I’ve been requesting Iron Maiden’s Hallowed be thy name for months now but this is a good introduction to them.Thanks for finally getting to Maiden.Up the Irons!
Iron Maiden is a versatile band, their sound is constantly changing and evolving. They can go from a Heavy sound to this kind of beautiful song. In order to really appreciate how good they are you need to check out their live videos. Check out any song from Rock in Rio or En Vivo or the Flight 666 dvd. You will only end up becoming real fans.
Their singer Bruce Dickinson is licensed commercial pilot, an author, an avid fencer once ranked 7th in Great Britain and competed internationally, 2 honorary doctorates one in music another in philosophy the list of things he does can go on forever
@@HAILProphecy___ Agree...some song are not great, but none is bad. No Prayer For The Dying holds a special place in my heart...was my first Maiden concert.
Blood brothers isn't their signature sound per se, beings as theyve never had a signature sound, they explore every facet of power metal, folk metal,speed metal and thrash
Well you could say that their signature sound is that very melodic, guitar-centered music. And at least since the return of the Bruce, they've had that certain Maiden-ness about them, with the very progressive-ish music, triple lead guitars and obviously, Bruce's voice (which I admit is their signature only for the times he's been with the band, obviously). I agree that it's hard to put forth a "quintessential" Iron Maiden song, because they've evolved so much over the years, but propably something off of Seventh Son would be pretty good as a representation. Then again, Number of the Beast and Fear of the Dark are propably their most-listened-to songs (and Hallowed Be Thy Name), so perhaps either of those three would serve as well?
Yes, finally down to masters of storytelling 😀 Now that's quite an odd choice to start with, but ain't easy to pick a song from a 40+ years catalog 😂 Group was formed in 1975 and first album released in 1980, not power ballad at all, had a heavy sound ! Some recs: Hallowed be thy name live 1982. Fear of the dark or sign of the cross or The Clansman from Rock in Rio (never bad to pick that Rock in Rio 2001) Phantom of the Opera live download festival 2013. But there are so many songs to recommend, hope you'll enjoy them 😉 Edit: have to add my bias here saying that Bruce Dickinson is one of the best singers I've heard, Steve Harris is a beast on bass, Nicko McBrain on drums is really interesting and funny guy (and single bass pedal player), Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers on guitar are good too (yes, they're with 3 guitarists since 1999 when Adrian and Bruce came back to the band) 😀
That was an excellent synopsis of the band,For the record, I chose blood Brothers because I knew they would love it, just easing their way into greatness.
Definitely Need some more maiden. A Personal favourite of mine is Aces High. Got to listen to rime of the ancient mariner as well. I am also a fan of the song revelations and still life. So many good songs.
This is one of the most beautiful songs by Iron maiden, it sounds like a waltz ... I mainly recommend Hallow be thy name for the lyrics and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner for the music. They don't have bad songs. Thank you.
This is one of their more mellow songs, and this album is from 2000. Try some of their stuff from the 80's: Run to the Hills, Can I Play With Madness?, Aces High, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, all that.
My suggestion is that after today, wait until you complete the Tool catalog and immediately go down the Iron Maiden rabbit hole. They have a vast library of epic songs to pull from. And this is a mellow song compared to most IM compositions.
Fear of the Dark, Run for the Hills, The Trooper, Two Minutes to Midnight, and Aces High are their biggest songs. Steve Harris, their bass player, and Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer, are their main lyricists. Harris writes his songs mostly about nightmares he's had, and Bruce mostly writes about historical wars and stuff.
Thank you. Please react to Powerslave live Flight 666. They do put on an amazing live show. Or if you want to hear something similar to Blood Brothers, then Dance of Death is good one to check out.
Other Maiden must-listens: Caught Somewhere in Time, Wasted Years, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Sea of Madness, Run for the Hills, Number of the Beast, The Evil That Men Do, Fear of the Dark
Iron Maiden is one of the best metal bands of all time. Such depth. And the BEST instrumentation you can get. Dual guitars, amazing vocals. Always meaningful lyrics. I fuckin love Maiden.
