Its good they haven't erased the Blayze Bailey era from MIADEN like priest done to Ripper...it's a honor for Master Bruce to sing this ..it would be a real treat to see Master Bruce and Blayze side by side
Also, when Adrian came back, they kept Janick Gers and have 3 absolutely amazing guitarists. SOOOO much respect for that. I swear have seen vids where Blaze did a few shows with Bruce. I know they all left on good terms. And yeah, I dunno what happened with Ripper being forgotten.
Bruce has said in interviews that he enjoys singing songs from the Blaze era. He likes those songs and the band enjoys playing them, unlike Rob Halford and Judas Priest who refuse to play any songs from the Ripper era.
@@tjs19762000 it's not exactly Halford, who already stated that would love to sing songs from Tim Ripper's era... I think the problem is the other ones from the band
bruce singing the chorus an octave (?) higher at the end after singing it the normal way is just fucking insane xD bruce owns everyone. i like the x factor. i like how the songs are sung by blaze. but bruce is just unique.
@@BarelloSmith At the time, Harris Said Maiden fans knows their sound and If they downtune everything would've been even worse..but for Bruce was not a problem..Way to go, Arry..
I don't really understand the love for Bruce. His voice sounds strained and unpleasant. I've never heard an Opera trained singer who seems to be struggling so much...but that's obviously just his voice. Maiden would be better with many other singers.
I don't understand people... First, all Iron Maiden fans were crying and complaining because Blaze was not good enough for the band. That was one of the most powerful reasons to bring Bruce back. And now people complain about how Bruce performs the songs... What a madness. And Bruce doesn't "murder" this song, he just sings it in a different style, wich is good too.
but why, Bruce is more than enough and is better than Blaze in every aspect, he owns the song. I would rather have the best tracks of The X Factor re-recorded by Bruce and pretend Blaze never happenend.
There where some real gems in the Blaze era with maiden and this song was one of them. I loved all the maiden singers, Di'anno for his Punk, Bruce for Operatic, and Blaze for his Baritone. Ahh Fuck it, I just love all that is Maiden!!!
"The X Factor" is a fantastic, daring underrated album that deserves a second listen. Daring and different, it pulled Iron Maiden out of a predictable rut they were getting known for.
I think both bailey's albums were good, but only got 4-5 tracks that were of Maiden standard. Similar ro No Prayer for a Dying, which in my eyes remain their worst album. Just behind VirtualXI ( yes i do prefer it to No prayer ) Xfactor got a lot of heat for bringing a different sound, but i think it is a far better album then Fear of the dark.

One of my favorite songs ever. The lyrics, janick´s guitar, the whole vibe of it... Bruce nailed it as well! Different approach, also loved it. Iron Maiden best band of the whole universe!!!
don't care for this world anymore, I just want to live my own fantasy Fate has brought us to these shores, what was meant to be is now happening I've found that I like this living in danger Living on the edge it feels, it makes me feel as one Who cares now what's right or wrong, it's reality Killing so we survive wherever we may roam Wherever we may hide, we've got to get away I don't want existence to end, we must prepare ourselves for the elements I just want to feel like we're strong, we don't need a code of morality I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal, the power you can feel And feeling so high with this much adrenaline Excited but scary to believe what we've become Saints and sinners,something willing us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something within us To be lord of the flies (3:17-Solo: Janick Gers) Saints and sinners, something willing us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something within us To be lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something willing us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something within us To be lord of the flies
4:00 is so funny, Bruce making like Blaze and singing a full octave down. Okay, almost a full octave, since the original is in E and this version is in D, one step lower.
actually this song is still in standard tune they reversed the keys instead of starting in the key of e like the blaze version they started in the key blaze sang in then went to eye as for anyone still debating Bruce versus blaze I am sorry Bruce kills it on this song he opened up the ranges and made it sound more maiden like as for the comment about Bruce not being able to sing it in blazes key wrong again Bruce could do it but the vocals would sound too high if anything Steve and janick altered the keys so blaze could sing where this version with Bruce was the original arrangement of the song and was probably left over from the fear of the dark sessions as for brave New world their are four tracks left over from vertiul x 1 the mercenary dream of mirrors blood brothers the nomad so are we going to say blaze would have sounded better you guys are out of your mind
Dan Horvat guitars are not detuned to d still in standard tune I play guitar keys are reversed to e minor instead of g major it is possible to transpose without detuning the crap out of everything and this song was written during the fear of the dark sessions
Bruce kills it on this song? I hugely disagree, bruce has a tendency to over theatricize songs, this is the perfect example. I remember seeing examples of bruce trying to do dianno's work, and he struggles on any of those songs where he needs to put some nitty gritty into his voice, he just doesnt have that sound, hes more of a schooled a singer (textbook).
