A lot of people have been asking for this song for awhile - good choice. The song is about homesickness and the grind of touring...I guess not very happy subject matter but the song has always felt inspiring and happy to me...the music in this song is awesome. The main verse "Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years. Face up... make your stand. And realize you're living in the golden years" always felt like a great message to live in the moment. “Carpe diem”
A lot of people have been asking about this song and Alexander the great ....maybe it will go around.... the reactors are doing kind of the same songs more or less... these are 2 staple songs in the Iron Maiden catalog.
Perhaps it's just me, but I always find 2 songs dovetail to this one very well, Infinite Dreams and Heaven can wait. Wasted years deals with living in the past, Infinite dreams deals with hope and dreams and Heaven can wait deals with inevitability.
@@paulwalsh2344 Yep, that was his original name. "A wife had a baby, but it was born with only a head and no body. 'Don't worry,' says the doctor. 'Bring him back in five years time, and we'll probably have a body for him'. So five years go by, and there's Eddie the 'Ead, as his parents have called him, sitting on the mantelpiece, when in walks his dad. 'Son,' he says, 'today's a very special day. It's your fifth birthday, and we've got a very special surprise for you.' 'Oh no,' says Eddie. 'Not another fucking hat!'"
Probably my second favorite Iron Maiden song ( and the first one I've ever heard). You should do some Paul di'anno era maiden."killers" or "wrathchild " are,arguably some of the best work with him .
ok, Ive been asking for Phantom of the Opera for about four months now (and i'm not giving up on it) but i'm going to change it up a bit. Nov 11 marks the 100 anniversary of the end of WW1. I think it would be cool for you guys to react to Iron Maiden's Paschendale (the live video from Death on the Road) for that date.
Alexander the Greaaaat! You have to do it 🤘🏻 and Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys 🎃 the "Guy" is the best band mascot ever, Eddie! Hes been on every Maiden album cover in one way or another and is a bandmember just as Bruce or any of the other in the band 🤘🏻
I wasted many years in elementary school drawing Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie. Was on just about every one of my trapper keepers. Oceans of Slumber - Sunlight
This album (Somewhere in Time) deserves a live listen. Almost every song is as catchy and epic as this. There's even a song about running called The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.
Oh God of Earth and alter, bow down and hear our cry. Our earthly rulers faulter, our people drift and die. The walls of gold entomb us the sword of scorn divide. Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride. AMAZING TRACK from an amazing record. Great choice my friend. Up the irons.
@@michaelvondrake7489 for sure! my intro to Iron Maiden was hearing Genghis Khan, pretty much stopped me in my tracks! I love both versions of Maiden, but those first two albums had an aggression that i could not find in subsequent albums.
@@hotpockets3660 Paul had some addiction issues Steve Harris was not willing to let take a toll on the band. Bruce was completely bought into the concept of Iron Maiden. Love D'Anno but (imo) Bruce just fits...
Yes indeed! It's such a great insight into Iron Maiden. The only thing better would be to see them live. I was so lucky to have seen them twice in the '80s. It was so long ago but truly amazing experiences.
Yesterday is gone, take what you need from it and move along. Tomorrow will never get here. Today is all we got, live in it and enjoy the hell out of it.
actually there is no gallop in wasted years , it's one of the few songs where steve is playing "strait 8ths" - eighth note pumping , meaning one note to a beat , it more of a chug than a gallop.
YES! Another classic from the Irons. 👍💪. This imo is their best. Epic song. ALLEGAEON: Proponent for sentience III the Extermination or Grey matter mechanics please.