Great reaction, Iron Maiden has had a few singers over the decades but Bruce Dickinson is their most prolific. I did que up one their epic songs for you boys on Patreon, which i cant wait to see your react to it!! :p
We just introduced them to another amazing band, they will quickly learn that Bruce, the human air raid siren, is the greatest frontman. This journey is gonna be Phenomenal.
One of their shows I worked at MSG they blew a breaker on the stage then while the crew was fixing it they broke out in a game of 🥅 ⚽️ onstage for about 5 minutes. You need to do more Maiden. Number of the Beast, RunTo The Hills, The Trooper, Aces High, Wasted Years.
'The Iron Maiden'was actually a nickname for Margaret Thatcher( Prime Minister of the UK during the 80s) referring to hear strength of will and no BS attitude. The Guys named the Band after her because of their political views of the time, hence Iron Maiden. Also The Iron Maiden torture device wasn't real but an artists sculpture of a torture device, I only found that out recently by doing research on European history.There is a video on UA-cam somewhere about this too. (Edit-ua-cam.com/video/wVOk7dDwVjw/v-deo.html. Historical context of the Iron Maiden Torture device) Also the picking tone is a characteristic of an electric guitar on chorus setting. As a longtime Maiden Fan I recommend 'Dance Of Death' for one of their later songs and 'Powerslave' for one of the earlier 80s songs.
Thatcher's nickname was 'Iron Lady'. The band has nothing up with her political views. On the contrary. That the band was named after the torture device is much more likely.
@@williegotland It was in an interview they did in the 80s, I have it on DVD! They just changed the name slightly because they didn't want to provoke the media.
@@rodneypayne4827 Yes, I see some reference to that interview in other discussions on the web as well. Although there are also fans that say its BS. Anyways, she did inspire them for a few nice pieces of artwork, e.g., the cover or ' Sanctuary'.
Iron Maiden is definitely a progressive metal band...for the most part. Some of their very early stuff is a bit more in your face, but even then they still had a progressive element. This band is absolutely worth exploring, they have an impressive catalog of great music.
Prowler, running free, the trooper, run to the hills, number of the beast, aces high, two minuts to midnight and many many more.... this is one of the bands that have produced the most music out there..
Iron Maiden is one of the most extraordinary live bands. Iron Maiden is to watch them kicking ass on stage, not only listening the studio version. My recommendation, guys, to start: THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER (from Flight 666) FEAR OF THE DARK (from "Rock in Rio 2001") DANCE OF DEATH (from "Death on the Road") Trust me, Trash Talkers. You will not be disappointed. 😉😉
Holy shit. You’ve opened Pandora’s Box now. Iron Maiden pioneered power metal as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. This is actually an odd song to be introduced to them. It’s one of their mid-career songs (2000) and a more melodic and mellow one compared to many others. It is a good thing to show their range and diversity. A more classic ballad-ish song is Fear of the Dark (Live in Rio). Now you gotta do a classic, rocking masterpiece, of which there are many: Number of the Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Run to the Hills, Powerslave, The Trooper, Wasted Years, Seventh Son of Seventh Son, Somewhere in Time, Two Minutes to Midnight, The Clairvoyant... so many. My personal favorite is Aces High, a song about the Battle of Britain that makes you feel like you were there. I can’t wait to see you guys react to more Maiden. Up the irons! P.S. The primary singer, Bruce Dickinson, is arguably one of the greatest vocalists ever, right up there with Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio.
Hallowed be thy name. Maidens early mega hits. Caught somewhere in time. Fast in your face sound. Fear of the dark, live at Rio. Shows their amazing live performances. With iron maiden there are many to choose from. So many gems.
You guys just need to listen to that entire album from beginning to end. I liked Iron Maiden before Brave New World came out, but that was the album that made me obsessed with their music.
