd say Renaissance but it's so, so much more.
Iron Maiden fills our souls with hits and rithms. They make us feel the stories behind the lyrics. Once someone said that it is a magic if the song and the lyrics are both very good. Actually the songs that they produce and the themes always fit very well.
This is my first maiden song and the part after @6:20 is absolutely amazing and the solos are so good … I’m gonna have a great journey listening to maiden.
Incredible how after 40 years they seem to get better and bigger than ever... I've got the 16 studio albums, 1 live album, 6 dvd's, 2 t-shirts, 1 pullover and a coffee cup of the band which is the sonour band of my life. I love the new era albums by the way. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸
As someone who has built the stages for this great band you've honestly no idea how much goes into putting these shows on 5 days to set up and 2 hours to break it all down
@@thediesel387 I'm not looking for thanks i just want people to look at the process and maybe see what goes into it and maybe come help us we are short staffed
There will never be a better band than Iron Maiden. The music never gets old, just keeps getting better and better just like the live shows. May they go on for ever, up the fuckin’ Irons
I’ve been a maiden fan since 1982 number of the beast album . They haven’t been to Ireland much so while I was on holidays in Albuferia in Portugal I decided to drive 2 hrs 45 mins to Seville in Spain to see them . To see these guys was a privilege and a highlight of my music loving life shared with my 13 yr old daughter . This song apart from hallowed be thy name ( which in my opinion is one of the best metal songs ever) was a highlight of the night and well worth the trip to see them . The musicianship the stagecraft the oneness with the crowd was unreal . 2 Irish people in the middle of 30,000 Spanish was a night I’ll never forget .
Recently been falling in love with iron maiden again. Their ability to play live just as well as they record is unreal, there is few modern bands that have that capability.
I attended the show in Santiago de Chile in March 2016 and it was an amazing presentation ... mixing classic songs with the new album ... I'm waiting for a new album that will leave us excited ... long live iron maiden. ..yeahh!!!
And to think that after this unbelievable masterpiece album called The Book of Souls we get nothing less than Senjutsu... my heart will be eternally divided trying to find my favorite Iron Maiden album... Up the f***ing Irons!!!
I waited about 9 hours in the rain for maiden at download!! They didnt let me down!! They never have!! Bestband on the planet hands down. Up the irons !!
Steve Harris is one of the most prolific story teller and has an intense knowledge of the folklore. And mythical knowledge . And a superb bassist. I heard he is a nice guy. My respect for Steve Harris 👊 and the rest of the band. Iron maiden name should be in the music Hall of Fame The condor69
Fábio Pitoli it´s never been underrated by me, I love this song as much as I love Maiden, and especially it´s composer, the absolutely outstanding Janick Gers.....
An INFERNAL touch of heaven.....Iron Maiden, unrivaled in the metal genre, NO other band creates music, incredible guitar harmonies, riffs, solos, epic, climbing bass line, thunderous drums, deep and thought provoking lyrics like Maiden......NONE...
The greatest performers, the greatest writers of music, the greatest mascot, the greatest guitarists, greatest bassist, greatest vocalist , 🤘up the irons🤘
That has to be the greatest 10 min of musical bliss nipple hardening harmonies ever created … amazing .. NOBODY IS CAPABLE of doing this … show me , tell me who , I dare you to try and compare .. I’ll wait ..
Theese guys don´t produce music anymore, they produce IMMORTAL masterpieces, the epicness is beyond belief, I honestly think theese guys have a genre of their own.....they are so superior to ANY other band that it´s frightening.......their music, performances, and lyrics will live forever, in our hearts, souls and minds.....
Words cannot describe how amazing this band and this performace is. I saw this tour stop in Tacoma enduring a 8 hour roundtrip drive in the process and it matched this in both quality and energy. These guys and Rush are forever tangled in a never ending deathmatch for my favorite band 😅
@@corsotheboy I do. His songs are absolutely epic, yet the guy acts like an ADHD moron on stage and his improvised solos are terrible. When he plays his own, it’s fine. Otherwise… ugh…
Janick proving once again why he belongs, and is an amazing song writer. The songs that Janick has written on all the reunion albums have been highlights and among the best on the albums
There's not many bands that can come close to sounding this good live. Phenomenal !!!
