The Earth is 4.5 billion years old...... yet we actually managed to live in the era of Iron Maiden!  Congratulations to all!

When I was six years old, I went on a vacation in Italy with my parents where we visited this street market. Being a boy, I was into monsters and other obscure stuff, so as soon as I saw a t-shirt with Eddie the Monster at the market, I had to get me one, not having a clue what Iron Maiden even was.

My dad told me about these guys being this crazy rock ‘n roll band that thrashed hotels on world tours and stuff, and I just thought it sounded so cool.

Shortly after we returned home, my dad bought me the Powerslave album for my seventh birthday. I’d only listened to kid’s music up until that point, so this was my first actual CD. As soon as Aces High started playing on the little stereo in my room, I was hooked. It just completely blew me away. The sound, the tempo, Bruce’s vocals. I fell deeply in love with it.

My dad traveled a lot with work, so he’d always bring home gifts for my mom and I. One time he’d bought me the full Rock In Rio VHS box (which I still have to this day by the way), and hearing the iconic live version of this song on that tape is something that I’ll never ever forget.

I’ve gone through a lot of phases in my 27 years and listened to a whole lot of different music, but I never ever stopped listening to Iron Maiden. It’s weird to see them getting old even though they still sound just as amazing as they did 20- or even more years ago.

As I see a lot of people saying in the comments, even though we’ll have to face the fact that these guys will be gone one day, they will live on in our hearts and memories forever. This kind of music is not to be forgotten, and though I might be far younger than a lot of Iron Maiden fans, I’m proud to say that I’ll be happy to make sure their legacy is passed on to generations to come.

Long live Maiden.

you wont see any rapper performing at age of 70 with such energy !
best band ever... always will be

Fear of the dark is one of those songs that never get old. I could listen to a hundred versions and covers. But Iron Maiden live performances are the best there are.

Dave Murray always looks like he is the happiest man ever

Am I the only one is getting sad for being them getting old, and afraid of loosing them!! :'( Long live maidens! One of the best band of all time! ;)

if you are listening to this great song you are living legend.

Anyone 2025? ❤️2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣🥳 Anyone 2026? ❤2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣🥳

It’s amazing how they still preform it just proves you can never be “too old”

Эпично, когда ты  работаешь электромонтером и ранним осенним утром чинишь свет в своем цеху под эту песню в наушниках.

یہ گانا ان تمام سالوں کے بعد بھی سننے والا حیرت انگیز ہے۔ مجھے ایک فوبیا ہے!!

this is the best version of the song . the vocal is unbelievable

Bruce is sounding phenomenal in these recent performances.

Oh my God..these guys are not getting old...its 2021 baby...salute from Philippines 🇵🇭

Still listening to this in 2019 Who wit me?

i was talking to my friends the other day and we were discussing wich one of the concerts we have attended that were the best we have been to, and we all concluded that this Maiden concert at Tele2 was the best one either of us had ever been to.  I feel so privileged that at 28years old( currently 32) have had the luxury of experincing Iron Maiden in this present time and also when according to my opinion were and still are one of the best live act STILL at this age. You can really feel the love and passion between the Band and crowd. Its undisputed that Iron Maiden still Loves to perform and cares about their fans  which make up for an amazing experience. its an unexplainable bond that cant be described with words but has to be seen. Sorry for long post #nohomo

One of the greatest live bands of all time.

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

Раньше песни создавали на века. А сейчас песни одного дня, даже одного часа.

it helps hearing a song that i think starts to explain PTSD
