Iron Maiden - Prowler - The Soundhouse Tapes

[@gfrkiss]

I saw them at The Soundhouse....1979...and I still have this. The gig was £1. Those were magic times...

[@HandeToon]

"OW!! Haha!" -Paul DiAnno, 1979

[@andrewchadaranek9714]

My first song ever by Maiden 40 years ago!

[@Real_SkyRipper]

amazing song, no one could have done it better than Di Anno

[@philipholmes5884]

Heard a clip of this version on the "12 wasted years" VHS video... thinking that this is better than the album version...now i get to hear all of it ! Thanks for posting...👍🏻

[@666777GG]

DAVE MURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevenwilliams4172]

this is how prowler is supposed to be,,,,,, raw and primitive

[@DrRidaz]

right this is the sickest version

[@silvershade3265]

The voice is beyond awesome (as usual, actually!) but I prefer the rhythm in the album version

[@marcelbr815]

Exactly!

[@SolidGroovy3D]

The one on the album is still pretty raw, but heavier and faster. That's the best one in my book.

[@stevengomez3766]

This one is sick but i like the one on the album because its faster, and the best version of prowler is the live version at the reading festival

[@jermaineguillory2694]

R.I.P. Paul Di’Anno (1958-2024) 🙏

[@PaltryPete]

2:12.. That scream!

[@TheGagisa]

this sounds like punk

[@liamhuxley1389]

Maybe a little late, but it is what Paul intended originally!

[@bluehavencd]

Love this hidden gem. Great job for uploading.

[@TheMaynn]

Amazing vocalist

[@tuliobraga4226]

Paul D'ianno is Greaaat! congratulations

[@kuja900]

So raw I love it!

[@SpeciallyOriginal]

Wow i love Pauls voice in this. 1 million likes

[@Skelarot]

Thanks for the reply Jozef. I know of the Strange World recording however i don't have that one. I've heard the demo of Transylvania you uploaded as well. Both are 'kin great.

[@ThatGasPack]

I’m probably 10 years too late to ask but do you have your hands on one of these? Or was this a reupload of a Vinyl rip?

[@christianbenitez5021]

The Strange World recording can be found in the Best of the Beast compilation

[@crashin1]

Maiden were waaaayy ahead of their time. Best album un the history of metal.

[@Suzumebachigr]

@swine74 actually Dickinson brought a LOT to Iron Maiden.They evolved in a good way.I dont know how far they would go with Di'Anno.

[@brendansouza8416]

I mean they had American and Japanese tours with dianno in 1981

[@MrChika344]

so cool sound Iron Maiden

[@yanferoropeza8701]

[@MsJelibean]

ive heard this song about 15 times straight... i think im an addict

[@yearginclarke]

Do women actually like the lyrics to this? Badass song in any case, except I didn't discover the meaning of the lyrics till recently after having heard the song for years.

[@onutube6392]

@@yearginclarke it's pretty obvious what the song mean lol idk how it took you that long

[@yearginclarke]

@@onutube6392 Yeah but the "crawling through the bushes with it open wide" and "got me feeling myself and reeling around" part I didn't understand the lyrics until I read them for the first time about 4 months ago. I knew the song was obviously about a prowler stalking, but not quite in the way the lyrics portray the story once you read them.

[@sandytinky]

So raw and powerful! Paul ruled!

[@TheKeko88]

Just a real maiden fan like this !

[@Real_SkyRipper]

Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty, I've just got to find my way. See the ladies flashing. All there legs and lashes. I've just got to find my way. Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide. What you seeing girl? Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it, Can't you believe your eyes? It's the real thing girl. Got me feeling myself and reeling around, Got me talking but feel like walking around. Got me feeling myself and reeling a... Got me talking but nothing's with me... Got me feeling myself and reeling around.

[@Skelarot]

Cheers, thanks for that mate.

[@Iratimalatesta]

SUENA ANTIGUOOOO! YEEEEEEEA

[@seanodonnell9826]

Using a cleaner overdrive on the rhythm guitar sounds so damn good!

[@rodsmolter5046]

This is better than the album version. I can see why Steve didn't like the production of the first Maiden album.