Nice choice guys !! Now you gotta do Iron Maiden's Alexander the Great and you can see how brilliant they are at writing about History ruclips.net/video/1oTEQf1d9Iw/видео.html This is from the same record Somewhere in Time and also displays their prowess as musicians.
Ok, since you seem to love running, the Iron Maiden song for you is "The Lonniless of the Long Distance Runner"...epic musicianship and a subject that will resonate on you
Heck yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa!!!! One of the most beloved Iron Maiden songs. You have to check a live video performance even if you don't do a reaction video. Every time I see Iron Maiden in concert I.end up spending over $100 in merchandise because I always feel I didn't pay enough for the show they put on.
What in your black metal playlist? I'am all over the place,like black to portishead or Sade! And old obituary,possessed,and of course Venom.Well have good one!
Jussi Viitasaari I like Venom, Bathory, warskull, Xasthur, Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, Dark Funeral, Watain, Carach Angren, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, and so much more Lol...I listen to death metal as well but black metal has to be my fav.
Guys you need to check out Funeral Mist!! Mortuus - the singer is playing all instruments and writing all the lyrics. Blessed Curse, Naught but Dead, Cockatrice are a couple of the songs you should REALLY react to.
The appreciation of what youve already got can be the adventure and if you live every moment in consideration of whats coming next, you can forget to appreciate what is happening in this moment. When youre searching you need to allow yourself to find every once in awhile.
Thanks for your videos Vin and Sori. It's a good company and exercise to listen both of you. Have a wonderful day guys, God bless you...and... ...Hail to The Village!!
This was the tour I got to meet Dave Murray after the show down on 6th Street .. Austin, TX .. At the Steamboat (no longer there) .. Good times .. Dave is a huge blues fan .. Couldn't believe at first that he was there .. Steamboat was one of my regular hangouts back in the day ..
You guys should check out "Infinite Dreams" by Maiden as well. One of their most epic songs, and the story within the lyrics is truly captivating! Another song to check out could be "The Piper Never Dies" by Edguy
Anthony Berumez I had 2 third row tix to Nashville and came down with the flu the day before. I was double sick for missing them. Iron Maiden and Megadeth are my two favs.
That ‘guy’ is Eddie the bands mascot created by Derek Riggs and has predominantly on the bands album covers and shows,check out Strange World from their first album,slower even metal ballad sound to it but still a great track👍🏻
Once again, Thank you Vin/Sori for this reaction. Apparently this song is a reflection about its previous tour (World Slavery Tour) that burnt out the band to the point that a split of the band was feared on those days..... Adrian Smith (guitar) was a great relief for Steve Harris (bass and main songwriter) that save the day after and exhausting tour....and they ended realizing that they were living the "Golden years". From Iron Maiden you have reacted the following tracks (chronologically song list): *Children of the Dammed (Harris) Studio version from Album: The Number of the Beast 1982. Reacted live version taken from: The Beast on the Road 1982 *The Number of the Beast (Harris) Studio Version from Album: The Number of the Beast 1982 *Hallowed be Thy Name (Harris) Studio version from Album: The Number of the Beast 1982. *Powerslave (Dickinson) Original version from Album Powerslave 1984. Reacted Live version from video album: Flight 666 - 2008 *Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Harris). Studio version from album: Powerslave 1984. *Wasted Years (Smith). Studio version from Album: Somewhere in Time 1986. *Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (Harris) Original