I love this song!. I love Blaze!!!! he´s fantastic

LOOK AT THEM, the most explosive, electrifying, obsessive performance ever....Theese guys are the best, and they will hold the throne forever, and NOBODY sings this better than Blaze, NOBODY !!!!

It´s songs like this, the underrated, never played live, unknown, the hidden jewels that instantly grabs my heart and attention, their greatest hits never comes this close to my heart....this is a GOLDEN GEM, please don´t let it fade away !!

One of the greatest songs. Great energy

this was the first heavy metal song i ever heard...

Great BLAZE'S very dark presence and voice, the x factor and virtual Xi my fovorit lp in Iron Maiden history after two debut album on Paoul Di'anno

hey everybody its time to listen to this piece of art or the cure of this Corona virus

I love this song, I love Maiden and I can´t EVER forgive myself for not being at an show during the Blaze era, and NOBODY sings this better than Blaze, NOBODY !!!

THIS is the definition of metal, Iron Maiden UNLEASHED .......SPELLBINDING !!!!

Damn right. The X-factor is a masterpiece itself. I mean to fill Dickinsons shoes is impossible. But damn, he did a great job. awesome album :D

what a pleasure to listen to this, I can feel the power of Maiden !!!!!! Come on men we have to respect Baily too!!!!! X factor is refined!

WOW, I´m lost for words !! I NEVER thought I would see this unique jewel in their discography performed with live footage !! I love the song, I love the Maiden, and the power of Blaze´s voice makes it Absolutely Fu---ing Magnificent !!!!

GUYS listen to the punchy music, thunderous drums, excellent bass line, guitar harmonies, solos, and the power of Blaze´s voice, THEN listen to the lyrics.....if this isn´t a golden gem, tell me what is ???

¡Qué joya de video! Gracias.

think of it this song has two most fantastic riffs and most amazing chorus near the end , which other song can top that?

from number of the beast to this.....

Punchy, thrilling, haunting from the first note !!! This really crawl into your bum, up your spine and spark your brain to space !!!

I love this song, blaze are a great singer.

so fucking heroic vibes from the songs of x factor,for me x factor its very close to other great maiden albums

Woo Virus, without the epilepsy-inducing video work that you see on the Visions of the Beast DVD.

i love this song

this is so much pleasure !!!! Maiden is GOD!

Couldnt agree any more with you!

this is really great song. if only i would hear it with bruce!!

Ought to be been an A-side song! Awesome

maiden i love you so much

Great video! 🔥

Great song!!!

Paul is good in a few songs. My favorite paul song is purgatory. Only he can sing that one. But I like Bruce and Blaze more.

Very heavy song

Watching beginnings of social decay...

that's the official video. the one on the official MAIDEN youtube page is uncut shit shot in the Harris'pool. shame, that it's not complete video

bellissima canzone 😉 👍 Up the irons

Of Course!

This song rules like all of Maiden songs.

Don't be so closeminded, if Bruce left Iron, it was his idea, Blaze just did his best, it was great, don't compare them, don't be stupid, all Iron song are great, diferent, enjoy the 3 singers, Paul, Bruce, Blaze, they made their best, I like 3 of them, and Virus is a great song...

Dianno, Dickinson, and Bayley kick ass!!!! (Random thought: In a way Blaze looks like Jack Black, lol It's not a bad thing and I'm not insulting him) IRON MAIDEN RULES!!!!! \m/

and many pics from Donington 93 too

Awesome!!

It's back, I love this Maiden video. I've noticed some errors, there's a bit at the very end of the solo where it's suppose to be Dave, and infact it's Adrian. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the Evil that Men Do and you'll know what I mean about this Video.

That is very true.

And a lot of the other songs.. Just Blaze! I mean the songs of his era!

Wow

Fucking awesome. 2:03 and on is an eternally beautiful riff.

God Bless Blaze! He took so much criticism when being compared to Bruce Dickinson. But he's such a great singer.

Охоенееееть

omfg this song pumps me up so hard i fucking love it UP THE IRONS \m/

This is the video version that they should have put into the "visions of the beast" dvd, instead the poor one that they did finally use for the dvd.

Power

Hi! I love this song! But Bruce is THE BEST SINGER EVER!!! Thanks!!!:)))

I think it would be great to have Blaze singing the main and Bruce doing the high pitched backing vocals in this song. That'd be nice, yet obviously impossible.

