40 Years Later: Why Live After Death Continues To Inspire Me

[@ghastlynavigator]

I was 7 years old when my teenage brother told me to come in the living room and watch this concert with him. I think it was live on pay per view at the time. It was Live after Death and I have been a hard-core fan ever since then. Iron Maiden is life and as important to me as family. UP THE IRONS 🤘

[@drop830]

"Scream for me long beach!"

[@rodrigoaltaf983]

I got this album upon release, and still listen to it regularly. The absolute BEST live album of all time!

[@sjbelias]

I bought this in high school along with the vhs tape of the concert!!! It was and still takes me back when I listen to it….they were at their absolute Zenith at that point -they were THE Supergroup!

[@moodlefyful]

The first heavy metal album I ever bought on double cassette..still have it to this day....one of the greatest live albums with one of the greatest covers ever.

[@Alex5erna]

If I could only choose one Iron Maiden album (between live and studio albums), I would choose this one.

[@CraigA.Carroll]

I love the entire album, my favorite is how awesome Phantom of the Opera sounds vs. the studio version. It’s a powerhouse live. The way you explained everything was perfect too. Niko lives across the bridge from me I hope I can meet him one day🤘🥁

[@Rendclaw]

Phantom of the Opera and Sanctuary wer perfectly done. I liked that they slowed the tempo down on both song, and in doing so gave the songs a LOT more impact.

[@mrmetal1276]

@@CraigA.Carroll the Hammersmith odean are all great 👍

[@filteredjc4653]

I used to play along to this all the time, great performances, fantastic energy, its great

[@ianfurqueron5850]

I have all three audio versions -Vinyl, cassette and CD, plus the VHS video. IIRC, the cassette version is the longest at over 100 minutes. I used to play this cassette in my truck as we drove to shows. There are variations to some of the songs as well. I still listen to the CD in the car during long drives. So many great songs... but if I had to pick one, probably Flight of Icarus.

[@fitzy2912]

I got this on VHS from my cousin when I was about 10. Watched it until the tape wore out! I thought Adrian Smith looked like the coolest guy on Earth, and recently managed to get a gold top Les Paul, purely because of him!

[@iakirov]

Live After Death... So much can be told about this quintessential piece of Metal majesticity. To me it was also the event that sealed my devotion to Iron Maiden, the overall speed in the playing was stunning for me, compared to what I knew of them at the time. Churchill's speech just followed by the initial riff of Aces High, then those frantic guitars, that perfectly placed dive; later, 2MTM interlude; Revelations as a whole (it was my first time listening to that); Flight of Icarus is emblematic to me here; Rime is mesmerizing and I still can't help that when the Albatross sinks like lead into the sea, then down in falls come my tears also... 40 years later. No matter when nor where, every time when the bell begins to chime, I know it's time for me to surrender to the awesome. Also, I can leave out the powerful moody Children of the Damned, Bruce's performance is otherworldly, one of my favs is 22, with Dave's bluesy solo, and it was also to me, first time listening to Wrathchild and Phantom of the Opera, the strong in-your-face-ness of the first and the guitars play in the second, plus Bruce's singing are everything a young boy and the man he turned into would ever need to stand this world. LAD also cemented my love for live recordings as a mean to really know what a band is capable of.

[@creanyo]

Same for me. It was my first live album. I was amazed at how the show was performed. Reason why I am a musician too. Damn!!. I will put it on play right away! :)

[@barehumantribe8095]

Aged 11 when I first heard this - totally changed my life too 🙌

[@squashvids1032]

Yes, I also played along with Dave and Adrian trying to emulate their guitar parts as close as possible! LAD was the last (and best?) recording of that classic 80's Marshall raw Maiden sound before they started using Gallien Krueger amps in Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

[@vladpandur1274]

Totally with you on that part in Revelations! I would also add that it's quite special seeing Bruce play the clean guitar part.

[@MrDeengels]

I can’t tell you how many times I listened to this album.

[@gerryiannuzzi5122]

I took my little brother to see them this tour in NYC they played Radio City Music Hall. I was a senior in college at the time. That tour, Bruce got sick and they had to cancel some of the 5 nights they had booked. I’m 63 now and I have trouble remembering all the details. I do remember being thankful we had tickets to the first show so we were fortunate. It was the first time I saw them without Paul and I was quite entertained by the new long haired, hyper active lead singer. Is that a new tattoo on your right arm? Or did I just notice it. I would love to hear your analysis of Rime of the Ancient Mariner

[@jeremytassin7978]

I have two moments that stick with me. The first is when Bruce takes Dave on his shoulders. The other one is when they play Hallowed Be Thy Name, the way Dave and Adrian go up their stand to reprise the final harmony. I love this.