Iron Maiden is the kind of band that once you see them live, you'll never what miss them again when the come to your town! They are one of the bands that i seen most, i've been lucky to enjoy there masterpieces shows 6 time since 1998! I see already a lot of great suggestions, mine will be there heavyest song, because no one react to it: Be Quick or Be Dead !
Iron Maiden is the ultimate metal band the do everything great. Not just their music, but their vocals as well. There are like Rush, Pink Floyd, Tool, Zeppelin. You just have to observe it all.
The original monsters of rock. Donington festival came from Iron Maiden who actually used to headline Donington Monsters Of Rock festival every year and now is know as Donington Festival. You should listen to Iron Maiden - the evil that men do , afraid to shoot strangers, and fear of the Dark .
Ya gotta do Run to the Hills...you guys will love it. Keep it up guys. I love seeing you guys react to the music I have been listening to for over 20yrs. It's like re-living them all over again. I can't wait to see more NIN, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle ⭕. Hey you guys know much about Pearl Jam? 2 more to put on the list... Pearl Jam Long Road and Just Breathe. Both are songs that I played after I watched my wife take her last breathe...she passed away from breast cancer in 2015. Rock on fellas...
If they ever swing by your neck of the woods, its a show every one who listens to metal has to catch at least once. Their Live Performances are some of my best memories (have seen them live 5 times now). If I may suggest, Rime of the Ancient Mariner Live - Flight 666 or Fear of the Dark Live - Rock in Rio are fantastic performances. Some of their more notable tracks are Number of the Beast, The Trooper, Hallowed be thy Name, and Run to the Hills. Yes, their are tons of live performances of each of these tracks too! Y'all keep it up!
Welcome to my evil plan, I knew this track would get their attention, now the subscribers need to blow up the Suggestions and we will get our Maiden Mondays 😉
The song was written by their chief maestro, Steve Harris (bassist), and it was inspired by his father's death. My old dad died last year and either way, it's an emotional song. It's beautiful. Thx, guys
in a later video you mention that youre thinking about doing a maiden monday, if you do you better set aside a shit ton of mondays then. they have (i think) more than 15 studio albums
They got so many great songs it’s hard to pick one as their greatest, many like Hallowed Be Thy Name, Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner, I would suggest one of those two for your next reaction. Up the irons!
Iron maiden is my all time favourite band, I've had the pleasure of seeing them live and it's honestly the best moment of my life so far, even after beating throat cancer Bruce is still rocking it with the best of them. Also just to clarify, the mayflower was in 1620.
Blood Brothers was written by the bassist after his father abruptly died while on tour so he had no knowledge of this until someone offhandedly mentioned it to him. To Tame A Land is based off the book DUNE, and even called that, but Frank Herbert hated heavy metal so Iron Maiden changed the title. Give that one a listen, it's one of their best 80s tracks.
As I have said in the past.. Iron Maiden is one of those few bands where you can print out a copy of the song titles for every song they have ever released.. pin it to a wall and throw a dart at the list. No matter which song the dart hits.. it will be a great song.
Iron Maiden Bangers: Where Eagles Dare, Revelations, Flight of Icarus, Die With Your Boots On, The Trooper, Moonchild, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Infinite Dreams, Only the Good Die Young, The Evil That Men Do, Wasted Years, Aces High, Hallowed Be Thy Name. Just to name a few. Too many to list
Anything from 2001 Rock in Rio show from them is awesome. I was at that show and was the only time I've seen them out of the states. Haven't missed a U.S. show since they first started touring here. (Age Check...). Last time I saw them was on Sept. Friday the 13th, 2019 in Las Vegas and again on the 14th in Los Angeles. Been a fan from day one. ✌🤘
One of my favorites by them, you guys should really give wasted years and Hallowed by thy name a listen. Im sure im not the first by a long shot to suggest that one lol love you guys, you rock
This is a great song but I would not suggest it to showcase the band. You need to hear Hallowed be Thy Name, Powerslave, Caught Somewhere in Time, or To Tame a Land. The instrumentation is amazing and the guitar harmonies and solos are epic.