Great performance on this gem... also the way Bruce pays his tribute to Blaze that he stood still the entire song as Blaze would have done.... great Iron Maiden.
“I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal the power you can feel And feeling so high with this much adrenalin Excited but scary to believe what we've become.” This verse is so perfect. An absolute psychological thesis on murderous movements from Nazism to murderous Communism to cults like the Manson Family. Inside every person no matter how holy or how noble lays a murderous savage that is only tamed by the civilized world.
i like it that they don't try to make it sound "modern" like it did on the album. it just sounds like the straight-up old-school Maiden we all know and love instead. and that's awesome, feels like they just took the song and tailored it for Bruce's voice.
Cuando un tenor canta canciones escritas en registro barítono, su voz se escucha más opaca. Es increíble como Bruce busca naturalmente el agudo. Y termina cantando espléndidamente en una octava arriba. Fantástica interpretación!
Bruce will never be replaced Never ever His voice charisma and energy on scene are inegalable And will stay untill the end of times Love you and respect so much dear Dickinson and all the members of the band Iron Maiden UNIC
I love this dvd apart from one thing: the editing (I believe Steve Harris was responsible for this). Why on earth do they have to switch between different shots every half a second!? God, it makes my eyes hurt!
I must add, that towards the end of the song, I really loved perhaps even a bit more than some of the versions I've heard Blaze sing. But over all, I think the X-factor album was just terrific for Blaze's voice. Bruce perhaps couldn't have done it any better. X-factor is one of my favorite albums.
Bruce was the best vocalist for Iron Maiden, but he does sound a little uncomfortable with some of those low notes that Blaze Bayley handled with ease. I declare that though Blaze was an imperfect fit, his material with Maiden remains underrated and underappreciated to this day. And that is a hill I will happily die on.
Not knocking Blaze's singing or anything, but this sounds so much better than the studio version! The guitars sound crisp and the performance is energetic, whereas the studio version sounds anemic. Steve Harris is a brilliant songwriter and a gifted bassist, but he failed as a producer for that "X Factor" album.
I really prefer Blaze to this song. Reason being, Blaze's deep bellotone voice blended in better I think. Bruce's high notes over-dominates for this particular song. Takes a song meant to be crunchy and deep, and turns it into a rock opera style.
A voz do Blaze é absurdamente mais rock'n'roll nessa música. Ele fez coisas maravilhosas no Iron (vide Man On The Edge, Justice Of Peace, Doctor Doctor - cover simplesmente sensacional). Infelizmente o tipo de som do Iron Maiden não combina com seu tipo de voz; todos percebemos o quanto foi difícil de achar uma compatibilidade harmônica na grande maioria das músicas. Nessas citadas, a compatibilidade foi perfeita).
+Edson rodolfo de andrade Andrade A canção foi escrita no tom de voz do Blaze, naturalmente , a gravação original ficou melhor. Talvez, se alterassem o tom, ou se colocassem outros arranjos, talvez....
acho quem nem o bruce e nem o blaze cantam as musicas que não foram gravadas por eles melhor que o outro, the x factor e virtual é para o blaze e o restante é para o bruce, e assim ficam perfeitas.
+Edson rodolfo de andrade Andrade Concordo com vc... com algumas raras exceções como afraid to shoot strangers gravada pelo Bruce mas ficou melhor na voz grave do Blaze e clansman, gravada pelo Blaze e melhor na voz do Bruce
afraid to shoot strangers com blaze ficou animal mesmo, ainda prefiro the clasman com blaze, principalmente a parte lenta da musica, blaze deixa ela mais dark com sua voz mais grave, com bruce tbm fica muito boa, opinião minha, mas gosto muito destes dois vocalistas, em 1998 fui no show do iron com blaze no vocal e gostei muito, tenho toda discografia tanto do blaze quanto do bruce, acho o the x factor com blaze muito foda, e os discos piece of mind, the number, seventh son e powerslave com bruce simplesmente de outro planeta, e viva o iron, o bruce e o blaze, vida longa a eles para nossa alegria.
First of all: there is no sense possible in a sentence that features "Bruce's voice is too weak". Sorry pal. You can prefer the original. Fair enough. But... in this version Bruce's voice lacks strength?????? The attack when he climbs 1 octave... the utterly demonic low notes on the verses, the contrast in the bridge.... and the "oh oh oh" part... Blaze is simply humming with blank spaces in between the verses while this guy FILLS the room without gaps. I repeat. if you prefer Blaze that's ok to me. But stating he nails it better than Bruce? Come On... I'll give you an example: I'm a huge Sabbath fan. My favourite era are by far the 70's and my favourite Sabbath singer is Osbourne. But I would have to go completly insane to state that Dio was a worst vocalist and sang the 70's songs worst than Ozzy. Dio was better BY FAR in all aspects. As Bruce is better than Blaze. Nevertheless I do prefer Ozzy's to Dio wich is something COMPLETlY different than saying he´s a better vocalist or that he sings Ozzy's Sabbath songs better (wich is pure nonsense). Same applies to Bruce and Blaze. No hating here: just pure technical vocal facts.
