Every Iron Maiden show is a Broadway production, a history lesson, a work-out, and your brain baked for 2.5 hours.
@The Stranger I was at the recording 'Live After Death' concert Long Beach Arena 1985, and saw Paul Di'Anno play with his band Killers where he just sang the first two Maiden albums. The same year. At a bar in California.
@@pthor6265, haha, I was at that show too! I was 16 at the time.
Drove down to the show from Bellflower with three friends.
And in '92, I won tickets on KNAC to see Paul and his band _Killers_ at Banana's in Santa Ana.
P.S. Which bar did you see Paul?
Steve’s Bass is very very audible in all maiden songs it’s something he makes absolutely sure of Aileen
He also writes most of the songs
Not always. I love SH style of playing but his super low action and style of playing makes the clack of his strings hitting the frets more audible than than the note payed.
@@rallypoint1 not true , the clack , tends to blend in with the drums any one with a good pair of working ears can hear his actual notes easily.
that said IM exemplifies how you can mix a bunch of instruments and still make each one audible. so many people bury this or that instrument in the mix.
@@DenverStarkey We can agree to disagree. I still hear the clack over the note at times but that’s maybe just me. Oh and my hearing is excellent btw. My vision…not so much. LOL
Take care!!🤘🏼
Greatest band on Earth. It’s amazing how metal gets criticism for being loud and satanic. Yet most musicians respect metal as a constantly groundbreaking and imaginative genre. You can’t find an untalented metal musician since it requires mastering your art in order to be relevant. And there’s bands like Iron Maiden who are not only talented but in their love for history and literature, have come up with some of the most iconic songs ever. It is really like the contemporary version of classical music. The constant search for perfection. If you ever read this I would love to see a video reaction about how people in the past reacted to metal music. Love your channel and twitch. ❤️
Agree on your comments on Maiden. There are though metal band and musicians who are farrrrr from great musicians.
Dont matter. Hail satan
Well said 🤘
That's awesome bro ever since I was young boy Iron Maiden has been my favorite heavy metal band of all time still to this day they're rocking out like they haven't skipped a beat.
Yes
Prime Bruce was unreal, an absolute powerhouse.
Agreed. It's a shame how much his voice degraded over time. It was sad hearing how little ability and power he had during one of the 2014 tours I went to and listening to some songs of current Maiden stuff now.
When it comes to the debate between Halford and Dickinson, Halford managed to not only preserve most of his voice, but really enhance it in a new direction, adding a deeper operatic power behind it.
So glad that you recognized the genius of Steve Harris' bass lines. He makes Iron Maiden who they are. That gallop is so iconic.
Bruce is classically educated, he also wrote a couple books as well. You can see the huge difference in what iron maiden sounded like and what they sang about before Bruce. He's an amazing guy volunteered to pilot planes bring troops home from Afghanistan.
Steve Harris (Bass) wrote the entire song including the lyrics, and he wrote it last minute to finish the Powerslave album. So this masterpiece was written under pressure like a kid trying to finish their homework on Sunday night, pretty damn impressive and one of many reasons why Steve is one of the greatest songwriters in Metal.
A GENIUS
It's an incredible masterwork of progressive metal.
Your comment about " almost hypnotizing" is spot on. The sailors were drifting on the ocean, with no wind, and no water to drink. slowly dying, nothing to do, but accept their fate they would soon die of thirst. So they just slumped down in the boat, silent, as the they rocked slowly back and forth.
Hi Aileen, please consider reacting to Iron Maiden “Dance of Death” (the Live EN VIVO! version). This is a powerful live performance in front of an electric crowd, which highlights Bruce’s powerful voice, his masterful storytelling abilities and his lyricism, all set to catchy riffs and metal grooves (even a classical accelerating tarantella-style guitar riff at the end). Truly magical!
Yes, Dance Of Death next please.
YES
I've just realised that you post the social medias of the bands you react to in your descriptions. It's shocking how few reactors take the time to do that, much respect!
