Mom reacts
wasted years
reaction
mom
Reason I said it was a “newer song” was because the video for it dropped three years ago on UA-cam. My mistake. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Yeah I just thought of that! It was released in 1986!
You got to show her one after 2000. ''Paschendale''
"The book of souls" is a new song from a new album (2015) and you MUST react to the live version from the album "The book of souls live chapter".
In fact, reacting to studio versions or fan made videos makes you losing the esence of the band.
Show this one to your mom.

Alex: "Iron Maiden's coming..."
Mom: "I know, and you're going."
Parenting done right!!
the best... alex didnt know, that he was made by this song...^^
Adrian Smith, one of the guitarists in Iron Maiden wrote this song just before he left the band for a while.
He said he wrote it about being gone all the time, missing his family, missing his home life, & missing a slower paced life.
He rejoined Iron Maiden a few years later.
I'm 51 yrs old & this is my favorite Metal band!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama.
well said..
I just turned 34 and they've been my favorite band for about 20 years already. Masters of their trade
Wasted Years is SO GOOD. Just... The musicianship and instrumentation.... Bruce just makes everything even better.
thats because it is my favourite song \m/
"just don't pause it right before a good part" that means: DON'T PAUSE IT
That's for the licenses reasons. That's why people pause the videos.
Grandma walking through the background is priceless
@Scott Anderson, IKR? I first spotted her at... 4:20! Props to Photo Bombing Grandma! 🤘😊💨
I thought that was Eddie
@@radkonpsygami7634 Okay, I'm dumb. Who's Eddie? Thank you all!
@@radkonpsygami7634 Thank you so much for your kind & informative reply! I seriously was researching the band's history to see if a former band member was named Ed or Edward or Eddie or... gotcha!
As for Grandma's & Zombies, I can tell you that, as a Grandma, I do enjoy Zombies quite a bit! They move at about the same speed as I do, these days! I especially enjoy Zombies with names! Like Rob or Spider or...
Peace all! ✌☮🍻💨
@@edspreitzer2514 Hahaha too funny .
Your mom is absolutely right about them being the greatest band on earth! GO SEE IRON MAIDEN WITH YOUR MOM ALEX!!!
Yes, even though i LOVE judas priest too, Maiden is just the best of the best. 🤘
He should most definitely take his mum to see 'Maiden. She'd cry tears of joy seeing them live with him.
UP THE IRONS!
@Hey Zeus You should download Grammarly, you misspelled objectively.
Especially since they'll be in HOUSTON Sep 22, 2019 (tix on sale now)
Yo mama is so cool she can stop global warming.
Global warming? Oh you mean the event that's been taking place every 10,000 yrs. Since the birth of Earth?
@ yea yea lol you're right. I apologize. Rock on brother!
@@jbaz964 aye-aye, same to you
@@jbaz964 No, I mean the event made by us that change temperatures much faster than the natural cycles would.
@@archabe I can't get myself to buy into that. Of course I love our planet but it seems to me this is just the latest scare tactic to guide the sheep. And stir the pot. I've done lots of research and it does no good to argue about the topic because that's what they want. A devided country is easy to control. But!.. lol I do agree that we do have an influence on the climate, just not as much as they are selling.
30 year old song, "This is one of their newer ones" 😂
35-40
Pretty sure this is from Fear of The Dark so 80's
@@nathantorresstanevil6958 It's from Somewhere In Time, which is 1986. Also, Fear Of The Dark is 1992
@@exorcizamus2419 ah ok👍
@@exorcizamus2419 I bought this , on cassette ,when it first came out lol
man dont lose the chance to see iron maiden live... i know this is just a coment but believe me iron maiden live perfomances are life lessons!!!! up the irons \m/
true...just saw them live this summer, my 13th time.
touring the states again in 2019....who knows how many more times they will...don't miss your chance!
I saw them with ghost not to long ago and oh my God it changed my life. Bruce's voice is phenomenal. And ghost weren't slouches either
My mom voted for this song to be her Class Song😂 Ahhhh the 80’s.
Charlotte 😂😂 someone hated her high school years
Scotty W She also got away with smoking in the halls; I don’t think she had the best guidance😂
Your mom is my hero
Charlotte as long as she graduated and got out of that school then I applaud her 😂
Your mom is a badass too!
The bass lines are amazing
Its Steve Harris. Everything he does is amazing except for letting Clive Burr go.
Bruno Silveira that’s because the bass player writes most of the songs LOL
What I loved more than anything about this reaction video was the obvious affection you have for your mom. You just went up a few hundred notches in my book. Thank you young man.
