Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.) (2015 Remaster)

"My son, ask Iron Maiden to write a song about you, for no other band could do a better job." You were right, dad.

If Alexander Great could listen to this song, he would be proud.

"In a part of Ancient Greece.." One of the best songs ever, with infinite amount of history on it..

No me caso de decirlo y escucharla y es una obra maestra absoluta!!!!

One of the greatest masterpieces in music history! Top 3 Iron Maiden songs in my opinion alongside Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

Tenho 52 anos, ouço Iron Maiden há 40. Consegui passar a paixão pro meu filho, já fomos a 3 shows juntos. Up the Irons!

This is not a song, this is "raw" history!!! Respect from Greece...

I am proud that I heard the first live performance, today in Slovenia!

In love with this song. Greetings from Katerini, Macedonia🇬🇷❤️

ALEXANDER THE GREAT🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 THANK YOU IRON MAIDEN FOR HONORING OUR HISTORY

Respects from Turkey to Alexander Great One of the legendary men of history

This song is a work of art, it's so unique. The way he sings it, really getting the story across. The riffs, the energy. It's absolutely amazing.

That's why I love Iron; they mix rock with history.

Nicko McBrain said in the interview that Maiden should play Alexander the Great before retirement 🤘🔥

PERFECT TRIBUTE FOR IMMORTAL KING AND BRAVE WARRIOR ALEXANDER! GOD BLEASSED YOU MY KING AND ALL GREEKS PEOPLE 👽🤘🇬🇷

This single man changed the history and the course of the modern world.

Σοκ και δέος

The most underrated Maiden song ever? The intro is stunning and iconic.

Finally. They played it live today! 🔥🤘🎸

First time i saw Iron Maiden live was in Thessaloniki, Greece (I am also born in a part of Greece called Macedonia), some 25 years ago. As we chanted "Alexander, Alexander" at the end of many songs, wanting to hear what we, Greek metalheads, consider our national heavy metal hymn, Blaze Bayley, the singer at the time, laughed and looked at Steve Harris. Although i was at the first row, i couldn't hear what they said, but it was something like Bayley telling Harris "haha what are they about, none of us is called Alexander and Harris responding dissapointed it's about that song we have...". I will never forget the look on both their faces... Alexander the Great is the song that i first heard from the genre and made me a metalhead and my son today is heading that way too. It holds a special place in our hearts as Greeks, because for many years our identity is under constant attack, disputing historical facts that are in the song's lyrics. Anyway, God bless you Iron Maiden, but i think, no i know that if you sing this song next time you come here in Greece, you better have good audio and video coverage of the event, cause you won't have seen anything like it before in your career...