[@Bateleur13]

Such a fantastic album. I listened to that album so many times!

[@djuraninivan]

Yes, this one is very special to me. I'm from Serbia. I bought this LP in 1994; at that time, Serbia had crazy inflation. But I just had to have that LP. I remember my father writing me a check, and it was almost his monthly salary. My mother told me that if we didn't have money to buy food, I would eat that LP...I've been eating it song by song ever since 😀 Thanks Nico!

[@pjerooo]

Just letting you know that we do want that Rime of the Ancient Mariner analysis \m/ \m/

[@ldtriplesix]

Run to the Hills is my favorite chorus of all time. It’s absolutely perfect. 🤘

[@wizaxed]

I wore out this cassette tape back in high school!!! SCREAM FOR ME LONG BEACH!!!!! "And the moral of this story is this is what not to do if a bird shits on ya.." So many iconic performances on this record! I wore this out as well as Tribute with Ozzy and Randy. I miss the old days! \m/

[@peterk4626]

This was my first intro to Maiden, and they've been with me ever since 👍👍. The build up after the quiet middle of Mariner and Bruces vocals still gets max volume in my car. I'd love to see you break that performance down 👍

[@minask5281]

My favourite live album. It transcends time and space. I agree with everything you said. I have to add this moment though: "Los Angeles, can you feel it?" I get goose bumps every single time, still to this day, over 30 years after I first heard it.

[@svarun5215]

I love how on the fast harmony in Runnig Free - Dave plays a descending legato triplets through the whole neck while Adrian plays everything with the pick in the box position and again the harmony blends perfectly.

[@tanktuba]

Great video Nico. Live After Death is my favorite live album by any band. The 1st time I saw Maiden was in '85 in San Francisco, a few days after they recorded LAD. 40 years later I still get goosebumps when the Churchill intro starts. It's the high water mark of concerts I've seen.

[@RonnieLopez-vj4ou]

That dive bar is absolutely iconic! That Live album has so many of those moments.

[@JulioSerrano2015]

I always say that if I have to choose only one album to listen for the rest of my life, it would be LAD. I got it as a present in Christmas day of 1987! BEST live album in rock history!! 🥲 Best moments for me: Intro Churchill/Aces High, Flight of Icarus, Powerslave!!, when the band enters for guitar solos in Rhyme of the ancient mariner, all the bass and drums in Running Free, also the guitar solo on 22 Acacia Av, and Die with your boots on (a really cool closer!). Thanks for sharing your memories!! 😎

[@Rendclaw]

I was such a fan of Powerslave (my gateway album into metal), I was absolutely jazzed when I came over my best friend's house and he pulled this bad boy out. I was just floored and blown away by the quality of the live production, shout out to and RIP Martin Birch. And as good as the album was, the live video was actually better. It was as if the band knew when to pull out their very best performances. There were so many great performative moments by the band, both individually and as a unit that I have always believed that this is the best live album of all time. I have heard several others through the years, such as UFO's seminal Strangers in the Night or Scorpions World Wide Live, but as great as those albums are, they come up just a little bit short. To this day, every time I play my "Time to Get Going" playlist on shuffle and the LAD video version of Flight of Icarus comes on, whether I'm in my own car or in my work car, I crank that shit up as loud as I can stand it and I sing at the top of my lungs while aping Dave and Adrian's guitar parts. It hypes me up big time. I look forward to your full breakdown of this album, Nico, and by all means, go as far as you feel you need to! I'm here for it!

[@fidem15893]

I buyed this record in a record store and the owner was a man in his 70s and he made a strange face looking at the cover😂. Unforgettable moment.🤟

[@desross2002]

😂😂😂😂

[@IronDemon89]

Bruce's Smirk looking at the audience right after Aces High before launching into 2 Minutes to midnight. He looks so proud and excited to be performing for the audience. Daves final held note on the 2nd flight of icarus solo before the crash ending. Really comes alive here. Running Free is a totally different song here, and its the perfect concert ender. Always one of my favorite live renditions of the song

[@madmike4622]

I’ve still got original vinyl 🎸🎸🎸

[@sfugid]