Adrian had quit Maiden in late '89 I believe, around that time and leading into '90 Bruce was doing some solo stuff. Janick was doing guitars for Bruce's projects and by knowing Bruce Janick got into Maiden and replaced Adrian. Janick joined in early '90 and has been in since. Bruce quit Maiden in '94 but he and Adrian rejoined together in '99, Bruce being away 5 years and Adrian 10 years. Bruce had said if Adrian didn't rejoin then he wouldn't have, so since '99 Maiden has had 3 guitarists. Also Michael McBrain, most known to be Nicko McBrain replaced Clive Burr on drums in '83 and has been the drummer since. Nicko was Maiden's drinking buddy and was in a French band called Trust.
The Maiden song with the most views is their live 1982 performance of Hallowed By Thy Name. I don't usually agree with the "most views" criterion, but I do in this case.
Alexander the Great. They have never performed this badass song in concert for some reason. Check out Bruce Dickensons, Accident of Birth. Really awesome, kick ass album!
You wanna react to MAIDEN Check out "Phantom of the Opera" from their first Album IRON MAIDEN IRON MAIDEN ..With singer Paul Di'Anno,IRON MAIDEN RAW before the refining.Here Is a link.. ua-cam.com/video/t5jaRipA5_M/v-deo.html What you just listened to,"Blood Brothers" is Maiden much later in their career, this is not the sound that made them who they are ...Start at the beginning then progress through the years....after "Phantom" Check out "Killers" then Bruce takes over Vocals More great songs with Bruce Dickenson on vocals"Hallowed be thy Name", "Where Eagles Dare", "Revelations" ,then the Iconic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
Well, to answer your question, I’d say it’s one of their slower more ballad like songs on THAT album which was released in the 2000’s (can’t remember exactly). As far as whether it’s a good entry into maiden I’d actually say yes. Old school fans may disagree with me on that one and say number of the beast or fear of the dark. Maiden always sounds like maiden. Nobody like em. You’ll end up diggin them as much as Tool if you give em a chance. My favorite song from the same album as blood brothers is the thin line between love and hate (or nomad...) Great react as always \m/
Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills got me hooked in my teens. Number of the Beast is one of the first cassettes I bought on my own, 12 or 13 I think I was.
I’m just gonna post this on all your videos until you spot it! 😅 As a fellow lover of Tool (how I found your channel many months ago), you need to check out: Tesseract - Of Matter Proxy Believe me you won’t be disappointed. Clearly Tool inspired, and utterly awesome. Also, want something completely different, and a new mini series? React to Tim Minchin’s back catalogue. Maybe start with “inflatable you”. Now that would be a series I’d watch as religiously as Tool Tuesdays!
This entire album is fire. I was a huge Iron Maiden fan in the 80’s. When Bruce left I stopped listening. I didn't hear this album until 2010. I went to see Iron Maiden in concert and they played this song.....i had never heard it. I was hooked. This whole album is classic Iron Maiden.
As far as Iron maiden sounds go, they had four stages to their career... Early days, (78-82) with their original singer: fast, funky and aggressive. Mid career, (83-92) with the classic lineup: raw, dark and experimental. (Most maiden fans only listen to these). Hiatus years (93-99) with a replacement singer and guitarist: epic, big, but not well produced. Layer years (00-20) with the best lineup and Bruce returns: very much like Blood brothers, with a lot of polish. - personally my favourites are mostly from these 6 records...
All I got is 2 things, I Love you guys & UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘🤘
Morning James. Quite the wake up call. Thanks
I’m pretty sure they liked it 😎had to ease them into greatness 😉
@@-TRIAD- Saw that. Well done.🤘
@@-TRIAD- Cant wait...but ill have to wait for Rime. Truly epic literary transition from literature to song. Thanks Professor Harris.😎
Thanks for everything triad, you my friend are an OG Trash Talker!!!
One Maiden song that I don't don't see many reactions to is Seventh Son of a Seventh Son so you should do that one. Absolute fire!