I whole heartedly agree!
One of my favorite Maiden songs, and now your mom is one of my favorite people.
This is my favorite Iron Maiden song.
all their songs sound the same
Same, besides Fear Of The Dark and Hallowed Be Thy Name.
Have this as a ring tone on my cell .
@@bjrnhagen2853 you just described hip hop. "Everything sounds the same".
no they have hip and hop
This is one of my favorite songs, mainly for the lyrics. Im surprised your mom hasn't heard it. Live your life! You're living in the golden years!
I’m sure they’ve heard it before but nevertheless a wholesome video
That's not their newer stuff that's from 1986
Yeah dude I was just like HEH?!
Well, in his defence, it was their 6th album, so maybe she was listening during the really early days. You never know.
But it was their peak, it was all downhill from Somewhere in Time
@@shawn.m.schmidt That's a bad opinion. Seventh Son, Fear of the Dark, Brave New World, Dance of Death, A Matter of Life and Death, Final Frontier and Book of Souls are all amazing albums.
I was thinking this too. I was like.. hang on... This song came out when I was 9!
*Opeth - Ghost of Perdition*
I'll never stop requesting this song, Alex
btw. I hope your mom wasn't joking about the tickets,
for the love of God buy them if you still can, seeing Maiden live was honestly the highlight of my life
Klata YES
Same: I need to see Alex's face for each part of the song !
opeth
Hell, im going to see them again in august, worth EVERY PENNY.
Oh, keep asking for that one. That's a good song.
you have a metalhead mom, you ask “is that too loud?” that is equivalent to, “would you like fries with that?” 😜
just love when you ask your mom "its's to loud?" tht's happen when you was rised by a metal mom, the respect.
Lol this is how you keep your videos fresh and different from everyone else 🤘
You "is it too loud?" and your mom seems to think "don't bullshit, bring it on" :-) i love your lovely mother, she seemed a little bit shy and so so sweet! When i'm talking with my mother about her young days and concerts that she saw... it is just the same feeling of how strong is our bond, it was just so obvious in this video. Time flies.. one day we would like our kids to listen about our experiences as well. Much love :)
"Is it too loud"
"Nah"
metal head problems
Your mom is awesome! She knows great music and takes the time to explain why. I'm 43 and grew up with this brilliant band and most of their songs bring back memories.. Ultimate shower wake up music 😂🎶🚿
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope 🤘
pls go for it!! This one is sooo freaking amazing!
Yeah, NeO are awesome! This, or Forget Not are great introduction to the band
Plz
One of those bands that made me want to smack myself for not discovering them earlier
Excellent choice of video Alex. It would seem you are destined to be a metal head. You can see your mom tracing the years in her eyes while she listened. Very cool treat. Thank you for sharing with us
This is not a newer song. This came out in the mid 80's.
85 or 86 it came out
This song has so much power gets you pumped every time you hear it I'm thinking more 86-87 but either way defo the 80s up the irons 🤘🤘
Although their newer album book of souls isn’t half bad.
I guess what he means by 'newer song' is a newer song to his mom, bc she never heard this one...she used to listen to their earlier stuff.
"Somewhere in Time" album. Bruce "The Siren" Dickinson... getting old is part of life. Like me. And metal will go on forever.
"This is one of their newer songs." Um... it came out 32 years (and 10 albums) ago.
Iron Maiden, the best band in the world
That album is pure perfection.
simply the greatest band of all time man.
Your mom is so awesome.. more Iron Maiden reactions.
Iron Maiden - Dance of Death.
Best live band ever! Seen them three times and love the energy from the band and the crowd! Everyone there wears a Maiden concert shirt, incredible!
Best heavy metal band of all times!!
For “newer” Iron Maiden try “where the wild wind blows”
Amazing song
How can you not cry at the end of that one.
Also the red and black, love that one too. There's also the Judgement of Heaven and also the angel and the gambler, but those 2 are older xd
Man, my mother died when I was 11 and she was classical piano player. I'm drummer and always imagine showing the songs I like to her so she could react to them. This song is my favorite from them. Up the Irons! 🇧🇷
8:02 Grand Mother reacts to Meshuggah Bleed next!!!!
'One of their newer songs'
It's actually pretty old! It's from their sixth album (they have sixteen now) "Somewhere In Time" which was released in 1986. It's a pretty old song. If you want a new song of them, I would highly recommend 'Speed Of Light' from their sixteenth album "Book Of Souls"
Dude their new stuff is soo good though, everything from brave new world and afterwards is perfection 🤘
Book of Souls is amazing. I like the longer songs on it: Red and the Black is my favorite.