version from album: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 1988. Reacted Live version from Album Maiden England 1988 - released 1989. *Sign of the Cross (Harris). Original version from album The X Factor with Blaze Bayley on vocals. Reacted live version taken from Rock in Rio 2001 - released 2002. *The Clansman (Harris). Original version from album Virtual XI. Live version taken from album Rock in Rio 2001 - released 2002. So far, you have reacted to 9 Iron Maiden songs. Most of them from Mr. Steve Harris founding member of Iron Maiden and bass player. From point of view, this is how a song has to be reacted, listening first the Studio version in order to get the main idea, concept, vibe, clean sound, true feeling, voice power and other more important aspects from the song and then its LIVE version... although listening live versions is an amazing experience and is way better (when you know the song already) 'cause the adrenaline within us raises up to the maximum. Of course, there are lot of people who has different views of reactions in regards of studio/live versions and it's because of the sound, vocalist differences, vocalist interaction with the fans and lot of other things.... please consider to react to Iron Maiden at least once or twice a week..... also try to do your own research of the song before reacting.... and avoid "guessing reactions" in order to really feel that vibe when listening, cause the people who really knows Iron Maiden must understand their feelings, topics and philosophy..... sadly lot of people do not understand them at first. Powerful Band. Powerful and deep lyrics. Thank you Vin & Sori... PD,classic tracks from the Album Somewhere in Time are: All of them....... 😊🙂🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘. Please consider Alexander the great, Heaven can Wait, Caught Somewhere in time etc.... once again all of them are great.... Classic Iron Maiden Album.
Such a greatly inspiring song with a message of wisdom. In addition to the homesickness from being on the road, there's the flip side of getting back from touring, settling in and enjoying it, maybe starting on a new album. Then you start to get restless for those grand experiences of touring, going back and seeing people you met during previous tours, etc etc. It's a source of ambition, but it can also detach you from the present. So, it boils down to striking a balance, really appreciating the experiences of the present, and trying not to dwell too much on time that might feel lost at home or abroad, in the past or the future, lest you find yourself with memories that feel like they belong to someone else.
Vin, your backstory of your childhood and memories of it, made this video. I come for the reactions, I stay for your insight and storytelling. Well done to you both. Much love.
It would be awesome if you guys watched some of Maiden's documentary films to get a better grasp of the way they are and their history. 12 Wasted Years, The Early Days: History of Iron Maiden Part 1 and History of Iron Maiden Part 2 are good ones.
This song came out in 1986 when I was 19 and now I'm 53. I remember my older brother and I out in the yard listening to this and he put his hand on my arm and said...."bro, this song is so true, cherish your youth". He passed away 11 months ago and every time I hear this song I think of him and that day. Life and youth is fleeting and we all must cherish each moment we have.
!!!!!PASCHENDALLE !!!!!...IRON MAIDEN.. ( NOV 11 REMEMBERANCE DAY...FOR ALL THE FALLEN & FOR ALL THAT SERVED RESPECT!!... FROM EAST VAN ...CANADA.... UP THE IRONS!!!!!
Vin didn't like "The Trooper", I think because of its repetitiveness. I wonder, now that he's come around to Maiden, if "The Trooper" would have grown on him ?
The song was written by guitarist Adrian Smith and is about spending life on the road during a tour
In the Biography, after the Powerslave tour, he went to visit his parents and ended up knocking on their neighbours door.... 😝