Thanks for noticing! These bands/artists need some recognition for their talents
"Iconic" is a great way to describe Bruce Dickinson's voice. The band actually originally had another singer, Paul Di'Anno, who was also amazing, but his (alleged) methamphetamine use caused friction with the rest of the band, so they sacked him. A lot of people argued (and some still argue to this day) that firing him was a mistake, though I have no idea how one can truly believe that firing a literal meth-head and hiring one of the most iconic metal singers of all time was a mistake.
not sure about a mistake but I would say the Di'Anno albums are more fun than the Bruce albums personally
Dianno was hands down a better singer, but I grew up with Bruce. I got love for them both.
Listen to Bruce in Samson and he doesn't sound too much like he does in Maiden. Back when he called himself Bruce Bruce. I like both but I don't think Maiden would have gotten as big as they did without Bruce but I do prefer the first 2 albums and Maiden Japan EP with Di'Anno more. Played the crap out the first album when it came out.
they were more punky with Paul and more artsy with Bruce...but I doubt they would have gotten as far and "main stream" with Paul....just sayin'
Killers is an amazing album and Di'Anno is great on it. But Bruce. Well Bruce is Bruce. The greatest frontman of all time.
Best live performing band period!!! Stuff today can't even come close.. many bands in their time period watched them in wonder..
I saw this tour front row in 1984 in Portland Oregon! Still the best show that I have ever seen and I’ve seen well over 100! The storytelling, the mastery of musicianship by every member, and the pure energy of this band is second to none! Up the Irons!
Saw the same concert, just not front row.
As Bruce stated in the intro to the song, it's based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge of the same name. The reason there are so many changes is because they stick to the moods and word choice in this poem. The poem in itself has different 'stages' or chapters with clear dividing lines in tone and feel. It's amazing they managed to replicate the moods and feelings so well without really using lyrics to convey them as much as great musicianship.
I remembering seeing this song live during the Powerslave tour in San Antonio, Tx 1985. This was Maiden at their peak.
Was right there with you great show at the Arena
I agree...one of the greatest songs ever. I've seen them in concert 7 times so far, and I've met Bruce twice. Best live band I've ever seen. Nobody can match them for energy levels, talent and longevity!
Awesome! I've seen em 5 times and met Steve Harris.
@@zfgdun cool! I would love to meet Steve, he is the definition of a living legend 🤟
Never met any of them, but my first concert was seeing the Powerslave tour with my father. He'd never seen me go wild like that to music.
The bass is such a prominent element in Iron Maiden's music because it is basically Steve Harris' band. He started the band, recruited all of its members over the years, and is the mastermind behind the entire enterprise.
I'm glad AileenSenpai didn't become a super model... she makes these video's to be our super model. Love you ❤
Fine of the ancient mariner and powerslave back to back in the mid eighties, was epic, 30 minutes of greatness and don't forget the 40' tall Edie on the stage and the drummer rising up to the rafters
The secret to the "maiden trot" is that bass. He is clinical.
Would love to see your reaction to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son! That entire album is masterpiece after masterpiece, but the title track is on par with Rime of the Ancient Mariner in my opinion!
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son is my favourite song of all times. Would ve great if you could react to it.
Its great to see a reaction that really appreciates the whole band and their chemistry. Steve Harris is a first rate bassist and Bruce has boundless energy, he is also an airline pilot and has flown the band all over the world on Ed Force One. He is also a championship fencer and even presents tv shows, on occasion. As a band they genuinely respect their fans, and fans are loyal to Maiden. Run to the Hills is a personal favourite check it out, it is about the Native Americans and their struggles with the settlers. Up the Irons
Great song based off a great poem. And of course you can't go wrong with Bruce's voice :-)
Bruce has an epic voice, but you got to check JudasPriesr Rob Halfordsinging, especially during the 70s and 80s. Check alive version of victims of changesfrom the 80s, Rob has an amazing voice
Your Maiden reactions are do fkin amazing !!!
Really can't wait for the next..
And yes, they are back touring this year 🤘
If she loves the baselines so much she's in for a real treat with Iron Maiden. Maybe try wrathchild?
First comment, I laughed "nice bangs" Well in metal, hairstyle in important, lol. We read the poem for British Literature class in HS. I brought the song in for class and played it. To think I was listening to this in 1984, pretty sure before you were born Aileen. Man, I'm old. Bruce is a modern Renaissance man - singer of a rock band, commercial pilot, fencer, author, etc. The soft interlude represents the ship adrift at sea as the crew starts to die. Aileen, I encourage you to read over the lyrics to get a better appreciation of the meaning behind the song. The moral of the story comes at the end - "...We must love all things that God made" If you ever want to know what the best Iron Maiden songs are IMO and the meaning behind them, just look at the list I left in the comments of your Fear of the Dark react.