Can't even imagine my life without Iron Maiden!!! I want a time machine to go back to 1980 and enjoy all their career again!!!
Glad I saw them in the 80s, even better now.
Iron Maiden is and always will be the greatest band of all time
True! 🤘 ⚡
Still can't believe it's been like 8 years of this tour, i loved it so much!!! Hope they come back to more countries in South America 💜🤘🏻
i was there in sweden it was awsome but as you say cant belive its been 8 years

So, to be clear, you will not be taking questions?
@@NeurovisionGorn No, I will not be taking quest- DAMN IT!

This is just breathtakingly good, how bruce still has that magic in his vocie
ᚠᚱᛖᛞᚱᛁᚲ ᛫ ᚢᛚᚡᛖᚾ he is the Best. In this song he is suprem
Scream For Me In almost every song of this incredible album he´s supreme....
Bruce dickinson... worlds greatest vocalist, who fought cancer, and after that still remains worlds greatest vocalist
And that was only talking about his vocal capabilities, now let's talk about his frontmanship...
Fredde Larsson now I´ve seen some videos from their " Legacy of the Beast " tour, and I sincerely think Bruce´s voice is back on the level at 2005......it´s really pure magic, does his voice really age in reverse ???
Man, listening back to those songs in 2023, I realize how I love The Book Of Souls. My second favorite album post 2000s.
This is not just music. It's a vision... an ancient vision...
No band in history has captured my soul like these guys have for almost 40 years
MAIDEN 4/LIFE
Nothing will make me more happy and more excited when you see nicko stand up during a song cause you know he’s going to hit the that gong I will always love maiden no matter what and will show my kids this seen them 3 times 1st time with my dad in 2016 for the book of souls tpur the leagues of the beast tour and this tour 2023 thank you maiden 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦 will have your tattoo forever on me Eddie forever!!

Es el mejor del maldito universo
This song is my favorite of 21st century Maiden.
Holy shit that charging 8:17 . Perfect !
Words cannot describe how phenomenal Bruce sounds in this one ...
This is the best song of the album. 10/10
Hard to pick only one... Empire of the clouds and The Red and the Black are also brilliant!!
My ranking of Book of Souls songs best to worst:
1. If Eternity Should Fail
2. The Book of Souls
3. The Red and the Black
4. Where the River Runs Deep
5. Empire of the Clouds
6. Tears of a Clown
7. Speed of Light
8. Shadows of the Valley
9. Death or Glory
10. The Great Unknown
11. Man of Sorrows
Marc Andrew Narimatsu really? I quite like the man of sorrows but as I said the whole album is soooo good still kicks ass def the best recently
For me is:
1. The Red and The Black
2. If Eternity Should Fail
3. Empire of The Clouds
4. Shadows of The Valley
5. The Great Unknown
6. The Book of Souls
7. Tears of a Clown
8. Death of Glory
9. Man of Sorrows
10. Where The River Runs Deep
11. Speed of Light
But i think 4-9 positions are really close between each other haha
Miles Hodges
IMO the first two and a half minutes of “The Man of Sorrows” is kinda boring. It gets better from the chorus to the end of the song.
Saw Book of Souls with my son in Sydney Australia. Was just fabulous.
I hope you got to take him to the Future Past shows - they were awesome as well
Мэйден это легенда! Ярко, динамично, творчески, разнообразно. Спасибо за то, что Вы есть, за Ваше рок-наследие!

Agree
This live version is better than the studio one... how is that even fucking possible?
I think the production of theese videos is in outstanding quality...
because it’s iron maiden that’s why. no other band or singer can do that. no one can debate that
because their magical chemistry and breathtaking stage performances doesn´t come thrugh in studio recordings nor their immens charisma, that´s why...
Totally agree, the energy level of this live version is extreme, it's like they're giving everything they got to their fans and trust me, that's something almost impossible to replicate in studio.

