This is the difference between music back in the day and now. No backing tracks, no auto tune. Just raw talent. Maiden has had a huge world wide following for 40 years for a reason.
There are still a bunch of bands like this today who just go up on stage and play their shit. So many good metal bands out there today they just aren’t as popular these days.
The man behind the drums was Mr. Clive Burr who tragically died of multiple sclerosis at the young age of 56, great drummer, best person, God bless him.
@@rodjapavlik5730That's probably what I meant when I said true Maiden fans could tell the difference but I couldn't put my finger on it. I have to agree that his drumming was smoother
You wouldn't believe how much fun you would have at an Iron Maiden concert. They blow everyone away every single time. They're legendary and I can't wait to see them again this year in November! Also, vocalist Bruce Dickinson is not only a singer, but a pilot, champion fencer and throat cancer survivor. He flies the band on tour. He's basically a total badass!
I'm also seeing them this November for the first time. Nov 16 Tacoma Dome. I'll see you there if that's your venue. Can't wait. Wish I would've seen them in the 80s though when them and I were younger.
The fact that this song still gives me chills after thousands of listens speaks volumes of this band for me. One of the best if not the best heavy metal bands ever!
Bruce Dickenson is the vocalist and had earned the nickname of "The Human Air Raid Siren", for his powerful voice. He has for many years now been considered to be one of the top metal vocalists. I have seen Maiden live 3 times in my life, and what you will always get is energy personified, even at their current ages. You can see it in their performances that they are having fun and also love the fans, as you can also see! They are one of those bands that are better live then studio. Another standout live performance is: Fear of the Dark (live from Rock in Rio). and Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Live Flight 666) which is a long one. But they are great storytellers as you will see in their music!
Finally!! I’m so pleased that you have decided to listen to one of the greatest and influential metal bands of all time. Every member of that band (including current members) are masters of their craft and their live performances are even better than the studio versions, and the studio albums are phenomenal. If you could also take a peek at Judas Priest as well I think you’d have everything you’d ever need!
@@Damien.Young46 you're right for any band other than Iron Maiden. You're also the only person I've ever seen say that the studio version is better for Iron Maiden.
A Fantastic live performance is also to be had with "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from the Flight 666 concert. They are a lot older but it is seriously epic, you will be blown away x2.
In my opinion the version of Live After Death in '85 is superior in speed, deployment of the musicians and accuracy of the sound, as well as in its staging (I am referring to the style of filming the concert, which is more cinematic). Furthermore, the musicians were at their best, Bruce's voice sounded at full strength and it was the tour's presentation of the song itself. But I can understand that so many people recommend Flight 666 because it is more modern (perhaps) and as a curiosity of how the band remained at a very high level to this day (although said tour is already 16 years old since it was carried out). ).
Iron Maiden ARE heavy metal. Going on a musical journey without including Iron Maiden is like studying astronomy and missing out the sun. Well done. Loved the reaction
I’ve probably listened to “Hallowed be Thy Name” over a hundred times and it never gets old for me. It’s such a moving song, musically and narratively-a condemned person looking towards Heaven and ultimate atonement.
I'm so glad she showed Clive Burr some love. Nicko is awesome but so many people forget that Clive was the drummer on these earlier albums and, as a professional musician myself, he was an absolute beast. Heartbreakingly, he died in 2013 after a very long battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
I introduced my mother to Iron Maiden at age 65, it is one of her favorite bands now along with Unleash the Archers. She was sad she slept on these guys as long as she did, good to see you finding them earlier than she did.
Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Iron Maiden is an incredible band. I have seen them in concert during 5 decades, 80's to present. Iron Maiden also did the soundtrack to the car racing wrecking game called Carmageddon. They generally don't write songs about your typical stuff. Most is written about history, movies, books or personal events. This song was written about the emotional/spiritual journey a man condemned to death goes thru in his personal relationship with a higher power. With the end of the song being the drums doing the kicking motion after a hanging. Other live songs worth hearing: 'Fear of the Dark' at Rock in Rio. Just a small crowd of 250,000 mostly non English speaking Brazilians showing how a crowd is supposed to physically and spiritually lift a band during a concert. Its jaw dropping and awe inspiring. Other notable songs: Phantom of the Opera (not from the musical); Run to the Hills; Children of the Damned; The Prisoner; Number of the Beast; Still Life; Flight of Icarus; 22 Acacia Avenue; Revelations; 2 Minutes to Midnight; Rime of the Ancient Mariner; The Trooper; Power Slave; Stranger in a Strange Land; Alexander the Great; more recent songs: The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg; Dance of Death; For the Greater Good of God; Ghost of the Navigator; The Writing on the Wall recorded just a few years ago. I came nowhere near listing all the great and amazing songs. Just listed a few off the top of my head. Thanks for finding the rabbit hole that is Iron Maiden. In concert they are the best band I have ever heard. The musicianship is unmatched. Bruce's vocals even now as he is aging and surviving throat cancer are still top notch. Not the same as the 80's but still amazing. His crowd work is also unmatched. Chris
Hey Stacey. I'm stoked that you liked this song and the band. This is the track I use to introduce someone to Iron Maiden. They do write shorter songs, but are really better known for their epics. The vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, attained his vocals and singing style from studying theatre as he performed in many theatrical plays throughout his educational years. During Iron Maiden concerts on specific songs, Bruce will even make a costume change and portray a character that the theme of the song centres around. He is also one of the rarest lead vocalists that can actually run around all over the stage, whilst still singing perfectly. He is only just starting to slow down a bit now at the age of 65. Most of the bands subject matter for their songs tends to be based on history, literature and the human psyche.
Welcome to the family, I've been a Maiden fan for 40 years, they're still touring despite being in their 60s & 70s! And they still have this energy that most bands would kill for. Good choice of song for your introduction. Check out Rime of the Ancient Mariner from 2008 tour, you won't be disappointed. Great reaction. #UpTheIrons 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
You had a big smile on your face for the most part of the song. The same smile most fans of Iron Maiden have for many years of listening their music. Welcome to the band.
I've been an Iron Maiden metalhead since 1980. They have a massive catalog of songs that would take hours, if not days, to explore. They are the epidemy of heavy metal music.