Doesn't matter if this song was originally sung by Blaze, I prefer Bruce's voice. Bruce is the only Maiden singer I've really gotten into (his voice was what got me into Maiden at first). Also, during this whole concert his voice was a little off, maybe because of a cold or something. I think that's the reason he doesn't sound that well here.
even if you prefer his voice overall you have to admit Blaze sings this song better. His voice is so fucking powerful, especially his performance for lord of the flies in the tour that would not die gig
***** I totally agree with you. X factor it's a great album and Blaze vocals in those songs sounds absolutely fantastic. One of my Maiden favourite albums without doubt. The Chemical Wedding great album too.
I like things better with bruce version especially with bruce goimg higher but I like blaze version better because of his dark voice both are equally as good on this song I don't favour either or
Sounds a bit like a different song when Bruce sings it. Dont get me wrong, i dig it completely. To be honest, most of the songs Bruce sings from the Blaze era sound better with him. The only song Blaze edges Bruce with is Afraid to Shoot Strangers.
@@rianfernando9360 da imptessao que Blaze nao tinha coragem de fazer una oitava acima, pq ele parece ter uma voz forte tb... e com ele cantando a musica fica morta...
This Pakistani friend of mine introduced me to heavy metal. He used to rave on and on about the musical prowess of this band and its lyrical depth. Meeh
I don't care for this world anymore I just want to live my own fantasy Fate has brought us to these shores What was meant to be is now happening .. I've found that I like this living in danger Living on edge it feels... it makes me feel as one Who cares now what's right or wrong it's reality Killing so we survive wherever we may roam Wherever we may hide we've got to get away .. I don't want existence to end We must prepare ourselves for the elements I just want to feel like we're strong We don't need a code of morality .. I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal the power you can feel And feeling so high with this much adrenalin Excited but scary to believe what we've become .. Saints and sinners Something within us to be lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something within us To be lord of the flies .. Saints and sinners Something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something willing us To be lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something willing us To be lord of the flies
I didn't know Bruce sang the Blaze songs live. That's a bit unusual for a band's previous lead singer to sing the songs that his replacement sang. That would be like if David Lee Roth sang "When It's Love" or something. However in this case, Bruce's vocal range can handle this song so I find it interesting they choose to do this.
Yeah but Paul Di'Anno was the singer BEFORE Bruce. It's normal for someone to sing the songs that they didn't originally sing if it came from the sing before them. While Bruce technically did replace Blaze, Bruce had been in the band before.
They replaced eachother technically lol, blaze did to Bruce then Bruce did it to blaze and Paul is somewhere in a bar, being a fat drunk and singing maiden songs terribly which he thinks are amazing. The man's a mess and a half
Bruce sang more than one song from the Bailey era. On the Rock in Rio live there are two: Sign of the Cross and The Clansman. The latter is one of my favorite Maiden tunes. I think he sang also Futureal on some point. In an interview I read that he liked doing the Di Anno stuff and the Blaze Bailey stuff, and didn't understand why Ian Gillan would refuse to sing older Deep Purple songs (except Hush) or songs from the Coverdale/Hughes era. It's just a matter of putting your ego aside and enjoy the work others did. And why not, if it was a good work? Maiden wrote some great tune in the Bailey era, problem was only that Bailey wasn't able to develop them to their fullest potential. Plus Bruce is a really cool and down to earth guy. There's a youtube video taken from a radio show where he interviews Blaze Bailey. I think there's one with Di Anno too, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
+jazztom86 Bruce also did Man on the Edge (I think as a live B-side to the Wicker Man) Black Sabbath were another band with Deep Purple's problem, with Dio and multiple other singers singing the Ozzy tracks, Ozzy is the only one that refuses to sing Dio and the others Sabbath songs.
I prefer Blaze's voice for this song, his heart was more in it, not to take anything from Bruce, it's just the way it was written Blaze has a more edgier and darker voice more suited to this song.
I was thinking the same, I LOVE Bruce's voice but this bland-depressed style is much more suited for Blaze's timbre. There's a lot more colour and depth in Bruce's voice imo. That's not to say Blaze's is bad, on the contrary - it only goes to show how much it matters who sings which song.
