Iron Maiden - The Red And The Black (The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter) 

The instrumental part and chorus are great, but the beginning sucks and Bruce is trying too hard in that part.

@@VNeto94 You speak nonsense. Greetings from South America where live the true Maiden fans

@@metalero2311 explain how the dragging and repeating beggining is good? (I'm from Brazil, btw)

@@metalero2311 you like it because of the easy "wooooooos".

@@VNeto94 The original "The Red and the Black" is way better, man. You don't need to remove all the sense of grandeur and spaciousness it had. I like the original because it felt like this great rambling yarn you could get lost in - which wouldn't normally be a compliment, except the song's numerous guitar passages are wonderful, and flow into each other in a fun, playful sort of manner. That bass intro is really great - you can feel the weight and size of the song looming, huge as it is, when those ominous first few notes play. And the "woah oh oh" parts help the song. The version you want just would sound choppy and disjointed. Then again, I don't see a point in fan edits of artists' work in any way most of the time. I like seeing what the original intent was. I'm from Argentina.

Red symbolizes emotions and Black is the ego mind of thoughts that are blind to everything (as all thoughts/beliefs are at surface level in either past/future in duality in the illusion of time, not unity/oneness - love of the infinite NOW of eternity of SOUL). The only way of light/truth/spirit is to not think and not give into fear (emotions) and go deep within to activate all that is Within you (White = Light) by taking Entheogen plants (Shamanism) that do just that. It's not a coincidence Iron Maiden's Book of Souls album began with the word "Shaman" in the opening track- "If Eternity Should Fail", right in the introduction of the song. As Shamanism is the Truth by activating all that is WITHIN you. Hence why every rel-igion on the p-lanet states the kingdom of Nature/Universe/Heavens is all Within you...By activating all seven chakras within you.

Musical inclined is one thing;an orgasim is another L.O.L 😮❤🎉

That's exactly what I was thinking listening to this. Most songs reach a climax. This song climaxes and keeps it there for several minutes. Like a never-ending orgasm.

And sold out gigs

Same comment but my favorite part starts at 9m00s... I dont know another band that can reinvent itself after so many years and come out with such epic songs ! (maybe Rush can qualify as this with Clockwork Angels but that's another story...;-) )

Agreed, that part is so fucking epic :D And the energy of the band is pure magic!

Andrei Tise because they are simply the best musicians out there, their musical skills are overwhelming !!

best part for sure

James Thwaite exactly, I´ve always said their music since that particular album have become more ravishing, captivating, complexed and sublime, and I honestly think Janick is mostly responsible for that, all theese soft, gentle intros and outros, mainly on accoustic guitar, the long sprawling progressive tracks. I honestly think we can thank Janick for most of it, I love and admire the guy to bits.....

Invicta tattoo Never could be...if anything comes close its another lifetime away

Brian Sternett true that,you couldn't be more right about that

Invicta tatoo ultimate truth !!!

Invicta tattoo you're god damn right!

They're the godfathers of Heavy Metal. They literally invented a music genre and completely innovated the metal and rock scene. NOTHING in any lifetime will come close, everything will always be compared to Iron Maiden

welcome home dear, UP THE IRONS

Welcome. Back. Enjoy the smell of iron once again

Yeah, pretty much. (I’d say the one in ‘The Prisoner’ would be second)

The Duellists

I'd love to hear TRATB without synths! It would be incredible! There needs to be one of those apps or web pages that remove vocals, or isolate vocals, or whatever. Can you imagine if you could remove synths from a song??? It would be incredible!

StalkerMonolith, they should have reatired after the utter shite of a crap album 'Dance of Death'. It's shameful on every level. Never released anything actualy good since 1999 for heaven's sake ! This song is good, but scratching around for the occasional worthy track is just lame for any band's standards, let alone Iron Maiden. I won't even mention the 90's, it's too painful, allthough not as bad as...well, with great pain I must say....Bad, but not as bad as their second half of their carreer. In fact, it's been a longer period. Oh my God, I hate to even thik about it. I am no stuck guy, give us back the 80's like...But yeah, bands stand for something. They kept the lyrics interestingish but really, the music went down the bog. I say FINALLY sack that clown Gers, and start writting some kinky, streetwise, progressive stuff from the heart. I mean clearly they CAN'T go wrong commercialy...What's the worst thing that can happen? Check Saxon as an example. And they aren't half as good as Iron Maiden on their best day.

@@DidacticEditions that's your opinion, I think many will disagree... I think some of their best albums are in the second bruce era, for me the best is "A Matter of Life and Death". Also, I think their latest albums are much more complex then their 80's stuff, and I apreciate that

@@noam4832 We re all brothers in metal and in the Iron Maiden family above all. But with much respect, many can disagree all they want. That doesn't change the definition of music, the complexity and quality of it. Sure there are tastes, but long songs with sudden random changes will match complexity, definetely not in quality, the masterpieces of the 80's. So, I love Brave new world. It's a brilliant album, different to that era, but good. The rest after that...Sorry they cannot compare. Plus, back in the first decade, you had masterpiece after masterpiece album in quick succession, with every single song being perfect...But yeah

@@DidacticEditions Dance of Death wasn't their best, but it wasn't that bad and Book of Souls is their #2 best album ever. I swear guys like you think they should have packed it in after Number of the Beast so they could never tarnish them with any other music they could ever possibly make.

