There are two lead guitarist that trade-off on lead and Rhythm and sometimes they play the same time. Not necessarily in this song but in a lot of songs.
The "Wasted Years" in this song is essentially about touring. The band felt very homesick during their time on the road on a tour that was nearly a year long and it felt as if they wasted a whole year just touring and doing the same thing just in different countries.
The guitar solo in this one is Adrian Smith, who also wrote the song. That’s why he’s got the flow and feel of this one. “Wasted Years” is my number one Maiden song. If alien life showed up at my door, and asked me to define the perfect metal song...it’d be this one.
Guitarist is Adrian Smith. There’s another guitarist that was in the band at the time, Dave Murray. Jannick Gers joined when Adrian Smith left, and then Adrian came back, so if you see them now they have three of the best guitarists in rock.
Maiden puts on the best shows! I catch them live every chance i get because they don’t tour the US as much as we’d like. The shows are high energy and insane. Hope to see them tour US again soon.
I half joke with the guys at work that the 3 best shows I've ever seen in my entire life are 1. Iron Maiden 2. Iron Maiden 3. Iron Maiden and if I ever see them a 4th time 4. Iron Maiden. But when limiting to one band per slot for me it's King Diamond and Metallica, but without limits it's Iron Maiden all the way.
@@rogerbyington5640 all of their songs, well almost all of them are on historical events. Some albums are focused on specific things. Like Carolus Rex based on the 30 years War Heroes based on heroic events Last Stand Based on last stands and sacrifices Great War based on WW1
This is off their album Somewhere In Time. This was the first Iron Maiden album I ever heard. This literally changed my life. All I had heard was what my parents listened to, what was on the radio and MTV. Iron Maiden wasn't on any of those lists except for Saturday Night's at Midnight on a show on MTV called Headbanger's Ball but I wasn't old enough at the time to stay up to watch it. I heard this at a friend's house because his dad was a Maiden fan. When I heard this it's like something clicked in my head that said "This is MY kind of music!" And let me know there was so much great music out there better than what was played on top 40 radio. I've searched and still search for great bands that the mainstream ignores.
This song says don't chase memories, live live to the fullest since you never know when it's over. I lost my brother a month ago. This song reminds me of this message.
Fear of the Dark, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, anything from the Seventh Son album, Paschendale, Number of the Beast. Last time I saw them live was about 6 years ago, and they are still the greatest live band I’ve ever seen.
Wasted Years..the present time is what a lot of us will be looking back on as "the golden years." I look back at 2001-02 and as much as I struggled back then, I look back fondly at that era. You never miss it till it's gone away. Don't waste to your time, man. If there's something you want to do, do it now! BTW...I had to sell my last guitar...2020 Gibson Les Paul 50s Standard...because it was way too heavy. In my 20's and 30s, I'd get disappointed when I'd pick up a guitar and it was light. Now in my mid 40s, I welcome the lighter ones. As long as the neck doesn't fall to the floor when I let go, it's all good.
Hey Jojo great video as always man. Guitarist Adrian Smith wrote the song. He thought it was too commercial but the band loved it so they went with it. It's about the passage of time and you can interpret it different ways. But to me some of the lyrics are obviously about the band being on tour and missing their home life.
I was 12 when Iron Maiden entered my Life It was the video for Run to The Hills The Number of the Beast album had just come out (yeah I'm old) I was hooked that day and have been ever since Its so pleasing too see Young Folk, no matter what race, embrace this incredibly talented band Now if only the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame could get its head out of its ass
LFR Jojo…as a person who grew up with mostly rock and heavy metal, I can appreciate the talent of many other artists, be it rap, pop, blues, jazz etc. It’s awesome to see you listen to, react to, and recognize the talent of Iron Maiden! Hands down one of the best rock/metal bands to grace this earth!
Jo jo the name of the lead guitarist in this video is Adrian Smith, he also wrote the song. Dave Murray is the other guitarist and Steve Harris is the bassist. Currently Adrian is in a side band called Smith/Kotzar you should check them out really good No Cap!!! 👍🏻
The closest thing they have to a love song, (at least to my knowledge) is Wasting Love. even then it's not really one. Defiantly one you should react to. Another one you should react to is When The Wild Wind blows. I shall not stop suggesting it until it happens!! lol. I won't spam though. I got some sense of decency lol
Adrian, the guitarist who wrote it, took time away from road life and touring, shortly after this came out. It’s always been my favourite Iron Maiden tune and I learned to play this whole song during the COVID lockdown. Your analysis was right on!
Iron Maiden is impressive on many levels. I do believe they have the world record in doing 45 shows in 65 days. Lead singer Bruce Dickerson is a pilot and they flew a 747 to all the different countries. They tell stories in their albums and in their songs
Metal. It's either in your blood or not. There is no in-between. And it's for life. NOTHING ELSE comes close to the power, magesty, and intensity, .... NOTHING. I'm older than you and I've tried giving other genres of music a chance. I ALWAYS come back to METAL. It's eternal/timeless in nature. You need to learn more than you'll appreciate this type of music. There's a reason it's relevant today and still going strong.
This is Adrian's song both lyrically and the music written. He had a few on the Somewhere In Time release that was pretty much all him. I guess Steve was in a very generous state of mind in 1986. Adrian Smith, is the guitarist you're asking about. He and Dave Murray share lead time and both are outstanding guitarist. Dave has a more punk sound to his playing as that was sorta the style they were playing in the first several years along with their first two releases "Iron Maiden" and "Killers". You should listen to "The Duelists" next. It's off of their 1985 release "Powerslave"
This is one of my favorite songs of alll time. So glad to finally see someone react to it. If you want a slow Maiden song do Children of the Damned. I also vote you do FEAR OF THE DARK especially the live one from Rick in Rio from 2009 I think it is that’s just mind blowingly amazing thanks to the crowd.