That's because you are very used to Blaze singing it that you automatically link the song to him. If it was Bruce the one that started to sing it from the start people would be saying the reverse, how Blaze doesn't fit the song.
@@okagron still doesnt change the fact blaze fits better. the only time i said "wow" was clansman (rio 2001). Bruce was on par with blaze if not better.
I aggree with you, Blaze sings good for that record and the virtual XL, but Bruce just takes it a higher step that no one can do. Bruce are an Epic singer and frontman, my hero of all time! Up The Irons!!
Terminei de ler o livro faz pouco tempo e ouvir essa música com a interpretação do Bruce arrepia a alma. Depois que terminei o livro Lord of the Flies fiquei refletindo por vários dias. No começo achei uma história simples mas depois de pensar bastante sobre ele é uma história foda demais, com muita mensagem importante nas entrelinhas.
po q foda, nao sabia que isso era um livro, vou pesquisar. estou terminando de ler Holy smoke, Maiden na década de 90. Conta toda a historia dessa epoca, a mudança de vocal, os cds, o autor comenta detalhadamente sobre as musicas, produção etc etc. voce baixa totalmente a guarda e passa a ter outra visão sobre Blaze vs Bruce. X factor é um ótimo cd, o Blaze fez um ótimo trabalho dentro do q ele é como artista e o maiden fez tb o melhor q pode dadas as circunstancias. Mas eu ainda n tinha escutado o bruce cantando essa. Apesar do maiden ter composto as musicas junto com o Blaze e ser mais fiel ao vocal dele, o Bruce é um monstro mesmo. Se voce escuta a original parece outra banda, escutando o Bruce vc ve a diferença de vibe, nem parece q foi produzida com o Blaze.
this album is so underrated because of bayley that its sick, nobody can see what a masterpiece this album is just because dickinson was taken away from them

My respects to Blaze who immortalized this song.
Conquissstador my respects to, and he really did immortalize it.....
For sure!
@Anonymous Alcoholic bruce is amazing at the high...
Blaze was a descent enough singer, he was good on a few songs. But no Bruce
Epic song! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
They need to put more 90's era songs back in the setlists... These are gems that are overlooked too often...
+MAD中毒222 Agreed!
+MAD中毒222 Childhood's End
MAD中毒222 lightning strikes twice. not only is it a great song but in my opinion it has the best guitar solos of any Maiden song.
Holy smoke, No prayer for the dying, From here to eternity, Be quick or be dead, Wasting love, Lord of the flies, Fortunes of War, Sign of the cross, Man on the edge, Futureal, The clansman, The educated fool are all 90's tracks that should be played live again.
They should also play some great tracks they never even played live before such as Flash of the blade, Deja vu, Fates warning, Childhood's end, Judgement of heaven, Como estais amigos, The thin line between love and hate, Age of innocence, Face in the sand, Gates of tomorrow, The man who would be king and Isle of Avalon. Such a shame these great tracks have never been played live.
Would love to hear Bruce tackle Fortunes of War. My favorite song from the Blaze era.
Its good they haven't erased the Blayze Bailey era from MIADEN like priest done to Ripper...it's a honor for Master Bruce to sing this ..it would be a real treat to see Master Bruce and Blayze side by side
Very sad how Ripper was ignored out of the legacy.
Also, when Adrian came back, they kept Janick Gers and have 3 absolutely amazing guitarists. SOOOO much respect for that.

Love how Bruce sings every song like he owns it! If I didn't know Blaze sang this, I would swear that Bruce wrote it. Sign of a great musician.
Imagine Bruce and Blaze singing at the same time. Now that's epic.
yeahhhh
YEAH! The bass and power of Blaze’s voice combined with the air raid siren vocals of Bruce would make for a fantastic combination

One of my favorite songs ever. The lyrics, janick´s guitar, the whole vibe of it... Bruce nailed it as well! Different approach, also loved it. Iron Maiden best band of the whole universe!!!