I bought my first Iron Maiden tape when I was 13 - in 1983 - I believe my current Iron Maiden Album/EP/Live/Box Set count is 67 recordings. Iron Maiden is literally the soundtrack to my life. I have seen them in the 80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's - 4 seperate decades, looking to add 2020's to this for 5 decades. Their live shows are spiritual and balance my soul. Up the irons! 🤘
I saw that show twice in 1982 in Cleveland Oh. Giving my age away. Iron Maiden was my favorite band growing up and they have only got better with time. Very unique metal band with great song writing and musicianship. You'll love them!
You need to add this song to your workout playlist! This is my favorite song, from my favorite Heavy Metal Band. Iron Maiden has been making great music for over 40-years. They are still touring! They are doing concerts in Fort Worth and San Antonio, TX this November. Check out their song, "Where Eagles Dare". UP THE IRONS!!!🤘😎🤘
Knowing He's about to die, the five final stages of grief run through this man: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. At the end it's desperation....🤘
these guys are just so tight live. the greatest band of all time in my opinion honestly. huge back catalogue. probably at least 40 absolute bangers and their first 7 albums are just perfection. their energy is my life force
Great reaction!!! As an Iron Maiden fan since high school in the early 80's, it was fun watching your reaction. IMO the greatest heavy metal band of all time. They have a ton of songs to explore and enjoy. Best to listen to them live in concert, especially in South America. Check out Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Fear of the Dark, Aces High, Run to the Hills, Number of the Beast, Phantom of the Opera live from Sweden. And so many more its hard to explain. Enjoy and Up the Irons!!
First of all, thank you for reacting to my favorite rock band! Fan since 1983! (this video you've just watched was taken from a famous concert they performed one year before I get to know their amazing music). Second, this was a nice reaction and you're smart enough to realize you got a long journey with Iron Maiden, for they're such an awesome band with many great hits. If you want to get to know them better, I got some informations for you: nowadays, their drummer is such an amazing one - Nicko McBrain (R.I.P., Clive Burr!); they got no more 2, but 3 guitarists; they've just released a new album some years ago ("Senjutsu" - 2021) and they'll be on tour this year ("The Future Past Tour"). Basic informations: their leader is the bass guitarist, Steve Harris, one of the greatest EVER in Rock History! And, in my opinion, he is the best heavy metal songwriter! He's been the composer of most of Maiden's songs. The vocalist you enjoyed so much, Bruce Dickinson, composes some songs too, and he is graduated in History, PHD in Egyptology, and he is also a pilot, having driven many times the "Ed Force One", the plane Iron Maiden uses to travel from one country to the other one when they're on tour. Regarding to your next Maiden's reaction...if you want to be surprised and get goosebumps once again, I got a perfect suggestion for you: "Rime of the ancient mariner" (based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge). Some other fine suggestions: "Fear of the dark"; "Wasted years"; "The trooper"; "The number of the beast"; "Aces High"; "Infinite dreams"; "Stranger in a strange land"; and "The writing on the wall" from their latest album (the official music video). Have a nice iron journey and... Up the irons! 🤘
Up the irons! They are still touring and Bruce is even more theatrical now. He dons costumes for various songs. They just put out their 17th studio album last year.
❤ Iron Maiden is listen to best watching their live show videos. Although the studio version is great you'll never get close to the live show. They are the standard that all bands should strive to be 😂
This is one of my top three favorite live video performances, along with Rush's Xanadu and Metallica's Enter Sandman in Moscow after the fall of the iron curtain.
I think that for a older man (became 66 years old on august 7 / 2024) and the fact that he has gone through cancer of the tongue and lymph nodes, then he sounds great, don't you agree? Bruce Dickinson is an ICON and so is the rest of the band members of Iron Maiden, he has great breath control and voice control. One thing that makes his voice even better, that is if you realize that he had cancer of the tongue and lymph nodes. A lump “the size of a golf ball” was found on the back of his tongue and still he can sing like that, wow right? Dickinson had the tumor removed in 2015. Since then, he’s noticed a world of difference. “When it went away, I guess there's a lot more space for the sound come out!,” the front man proclaimed. “Not to put too fine a point on it, but there's no more obstruction in the way, you know? So yeah, with the high notes I was like, ‘Wow! Whoosh!’ There's a lot more horsepower in some of the high notes, which is interesting.” Not to bad by a older guy, you might want to read about his tongue and lymph nodes cancer, right, so here is the link to it: faroutmagazine.co.uk/bruce-dickinson-iron-maiden-cancer-battle-im-lucky/ . Knowing that he is over 60 years here and the he already had cancer of the tongue and lymph nodes, that makes his voice even more amazing, right? Bruce is also a licesend Pilot and a really good Fencer !!
Great that you picked up on the bass early on in the song. That's Steve Harris, one of the founding members of the band. His style of playing is very unique and drives most of the band's songs in such a way. His bass sound is iconic in the Metal World. It's usually very prominent in their sound mixes as you heard here. Don't know if other Maiden fans do this but I often play along with him with my Air Bass. Oh, I should add that I've been a fan of the band since about 1988, when their 7th album came out. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. "Hallowed be thy Name" was on their 3rd album, 1982's "Number of the Beast." "Phantom of the Opera" is NOT a cover of what you think it is. It's their own song from their 1980 self-titled debut album. A song I think you should definitely check out is "The Red and the Black" from their 2015 album (and tour) "The Book of Souls." It's a long one at about 14 minutes, but it's got some great guitrar solos and harmonies that just showcase their talent. Funny little fact abouf the band is that after their 1988 album "Seventh Son", their guitarist Adrian Smith left the band and Janick Gers replaced him. Then after the 1992 album and "Fear of the Dark" tour, the vocalist Bruce Dickinson left too to focus on acsolo career. However after putting out two albums with Blaze Bayley on vocals in the mid 90s, both Bruce and Adrian came back to the band for a new album in 2000 called "Brave New World." But instead of kicking Janick out, they kept him, and Maiden has had 3 guitarists ever since. Janick is a real pleasure to watch too. He's running and jumping on stage, but never misses the beat with his playing. The video for "The Red and the Black" (Live) shows him off pretty well.
