The Worst Iron Maiden Song On Every Album

[@Questformetal]

Apparantly Fear Of The Dark doesn't exist 🤪 My pick for that is easily Weekend Warrior

[@GhostSound2]

I guess you just don't fear the dark enough

[@necrogodmachine]

You could've left it off the list and I still would've know it is the weakest. I know you it would be your pick before the ranking started

[@logancribman]

I actually like weekend warrior a lot, I’d probably pick the apparition

[@vicenteraira]

@@logancribman Good point, this song is so blatant that I couldn't even recall its existence. lol Plus, I like ⚽, so WW makes a lot of sense for me.

[@a-man3179]

Either Weekend Warrior or The Apparition, which is just boring and repetitive. Can't decide which I like less.

1. Strange World (still like it ) 2. Prodigal Son 3. Gangland (still really like it) 4. Sun and Steel 5. Flash of the Blade (love it) 6. Heaven Can Wait 7. Can I play with Madness 8. The Assassin 9. Weekend Warrior 10. Look for the Truth (still like it) 11. Don’t look to the eyes of a stranger (still like it ) 12. Out of the silent planet (love it) 13. Gates of tomorrow 14.

[@MichaelSmith-zx5lw]

I've been a Maiden fan since 2005, and I always am shocked how their music is STILL growing on me. I had some songs I didn't like much (some of them classics) and now? Love them! I used to really dislike half of Powerslave...now I think the album is BEAST

[@temudjin06]

Maiden fan since 1986 and their music is STILL growing on me! This band is so rich, don't think I'll ever be tired of them. 🤘🤘

[@davidtrevino5211]

POWERSLAVE is pound 4 pound and song for song the greatest IRON MAIDEN ALBUM EVER.

[@Sean-fv4wi]

Same! Fan since 2000 and I've worn out everything of theirs. The sign of how special they are to me & the quality of their catalog is that even tho I'll 'put albums on a back seat' for a while, when I do go back to them, they still resonate, sometimes even more than before & that certain songs will stand out more than they used to for me. This band has spoiled us fans with a treasure trove of music to dive into for generations. Their music is eternal \m/

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

After 20 years listening to Maiden I'm still "discovering" Somewhere in Time and Brave New World. It's crazy. On the other hand, I'm getting tired of the Dianno albums, that I used to love. The best thing about Maiden is how many different vibes they had

[@jingtroc23]

The Duelists is a fecking masterpiece in metal music! Bruces vocals are one of the best, the guitars arrangement.. i don't get how so many people over look that song. I think because it's not the kind of song played live so you hear more of the powerslave, aces high, Mariner etc, but anyone reading this, go check that song out again, it's so so good

[@richardmendoza738]

The duelist and quest for fire are some of my absolute favorites lol

[@slobodanmedojevic6336]

The Duellists is one of my favorites song. That instrumental part in the middle is mind blowing. And vocal melodies...oh boy. Killer song!

[@jingtroc23]

@@slobodanmedojevic6336 I know right, some songs get over shadowed because they're never played live.

[@GeezySeason]

There are many underrated songs, let me list some of them: Back in the village 2AM Lord of the Flies Sea of Madness Don't look to the Eyes of Stranger 22 Acacia Avenue Ghost of the Navigator Flash of the Blade Deja Vu Days of Future Past

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

Quest I think they should have put Total Eclipse on the Number of The Beast album instead of Gangland. Also on Seventh Son Can I Play With Madness seems out of place with the rest of the album. Good video dude.

[@vicenteraira]

I totally share the opinion with "CILWM?", plus it is kinda overplayed.

[@duncanworman6587]

I would keep gangland, delete invaders and add total eclipse

[@jimmykray9583]

[@tiborosz1825]

The Prophecy is actually an interlude song between the songs preceeding and following it. It has complex midevial harmonies. People who understand music usually like it.

[@sarahmanktelow9015]

I absolutely love that song. It’s probably my favourite on that album

[@jonybeam21]

for me it's the best song on seventh son.