They are touring still too... put that on your bucket list. Their concerts are such an experience.
Iron Maiden is still one of the best live acts ever.
The BEST live versión ever of this song!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
One of my all time faves as well. Hope they play this on the current tour. I'm seeing them live in monday.
Steve Harris the bassist is the primary songwriter so if you like bass this is your jam for sure
I'm loving your descent into Maiden. You're in for such a treat. I can definitely recommend some of their more slow and melodic stuff like Dance of Death, The Talisman, Infinite Dreams, Empire of the Clouds,...
I saw them for this tour in Dallas, Greatness! They opened up with Aces High. Steve Harris was the reason I started playing bass, he is one of the best ever! As a bass player, I agree 100% that we need more love and attention 😁 BTW, Aces High would be excellent choice for your next Maiden song.
Steve Harris the bassist wrote the song and was the founder of the band
Seen them a couple of weeks ago. They are all in their sixties and probably performing better than ever.
The truly insane thing is that nearly 40 years later they *still* sound as good, if not even better. The energy of their show and the musicianship is off the scale!
You noticed how Steve Harris (bass) is often seen singing along as he plays. He wrote the song. I've spotted him doing that in a lot of songs and he happened to write a lot of them.
You lady just opened a Pandora’s box, and I’m so grateful to see you do it.
I know most people will suggest the typical maiden songs, but please please please don’t ignore Dejavú and Caught somewhere in time from the album Somewhere in time. 22 Acacia Avenue and Gangland from Number of the Beast Album. And also, Bruce Dickinson is the the voice that people know maiden for but there is a hidden gem called Paul DiAnno , who was the frontman before Bruce and he is raw power, in which the band over all had a different sound too. Any song from the album Killers is an aggressive powerhouse of metal with some punk elements to it and it must not be ignored.
Thank you for being and doing what you do. 🤘🏽♥︎
Ps. Every song is a Steve Harris bass solo. I’m happy to see you nerd out about it.
It gets even better when you understand what the lyrics are saying. Knowing the story of the rime of the ancient mariner you understand the ship piece in the middle.
Love your reaction
Steve Harris (the Bassist) IS Iron Maiden. It's his baby. He is creator, founder, leader, and writes most of the music and lyrics. He is the only constant since he created Maiden in '75.
He writes all the music and plays the horse trot triplets.
This is one of my 10 songs to take on a deserted island.
Great reaction.
You should do a reaction to "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" studio version. It's a gem.
Saw them for the 10th time in Belfast last week. Still brilliant live.
Eventually you should check "The Red And The Black" from them (Live version, Japan, 2017), to see how they're still making (and performing) absolutely incredible music even to this day.
One of their amazing songs they have so many of them. A song of theirs that doesn't get enough love is "stranger in a strange land"
So many kids have to read the poem in high school - this song is like the heavy metal Cliff Notes. Maiden takes a poem that students may find boring and makes it really exciting. They do that sort of thing with history, too. Imagine having Bruce Dickinson as your history teacher.
As a 53 year old metal head that grew up listening to and attending Maiden concerts it give me goosebumps to see a younger generation get exposed to this genre. Takes me right down memory lane
I actually wrote a paper in college about how their song is a valid version of the poem, seeing as how STC had 18 documented versions of said poem.
Went to see Maiden live for the first time just last week. They were absolutely brilliant!! It’s the music, the animatronics, Bruce, Bruce with a flame thrower, pyro, it’s just a whole show!! Legends!!
4 sold out shows . Thursday through Sunday. Long Beach CA
I could listen to Bruce talk about anything. He should have his own audio books
This band is amazing with the energy level. Reminds me of Pantera’s energy live. Can’t wait for more Pantera on the channel
Fuck Pantera and their racism
Powerslave is also awesome from this concert, it’s a heavy track.
Also If you want to hear a bit of funk with crowd interaction listen to - Running free, also from this concert.
