    The mascot’s name is Eddie. He’s absolutely iconic and just as beloved as Iron Maiden. You’re in for a real and true journey, BP. Iron Maiden are one of the most notable bands from their era. Steve Harris, the bassist, writes their songs. He’s known as a godfather of bass playing and Bruce, the vocalist, is in a place all his own. An absolute powerhouse. The whole band is straight 🔥.

    You asked how old the singer (Bruce Dickinson) was. If this was from 2008, he was 50. I saw them two nights ago, and he still sounds amazing at 65-he’s lost a bit of range, but still has impressive power and stamina.

    I first saw Iron Maiden live in 1981, that was the first of eleven IM concerts I have assisted to. They are still well alive and kicking and they are currently on the "Future Past" World Tour. The line-up is still the same as you can see in this video from 2008, 15 years older and still running on the stage like crazy. For the next reactions, I would suggest anthems like "Fear of the Dark" or "The Trooper". For an amazing experience, I would also check "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner".

    The best part of the "Devil Music" assumption is the fact that this song is practically a hymn.
    Hallowed Be Thy Name starts slow and mournful with an unnamed convict in his cell facing the last day of his life, as he’s scheduled to be hanged today:
    I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
    Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
    'Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole
    The sands of time for me are running low
    Running low, yeah!
    The song picks up pace as the priest arrives to administer last rights, and a side-by-side journey begins for the condemned - on one side his physical walk to the courtyard to face the hangman, and on the other a spiritual journey from terror to anger to serenity to acceptance and finally joy.
    It’s in that second journey, and especially in it’s conclusion that the “devil music” assumption falls apart.
    When the priest comes to read me the last rites
    Take a look through the bars at the last sights
    Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
    Can it be that there's some sort of error?
    Hard to stop the surmounting terror
    Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
    As the Convict tells us what he’s thinking the music becomes an inexorable march. The Convict’s terror comes through in denial, but the beginning of peace begins to creep in as he professes his faith
    Somebody, please tell me that I'm dreaming
    It's not easy to stop from screaming
    The words escape me when I try to speak
    Tears flow, but why am I crying?
    After all, I'm not afraid of dying
    Don't I believe that there never is an end?
    He’s not there yet. He still has some anger and frustration to work out:
    As the guards march me out to the courtyard
    Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"
    If there's a God, why has he let me go?
    The music continues its force march forward as the Convict examines his live and begins to arrive at serenity:
    As I walk, my life drifts before me
    Though the end is near I'm not sorry
    Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
    From there, his faith takes over and he feels truly prepared. His early declaration that he’s not afraid is given reason and conviction:
    Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
    Don't worry now that I have gone
    I've gone beyond to seek the truth
    When you know that your time is close at hand
    Maybe then you'll begin to understand
    Life down here is just a strange illusion
    The Music continues its seemingly unstoppable pace, but as the song progresses, you can hear it become more and more uplifting, by the end it wouldn't sound out of place in the middle of a Tchaikovsky symphony carried by violins and cellos rather than electric guitars.
    By the time the music’s physical march leads the Convict into the courtyard and up the steps to the gallows, he’s no longer afraid, and he’s gone beyond serenity, into the realm of true joy. His voice is raised in ecstasy, as he joyfully begins to sing the only thing on his mind - The Lord’s Prayer:
    Yeah-yeah-yeah! Hallowed be thy name!!
    Yeah-yeah-yeah! Hallowed by thy name!!
    The music takes you through to the end, and you know it’s the end, at least of the story,
    But by the end of it, you can’t come away feeling like it’s anything but a hymn.
    One of the best metal songs ever written. Maybe THE best.

    Bruce became theiir singer for their third and biggest album. He is THE singer. He left for a few years in the 90s, and then returned. Their original drummer fell ill in the early 80s and was replaced by Nicko who has been with them since. The guitarists are also original, with some temorary changes over the years. For all intents and purposes this is the OG band since the early 80s. Legends.

    I want to congratulate you on going outside your comfort zone to discover the pioneers of metal. Iron Maiden IS still touring and Bruce's voice is still AMAZING! I've been to at least a hundred concerts (mostly rock) and I was lucky enough to get to see this band live - in 2016. It was one of THE BEST live performances a person could ask for! I will never forget this show, which is in my top 5 fave concerts. The energy, the crowd interaction, the top notch vocals and the SIKKK instrumentation makes this band THE ONE to emulate. They are almost 50 yrs strong and still going! They are NOT, however, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! Can u believe that???!!! Judas Priest (my fave band) just got inducted 2 yrs ago and they have been around over 50 yrs. (and are STILL performing live). If u react to Judas Priest, you should do Victim of Changes. Also, you should check out Pantera's "Cemetary Gates". It is one of the greatest metal songs ever! Oh, and Ozzy is from England and AC/DC is from Australia, though Angus and his brother Malcom founded the band and they were born in Scotland. P.S. I got to see Ozzy, Judas Priest and AC/DC twice each! Rock on Black Pegasus!

Maiden are definitely one of the best live acts around after nearly 50 years. I'll let everyone else in here suggest their best songs to react to but..fun fact..lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a licensed airline pilot and has a special Iron Maiden Boeing 747 that he flies the band around in between shows.

    You are entirely correct, Iron Maiden, together with a few other bands from the UK paved the way for what we today call heavy metal in the late 70s and early 80s. And they're still going strong. They are amazing story tellers and entertainers. If you're going to look into more, I suggest Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, a 13-minute masterpiece. But go through the lyrics ahead of time, just to follow the story 🙂
    A lot of Americans haven't even heard most of the European bands despite the music coming from here. The US was behind.

      No. That’s not true. They sound good live. Usually - those mid to late 80s shows Bruce sounded bad and the songs were often sped up, which is the case here too. Bruce sounds as good as he can at his age then but no way does Maiden sound better live that studio. The ‘82 Beast Over Hammersmith is the closest they ever came.

      “Better” is very subjective. The studio versions are, obviously, more clean cut and polished. The vocals are often easier to understand. But, the playing is still excellent live, and the energy more than compensates, imo, for the less polished sound.
      They also play at a faster tempo live-that’s not inherently better or worse, just different. I love it, but maybe it’s not for everybody?

    Maiden were one of the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" that came soon after bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. They set a high bar when it comes to lyrics because Bruce had a classical education.
    They wrote songs about historical moments such as the European settlement of America with "Run To The Hills", the infamous battle known as "the charge of the light brigade" with the song "The Trooper".
    Bruce often refers to classical literature in songs like "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
    Bruce also has a melt-down if he smells anyone smoking in the audience because it may hurt his voice.

    Thank you for having Iron Maiden on your show If you still have that Iron Maiden T-shirt, it's worth a lot of money. I have mine from All the concerts I saw .❤ That Mummy you speak of is named Eddie And each concert he would come out as we screamed for him at the end of the Last Song and he would be dressed For each theme of that concert for the album That just came out. Back in the 70s and 80s. You had to buy your Merch At the concert, you couldn't get it at a store. Could you play Run to The Hills by Iron Maiden? That would be nice. Love your show. God bless You and yours. Rock on😀🤘

      it's funny. in my church youth group we had a young pastor, and he encouraged us to listen to all kinds of music. However, he'd also like us to bring our fav songs to group, so we could listen, and try an break down the lyrics to see if we could detect what the message was.
      Very little of '80s metal, or metal in general is ' satanic, most of it was a gimmic to go against the establishment for those that used the imagery. The ' Satanic Panic ' of the '80s was crazy, and why we now have rating labels. Because Tiper Gore an her bunch of busy bodies couldn't get music censored like they wanted due to First Ammendment.