Here we are! This is where the fun begins :) Up the Irons and heavy metal forever! Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are my favourite metal bands of all time ;) Enjoy Stacey :)
Very nice reaction Stacey. Glad you got to Iron Bloody Maiden :) My first listen was in 1984 when a friend lended me his Piece of Mind cassette. First song I heard was Where Eagles Dare. Couldn't believe my ears! Just a whole new and different sound that I never heard before. I was 100% hooked on these guys at that very point. They're a class band too. And smart, well read, more than just metal heads. And by all accounts pretty damn good people too. Have had the pleasure of seeing them live 3 times. They're so good. Next one for you, suggestion: Fear of the Dark...live. All the best to you on your Maiden journey. Up The Irons!!! ✌😊🤘
I saw them twice on this tour (Beast On The Road Tour) back in 1982. The first time they opened for the Scorpions then the second time they headlined. I still have my program.
This was recorded at Hammersmith in London on 20th March 1982 as part of the tour to promote the album this song was on. The album was released 2 days later on 22nd March so it was a totally new song to the audience. The album was only recorded in the January/February so 8-10 weeks earlier. You said you could be listening to the studio version - this is very similar as this was only the 19th or 20th show of the tour since recording it.
You picked an excellent song to start your Iron Maiden journey... Great reaction as well))) These guys are so tight when they are on stage it's like you would hear on the studio version only actually better)).. They are without a doubt a 15 out of 10 with each performance video I seen.. I never been to a concert but unforunatelly I missed them 3 times on their Piece Of Mind our. The first in St. Louis in 1985, the second was in Illinois, they played near Chicago I believe the night before I graduated boot camp, then the third times was in Oakland , California they played I found the same night I arrived in California.... 3 times on the same tour missed them... The bad part is I had a ticket for the first one but had to sell my ticket to pay a couple of fines before leaving for boot camp.😭.. You are starting a wonderful metal journey Stacey... Here's a suggestion for future reaction, it's a bit lengthy but awesome song & worth the listen.. Here you go: Iron Maiden 1985 - The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - Live at Long Beach Arena.... If you wonder how one misses the same band in concert 3 times on the same tour- Shitty timing or shitty luck((
just raw and natural talent, no technology cheating, late drummer Mr. Clive Burr at the top of his game here, I´m a fan since 1986 when I heard them for the first time
I love Iron Maiden but haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them live. My father had in the 80’s and told me stories about Bruce during the show. He said that he was incredibly energetic the whole time. Running around and hopping on top of tall stacks of speakers like it was nothing. On another note, if your curious to hear another version of this song, try watching the cover by Cradle of Filth (Black Metal) 🖤
I'm glad you finally got around to Maiden! I gave you a pretty long list of suggestions after you reacted to Sabaton. Maiden regularly uses history, mythology, literature, and movies as the basis for their songs. You should do "Fear of the Dark" from Rock in Rio next, or "The Trooper, " from En Vivo.
Sweetie, I have seen iron maiden live. It's like watching a soccer match while they're playing the instruments and singing at the same time. That kind of energy. I can name forever songs. You need to check out first off. I dare you. Beautiful to listen to the whole album power slave. You could do the same thing with the number. The beastdalbum piece of mind, almum are my 3 favorite, but they've got great albums dating all the way up. To the present time bruce still sounds great in his seventhere will never be another iron maiden
Amazing reaction your excitement for them is awesome. They are an amazing band definitely any reactions must be love shows they sound amazing and always put on a great show. Pure performers. Keep up the great work
"Alexander The Great" by Iron Maiden is even more epic masterpiece! If this song is classic heavy metal, then Alexander The Great is pure progressive! Strongly recommended! Just don't stop please, it'such a journey)
Bruce, in addition to being a one of the best vocalists and performers in metal, is an author and novelist, a screenwriter, a radio DJ, a TV presenter and producer, a commercial airline pilot flying Boeing 757 and 737, a successful Entrepreneur including building an aircraft maintenance company, a pilot training company, and a brewery. He's also a champion fencer that competed internationally amongst other talents.
A beautiful gal opening her mind to the magic of Metal. This kind of thing, my friends, are what dreams are made of. 🤩🥰🤭 Look extremely forward to the journey, m'lady. 🤘☺️💜
Once saw Iron Maiden and Queensryche together, back to back. This was before Queensryche self-destructed. I can't even describe it -- such enormity of talent in one place, on one stage. Brilliant is an understatement. Totally exhausted by the end of the night. Thank you, Chicago, illinois, for the best concert of my life.
Been a Maiden fan since 1982, and as good as Iron Maiden's albums have been, I always felt that they are so much better Live. This video was from 1982, check out their newer live shows, especially from South America. Those crowds are rabid Maiden fans. And these guys, even though they are now in their 60's, the drummer is 71, their energy level is still through the roof, and are still putting on phenomenal shows.
Oi Stacey, você descobriu o Iron Maiden e nunca mais sua vida musical será como antes. Tenho 48 anos e ouço maiden todo dia desde os 10 anos quando o descobri. Essa música em especial é considerada uma da 5 maiores musicas de metal de todos os tempos por algumas revistas de metal. Parabéns pela descoberta. Se puder, ouça Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, ou a última musica lamçada Hell on Earth. Hi Stacey, you discovered Iron Maiden and your musical life will never be the same again. I'm 48 years old and I've been listening to Maiden every day since I was 10 when I discovered it. This song in particular is considered one of the 5 greatest metal songs of all time by some metal magazines. Congratulations on the discovery. If you can, listen to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, or the latest released song Hell on Earth.
It is so nice to watch theses reacting video of the younger generation enjoy the music that I grew up with.. and just remember this is all pure raw talent .. no auto tone or anything.. great reaction keep them up..