Yes!
Classic also moonchild
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Yes, but only after Rime of the Ancient Mariner (from Flight 666)
DUDE!!! That was my first Maiden album!
I’ve been requesting Iron Maiden’s Hallowed be thy name for months now but this is a good introduction to them.Thanks for finally getting to Maiden.Up the Irons!
I cant wait to see them react to Hallowed Be Thy Name!!!
Give Darrel his Hallowed Be Thy Name!!
i love hallowed be thy name i also love cradle of filths version 💓

Beat me to it
And played pro soccer
Oh ya then there is Steve Harris!
And he’s a human air raid siren 😂
And had cancer in his throat, beat it, and still sings like a boss.
One does not simply listen to Iron Maiden, one FEELS Iron Maiden. UP THE IRONS!!! ✌🤘
Seventh son of a seventh son is one of the best albums of all time. Not a bad song on it.
Not one of the best... THE best! 😉
Non of their albums had a bad song! Even with Blaze their albums were good. My favorite album is No Prayer For The Dying. Such an underrated album.
@@HAILProphecy___ Agree...some song are not great, but none is bad. No Prayer For The Dying holds a special place in my heart...was my first Maiden concert.
Maiden is the Greatest Metal band ever. Bruce Dickinson is the singer he is also. Dr. A pilot and the best story teller of all time.
With our a doubt, the greatest getting man of all time. Ok, as good as Freddie Mercury
Fear of the dark. Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a must.
Need to react to live versions.
Fear of the Dark - Rock in Rio
Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Flight 666
Great reaction. Do anything from Rock in Rio. Always do live versions when reacting to Iron Maiden.

2001? I reckon that it's probably one of the best live performances in history!
Wasted Years is my favorite of the Iron Maiden songs I’ve heard, which I think y’all would like 😊🤘🏽
Yes, finally down to masters of storytelling 😀
Now that's quite an odd choice to start with, but ain't easy to pick a song from a 40+ years catalog 😂

Dude, its dope that you react all the time to deep cuts like this. Its why this channel isnt boring.
Well ty my friend
This is one of the most beautiful songs by Iron maiden, it sounds like a waltz ... I mainly recommend Hallow be thy name for the lyrics and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner for the music. They don't have bad songs. Thank you.
"Fear Of The Dark" from the Rock in Rio concert is an excellent representation of the finest live metal act of all time!
2001 Rock in Rio to be exact. I was there and haven't been to any other festival that even comes close to that one. ✌🤘
This is one of their more mellow songs, and this album is from 2000. Try some of their stuff from the 80's: Run to the Hills, Can I Play With Madness?, Aces High, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, all that.
it's time for: Iron Maiden - Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
My suggestion is that after today, wait until you complete the Tool catalog and immediately go down the Iron Maiden rabbit hole. They have a vast library of epic songs to pull from. And this is a mellow song compared to most IM compositions.
Wonderful reaction
A lot of their music has so much melody.
Have so many songs to groove to
CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN TIME
Love these guys in concert. Its awesome when crazy Eddie comes on stage. They put on one hell of a show!!! Rock-On.
Good to see you going down another rabbit hole. Iron maiden are another of the greatest bands in metal history!
A really great heavy one from the same album is Ghost of the Navigator, that riff is so fucking epic
Thank you guys so much. I thought only I felt like this song is underappreciated.
Fear of the Dark, Run for the Hills, The Trooper, Two Minutes to Midnight, and Aces High are their biggest songs. Steve Harris, their bass player, and Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer, are their main lyricists. Harris writes his songs mostly about nightmares he's had, and Bruce mostly writes about historical wars and stuff.

Both are songs that I played after I watched my wife take her last breathe...she passed away from breast cancer in 2015. Rock on fellas...
