DevilDriver - Wasted Years Lyrics
From the coast of gold across the seven seas
I'm travelling on far and wide
But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else
I close my eyes and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is,
You never miss it till it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day
So understand
Don't waste your time always
Searching for those wasted years
And realize you're living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Cant easy this pain so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it just makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
So understand
Don't waste your time always
Searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years

DevilDriver Wasted Years Comments
Devildriver's vocalist kinda sounds like Maiden's original singer Paul Di'Anno in this.
Legit cover......sad day when this band sounds better than metallica...... Wtf is up with music today I will NVR understand I will take 68-2004 Any day great cover tho
I truly believe that DEVILDRIVER did a great awesome job on this classic Maiden song
Alucard vs Aderson
IronDriver - Wasted Years
👍👍👍👍 Good Cover
What a piece of shit is extremely disrespectful to do a shit like this with a maidens song
not too bad...
Try to sing the song instead of spit your guts man! Wasted time
XD
I think he's doing just fine, considering they're known world wide.
I respect your comment. Unfortunately, for me... To be known doesn't mean being good. But it is just my opinion.
🔥🎸🔥I LOVE THIS SONG and THIS COVER!!!! Its so true+ best lyrics EVER and !HOT!🔥 (dance-dance 🎉☕)✌🌈 have fun everyone. the vocal is funny in some way. 😉😘
This has been "auto-tuned" to hell and gone, but this cover isn't bad.
It's just fuckin screaming. Wtf
Was please try to be positive and not negative because you are only being what they're saying in the song Looking for your Wasted Years when you're being negative be positive say yes and every song isn't Gallop Gallop Gallop Gallop Gallop that's just a bad motherfuker on the basic can play with his fingers faster you can ever play with yourself done
This comment was so hard to read through, due to no punctuation AT ALL!
Love it!!
fucking love dez, love devildriver. sorry for getting booted from your show brother..
I'm so tired of hearing people bitch about the vocals. In case you fucking retards haven't noticed DEVILDRIVER doesn't use clean vocals-and we love them for that. If they used clean vocals they wouldn't be keeping to their DEVILDRIVER roots and as such the cover wouldn't be nearly as DEVILDRIVER-esqe. If you want Maiden, go listen to Maiden gramps. Jfc
Dez fucks this up
epic , epic, epiiiiccccccccc.....!!!!!!
Tribute. Cover. Unequals copying the song 100%
lol worst cover ever... shitty, shitty ridicolous voice
ROOOAAARRRR!!! Wasteeed!!ыыыыРррррЗ
This is absolutely horrible
I actually like this cover and today is literally my first day getting into DD 🤘🤘🤘
not a fan of this cover, they did put they're own spin on it at least so I respect that much
add in the In Flames cover of Murders in the Rue Morgue and it's even better ( In Flames did that cover back in the early 90s so for those fans who love Old In Flames yes it is Good!!!)
I'm just wondering..why?
J'adore !
espectacular guitarra bajo bateria y especialmente esa vos uuaaa un leon
pretty good
this is epic
I can't keep reading the comments or i'll thumbs down everything, i'm leaving. This is the worst cover i've heard in my life.
dez with black metal interpretation of an iron maiden song???
How does this even vaguely sound like black metal?
KaronteUY really? black metal???
maiden blows every song is the same.
gallop gallop gallop ...
Please don't reproduce. Please.
+Al Wilkins hell yeah maiden is the fucking shit.
Your Mom blows random disease infested men for a 12 pack of Bud Light!
ruined - so sad :(
Fucking first riff sounds like summer of Vivaldi.
la trovo bellissima....
Fucking hell another terrible cover, ridiculous growling vocals poor guitar work horrible drumming and again not enough bass. People really should stop covering Maiden songs and ruining them this is poor dog shite at best. Devildriver are a terrible band anyways as well.
+IRON MAIDEN Just because you hate Devildriver doesn't mean everyone else does. Just keep that in mind.
+IRON MAIDEN The drum was really good, but i agree with you in the rest, it sucks.
choke ass dumpling stop fucking goats and open your ears the killed it just as machine head killed hallowed be thy name great covers this is hard metal don't like it fuck of back to the 70's hippie fuck
@Josh Jackson Hard metal, LMFAO it is about as hard as Justin Bieber. This is just shit plain and simple. What Devildriver have done as well as that other piece of shit band Machinehead have is ruined classics. They are both truly awful bands.
Iron maiden is one of my favourite bands but a cover isn't always about duplicating the original, it's about recreating and adding personal style and touches. You're to close minded to understand that though, you're one of those fans stuck in the 80's that hate anything not iron maiden like the slayer and Metallica fans that hate everything else. The guitar work is excellent, drums are yeah meh but the drummer is actually very good. Bass doesn't have to be iron maiden bass, and vocals? He's not Dickinson lol how many people who are in a band like devil driver can sing like Bruce can as well?
free mind...learn to engrish :D
How to waste a very beautiful song, ... with a ridicolous voice!
Free Mind yeah. Even the original sounded better and it’s singer sounded like drunk Skeletor.