You have reacted to 2 of my all time favorite band and live bands. Pink Floyd and now Iron Maiden. Great reaction. Lots more from iron maiden. Rime of the Ancient Mariners is epic
Hello Stacey and welcome to the Iron Maiden universe! I did the same in 1982, when I was 16 with the same album, „The Number of The Beast“. „Hallowed be thy Name“ was also my favourite song then. After listening to the whole album i was infected with the „Maiden Virus“. It is diffucult to suggest songs because every song on their early albums is unique. So my suggestion is to listen to the whole albums „The Number of the Beast“, „Peace of Mind“ and „Powerslave“ to see how different they are. Another idea is to listen to their live albums „Live after Death“ and „Rock in Rio“ from 1985 and 2002. You will find older and newer songs there and get an impression how the band and their music developed. You‘ll find all these albums on the Iron Maiden UA-cam channel. So, have lots of fun and keep rocking! Greetings from Germany! Michael
@StaceyRPG: Nice that you finally got around to one of the premier performances of the 1980s! Put it this way: Iron Maiden performing Hallowed Be Thy Name in 1982 was like Nightwish performing Ghost Love Score in 2013. It was one of, if not _the,_ iconic performance of the 1980s. What you don't know is that this performance is, being done in 1982, older than me -- and I just turned 41 a little less than a month ago. Having said that, this song is about a condemned man who is living the final hours of his life. As the song begins, he's reminded that the clock is striking 5 pm. Thus, he now walks out from his cell to the prison courtyard, to the courtyard gallows, where he will be hung. As he walks, he goes through the five stages of grief, until at the end, he accepts his fate, and shouts out to the sky, "Hallowed be Thy Name!" As you mentioned about the drumming, the tempo was speeding up -- his heart rate increasing as he walks towards what he knows as his death. So you weren't just hearing that. It's similar to the Sabaton song "Final Solution" having the drums sound like the "click-clack" of rail cars in trains that were on the way to places like Auschwitz during the Second World War. As for Bruce Dickinson, this was very early on in his career with Iron Maiden. And, funny enough, nobody in the crowd had even heard this song yet, as the album dropped two days after this concert. So even the people in the crowd were hearing Hallowed Be Thy Name for the first time. And Iron Maiden, being who they are, has influenced bands and singers since the 1980s. Bands like Sabaton and Nightwish. Singers like Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers. And even more than the singing, Iron Maiden's iconic double-bass drum "gallop" has been used by many bands, including Unleash the Archers in songs like Ten Thousand Against One and Apex. But Maiden is a journey -- and like the Beatles, has been one of the few non-American bands to consistently be on American rock radio from the 1980s.
Hands down best live show you will ever see ..... they put on a show ,very theatrical ....Talent goes without saying ! The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Live you must check out they have a few vids to choose from cant go wrong with any .. Keep Rockin Stacey !!
Every once in awhile you come across a GREAT bass player. Once a decade you come across an EPIC bassist. Once in a life time you see a LEGENDARY bassist. Then....there is THE bass GOD...Steve Harris. Legend has it his mom had to have a C section when Steve was born as the bass wouldnt fit down the birth canal.
I don't care how far you have to travel, you need to see them live. This tour featured in this video was my first exposure to them, I must have seen them 30 times since then and have never been disappointed. Also when you get to songs like The Trooper (based off the poem The Charge of The Light Brigade) or the musical version of The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner make sure you do the live version made more recently and keep in mind when listening to Bruce sing he survived throat cancer and sounds even better than he did before. Loved your reaction, just subbed for more
This is the difference between music back in the day and now. No backing tracks, no auto tune. Just raw talent. Maiden has had a huge world wide following for 40 years for a reason.
Don't forget filters and CGI they are basically not real just pretty actors.
100% right Sir ......... 🤘 up the Irons from Germany 🍻
There are still a bunch of bands like this today who just go up on stage and play their shit. So many good metal bands out there today they just aren’t as popular these days.
Overdubbing in the old live albums..
Lot of great stuff going on, bu UP THE IRONS!
The man behind the drums was Mr. Clive Burr who tragically died of multiple sclerosis at the young age of 56, great drummer, best person, God bless him.
Clive was a great drummer and Nicko was a perfect replacement. True Maiden fans can tell the difference, though. Up the Irons!
R.I.P Clive Burr
I always liked the drumming of Clive Burr more than Nicko McBrains one. It felt a lot smoother. (And I like Nicko McBrain.)
Love Nicko, but Clive just had a feel for the music. I think Number of the Beast is their best album because it had Clive and Bruce.
@@rodjapavlik5730That's probably what I meant when I said true Maiden fans could tell the difference but I couldn't put my finger on it. I have to agree that his drumming was smoother
You wouldn't believe how much fun you would have at an Iron Maiden concert. They blow everyone away every single time. They're legendary and I can't wait to see them again this year in November!
Also, vocalist Bruce Dickinson is not only a singer, but a pilot, champion fencer and throat cancer survivor. He flies the band on tour. He's basically a total badass!
WOW!!! he sounds incredible! a jack of all trades
@@StaceyRPGReactsHe totally is and if you ever get the chance, please see them live. You will love it!
@@StaceyRPGReactsgoogle “Iron Maiden plane”
I'm also seeing them this November for the first time. Nov 16 Tacoma Dome. I'll see you there if that's your venue. Can't wait. Wish I would've seen them in the 80s though when them and I were younger.
Does Bruce still tour with Iron Maiden? I remember he is pretty old now. Most frontmen have retired
The greatest metal song ever recorded. And its live!
No Auto tune, no digital looped beats, all raw , all musicianship....all IRON MAIDEN!!!
True, but there are better versions!
Up the irons!
@moonchildah yep! For me, the Flight 666 version is the best one.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the greatest metal song ever for me. This is second. Both amazing songs.
Mr. Bruce "Airsiren" Dickinson. One of the best Metal Singers for more than 40 years 🤘 Greetings from Germany.
Air raid siren Is his nickname. Greetings from Italy 🤟🤟🤟
@@claudioferraro1652You‘re right, I miss the „raid“🙈
Never heard that moniker, but I like it. Dude has pipes.
He's one of the greatest singers of all time period.
@@claudioferraro1652 "The" Air Raid Siren.Greetings from Holland.
The fact that this song still gives me chills after thousands of listens speaks volumes of this band for me. One of the best if not the best heavy metal bands ever!
One of the greatest heavy metal songs ever written!!
Correction: It is the greatest heavy metal song ever written and performed. 😁
Bruce Dickenson is the vocalist and had earned the nickname of "The Human Air Raid Siren", for his powerful voice. He has for many years now been considered to be one of the top metal vocalists. I have seen Maiden live 3 times in my life, and what you will always get is energy personified, even at their current ages. You can see it in their performances that they are having fun and also love the fans, as you can also see! They are one of those bands that are better live then studio. Another standout live performance is: Fear of the Dark (live from Rock in Rio). and Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Live Flight 666) which is a long one. But they are great storytellers as you will see in their music!
Check it out Raphael Mendes, he has the 90's Dickinson voice
Oh she has no idea what she stumbled upon 🤭
absolute metal Heaven...and welcome she is.