My favorite Live After Death moment would be that bend-release that Dave Murray does at the end of his Powerslave solo(at aprox 3:39 in the Long Beach Arena video)..its so good gives you goosebumps I also love the harmony in thirds that they make in Hallowed be thy Name on that riff after the solos(at aprox 5:35 in their video) But I would still claim that the "Beast over Hammersmith - 1982" is their best overall perfomance, the band seemed tighter and heavier with Clive on the drums and Bruce's original voice was still at its peak, not yet destroyed by the World Slavery Tour

[@erkadevil]

Fantastic album, Powerslave was the first album I got with Maiden, but when this came out…. Wow. I loved the sound so much more, in particular the guitar mix as you point out yourself. For the first time I could get who played what. It took a few years more before I watched the movie and that was even more incredible. I loved all the highlights you point out, favorite moment is without a doubt Powerslave fire. But Id also like to add, the instrumental part before the breakdown in RotAM. As well as the breakdown, so cool when they lower the lighting rig and all the smoke on the floor. And also the part in hallowed when Dave and Adrian climb up on the back. And also big Eddie of course. This was fantastic. ❤ And also thanks for your great videos ❤

[@user-ft4jo8ev1v]

Yes, please make a video about the Rime of the Ancient Mariner performance! Just amazing.

[@Aurainmaker]

There's so much fire in the way they play on this. It's not that they're playing messily, but they're intentionally not clean. They're playing with raw passion, skill, energy. You are right, they know that they're on the top of the world at that moment and they are playing like it. You can see how this album inspired so many generations to come. Tobias Forge says this album made him want to be a touring musician, and while the music is so different, you can see that Ghost's live show is inspired by this album. As for favourite bits... #1 has to be obvious? "This is what not to do... if your bird... shits on you!" and that powerful opening. #2 Revelations. #3 ALL OF IT!

[@cbr9914]

the vhs live after death was pretty much where i got hooked on maiden. a pal loaned me the cassette and i instantly noticed that bruce wasn't singing very well on the vhs. but i love these releases as a kid. as an adult, i can totally hear where all the vocal overdubs are. the sheer velocity of the performances and perfect mix are the standouts for me.

[@Jacobin777]

I saw them twice on that tour. Once in December 1984 with Twisted Sister opening up and once in summer 1985 with Accept opening up. I still remember both shows..even after 4 decades. 😊

[@lee-v5z6l]

The ultimate live metal video Nico , unsurpassed, and was breathtaking. Like you my fave moment was them coming out of the slow section of Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner to the storm - still gives me goosebumps. I wish they had filmed Hammersmith as they sounded incredible. Please do a Live After Death version of Phantom 🤞

[@jeremytassin7978]

What i absolutely love in this concert is the guitar tone. It's my favourite one they've ever had.

[@UltraPvnk]

As a kid, the artwork was what made me curious about the band. But it was Donington the one I purchased and my first Maiden album.

[@bloodbornehunter9974]

The fact that the stage lightings moves during the concert.... amazing. Overall best Live album ever

[@mrmetal1276]

Scream for me Long Beach!!! Best live album ever I was 13 in 85 and this changed everything for me.

[@RSGuitars]

One of my first albums, enjoyed watching this live concert on MTV back when they played music. Also had the Live After Death door poster! And thanks for showing the Lado Earth.

[@chungaleta1234]

Same here, that album changed my life, actually that was the moment when I decided to leave everything behind and be a musician. My favourite moment was reading the linear notes on all the gear used during the tour, with brands and equipment that I had no idea about at that time. That was the perfect way to let everybody know they were witnessing one the major events in human history. I was so impressed!!!!

[@anthonymcgill8035]

Was just listening to this album on my way to work yesterday. Just timeless, man. How we consumed and lived with the music back in the 80’s is probably the biggest thing I miss. Especially if you were trying to learn riffs and licks. Cool memories.

[@nick_daz]

Right there with you! I was already a big Maiden/Adrian fan but it all changed on December 21, 1984. My mind was blown away as a young 15 year old guitarist. I still get chills thinking or listing to that album!! Shortly after my dad me my 1st real guitar, Kramer Focus 1000 and absolutely, I would mute Adrian side (left) and play along with Dave...instill do lol My memorable memories from that show is everything pretty much!! The opening! The stage The lighting The lights moving! The different backdrops The energy Steve running all over the stage Dave's guitar Solo Dave on Bruce's shoulders The climatic point in ROTAM Dave and Adrian on top of each side of Nicko during the harmony in Hallowed be thy Name Wondering were Bruce was sinning from during the 1st verse of Powerslave then appeared from behind the flames!! Eddie during Powerslave The giant Eddie in Iron Maiden Bruce engaging the crowd during Running Free And of course eyes glued on Adrian! That whole concert jist blew me away! I feel so greatful I was able to experience it live. Also greatful that I was able to bring my kids this past tour and see them with Nicko. Up the Irons! Forever ⚒️

