No autotune, no editing, just raw talent.
Store owner: "How big do you want your drumkit to be?"
Nicko McBrain: "Yes!"
Drummer Nicko McBrain is a premier rock drummer. He has a large kit but uses all of it. If you listen to Iron Maiden he uses many descending and ascending drum fills. Plus visually, it adds to the whole coliseum rock show experience. Bare foot is a preference. When I was young I played barefooted but now I don’t. Nicko has a very fast bass drum foot and attributes it in part because he’s barefooted (12:30)
Never liked playing barefoot but I like the next best thing, canvas converse all stars
and every so often the drummers get into competition for who has the most drums
i mean playing bare foot makes sense, direct contact with the pedal means possibility of faster and more accurate drumming. Same reason a lot of hockey players wear their skates bare foot as to not lose any kinetic energy in the movement. Note: not a drummer
One of their greatest story telling songs!!!, and yes Nicko's drum set is massive...lol, greatest band ever!!!
Yes!! Why so huge?!! 😂😂 Love it though.
@KoalityReactions it started when Nicko was playing for Pat Travers in the late 70's. Nicko said that Pat had him get this huge kit because it would look cool on stage - which it does. Nicko got used to playing on that set up and has kept it ever since. It's not just for show, though. Nicko actually does use everything on his kit.
@@KoalityReactionsYees!! Nickos drum set is huge!! But is funny and courious that he only plays with one drum kick!!😂
Up the irons!!!!!
If you want to see a huge drum set, check out Neil Pearts set from Rush. Watch the drum solo from the Frankfurt show. It's all over UA-cam.
Well, if we're being truthful, it's their best. Everyone has their favorite but this was their first of it's kind, and most unique and innovative. Everything that followed was an attempt to 'copy' this footprint, but I saw this Live in '84 and nothing has come close since. That's my story and I'm sticking to it 😉
I was 12 when I saw this live in 1985 ... every time I hear the song it takes me back!
I was 12 in 82 when i fist saw them and seen them every time they come to Vancouver since.
I was born in 1985 :D
I was at this show and when I was 14! What a great memory and I’m so happy that it was documented like this
I WAS 14!!! LIVE AFTER DEATH, Day 2
the drummer is Nicko Mcbrain.. ALWAYS plays big set drums on tour
and you owe it to yourself to watch the whole flight 666 dvd in its entirety.
Thank you so much for another fantastic reaction. If you'd like to see another epic live storytelling performance from Iron Maiden, may I suggest Dance of Death from En Vivo? It's one of my favourites.
By the way, I'm sure people tell you all the time, but you really remind me of a younger Sandra Bullock...so freaking adorable😍 Greetings from the UK and Up the Irons!!!
Bruce singing, rest of the band from L-R on screen, Dave Murray - guitar, Adrian Smith - guitar, Steve Harris - bass, Janick Gers - guitar
I was 17 when I saw them in 1984 and the concert is still one of the best performances I have ever seen. The absolute showmanship was phenomenal. All of their songs tell a story but this one was epic. When we covered this poem in HS English the teacher actually played this song in class. I saw them 3 more times after that.
The whole song is based on S.T. Coleridge poem. And Bruce is a master in storytelling 🖤🖤🖤
Welcome into Iron Maiden' world 😎
I enjoyed very much that you enjoyed of the best song ever written. I tend to watch every reaction of this song, as I can every time remember my initial feelings back then, when I wast first introduced to this song. What a wonderful story brought to life. This is ART for me. Nicko´s drum fills in the first part of the song are his best to date and when the song comes to life after the quiet part, it is just the most epic thing you can experience ! RAINNNNNNNN...
UP THE IRONS! 🤘
Im sorry but metallica cannot compete with this band just epic
Facts
Hello, Iron Maiden was my first song at... the wedding! Brave New World to be exact. Greetings from Poland!
Are you talking about THE wedding?
@@The_Stranger1986 Yes, exactly, my first dance was Iron Maiden's Brave New World!!!