[@KinkoPlaw12]

*Año 1979* Esta canción 🤘 Dibujos animados que veían la gente en esa época: Banner y Flappy 🚬🗿

[@dannyH84]

Recently bought this for £400. Eye watering but a sound investment

[@anger57289]

Ouch! Nearly did the same when I was blind ass drunk. Hope you win mate ;)

[@bschuler6216]

😂🤣😂

[@Maesa69]

I want see that ! :)

[@abrahamedelstein4806]

For some reason I often enjoy demo versions of songs more than the album versions, perhaps in the days of the LP it was important to shave off 20 seconds of a song, but I often find that the higher tempos seen in many album versions do the songs a general disservice, such as Metallica's Seek and Destroy. I would include Megadeth's version of the Mechanix compared to the original demo as an example, but that one was played too fast because Mustaine felt slighted that his former band members had said in interviews that he was a shit guitar player, way to compromise a song.

[@superaveragebros.9390]

didnt half the members of his band die in 1981 along with a sound guy?

[@jsusanmartin9182]

Ooooh la wea joya

[@Suzumebachigr]

Iron Maiden always played metal.

[@hovogliadileggere]

paul is breaking all here

[@tuliobraga4226]

Up the Iron's

[@simoneperini8360]

Inizio della mia religione

[@losferword]

@QueEEnfAN1 Dave is using "wah" without the pedal

[@Maesa69]

There`s a version of prowler in the álbum Killers ? NEGATIVE YOU WRONG !

[@fz7091]

Obviously there are 2 guitars here.

[@rocioj8913]

Dave murray

[@AltamontKiller]

@TheGagisa early maiden is the best

[@NathanielPuente]

Wasn't Ron Mathews on Drums at this time

[@sarcasmman6682]

NateTheGreat Doug Sampson. Ron Matthews was in the first line up

[@CORRENTEINVERSA]

2:12 Axl Rose

[@rohantiwari7801]

Axl Rose was a kid when this came out. Paul is way better.

[@kurtrusselltownmassacre6802]

More like a 70s rock singer, like Plant/Gillan

[@MattAttack54]

Its ok alit slow I like the Album verision better Invasion and Iron Maiden are my Favorite tracks from the Sound House tapes

[@QueEEnfAN1]

Oh, that's right Dennis Straton really did a good job in that album, i think I like him better than Adrian Smith

[@donvitovic7500]

No Stratton, Is Paul Cairns on guitar

[@marcelodarosa8030]

Quanto tempo eu perdi na minha vida sendo um idiota !!!!!!! prowder lifestyle just for the wise.

[@wickedream89]

this is fuckin good too /watch?v=15SSr9K07J0

[@AltamontKiller]

maiden should of kept paul....

[@Bannick8]

I love Paul and NWOBHM, but Maiden would have fizzled out like the rest of those bands in that scene if he stayed IMO. Bruce was the answer for Maiden to make it big internationally!!

[@nickcynn42]

I like bruce, but he didn't make maiden popular,first two albums-Diano, first American tour-Diano, first Japanese tour-Diano, first charted song-Diano, Bruce didn't make iron maiden big, they were already big and then he just jumped on the and wagon and gave the a slightly more commercial success, and honestly Diano was an amazing singer, he did in fact have the same range as Bruce and more power on the low tones, but Bruce had a Natually higher voice range so it just sounded a bit more natural, there ate ways bruce Dickinson is better than Paul Diano, but there are also ways that Diano was better than Bruce.

[@nickcynn42]

Jesus the spelling was all over the place on that sorry

[@lordharry423]

@@nickcynn42 Iron maiden were around on that mid level. Then Run to the Hills happened and they were everywhere for the next 10 years.

[@messtaker4782]

Si y avait pas eu Bruce Dickinson, entre Blaze Bayley et Paul Di'Anno je préfère Paul Di'Anno

[@Celfeercho]

oui

[@QueEEnfAN1]

I don't like the guitar in this intro, im not talking about talking about the guitar with wah, i mean the other guitar, idont like it here, the album version is way better

[@zenphil]

maybe they woulda actually kept playin metal, instead of sellin out
