My neighbors liked this so much they invited the police to listen
did they also bring the beer keg?
Gold.. Well done sir.
Did the police sacrifice the neighbors to Satan? If not then they weren't really listening to the music.
Hey chip davis that was classic bro.
Good job xD
The Bible really is just a gold mine for heavy metal song writers.
Heavy metal is classical and blues combined with Post-19th century machines.
Right, "Hallowed be thy Name!" Sounds a little like a white-metal Song.

So good that a black metal band read it to have better blasphemy, but they converted 😂😂
@@ThomasBoyce5000 What black metal band?
I can't believe it's not even the best song on the album . Iron Maiden is damn fantastic .
It IS the best song on the album!
@@roinerov9348I mean it's all a matter of opinions but I'm fairly certain most people consider Hallowed Be Thy Name the greatest Iron Maiden song.
It IS the best song ever from Iron Maiden
@@yahalaca5355 Yes. Even if this song is also really good. But that h.b.t.n. is my favourite one (listening or playing...)
it is one of the best songs of all times.
One of the best examples of what an incredible bassist can add to a song
Hard to believe this was 40 years ago...Jesus Christ I'm old.
Yes, we are.
Yeah, but you Rock.
OMG. Me too. Listening to this and Van Halen and the Cult. Wish it was still the 80s. BEST MUSIC EVER!! Esther Schwartz
Yes it is! I started listening to Iron Maiden at age 16 and I am now 56 years old. I saw them where I live in Florida in 2018 and they still rock hard!
you mean jesus FUCKIN christ?
One of the best metal songs ever.
Which ones are better???
+cicaglisa42 the trooper 😉
Chop suey
evil that men do
lol no fucking way (for me Hallowed Be Thy Name)
they don't make songs like this anymore. Iron maiden songs are genius. I discovered them when I was 14, I'm 55 now and this song still send shivers down my spine.
Everytime brother. And I'll be 54 on HALLOWEEN 🎃🎃🤘🏼
that's so cool
I'm 72 and love Maiden seen them at Download a few times
Im the same age and I still listen to this even to this day!!
Exactly that buddy
Miss those days, good tunes good people and freedom. All gone
Go camping with friends and play what ever the f'ck you want! Almost like old times ;-)
most epic scream of all time

That Album was my first contact to heavy metal in 1982.
From the first to the last song, a Classic......
I loved my painters cap from the time. Wore it till it fell apart
1:17 That SCREAM is absolutely iconic, and never fails to give me chills.
So true
It took Bruce several takes just to get it right. Martin Birch made sure of it. 🤘
It’s 1.19 😂
It was a direct tribute to Roger Daltrey’s scream in Won’t Get Fooled Again
It's an A5 too. A minor third below Soprano C. Impressive note for a tenor!
Dickinson one of the best vocalists to ever exist. Period.
So is Rob Halford, Ozzy, .. .
Yes the best in the world.
Well, there's him and there's Dio... and there's Halford... and... yeah, that's it.
yep, him and Rob Halford
Dickinson-Dio-Halford excluding all rock vocalists are the best metal vocalists out there.
The intro gives me goosebumps EVERY TIME. This song is just something else, a one of a kind for sure, and definitely in my top 5 Maiden songs.
Saw them in Calgary September 28, 2023. Master musicians….Murray’s solos were mind blowing and he’s 67 years young. Dickinson can still kill on vocals. Best concert ever and I’ve been to hundreds!,
Being from the era he is from he had to learn his craft. I'm not too surprised about his ability to sing still being top notch. Now you just have to look good and computers do the rest, no soul in music anymore.
Bruce: 666 the number of the beast!
Beast: Goddammit Bruce! Stop giving everyone my number!
Haha, that's clever.
Not funny you loser
hahahahaha!!!!
@@MariaAlvarado-mx2en spotted the asshole
@Squirmin Herman the one eyed German LOL
Only Iron Maiden could write a song about Satan in a major key.
That is their genre
I don't think they realized back then. Giant anyway.
@Conrad Nickelson E
They are iconic. 👌 I mean, how metal do you have to be, right? 🔥😝I want my band to cover this because it would be so fun to sing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤
@@fabinhoarquiteto no it's in D, which is out of the ordinary for Maiden, their songs are in E minor normally.
This song cuts differently when you defeat your own demons.
Great
Fun fact: the scream bruce dickinson lets out in the intro of the song is a result of the producer constantly having them do different takes, and in this one bruce was so fed up he let out a howl with so much frustration pushing it he has never been able to properly recreate it.
Yeah, Martin Birch got him to keep singing the first two lines for about four hours (even though he actually stopped recording after about the 3rd take lol) to get Bruce pissed off. He was so frustrated he was throwing chairs around the room and stuff. Eventually it was time for the scream and there was no need for a second take there!
@@User-jk8wq definitely well worth pissing him off lol
When you're so pissed off that you made a masterpiece
Yeah, I heard that. Apparently, when the producer said *That's it!" Bruce said 'WHY!?!" LOL!