The greatest song ever about homesickness and the grind of touring has to be 'Moonlight Mile'
@@nicholasthornley9708 I'm going with Wiser Time by the Black Crowes
i realize Im kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?
After I saw the official video for this, I ran out and bought every Eddie poster I could find. My mom said my bedroom was like walking into Hell.
I can relate to that. The sheer amount of Iron Maiden buttons probably outweighed the jacket I had them pinned on. :D
You need to clean it up.
"That guy" has a name! It is "Eddie".
edward
look, me and Eddie go way back, ok?
Eddie the 'ead
Yes, yes it is.
@@paulwalsh2344 Yep, that was his original name. "A wife had a baby, but it was born with only a head and no body. 'Don't worry,' says the doctor.

So five years go by, and there's Eddie the 'Ead, as his parents have called him, sitting on the mantelpiece, when in walks his dad. 'Son,' he says, 'today's a very special day.

caught somewhere in time please.....cheers from germany
Studio version!
Iron Maiden - Paschendale!!
That guy is eddie ! Iron maidens mascot hes on every album cover and comes out during thier live shows !
Probably my second favorite Iron Maiden song ( and the first one I've ever heard). You should do some Paul di'anno era maiden."killers" or "wrathchild " are,arguably some of the best work with him .
Iron Maiden - For the Greater Good of God
The Longest Day and These Colours Don't Run from the same album would also be great choices.
You should react to Passchendaele for November 11th
Bruce Dickinson - Tears of The Dragon Live (Sao Paulo 1999)
Great Song The Solo Is Out Of This World
Please do paschendale for the 11th Nov...100th anniversary of the war, someone requested this in your last iron maiden reaction too
Obi-Wan Kenobi 100th Remembrance Day.
Seems befitting
Live version from Death on the Road.
@@davidward2651 no...studio
@@obi-wankenobi3910 - I really miss the spoken word intro from the live versions when I hear the studio version these days.
I can understand Vin, this song it's so uplifting, thanks for this
Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow (Live 1980 w/Di'Anno)
Time to do a song off of Maiden's first two albums.
Since Vin did the running thing ... Iron Maiden - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner ahah
One of my favorite Maiden songs! Up the Irons!
Iron Maiden - Alexander the Great
Very underrated song. Never played live unfortunately. One of their best and most complex "epic closer".
@@kutnersuicide I've been asking different reactors for that song for a while but nobody did it yet ... it's my favorite Maiden song.
@@kutnersuicide I thought it was played live on the Somewhere Back in Time tour.
@@robr9411
I saw that show. No Alexander.
My son, ask for thyself another kingdom. For that which I leave is too small for thee.
Iron Maiden!!! Favorite band forever!!
Infinite Dreams, also from Iron Maiden is somehow different from everything you heard from them...
ok, Ive been asking for Phantom of the Opera for about four months now (and i'm not giving up on it) but i'm going to change it up a bit. Nov 11 marks the 100 anniversary of the end of WW1.

Thank you for the Maiden song of the week. Please check INFINITE DREAMS by Maiden

Good choice \m/

I totally agree, I’ve suggested Alexander several times.
Totally agree with Keeper of the Seven Keys.
Not one of their best, but a great song.
and now stranger in a strange land
No bad songs on Somewhere in time.
This.

thats wicked
I wasted many years in elementary school drawing Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie. Was on just about every one of my trapper keepers.
Oceans of Slumber - Sunlight
This album (Somewhere in Time) deserves a live listen. Almost every song is as catchy and epic as this. There's even a song about running called The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.
You guys should do Alexander the Great or The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner by Iron Maiden.
My favourite two from this fantastic album
Bruce Dickinson - Jerusalem ( Maidens singer )
Iron maiden - revelations !
Oh God of Earth and alter, bow down and hear our cry. Our earthly rulers faulter, our people drift and die. The walls of gold entomb us the sword of scorn divide. Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride. AMAZING TRACK from an amazing record. Great choice my friend. Up the irons.
This has far and away always been my favorite Maiden song.
Up the Irons! How about some Paul Di'Anno Maiden!? Most any will do, Wrathchild, Killers, Remember Tomorrow, Phantom of the Opera, just to name a few.
Love some of those older songs...
@@michaelvondrake7489 for sure! my intro to Iron Maiden was hearing Genghis Khan, pretty much stopped me in my tracks! I love both versions of Maiden, but those first two albums had an aggression that i could not find in subsequent albums.
Paul was a great vocalist but between the two, I would have to go with Blaze Bailey. He has an amazing range but there isn't anybody like Bruce.
@@hotpockets3660 Paul had some addiction issues Steve Harris was not willing to let take a toll on the band. Bruce was completely bought into the concept of Iron Maiden. Love D'Anno but (imo) Bruce just fits...
I know Bruce is more versatile and has a wider vocal range, but I'm not too interested in him singing Paul's songs.
It is about friggin time for this song, this is my favorite
Mine as well.
UNCLE DAN'S DUMBASSERY I love this song!
Not my Favorite Maiden song, but in the top 5
I’ve been patient waiting for you to do Aces High from Maiden.😜
Another great review you guys!!!
We shall never surrender!
They just got off the road form a tour where they played like 250 days out of the year when they wrote this song.
You should check out Iron Maiden flight 666, a dvd showing the band touring worldwide
Yes indeed! It's such a great insight into Iron Maiden. The only thing better would be to see them live. I was so lucky to have seen them twice in the '80s. It was so long ago but truly amazing experiences.

Moonspell - Night Eternal
A song of hope and motivation. The infamous Maiden gallop. Lol.
actually there is no gallop in wasted years , it's one of the few songs where steve is playing "strait 8ths" - eighth note pumping , meaning one note to a beat , it more of a chug than a gallop.
For The Greater Good Of God - Iron Maiden
YES! Another classic from the Irons. 👍💪. This imo is their best. Epic song. ALLEGAEON: Proponent for sentience III the Extermination or Grey matter mechanics please.