One of the best songs of Iron Maiden. It gets better every time I listen to it. But seriously, that Eddie performance made this masterpiece a comedy.
Could have done without ball scratchin' Eddie...
Yeah, I get your point and I share it. But that's basically Maiden's humor, so it's kinda fine after all.
But sure... a classy song didn't need that.

The Book Of Souls is one of the best Maiden album.... for me its one of the greatest of all times ⌚ !!!
Of course the homonymous song is amazing !!!
Bruce is on fire. He can sing live a difficult song like this one easily. And he is master of breathing.
Sacrifices buried with kings
Accompany them on a journey with no end
To an afterlife thats rich with fruit of all the gods
And to face the demons of their underworld haunts
The sentient is sent to seek out all the truth
A flight to earth that is a given from his birth
To rise from ashes of the dead
Out of the fire is sent to fulfil mans desire
By power day and night and death he ruled them
The sky and earth and the fires too
Two headed reptile symbol of his reign
Universes of the underworld
A life thats full of all the wealth and riches
Can never last for an eternity
After living in a golden paradise
The ultimate sacrifice
Prophecy of sky gods the sun and moon
Passing of old ways will come true soon
Falling of ages forest of kings
The search for the truth the book of souls
The rulers of planets and stars
The power of the kings of traders and the wars
Planetry cycles and the phases of the moon
Is in the document a kingdom they will learn
They were praying to the gods of nature
And were living in the cities of stone
Towers reaching upward to the heavens
Sacred wonders for the world unknown
Make their lives be a mystery no more
Records kept and the passing of laws
Sacred gods to the book of lies
When a civilization dies
Prophecy of sky gods the sun and moon
Passing of old ways will come true soon
Falling of ages forest of kings
The lost book of souls destruction begins
Ascending the throne wearing feathers and shells
He brought back their lives from the void
Alien invasion brings nothing but death
Mass exodus and plant life destroyed
Domain of the earth to the journey of truth
The underworld caves mayan slaves
Defeat of the dark lords the ultimate proof
In the place where the ancestors rule
The book of souls
amazing lyrics
Pura historia, de la historica Civilización Maya!!

Bruce voice is Amazing!
Agreed! It's like listening to the stereo version, just better!
No shit
This should go viral!
I agree, he is an amazing singer, His vocals are hard to replicate for me but I try all the time 😁
"Look in my eyes" A true masterpiece!!! Maiden has NEVER let the world down!! UP THE IRONS!!! from Pennsylvania
Legendary! No other word is needed
Steve Harris’ bass sound is amazing, chunkier than a bowl of beef stew and thicker than a bowl of oatmeal! Hell yeah Up the Irons!
I'm grateful for being able to say that I lived during Iron Maiden's carreer
An IMMORTAL DEMONIC masterpiece, haunting from the first note, a remarkable mix of outstanding guitar harmonies, dazzling lyrics, brilliant solos and a powerful interpretation by Bruce......incredibly epic and genius all around !!
I am one of the luckiest persons who have watched this concert live in Castle Donnington. Long live Iron Maiden. Love you ...\m/...
I was there as well. So rainy & muddy but absolutely worth it. I nicknamed the weekend the Drownload festival. 😆
That was my first and only download festival 😂 I absolutely loved it though
Theese guys have raised the bar, they don´t make classics anymore, they make IMMORTALS....the song, their performance, takes you beyond euphoria, far beyond !!!
Best comment on Maiden Ever!!!
@@johndata88 thank you, your words mean the world to me....
I'm looking forward to seeing them later this year in Dallas. They're one of those bands I'd never forgive myself for not seeing.
@@burninsherman1037 I saw them in London in their Legacy of the Beast tour, the set list, stage settings and performances was way beyond my wildest expectations.....that´s why I´ll be in Chile in october to see them once more.....nothing avaiable on UA-cam could ever do them justice...
@@susannewilliamsson8339 hell yeah, I'm even more pumped now.
A friend told me to look up Maiden's last two albums; I hadn't followed them for years.