Maiden FINALLY nominated in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I know it's an irrelevant ceremony, but it's worth celebrating anyway I think.
UP THE IRONS
Seriously? They should have been there decades ago just because of their 80s albums.
They have to get voted in last year Motörhead and Priest was not voted in
that recognition is in all the wrong ways. at least they finally see what we all have seen.
Some hip hop artist will get it lol
One of the 10 most iconic songs of all time.
I wish more people would appreciate this music
Iron Maiden never let me down.
iron maiden is incredibly popular you soy drinker
@@SoyDrinker Yes it is, but in my country the most people of my age don't know about them :c
Verdade, melhor banda de heavy metal
@KeshiD3su Yep
Same here
This song makes me want to break in someone's house and toast all their bread and put it back in the bag.
Damn right!!
That is hilarious
You monster!!!
I always find these comments on maiden songs
Pure evil!
I was 16 years when I bought this amazing album 😍 Metal in general and Rock are my life...
It's amazing, I heard it for the very first time in Argentina in 1983, on a metal program radio
i was -14 when this came out
Dave Murray is SO FLUID on LEAD!
R.I.P Clive Burr...you beat those drums like they owed you money.
everyone: yes.
Wait... what about all of those drummers are awesome drummer that did wonderful actions for the metal / rock scene, and you guys stop arguing about which one is the best? (it's neither clive burr, vinnie paul or dave grohl, it's lars ulrich from metallica)
LOL'D
LOL'D
LOL'D
This song is as powerful and earth-shattering as it was in 1982.
I agree!
+J. Cav Amen........a much more energetic take on the Black Sabbath/Ozzy theme of the Devil and his playthings.
+J. Cav never get anything like it these days
+J. Cav Fuckin' right. It blew my tiny mind in 1982 and those opening guitar notes still send shivers down my spine.
+J. Cav Absolutely an awesome jam back then and today, always.
I’m here because this is my 50 year old nephew’s favorite band since he was a kid. I became a metalhead three years ago I am now 71 and this is my first listening to any iron maiden song. I’m going to learn the lyrics to this song before I die.
Welcome to the Iron Maiden fanbase. Up the Irons!
You have to. I’m almost there, I just get some parts a little weong
Never too old to rock n roll 🤟🏽
Dude, study those lyrics hard. No music. Then apply it to your afterlife. Nothing to look forward to. It's JESUS brah.
@@joserobertoquintas1276😊❤
With this high energy, up tempo music, and Bruce’s vocals, the lyrics could be a cake recipe and it would be the rockingest song EVER
6 Million years alive, and we happen to be born in an era that shares it with Iron Maiden. Just think for a minute how lucky we are.
However also being shared by terrible pop and rap artists.
but technically we're not lucky because iron maiden will now exist for the rest of humanity which will hopefully be much longer than 6 million years
I’d bet the Aztecs had some metal as fuck music.
I agree, but my neighbor disagree
wow thats fucking heavy man
Damn his voice is electric
We meet again

I've been an IRON MAIDEN fan since junior high in the early 80s.
Those were the days
its so nice to see that even today people still listen to this.
of course they do, not like iron maiden is an underrated band