@@Shockeye00 how dumb are you????? They should never pack it up, but 7th son of a 7th son is their last IRON MAIDEN album. Shit hot, no skippable material etc. Guys like my nothing. Get real

avec METALLICA bien sur …@@bayadjerroud4693

Iron Maiden is a "Shamanic band" of infinite Truths and love and light. That nobody else can see and understand. Only UNLESS you have Be-come " it " and totally transformed your-Self to infinite Truths of Soul and Spirit in higher dimensions of consciousness can you possibly ever totally understand the beauty of Iron Maiden. Because, "If it's not Shamanic, it's not Organic. " Not many people have the ability to understand Iron Maiden, as most people live in the lies of duality of good and evil of the mind and are just walking "reactions", and lack the consciousness. But, Iron Maiden = Easily the greatest Heavy Metal band in music history. No band writes such depth in their lyrics of the overall human condition with such intelligence & wisdom, bringing light, combined with such beautiful depth, grace, and power in their music. Absolute masters of their craft and creativity. They are untouchable. All you have to do is read Bruce's published books to see these guys have tons of direct Spiritual experiences. These guys know truth and fully know and see right through the lies of society's game, and they see right through all the lies of Religion (and when I say religion I am talking about the lies churches teach, not true Spirituality, as spirituality and religion are nothing alike). Maiden is so much better than Metallica in so many ways. Much better musicians, better singer, far better songwriting. Much more melodic. More "pure" energy. Have almost twice the albums of Metallica, far more longevity and have so many more great songs, and Maiden never wrote a bad album ( you could say they had a sub-par album in the 90's, but remember that was with half the band missing doing their solo stuff). Metallica never really had much to say, while Maiden has so much to say that allow you to really question so many things. Maiden never sold out by producing garbage albums like Metallica's St Anger to appease popularity and the current music "trends" of society, that always pass away, are totally meaningless, and are fake anyways., And you definitely won't see Iron Maiden prostituting themselves in silly reality TV shows like Metallica and KISS have done for years. It's just not Maiden's style. They have absolutely no interest in being "celebrities", or any gossip/drama. Drawing attention away from them because as they said, the music is about much more than them. Which is why they have a mascot "eddie" on their album covers, so people focus on eddie and not the "images" of the band members. Having Eddie (which is just a representation of the blind ego-based mind) leaves them alone to be themselves and they don't have to have any fake image of being "rock stars". As Bruce once said, We can continue making music when we're old and ugly and just slap Eddie on the album cover and nobody will mind. And it is brilliant. Inner light doesn't need the spotlight. Maiden always stayed true and original. Always timeless. Eternal. Nobody sounds like them and nobody ever will. Nobody will again write such important and complete concept albums with such atmosphere like Somewhere in Time and Seventh son, with that super high-level musicianship and genius bass and guitar work (and no band introduced synthesizers into their music with such seamless genius as Maiden did on those 2 albums),, as the concepts of those albums are vital to every human being and Spirit- realizing the illusion of time, and seventh's son concept of realizing the illusion of duality,. The beauty and truths of 1984's " Powerslave" album with it's beautiful egyptian theme, and the striking messages that are right in the title track itself (Powerslave). How humans are slaves to death (in other words, slaves to the illusions of Time), therefore slaves to needing power or any control or judgment, the cause of all our deep inner separations, our greed and selfishness and total blindness, because of the Ego false-self. All of our problems come from our absolute stupidity of fear of death, as humans are totally separated from Truths of Spirit and Soul. The more one fears death, the more one is fearful of life and fearful of fully receiving and giving love. Truth is always paradoxical, as at the speed of light there is no time, it's the Eternal Now of presence. In other words no duality of Good and evil, but only "unity" consciousness of light of the infinite Oneness of the Universe, as you are the Universe ( it's not a coincidence that Maiden's new album has a song titled "Speed of Light"). And it's not a coincidence that "Somewhere in Time" was their next album after they produced one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time - Powerslave. And who else in heavy metal at the time had the courage to write long 14-minute masterpieces like Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to close out an album?? The answer is nobody else, only Maiden, because it was unheard of before that. And their new album, they just wrote an 18-minute masterpiece to close that album with most of the band over 60. Again, IN-tegrity. Nobody else had a 7-album run like Maiden's first 7 albums. Some bands may put out a couple nice albums in their prime and whisper away into the night, but Maiden put together 7 fantastic albums in a row. And the fact they put out so much great material of those 7 monumental albums in just an 8 year span is unfathomable. Magical. They don't write about meaningless sleaze as other bands do, with the exception of the song "22 Acacia Avenue" in their early days (although the end of that song does have a positive message), and the band said they regretted it, and why they very rarely play it live, even though it is a very good song and fans always ask them to play it live. Speaking of Live, their live albums are excellent. You simply cannot find bands with live albums that can approach Maidens live recordings, and in ways better than the studio albums, and that speaks volumes. And at 60 years of age and 40 years into their careers, they are still pumping out great new material. Unlike Metallica where their last 4 albums they were just looking for something to click with no purpose or direction, just poking around aimlessly, it's blatantly obvious. Just 15 years into Metallica's career they were long done producing shameful music with albums like Reload and St Anger. While Maiden, always progressing itself, yet staying true to their form and originality at the same time, 20+ years into their careers came out with a very good album 'Brave New world' . The band quietly laughing at anyone who thought they were done, with a nice tip of the hat to the legendary psychedelic medicine visionary Alduous Huxley. Many songs on that album like "Dream of Mirrors", and "Ghost of the Navigator" that metallica can't touch. If you want to see what a fraud Metallica has always been, a simple search for Grunge "Metallica's shadiest secrets" will do the trick. And years later, Iron Maiden 25 to 35 years into their careers wrote and produced so many great songs like "The Nomad", " Dance of Death", "The Red and the Black, "The Talisman", "If Eternity should fail", The Man who would be King", "Paschendale", "Brighter than a Thousands Suns", "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", "Lord of Light, Isle of Avalon", "The Legacy", "The Longest Day", "Montsegur", "Starblind"", "Out of the Shadows", "The Book of Souls", "Journeyman (and Journeyman being my personal Ayahuasca journey tribute song :-)" .... "Rainmaker", "Coming Home", "For the Greater Good of God", just to name a few songs that metallica hasn't come close to achieving in their mid to later years. Cliff Burton was the heart of Metallica and by far their best and most talented musician. Burton was to Metallica what Steve Harris is to Iron Maiden. Steve Harris is widely considered to be the best heavy metal bassist of all-time, and if Burton were still alive, he'd be right there with Harris, that's how good Burton was. Nobody in Metallica comes close to Burton's immense talent he had as a musician. When Burton passed away in 1986 Metallica went downhill as they lost their true backbone and juice. And they replaced him with mere hired guns to control, just a hired body to fill in, not to have as a real contributor. But let's face it, a major part of Metallica's popularity is just because of the label that they are an 'american band'. Metallica is always covering Maiden songs in their concerts, and they've played multiple Maiden songs in their concerts as Metallica was influenced by Iron Maiden (All you have to hear is Lars Ulrich grovel at Iron Maiden like a lost puppy during Maidens 2008 tour) . But you don't see Maiden covering Metallica songs. Because Maiden IS Maiden. Even if you split the band members into doing solo work, James Hetfield couldn't come close to writing such a beautiful solo album for himself as Bruce did with "The Chemical Wedding", and what a masterpiece album that is. Why don't more people know about Bruce's solo work? who knows, but people are missing out. One thing is for sure, there is so much more love and MYSTERY in Iron Maiden's music. And so much more meaning. And they always truly progressed. Not many people understand the deep Spiritual meanings in Iron Maiden's music, or understand the full concepts of their albums because they're quite deep, mysterious, wonderous, and absolutely magnificent. But once you grow Spiritually to higher levels of Consciousness, Maiden can bring you to weeping tears with their beauty and Truths in their music. Metallica doesn't have that depth, beauty, or power. Real Power is so much more than just playing fast and heavy. Iron Maiden is so much more than just a great heavy metal band, Maiden is much more than the music. As when it comes to the greatest in anything, there is always Much More than meets the eyes (and ears). Eye love you Iron Maiden!!. Gratitude !! Shanti OM . Namaste!