don't care for this world anymore,
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to these shores,
what was meant to be is now happening
I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on the edge it feels, it makes me feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong, it's reality
Killing so we survive wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide, we've got to get away
I don't want existence to end,
we must prepare ourselves for the elements
I just want to feel like we're strong,
we don't need a code of morality
I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal, the power you can feel
And feeling so high with this much adrenaline
Excited but scary to believe what we've become
Saints and sinners,something willing us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners, something within us
To be lord of the flies
(3:17-Solo: Janick Gers)
Saints and sinners, something willing us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners, something within us
To be lord of the flies
Saints and sinners, something willing us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners, something within us
To be lord of the flies

actually this song is still in standard tune they reversed the keys instead of starting in the key of e like the blaze version they started in the key blaze sang in then went to eye as for anyone still debating Bruce versus blaze I am sorry Bruce kills it on this song he opened up the ranges and made it sound more maiden like as for the comment about Bruce not being able to sing it in blazes key wrong again Bruce could do it but the vocals would sound too high if anything Steve and janick altered the keys so blaze could sing where this version with Bruce was the original arrangement of the song and was probably left over from the fear of the dark sessions as for brave New world their are four tracks left over from vertiul x 1 the mercenary dream of mirrors blood brothers the nomad so are we going to say blaze would have sounded better you guys are out of your mind
Dan Horvat guitars are not detuned to d still in standard tune I play guitar keys are reversed to e minor instead of g major it is possible to transpose without detuning the crap out of everything and this song was written during the fear of the dark sessions
Bruce kills it on this song? I hugely disagree, bruce has a tendency to over theatricize songs, this is the perfect example. I remember seeing examples of bruce trying to do dianno's work, and he struggles on any of those songs where he needs to put some nitty gritty into his voice, he just doesnt have that sound, hes more of a schooled a singer (textbook).
Gabriel Stern somebody’s actually making sense in the comments ! Can you imagine Blaze singing Nomad Mercenary or Bloodbrothers ? Eewwww
Bruce the great!
Eternamente Iron Maiden.
👍❤
Buah, es que son, no se, no hay palabras. Maiden es eso Maiden se sale de toda escala.
Bruce sobe lá encima nas notas altas.Canta muito esse baixinho....
Né mano, cantou uma oitava acima, humilhou demais
Great performance on this gem... also the way Bruce pays his tribute to Blaze that he stood still the entire song as Blaze would have done.... great Iron Maiden.
Don’t forget the sideburns.
I think that last repeat of the chorus is game, set and match. This is the definitive version of this song.
Exactly!
Meh... gimmie Blaze
“I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal the power you can feel
And feeling so high with this much adrenalin
Excited but scary to believe what we've become.” This verse is so perfect. An absolute psychological thesis on murderous movements from Nazism to murderous Communism to cults like the Manson Family. Inside every person no matter how holy or how noble lays a murderous savage that is only tamed by the civilized world.
INCREÍBLE...temón !!
Con Blaze me encantaba este tema...pero con Bruce...otro nivel...simplemente...
Aprendan a valorar el The X Factor!!
2022 Bruce los lleva a otra dimensión !!!!
undoubtedly one of the best vocalists in the world ... alias the best vocalist in the world in my humble opposition unparalleled voice
So deep and underrated song.
i like it that they don't try to make it sound "modern" like it did on the album.
it just sounds like the straight-up old-school Maiden we all know and love instead.
and that's awesome, feels like they just took the song and tailored it for Bruce's voice.
full energy with this song.
Absolutely positively much better version! Get well Bruce!
This album aged epically. Up the irons!
Cuando un tenor canta canciones escritas en registro barítono, su voz se escucha más opaca. Es increíble como Bruce busca naturalmente el agudo. Y termina cantando espléndidamente en una octava arriba. Fantástica interpretación!
Bruce will never be replaced
Never ever
His voice charisma and energy on scene are inegalable
And will stay untill the end of times
Love you and respect so much dear Dickinson and all the members of the band Iron Maiden
UNIC
Up the irons
Belted out, an entire octave higher than Blaze... Bruce showboating, and it's awesome :D
Clássico 🤘🏻🖤 Jannick Gers Monster!!! ☠️🖤💪🏼
Bruce is the best singer for Iron Maiden and always will be. Enough said..Up The Irons..!
I love this dvd apart from one thing: the editing (I believe Steve Harris was responsible for this). Why on earth do they have to switch between different shots every half a second!? God, it makes my eyes hurt!
Yeah, Rammstein did the same thing with Rammstein Paris. So stupid
Rush in Rio. Great sound but unwatchable
You know its bad when the dvd starts with a seizure warning
Man it was awsome when they surprised with playing this one! The tours need more of these!!!
Eu simplismente amo essa banda....
Muitooo bom!
I must add, that towards the end of the song, I really loved perhaps even a bit more than some of the versions I've heard Blaze sing. But over all, I think the X-factor album was just terrific for Blaze's voice. Bruce perhaps couldn't have done it any better. X-factor is one of my favorite albums.
I could spend my whole life listening Bruce sings this song
Bruce is Iron maiden soul,thank's God he's back! Iron Maiden is the sound track of my live.God Bless the irons
For this song better Blaze!!!!
Forget the discussion whether Bruce is better or blaze is...
Surely Adrian made the intro riff fckin Amazing..!!
Maidenize666 well janick sucked but adrian played the song really awesome.
