[@jgoodz420]

Do like a lot of Blazes stuff, but this one definately sounds better with Bruce singing...

[@Opelmannen1224]

@@jgoodz420 Agreed, the best version of this song is on Rock in Rio with the master himself, Bruce.

[@macabre19]

Blaze sung his heart out on this song. This is one of their best.

[@JDKnight780]

My favorite song off of Virtual XI. Up The Irons!

[@TheSeraphim75]

The greatest song they ever released after the Fear of the Dark album for me...

[@tobiaskeseberg1445]

One of the best Maiden songs. Not that short "party" song. But thst one includes all qualities (bassline, melodic guitar rythm ...) and style which identiy Iron Maiden.

[@FabioPilgrim]

Eu amo essa música. No rock in Rio 2001 foi simplesmente perfeito, me arrepio só de lembrar.

[@rellyky]

Melhor versão. Ate parece outra na voz do bruce

[@FabioPilgrim]

@@rellyky Pra mim o Bruce atingiu o ápice nesse show. Quase todo dia escuto esse álbum do rock in Rio. Não tem banda igual o Iron Maiden, esses caras são de outro planeta😂. Em 2011 foi no show da turnê do Final frontier. Sempre achei a voz do Bruce incrível, escutando ele ao vivo nesse show fiquei mais chocado ainda. Ele é o melhor.

Amazing

[@MrCalidan69]

That's just gorgeous music

[@michelbr1389]

I know no one consider this song the best form Iron, but certainly is the most important song they made. Specially nowadays when our freedom is stoled from our hands by govermnents and agressive cultures from outside the causasus.

[@ludaMerlin69]

I've always considered it one of thier best! And you are right, its more relevant than ever.

Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face It feels good to be proud And be free and a race that is part of a clan To live on highlands With the air that you breathe So pure and so clean When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom It's a time wrought with fear It's a land wrought with change Ancestors could hear what is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free has written in chains And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend I will fight to the end And I swear that I'll never be taken alive And I know that we'll stand We'll fight for a land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what I want I am the clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We're the land of the free No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We're the land of the free No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We're the land of the free Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman

[@thediesel387]

Iron Maiden is not a band it's a genre. It's like taking out the Led. Once you go in that direction you can forget about all other music for a while.

[@catjudo1]

The virtuosity of your technique and song never ceases to amaze me, Mr. Zwijsen. I'm convinced you have an extra finger or two to play so well. I'm also convinced that your right hand must be able to crush walnuts as there is some serious forearm muscle backing it up. And though I always welcome the presence of Mr. Blaze Bayley in your videos, I gotta admit that that lovely dog is an aesthetic improvement even if he can't sing. Thanks for making the video so that slobs like me can see and listen!

[@K-E-N-07]

Such a powerful song. Translates wonderful to acoustic when you have virtuoso at the wheel.

[@Zokambaa]

I think all Maiden songs do... This guy and 2 Cellos do some crazy good covers... it's almost like it was written to be played this way... I think that says something about the band... and these covers

Pura besteira da galera modinha. Os 2 álbuns do Blaze são legais. Reclama deles e não falam nada do fraquíssimo Final Frontier.