Robert Demeter and I though I was long winded ! Well said my brother, well said.. very true

Flat Earth, All confusion and sadness and pain and suffering comes from the Ego-thinking mind. All thoughts are lies. Hence why satan is nothing more than fancy word-play for the ego mind. Hence Iron Maiden's " Piece of Mind" album cover from 1983. As "you" don't exist. The "I" is total illusion, and the divine light of Heavy Metal music always told you that, and very explicitly. Do yourself a big favor and read all the replies from my wife Simione and eye , our replies to Chris Pinto at the youtube video titled " Tool Fear Innoculum Special Edition Opening and Exploration" .. And read all our posts, there are about 70 replies there, and click all the links to our posts. And you will see in striking detail how all government and religion is a total lie, and how Heavy Metal music always told you that from the beginning. As Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is Gods music. Always has been and always will be ;')

Again, iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind" album cover from 1983 tells you everything. Eddie is nothing more than a metaphorical representation of the Ego mind, as who the person thinks they are and all their beliefs are total PRISONS. The mind knows nothing. As everything in society and religion is a lie, as it's all illuminati-government manufactured. Ask yourself, since when did the government buy the Earth for you to pay them so they can tell you how to live here ? Exactly, they never bought the earth, it's all a total sham. Satan (or devil) is nothing more than fancy word-play for thoughts of the ego thinking mind, as all beliefs and all thoughts are outwardly ( not inwardly), therefore all thoughts and all beliefs are all lies and illusions when it comes to infinite spiritual truths. Don't forget to read the tombstone on Maiden's LIVE AFTER DEATH album cover from 1985 , death is total illusion. People miss that just as people miss the 3rd eye Pineal Gland that is depicted in detail just below the moonlight on Maidens "Somewhere in Time" album cover. Look at the top of the building just to the right under the moonlight. The pineal gland 3rd eye within you that you must activate - Spiritual Vision. Just as Eddie is stricken activating the 3rd eye Pineal gland on Live After Death's album cover. The pineal gland 3rd eye and our chakra system is all over the Powerslave album (1984) insert as well. Simply listen to Iron Maiden's song titled "Revelations", the song is about activating the 7 chakras, the venom up the spine by facing your Dark - Ness, as all spiritual teachings are in the dark. Activating all 7 chakras within you along the Spine (via Entheogen plants) is the only way to Spiritual Ascension, as all religions since the first religion the Rig Veda of India come from Alchemy (Entheogens) , in other words, Shamanism. Hence why Bruce Dickinson speaks of that through his solo albums, for example his song " The Alchemist" ( which eye have uploaded on my YT channel). Gods music. Period.