I think the feat that makes you really enjoy Steve's immense bass skill is the volume. Not only the bass is overlooked because of pinches vs bass notes, but it's also often at a lower volume than other instruments (expecially guitars) or at least that's what I perceive. Steve's bass is super loud and that's why I can appreciate his flaming skills so much.
Bruce's stage banter has always been top notch.🤣
Also, other song from this same show to check out are (all of them)
Number of the beast & Powerslave
I always loved playing with an aggressive bass player.....and an aggressive drummer.
One of my all time favorite songs right here.
It al started with Iron Maiden for me! ❤️🤘🏻
Maiden did an insane amount of touring in the 80s and still performed with this energy.
Thanks. You're the first reaction to thos video that actually gave credit to the bass. Steve Harris is one of the best of all time.
prime iron maiden. their best era. nicko mcbrain is my favorite drummer. he plays only with one bass drum and one bass drum pedal. no double bass. he does a ton of very subtle stuff on the drums that only a drum fanatic will pick up. especially his ride cymbal playing.
I've been to 5 Maiden shows and numerous others. No one beats their show. Not only for the teatrics, the sound, and all. What caught my ear with Maiden back in the early 80s was the bass. To me, Steve Harris is the best metal bassist there is. This song is by far my favorite Maiden song.
Iron Maiden is about to tour the US again on their Legacy of the Beast/Senjutsu tour. You should definitely try to go to the nearest show and do a video diary for your channel. Alot of classics on this tour. Keep up the good content!
you were about to cry! This is the greatest song for me. Brings me pleasure to see a young person such as yourself appreciate Iron Maiden.
Maiden is that one band you have to see live in your life time, stage presence and stage set-up is an unforgettable experience.
The true gods of metal! I remember seeing these guys play in the Ruskin arms (in East Ham back in the late 70s early 80s) Paul di`anno was the front man back then when i was around 14! THEY ARE STILL GOING TODAY STRONG!
Thank you for discovering my favorite Metal band. I've subscribed.
On that tour that you are watching I think they played like 200 shows in a year... they are definitely the hardest working band in the business... they always give it their all... and in a later tour... since Bruce is also a pilot... he actually flew the tour plane around the world... it's just insane!!!!
Wow you are beautiful and thank you for letting the song breathe before reacting. I get the copy right shit but you're doing it well. Very nice to see!
this song has amazing lyrics! My favorite song of theirs! Song is like a rollercoaster! You should read the poem, it's amazing too!
Simply put, thank you for doing Iron Maiden reactions. Keep them coming.🎸🥁🙏🏼
Definitely better live versions around but still great, if you get Time, try Bruce's solo stuff tears of the dragon,live , with tribuzy,his voice shine's
his albums accident of birth and the chemical wedding are classics way better than anything maiden were releasing at the time
That performance is so powerful and emotional you may shed a tear!
This is THE best live version - by a mile.
This is their heyday. Hungry , young and all on top of their game.
Stage considered to be best of all time,iconic.
If you prefer the old age pensioner versions (flight 666 or whatever) then I serious don't understand you - bizarre, to say the least.
@@simonpage6549 lol don't wet your knickers, i don't think it's the best version of the mariner vocally, deal with it
@@nightonthetiles8833 I guess you're one of those late developers who prefer Bruce's strained, cringey vocals and the band generally ready for the knackers yard.
You missed the boat, deal with it 🙄
My favorite metal band of all time!!!! This was filmed in the mid 80's, (84/85?)... I had the pleasure to see them twice in this decade. Bruce is the man, that's for sure!!!!!! If I had a time machine, I'd go back for sure just to witness this greatness all over again..... Keep rocking Aileen... Love all your videos!!!!
Long beach IN 85 Yes
such a great reaction for one of the greatest songs ever done. ı suggest you The Talisman, Dance of the dead, Hell on earth or any maiden song will do it
Rime is my been my Favorite Maiden song since 1984.. And still is to this day.
I saw them live in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Still bringing all the energy, and the sets have only gotten more elaborate and bigger. They have a life-size Spitfire pitching and rolling above them for "Aces High" to close out the current tour.
YES! RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER! AMAZING SONG! Gonna give this video an thumbs up even before i watched it! :D But since i liked your previous maiden reactions, i think it´s quite a safe bet that i will like this one as well! :D
Bruce is an excellent stage performer: he embodies the songs. OMG am I a fanboy huh?