If they ever swing by your neck of the woods, its a show every one who listens to metal has to catch at least once. Their Live Performances are some of my best memories (have seen them live 5 times now). If I may suggest, Rime of the Ancient Mariner Live - Flight 666 or Fear of the Dark Live - Rock in Rio are fantastic performances. Some of their more notable tracks are Number of the Beast, The Trooper, Hallowed be thy Name, and Run to the Hills. Yes, their are tons of live performances of each of these tracks too! Y'all keep it up!
Maiden Monday's incoming? I can only hope!
Hell yes!!!!
Welcome to my evil plan, I knew this track would get their attention, now the subscribers need to blow up the Suggestions and we will get our Maiden Mondays 😉
Great reaction! Please do more Iron Maiden!
The song was written by their chief maestro, Steve Harris (bassist), and it was inspired by his father's death. My old dad died last year and either way, it's an emotional song. It's beautiful. Thx, guys
"Up the Irons Guys"🤘🤘 Awesome Reaction!
The trooper! Love that maiden song
in a later video you mention that youre thinking about doing a maiden monday, if you do you better set aside a shit ton of mondays then. they have (i think) more than 15 studio albums
Up the irons great song reaction guys run to the hills os a great on by IM cant wait until you all get deeper into their wonder catalog.
Hallowed by thy name. Live 82. One of the Best heavy metal song ever .
They got so many great songs it’s hard to pick one as their greatest, many like Hallowed Be Thy Name, Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner, I would suggest one of those two for your next reaction. Up the irons!
Iron maiden is my all time favourite band, I've had the pleasure of seeing them live and it's honestly the best moment of my life so far, even after beating throat cancer Bruce is still rocking it with the best of them. Also just to clarify, the mayflower was in 1620.
Another great song for reacting is Powerslave!
Love IRON MAIDEN, Brave New World is such a good album.
Dream of Mirrors, best song on the album. Fight me bout it.
Ghost of the Navigator
@@gabifromhell Great song. But still not the best lol
Blood Brothers was written by the bassist after his father abruptly died while on tour so he had no knowledge of this until someone offhandedly mentioned it to him.
To Tame A Land is based off the book DUNE, and even called that, but Frank Herbert hated heavy metal so Iron Maiden changed the title. Give that one a listen, it's one of their best 80s tracks.
As I have said in the past.. Iron Maiden is one of those few bands where you can print out a copy of the song titles for every song they have ever released.. pin it to a wall and throw a dart at the list. No matter which song the dart hits.. it will be a great song.
It's time for Opeth, A Fair Judgement. Do it trash talkers
Iron Maiden Bangers: Where Eagles Dare, Revelations, Flight of Icarus, Die With Your Boots On, The Trooper, Moonchild, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Infinite Dreams, Only the Good Die Young, The Evil That Men Do, Wasted Years, Aces High, Hallowed Be Thy Name. Just to name a few. Too many to list
Hi guys, a fan from Brazil.....you should watch Fear of the Dark Live at Donington in 1992. The crowd was insane!!
Anything from 2001 Rock in Rio show from them is awesome. I was at that show and was the only time I've seen them out of the states. Haven't missed a U.S. show since they first started touring here. (Age Check...). Last time I saw them was on Sept. Friday the 13th, 2019 in Las Vegas and again on the 14th in Los Angeles. Been a fan from day one. ✌🤘
Another chill song with original singer, Strange new world!!
One of my favorites by them, you guys should really give wasted years and Hallowed by thy name a listen. Im sure im not the first by a long shot to suggest that one lol love you guys, you rock
the sound in this song is just too Good!!
Iron Maiden live 1982 Hammersmith :) Hallowed be thy name. ;) BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM THE BEST SONG OF IRON MAIDEN.
Powerslave is the title track of Iron Maidens Powerslave album. It's from 1984 and it's a must to react to!
This is a great song but I would not suggest it to showcase the band. You need to hear Hallowed be Thy Name, Powerslave, Caught Somewhere in Time, or To Tame a Land. The instrumentation is amazing and the guitar harmonies and solos are epic.