Two of the coolest things ever in one video Godzilla and Iron Maiden
Hell has broken out
how did you know?
Godzilla is in a few frames.
2024 still having goosebumps!!
one of best performances of bruce
I never.understood the artistic brilliance of Iron Maiden until recently. As a baby Christian at the time this song was released, I was too freaked out by this song. But I've come to recognize Iron Maiden as master storytellers through their music.
That's all it is, and excellent musicians.
They're not just masters storytellers, they're master musicians, master songwriters and master showmen.
lol
Bill, shame on you. but glad you caught up. ;-)
So are you a Christian or not?
When I was a kid we visited my great aunt one day and she said to me ‘go and visit your cousin’. He was 16 and i was 9 or so. I went to his room and he and his buddies were like ‘wtf are you doing here?’ And I said ‘uh your mom said I could hang out’. ‘Oh ok that’s cool,’ was his response. And they were listening to this song - I’d never heard anything like it and was instantly hooked. It’s funny how music does that. I remember that like it was just yesterday and here we are about 40 year later. Anyway my aunt passed away a couple of years ago, my cousin and I are still in touch and i mention this memory to him occasionally and he laughs and says ‘good thing you didn’t catch us smoking weed’. Lol
That's usually how it happens. Just now an uncle. Cant wait for my nephews to get into high school so they start figuring things out haha.
Brent Stepherd MPLE NTALIKES ETHEL FYSARMONIKES, MPLE FYS EPI 10.
lmao cool
Brent Stepherd YEAH SWEET VICTORY.
What a twist lmao
Every body should listen to Maiden atheist Once !🤘🏼
The Number Of The Feast, a feast for the ears.
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think
To get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe?
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?
Just what I saw in my old dreams
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
'Cause in my dreams it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
Night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me?
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell?
Six six six, the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night, the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
Six six six, the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
Seem to mesmerize, can't avoid their eyes
Six six six, the number of the beast
Six six six, the one for you and me
I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course
Did you take those lyrics in? It's not just a song, it's what lies in store for you. Seek JESUS while you can. When you're done you're done. Cooked as in more than well done. Forever in this state of perpetual misery. Sounds freakin great, right?

2016 so far has been taking away alot of good musicians... I hope maiden stays unaffected... Up The Irons!
Possibly the BEST METAL album of the 80s! 🤟
Just one of the most badass songs (and bands) in history
This song is almost 40 years old and still kills... Put that in perspective.

just made an acoustic interpretation of the song same basic song just acoustic folk sounding

I think the main thing we can all take from this is people from pasts... are way more hardy and badass then this millenia. Medieval times + the black death. Vikings, Pirates, Knights, Samurais, Ninja. WW1 + the great influenza at the same time! Way, way more hardy than humans now.
Bruce joined Iron Maiden and came at full force in this album. His energy is unparalleled.
That scream gives me goosebumps everytime
but,,, but,,, you're stalin?
Same here bro
+ace vfx It gives Stalin and freiza the goosebumps.But not me I'm Johan Liebert.
Comrade Stalin we woe to you
Like the screams of your people, comrade.
Steve Harris deserves a separate star in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Statement.
I saw these guys open for Ozzy in 1986 or 87 at the summit in Houston. Outstanding show, both of them!
A real classic that never gets old,❤️
they where grandmasters in metal rock
When the Universe finally comes to an end there will be a final Monsters of Rock at Castle Donnington and AC/DC and Iron Maiden will share top billing.
There is no need to live after that.........
Saw them on this tour, 1982, Pittsburgh, they opened for Judas Priest who was touring for their Screaming For Vengeance album, and it was my first concert.
Hell of a way to start out, I'm pretty lucky that's how it worked out, and don't think I don't know that.
The guitar build up is fantastic, everything just flows as though it ought to be ,...
There is an all girl metal band called Kittie I know they cold rock this. They covered Pink Floyd's Run like hell and I jut said wow.
Everything about this song - themes, lyrics, sound, Bruce's bloodcurdling iconic scream - is the pure essence of heavy metal.
No other metal song can top this
All the 40 plus here including me and enjoying this song❤❤❤

Another amazing fact is, as if Bruce Dickenson's operatic metal singing style isn't enough. He's also the Captain
of Ed Force One, that is the band's 747 that takes the band overseas and other places. Look for the videos on this here on RUclips.
Poe meets metal meets the Beast!
Easily the best Christian rock band of all time
I wish I would have latched onto Iron Maiden when I was younger. I’m 45 years old and I can’t believe I missed out on this great music for all these years.
No worries, Mike. I've went for more than 15 years without being latched onto Iron Maiden due to personal trauma in my childhood. There is no age limit on having fun or being yourself. You're not missing out on anything, it just came up to you suddenly. You can still enjoy great music today.
Wasted year's😂😂