I think you need to check out a live performance of "The writing on the wall". They are touring right now and still have the same energy.

Great!!!
In my Top 3 Maiden songs!!!
Greetings from Spain!
I just found your channel and must say that you are awsome!!! The love and appreciation you have for metal is outstanding. On the Iron Maiden front a suggestion from myself would be The Clairvoyant. It's one of my favorites though there aren't many that aren't. Enjoy and have a Very Metal Day
Bruce Dickinson is on the short list for greatest metal singers along with Dio, Halford, Tate, Meine. In my opinion.
Pretty much my list too
up the irons 🤘 keep going down the rabbit hole the catalog is long and amazing
Great song, loved your reaction and the detailed comments you made about the musical performance; I would suggest you also look into the lyrics and the message of the song especially with this one but in general Maiden´s songs are deep and leave you some to think about aside from the great musical display. Keep going! Up the Irons!!
I got my tickets for September in SLC this year. So excited!!
One time I saw them in Philly for Somewhere in time. Almost passed out. All the chairs were smushed up front. A crush to the stge. We pushed everyone back because a kid fainted next to us,. Great show.
One year after this reaction I can't help but chime in. This is definitely one of the greatest metal songs of all time, from one of the greatest metal bands of all time. And those guys are pure class. Steve Harris, the bass player gave up a successful career as a professional soccer player..... To create the band "Ash Mountain". Later changed to Iron Maiden. In their younger years, they 5 of them would challenge fans to get a team together and play a game of soccer. And Bruce is a successful jet airliner pilot. He flies them around the world to their concert destination on their own 747... Flight 666. They are quite remarkable people. So glad Steve was inspired in music over soccer. Look at what we would've missed out on. So fun watching your reaction. ❤❤
For an amazing bass solo, check out Orion by Metallica. It’s an instrumental with an epic bass solo in the second half of the song.
When they perform this, you are witnessing the pinnacle of music performances and heartfelt thanks for their audience. So privileged to have seen them multie times.
If you're just getting into Iron Maiden....Don't be shocked when you see Bruce in the newer videos. He has short hair now. He got his pilot's license and flew for British Airways. He flew Iron Maidens 747 Ed Force One for the band,crew and equipment for over a decade. Bruce still fly's for British Airways as a second job. I first saw Iron Maiden live in Germany in the mid 80's at one of Germany's iconic MONSTER'S OF METAL concert's.
You must see them live. I've seen them 5 times and met Steve Harris (bassist) once. They still have this level of energy. This is my favorite song, and hope they do it live again.
One of my absolute favorite parts in any Maiden song is in Stranger in a Strange land. There's a beautiful bass/guitar duet leading into the solo. Steve is a legend. I'd say Steve and Geezer Butler are the two most important bass players in metal.
Living bassists yes, Cliff Burton needs to be on that list too.
First reaction I've seen to this track - Great choice. Look forward to more deeper cuts.
Thank you so much for giving long songs a chance. A single long song has so, so much to offer, even when they are only instrumental. Plus they are great to concentrate.
Lead singer, Bruce Dickenson, was an Olympic class fencer. That's probably where he gets his stamina and energy from. Plus, this was from the mid '80's, around '84 or '85, so he was a lot younger then.
Imagine how good you have to be to play that long with so many changes that they hit with perfection.
Little interesting side note about Bruce Dickinson, he’s a pilot/singer/fencer/soccer player, he even beat throat cancer and is STILL singing in Iron Maiden and performing to this day.
The man is just…..he should have been Knighted by the Queen (God rest her soul, my condolences Great Britain), I mean no Blasphemy but Bruce isn’t just a Legend he’s a Metal God. Even Metallica says that they were heavily influenced by Iron Maiden, which in turn means Megadeth was as well, since Dave Mustane was a member of Metallica in their beginning.
Really need to see their music video for “Wasted Years”, awesome message, awesome song, and some “behind the scenes/off stage glimpses into their lives, it’s very cool.
Good music captures you..Great music captures your soul.... And never lets go.
The thing that always cracks me up with this is it's an almost perfect explanation of the poem for anyone previously baffled by it. It's actually useful for Eng Lit students.
Seen those guys in Edmonton they Rock man played some great songs I had a awesome time 🤘