Adrian had quit Maiden in late '89 I believe, around that time and leading into '90 Bruce was doing some solo stuff. Janick was doing guitars for Bruce's projects and by knowing Bruce Janick got into Maiden and replaced Adrian. Janick joined in early '90 and has been in since. Bruce quit Maiden in '94 but he and Adrian rejoined together in '99, Bruce being away 5 years and Adrian 10 years. Bruce had said if Adrian didn't rejoin then he wouldn't have, so since '99 Maiden has had 3 guitarists. Also Michael McBrain, most known to be Nicko McBrain replaced Clive Burr on drums in '83 and has been the drummer since. Nicko was Maiden's drinking buddy and was in a French band called Trust.
The Maiden song with the most views is their live 1982 performance of Hallowed By Thy Name. I don't usually agree with the "most views" criterion, but I do in this case.
Alexander the Great.
They have never performed this badass song in concert for some reason.
Check out Bruce Dickensons, Accident of Birth.
Really awesome, kick ass album!
Holy fuck, Brave New World was considered a newschool Maiden album, but it's already 20 years old.
You wanna react to MAIDEN Check out "Phantom of the Opera" from their first Album IRON MAIDEN IRON MAIDEN ..With singer Paul Di'Anno,IRON MAIDEN RAW before the refining.Here Is a link..
ua-cam.com/video/t5jaRipA5_M/v-deo.html
What you just listened to,"Blood Brothers" is Maiden much later in their career, this is not the sound that made them who they are ...Start at the beginning then progress through the years....after "Phantom" Check out "Killers" then Bruce takes over Vocals
More great songs with Bruce Dickenson on vocals"Hallowed be thy Name", "Where Eagles Dare", "Revelations" ,then the Iconic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
Welcome to the giant rabbit hole boyz, it's deeeeeeeeep ;)
Not only does Bruce's voice tell the story but so does the music. ✌🤘
Well, to answer your question, I’d say it’s one of their slower more ballad like songs on THAT album which was released in the 2000’s (can’t remember exactly).
As far as whether it’s a good entry into maiden I’d actually say yes. Old school fans may disagree with me on that one and say number of the beast or fear of the dark. Maiden always sounds like maiden. Nobody like em. You’ll end up diggin them as much as Tool if you give em a chance. My favorite song from the same album as blood brothers is the thin line between love and hate (or nomad...)
Great react as always \m/
Brave New World was released in 2000, I appreciate you agreeing with me 👍🤘🤘
You guys would love Maiden's Face In The Sand. Sounds like Blood Brothers, but much heavier, both in sound and content.
Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills got me hooked in my teens. Number of the Beast is one of the first cassettes I bought on my own, 12 or 13 I think I was.
I loved this album so much when I was younger.
The thin line between love and hate!!!
I’m just gonna post this on all your videos until you spot it! 😅
As a fellow lover of Tool (how I found your channel many months ago), you need to check out: Tesseract - Of Matter Proxy
Believe me you won’t be disappointed. Clearly Tool inspired, and utterly awesome.
Also, want something completely different, and a new mini series? React to Tim Minchin’s back catalogue. Maybe start with “inflatable you”. Now that would be a series I’d watch as religiously as Tool Tuesdays!
I don't know if you can do a live reaction but Iron Maiden in Rio is spectacular
This entire album is fire. I was a huge Iron Maiden fan in the 80’s. When Bruce left I stopped listening. I didn't hear this album until 2010. I went to see Iron Maiden in concert and they played this song.....i had never heard it. I was hooked. This whole album is classic Iron Maiden.
Such a classic, love it!
As far as Iron maiden sounds go, they had four stages to their career...
Early days, (78-82) with their original singer: fast, funky and aggressive.
Mid career, (83-92) with the classic lineup: raw, dark and experimental. (Most maiden fans only listen to these).
Hiatus years (93-99) with a replacement singer and guitarist: epic, big, but not well produced.
Layer years (00-20) with the best lineup and Bruce returns: very much like Blood brothers, with a lot of polish. - personally my favourites are mostly from these 6 records...