There's Never Been a Band that Brings Their Fans to The Forefront The Way Iron Maiden Does...., That Plane you saw at the start of the video, is a charter 757 they painted with Maiden's Art plus it's flown by , yes, Bruce Dickinson..., you can google "Ed Force ONE"....Unique, Powerful, Charming, Engaging, Incredibly Skilled, Hard Working....., You can Argue they're The Greatest , Most Complete Band Ever..., from zero to 150..., There's Nobody Like Them...., "The Red And The Black" , Live Chapter will Blow Your Mind, Lift Your Spirit!!!, Up The Irons!!!!
UP THE IRONS FOREVER !!!
Loved your reaction!!!!
"Hallowed Be Thy Name" from this same era is a must and you would have reacted to the Holy Trinity of IRON MAIDEN songs !!!
Thank you !!!
Epic Reaction! Love your eyes lighting up with pure joy.
This band and that song in particular introduced me to English literature, in some ways history, poetry, the artworks of both Gustave Doré (who illustrated the poem) and Derek Riggs (illustrator for Iron Maiden) and all this at the young age of 12-13 when I was entering high school! How many bands or singers have done the same for you with a single song? Thank you Iron Maiden, you made myself better :)
It's because Iron Maiden secretly leads a Cabal of history and literature teachers.
I never knew Sandra bullock did reactions! My new favorite channel!
The real, purest and most crystalline meaning of the word excellence in the format of a band.
A Maiden concert is better than any theatre production. Love this band xx
It's a McBrain and his legendary drumkit! God I loved it as a child. Still do.
Maiden always take me to the trip to my childhood.
Listened them from -89.
Check Maiden England!
-Moonchild
-Infinite Dreams
-Seventh Son....
Magical gig from a golden era!
Please Dance Of Death live by them next.
This song is my favorite maiden song. Love the way you enjoyed this and the way you explain the song. Keep going on making this great video"s Miss Koality love to watch it. 🤘😉
I remember studying this poem in school and thinking its interesting that Bruce Dickinson was able to make it into a metal ballad.
Another great theatrical presentation is the concert Dance of Death (Live At Estadio Nacional, Santiago) of Dance of Death Tour (2003--2005)
According to Bruce, that's his favorite song to sing. I saw this performance a year later after this concert in Venezuela. It was INSANE!!!! They're touring this fall here in USA. Unfortunately, they don't play this song that much. Great reaction. One of my favorite songs of them for sure!!!
I love the fact that you take the time to understand the song
Up The Irons \m/
Listen to seventh son of a seventh son
Loved them sinc 1984-85.. My first Iron Maiden live CONCERT was in summer`86 🤘.
. (I'm a lucky potato" - Danish saying for being lucky/happy). Hollow be my name . /And other names..
💔🔥👌
We did this poem in year 9 English (so I was 15) and YES I subjected (gifted) my entire class to this song!! That was in 91. The storytelling of Maiden is Epic, there is no other word for it. Alexander the Great is probably one you should check out as well.
Great review! Fun to watch. Seen this song performed live a handful of times. Always epic!!!!!!
This is that we call ART!!!!!!❤❤
Great reaction to an amazing song that deserves more than just listening. Really impressed at how you went through all the music details, lyrics, performance, etc., just how it should be and that you acknowledged the epicness of this performance. Look forward to seeing more of your reactions, keep going!
Oh wow, thank you! Really appreciate the kind comment. 🤍🤍🤍
@@KoalityReactionsThank you! You definitely know about art and music and you catched all relevant details!
Hi, I'm from Brasil, where there are many Maiden's fans; in fact, Maiden's got many fans in South America!
I've been a huge fan for decades, and I got some interesting facts to tell you: Bruce Dickinson, one of the greatest vocalists ever in Rock History, is graduated... in History, PHD in Egyptology, and he is also the pilot of Maiden's airplane, called "Ed Force One"!
If you really enjoyed Maiden's music and want to get to know more about it, I shall warn you: you have no idea how creative they can be, so you'd better be prepared to blow your mind even more!