Mein Gott - this is one of the most inspirational pieces of music I've ever heard. I'd say Renaissance but it's so, so much more.
The best band, ever. Any other opinion is wrong.
AgentFour nope
AgentFour I completely agree, theese guys are immortals !!!!
the gods never dies....lives eternally...
maiden4greece lives eternally in our hearts, souls and minds.......their music is immortal !!
the band of souls.......maidenmania forever..........
Iron Maiden fills our souls with hits and rithms. They make us feel the stories behind the lyrics. Once someone said that it is a magic if the song and the lyrics are both very good. Actually the songs that they produce and the themes always fit very well.
The way Bruce's voice echos in this is just amazing. Wow.
My six Bastards forever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have teardrops in my eyes 😭😭😭🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
No disease can touch this man,this band..... after so long they still show why they are the best ever, and no band in the world can compare with them
The greatest song of the band IMO. Thank you Iron Maiden
This is my first maiden song and the part after @6:20 is absolutely amazing and the solos are so good … I’m gonna have a great journey listening to maiden.
Up the fucking Irons.....I am51yrs. I listen to maiden at least once a week sometimes I binge been a fan 41yrs.
I love the solo's of this song, gives me so much energy. Masterpiece of the album!
Incredible how after 40 years they seem to get better and bigger than ever... I've got the 16 studio albums, 1 live album, 6 dvd's, 2 t-shirts, 1 pullover and a coffee cup of the band which is the sonour band of my life. I love the new era albums by the way. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸
As someone who has built the stages for this great band you've honestly no idea how much goes into putting these shows on 5 days to set up and 2 hours to break it all down
Well thanks but I mean, you do get paid, right ?
@@thediesel387 I'm not looking for thanks i just want people to look at the process and maybe see what goes into it and maybe come help us we are short staffed
@@piezerchief if your still looking for someone I could use a job , if it means I get to see my favorite band
The fast part of this song is a total headbanger. Love this song so much
They still sound excellent after all these decades!
Been a maiden fan since 2005, before a matter of life and death came out
Master piece. You gotta love Maiden epics songs. The bass work is amazing. This tour was fantastic. I was lucky to them in Sao Paulo, Brasil
When you think what Dickinson has been through his singing is little short of amazing. Up the Irons !
The man is a God amongst men.
There are my words✌️✌️✌️👍👍
There will never be a better band than Iron Maiden. The music never gets old, just keeps getting better and better just like the live shows. May they go on for ever, up the fuckin’ Irons
Lepšie než štúdiova nahrávka a tie sóla sú úžasné a všetko je super zahrané
I’ve been a maiden fan since 1982 number of the beast album . They haven’t been to Ireland much so while I was on holidays in Albuferia in Portugal I decided to drive 2 hrs 45 mins to Seville in Spain to see them . To see these guys was a privilege and a highlight of my music loving life shared with my 13 yr old daughter . This song apart from hallowed be thy name ( which in my opinion is one of the best metal songs ever) was a highlight of the night and well worth the trip to see them . The musicianship the stagecraft the oneness with the crowd was unreal . 2 Irish people in the middle of 30,000 Spanish was a night I’ll never forget .
I've seen them 8 times in Ireland :)
I was supposed to see them in Belfast 3 weeks ago . Thanks Covid
Impossible to not love this song.
Fantastic Energie Power musicians..and Bruce voice is excellent...amazing...THE guys are very talented...
Man if seeing Eddie come out doesn't make you smile and get goosebumps....then you just don't get it man.
GREATEST BAND EVER
Jenick in this song is awesome!!!
Recently been falling in love with iron maiden again. Their ability to play live just as well as they record is unreal, there is few modern bands that have that capability.
I attended the show in Santiago de Chile in March 2016 and it was an amazing presentation ... mixing classic songs with the new album ... I'm waiting for a new album that will leave us excited ... long live iron maiden. ..yeahh!!!
uff temazo como siempre dando los mejores espectáculos en sus conciertos.
Grande IRON MAIDEN
ainda mas essi solo
BEST LIVE ACT PERIOD.