Dave and Adrian are absolutely amazing guitarists. New sub here if you haven't reacted to "Fear of the dark" already Iwould like to suggest listening when you have time. These are my two favorite Maiden songs. I was blessed to see them live in Massachusetts in 2012 I keep all my concert tickets and frame them. They are the best band I've seen live
Jojo, you MUST watch at least one video of them performing LIVE. I would suggest "fear of the dark" from the movie "flight 666". You won't believe the energy they bring LIVE.
Hey Jojo The members of Iron Maiden are as follows: Bruce Dickinson - lead vocals Adrian Smith - guitar Dave Murray - guitar Steve Harris - bass Nicko Mcbrain - drums Adrian Smith was the guitarist who played the guitar Solo in this song
most musicians are like athletes they get going and adrenaline kicks in and you don't even notice you are tired or sore. flea from red hot chili peppers said he once split his thumb open playing a show and kept on playing with blood running down his guitar and Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest had a complete aortic dissection (blood vessel in his heart ruptured pour straight into his chest, this is usually fatal) in the middle of painkiller and finished out the song and then went to the hospital for 10 hours of open heart surgery. the adrenaline can keep you going through alot.
How tough it sounds this song always brings tears to my eyes, it reflexes a lot of my life, and I know maiden before Adrian was a part of maiden.... Cheers Adrian 😊another pint on the stage for you like I used to set em up for youb😊memories
They do get tired, but think about it like this: The Rock works out every day so to him working out is easy now. These musicians play their instruments all the damn time, it took great work and endurance to get where they are, but it is so much easier for them to play a whole concert than it is for us to even attend one! :)
Maiden started with two lead and rhythm players Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. Smith left and was replaced by Janick Gers. He returned for the Brave New World album and Maiden launched the 3 Guitar lineup. Smith is mainly a rhythm player, Murray and Gers are mainly leads but they trade roles constantly. Iron Maiden are all athletes. Bruce Dickinson was an Olympic level fencer; the rest are soccer players and Dave Murray did play soccer professionally for a short time in the late 70's.
(US Office)Andy Bernard "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them...someone should write a song about that" Iron Maiden did, in the 80s 🤟
I’m a year late to this, but you were raving about “that boy”, Adrian Smith their guitarist (who also wrote this song) after the solo, he recently formed a side project with Richie Kotzen called Smith/Kotzen and I’d really recommend checking it out, it really shows how talented Adrian truly is.
my grim takeaway has always been that while you yearn for the past, you are living the days you will yearn for tomorrow. or, today may be darker than yesterday, but not nearly as dark as tomorrow.
Great music choice and you are really appreciating the craft of talented musicians . These guys are one of the best if not the best. Many of us keep requesting 'Cult of personality' by living colour. Please do check it out with us Jojo
"Don't they get tired?" Probably, but not from one song. They play 2 hour long shows, and while they do have some slower songs, they still keep the energy up for the whole set. Even today, when they're all well into their 60s.
I played guitar in a metal band and I can confirm your arms and hands get mad tired from playing intense riffs and solos like this. I recall many times being out of stamina like halfway through a song during a live show and using all of my willpower to keep playing to the end of the song. Afterwards my right arm would be cramping from all the fast picking and the muscles were pumped up like I just did too many reps at the gym. Respect to these guys for putting on such a show
There are two lead guitarist that trade-off on lead and Rhythm and sometimes they play the same time.
Not necessarily in this song but in a lot of songs.
TWO?
@@LFRJojo They now have 3 guitarists since 2000.
Yes ... necessarily on this song. It begins and ends with harmony guitar licks.
You have great taste in music friend.
...and the Bass player Steve Harris puts them all to shame... and amazingly he does not use a pick, that is ALL finger...
Yeah its usually Adrian Smith and Dave Murray that trade off during the solos
Fun little facts: the singer is a pilot, professional fencer, could be professional soccer player, and sober. He also beat cancer, what a man
This is probably the most positive
message Maiden song ever. Live in the moment, folk.
No kizzy
@@LFRJojo don't ever use garbage and Iron Maiden in the same sentence these guys have a very and I mean very loyal fan base Up the Irons 🤘
Try listening to different world, that one is positive too
It was indeed their most uplifting song... until The Apparition... ;-)
Well, it comes very close, anyway...
LFR JoJo...Iron Maiden are best watched live. Their live concerts are great and they do have exceptional energy.
The "Wasted Years" in this song is essentially about touring. The band felt very homesick during their time on the road on a tour that was nearly a year long and it felt as if they wasted a whole year just touring and doing the same thing just in different countries.

@@Unclesmokey314 it’s just perfectly constructed. Flawless.
I agree
It's my top Maiden song!!! This one and Flight Of Icarus!!
Best song on the best album. Love the Adrian Smith songs.
The guitar players name is Adrian Smith he’s the one who played the guitar solo the other guitar player is Dave Murray.
Also Adrian wrote this song. Its about all the time spent touring and how he would sometimes miss home.
"Somewhere in Time" was an awesome album.
it still is and will always be, with ssoass, tnotb, and all the others
Guitars with reverb, delay and chorus create amazing atmosphere
Iron Maiden was in its prime from 1980-1992.
Damn straight
The Lead Singer actually pilots their commercial Airplane when they tour , Love Iron Maiden !!!

Iron Maiden doesn't have many "slow songs".
It is but still my favorite iron maiden song
I've always loved all the Eddie monsters there's so many more. I have multiple Eddie posters from iron maiden
Dave Murray and Adrian Smith both play lead guitar, alternating a lead break in most songs. Up the Irons!