The greatest Rock N' Roll bands ALWAYS spoke of Entheogen plants, such as Black Sabbath's song "Behind the Wall of Sleep." So then explain WTF are people believing ?! As all religions reference Entheogen plants since the first religion the Rig Veda of India, there are hundreds of books written that prove it. This is something churches will never tell you as government and modern religion is nothing more than a fake tool to control the masses. All religions reference the 7-chakras that you must activate WITHIN you, which is the ONLY way to Spiritual Ascension, which is exactly what entheogen plants activate within us. Hence why every religion on the planet states - " The kingdom of Heaven and God is WITHIN You". As all religions come from Shamanism at their roots. But religions have been completely manipulated since, by man's stupid need for "control". But you are terrified of going deep within millions of times deeper than your Ego-mind wants to go via Entheogen plants, because there is endless darkness and hells you have to face.. That only you created. Words like satan are nothing more than fancy word-play for thoughts and beliefs, in other words your ego thinking Mind. Enemies do not exist in reality, you are always and forever your own worst enemy, lifetime through lifetime through many lifetimes. You will reincarnate in your next life to exactly that which yoi hate the most, as that is how the infinite intelligence of the Universe and Spirit/Nature teaches. But of course, you absolutely hate human spiritual ascension, as it's a reflection of your hatred for humanity. As you hate yourself. Atheists hate direct spiritual experiences, just like a christian hates direct spiritual experiences . Through the devil which is nothing more than your EGO thinking blind mind. The fact that fake society tells you that christians and atheists are opposites is laughable. Hilarious !! As they are entirely the same. Hence why both hate deep questions, just as government hates deep questions. As you are just like the government in reality and created by government as everything you believe and think, they told you to believe and think.

Same here mate

I feel the same, fkn nr 1 😉

the same to me!!!!

Agreed, he has so much emotion in his solos.

Adrian is so fucking beautiful. No words are needed. Period

My first time getting my ass kicked by Adrian was the Song "Stranger in a Strange Land" back in 1986 as a teen. Adrian wrote that song and all guitar parts. Eye listened to Maiden since 1983's Piece of Mind album. But that solo and guitar work from "Stranger" ripped me apart to pieces and everything Iron Maiden opened up for me. Loads of spiritual truths on that album and all through their fantastic and timeless discography of albums if you simply allow yourself to stop listening ( the lies of effort) and learn how to Hear ( to let go of your ego mind) :-)

Especially during their '80's heyday.

PowerSlave/Caught Somewhere in Time/Heaven can Wait/Wasted Years/Hallowed be thy Name still blows my mind today!

exactly.... i love so much this part

Toda la canción suena en armonía... suben y bajan las vibraciones con subliminal perfección...

I could be wrong but I think it is the only time all three guitarists have played the lead at the same time with no rhythm guitarist. It is just the three leads and Steve on the bass.

Yes Sir, i 'm in love with the second one (part)

Could have been another masterpiece of an instrumental song after so many years! Still, because I know what's coming, I go through the first part of the song just to get to the second part of the song :) This cut reminds me a bit of the song "Virus".

@@alex.t76 ... not from this world! I've been a Maiden fan since I was a kid and his solos only get better! I've heard them millions of times and it's still breathtaking.

Red symbolizes emotions and Black is the ego mind of thoughts that are blind to everything (as all thoughts are at surface level in either past/future in duality in the illusion of time, not unity/oneness - love). The only way of light/truth/spirit is to not think and not give into fear (emotions) and go deep within to activate all that is Within you (White = Light). .

It is amazing how Iron Maiden can provide so consistent high quality. Even in 2020's they are as good as ever.