@@Datboy1991 long iron maiden songs are the best. Dream of mirrors, alexander the great, seventh son of a seventh son, red and the black, book of souls, dance of death, paschendale, rime of the ancient mariner, for the greater good of god and my ALL time favorite empire of the clouds... Only iron maiden can make such long and diverse songs that sound amazing. My all time fav band of all time, ever. 🤘
I'd love a maiden album with Adrian in total control over everything. He's the key to their best songs. Even if he didn't write them, he adds so much!
This reaction came out in 2018...
9:12
"Two years from now we'll look back and remember when we could drive, go out to eat and goto school? Those were the fun days!"
2020 we can't do any of those and the days suck - he's right; those were the fun days!
Alex: "Love you."
Mom: "Was that for me or for them?"
LMAO!!
Wooo!! I saw mom and I clicked so fast!!!
It was the Grandmother walking in the background that got my attention, is she single by any chance ?
Awesome reaction. It’s great to see you and your mom truly enjoying yourselves and the song.
I finally got to see Iron Maiden live a few years ago. Best concert I’ve ever been to. I hope you get to see them live. You’ll have a blast.
This is the exact song my Mom has me listen to, to introduce me to Metal music. I was 7-8 years old (so 22-23yrs ago), and had been listening to the “Oldies” that my parents listened to as I was growing up.
So seeing you do this reaction video with your Mom was really cool to come across. Brought back a lot of good memories of me and my Mom listening to and singing music together. This is the 3rd holiday season without her. So thanks again for bringing back some awesome memories, with an awesome song.
Up the Irons! 🤘🏻
Idk how to explain it but there is just something about 80s metal high notes that is just so satisfying!
I know exactly what you mean, there's just something inherently happy about that high-squealing guitar sound, even if the key is minor and the song full of doom.
Faith no more - epic
And after Epic all the other epic ones 👍🏼😃
Falling to pieces 👍👍
Ashes to ashes
Hi MOM!!!! We are probably around the same age. It was great seeing you in the video. Maiden is amazing. I went to almost all of their concerts. Such an original sound for us back then. Hi to the person in the background with the towel around her head too!!! You're learning Alex!! Cheers!
You have to see Iron Maiden in concert! I've seen them 5 times and loved every show! Even saw Bruce Dickinson fall on stage, but he kept going. Hilarious 😂!!! UP THE IRONS to the world!!!!!
Hahaha so cute your mom!
So cool 😊
Also really awsome that your mom does this with you really cool
Iron maden made me a musician, kept myself going forward when I lost hope, made me who I am and how I am right now. They made me look to myself, to life and to avaluate everything, they teach me as a father does to a son, they showed me ways and held my hand till I get ready to go on my own.
Their music is history and life in poetry. They set the bar.
Love maidens, you should hear a bunch of them more too! Much love! :)
These are the moms of the metal era! Makes my heart proud! Great job mom, for supporting Alex in his metal venture. You raised a fine boy!
Finally man 😂😂quickly clicked this to watch and commenting while watching good start knowing your mom likes Iron Maiden awesome
wasted years isnt one of their newer songs, their newer songs is like from the "brave new world" album and onward
And Brave new world is already 18 years old :-)
@@grindmaster7433 but i still consider it their newer stuff because they havent changed their style that much since the release of that album
It's the calmest I've ever seen you Alex, he he.
You have a great mom, Alex! TY for doing this one
You got your moms smile. I enjoyed this reaction. Merry Christmas 🤟🏼
Your brain just melted....
Watch them live bro... Its an experience you'll never forget 🤘🤘
one of my all time favorite maiden tracks...so glad someone finally did a reaction to it.
Yep....one of my favorite songs from Maiden. Rock On!! My son and I already got our tickets for the September show, cant wait!
One of my absolute favorite Maiden tunes/vids.
lol was that grandma in the bakground? I want to see her do reactions!
Maiden is indeed the greatest metal band. You should do some of their newer songs .
I noticed that too! Make her react to something! Take it easy though :P
😂 then we’ll have mini Hefner in 8 years doing reactions
Saw that too and that was a classic lol moment
Grandma secretly likes Cannibal Corpse.
Should have just had grandma come up at the end and throw devil horns to the camera. Full circle, since Ronnie James Dio said he got the devil horns from his Italian grandma when she was hexing someone. LOL \m/ \m/
Thx friends... this is Iron Maiden, this song is the soul of this band....
A Fan since 1980....damned i'm old..lol
And i not forget.... happy Christmas & New Year from France to your family
Let's Rock !!!