And, if you like epic, storytelling songs, I suggest to you: "Run to the hills"; "Flight of Icarus"; "Phantom of the opera"; "Aces High"; "Seventh son of the seventh son"; "Powerslave"; "The clansman"; "Alexander the great".
Some other great Maiden's hits: "The number of the beast"; "Fear of the Dark".
Currently, they're on tour, "The Future Past Tour" - coming to South America this year.
As we, fans, use to say, "up the Irons"!
Based on a poem b Samuel Taylor Coleridge and quite accurate and sure the drums of Nicko are huge as he's a master of them...and he plays in his local pub also just for kicks
The other band member you really HAVE TO know is Steve Harris, the bass player. The man is JUST AS MUCH of a legend as Bruce - he is THE founding member of the band, having been in it since its inception with the original lineup ALL THE WAY through to the present day, without a break, and he writes ALL THE SONGS too. He's also one of the best and most beloved bass players out there, rightly well known for his boundless stamina, epic enthusiasm and his INCREDIBLY distinctive playing style, famously known as "The Gallop".
Every so often a question on jeopardy involves this story -Rime of the Ancient Mariner, by Samuel Taylor Cooleridge.
Great reacion ,, you realy got it. Hope to see more of Maiden reacions , there is soo much more to discover. Up the irons .🤘
One of the most overlooked lines in this song IMO is "As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean" that just instantly conjours up the still waters and the peril the ship is in.
Great reaction & breakdown.
#UpTheIrons 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great reaction!!! One of my favorite Iron Maiden songs is Paschendale live. Truly epic the way Maiden have given honor to a famous WW1 battle. Visual stunning, they set it up like you are in the battle!!!! Enjoy! Up the Irons!!!
Such a good in-depth analysis!! 😮 Wow ! Koality art deserves Koality reactions! That is why we're here 😊❤
Side note : speaking of a "whole great journey experience, more than a song", I think you and us are now ready for... The greatest show on earth by Nightwish (with Richard Dawkins). 😊😊😊
Great reaction, loved watching the expressions on your face. My #1 Best of All Time Band 🤘🏼🎸🤪🥁🔥🎤😜
Dance of Death is an amazing performance aswell !
This song helped me pass one of my College English classes using it as cliffnotes 😆
Thank you for focusing so much on the story and the lyrics. Lyrics are very important in most Maiden songs.
If it wasn't for iron maiden and school house rock I would have never passed high school English and history
Hahaha amazing.
Enjoyed your reaction to the mighty Iron Maiden hen. Got to agree with what’s been said already. If you ever get the chance to see them live then you should as you would really enjoy it and appreciate their showmanship. Anyway I will certainly check out your other stuff and subscribe to your channel
Loads of love from Scotland 🏴
I've seen them several times and am excited to be seeing them again this October!
Raye, Oscar winning tears performed at the Royal Albert Hall. This is a triumph of the soul. Her back story of how she was treated by the record label she signed with as a singer / songwriter is remarkable. This performance was the frosting on the cake of her hard work and proof her old record label should have let her have creative freedom. Their loss is our gain.❤
Hard work doesn’t guarantees shit mostly! Nothing is guaranteed often
Dance of Death live...and Where the wild wind blows live also.great stories as well
Loved the breakdown
In highschool we read The Ryhme of the Ancient Mariner and my literature teacher played us the whole song in class ❤ we read along the lyrics and discussed how the parts were illustrated in music.
When I was in high school (early 80s) this song got.me through part of.my English class
\m/ UP THE IRONS \m/
Another one of their epic story song is Empire Of the Clouds you will like it.
Terrible song. Piano ffs
There are some lyrics which are direct quotes from the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the first bit starts with "Day After Day....! and finishes with "...nor any drop to drink"
If you want another epic story telling song, listening to Empire of the Clouds is a total MUST! I also love that you focused also on the lyrics. Many reactors tend to miss that aspect of the songs. You will have an amazing journey with Iron Maiden, lyrically and musically. Cant wait for more.
You'd love Paschendale- for sure
You are amazing! I love people who like a good story ;)
Great reaction thanks greetings from Costa Rica 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Up the Irons! 🤘Thank you so much!