Two words: *EPIC MASTERPIECE*

Nobody will again write such important and complete concept albums with such atmosphere like Somewhere in Time and Seventh son, with that super high-level musicianship and genius bass and guitar work (and no band introduced synthesizers into their music with such seamless genius as Maiden did on those 2 albums),, as the concepts of those albums are vital to every human being and Spirit- realizing the illusion of time, and seventh's son concept of realizing the illusion of duality,. The beauty and truths of 1984's " Powerslave" album with it's beautiful egyptian theme, and the striking messages that are right in the title track itself (Powerslave). How humans are slaves to death (in other words, slaves to the illusions of Time), therefore slaves to needing power or any control or judgment, the cause of all our deep inner separations, our greed and selfishness and total blindness, because of the Ego false-self. All of our problems come from our absolute stupidity of fear of death, as humans are totally separated from Truths of Spirit and Soul. The more one fears death, the more one is fearful of life and fearful of fully receiving and giving love. Truth is always paradoxical, as at the speed of light there is no time, it's the Eternal Now of presence. In other words no duality of Good and evil, but only "unity" consciousness of light of the infinite Oneness of the Universe, as you are the Universe ( it's not a coincidence that Maiden's new album has a song titled "Speed of Light"). And it's not a coincidence that "Somewhere in Time" was their next album after they produced one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time - Powerslave. And who else in heavy metal at the time had the courage to write long 14-minute masterpieces like Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to close out an album?? The answer is nobody else, only Maiden, because it was unheard of before that. And their new album, they just wrote an 18-minute masterpiece to close that album with most of the band over 60. Again, IN-tegrity. Nobody else had a 7-album run like Maiden's first 7 albums. Some bands may put out a couple nice albums in their prime and whisper away into the night, but Maiden put together 7 fantastic albums in a row. And the fact they put out so much great material of those 7 monumental albums in just an 8 year span is unfathomable. Magical. They don't write about meaningless sleaze as other bands do, with the exception of the song "22 Acacia Avenue" in their early days (although the end of that song does have a positive message), and the band said they regretted it, and why they very rarely play it live, even though it is a very good song and fans always ask them to play it live. Speaking of Live, their live albums are excellent. You simply cannot find bands with live albums that can approach Maidens live recordings, and in ways better than the studio albums, and that speaks volumes. And at 60 years of age and 40 years into their careers, they are still pumping out great new material. Unlike Metallica where their last 4 albums they were just looking for something to click with no purpose or direction, just poking around aimlessly, it's blatantly obvious. Just 15 years into Metallica's career they were long done producing shameful music with albums like Reload and St Anger. While Maiden, always progressing itself, yet staying true to their form and originality at the same time, 20+ years into their careers came out with a very good album 'Brave New world' . The band quietly laughing at anyone who thought they were done, with a nice tip of the hat to the legendary psychedelic medicine visionary Alduous Huxley. Many songs on that album like "Dream of Mirrors", and "Ghost of the Navigator" that metallica can't touch. If you want to see what a fraud Metallica has always been, a simple search for Grunge "Metallica's shadiest secrets" will do the trick. And years later, Iron Maiden 25 to 35 years into their careers wrote and produced so many great songs like "The Nomad", " Dance of Death", "The Red and the Black, "The Talisman", "If Eternity should fail", The Man who would be King", "Paschendale", "Brighter than a Thousands Suns", "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", "Lord of Light, Isle of Avalon", "The Legacy", "The Longest Day", "Montsegur", "Starblind"", "Out of the Shadows", "The Book of Souls", "Journeyman (and Journeyman being my personal Ayahuasca journey tribute song :-)" .... "Rainmaker", "Coming Home", "For the Greater Good of God", just to name a few songs that metallica hasn't come close to achieving in their mid to later years. Cliff Burton was the heart of Metallica and by far their best and most talented musician. Burton was to Metallica what Steve Harris is to Iron Maiden. Steve Harris is widely considered to be the best heavy metal bassist of all-time, and if Burton were still alive, he'd be right there with Harris, that's how good Burton was. Nobody in Metallica comes close to Burton's immense talent he had as a musician. When Burton passed away in 1986 Metallica went downhill as they lost their true backbone and juice. And they replaced him with mere hired guns to control, just a hired body to fill in, not to have as a real contributor. But let's face it, a major part of Metallica's popularity is just because of the label that they are an 'american band'. Metallica is always covering Maiden songs in their concerts, and they've played multiple Maiden songs in their concerts as Metallica was influenced by Iron Maiden (All you have to hear is Lars Ulrich grovel at Iron Maiden like a lost puppy during Maidens 2008 tour) . But you don't see Maiden covering Metallica songs. Because Maiden IS Maiden. Even if you split the band members into doing solo work, James Hetfield couldn't come close to writing such a beautiful solo album for himself as Bruce did with "The Chemical Wedding", and what a masterpiece album that is. Why don't more people know about Bruce's solo work? who knows, but people are missing out. One thing is for sure, there is so much more love and MYSTERY in Iron Maiden's music. And so much more meaning. And they always truly progressed. Not many people understand the deep Spiritual meanings in Iron Maiden's music, or understand the full concepts of their albums because they're quite deep, mysterious, wonderous, and absolutely magnificent. But once you grow Spiritually to higher levels of Consciousness, Maiden can bring you to weeping tears with their beauty and Truths in their music. Metallica doesn't have that depth, beauty, or power. Real Power is so much more than just playing fast and heavy. Iron Maiden is so much more than just a great heavy metal band, Maiden is much more than the music. As when it comes to the greatest in anything, there is always Much More than meets the eyes (and ears). Eye love you Iron Maiden!!. Gratitude !! Shanti OM . Namaste !

Maiden's "Piece of Mind" album cover from 1983 tells you everything. Eddie is nothing more than a metaphorical representation of the Ego mind, as who the person thinks they are and all their beliefs are total PRISONS. The mind knows nothing. As everything in society and religion is a lie, as it's all illuminati-government manufactured. Ask yourself, since when did the government buy the Earth for you to pay them so they can tell you how to live here ? Exactly, they never bought the earth, it's all a total sham. Satan (or devil) is nothing more than fancy word-play for he ego thinking mind, as all beliefs and all thoughts are outwardly ( not inwardly), therefore all thoughts and all beliefs are all lies and illusions. Don't forget to read the tombstone on Maiden's LIVE AFTER DEATH album cover from 1985 , death is total illusion. People miss that just as people miss the 3rd eye Pineal Gland that is depicted in detail just below the moonlight on Maidens "Somewhere in Time" album cover. Look at the top of the building just to the right under the moonlight. The pineal gland 3rd eye within you that you must activate - Spiritual Vision. Just as Eddie is stricken activating the 3rd eye Pineal gland on Live After Death's album cover. The pineal gland 3rd eye and our chakra system is all over the Powerslave album insert as well. Activating all 7 chakras within you ( via Entheogen plants) is the only way to Spiritual Ascension, as all religions since the first religion the Rig Veda of India come from Alchemy (Entheogens) , in other words, Shamanism. Hence why Bruce Dickinson speaks of that through his solo albums, for example his song " The Alchemist" ( which eye have uploaded on my YT channel). Nature is my church, and Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is my religion :-)

Harris es Dios

Amen!

Probobaly the same bass still after all these years

INDEED!!!! \o/

Only dave can do such magic tricks

Dave is the only member who appears on every album together with founder Steve. So Maiden has his strong influence .