Maiden was my favorite band in high school and one of the bands I never got to see so I feel ya. I hope you got to see them and had a great time!
A metal mom is the best mom. Anyway, I like a ton of metal bands but I'm perfectly comfortable calling Iron Maiden the best metal band out there. Peace indeed! PS: WAIT, did you just call Wasted Years a "newer" metal song??? It's from 1986, bruh!!!! Still cool, tho. Try reacting to something from their latest album, like Empire of the Clouds. I'd also recommend Nomad.
Your mum is awesome. More maiden please. Wicker man or blood brothers
One of my fav Iron Maiden songs. Thank you :)
So funny, how Mum & Son bobbing their head the same way ^^
Wasted Years is my favourite song of my favourite band! Nice Video! 🤘🏼
I subbed because your mom is an OG Iron Maiden fan. Up the Irons!!
Kissing the Shadows - Children of Bodom
Yes! Old CoB all the way!
Yes
Um YES
Yeees
Trying to get this one's popularity up
U cant never go wrong with Iron Maiden. They r at the top of the chain all over the world with theyre music. Ive seen them n concert and it is the best show ive ever been 2
GO SEE MAIDEN LIVE!!!! it is a MUST!!! I cried when I saw them last year... One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
shes such a sweetheart and you're awesome as always keep up
8:02 was that eddie in the background?
You killed meeee😂😂😂
Noooo dude, it's so wrong! But i liked it! lol
Brilliant band and one of my favourites, the british bands of that era seem to have their own unique sound that is whats so good about them.
I like that the pauses were minimal. Thank you. You said " one of their newer songs " . Lol. That was 1986. And that video chronicled their career to that point. Fast forward to 2016. BOOK OF SOULS. Debuted @ #2!!! Highest charting release to date. Not only are they surviving, they are thriving. This summer they're touring the states and I urge you both to go. Their show is bigger than anything KISS ever could imagine. Btw. You are an awesome young man for profiling such world class bands I.e. Iron Maiden. And you're right. Your Mom is beautiful and very cool!! And probably my age. Lol. Rock on y'all. And thanks for making my day. Up The Irons!
Funny fact, Bruce Dickinson is now 61, he still sounds godlike while singing 😃😄.
One of my favorite Iron Maiden songs! P.S. your mom needs a raise! MOM HYPE!
I had the privilege of seeing them with my son. I flew him into Detroit from Walla Walla, WA and I drove to Detroit from Baltimore Maryland. As you can see I got to get a some pics of Ed Force One. Awesome show. Awesome time with my son at the Palace of Auburn Hill.
Thanks for your reviews!! Saw them live on Number of the Beast, and Powerslave tours. Awesome live!
U know her mind is running through the 80s right then 😍
Great vid u look just like her lol cheers
you two go that iron maiden concert!!!
signed : Eddie
Your mom reminds me so much of me, I Love Iron Maiden and grew up on rock. My husband saw Maiden before they were famous as a pub band in London England in the late 70's. It's So cool that you are sharing this music with your mom..
I saw them live this year in germany and man, what an amazing concert. You should definitely go to the concert!
dang did eddie walk through the background?at 8:00 mins in?
I lol'd.
So funny. My thought exactly.
Lmmfao! I thought the same thing. Up the Irons!
Nah looked like an old white haired dude to me. Probably his father.
lol brilliant
Only 1 pause... because it’s too good to pause
But this isn’t a newer song, it’s from 1986, the year before I was born and it’s my favourite song
You definitely need to see them live if you can, they don’t half-arse their shows... the stage, the lights, the pyros, the performance... their shows are awesome
I'm in H-town too. Great react. Loved your mom's take. Kudos! I did get to see Iron Maiden, when I was 18, in Lakeland, FL in 1985, Quiet Riot opened. They both sounded exactly the same on stage as on record. It was a great concert. In the intermission... purple (haze) fog hits the stage and Dave Murray comes out and starts playing the Star Spangled Banner ala Hendrix. Bruce jumps up and lowers the Union Jack flag flying high over Trooper Eddie and raised the American Flag.... the place went nuts!! It was awesome.
Every time Maiden comes to Sweden, me and my mom go to see them! It's our tradition and we both love the band, I first saw them live in Stockholm in june 2003 and i took my mom when they returned to Stockholm in the fall of the same year. We've been to see one of the swedish shows in all the tours except for one since then, it's our thing and the one year we missed it was a fluke that's never happening again as long as they keep touring and we're still alive!