Awesome can't believe I'm this old now but I still head bang and rock it out
You remember back in the day that was cool
One of the best down picking guitar riffs ever. This song taught me how to play fast palm muting technique and helped me master "Master of Puppets' rhythm tracks. Steve Harris is the GOAT.
Dudee I wanna hear you play
oddly enough, the difficulty of the main intro riff is very misleading. It sounds easy, and the actual arrangement is easy. The timing, however, is fairly odd and when first learning the song if not concentrating its easy to mess up the timing.
I’m getting a guitar this weekend because I want to learn I got many years ahead of me I’m 35 now and I wish I was into this music sooner
Bruce is truly one of the greatest metal singers of all time... those screams and notes he reaches...
nice troll :D really thought for a second it was a real fly
nuller87 yep. Bruce and dio are my favs:D
nuller87 he the only one who can actually get u to picture what is happening when he sings
Yeah. And Bruce is the ONLY one, who can sing in a really powerful voice, have a really wide range and let out those bloodcurdling epic screams!!! Bruce is truly the greatest vocalist of all time!!! 🤘🤘
Try deep purple sweet child of mine for vocals Ian Gillan.then Adams manowar warriors of the world united
True story, I was 9 years old and was in Sam Goody when I saw this album cover. I was with my friend and his Mom. I HAD TO BUY IT. Came home and played the tape. After hearing this song, I screamed for my Mom to come Listen to the intro. As she listened, she pulls the tape out and smashes it on the ground and said this is devil's music!! After hours of crying, I knew Iron Maiden was my band for life!!! This was in 1985, and to this day they still blow my mind. Pantera is a close second!!

This classic album turned 40 years old today on March the 22nd 2022! And it's STILL as amazing today as it was 40 years ago!!! 🤘🤘
You got to be shitting me, I’m just 3 years older than this album, it’s been out as long as Iv been alive it seems impossible when you really think about it that they could create such unique still sounding modern heavy metal as it sounds as new today as it always has done to me it still sounds new & fresh it amazes me they created something that (it’s hard to explain) it sounds as if it had only been released at most 20 years ago if that, the style & sound is still used today in heavy metal, I remember in 90’s my best mate getting me into these I was into Oasis, Travis. Ocean Colour Scene. Paul Weller. Blur. The Verve. Charlatans. The Seahorses. James. Lightning Seeds. Cast. Suede. Space. Republica. Cardigans. Garbage. Catatonia. The Corrs. The Cranberries. Sheryl Crow. Alanis Morrisette. The Bluetones. The Eels. Radiohead. Manic Street Preachers. Pink Floyd. The Who. The Hollies. The Beatles. Then my mate turning me on to this, it opened my mind and told me anything was possible if you had enough passion but I struggled to find my voice back then trying to write songs to stuff he would cine up with in guitar as my voice couldn’t do metal and I’m ok with that, would I love to write metal, he’ll yes but my voice is more suited to punk/blur style/Lynyrd Skynyrd rock ballads so at least he gave me hunger to learn guitar through these bands as I wanted to write riffs like this but in my key and less metal for my voice and more rock ballad proving that you really do have to have, one hell of a voice in a natural high key, mine is more suited to key of C & G where as metal like this your voice naturally needs to be in A or D and I remember seeing an article where along with Manic Street Preachers Iron Maiden telling folk, young writers, if you need guitar lessons give up now, so I taught myself after work at ASDA I’d go back to my fiancés at time (Michelle) and just fiddle with two chords at tgst time I didn’t even know they were called chords but from fiddling in trying out new ideas just from two chords finger licking to strumming I bought iron maiden, Metallica (as I fucking adored Reloaded) tablature books and soon it just came natural to me like s duck to water I couldn’t believe it (the lad who gave his first electric red fender away Christmas box at about 10 years old away for a Sega Master System lol) to being able to play these songs then turned to Beatles as it was obvious my voice wouldn’t fit with Key of A power chords then quickly formed a band, started writing epic tunes, Punk/Suede style Rock ballads to having two lads that were just part timers, they only ever wanted to be part timers so when we got signed,whilst playing at local fair, they bloody freaked out and did not want to be in full time band as they were nurses in training and thats how they turned out (I say good for them, they got England through a Pandemic) but left us up shit creek withoot a bloody paddle, so I turned out to writing songs for other bands and found out I was brilliant, ace, epic at hearing just half of a sing by a band to be inspired to write even better songs for tgen I only needed to hear their style a little so I could go from country & western to Pink Floyd to Epic Rick ballads, the easiest style to write to for me was Mumford & Sons Style don’t know if that’s because my actual family name my ancestors came from Scotland and I only live about 25 miles from Border but point I’m getting at is, if you want to be an epic songwriter just because you can’t sing to a certain style or maybe you struggle to understand their style, listen to ss fkn many different styles as you can because then when your humming away to a sing your writing on guitar, lyrics will pop out the air from nowhere leaving you thinking I didn’t just write that, it’s impossible, I couldn’t have come up with those lyrics, well it is, listen to as many styles as you actually love, if you love it, listen to it I love everything from The Carpenters, 60’s, 70’s to Gloria Estefan to Metallica and Pearl Jam to Oasis to Travis to Iron Maiden they gave me hunger to learn guitar so I could write epic riffs, intro riffs, chorus riffs, bridge riffs etc. if you love it, blast it and fkn live it, as my motto I have tattooed on my arm says on a cross,
Imagine it
Dream it
Believe it
Live it
@@christianlennon714 Wow. That was a very long comment. But it's great that Iron Maiden made you start writing songs. They've inspired so many people all over the world for over 4 decades and I hope they continue to inspire people long after they're gone.
Oshe zy!!! Icónico!
On my birthday also well I was born on the 22nd March but I’m not 40