I just noticed that. Not that it really matters but interesting. UP THE IRONS !!

Hahaha Apparently these are edited from a mishmash of different live performances of the same song.

Their staying power is ridiculous, unprecedented. There will never be another Maiden. Enjoy them while they are still with us!

They took good care of themselves

Quality? It is crap, happy go lucky "celtish crap riff", same shit they've reproduced on Senjutsu on various long shitty repetitive songs. 3:00 Bruce can't fucking sing, and it is Gers that does that ridiculous solo-melody-shit of main melody on Bruce, that fucking prick!

The first seal of Revelation...

Iron Maiden is a "Shamanic band" of infinite Truths and love and light. That nobody else can see and understand. Only UNLESS you have Be-come " it " and totally transformed your-Self to infinite Truths of Soul and Spirit in higher dimensions of consciousness can you possibly ever totally understand the beauty of Iron Maiden. Because, "If it's not Shamanic, it's not Organic. " Not many people have the ability to understand Iron Maiden, as most people live in the lies of duality of good and evil of the mind and are just walking "reactions", and lack the consciousness. But, Iron Maiden = Easily the greatest Heavy Metal band in music history. No band writes such depth in their lyrics of the overall human condition with such intelligence & wisdom, bringing light, combined with such beautiful depth, grace, and power in their music. Absolute masters of their craft and creativity. They are untouchable. All you have to do is read Bruce's published books to see these guys have tons of direct Spiritual experiences. These guys know truth and fully know and see right through the lies of society's game, and they see right through all the lies of Religion (and when I say religion I am talking about the lies churches teach, not true Spirituality, as spirituality and religion are nothing alike). Maiden is so much better than Metallica in so many ways. Much better musicians, better singer, far better songwriting. Much more melodic. More "pure" energy. Have almost twice the albums of Metallica, far more longevity and have so many more great songs, and Maiden never wrote a bad album ( you could say they had a sub-par album in the 90's, but remember that was with half the band missing doing their solo stuff). Metallica never really had much to say, while Maiden has so much to say that allow you to really question so many things. Maiden never sold out by producing garbage albums like Metallica's St Anger to appease popularity and the current music "trends" of society, that always pass away, are totally meaningless, and are fake anyways., And you definitely won't see Iron Maiden prostituting themselves in silly reality TV shows like Metallica and KISS have done for years. It's just not Maiden's style. They have absolutely no interest in being "celebrities", or any gossip/drama. Drawing attention away from them because as they said, the music is about much more than them. Which is why they have a mascot "eddie" on their album covers, so people focus on eddie and not the "images" of the band members. Having Eddie (which is just a representation of the blind ego-based mind) leaves them alone to be themselves and they don't have to have any fake image of being "rock stars". As Bruce once said, We can continue making music when we're old and ugly and just slap Eddie on the album cover and nobody will mind. And it is brilliant. Inner light doesn't need the spotlight. Maiden always stayed true and original. Always timeless. Eternal. Nobody sounds like them and nobody ever will. Nobody will again write such important and complete concept albums with such atmosphere like Somewhere in Time and Seventh son, with that super high-level musicianship and genius bass and guitar work (and no band introduced synthesizers into their music with such seamless genius as Maiden did on those 2 albums),, as the concepts of those albums are vital to every human being and Spirit- realizing the illusion of time, and seventh's son concept of realizing the illusion of duality,.

The more one fears death, the more one is fearful of life and fearful of fully receiving and giving love. Truth is always paradoxical, as at the speed of light there is no time, it's the Eternal Now of presence. In other words no duality of Good and evil, but only "unity" consciousness of light of the infinite Oneness of the Universe, as you are the Universe ( it's not a coincidence that Maiden's new album has a song titled "Speed of Light"). And it's not a coincidence that "Somewhere in Time" was their next album after they produced one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time - Powerslave.