You should react to some Iron Maiden Live in Chile dude, greatest crowd (said by them)
Your mom knows good music. Listen to her. But......this song came out in 1986. I was a junior in high school.
Cool stuff, people. Thanks. I've heard this song a million times and got goose bumps listening to it with you. A gem for sure.
This reaction was GOLDEN. Great job Alex and Alex mom. She is a true privileged one to have experienced them in their prime. Now we all get to share in their EPIC MUSIC.
Alex:
Dood.
Ask mom.
She knows the answer:
"If it's too loud,
you're too old!"
Bruce Dickinson is Iron Maiden's greatest lead singer.
(Paul Di'Anno was their first lead singer, who recorded their debut album Iron Maiden, and on their 2nd album, Killers, and Blayze Bailey briefly replaced Bruce while Bruce got his commercial pilot's license, amongst other things.)
And now they have 3 guitarists instead of the 2 that they probably had back when mom likely started listening:
Adrian Smith
Dave Murray, the longest consistent guitarist for Iron Maiden.
Janick Gers, who replaced Adrian Smith.
When both Bruce and Adrian Smith returned to the fold in 1999, instead of kicking Janick to the curb, they kept him as 3rd lead guitarist.
Steve Harris is the bassist and primary song writer and originally formed Iron Maiden with Dave Murray.
(Bruce and Adrian often write together, too. However, Adrian Smith wrote both singles "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land" on Somewhere in Time.
Somewhere in Time followed 1984's Powerslave, in 1986.)
Nicko McBrain plays drums and has for all except the first 2 Iron Maiden albums.
Annette, don't hate me, I saw Iron Maiden on their Powerslave tour in either late 1984 or early 1985 in Portland Maine while my ship the USS DEYO (DD989) was in the Portland Naval Shipyard.
(They played 331 shows on that tour.)
Think I told you this story previously, Alex, so apologies if I'm repeating myself, but since I'm a Southern California boy born and raised, now living in Prescott, Arizona, how the heck did I wind up in Portland, Maine?
I was all east coast stationed in the Navy.
My ship DEYO was in drydock in Portland for a refit and to have 2 Tomahawk missile launchers mounted on the deck of the forecastle.
Either side of our ASROC missile launcher but behind the 5" 54 caliber gun mounted toward the front of the forecastle.
Anyway.
Met bassist Steve Harris at McDonald's where I stopped to grab dinner before the concert.
I honestly have forgotten if Iron Maiden even had an opening band, the Powerslave stage setup was so massive it would have had to suck for another band to open for them.☺
I honestly don't think they did. I believe it was just them.
And I saw so many concerts at that arena in Portland.
So there may have been an opening band and I have since forgotten.
It's been at least 34 years ago, dood.
I'm glad mom liked this song.
I wonder how close she and I are age wise...?
I'm 57 will be 58 next month. (01/27/1961)
Graduated high school class of '79.
(Just curious is all.
Not trying to hit on her.
That would not be cool of me.)
Ladies don't usually divulge their age but your mom is cool enough to love both Iron Maiden AND Led Zeppelin, so she's very cool indeed, dood.☺
The apple does not fall far from the tree, since you got YOUR cool from your cool mom, obviously.☺
(And Annette is definitely younger than MY mom, who would have turned 83 last month, except she passed, one month after her 80th birthday, at the end of December 2015.)
Guessing that was grandma shuffling by in the background and she might have made the unexpected crashing noise?😉
Obviously, you were at mom's or grandma's house, because it definitely did NOT look like your place, dood.
(Grandma is probably closer to what would have been my mom's age, I'm guessing?)
UP THE IRONS! \m/
toddvandell85 Nicko didnt play on the first 3.
* *Todd* * You failed to mention Dennis Stratton, guitarist on Maiden's 1st LP. Adrian Smith replaced him when the Killers LP was recorded. - And how dare you omit the 3 great albums Clive Burr drummed on!!!!! Nicko is good, don't get me wrong.
When he said is it to loud she should have looked at him, paused and said “ Son, if it’s to loud your to old”!!
This is the song that introduced me to Iron Maiden. I'm pretty sure I saw it as premier on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. I hope you made it to that concert. They are amazing live. I saw them a couple of years ago from about 25 feet from the stage. When Bruce and the boys hit the stage the crowd went wild!
I saw Iron Maiden almost three years ago, and I'm seeing them again next year...It's just something you have to live, to experience...amazing show, more than music...

Great song choice! Wasted Years is such a well written song. And Bruce's vocal is top notch.
Very sweet video, your mum seems cool and the fact you bring her in on these things is awesome. I really hope she gets to see Iron Maiden with you.
