Anneke van Giersbergen - Wasted Years (cover) Iron Maiden 

You know the balls it takes to do a maiden cover alone in a room full of metal heads and Anneke has every one of them.

There's a reason why this song is a favourite of Maiden fans over the decades. It's certainly one of mine. Hits me in the feels every time.

Wtf. I started tearing up within minutes. Love her. Love the life I was fortunate to be born into. Found The Gathering when I was about 15, mid 90's. This is so great.

Great wasted years cover on accoustic The audience singing along make me goosebumb 😘

I´ve been a maiden fan since I was 10, this version was amazing and that intro was magic.

I watched this with a big smile on my face.

One of the purest, most beautiful voices in the world. And stunningly beautiful.

I don't know why but I feel like she has the Midas Touch. Everything she sings on is amazing

One of the greatest songs ever. I've never heard it performed bad, it seems to cross all forms of music

Wonderful voice and interesting choices. Very enjoyable rendition, thank you!

I'd pay to see the full production or a live version in a heartbeat🙌

Love Anneke! And 2017 was really golden - 5 festivals for me , also City Rock with UFO and Europe ( but in Leeuwarden ) Missing those times big time! 🤘

Very good sound... wonder Singer... beautiful, great voice and play very well the guitar. 🥰🥰🤩🤩😘😘

I love this... so cool. goosebumps at 1.40 everyone singing

The whole location singing. Seeing those Posters and fricken Sacred Reich Banner. Awesome

I never realized how cool this song can be stripped down like this. It's an amazing song to begin with, but I just never realized what a great cover could be done of it.

WOW smiling eyes...a smiling face while she sings...thats the way it goes...Like it

I Love this song, super acoustic, good version, good interpretation

One of my favorite songs from the best Maiden album.

Holy crap. The moment you started singing, I knew I was gonna like this. Great job

You brightened my Sunday!

I have red that all the men love Anneke. And yes, here is some great showwomanship or...honest straightforward singing and playing for people listening to. Moreover she has something motherly, tender, kind, smiling... She seems to take risks and the result is not out of music academy but very touching!

I just fell in love with Anneke all over again.

Amazing that this song seems to strike a chord and I’ve seen it covered acoustically by a couple of people(See Ryan Adams) much like times like these foo fighters.Almost a modern day folk song.Everyone can relate

For sure this is one of the best Iron Maiden cover ever !

Wasn't expecting that, absolutely fantastic!

Wonderful cover, beautifully performed. Bravo 👏

Belissima apresentacao!!!!!!!!

Brilliant rock and roll 🇮🇪🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A great song can be stripped down to its basics and still sound great. Lovely version.

Anneke displays her love for Maiden Why? Because she should’ve watched A.S.A.P. live some 30 years ago Adrian used to play this one in the mid acoustic section of the set list, in a much different manner from the electric rock anthem they turned it into onto the somewhere in time album But I bet he’d swear this song originated just like this from back in the day Thank you Anneke A quite faithful rendition of those long forgotten vibes

Living with the Dutch, off Falkenberg strat, became obsessed with The Gathering and couldn't understand how anyone could ever begin to compare ANY other female fronted band to them ever...No, weed was nowhere legal stateside then...now, I live in new Amsterdam - Denver.

We love her

If the world ever lost power, Wasted Years would do just fine...

OH MYYYYY!! 💋❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕 BRAVOOOOOO ending was SWEEET 🤘😎🤘💕💕❤️❤️👀💯💯💯

Wow that was awesome

Great. Good job. 10. 10.

Clicked this thinking it was going to be crap but I've watched it 3 times now and it's a really nice cover. Just goes to show a good song is a good song regardless 👍

She's a treasure.

Anneke, that was beautiful!...

Lovely cover.

Maximum Respect...

Anneke sono innamorato della tua voce da decenni ❤

Another Anneke's lovely thing

Such a great performance my friend. You are so talented. Great cover..

That smile 😚😚😚😚

This is great and a killer smile! Big Sub👍👏👏

Awesome cover!

Amazing

Love her style, I’m a hardcore heavy metal fan but I only write, sing, and perform country(ish)/folk music so this was a real treat for me. Thanks for sharing👍

Oh! GOD that SMILE! :D