This is THE song that turned me from Southern Rock to Metal in 1983, in all of 5 minutes, literally. Seriously. THIS SONG. Since then I've seen Maiden live 15 times, from '83 to '19. Up The Irons!!
wow im old
Time is short ♠️
Ein Klassiker unter der Rockgeschichte.
It's a thing with some songs no matter how many times you hear them they never get old! Up the irons
Hell yeah, maiden will never get old 💪
What's today 6? 6? ...... Almost there! 👍🏻🤘🏻❤️🔥🥂
Haven´t heard this song since ages, but was instantly thinking why did you not! Feelin young and somehow home when it starts
Cute pup
@@nunyasmith43 It's a cain'd of magia.If you know,what I mean...
"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon
The number of the beast for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six. "
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think to
Get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can i believe
That what I saw that night was real
and not just fantasy
Just what I saw, in my old dreams
Were they reflections of my warped mind
staring back at me
'Cause in my dreams, it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings
me to despair
The night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry
Hands held to the sky
In the night, the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerize... can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me
I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it's course
And just in case someone does not know, the spoken word passage in the beginning is read by English actor Barry Clayton and it quotes Revelation 12:12 and Revelation 13:18.
@@chainmatrix A fun fact - the same actor did the narrative at the start of the titles on the cartoon series "Count Duckula"!
If u typed this all u r a legend
He sounds like the guy from MJ's Thriller.
@@askinni The spoken part of Thriller was done by Vincent Price, a famous horror film actor. I read somewhere that Iron Maiden wanted him to do Number of the Beast, but he wanted too much money. Never mind, I think Barry Clayton did a great job of it!
The best scream recorded!!!!
IRON MAIDEN ❤❤❤
LYRICS
[Spoken intro: Barry Clayton]
Woe to you, o'er Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is Six hundred and sixty six
[Verse 1: Bruce Dickinson]
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe that what I saw
That night was real and not just fantasy?
Just what I saw, in my old dreams, were they
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
Cause in my dream, it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
YEAH!
[Verse 2]
The night was black, was no use holding back
Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me?
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was this all for real or just some kind of hell?
[Chorus 1]
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
[Verse 3]
Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night, the fires burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
[Chorus 2]
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
[Guitar solo: Dave Murray]
[Guitar solo: Adrian Smith]
[Verse 4]
This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerize, can't avoid their eyes
[Chorus 3]
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me
[Verse 5]
I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course
This song was the band’s second single from their 1982 album. It was influenced by the 1978 horror movie Damien: Omen II, which is about the 13-year-old Antichrist. It is one of Iron Maiden’s most famous and one of heavy metal’s most recognizable songs.
Basically, this song is about a dream. It’s not about devil worship.
-Steve Harris
The song starts with a quote from the Bible, read by British actor Barry Clayton; the first lines from Revelations 12:12 and the last three from Revelations 13:8. The band wanted the horror film actor Vincent Price to read this intro, but he wanted more money than they were willing to pay.
During the recording of the album, there were rumors floating about that supernatural occurrences had been going on in the studio, such as lights flipping on and off, strange noises and visions of Satan. This was used as evidence that Satan and the Antichrist had a hand in making this. Many preachers and enemies of rock music were led to believe Maiden were Satanists, because of the song’s title. Steve Harris called them mad. They completely got the wrong end of the stick. They obviously hadn’t read the lyrics. They just wanted to believe all that rubbish about us being Satanists.
Bruce Dickinson’s high-pitched scream at the end of the intro was a result of producer Martin Birch forcing the band to replay the intro several times. Dickinson became so fed up with the constant repeats that he emitted the scream out of frustration, and it fit so well that the band decided to keep it.
"They completely got the wrong end of the stick. They obviously hadn’t read the lyrics. They just wanted to believe all that rubbish about us being Satanists. Basically, this song is about a dream. It’s not about devil worship."
Steve Harris, composer of the song, about people complaining about the supposed satanic meaning of the song.
Thank you men great job

