PKMetal Everyone who counts themselves as a Maiden fan NEEDS to hear this "loving parody." Be warned: after this, whenever you listen to any IM song, you may have "Repeat the chorus!" running through your head instead of the actual chorus. Favorite track: Up the Irons (an epic hymn to Iron Maiden).

Tim Wing Love everything about these songs. Being an Iron Maiden fan Up In Irons is just awesome and fun. Adoro Te Devote is an epic song shoing the promise of the band. Cant wait for new things to come.
Favorite track: Adoro Te Devote.

UP THE IRONS (AN EPIC HYMN TO IRON MAIDEN) Words and Music by Paolo Tiseo of THEANDRIC Let me tell you ‘bout my favorite band They hail from England’s green and pleasant land Six saintly shrouded men move across the stage They keep on forging metal despite their old age I will always praise them for their heavy metal hearts Even after they trade metal for a fleet of six golf carts 1. Steve Harris had the vision and he writes those epic songs With sometimes too many words in the verses that makes it awkward to sing along His galloping magic fingers have no use for picks Some may say his bass playing is too high in the mix Writin’, Leadin’, Vision, plays a Fender bass! Writin’, Leadin’, STEVE!!! Writin’, Leadin’, Vision, his daughter’s kinda hot! Writin’, Leadin’, WEST HAM UNITED!!! REPEAT THE CHORUS REPEAT THE CHORUS REPEAT THE CHORUS 2. Bruce Dickinson is the greatest singer to ever walk the earth The day he was created was no accident of birth He’s a licensed pilot who always flies first class He wrote the Chemical Wedding, that album kicks my ass Fencin’, Flyin’, Singin’, Writin’ funny books, Fencin’, Flyin’, BRUCE!!! Fencin’, Flyin’, Singin’, Wearin’ crazy pants! Fencin’, Flyin’, SCREAMIN’!!! REPEAT THE CHORUS REPEAT THE CHORUS REPEAT THE CHORUS (2nd time: THE EYE OF HORUS) 3. When Davey Murray plays guitar, he does it without guile When he steps out on the stage, it’s service with a smile! He doesn’t write too many songs, but when he does, they’re good The ending of ‘The Prophecy’ always gives me wood Pickin’, grinnin’, jammin’, such a friendly chap! Pickin’, grinnin’, DAVEY!!! Pickin’, grinnin’, jammin’, you know he likes to golf! Pickin’, jammin’, SMILEY FACE!!! THE SAME FOUR WORDS THE SAME FOUR WORDS THE SAME FOUR WORDS (x2) THEN CHANGE THE KEY THEN CHANGE THE KEY THEN CHANGE THE KEY (x2) THEN BACK TO ‘E’ THEN BACK TO ‘E’ THAT CLEVER STEVE (X2) Then I saw the heavens opened, and there was a white horse; its rider was (called) "Faithful and True." He judges and wages war in righteousness. His eyes were (like) a fiery flame, and on his head were many diadems. He had a name inscribed that no one knows except himself. He wore a cloak that had been dipped in blood, and his name was called the Word of God. The armies of heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and wearing clean white linen. Out of his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron maiden, and he himself will tread out in the wine press the wine of the fury and wrath of God the almighty. So it shall be written, so it shall be done. 4. It’s time to mention Adrian Smith, he plays a mean guitar But stay away from “Melvin” when he’s hanging at the bar Every single note he plays is filled with heart and soul But you should see what he can do with just a fishing pole! Pickin’, jammin’, tappin’, writing awesome riffs Pickin’, Urchin, Adrian!!! Pickin’, jamming, tappin’, he wears lots of headbands while he’s Pickin’, jammin’, He likes to fish! THIS SONG’S SO LONG, etc. 5. The man we call Nicko McBrain, is quite a funny bloke His nose is quit misshapen, I tell you it’s no joke But he plays the drums and he brings it every night Last time he played a solo he and Steve got in a fight Drummin’, jokin’, prayin’, he also likes to golf Drummin’, jokin’, NICKO!!! Drummin’, jokin’, prayin’, rock n’ roll ribs, Drummin’, jokin, prayin' BORN AGAIN!!! WE’RE STILL NOT DONE, etc. The Seventh Son (is their best album) 6. Janick Gers is the third guitarist, with that funky name His frantic on-stage antics are sometimes kinda lame I don’t why he’s still there, since Adrian came back But he and Bruce are buddies, so let’s all cut him some slack Pickin’, bendin’, spinnin’, falling on his face!, Pickin’, bendin’, JANICK!!! Pickin’, bendin’, rapin’ Adrian’s solos… Pickin’, bendin’, EXTRANEOUS!!! UP THE IRONS! So now I’ve told you ‘bout my favorite band Go spread this song of tribute all across the land I don’t seek fame and fortune, don’t misconstrue me But if Steve Harris hears this, I hope he doesn’t sue me So now lift up the Irons ever higher ‘cause when the music’s over…that’s the Majesty of Gaia

about

A tongue-in-cheek tribute to Iron Maiden written in the style of a full-blown Steve Harris epic. Galloping bass, triple harmonies, repetitive choruses, and MORE! Plus one original Theandric tune based on the gregorian chant, "Adoro Te Devote."