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

It lacks a really strong hook, but yeah, all those harmonies are brilliant

[@guillaumegarnier7278]

It's probably one of my favourite songs. The prophecy has a such special atmosphere, harmonies are so specific, but I und why it's unliked, because it's so different from "classical maiden"

[@drachireidnoc6659]

I enjoy Gangland (like the speed of it) and Heaven Can Wait (love the vocal chant in that one gets me pumped every time)

[@KING7CANTONA]

Heaven can wait is fkin sick , (no bad songs on the album, but I would probably deja vu is the weakest- still sick tho )

[@metalinsights9664]

"Lost in a Lost World" is a beautiful, touching song about the loss of a culture that, interestingly, tells the story about Native Americans with old Irish melodies. On paper, it is not something that should have worked, but the actual song is a stroke of brilliance. Very unique. And isn't unique, authentic music what we hope to get from rock and heavy metal as an art form? "Fates Warning" is Maiden perfection. The lyrics in the bridge are so unique and thought provoking, as is the whole song, the solo is a slam dunk, the guitar harmony is classy, and the pace at which the song progresses is the perfect mid-tempo. Class from start to finish. "Back in the Village" features some mind-blowing precision guitar work that we haven't figured out how to play correctly to this day. "Gangland" is a song for the sake of the song. It never wants to be a hit and, therefore, has an enduring quality in that you can't overplay it and get bored of it, because it resists the fatigue that overplaying can introduce. "Quest for Fire.' Find even one other metal band that has thought of singing about dinosaurs and the importance of fire to early humans. Some find the song cheesy, but I think it's what sets Maiden apart, again, and puts them in a class of their own. "Mother of Mercy" is wonderfully macabre. It is Maiden's modern-day equivalent of "Children of the Damned."

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

Agree on most. For me the Fates Warning biggest sin is that the hook sounds too much like The Claivoyant's. But I ain't complaining

[@loganc1158]

Maybe a video like this for Opeth? Or a video for best song on each album for Iron Maiden (the second best band of all time)

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

The second?? After Black Sabbath, I hope... 🤔

[@kaiserYT_]

Still Life is super underrated. If it had the original title "Piece of Mind" you can be sure it would be one of their most famous songs

[@antonfriberg4964]

Oh yes, it is GREAT

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

I like Quest for Fire even better. So overhated

[@hateofallhatreds]

The Prophecy got a new lease on life thanks to the acoustic version by Thomas Zwijsen - what a gem it is with the extended outro.

[@FreddyChoppins]

These are all off the top of my head, but: Iron Maiden: Charlotte the Harlot Killers: Innocent Exile Number of the Beast: Gangland Piece of Mind: Quest for Fire Powerslave: Losfer Words Somewhere in Time: Deja Vu Seventh Son: Can I Play With Madness No Prayer for the Dying: The Assassin Fear of the Dark: The Apparition X Factor: 2 A.M.

[@zachdproductions123]

I’m pretty sure I did a video on this already. Definitely agree on some choices here like Gangland, Back In The Village, The Prophecy, Angel & The Gambler, and a few others. I actually really dig Lost In a Lost World. But yeah sweet vid!

[@gunnarsgarageband6384]

I respect your views, though I strongly disagree with most of them. My list would probably be as follows: Debut: Remember Tomorrow Killers: Innocent Exile NotB: Run to the Hills (good, but waaay overplayed) PoM: Quest for Fire Powerslave: Back in the Village (good, but weaker than the rest) SiT: Deja Vu SSoaSS: Can I Play With Madness (decent, but the rest are all great) NPftD: The Assassin FotD: The Apparition X Factor: 2 A.M. (insanely depressive) Virtual XI: The Angel and the Gambler, Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger (both too repetetive) BNW: The Thin Line Between Love and Hate (first 4 min are great, should have cut 2nd half) DoD: Rainmaker AMoLaD: The Longest Day Final Frontier: The Man Who Would Be King (not too bad, but still the weakest) TBoS: Tears of a Clown (one of Maiden's worst songs, period) Senjutsu: Darkest Hour (this song is still 8/10)