Fuck yeah
Maidenize666 fuck yeaj
Maidenize666 fuck yeahhj
Maidenize666 fuck yeahhhh
Brutal. Mágico. Maiden es una bestia descomunal.
muzyka rozpływa się!!!! wspaniale
Long live Bayley.
Obra maestra 😍
They really need to sing this song 2024
I love this band brothers..
Bruce was the best vocalist for Iron Maiden, but he does sound a little uncomfortable with some of those low notes that Blaze Bayley handled with ease. I declare that though Blaze was an imperfect fit, his material with Maiden remains underrated and underappreciated to this day. And that is a hill I will happily die on.
Not knocking Blaze's singing or anything, but this sounds so much better than the studio version! The guitars sound crisp and the performance is energetic, whereas the studio version sounds anemic. Steve Harris is a brilliant songwriter and a gifted bassist, but he failed as a producer for that "X Factor" album.
Blaze low voice is amazing, such a great signer !
Bruce e gênio....essa canção já e belíssima, na voz do Bruce....não teria como ficar melhor
Bruce é tão foda, que até ele faz o cover parecer original e vice e versa.
Anderson mendonça então ele faz o original parecer cover?
Acho que foi isso que ele quis dizer.
Parece que a versão original é do Bruce (que fez o cover) e o cover do Blaze (que fez o original).
Com blaze e bem melhor ,pois a música foi feita para voz dele
I really prefer Blaze to this song. Reason being, Blaze's deep bellotone voice blended in better I think. Bruce's high notes over-dominates for this particular song. Takes a song meant to be crunchy and deep, and turns it into a rock opera style.
Wow... That voice of Bruce Dickinson and the intention that he puts in each song ... it's really exciting to listen to.
Sois lo más grande que ha dado la humanidad. Eternas gracias por cada momento que me hacéis sentir el sentido de esta vida.
Comparto plenamente!
Carai, é incrível como Bruce consegue transformar uma coisa mais ou menos em ótima.
Exatamente, deixou a música muito mais empolgante subindo uma oitava, tem gente que ainda fala que o Blaze é melhor
A voz do Blaze é absurdamente mais rock'n'roll nessa música. Ele fez coisas maravilhosas no Iron (vide Man On The Edge, Justice Of Peace, Doctor Doctor - cover simplesmente sensacional). Infelizmente o tipo de som do Iron Maiden não combina com seu tipo de voz; todos percebemos o quanto foi difícil de achar uma compatibilidade harmônica na grande maioria das músicas. Nessas citadas, a compatibilidade foi perfeita).
Bruce the number one 🙂✌🤘🤘🤟
Great song
blaze the best.
+Edson rodolfo de andrade Andrade A canção foi escrita no tom de voz do Blaze, naturalmente , a gravação original ficou melhor. Talvez, se alterassem o tom, ou se colocassem outros arranjos, talvez....
acho quem nem o bruce e nem o blaze cantam as musicas que não foram gravadas por eles melhor que o outro, the x factor e virtual é para o blaze e o restante é para o bruce, e assim ficam perfeitas.
+Edson rodolfo de andrade Andrade Concordo com vc... com algumas raras exceções como afraid to shoot strangers gravada pelo Bruce mas ficou melhor na voz grave do Blaze e clansman, gravada pelo Blaze e melhor na voz do Bruce
afraid to shoot strangers com blaze ficou animal mesmo, ainda prefiro the clasman com blaze, principalmente a parte lenta da musica, blaze deixa ela mais dark com sua voz mais grave, com bruce tbm fica muito boa, opinião minha, mas gosto muito destes dois vocalistas, em 1998 fui no show do iron com blaze no vocal e gostei muito, tenho toda discografia tanto do blaze quanto do bruce, acho o the x factor com blaze muito foda, e os discos piece of mind, the number, seventh son e powerslave com bruce simplesmente de outro planeta, e viva o iron, o bruce e o blaze, vida longa a eles para nossa alegria.
Fuck Blaze, he SUCKS !
BY FAR the best version
okay thats your opinion i thik OWNS this song Blaze just dosint fit in Maiden
First of all: there is no sense possible in a sentence that features "Bruce's voice is too weak". Sorry pal. You can prefer the original. Fair enough. But... in this version Bruce's voice lacks strength?????? The attack when he climbs 1 octave... the utterly demonic low notes on the verses, the contrast in the bridge.... and the "oh oh oh" part... Blaze is simply humming with blank spaces in between the verses while this guy FILLS the room without gaps. I repeat. if you prefer Blaze that's ok to me. But stating he nails it better than Bruce? Come On... I'll give you an example: I'm a huge Sabbath fan. My favourite era are by far the 70's and my favourite Sabbath singer is Osbourne. But I would have to go completly insane to state that Dio was a worst vocalist and sang the 70's songs worst than Ozzy. Dio was better BY FAR in all aspects. As Bruce is better than Blaze. Nevertheless I do prefer Ozzy's to Dio wich is something COMPLETlY different than saying he´s a better vocalist or that he sings Ozzy's Sabbath songs better (wich is pure nonsense). Same applies to Bruce and Blaze. No hating here: just pure technical vocal facts.