[@jimmyr204]

An absolute classic! I remember the day I bought the cassette at the mall. Wore out multiple copies. If I ever had a time machine, I’d travel back to Long Beach Arena…

[@OSBA71]

This is my overall favorite IM album. It was also my very first IM album that I bought with my own money. I saw that cover and I fell in love with it (it's also my favorite IM cover). When I was in high school my buddy told me how awesome IM was, but I had never heard it. I was in KMart with my mom sometime in 1985 or '86. And I saw the tape for this album in their tape section, and based on my buddies word, and how awesome the cover was, I bought the tape and went home and devoured it. Listened to it over and over and over again. Flash forward 40 years later, it's still my favorite. I love Davey's solo work in this version of Powerslave. To me, this is the definitive version of every song on this album.

[@juanneman]

Please do the video of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner performance. This album is the best live ever for me, back in the day I was enthralled, I cannot find words to describe what I feel every time I remember listening, watching and feeling it. It was in my teenage ears and this album meant all to me. Thanks for the memories Nico.

[@francescogambino1419]

Ciao Nico, my favorite moments are the intro and Aces High, just like the flame before the explosion. Great performance. Maiden at their highest level. Nobody could do the same today. The DVD released in 2005 offers an amazing remastered version of this live, along with the Live behind the iron curtain, the leg of the tour in Eastern Europe.

[@secularmonknz]

The aggression of Powerslave on LAD is awesome, same with Hallowed... the whole album is just amazing. Rime is legendary... too cool. I remember saving up some money as a kid and walking to the record store with my friend and buying the double cassette. I still have it. It was practically a religious relic for me at the time. If I had one album to listen to forever it would be this. This album almost came to define me in some ways. Great video Nico.

[@IanPotts-lv6os]

I wore the VHS cassette out that's also the period I got into them

[@sbeetley]

So many similar takes on my end. Mostly what I think of when I think about Live After Death is that it's the moment I knew I was going to be playing music for the rest of my life, regardless of my success at it. There was no question after seeing L.A.D. that I was going to be a lead guitar player in a rock band. I discovered Maiden in '91 when I was about 13, so yeah. 35 years later, I can point it all the way back to Dave and Adrian trading solos in Aces High. For me it was what I imagine kids in the 60's felt when they were watching the moon landing.

[@eddiesalazar5808]

Best live album hands down!! Still get chills listening to it!!

[@jetzevanhoorn3857]

I’m not really a collector, but one of my favourite Maiden items I have is the LAD cd i bought in ‘95. The booklet is falling apart because i would look at everytime, so amazed by everything in it! 5 years ago i got the front cover tattooed on my leg. I agree the part on Ancient Marinier into the solos gives goosebumps everytime!

[@cattheman6491]

Amazing album! The first Maiden I ever heard and I still love it.

[@maiden4greece572]

Amazing...

[@avs-forum]

I was in 7th grade when I first saw Live After Death on MTV's Saturday Night Concert. Like you, I used it to learn bass, and Steve Harris was my inspiration and, to this day, my favorite band.

[@Elric70]

Long after no longer still having a turn table, I still have this album, Stars, and original release of Kill Em' All. One of my favorite moments from that concert was when the solo fired up on Powerslave and we got to the see the giant mummified Eddie. It's tough growing up in the 80's when there was such a high level of entertainment everywhere, you really see the contrast now.

[@takacgameshd7003]

First, im now going to watch the full video 🤘🤘🤘

[@RafaelHenriqueRHGM]

I have so many good memories about this album... Was the first Rock show that I watched in DvD in my life. I remember that the cables of the DvD player was kind of broken, so in some points during the show the sound of Dave's guitar were lower or just dissapeard. I was like "What tha heck?!", I didn't knew that the cables were doing this, so then I discoverd about R and L sounds, and if I just disconectec one of this cabl3s, I could hear Dave's guitar o4 Adrian's guitar almost isolated. Then that's how I learn by ear to play some powerchords and riffs of these songs, playing through. "Live After Death" was my first "guitar backing track" experience (it happened at 2005, when I was 12 years old). At the same year, I found the LP version of this show in a local music store that existed in my town at that time, and I was mesmerized with this! It was a second hand LP and I saved some money to buy it. I still have this LP. My fav of this is "The Rime", "Powerslave" and "Phanton of the Opera". One of the most awesome live albuns ever! 🤘🏼⚡🎸

[@squishygothdude]

My all time favorite song off of Live After Death is Revelations, the live version is so much more than the original version!