[@vlassisnikas7634]

Well in my humble opinion there is no bad song in their '80s albums. I love them all. Moving on: No Prayer For The Dying "Hooks In You", Fear Of The Dark "Fear Is The Key", The X Factor "Look For The Truth", Virtual XI "The Angel And The Gambler", Brave New World "The Mercenary ", Dance Of Death "No More Lies", A Matter Of Life And Death "Different World", The Final Frontier "The Man Who Would Be King", The Book Of Souls "Empire Of The Clouds", Senjutsu "The Parchment".

[@MichaelSmith-zx5lw]

Also, No Prayer For The Dying is one of my top five Maiden albums...😂

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

Soooo underrated. Tailgunner is a nice opener, Mother Russia gets ignored for no reason and it's one of the best epic closers, title song goes deep, Run Silent, Run Deep, The Assassin and Bring Your Daughter are really fun...

[@metalinsights9664]

In my opinion, the weakest song on Senjutsu is "The Darkest Hour." The intro sounds super spacey and suggests that something much bigger and more bombastic is about to come, which never happens. The chorus falls a bit flat and is far less grandiose than it was probably intended to sound, mainly due to the unflattering production and instrumentation that are missing that special something that the chorus needed. It is actually a very good song, but it suffers from the mentioned musical incongruence and is let down by the unflattering production and uninspired instrumentation.

Iron Maiden i dont know, Killers I don't know, Number of the Beast i dont know, Peace of Mind Flight of the Ikarus, Powersalve Losfer Words Someware in Time Heaven can wait Seventh Son of a Seventh Son can i play with Madness No Prayer for the Dying i dont know fates Warning Fear of the Dark my Favorite Iron Maiden Album no bad Song 🤘

[@simond1574]

This is funny. For my money "Prodigal son" is the best song of Killers. And Lost in a Lost world is also a 5 star song for me. 1. Iron Maiden - Running Free (hate that song) 2. Killers - Innocent Exile (maybe the least memorable Di Anno song) 3. Number of the Beast - Gangland (Invaders is also terrible) 4. Piece of Mind - Quest for fire (booooring) 5. Powerslave - The Duellists (even more booooooooring) 6. Somewhere in Time - Heaven can wait (that chorus, uargh) 7. Seventh son of a Seventh son - None! Ok: The Prophecy 8. No prayer for the dying - Public Enema No One (A real low point on the worst Bruce album) 9. Fear of The Dark - Weekend Warrior (what is this?) 10.The X Factor - The Aftermath (one of the songs, where Blaze's voice really annoys me) 11.Virtual XI - Angel and the Gambler (did anyone ciunt the "Don't you Think" lines?) 12.Brave New World - The fallen Angel (not bad, but weakest on a perfect album) 13.Dance Of Death - Gates of Tomorrow (could also be Journeyman) 14.A Matter of Life and Death - The Legacy (Don't like the album too much. Could also take B. Breeg) 15.The Final Frontier - Satellite 15 (No, you are not a prog band) 16.The Book of Souls - Speed of Light (hate the song. Hated it even live. Tears of a clown is also boring) 17.Senjutsu - Senjutsu (not bad, but sub par compared to the rest)

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

I swear ya'll don't understand IM style. Invaders is a masterpiece

[@ippopaidi]