Awesome
Bruce sings this song really good.
bruce is the god of metal and iron maiden he can sing Everything..
UP THE IRON'S !!!!
great song...
As much as i love bruce.. this son was made blade vocal as futurreal.. 100 times better on blaze vocals!
Essa música já era boa na voz do Blaze, no Dickinson detonou!!!
Muito bom!!!
Blaze the Best 🤘🏻💚
Doesn't matter if this song was originally sung by Blaze, I prefer Bruce's voice.
Bruce is the only Maiden singer I've really gotten into (his voice was what got me into Maiden at first).
Also, during this whole concert his voice was a little off, maybe because of a cold or something. I think that's the reason he doesn't sound that well here.
even if you prefer his voice overall you have to admit Blaze sings this song better. His voice is so fucking powerful, especially his performance for lord of the flies in the tour that would not die gig
is it just me or is it scary how much he sounds like rob halford at 1:55
Blaze the best.
could not agree more!
accident of birth and chemical wedding were gems as a solo singer , way better than the 2 maiden releases with blaze ,
***** I totally agree with you. X factor it's a great album and Blaze vocals in those songs sounds absolutely fantastic. One of my Maiden favourite albums without doubt. The Chemical Wedding great album too.
***** I disagree, Virtual XI was a great album imo
I like things better with bruce version especially with bruce goimg higher but I like blaze version better because of his dark voice both are equally as good on this song I don't favour either or
Sounds a bit like a different song when Bruce sings it. Dont get me wrong, i dig it completely. To be honest, most of the songs Bruce sings from the Blaze era sound better with him. The only song Blaze edges Bruce with is Afraid to Shoot Strangers.
Wow, Bruce takes this song to another level.
They re-arranged this for Bruce. Transposed down one half step. so that he could go up that high in the refrain.
i love blaze. i just prefer this version.
blaze gets his props for having one of the most amazing solo careers ever. ;)
4:17 a 4:37 .. BLAZE NUNCA CONSEGUIU CANTAR DESSE JEITO!!! nunca
Pq a voz dele não é aguda como a do Bruce, o alcance vocal é totalmente diferente.
@@rianfernando9360 da imptessao que Blaze nao tinha coragem de fazer una oitava acima, pq ele parece ter uma voz forte tb... e com ele cantando a musica fica morta...
maa cara... na voz dele tb é foda essa música. E olha que o Bruce pra mim é o cara!!!
This Pakistani friend of mine introduced me to heavy metal. He used to rave on and on about the musical prowess of this band and its lyrical depth. Meeh
best maiden song ever written
claramente esta cancion como otras del album X Factor están hechas para la voz de Blaze Bayley.
Exceto Man on the Edge, que encaixou perfeitamente na voz do Bruce.
No la canta mal Bruce pero hay diferencia y mucha en la entonación agudos buf mucha
concordo q combina mais com o Blaze, mas na voz do Dickinson ficou bom também, tem outra característica e cai bem, só que do jeito do Dickinson
Agreed!
Oloko, ficou muito melhor, o cara subiu uma oitava e deu um upgrade na musica
Bruce is MONSTER! WOW
Love this version
Bruce CAN scream! Thats the difference and he should do so. He is way better than Blaze who often sing wrong and missed the key
Its pretty obvious that some X Factor songs were written for Bruce before he left...
George Vrachliotis then why does blaze's version sound better
X Factor with Bruce would have been epic!
George Vrachliotis I don´t agree, maybe they were written for him, but in compairising this version is lame
False.
FAKE.
I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to these shores
What was meant to be is now happening
..
I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on edge it feels... it makes me feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong it's reality
Killing so we survive wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide we've got to get away
..
I don't want existence to end
We must prepare ourselves for the elements
I just want to feel like we're strong
We don't need a code of morality
..
I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal the power you can feel
And feeling so high with this much adrenalin
Excited but scary to believe what we've become
..
Saints and sinners
Something within us
to be lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something within us
To be lord of the flies
..
Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies
Bruce the best forever
I didn't know Bruce sang the Blaze songs live. That's a bit unusual for a band's previous lead singer to sing the songs that his replacement sang. That would be like if David Lee Roth sang "When It's Love" or something. However in this case, Bruce's vocal range can handle this song so I find it interesting they choose to do this.
because they prob see it as a maiden song, not a Bruce and or blaze song.