Such metal haters! If you hate Dez Fafara and Maiden I don't even know what you are doing here.
Far better than the original.
I agree it's better than the original imo
Not even close...it's different though.
April fools!
Are u fucking stupid?
very good cover
nicely done...tribute it was and it is to one of the greatest metal bands...
music and lyrics are what makes songs listening, time and again...
"...i close my eyes and think of home another city goes by in the night....and my heart is lying there and will be till my dying day..."
I F***ing LOVE Iron Maiden!!!
This is an awesome cover.
Better than original
Awesome, unique, heavy ass cover of a song from an album and a band that changed my life literally. Good f'n job DD...tho I can't give u better than the original props bc that would just be gd redundant lol.
FUCKING AWESOME !!!!
Brilliance
Great cover i love iron n devil
Lol..good to hear someone do the song properly
fav !!!
Like it :)
Awesome!!
Turn up the bass Devildriver!
Just kidding the bass part is off during some parts. Who'd want to hear that?!
Iron Maiden brought me here xD
This <3
That's your opinion, take it and shove it up your ass fucktard
Good cover, nice vocals. Des Fafara!!! lml
The vocals fit. End. Of. Story.
Its a great cover but no Maiden cover is going to be better than the original
Take your opinion and shove it up your ass, the vocals are amazing, so fucking powerful.. this cover wouldn't be so awesome without those vocals... so, fuck off.
The comments are where you put your opinion, fucktard
The vocals fucking ruin it. The instruments ain't bad though
No its not, i liked it but not even near the original...
Bitch about it smwhere else..no1 gives a flying fuck about ur opinions
got dam this goes hard
MUY DELICIOSO GRACIAS MY FIREND POR SUBIRLOS
That's the point in a cover, If you made it the same what would be the fucking point? It's a twist on the original it's awesome and flawless.
Horrid. Not enough bad descriptors in the English language for me to accurately convey how much I hate that cover. The band does an admirable job at the music but those vocals are pitiful.
I reckon they're great in the verses, and not bad in the chorus
Holy Fuck, never really listened to Devildriver before but this is a great cover
your not the only one dude and well said \m/
I actually like dez faffara vocals, it is a great cover song.
So much for free speech.
Are you for North Korea?
Even better tnah the original
Great sound.... but I personally don't like the screaming....
Sou fã do Maiden, mas também curto vocal gutural. Esse cover ficou muito bom, quem não curtiu é porque não curte esse gênero de musica.
The whole point of a cover is to take someones song and make it your own by adding your style. If they didnt do their vocals like this it wouldnt be devildriver
The style of singing doesn't really fit the feel of the song. Overall the end product isn't too bad, just the singing needs to be different for this kind of song. :3
You would probably say that about any song that is sung in this style though, which begs the question, why listen if you hate it?
Whoooww... Point Made.
Some people need a high five,
In the face.
With a chair.
And now, please enjoy the music.
Amaizing.... a death metal version!
as much as i like the original, this version makes it feel more upbeat and gives it such a good live feel!
Worst maiden's tribute ever
Guitar - Great
Bass - Great
Drums - Great
Vocals - Fucking Terrible,
(The vocals ruined what could have been an amazing cover)
GameCorpse you sir have no taste. This cover is simply badass. Dez's vocals are perfect!
Dez Fafara is awesome. This guy just doesn't know his metal.
i fuckin love the vocals. dont understand whats bad about them
Maiden are my favorite band of all time, and DD are one of my favorite bands of this genre. I gotta say this cover is absolutely killer.
Awesome cover of a classic maiden track , nice and heavy as well .
does maiden proud!!!! <3 it..
It's fucking brilliant cover!
nice guitar, horrible vocals.
amazing!!!! devildriver rules! :)
It is an awesome cover.. what a lot of people don't understand is the band doing the "cover" may be a different "genre" which devildriver is.. iron maiden is a classic metal band.. devildriver is a much heavier thrash-y type band... so obviously the song will be different, and i agree it kicks so much ass. it reminds me of the in flames cover of land of confusion by genesis.. they did it in their own style at the time, It may not be to some peoples liking.. but genesis is a pop/rock band so yea
metalcore and melodeath have clean vocals infused in some or most songs.. devildriver has none of those
Devildriver is post thrash.. aka groove metal, end of story.. always have been, always will be ( until dez loses his voice)
wtf is this utter bullshit lol
sounds ridiculous, what a slap in the face to Iron Maiden
to agrresive ...... I LOVE IT!!!
let up on the screamin' a little bit just for this song..an you got a jem..look at killswitch with holy diver..
started off good til he started screaming. i like devildriver, but they really fucked the dog on this one.
DevilDriver is fkn awesome ..
Honestly, I think the only thing DevilDriver really brought to the table was Dez's vocals. You can't really make this song any harder. I mean the drums hit harder and the riffs are heavier, but this is one of those songs you just don't monkey with too much. They did a great job with it IMHO.
Am I the only person with musical taste looking at this video? I love Iron Maiden to death, but seriously, If you don't like this awesome cover you don't need to comment. You should have taken that last turn at Albuquerque and gone down "Fgt Lane" and taken your opinions with you.