1. "Charlotte The Harlot" (Fun song, I don't skip it, but super cheesy) 2. "Another Life" (Decent, but weaker than the rest) 3. "Invaders" (Still don't skip it but not my fav Maiden opener) 4. "Quest for fire" (this or "die with your boots on") I really don't care for either, but still fun to listen to. 5. "The Duelist" (The vocals on the chorus kinda annoy me, still decent..) 6. "Loneliness of the long distance".. (cool track but my least fav on the album) 7. "Only the good Die young" (Kinda similar to "Can I Play With Madness" especially the chorus, not a bad song on this album though) 8. "Fates Warning".. (meh track) 9. "The Apparition" (easily the weakest track melodically) 10. "Fortunes Of War" (Still cool, but it kinda takes forever to get going) 11. "Angel and the gambler" (Stop writing songs about gambling Steve.. like I love the music of "the red and the black" but it has such stupid lyrics) 12. "The Mercenary" (Not a bad song on this album but for me weaker than the rest too many chorus repeats) 13. "Age of innocence" (not that interesting, still a good song) 14. Not a bad song on this record my personal favorite 15. "The Man who would be king", (not my fave Maiden album, could have chosen at least 5 more contenders for weakest song..) 16. "The Great Unknown" (easily my pick for worst Maiden track of all time... Nothing interesting, generic lyrics, Bruce's straining vocals in the chorus ... Lyrically "The Red And the Black" is worse but it is fantastic musically ... Seriously Steve... Gambling is not an interesting topic to write epics about.. 17. Oh dear me ... Can I pick 4 ? Sure I can! "Death of The Celts", "The Time Machine", "Lost In A lost World", "Darkest Hour"

So glad you called out Heaven can wait. The intro is great, the rest is over repeated. They chose to play this constantly over the years live and don't bother with Loneliness of the long Distance Runner, Stranger or even Sea of Madness. And Yes.... Iron Maiden is over played and very meh.... it's literally just the live ending with Eddie.. That is its only purpose. Surely no one actually listens to it otherwise. Oh, And Can I Play with Madness is defo the worst on 7th Son

The only thing triggering about this is you skipping Fear of the Dark.

[@faroneasterday2579]

Every single iron maiden song is good and If you think I made it has a bad song you ain’t even a Iron maiden fan

[@tiborosz1825]

Fates Warning sounds like a leftover from Seventh Son. It has a great background melody and us probably the most Iron Maiden song on Dying.

[@Kblog777]

I think Maiden should do 7th son live in its entirety. As a concept album it would do it justice. They could make it real theatrical and cinematic too.

[@fourseasons4105]

Would love you to do the same with other bands My list: Iron maiden- Running free Killers- Purgatory The number of the beast- Gangland Piece of mind- Quest for fire Powerslave- Back in the village Somewhere in time- Stranger in a strange land Seventh son of a seventh son- The clairvoyant No prayer for the dying- Bring your daughter to the slaughter Fear of the dark- Weekend warrior The X factor- 2 A.M. Virtual XI- The angel and the gambler Brave new world- The Nomad Dance of death- No more lies A matter of life and death- Lord of light The final frontier- Coming home Book of souls- The red and the black Senjutsu- Stratego

[@protossevolution3361]

Iron Maiden: Remember Tomorrow (I don't like songs that feels like it's dragging) Killers: Drifter The Number of the Beast: Invaders (I like every song in the album, so it's the less favorite, not the worst) Piece of Mind: Sun and Steel (people usually hate Quest for Fire, but Quest is a very good song as a whole, I never focus on lyrics, but on melodies and rythm.) Powerslave: Back in the Village (less favorite, not worse. People who dismiss The Duellists don't know anything about music XD) Somewhere In Time: The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (I hate when the drums keep hitting the drum snare very fast, tac tac tac tac tac, it's not for me) Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: Can I Play With Madness (Iron Maiden is not made for happy major scale songs) No Prayer for the Dying: Hooks in You (People usually chooses Public Enema or Fates Warning, those two actually, are the more in-line with the best songs of classic maiden, fast paced, angry, full of guitar duets, Fates Warning has a fantastic solo, etc) Fear of The Dark: Weekend Warrior (terrible song!) X-Factor: Judgement of Heavens (too happy vocal melodies for me) Virtual XI: The Educated Fool Brave New World: The Thin Line Between Love and Hate (unbereable vocals in this one, another song that drags too much) Dance of Death: Face In The Sand A Matter of Life and Death: Different World (not worse, less great, this album is amazing) The Final Frontier: The Talisman/Coming Home/The Man who Would be King/Mother of Mercy (this album sucks hard, probably the worst Maiden album) The Book of Souls: Tears of a Clown/Death or Glory/Shadows of the Valley (can't choose one; all of them sucks equally) Senjutsu: Death of the Celts (Iron Maiden copying itself, The Clansman is a classic, this one has abismal bad guitar riffs, I can't believe this song made to the final release)