Yeah but Paul Di'Anno was the singer BEFORE Bruce. It's normal for someone to sing the songs that they didn't originally sing if it came from the sing before them. While Bruce technically did replace Blaze, Bruce had been in the band before.
They replaced eachother technically lol, blaze did to Bruce then Bruce did it to blaze and Paul is somewhere in a bar, being a fat drunk and singing maiden songs terribly which he thinks are amazing. The man's a mess and a half
Bruce sang more than one song from the Bailey era. On the Rock in Rio live there are two: Sign of the Cross and The Clansman. The latter is one of my favorite Maiden tunes. I think he sang also Futureal on some point. In an interview I read that he liked doing the Di Anno stuff and the Blaze Bailey stuff, and didn't understand why Ian Gillan would refuse to sing older Deep Purple songs (except Hush) or songs from the Coverdale/Hughes era. It's just a matter of putting your ego aside and enjoy the work others did. And why not, if it was a good work? Maiden wrote some great tune in the Bailey era, problem was only that Bailey wasn't able to develop them to their fullest potential. Plus Bruce is a really cool and down to earth guy. There's a youtube video taken from a radio show where he interviews Blaze Bailey. I think there's one with Di Anno too, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
+jazztom86 Bruce also did Man on the Edge (I think as a live B-side to the Wicker Man)
Black Sabbath were another band with Deep Purple's problem, with Dio and multiple other singers singing the Ozzy tracks, Ozzy is the only one that refuses to sing Dio and the others Sabbath songs.
I prefer Blaze's voice for this song, his heart was more in it, not to take anything from Bruce, it's just the way it was written Blaze has a more edgier and darker voice more suited to this song.
totally agree
I was thinking the same, I LOVE Bruce's voice but this bland-depressed style is much more suited for Blaze's timbre. There's a lot more colour and depth in Bruce's voice imo. That's not to say Blaze's is bad, on the contrary - it only goes to show how much it matters who sings which song.
That's because you are very used to Blaze singing it that you automatically link the song to him. If it was Bruce the one that started to sing it from the start people would be saying the reverse, how Blaze doesn't fit the song.
@@okagron still doesnt change the fact blaze fits better. the only time i said "wow" was clansman (rio 2001). Bruce was on par with blaze if not better.
I aggree with you, Blaze sings good for that record and the virtual XL, but Bruce just takes it a higher step that no one can do. Bruce are an Epic singer and frontman, my hero of all time!
Up The Irons!!
Iron Maiden The Best!!!
I like both of them, but in songs like this one I think that Blaze sounds much better.
agreed!
I agree 100& man \m/!!
CeltisManOne 1.0 you forgot one thing ;) this is fucking 2006 tour :) for this song you need to back bruce from Long beach arena :)
+tornike imedadze If we could bring bruce back to his voice in the 1980's, this song would be a classic
think it was 2003. 2006 was the matter of life and death tour
Iron Maiden just doesn't sound the same without Bruce, for me anyway. His voice has that unique high pitched ingredient that makes it all pop.
Bruce the demmon god of heavy metal. 👑
Terminei de ler o livro faz pouco tempo e ouvir essa música com a interpretação do Bruce arrepia a alma. Depois que terminei o livro Lord of the Flies fiquei refletindo por vários dias. No começo achei uma história simples mas depois de pensar bastante sobre ele é uma história foda demais, com muita mensagem importante nas entrelinhas.
po q foda, nao sabia que isso era um livro, vou pesquisar. estou terminando de ler Holy smoke, Maiden na década de 90. Conta toda a historia dessa epoca, a mudança de vocal, os cds, o autor comenta detalhadamente sobre as musicas, produção etc etc. voce baixa totalmente a guarda e passa a ter outra visão sobre Blaze vs Bruce. X factor é um ótimo cd, o Blaze fez um ótimo trabalho dentro do q ele é como artista e o maiden fez tb o melhor q pode dadas as circunstancias. Mas eu ainda n tinha escutado o bruce cantando essa. Apesar do maiden ter composto as musicas junto com o Blaze e ser mais fiel ao vocal dele, o Bruce é um monstro mesmo. Se voce escuta a original parece outra banda, escutando o Bruce vc ve a diferença de vibe, nem parece q foi produzida com o Blaze.
@@kahapora1665 lê o livro que a música se torna 10x melhor, com muito mais significado. Eu já amava a música, agora acho uma obra prima.
this album is so underrated because of bayley that its sick, nobody can see what a masterpiece this album is just because dickinson was taken away from them
this is one of the best albums, and the best post-80s