Everyone go search youtube for- "" Blind Guardian, The Quest for Tanelorn", the one uploaded by Bhaimovich123. Rock music is Gods music. As on your Quest for Tanelorn (the infinite HEAVENS), you will ALWAYS lose your way ! As Reaching for the light is what creates all your darkness & blindness. Its ALL about going into your darkness. Truth is Always Paradoxical. You cannot enter the 5th dimension of Light unless you fully face ALL your 4th dimension darkness, as that's where all the teachings are. Your fake ego mind is always looking for something (as the mind lives in fear). The ego thinking mind is what the devil is, the talking snake is that voice in your head in which you identify yourself with. Always lying to yourself. Words like devil and satan are nothing more than fancy word play for thoughts and beliefs, as all beliefs of the ego mind are lies, as all beliefs DENY direct spiritual experiences ( as beliefs are PRISONS of the mind). Everything and more is in the absolute nothing. Time is total illusion. At the speed of Light time does not exist (nothing) and the Light is everything. Beliefs or viewpoints or perspectives are not allowed in the Heavenly realms. As beliefs are all about Control rooted in fear. And control and fear cannot exist in the Heavenly realms high frequency vibrations, therefore all beliefs are nothing more than Ego-attachments and nothing else (darkness). You create all your hells that are within you ( Hell is not some outwardly place that the countless lies of christianity tells you). That's why christians are the most aggressive to any ideas of going deep within via the sacred divine power plants like Ayahuasca, because christians have the most darkness within them, the most lies within them, the most self hatred within them, the most hostility within them, the most hells within them. Hence why nobody sees this magical mother earth darker than christians do, as it's only a reflection of the darkness within them. There is no time in the heavenly realms. Eternity is always the infinite NOW. Not in the future as the blind ego mind thinks. Beliefs (something) is armor, and is not allowed in the heavens. Your beliefs ( no matter what they are) are exactly what your demons are. And christians have the darkest beliefs, as nothing is darker than christian ideologies, so obviously christians are the darkest. Its not rocket science, just look around at christian demons always threatening other people with " THE End is Near !!". Always fear monger people with Hell, the devil will get you , and threatening people with the illusion of time. LOL !! If you cannot see that christianity is the darkest and most disgusting ideologies in the infinite Universe, then my friend, you have tons and tons of hard inner work you need to do and face with Ayahuasca. Christians threaten people with hell the most because christians have the most hells and darkness within them, which is why nobody sees this magical Mother Earth darker than christians do. Truth is Always paradoxical. Again, your beliefs are exactly what your demons are, as beliefs are Armor/darkness/Control. And the infinite heavenly realms it's infinite Nakedness ( no masks/armor/beliefs/control are allowed). As you are a total illusion. All beliefs destroy consciousness and consciousness is the ONLY food for the soul, therefore religion will keep you away from Soul (God) more than anything, as religion is total bullshit and hypocrisy, and has absolutely nothing to do with True Spirituality and Direct Spiritual Experiences whatsoever. And not in any way, shape or form. Religion is 100% useless and worthless and will turn you into a control-driven dividing demonic lunatic. For example - According to sick christian idiots, over One BILLION beautiful people in India are all going to burn forever in a fiery pit somewhere since they dont give a crap about jesus or that pathetic bible. That's total madness and insanity, and demonic vile hatred of life. Christianity is the very definition of Spiritual Wickedness. Christians are BY FAR the darkest creatures not only on this magical Mother Earth, but christians are the darkest demonic creatures in the infinite multi-dimensional Universe of infinite worlds of infinite beings. They absolutely hate and will demonize anyone and everything and everyone that doesn't worship their totally fake and dark religion of lies and total self- disgust. Just as no group of people in Earth demonized Heavy Metal music as christians do . Who else of all the different cultures around the world demonized heavy metal ? The answer is nobody else, only christians. As christians will demonize and hate everything that does not worship their fake religion full of lies. Hence why christians are by far the biggest mass murderers in human history through today. If you think otherwise its because your fake society and fake government' written textbooks at your schools and fake churches have totally brainwashed you since birth. As christians will hate and kill and maim anything and anyone in their destructive path who does not worship their disgusting religion. Michael Sherlock said it best when he said- " Christianity did not become a major religion for it's quality of truth, but because of it's quantity of Violence." And it's the total truth, as that pathetic bible has caused more suffering and hate and violence than anything else that exists in the infinite multi dimensional Universe. Nothing is darker than christianity. Hence why christians have killed more people and destroyed Nature on this planet than ALL of other religions COMBINED ( and many times over), through human history. Beliefs totally destroy people with their stupid need for victory , hence why you see christian demonic monsters shouting - "Victory in jesus' name !" ( Control, War, dividing, Ego !!). When in reality there is nothing to win, and there never was. Because people can't see their beliefs, their beliefs tell them what they see, hence why all beliefs of the Ego-mind lead to darkness and blindness. As all is One in reality, but all beliefs divide ( therefore all beliefs are total lies and illusions). The truth is, the christian believers control absolutely nothing but their own sad and pathetic demise, in ultimate reality. Spiritual Master Carl Jung said it best when he said - "Consciousness does not come without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become Enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." :-)