Hey, is there anywhere I could copy the end info? Because that's really cool I didn't know the song was about a dream
One brilliant guy, a pilot so many things never judge anyone 🤘🏼
1:17 when you step on a Lego barefoot in the dark...😫
That's literally me
Howling
Fffuuuuuddddggggeeeeee
Lego....in.....the......daaaarrrkkk......
Or a 3 pin plug
This song is awesome!
Sin dudas esto es un himno del heavy metal
I grew up in this era, and when this album came out it scared the crap out of 95% of the people I knew. I was awe struck. And if I had to pick one song, that definitively etched Iron Maiden's place in rock history, The Number Of The Beast would have to be it. Bruce Dickinson's masterful vocals, the incredible guitar work, the drums, and the amazing stage show had a hypnotic effect on anyone that was fortunate enough to see them live, in concert. It has been 40 years now, and it's an experience I will never forget. There are no other bands like Iron Maiden, and there never will be.
I was born in 1982 and I wish I was a teenager when this came out. It was my older brother who introduced metal to me during my early childhood. I would have loved to see Maiden during their heyday.
@@erinn.3375 I was 17 years old in 1982, that was also the year I graduated from High School. No one from where I was from listened to Iron Maiden. I never really understood why they weren't even a consideration. I still have my two original concert jerseys from that incredible experience.
but uou dont like yhis tipe music
You forgot bass
If you could see what was coming, you'd be terrfied. I have. It's the truth. This song says nothing good about hell, and then minimizes it. Just read the lyrics alone. JESUS warned more of Hell than He spoke of Heaven. But why?
Number of the Beast's solo is one of the greatest metal solos in human history.
The solo of the trooper is also a masterpiece
Tornado of souls
Troopers is absolutely amazing too
This is brilliant, but Black Sabbath, Neon Knights
Currently learning it on guitar and god damn I love Maiden solos. Those trills are tricky though
the year 1982 ,i have this on vinyl, a lot of good times
8 years old but still a banger ❤😂🎉
JUST WAY TO MANY AWESOME SONGS TO ONLY COOSE A COUPLE!
Peggy Ferrera sorry.....choose!
Um... did anyone even see Godzilla?
Who s here after Senjutsu? 40 years of pure metal. No autotune, no unwanted double bass and no downtuned guitars!!!
And what is wrong with Downtuning the guitar?
Is drop D considered down tuning?
You all hv misunderstanding the point. I meant they were heavy w/o downtuning. I never said it's wrong
Dgus
what's wrong with double bass?
Intemporel à souhait, l'un des meilleurs morceaux du meilleur groupe de tout les temps
Best song ever