Thank you for another great reaction. If you want to see a truly epic drum set react to Neil Peart (from Rush) drum solo live from Frankfurt.
I went ahead and subscribed because I accidentally stumbled upon another beautiful woman reactionist. ❤
And now I can get notifications whenever another video is uploaded.
Congratulations from Brazil! I think Adrian Smith is the best guitarist in the world
Oh my God much I had to play my electric guto learn that solo when it all starts again... Best buildup EVER.... Goosebumps every time... 🇬🇧🇫🇮🇸🇪
Holy moses your epic just like this masterpiece of music & songwriting/storytelling..
Bye bye gorgeous
Bruce also flies the plane. Unreal.
So glad you got into the lyrics. So many people gloss over them for some reason.
Empire Of The Clouds
Bruce lead vocal. Nicko Drums. Steve bass. Yannick guitar. Adrian Guitar, and Dave guitar
Amazing, thank you! Now I have to look at a picture to figure out each guitarist. 😂🤍
Bruce lead vocals and audience :)
24:22 Bruce Dickinson is the singer, as you already know; he was in the band from 1981 to 1993, and re-joined them in 1999.
Steve Harris is the bass player, the main composer and lyricist, and also the founder of the band on Christmas' Day of 1975; his white Fender Precision Bass is customized with the logo of West Ham United, his favorite football club.
Dave Murray is the veteran guitar player (since 1976) and the only band member to appear in alla of Iron Maiden records (other than Steve Harris). In this video, he's on the right spot of the stage and plays the second guitar solo (19:53 of your reaction).
Adrian Smith joined the band in 1981 upon Dave's recommendation; they have been friends since schooldays and legend has it that Dave taught him to play guitar. Adrian played with Iron Maiden until 1989, then left to pursue a solo career; he reunited with Bruce Dickinson in the former's solo band, and then the two rejoined Iron Maiden in 1999. He usually is at the center of the stage; he plays the first guitar solo (in your reaction, from 19:29).
Janick Gers is the third guitar player; he joined the band in 1989, taking Adrian Smith's place. When Adrian and Bruce reunited with Iron Maiden in 1999, the band decided not to part ways with him, and became a three-guitar group. As Rime was released in 1984, he doesn't play any solo in this song; anyways, he's the blonde and skinny guy on the left, all dressed in black, with the black guitar.
Finally, Nicko McBrain is the drummer. He joined Iron Maiden in 1983 and he's also the oldest band member: he was born in 1952.
I always get goosebumps to this song and this performance... Been fan since I was a kid. In 1982 "Number of the beast" I stillhave all their LP original albums... Up to 1990...then they kind of lost it...
I like how you understand what's going on.
I saw them in 85' on the 5th of July. Bruce between song said "Happy late 4th of July to you Southern California! Do you know we celebrate the 5th of July in England. It because we did have to deal with your asses anymore!!! The crowd just cheered and cracked up. Lol he has a great sense of humor
amo tus reacciones
Loved your face though whole time 😂😂😳😳😳🔥🔥🔥
Have fond memories of going to the library to read the poem after hearing the song when I was a teenager!
They could Only Now make a Movie with C.G I., that could do this story properly! You are doing a Great job, Young Lady!
Steve Harris (bass) formed 1975 as a local pub band because he wanted Iron Maiden to play the original songs that he was writing at the time which prior bands found complicated to play... he had progressive influences as well as heavy rock, and he has remained Maiden's leader and chief songwriter... Over the years, the other members also contributed songs and music to Iron Maiden... Harris composed and wrote 'Rime of the Ancient mariner'... and he has written a lot of Maiden's epic songs like - 'Sign of the Cross' ... 'Alexander the great' ... 'For the greater good of God'... etc.
Dave Murray (guitar) is the longest-serving member of Iron Maiden (guitarist on ur left)... Steve Harris saw him perform in another local band in 1976 and enlisted him in Maiden during their pub days; Murray joined permanently in 1977... Murray's friend Adrian Smith (guitar) finally agreed to join Maiden in late 1980 after his band went nowhere (he's the guitarist at the center)... Smith is a key composer in Maiden.