Brainwashed religious fanatics like christians have always told other people that Rock and Heavy Metal music is "Evil". But what isn't "evil" to them ? EVERYTHING is "evil" to them because they will DEMONIZE everything, anyone, and everyone that does not worship their fake religion full of lies. They will demonize everything they do not understand, and they understand NOTHING, therefore they will demonize EVERYTHING ( including YOU if you question them on their stupid beliefs that they need to protect - as darkness PROTECTS in their illusions of the blind Ego-mind). As they have no depth whatsoever, which is why they cannot understand anything. as they're always at the surface of images of their blind ego-mind of silly beliefs. They're Totally SHALLOW in their DARKNESS and their total self hatred. So they DEMONIZE everything and hate everything and hate the world, and hate all of nature, they have absolutely NO PRESENCE!!, They hate the Earth like no other, as its a reflection of their Self hatred.. in their cold and closed inner prisons of endless Bondage and hells within them. But the Divine Truth is, Heavy Metal and Rock music is a divine creation of the infinite intelligence of the Universe of Spirit and Nature, to wake humanity up, hence why it's LOUD and Screaming ! Heavy Metal and Rock music started out as being the "REBEL" music of society and birthed during the psychedelic (sacred divine plants) era of the 1960's. As EVERYTHING in human society is a LIE (even your American holidays are ALL totally fake man-made lies, as humans are stupid enough to believe christmas has something to do with a persons birthday, search "America's occult holidays" to see the total sham of it all).. And since Rock music and Heavy Metal is the Rebel of society, and EVERYTHING in Human western society is a LIE, then OBVIOUSLY there will be far FAR more Truths in Heavy Metal. Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is absolutely LOADED with infinite Spiritual Truths that the ego-based mind is afraid to see and afraid to understand. There is NO genre of music on the planet that "ASKS" so many deep questions as heavy metal and rock music. And that's why christian idiots have to label it as "evil" , as they have absolutely no answers to anything, therefore they HATE any deep questions ! Because they hate themselves. Listen to rock bands that speak about the illusion of time, and alchemy of sacred divine plants, And speak also your divine 7-chakras in their songs. As well as talking about the countless lies of the "I" as who you think you are is total illusion (just as Corrosion of conformity does so well through their discography). Those 4 things are vital, and when you do you will find beautiful Spiritual music from bands like Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Death, Testament, Epica, Amenra, Isis, Dio, Neurosis (very special band !!), and Tool, Black Sabbath, and Queensryche (and many more), as well as softer magical bands like Pink Floyd and Neil Young etc, that is speaking to Soul (not the ego-mind) ;-) . Fake 'party" bands like the van halen's and the ac/dc's of the world cannot touch these bands. And stay away from "Nu metal" bands and 'commercial bands like the Limp Bizkit's of the world and the Papa Roach's of the world. It's total society garbage about the blind ego-mind, or about labeling and blaming (like pathetic pop diva's and eminem who are always labeling and blaming in stupidity of victim consciousness), and "victim consciousness" nonsense that doesn't serve you in any way. < 3 A band like "Blind Guardian" for example is loaded with beautiful Spiritual truths in their music catalog. It's very deep so you have to look beyond what people tell you what the songs mean. Don't follow "labels" of what other people say the songs mean as the mind can only label things at the surface of images and is blind, as these songs all mean YOU in many deep ways that the left-brain thinking ego mind of thought cannot see or understand. In one of my Ayahuasca ceremonies after total surrender of the ego as I surpassed the illusions of death, eye was given the sword of light from the Universe. The sword of Light came through me in magical beauty as I was downloaded massive amounts of knowledge love and wisdom through my heart chakra. This magical sword is far beyond how you see a sword in a picture in the illusions of images as this sword is multi-dimensional as I became "one" with the sword, the sword was me and I was the sword, as ONE in infinite beauty and magic in the 5th dimension of Consciousness. The sword of Light is only to be used for love and light and becoming in full awareness of my Soul purposes and missions on this planet to help awaken humanity out of the countless illusions of human society. Not a sword that can ever be used to harm anyone or anything. And through that experience I was taken back to Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond" album that I listened to as a young man in the early 1990's, and Mother Ayahuasca showed me that Blind Guardian album cover and she said to me: " You see Robert, You have always been one of the chosen ones of Light, and you will always be one of the chosen ones of Light" .. and she showed me what a sword really means (that has absolutely nothing to do with what silly humans think a sword means as the blind human mind takes everything beautiful and sacred and twists it in countless lies).. Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond" album cover is an Ayahuasca circle, with the Shaman playing Ayahuasca icaro's at the top through some kind of flute in the shape of an Ayahuasca vine on his chest, the flute at the bottom pointing to the light at the center of the circle. And he's elevated above everyone else sitting on a stool and wearing a crown (not just a hood like the others). And he also has a condor sitting on his shoulder (the highest flying bird that also has the ability to shift between Spiritual dimensions). In Ayahuasca art you will see the condor depicted quite often, and for infinite good reasons. Ayahuasca is the oldest and purest, and is by far the most effective form of Spiritual practice on the planet. Nothing could be more obvious as you listen to that album ;-) I so clearly remember as a child listening to heavy metal during the 1980's, & entire worlds opened up for me, bands such as Iron Maiden, Testament, Sabbath, Dio, and other great bands such as "Death" and Queensryche ( "Roads To Madness" by Queensryche for example is an Eternal Spiritual Truths classic), etc. A little later on in the early 1990's I got into the beauty of Blind Guardian with their beautiful album 'Somewhere Far Beyond". So many beautiful things that fake bands like ac/dc could never come close to offering. I never understood when people would tell me that Heavy Metal music is far too heavy to get into and too overwhelming. I always laughed, since I was a child, how people would tell me that this isn't music, but only loud cannons firing. I ALWAYS laughed as they tried so hard to sway me, but could never sway me an inch. From family members to friends to pathetic pastors in churches (and let me tell you that you will NEVER find more fake people on the planet than fear-monger pastors and priests in churches), as nobody hates our beautiful Mother Earth and Nature and divides people's more with hatred than pastors in churches, and they mostly hate themselves. And I never once cared for their blind and pathetic opinions, I always laughed hysterically inside. I always laughed hysterically how they couldn't "get it." . Because to me, when listening to heavy metal, it was always a blissful sweet symphony of beauty !! For me, it was always so soft, and wonderful, so welcoming, and Magical !! I feel so sorry for the humans that have no capability to ever understand the beauty of real heavy metal music, because heavy metal has so many beautiful Spiritual messages from the infinite Universe that the blind ego-based mind of duality is afraid to see, and afraid to understand. Mother Ayahuasca showed me in infinite ways how Heavy Metal music was so vital and so beautiful in so many magical ways for my Spiritual growth. And this magical band of beauty, Blind Guardian, was absolutely Massive and monumental for my Spiritual journey of the Universe of be-ing and infinite truths of beauty of Light and Spirit. ;-) .. Mother Ayahuasca showed me how my Soul always chose the right bands and the right music, far beyond my mind. Intuitively I knew it all along... but my goodness Mother Ayahuasca showed me so many deep Spiritual truths in deeper ways of infinite understandings of Spirit, that the blind ego-mind that lives in the illusion of time and the illusions of duality, is totally incapable of understanding..
