This song is one of my personal favorite Iron Maiden songs, if you are interested, check out Bruce's version on the death on the road tour, its been made into a dvd so you can find an clip of it on youtube.
Bruce is better by far,BUT I think that Blaze voice fits very well for the album's vibes,which is very dark and hollow mainly because Steve was struggling through his divorcie and his father's death.Anyways Blaze is a good singer,but you can't compare mortals with gods
The next song up is called Man on the Edge, and it’s based off of a Michael Douglas movie called Falling Down, and it’s on Netflix, I recommend you watch it before listening to the song
There are 2 B-sides that should have been on the album. Justice of the Peace and Judgement Day. Both were B-sides to Man on the Edge which was the first single from the album
So we miss Bruce. That's a given. However, is it the guitar work that is truly letting the side down? Does this band miss Adrian more than anything else?
Yes! .. but they’re missing allot of other things as well. Its a disaster! They should have taken some years off and reenergized. They are workhorses though! I’ll give ‘em that!
@@helgaratbone1691 I'm glad we got these albums. They aren't perfect by any means but neither are any of their other albums, nothing is without it's flaws. The band had to go through this period to become who they are today. There's a good reason the current 6 man lineup is the longest running.
Sounds weird at first, but his departure was inevitable, Adrian would have turned Maiden after Seventh son to an even more progrock radio group! Yes, the albums and songs are less good but at least they get heavier again!
Actually Bruce prefers "The sign of the cross" to this one since he sings it live and this one doesn't. P.S. I have seen both Bruce and Blaze live in Rome and I must say that Blaze is not at all poor as many (cazzaroni) say. Ciao Hurm1t.
Essa musica é muito boa, tem um groove legal e o solo é bem viajante lembrando o solo da Where Eagle Dare. Mas outra faixa que é destaque desse disco e que deveria abrir o disco é a speed "Man On The Edge". E para fechar o disco tinha que ser a épica "Sign of the Cross". Mais uma inversão na ordem das faixas nesse disco.
Honestly this song is one of my favorites from this album, mostly because it's based on the book which I loved. I think the riffs are badass, Blaze sounds cool, lyrics are great, and that awsome harmonized riff towards with Blaze's woahs gives me shivers man. I think you are pretty picky when it comes to solos and I even though I love my solos, the rest of the song was good that a okay solo like that one doesn't ruin the song for me.
Just realised Mr Hurn1t react to a live version of Sign of the Cross from the current The Legacy of the Beast tour 2022 with Bruce singing it, there isn't an official video as far as I'm aware. If you look up Earnest Nesbit on RUclips a version from 2018 recorded in Birmingham England, or simply type in Iron maiden Birmingham 2018 and his list comes up, also I was at this concert to right near the front oh was incredible AWSOME, there are flashing lights in it though so don't know If you would be able to watch it. It's a good version though. As you will see the whole of the performance was recorded oh go on react to the whole Iron Maiden The Legacy of the Beast tour Birmingham 2018. It was fabulous.
Bruce sang some of this songs including this one (hello Janick for playing completly different the intro) and they were alright because the band play them faster. So that part we cant blame Blaze.
An alright song for this album. Yes, it's about the book. Also could reflect today's social media. I think you are spoiled on Iron Maiden's guitar solos during the golden age of Maiden. It's a tough comparison to make Hurm.
People don't like change when the change isn't good, it's not that complicated. If what you're saying was true, Blaze's solo stuff would be held in a much higher regard but it isn't, even if it's better than The X Factor.
@@DM-rc4yu I agree. If this album was released by an unknown band, I personally doubt it would be remembered or recognised by other than a handful of people. But hey, I could be wrong and we’ll never know.
I really think you should watch the official posts of these songs. Something about these lyric versions seems really off, the quality is super dulled down and muffled sounding
Death On The Road Tour 2003 CD Bruce does a cracking vision of this song on off the highlights of that concert I love this song and Blaze is cracking on this as well live but unfortunately they is no live CD concert with blaze singing on this tour but they is a some bootlegs of the concerts with are very good
This has always been my favourite song from the album. No critique, but I noticed you're very picky when it comes to guitar solos. I usually take them as they are. There is a mistake in the lyric video btw. It should read "Something WILLING us to be lord of the flies".
You check out Fortunes Of War off this same lp. I personally like the jam. It has more hooks and change ups. Nothing spectacular in the vocals. Steve Harris kills the bass. Good beat in the song.
God -- does this era of iron maiden pale in comparison to every other. This flat out sucks. I've heard local garage bands put out better music than this.
Please just get through the songs on these two albums ASAP Hurm and in a few weeks you’ll be on Brave New World. Adrian’s solos from there onwards are mind blowing and are in my opinion even better than his work in the 80s.
That's my problem with Iron Maiden, they are absolutely amazing, but the guitar solos are too short compared to other bands. Anyways, they're the best.
You just haven't heard enough Maiden songs apparently. Seventh son of a seventh son has somewhat 3 minutes long solo, same long as The duellist, Flash of the blade's solo is more than one minute (in an all in all 4 minutes long song), and many of their songs have even two separate solos.
This song is ok but like most of their songs in this era, too flat, single-paced, repetitive and dull (as others have put it) for my liking. To be clear, it has nothing to do with comparing to other eras.
This is one of the good songs (Man on a Edge too) but it’s still not great. It’s only good. Janick Gers really changed the sound of the guitars - sorry, I still think he’s unnecessary.
Truly uninspired and uninspiring years for Iron Maiden. The best Blaze era songs are worse than 90% of their previous material, the rare exceptions being some of FOTD and NPFTD songs.

One of the highlights of that setlist
Very under rated song. Yeah Bruce kills this on that tour.