[@Rudyasroma]

11 months of touring… Now I know why Adrian wrote Wasted Years not long after.

[@DanGmz]

In the early 90s in my country you could rent the VHS at a videoclub, I want to believe that some employee saw the cover and thought it was a horror movie lol. I remember the first time I saw it was on a black and white TV at a friend's house, then a few years later I rented it again to copy it lol What had surprised me when I heard "Hallowed be thy name" was that it sounded heavier than the studio version, I heard the live version first and when I heard the original I thought, wow! what happened here? Curious note, in the intro of the video the first takes that appear are in reverse, minute 5:16 look at the person clapping. LAD is a amazing album for those who want to hear Maiden for the first time at their best. It will always be my favorite 🤘🤘

[@jesswilson8687]

Hallowed when Bruce yells scream for me LB as the tempo goes faster before the solos... full energy

[@hayatotheninja]

This is pretty much my Iron Maiden Gateway Drug, not the album but the VHS tape.

[@tomsvinylsessions]

As a kid i didnt know why the VHS was different audio to the album release. Also to listen to the guitar parts i unplugged a speaker as my system didnt have pan.

[@hekateon.ioannis.lasorsa]

Cover art is my current phone screen \m/

[@jcsk8]

I´ve had never payed attention to music untill I´ve heard that album. I was 10 years young and I was astonshied.

[@MrManuelinsaurralde]

Along with Rock in Rio, these are the Maiden's live albums I love the most. I respect the studio tracks of each album but there are several tracks from both live albums that I enjoy much more and prefer to the studio ones. In the case of Live After Death, Rime of the Ancient Mariner is my favorite and I'm learning it by following that live recording. It's perfect to my ears since I heard it for the first time. A big goal this year for me is to learn Dave's solo on that track. Also Adrian's but Dave's especially in the last bars has such a fantastic expression, which I love compared to the studio one. It would be great to see you play the solos, Nicko. Best regards

[@MikeStock88]

Rock in rio is still my favourite Love maiden england too, set list was incredible But live after death is also great

[@leytonanderson9177]

Great video Nico. How did you feel about Bruce's vocals (particularly on Aces High?) Off key on the video version..improved as the concert progressed but he was pretty burnt out by this stage of the tour. Would love a detailed review of the guitar parts..love Adrian's Lado and tone on this recording.

[@mikev2050]

Yes! Please do a breakdown video of ROTAM from LAD!

[@carzz185]

in my case the live album that really got me into maiden is donington 92, so it has a special place in my heart... but can't deny the greatness of live after death, it has my favorite versions of flight of icarus, rime of the ancient mariner, revelations (best version ever), and powerslave... yes bruce appearing behind the fire during the chorus is EPIC (in capitals) also both adrian and steve using lado instruments... steve using those blue lado basses was epic... loved the shape and sound

[@rogeriogoncalves2868]

Primeiro disco ao vivo do Maiden que escutei em 88, depois consegui o made in Japan que na minha humilde opinião é tão bom quanto esse.

[@rubenalcazar5295]

También cambió la mía. Aún conservo el doble cassette.😅

[@miguelanxomuradolo2638]

To answer your question: I'm sure we'd all love that comment on the performance of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

[@frednava3869]

Amazing live album ! Wonderful memories! Even today that stage production is amazing! Wish they didn’t omit Dave’s unaccompanied guitar solo. Maybe an anniversary release will be unedited .

[@leobasil5658]

best/most memorable bit...end of Revelations... Bruce singing "....it is you..." (song just bout fades out)...and then some unknown legend in the crowd shouting "MUTHERFUCKER!!! still awesome...can't hear than song now without that being shouted out at the end...and I'm sure that they increased the level of that tiny bit on the remastered version! And good on them if they did!

[@somersetcyder6833]

It's Nicko who says it.