Very good video! one of Blaze's best, but.. Hallowed be thy name, ftw :D

BLAZE ROCKS!

3:02 the best

this is not the full song. This does not do it justice! look up the full video it is 6:13 its worth it!

😎🤘🤘

In Blaze we trust !!!

And Man on the edge

Formidable and sad song showing us the true about the world! They want to wake up us against the Sionist in 1996. Always in my top songs. Up the Irons!

Coronavirus 2020

I dedicated this song to coronavirus!!!

fuckin cool man

this also has the clip from them playin in take your daughter to the slaughter, i think

Ah! i C there are some images taken from The Evil That men Do Video Clip right?? i've noticed that also! seeig nicko with that 1988 white clothes tht he used in that show in UK.

They should re-release The X-Factor with this song on it. I want to have this song but I don't want to buy the Best Of The Beast just for it.

you cant compare bruce and bayle they are unique vocals and equally good.

Ken's Theme from Street Fighter II?!

@TooBadiDidntGetShot erm..in the beginning maiden was a band with more punk influences..because he classical way of metal wasn't even invented..but listen to songs like "iron maiden"..the drums, the guitars..everything has influences of punk;) but however, fuckin great band :) lookin forward to see them at wacken open air..*nearly two months* :>:>

oh well, just a second part of the song. i guest this is that other shortened version, or i may be wrong. anyway; VIRUS ROCKS!!!

Blaze did GREAT job and imo Bruce will destroy it.

paul was better than blaze. And I mean was, because paul is bad nowadays. But his work on killers and iron maiden was great. Earned them many fans too. PS: lovely song, way better without the intro

Great song! Blaze wasn't that bad in Maiden as everybody says. Okay, he can't beat Bruce, but they really made some great songs in that period. Futureal, Man on the Edge, Futureal, The Clansman, Lightning Strikes Twice & Virus, to name a few. Virtual XI is also much better than the X-Factor in my opinion.

Best of the Beast Album, Virus isn't on any Maiden Studio Album.

1:48 !! :D:D

Xfactor wouldnt have been half as good with bruce, They made the xfactor to swerve away from the monotomy of their previous albums, Also bruce wouldn't be able to hit the low notes on the album and would greatly atke away from the dark mood of the album with his generally happy voice,

Shit.. Iron Maiden's set list is always the same shit.. Why doesnt Steve harris fukin put this amazing song live? Damn

Wait, are you saying that Iron Maiden on X Factor and Virtual XI was as good as Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Fear of the Dark, or even Brave New World?

maybe another maiden song? lol i dont know maiden rules though!!!!

witch album did this come from...never heard of it??

lol

@tinman1708 I think that Spongebob would sound better than Mickey !! XD

@MultipleScrotum Yeah!! !!!!!! lml!!

hy wo war Bruce hatte der Uhrlaub hihi

eugostoderock

i definately prefer bruce as a singer but only blaze can do this song

wtf!? this ain't heavy metal! Its pure hardrock!!

without the 2:30 long itrno.... way better!

This is fake, obviously, it’s never been performed but it should be. Love it when seeing blaze live and he performs it with the lads from absolva

You have Metallica in your username. Any opinion on music of your is instantly invalidated by that. All Iron Maiden kicks ass. Would you prefer they had broken up?

x factor sucks!! but virtual xi is one of the best iron m. album!! i love you blaze!!!

one of the guys most wronged of heavy metal

this is great but but bruces solo career was better...iron maiden made the best of what they had with bailey and it was still great but maiden truly lies with the air raid siren himself=bruce

I don't think they're equally good, not to diss Blaze or anything, but Bruce has a much better range and is much better live than Blaze was, particularly when getting the crowd pumped. Still, Blaze was probably better than Paul and is a great vocalist in his own right.

cheesy

aguante iron maiden virussssssssssssss xDDD como mi pc llena de virus xDDDDD¡¡¡¡ aguante mi banda ojala q se pasen por bolivia no por peru donde tan los serranasos de peru :S

how is paul better? less range, less power, less stage presence, i mean compared to bayley without pins in his legs oviously, wasnt as good a songwriter and didnt fit maiden and hes more generic,