And to think that after this unbelievable masterpiece album called The Book of Souls we get nothing less than Senjutsu... my heart will be eternally divided trying to find my favorite Iron Maiden album... Up the f***ing Irons!!!
I waited about 9 hours in the rain for maiden at download!! They didnt let me down!! They never have!! Bestband on the planet hands down. Up the irons !!
This isn´t a simple song, tune or melody......this is AN IMMORTAL ANTHEM.....worthy of universal praise..
Steve Harris is one of the most prolific story teller and has an intense knowledge of the folklore. And mythical knowledge . And a superb bassist. I heard he is a nice guy. My respect for Steve Harris 👊 and the rest of the band. Iron maiden name should be in the music Hall of Fame
The condor69
I absolutely loved the live version. Iron Maiden are indeed great musicians.
The Title song is SO UNDERATED. It's a fucking masterpiece, and i love it
Fábio Pitoli it´s never been underrated by me, I love this song as much as I love Maiden, and especially it´s composer, the absolutely outstanding Janick Gers.....
Fábio Pitoli Pretty common that the title song are among the best songs in maiden album (obviusly Final frontier is a exception)
Tomas Benitez that comment can also apply to the sensational AMOLAD.....
My favourite on the album. I would actually like to see Metallica do a cover of it. I think it has flavour/style that would suit them. Just a thought.
L C I´m sorry, but if Metallica ever made a cover of this magical song it would be the ultimate joke ...
The studio recording of The Book of Souls takes my breath away, but there are no words for this recording. It just dazes me into a mystical trance
Great song!
Iron maiden is the best band at including theatrical themes into their shows. It's so much more than a musical performance.
This is the best band no option otherwise matters ONLY MADIEN!
An INFERNAL touch of heaven.....Iron Maiden, unrivaled in the metal genre, NO other band creates music, incredible guitar harmonies, riffs, solos, epic, climbing bass line, thunderous drums, deep and thought provoking lyrics like Maiden......NONE...
The greatest performers, the greatest writers of music, the greatest mascot, the greatest guitarists, greatest bassist, greatest vocalist , 🤘up the irons🤘
That has to be the greatest 10 min of musical bliss nipple hardening harmonies ever created … amazing .. NOBODY IS CAPABLE of doing this … show me , tell me who , I dare you to try and compare .. I’ll wait ..
Theese guys don´t produce music anymore, they produce IMMORTAL masterpieces, the epicness is beyond belief, I honestly think theese guys have a genre of their own.....they are so superior to ANY other band that it´s frightening.......their music, performances, and lyrics will live forever, in our hearts, souls and minds.....
Yes, true. You draw up very well by the way. You can depict things in a precise way.
Words cannot describe how amazing this band and this performace is. I saw this tour stop in Tacoma enduring a 8 hour roundtrip drive in the process and it matched this in both quality and energy.
These guys and Rush are forever tangled in a never ending deathmatch for my favorite band 😅
Welcome to the club. 🤘 ⚡
Janick Gers is a genius songwriter, he should get much more credit.
He needs to stick to writing. His on-stage antics are ridiculous (in a bad way) and he butchers Murray's and Smith's solos.
@@hugolafhugolaf So u know a little bit of Music my friend :)
@@corsotheboy I do. His songs are absolutely epic, yet the guy acts like an ADHD moron on stage and his improvised solos are terrible. When he plays his own, it’s fine. Otherwise… ugh…
@@hugolafhugolaf I guess we dont know more than Steve for keeping him in the band right?
@@corsotheboy The same Steve who felt Blaze Bailey was a good replacement for Bruce?
Maiden make the world a better place
Thank you so much janick gers for this masterpiece and for other incredible songs that you've created
a band from my youth if you close your eyes nothing has changed real rock legends bow down....
I cry every time I listen to Adrian's solo...
Brings joy to my heart too. Somehow so nostalgic and full of emotions.
And another best solo The writing on the wall
@Celestial Dragoness truly said
Janick proving once again why he belongs, and is an amazing song writer.
The songs that Janick has written on all the reunion albums have been highlights and among the best on the albums