[@noa5725]

Iron Maiden - Translvanyia Killers - Murders in the Rue Morgue Number of the Beast - Gangland Piece of Mind - Quest for Fire Powerslave - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (still a good song just don't like it as much as the rest) Somewhere in Time - Alexander the Great (great instrumentals but the vocal melodies are bland) Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Can I Play With Madness (don't like it that much. Pretty poppy and barley sounds like a maiden song) No Prayer For the Dying - Running Silent Running Deep Fear of the Dark - From Here to Eternity Virtual XI - The Angel and the Gambler Brave New World - The Thin Line Between Love and Hate Dance of Death - No More Lies I haven't listened to the rest so i can't decide which is the worst

[@Churly25]

My least favourite song of each album of Iron Maiden: - Iron Maiden: Strange world (good but they have better soft songs) - Killers: Prodigal son (better than the previous one, still its not that amazing) - The number of the beast: Invaders (great song but I just prefer the other ones, including Gangland) - Piece of mind: Quest for fire (great song but compared with the rest of the album, its the most generic song) - Powerslave: The duellists (very hard choice, its amazing but idk, maybe I find the chorus like strange or idk) - Somewhere in time: The loneliness of the long distance runner (very hard choice again, amazing song but the chorus could be more creative) - Seventh son of a seventh son: The prophecy (same as you, I think it doesnt have so much to offer except the ending, which is really good) - No prayer for the dying: Public enema number one (I literally forgot this song exists) - Fear of the dark: The apparition (weird and wtf song... that's pretty much I have to say about this one) - X Factor: honestly I dont like this album so it could be any song except Man on the edge. Seriously, this album is terrible for me - Virtual XI: Dont you think Im a savior... I mean, The angel and the gambler (same reason as everyone) - Brave new world: The thin line between love and hate (beautiful song but its longer than it should be. Something similar happens to Dream of mirrors) - Dance of death: Age of innocence (weak chorus, overall it doesnt have too much to offer) - A matter of life and death: Brighter than a thousand suns (good song but repetitive and a weak chorus where Bruce voice sounds tired af. Also Lord of light and The legacy, decent songs but just that) - The final frontier: Starblind (poor chorus, overall not memorable. Also, songs like Isle of avalon, Mother of mercy or The man who would be a king bore me) - The book of souls: The great unknown (weak chorus, overall Bruce voice sounds so tired in this song) - Senjustu: Senjutsu (very good idea, but longer and slower than it should be)

Sanctuary (also overplayed, but still like it) Genghis Khan Number of the Beast (just tired of this song and not tired of any other song on this album) Quest For Fire Losfer Words (this is no Genghis Khan!) Heaven Can Wait (it's ok) Can I Play With Madness (I used to like it. Now I don't like Maiden doing hair metal choruses) Hooks in You (top 5 worst song) Fear Is The Key (possibly the worst in their catalog) Judgement of Heaven (this was hard to pick one cuz most of them are ok) Angel & The Gambler (definitely the worst of the Blaze era) The Fallen Angel (song is a solid B, but this album is a solid A+) Wildest Dreams (agree with you...) Out of the Shadows (also one of the worst songs ever... not quite as bad as Fear Is The Key) When The Wild Wind Blows (way too long and they don't need to pilfer folk music melodies) - Mother of Mercy is my favorite from the album. It's the most Dickinson like... think Chemical Wedding... the best album Maiden never did. The Man Of Sorrows (snore... Tears of A Clown is bad too) Death of the Celts (see comment for the Wild Wind Blows)