I'm not even a huge fan of that style of music, but Iron Maiden had an anomaly which is 7 albums in a row that are perfect, no filler among them.
Iron Maiden is gonna get you!!
🤟Up The Irons!! 🤟 Fan since '84!
My first concert as a 13 yo kid Maiden Powerslave in 84 \m/
@@tukkerintensity5575Powerslave is my favourite Bruce album!🏴
Here too the 80s were surreal.
Fought my way to the first row Powerslave tour. 13 years old. First time I made sure I was in front of a bass player. 🤟
Finally!! I’m so pleased that you have decided to listen to one of the greatest and influential metal bands of all time. Every member of that band (including current members) are masters of their craft and their live performances are even better than the studio versions, and the studio albums are phenomenal. If you could also take a peek at Judas Priest as well I think you’d have everything you’d ever need!
Hard to go wrong with Iron Maiden. Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (live) is great.
Yes
Flieht 666 version!
Definitely the Flight 666 version!
Studio is better.. just a fact
@@Damien.Young46 you're right for any band other than Iron Maiden. You're also the only person I've ever seen say that the studio version is better for Iron Maiden.
And this is their energy during an encore . They had already been playing , and singing , for up to 3 hrs .
A Fantastic live performance is also to be had with "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from the Flight 666 concert. They are a lot older but it is seriously epic, you will be blown away x2.
Older, but much much better
In my opinion the version of Live After Death in '85 is superior in speed, deployment of the musicians and accuracy of the sound, as well as in its staging (I am referring to the style of filming the concert, which is more cinematic). Furthermore, the musicians were at their best, Bruce's voice sounded at full strength and it was the tour's presentation of the song itself. But I can understand that so many people recommend Flight 666 because it is more modern (perhaps) and as a curiosity of how the band remained at a very high level to this day (although said tour is already 16 years old since it was carried out). ).
I second the Live After Death version, I wore out the grooves on that album when I was 13!
I like the live after death version more ngl
Hell yeah
They've filled stadiums all over the world for 40 years and with virtually not radio airplay. The more you learn about them the more you love them ❤️
Dave and Adrian playing guitar like they are just going to the office, "Yeah, we are Iron Maiden... Ho hum." Dude is even in his blazer. Greatness.
Iron Maiden ARE heavy metal. Going on a musical journey without including Iron Maiden is like studying astronomy and missing out the sun. Well done. Loved the reaction
The one problem with Maiden reactions, is NO ONE ever notices Steve Harris' bass.
2:24 "Love the bass in the back" She noticed
As Bruce once said, Steve pops up everywhere on stage - he is noticed, mark my words!
They think it’s drums
Mr iron maiden himself. Without him there would be no iron maiden
The amount of power and range Bruce has is insane. A true legend in the music community
What hooked me in 1983 when I first heard them was the story telling within their music.
Been a fan for over 40 years.
I’ve probably listened to “Hallowed be Thy Name” over a hundred times and it never gets old for me. It’s such a moving song, musically and narratively-a condemned person looking towards Heaven and ultimate atonement.
I'm so glad she showed Clive Burr some love. Nicko is awesome but so many people forget that Clive was the drummer on these earlier albums and, as a professional musician myself, he was an absolute beast. Heartbreakingly, he died in 2013 after a very long battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
Clive Burr is an underrated drummer!
I introduced my mother to Iron Maiden at age 65, it is one of her favorite bands now along with Unleash the Archers. She was sad she slept on these guys as long as she did, good to see you finding them earlier than she did.
Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Iron Maiden is an incredible band. I have seen them in concert during 5 decades, 80's to present. Iron Maiden also did the soundtrack to the car racing wrecking game called Carmageddon. They generally don't write songs about your typical stuff. Most is written about history, movies, books or personal events. This song was written about the emotional/spiritual journey a man condemned to death goes thru in his personal relationship with a higher power. With the end of the song being the drums doing the kicking motion after a hanging. Other live songs worth hearing: 'Fear of the Dark' at Rock in Rio. Just a small crowd of 250,000 mostly non English speaking Brazilians showing how a crowd is supposed to physically and spiritually lift a band during a concert. Its jaw dropping and awe inspiring.
Other notable songs: Phantom of the Opera (not from the musical); Run to the Hills; Children of the Damned; The Prisoner; Number of the Beast; Still Life; Flight of Icarus; 22 Acacia Avenue; Revelations; 2 Minutes to Midnight; Rime of the Ancient Mariner; The Trooper; Power Slave; Stranger in a Strange Land; Alexander the Great; more recent songs: The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg; Dance of Death; For the Greater Good of God; Ghost of the Navigator; The Writing on the Wall recorded just a few years ago.
I came nowhere near listing all the great and amazing songs. Just listed a few off the top of my head.
Thanks for finding the rabbit hole that is Iron Maiden. In concert they are the best band I have ever heard. The musicianship is unmatched. Bruce's vocals even now as he is aging and surviving throat cancer are still top notch. Not the same as the 80's but still amazing. His crowd work is also unmatched.

Live performances are the way to go with iron maiden. As you say they are impeccable live.
They are an incredible bunch of talented musicians. RIP Clive Burr ( Drummer ) on this video xx
Fear of the dark ( Rock in Rio ) is an epic live performance ! 🤘🏼😀
Hey Stacey. I'm stoked that you liked this song and the band. This is the track I use to introduce someone to Iron Maiden. They do write shorter songs, but are really better known for their epics. The vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, attained his vocals and singing style from studying theatre as he performed in many theatrical plays throughout his educational years. During Iron Maiden concerts on specific songs, Bruce will even make a costume change and portray a character that the theme of the song centres around. He is also one of the rarest lead vocalists that can actually run around all over the stage, whilst still singing perfectly. He is only just starting to slow down a bit now at the age of 65. Most of the bands subject matter for their songs tends to be based on history, literature and the human psyche.
7:23. Yeah! The two guitarists here, Dave and Adrian, they know each other since they were kids. They have an incredible alchemy together.
Welcome to the family, I've been a Maiden fan for 40 years, they're still touring despite being in their 60s & 70s! And they still have this energy that most bands would kill for.
Good choice of song for your introduction. Check out Rime of the Ancient Mariner from 2008 tour, you won't be disappointed.
Great reaction.