Bruce Dickinson (vocals) saw Iron Maiden perform when he was singing for another band Samson (Paul Di'Anno was Maiden's vocalist then) and in late 1981, Dickinson was offered the job to sing for Iron Maiden when Di'Anno parted ways and recorded their 3rd album 'The number of the Beast' in 1982.
Nicko McBrain (drums) had played in numerous bands since the 70's, and he replaced Maiden's drummer Clive Burr in 1983 and made his debut on their 4th album 'Piece of Mind' in '83.
Janick Gers (guitar) was on ur right... He also spent the 80's in various bands and joined Iron Maiden in 1990 after guitarist Adrian Smith had left the band... Gers and Dave Murray became a solid guitar duo, and when Adrian Smith and vocalist Bruce Dickinson rejoined Iron Maiden in 1999, Janick Gers stayed and they became a 3 guitar heavy metal band.
Cool to see young kids in the audience because I was their age when I seen them in Nashville and they did Rime of the ancient mariner around 40 years ago.
I love this song so much!
To add some perspective...This is the last song on Maiden's 5th album, released in 1984. Written by bassist, band founder and primary songwriter, Steve Harris. The only song on the album written while the band was in studio recording it. This was preceded by critically acclaimed albums released in 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983, all followed by extensive world touring. Non-stop production of high-quality music and concert performances in such a compressed timeframe. Unfathomable for any bands of today. And what you're seeing in this video is 24 years later.
Yes, Nicko has a BIG drum set.
dance of death from death on the road tour is another one great story✌
i have been a fan since the mid 80s, by far my favorite band of all time.
You can never have too many drums! I drum barefoot as well. I can literally feel the pedals & can control them a lot better than if I’m wearing shoes. Every drummer is different though. To each his own.
Saw Maiden live in 84, Powerslave San Diego.
I read The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Every night for 10 months straight during My Second deployment to Iraq. U.S.M.C. I am a huge Iron Maiden fan also!
I got this album when I was in highschool and I still listen to it regularly . Maiden are incredible live I suggest you try to check them out . I saw the singer Bruce Dickinson back in 2021 on his spoken word tour and that was such a fun night 🤘🤘
@KoalityReactions
Hi Jenna, greetings from UK
I miss your Nightwish reactions 🥰
Are you going to do any more?
Perhaps "The Greatest Show On Earth" from either Tampere or Wembley?
You will need a video with lyrics 😊
It shows the history of the earth, the history of humans and the history of music
Hi, came across this video today and really enjoyed it! If you love this song, the storytelling, etc., I'd really recommend you check out "Stargazer" by Rainbow. Another metal tune, although late 70s. Similar awesome storytelling, similar awesome musicianship!
Yeah, Nico's an octopus 🏴🌹
The moment where Bruce sing about death and she life in death, she life in death is considered like that phrase a fate worse than death hence he has the joy of watching his 200 man crew, his 200 friends drop dead before his eyes and it's not until he wishes he was dead and praises the other animals for their beauty that he is allowed to drink. I'm pretty sure in the poem there is a moment where he is so thirsty that he bites his arm hard enough to draw blood just to try and drink something. That's the sort of suffering he was subject to by not dying with his crew
A lot of drums? Check out Neil Peart's kit (from Rush) and you may reconsider. LOL
I think it is richard burton, and its epic😀
I've been a fan of Iron Maiden since their very first album and always will be I've seen them five times. I've always been a fan of Rush and I've seen them five times and if you've not reacted to them.. please do. Neil Peart is amongst the best drummers ever. Would love to see some reactions. Also Dream Theater. You want to talk drums LOL enjoy your journey👍🖖✌🍻🇨🇦
‘Is that an insane amount of drums?’
For most drummers? Yes. For Nicko McBrain? No. He pretty much uses all of them. He plays barefoot because he says it gives him more control over the pedal. He hasn’t always done it that way.
With Maiden you come for the rock and stay for the history/story time!