Wolfsbane is a great band and Blaze fits perfectly with them.
Man on the Edge is my favourite, I think it's about the movie Falling Down.
It is
The first 3 songs are the best 3. Man on the Edge is my favorite off the album.
I agree, Man on the Edge has the most memorable and catchy chorus on the album
Like the song, like the album, I've got no issues with Blaze. It's just a different chapter in Maiden's history, like the Di'Anno years.
Man Blaze so much respect!!
The release of the first author's song by Diana Ankudinova will take place today. At 17:00 Moscow time
Hurm1t. Agree with you on this song, however, next song Man on the Edge is the best by a mile. Based on the film Falling Down… 🤘
The next song up is called Man on the Edge, and it’s based off of a Michael Douglas movie called Falling Down, and it’s on Netflix, I recommend you watch it before listening to the song
IMO that is the best song on the album. Blaze is so speak singy and monotone and he becomes repetitious.
There are 2 B-sides that should have been on the album. Justice of the Peace and Judgement Day. Both were B-sides to Man on the Edge which was the first single from the album
if you want to hear bruce sing this song, there is a live version from the “Death on the Road” live recording
So we miss Bruce. That's a given. However, is it the guitar work that is truly letting the side down? Does this band miss Adrian more than anything else?
Absolutely yes!!!
Yes! .. but they’re missing allot of other things as well. Its a disaster! They should have taken some years off and reenergized.
They are workhorses though! I’ll give ‘em that!

I've just happened to imagine the refrain with Bruce and with an octave higher (and a little bit faster), and it was fantastic! So try it yourself! :D
Oh, as I see, they've already carried that out on the Death on road tour! Really worth checking it, it's exactly all about what I've told. :D
This song live is epic. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Actually Bruce prefers "The sign of the cross" to this one since he sings it live and this one doesn't.
P.S. I have seen both Bruce and Blaze live in Rome and I must say that Blaze is not at all poor as many (cazzaroni) say.
Ciao Hurm1t.

Yeah, this song was really pretty good.... I agree about the lyrics, and the bass grooves we're good for sure!
I LOVED The Lord of the Flies….it was mandatory reading in JH/HS 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰
You need to hear bruce sing these songs live = AMAZING , turns these song into absoilute bangers!
Damn,you beat me to it!
I think Herm should revisit Sign of the Cross with Bruce and Adrian back …I think he’ll change his mind on his initial impressions 🤘🏻
I’d mentioned the live versions of the Blaze stuff in one of Hurm’s streams. I think he’s all for visiting them after the studio albums are done!
First decent song from the Harris/Gers writing team. This one is so much better live with Dickinson on the Death on the Road DVD. So much better.
Very diffrent stylistically. If this was a diffrent band and not iron maiden people would hail blaze and these albums. People dont like change
People don't like change when the change isn't good, it's not that complicated. If what you're saying was true, Blaze's solo stuff would be held in a much higher regard but it isn't, even if it's better than The X Factor.

Great video to this song....
I can always do it later! Many people asked me to do lyric videos on this album.
The original video for this is well worth a watch
@@hurm1t974 really appreciate ALL you do man....so AWESOME...
Hi, Please react to the song "Afraid to shoot strangers Official Video" Blaze Bayley version of iron Maiden, it's awesome
I really think you should watch the official posts of these songs. Something about these lyric versions seems really off, the quality is super dulled down and muffled sounding
Well whoever did the lyrics is clearly deaf as the 5 line of the chorus should be "Something willing us" which is what Blaze sings.
Death On The Road Tour 2003 CD Bruce does a cracking vision of this song on off the highlights of that concert I love this song and Blaze is cracking on this as well live but unfortunately they is no live CD concert with blaze singing on this tour but they is a some bootlegs of the concerts with are very good
This is a great song by Blaze. Besides Bruce, I don't think anyone could have done it better.
Maiden's finest album. No joke
Other than virtual XI, I think it's their worst. Ploddy, poorly produced and monotonous vocals.
Finest compared to what? Somewhere In Time? Seventh Son? Brave New World? Powerslave? Piece of Mind? 😂
This has always been my favourite song from the album.
No critique, but I noticed you're very picky when it comes to guitar solos. I usually take them as they are.
There is a mistake in the lyric video btw. It should read "Something WILLING us to be lord of the flies".
Hurm is right. The guitar solo is lacking.
Yes.Its that shit
You check out Fortunes Of War off this same lp. I personally like the jam. It has more hooks and change ups. Nothing spectacular in the vocals. Steve Harris kills the bass. Good beat in the song.
Good strong song.
God -- does this era of iron maiden pale in comparison to every other. This flat out sucks. I've heard local garage bands put out better music than this.
Please just get through the songs on these two albums ASAP Hurm and in a few weeks you’ll be on Brave New World. Adrian’s solos from there onwards are mind blowing and are in my opinion even better than his work in the 80s.
No doubt! Listen and react to all the Blaze material in two hours and enjoy the rest of the week!! Lol!!
That's my problem with Iron Maiden, they are absolutely amazing, but the guitar solos are too short compared to other bands. Anyways, they're the best.

One of best Blaze Bayley songs w/ Maiden.
This song is ok but like most of their songs in this era, too flat, single-paced, repetitive and dull (as others have put it) for my liking. To be clear, it has nothing to do with comparing to other eras.
This is one of the good songs (Man on a Edge too) but it’s still not great. It’s only good. Janick Gers really changed the sound of the guitars - sorry, I still think he’s unnecessary.

Everything about this song is so forgettable. The vocals, the riffs, the solo. For me, even the filler stuff from No Prayer is better.
You serious?
It sounds like a random band practicing. I can’t listen to X-Factor and Virtual 11…..So dissapointing