#UpTheIrons 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This Drummer! Clive Burr god bless him!! what a performance xxxx
You had a big smile on your face for the most part of the song. The same smile most fans of Iron Maiden have for many years of listening their music. Welcome to the band.
Iron Maiden if one of the very few bands that sopunds better live than in a studio. Keep it up Stacey! So many great songs 🤘
I've been an Iron Maiden metalhead since 1980. They have a massive catalog of songs that would take hours, if not days, to explore. They are the epidemy of heavy metal music.
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera - Live at Download Festival 2013 🤘🏻🤘🏻 🔥
I bought my first Iron Maiden tape when I was 13 - in 1983 - I believe my current Iron Maiden Album/EP/Live/Box Set count is 67 recordings. Iron Maiden is literally the soundtrack to my life. I have seen them in the 80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's - 4 seperate decades, looking to add 2020's to this for 5 decades. Their live shows are spiritual and balance my soul. Up the irons! 🤘
Same here 🤘
Welcome to the Iron Maiden's Universe. I send a big hug from El Salvador.
I saw that show twice in 1982 in Cleveland Oh. Giving my age away. Iron Maiden was my favorite band growing up and they have only got better with time. Very unique metal band with great song writing and musicianship. You'll love them!
I saw the tour in Ipswich, England (I was 12) so you're not alone. Cheers.
Damn yr old. I wasnt old enough
You need to add this song to your workout playlist! This is my favorite song, from my favorite Heavy Metal Band. Iron Maiden has been making great music for over 40-years. They are still touring! They are doing concerts in Fort Worth and San Antonio, TX this November. Check out their song, "Where Eagles Dare". UP THE IRONS!!!🤘😎🤘
Knowing He's about to die, the five final stages of grief run through this man: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. At the end it's desperation....🤘
Arguably one of the greatest bands of all time, or ever will be!
The more you listen, the more you'll love them.
these guys are just so tight live. the greatest band of all time in my opinion honestly. huge back catalogue. probably at least 40 absolute bangers and their first 7 albums are just perfection. their energy is my life force
Great reaction!!! As an Iron Maiden fan since high school in the early 80's, it was fun watching your reaction. IMO the greatest heavy metal band of all time. They have a ton of songs to explore and enjoy. Best to listen to them live in concert, especially in South America. Check out Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Fear of the Dark, Aces High, Run to the Hills, Number of the Beast, Phantom of the Opera live from Sweden. And so many more its hard to explain. Enjoy and Up the Irons!!
Welcome to the Maiden experience. I've been a Maiden fan since 81, and I still get chills listening to them. Up the Irons..! 🤘🤘🤘
First of all, thank you for reacting to my favorite rock band! Fan since 1983! (this video you've just watched was taken from a famous concert they performed one year before I get to know their amazing music).
Second, this was a nice reaction and you're smart enough to realize you got a long journey with Iron Maiden, for they're such an awesome band with many great hits.
If you want to get to know them better, I got some informations for you: nowadays, their drummer is such an amazing one - Nicko McBrain (R.I.P., Clive Burr!); they got no more 2, but 3 guitarists; they've just released a new album some years ago ("Senjutsu" - 2021) and they'll be on tour this year ("The Future Past Tour").
Basic informations: their leader is the bass guitarist, Steve Harris, one of the greatest EVER in Rock History! And, in my opinion, he is the best heavy metal songwriter!
He's been the composer of most of Maiden's songs.
The vocalist you enjoyed so much, Bruce Dickinson, composes some songs too, and he is graduated in History, PHD in Egyptology, and he is also a pilot, having driven many times the "Ed Force One", the plane Iron Maiden uses to travel from one country to the other one when they're on tour.
Regarding to your next Maiden's reaction...if you want to be surprised and get goosebumps once again, I got a perfect suggestion for you: "Rime of the ancient mariner" (based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge).
Some other fine suggestions: "Fear of the dark"; "Wasted years"; "The trooper"; "The number of the beast"; "Aces High"; "Infinite dreams"; "Stranger in a strange land"; and "The writing on the wall" from their latest album (the official music video).
Have a nice iron journey and...
Up the irons! 🤘
UP THE IRONS!!!!! Still carries the same energy some 40 years later. 🤘🏼
Up the irons!
They are still touring and Bruce is even more theatrical now. He dons costumes for various songs. They just put out their 17th studio album last year.
The best band ever! 40+ years later their live performances are still amazing!
❤ Iron Maiden is listen to best watching their live show videos. Although the studio version is great you'll never get close to the live show. They are the standard that all bands should strive to be 😂
This is one of my top three favorite live video performances, along with Rush's Xanadu and Metallica's Enter Sandman in Moscow after the fall of the iron curtain.
I think that for a older man (became 66 years old on august 7 / 2024) and the fact that he has gone through cancer of the tongue and lymph nodes, then he sounds great, don't you agree?
Bruce Dickinson is an ICON and so is the rest of the band members of Iron Maiden, he has great breath control and voice control.
One thing that makes his voice even better, that is if you realize that he had cancer of the tongue and lymph nodes. A lump “the size of a golf ball” was found on the back of his tongue and still he can sing like that, wow right?
Dickinson had the tumor removed in 2015. Since then, he’s noticed a world of difference.
“When it went away, I guess there's a lot more space for the sound come out!,” the front man proclaimed. “Not to put too fine a point on it, but there's no more obstruction in the way, you know? So yeah, with the high notes I was like, ‘Wow! Whoosh!’ There's a lot more horsepower in some of the high notes, which is interesting.”
Not to bad by a older guy, you might want to read about his tongue and lymph nodes cancer, right, so here is the link to it:
faroutmagazine.co.uk/bruce-dickinson-iron-maiden-cancer-battle-im-lucky/
.
Knowing that he is over 60 years here and the he already had cancer of the tongue and lymph nodes, that makes his voice even more amazing, right?
Bruce is also a licesend Pilot and a really good Fencer !!
Great that you picked up on the bass early on in the song. That's Steve Harris, one of the founding members of the band. His style of playing is very unique and drives most of the band's songs in such a way. His bass sound is iconic in the Metal World. It's usually very prominent in their sound mixes as you heard here. Don't know if other Maiden fans do this but I often play along with him with my Air Bass.
Oh, I should add that I've been a fan of the band since about 1988, when their 7th album came out. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. "Hallowed be thy Name" was on their 3rd album, 1982's "Number of the Beast."