[@leobasil5658]

@somersetcyder6833 wow! Really!? That's even funnier...love it! Nick was always the crazy heart of the band! Bruce was an agent of chaos, obvs (check out mission from 'arry)...but have always loved the shout at end of revelations...and if that was, indeed, nick then, well, the only thing you can say is "fuck my old boots, that's funny!" 😂

[@cajaroso]

Rime of the ancient mariner is Epic!!! I love the part where Bruce sings "...and then down in falls comes the rain" and the whole band kicks in, pls do the video!. Phantom of the Opera's but specially the 2nd solo (not sure who is playing it) is also a favorite of mine. Pls do a video about LAD's Phantom of the Opera too! And one question: is the Aces High version on the home video, different to the one in the dual album? they sound kind of different to me...

[@alanbourke4069]

SCREAM FOR ME LONG BEACH

[@stratonut]

Scream for me !!

[@sabrepax9012]

Iconic live album and VHS that I ve listened hundreds of time. The good thing was the stereo dual guitars indeed. But not Maiden at their best unforntunatly because Bruce's voice wasn t there at all , worn out by extensive touring... Best song: Phantom of the Opera and Adrian's solo My favorite live album is a bootlegg called "Die with your boots On" taped/recorded I reckon almost professionnaly in 1983 at Hammersmith Odeon , Bruce 's voice at its peak👌

[@faikulku3832]

The situation is like my situation in 1988. Hallowed be thy name the my starting point in heavy metal

[@RonnieLopez-vj4ou]

Guitar cover too, Die With Your Boots On would be badass.

[@cem1972ist]

süper live album and video

[@thenephilimm]

I remember those big ass mishibshi tv’s they were over a grand lol lucky to see some live after death on that thing!

[@PlatinumBrunette]

Of course as a fan who bought this when it came out, I pretty much agree with everything said here - but in retrospect I have to say I think Beast Over Hammersmith is much better performance-wise. Bruce sounds strained on LAD (understandably so given the schedule) whereas on BOH he is absolutely killing it. And the energy/tightness on BOH is just incredible (Clive Burr being the obvious variable)...just my 2 cents. Wonderful video as always Nico 🙂

[@speedbeagle6498]

Many of the songs i heard first on live after death and like you i have a hard time getting into their album versions as they just don't hit quite the same. I used to have a tab book for this album and it was a constant source of frustration because i was never as talented as you and i just couldn't do it justice. Never saw the video. Im gonna have to search for a copy now thanks and I'd appreciate a vid on your take on TROTAM as well!

[@Cathrac]

Hm, Thats strange. I feel in every cllip you have shown up until 09:30, Bruce's singing is off. Is that just me?

[@MrDhilrd]

My first 2 of 5 Iron Maiden shows was the World Slavery tour. Detroit with Twisted Sister and Okc with W.A.S.P. I still have the tour book and shirt.

[@darrenc8776]

Best live album ever. I love deep purple made in Japan. live after death is fantastic. 40 years ago wow were did the time go. Had this on tape originally my mates older brother had it but was more into the Smiths so he gave me it

[@MrRelaxedanderson]

I remember my Dad taping an abridged version this for me off late night telly back in 1987. I'd only been listening to Maiden for a few months so this was the first time I got to see them playing live. As I was only 8 years old at the time my Dad "accidentally" taped over some of the more adult comments in the Running Free singalong and claimed there was a problem with the video tape. The other thing I remember about it is that for some reason it was edited so that it jumped straight from the intro to Aces High into the pre-chorus of 2 Minutes To Midnight. I don't know if this was a genuine tape error or if ITV decided to cut it that way but for about six months I thought that was how 2MTM actually sounded. It was only when I got Powerslave for Christmas that year that I realised I was wrong.

[@titanberserkanimation5837]

pull off the video about Rime!!! 🤘💪

[@hallowed45]

Greatest live album ever..better than Kiss. better than UFO better than everything \MM/

[@matiasanzalone1]

Hello Nicko. I hope you are well. About this album I have had a question for many years that maybe you can answer. Why isn't the song Losfer words on the track list anymore? I hope you know. Thank you so much. A strong hug. 

[@bghammock]

The Live After Death VHS made me a lifelong rabid Maiden fan. My brother and I watched it over and over and over. My favorite parts are really just discovering Adrian and what he actually does during the songs. "Oh, Adrian sings too?? AND he plays the more melodic parts of the songs that I really like?? Wow, I really like this guy!" I think that's why I was completely crushed when No Prayer came out and Adrian had left the band. Funny enough, I didn't like Adrian's Lado at the time LOL

[@cymro6537]

This album was great for learning the twin guitar parts - I'd just turn down either the left or right speaker on my high - fi, and pretend to be either 'Dave' or 'Adrian ' " *SCREAM FOR ME LONGBEACH* !!!"