"Phantom of the Opera" is NOT a cover of what you think it is. It's their own song from their 1980 self-titled debut album.
A song I think you should definitely check out is "The Red and the Black" from their 2015 album (and tour) "The Book of Souls." It's a long one at about 14 minutes, but it's got some great guitrar solos and harmonies that just showcase their talent.
Funny little fact abouf the band is that after their 1988 album "Seventh Son", their guitarist Adrian Smith left the band and Janick Gers replaced him. Then after the 1992 album and "Fear of the Dark" tour, the vocalist Bruce Dickinson left too to focus on acsolo career. However after putting out two albums with Blaze Bayley on vocals in the mid 90s, both Bruce and Adrian came back to the band for a new album in 2000 called "Brave New World." But instead of kicking Janick out, they kept him, and Maiden has had 3 guitarists ever since. Janick is a real pleasure to watch too. He's running and jumping on stage, but never misses the beat with his playing. The video for "The Red and the Black" (Live) shows him off pretty well.
One of many Maiden masterpieces and my favorite track of theirs. This particular live version is top too!
Here we are! This is where the fun begins :) Up the Irons and heavy metal forever! Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are my favourite metal bands of all time ;) Enjoy Stacey :)
well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad (to quote Meat Loaf :) )
Black Sabbath.
Very nice reaction Stacey. Glad you got to Iron Bloody Maiden :) My first listen was in 1984 when a friend lended me his Piece of Mind cassette. First song I heard was Where Eagles Dare. Couldn't believe my ears! Just a whole new and different sound that I never heard before. I was 100% hooked on these guys at that very point. They're a class band too. And smart, well read, more than just metal heads. And by all accounts pretty damn good people too. Have had the pleasure of seeing them live 3 times. They're so good.
Next one for you, suggestion: Fear of the Dark...live. All the best to you on your Maiden journey. Up The Irons!!! ✌😊🤘
Do The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Great song and a poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Yes, but try live version first!
Blood Brothers would be amazing too
I saw them twice on this tour (Beast On The Road Tour) back in 1982. The first time they opened for the Scorpions then the second time they headlined. I still have my program.
Great concert. Saw that tour in Chicago. 🤘
This was recorded at Hammersmith in London on 20th March 1982 as part of the tour to promote the album this song was on. The album was released 2 days later on 22nd March so it was a totally new song to the audience. The album was only recorded in the January/February so 8-10 weeks earlier. You said you could be listening to the studio version - this is very similar as this was only the 19th or 20th show of the tour since recording it.
You picked an excellent song to start your Iron Maiden journey... Great reaction as well))) These guys are so tight when they are on stage it's like you would hear on the studio version only actually better)).. They are without a doubt a 15 out of 10 with each performance video I seen.. I never been to a concert but unforunatelly I missed them 3 times on their Piece Of Mind our. The first in St. Louis in 1985, the second was in Illinois, they played near Chicago I believe the night before I graduated boot camp, then the third times was in Oakland , California they played I found the same night I arrived in California.... 3 times on the same tour missed them... The bad part is I had a ticket for the first one but had to sell my ticket to pay a couple of fines before leaving for boot camp.😭.. You are starting a wonderful metal journey Stacey... Here's a suggestion for future reaction, it's a bit lengthy but awesome song & worth the listen.. Here you go: Iron Maiden 1985 - The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - Live at Long Beach Arena....
If you wonder how one misses the same band in concert 3 times on the same tour- Shitty timing or shitty luck((
Let us make your year next. Trust us
FEAR OF THE DARK LIVE
FEAR OF THE DARK LIVE
FEAR OF THE DARK LIVE
just raw and natural talent, no technology cheating, late drummer Mr. Clive Burr at the top of his game here, I´m a fan since 1986 when I heard them for the first time
🤘"Rime of the Ancient Mariner"🤘
Iron Maiden was not only my first but I'm pretty sure my second concert. ... It was/ is a n impactful impression.😂❤🙏❤️😊😎
I love Iron Maiden but haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them live. My father had in the 80’s and told me stories about Bruce during the show. He said that he was incredibly energetic the whole time. Running around and hopping on top of tall stacks of speakers like it was nothing.
On another note, if your curious to hear another version of this song, try watching the cover by Cradle of Filth (Black Metal) 🖤
So glad you are a fan of both Iron Maiden and Babymetal - lol. You just got my subscription :)
I'm glad you finally got around to Maiden! I gave you a pretty long list of suggestions after you reacted to Sabaton. Maiden regularly uses history, mythology, literature, and movies as the basis for their songs. You should do "Fear of the Dark" from Rock in Rio next, or "The Trooper, " from En Vivo.
They've chosen one of the clasics and most amazing songs of all metal history. Nice
Sweetie, I have seen iron maiden live. It's like watching a soccer match while they're playing the instruments and singing at the same time. That kind of energy. I can name forever songs. You need to check out first off. I dare you. Beautiful to listen to the whole album power slave. You could do the same thing with the number. The beastdalbum piece of mind, almum are my 3 favorite, but they've got great albums dating all the way up. To the present time bruce still sounds great in his seventhere will never be another iron maiden
Amazing reaction your excitement for them is awesome. They are an amazing band definitely any reactions must be love shows they sound amazing and always put on a great show. Pure performers. Keep up the great work
"Alexander The Great" by Iron Maiden is even more epic masterpiece! If this song is classic heavy metal, then Alexander The Great is pure progressive! Strongly recommended! Just don't stop please, it'such a journey)
Iron Maiden was my first concert back in the 80’s, still enjoy listening to them!
Bruce, in addition to being a one of the best vocalists and performers in metal, is an author and novelist, a screenwriter, a radio DJ, a TV presenter and producer, a commercial airline pilot flying Boeing 757 and 737, a successful Entrepreneur including building an aircraft maintenance company, a pilot training company, and a brewery. He's also a champion fencer that competed internationally amongst other talents.
So glad I was a teen in the 80s. Gen X for life...we may be the forgotten generation but damn we had it good.
A beautiful gal opening her mind to the magic of Metal. This kind of thing, my friends, are what dreams are made of. 🤩🥰🤭
Look extremely forward to the journey, m'lady. 🤘☺️💜
Great reaction 🎉 always great to see people get blown away by Iron Maiden🔥, reminds me of the first time i heard them 🤟
Check out fear of the dark too, great crowd participation. The trooper, wasted years, run to the hills, many many more.
Once saw Iron Maiden and Queensryche together, back to back. This was before Queensryche self-destructed. I can't even describe it -- such enormity of talent in one place, on one stage. Brilliant is an understatement. Totally exhausted by the end of the night. Thank you, Chicago, illinois, for the best concert of my life.
This was a performance from early in their long career. If anything, they are even MORE energetic now!!
Been a Maiden fan since 1982, and as good as Iron Maiden's albums have been, I always felt that they are so much better Live. This video was from 1982, check out their newer live shows, especially from South America. Those crowds are rabid Maiden fans. And these guys, even though they are now in their 60's, the drummer is 71, their energy level is still through the roof, and are still putting on phenomenal shows.
strong suggestion: fear of the dark (Live At Rock In Rio)
Seen Maiden on this tour, Oakland, Ca. I was 13. You are doing a great job Stacy!
Yep Actually Bruce is actually a private 747 captain & flies his band around, also a UK group
Oi Stacey, você descobriu o Iron Maiden e nunca mais sua vida musical será como antes. Tenho 48 anos e ouço maiden todo dia desde os 10 anos quando o descobri. Essa música em especial é considerada uma da 5 maiores musicas de metal de todos os tempos por algumas revistas de metal. Parabéns pela descoberta. Se puder, ouça Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, ou a última musica lamçada Hell on Earth.
Hi Stacey, you discovered Iron Maiden and your musical life will never be the same again. I'm 48 years old and I've been listening to Maiden every day since I was 10 when I discovered it. This song in particular is considered one of the 5 greatest metal songs of all time by some metal magazines. Congratulations on the discovery. If you can, listen to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, or the latest released song Hell on Earth.
Rime of the ancient mariner live performance......simply a masterpiece
It is so nice to watch theses reacting video of the younger generation enjoy the music that I grew up with.. and just remember this is all pure raw talent .. no auto tone or anything.. great reaction keep them up..
“Rime of the ancient mariner” from live after death performance 1985 is an excellent video to react to imo.
Maiden fans are here. Your channel is about to blow up. Hope to see you do more Maiden reactions!
You'd love Ronny James Dio. Last in line.
Three times I saw them live in tour here in Costa Rica. Every single one of those times was the best concert I went in all my life. XD Up The Irons!!!
"Aces high"
You have reacted to 2 of my all time favorite band and live bands. Pink Floyd and now Iron Maiden. Great reaction. Lots more from iron maiden. Rime of the Ancient Mariners is epic
You havent lived at your fullest until you've been at a metal gig in the middle of the crowd.
Hello Stacey and welcome to the Iron Maiden universe! I did the same in 1982, when I was 16 with the same album, „The Number of The Beast“. „Hallowed be thy Name“ was also my favourite song then. After listening to the whole album i was infected with the „Maiden Virus“. It is diffucult to suggest songs because every song on their early albums is unique. So my suggestion is to listen to the whole albums „The Number of the Beast“, „Peace of Mind“ and „Powerslave“ to see how different they are. Another idea is to listen to their live albums „Live after Death“ and „Rock in Rio“ from 1985 and 2002. You will find older and newer songs there and get an impression how the band and their music developed. You‘ll find all these albums on the Iron Maiden UA-cam channel. So, have lots of fun and keep rocking! Greetings from Germany! Michael
you've started an epic journey
Welcome to the Maidenfamily! Been there since -90.
Once a Maiden fan, always a Maiden fan.
Up the irons!
Rush "Tom sawyer" is a classic hit
@StaceyRPG: Nice that you finally got around to one of the premier performances of the 1980s! Put it this way: Iron Maiden performing Hallowed Be Thy Name in 1982 was like Nightwish performing Ghost Love Score in 2013. It was one of, if not _the,_ iconic performance of the 1980s.
What you don't know is that this performance is, being done in 1982, older than me -- and I just turned 41 a little less than a month ago.
Having said that, this song is about a condemned man who is living the final hours of his life. As the song begins, he's reminded that the clock is striking 5 pm. Thus, he now walks out from his cell to the prison courtyard, to the courtyard gallows, where he will be hung.
As he walks, he goes through the five stages of grief, until at the end, he accepts his fate, and shouts out to the sky, "Hallowed be Thy Name!"
As you mentioned about the drumming, the tempo was speeding up -- his heart rate increasing as he walks towards what he knows as his death. So you weren't just hearing that. It's similar to the Sabaton song "Final Solution" having the drums sound like the "click-clack" of rail cars in trains that were on the way to places like Auschwitz during the Second World War.
As for Bruce Dickinson, this was very early on in his career with Iron Maiden. And, funny enough, nobody in the crowd had even heard this song yet, as the album dropped two days after this concert. So even the people in the crowd were hearing Hallowed Be Thy Name for the first time. And Iron Maiden, being who they are, has influenced bands and singers since the 1980s. Bands like Sabaton and Nightwish. Singers like Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers. And even more than the singing, Iron Maiden's iconic double-bass drum "gallop" has been used by many bands, including Unleash the Archers in songs like Ten Thousand Against One and Apex.
But Maiden is a journey -- and like the Beatles, has been one of the few non-American bands to consistently be on American rock radio from the 1980s.
Welcome to the best band in the world. Up the Irons!
Hands down best live show you will ever see ..... they put on a show ,very theatrical ....Talent goes without saying ! The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Live you must check out they have a few vids to choose from cant go wrong with any .. Keep Rockin Stacey !!
Every once in awhile you come across a GREAT bass player. Once a decade you come across an EPIC bassist. Once in a life time you see a LEGENDARY bassist. Then....there is THE bass GOD...Steve Harris. Legend has it his mom had to have a C section when Steve was born as the bass wouldnt fit down the birth canal.
*Steve Harris
@@Warlock_UK fook...thats embarrassing
Awesome reaction.
I don't care how far you have to travel, you need to see them live. This tour featured in this video was my first exposure to them, I must have seen them 30 times since then and have never been disappointed.
Also when you get to songs like The Trooper (based off the poem The Charge of The Light Brigade) or the musical version of The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner make sure you do the live version made more recently and keep in mind when listening to Bruce sing he survived throat cancer and sounds even better than he did before.
Loved your reaction, just subbed for more
