    When I was around 12 or 13 during the late 90's, I was walking around Walmart in the music section and I saw this album with awesome Egyptian style art work . I picked it up, turned it around and read the song titles. One of them was ''Rime of the Ancient Mariner'', and there began my journey with Heavy Metal. I never looked back.

    The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, written in 1797-98 and published in 1798 in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads. Some modern editions use a revised version printed in 1817 that featured a gloss. Along with other poems in Lyrical Ballads, it is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature.
    This is what makes Maiden so amazing....musically and lyrically talented beyond belief.

    The mariner's tale begins with his ship departing on its journey. Despite initial good fortune, the ship is driven south by a storm and eventually reaches Antarctic waters. An albatross appears and leads them out of the ice jam where they are stuck, but even as the albatross is praised by the ship's crew, the mariner shoots the bird:
    With my cross-bow, I shot the albatross.
    The crew is angry with the mariner, believing the albatross brought the south wind that led them out of the Antarctic. However, the sailors change their minds when the weather becomes warmer and the mist disappears:
    'Twas right, said they, such birds to slay, That bring the fog and mist.
    They soon find that they made a grave mistake in supporting this crime, as it arouses the wrath of spirits who then pursue the ship "from the land of mist and snow"; the south wind that had initially led them from the land of ice now sends the ship into uncharted waters near the equator, where it is becalmed.
    Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. The very deep did rot - Oh Christ! That ever this should be. Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs, Upon the slimy sea.
    The sailors change their minds again and blame the mariner for the torment of their thirst. In anger, the crew forces the mariner to wear the dead albatross about his neck, perhaps to illustrate the burden he must suffer from killing it, or perhaps as a sign of regret:
    Ah! Well a-day! What evil looks Had I from old and young! Instead of the cross, the albatross About my neck was hung.
    Eventually, the ship encounters a ghostly hulk. On board are Death (a skeleton) and the "Night-mare Life-in-Death", a deathly-pale woman, who are playing dice for the souls of the crew. With a roll of the dice, Death wins the lives of the crew members and Life-in-Death the life of the mariner, a prize she considers more valuable. Her name is a clue to the mariner's fate: he will endure a fate worse than death as punishment for his killing of the albatross.
    One by one, all of the crew members die, but the mariner lives on, seeing for seven days and nights the curse in the eyes of the crew's corpses, whose last expressions remain upon their faces. Eventually, this stage of the mariner's curse is lifted after he appreciates the sea creatures swimming in the water. Despite his cursing them as "slimy things" earlier in the poem, he suddenly sees their true beauty and blesses them ("a spring of love gush'd from my heart, and I bless'd them unaware"); suddenly, as he manages to pray, the albatross falls from his neck and his guilt is partially expiated. The bodies of the crew, possessed by good spirits, rise again and help steer the ship. In a trance, the mariner hears two spirits discussing his voyage and penance, and learns that the ship is being powered supernaturally:
    The air is cut away before, And closes from behind.
    Finally the mariner comes in sight of his homeland, but is initially uncertain as to whether or not he is hallucinating.
    Oh! Dream of joy! Is this indeed The light-house top I see? Is this the hill? Is this the kirk? Is this mine own countree? We drifted o'er the harbour-bar, And I with sobs did pray- O let me be awake, my God! Or let me sleep alway.
    The rotten remains of the ship sink in a whirlpool, leaving only the mariner behind. A hermit on the mainland had seen the approaching ship and had come to meet it with a pilot and his boy, in a boat. When they pull him from the water, they think he is dead, but when he opens his mouth, the pilot has a fit. The hermit prays, and the mariner picks up the oars to row. The pilot's boy goes crazy and laughs, thinking the mariner is the devil, and cries, "The Devil knows how to row". As penance for shooting the albatross, the mariner, driven by guilt, is forced to wander the earth, telling his story over and over, and teaching a lesson to those he meets:
    He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.
    After relaying the story, the mariner leaves, and the wedding guest returns home, and wakes the next morning "a sadder and a wiser man".
    The poem received mixed reviews from critics, and Coleridge was once told by the publisher that most of the book's sales were to sailors who thought it was a naval songbook. Coleridge made several modifications to the poem over the years. In the second edition of Lyrical Ballads, published in 1800, he replaced many of the archaic words.

    There are literally hundreds if not more people doing metal reaction videos on UA-cam. You sir are not among the best. You are the best! I mean that sincerely. Take it from a guy who has been into Maiden since 1981 and has seen them in concert 3 times. I know 3 times isn't necessarily that many but I saw them at their peak starting with the Powerslave Tour, the Somewhere on Tour and finally the Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour. Maiden is incredible live.
    They are all top notch musicians who pride themselves on putting on the very best show possible. From the elaborate stage sets to the state of the art lighting and sound systems they employ to the fantastic level of energy they give to each performance and to the unparalleled consistency they have from show to show and tour to tour. Simply put, Iron Maiden never has an "off" night and they have cultivated one of the most fiercely loyal and massive fan bases in rock history.
    That fan base of theirs is multi generational and they are a stadium act all over the world. Preston, you do an amazing job with these videos. It really stands out how genuine you are. It's also great to watch your awe and wonder that one feels when they are discovering something new that they really enjoy. You also have great taste in the bands that you like and generally prefer. Love the channel and I will tell as many people I can about it. Peace!

I've checked out a few of these reaction channels and so far i put you at the top. I like your comments but i especially like that after you make a comment, possibly at a time of a important transition or something else good in the song you go back to the part of the song that was playing right before your comment. A lot of people stop the song and then just hit play right where they left off ruining the flow of the song. Anyway, good job homebrew! keep it up.

    The song is based off of an old poem. The Mariner killed an Albatros, and as punishment they were stranded at sea. No wind to drive the sails. All died of thirst except for the Mariner. He was chosen to live as an example. The interlude in the middle is the lifeless boat adrift at sea....
    Love your reviews! Life long Maiden fan here, happy to finally see them getting some mainstream attention. Back in the day, we were the outcasts that listened to them.

I just love that you totally get sucked right in there and love every second. Your reactions are as good as the performance. God it's good to watch these reactions.

You get to experience Maiden doing these songs in their hey day. It'' mess with your head even more. Also, check out the CD version of Live After Death for the additional material....and listen to Phantom of the Opera. If you love time changes and transitions, you won't find better! Trust me!!!

Some of those albums are GnR's "Appetite for destruction", Metallica's "Master of puppets", KISS "Alive", Peter Frampton "Frampton comes alive", Micheal Jackson's "Thriller", AC/DC's "Back in black" and Iron Maiden's "Powerslave".

    As a lifelong metalhead who learned to appreciate and love rap, hip hop and R&B, I love seeing fans of those genres doing the same with my beloved jams. This is so much fun to watch, subbing now!
    Edit: the creaking sound is the groaning of a wooden ship's hull, adrift at sea with no wind. If you removed the vocals, the whole song tells the story of a old-timey voyage at sea through the music.
    The ship sets off, and the first section is the ship cruising happily along. The riff sort of rolls up and down like the gentle swells of the ocean. Then the creepy quiet section comes up where the ship is lost, becalmed and adrift. There are no drums, just a slow, ponderous procession of single notes and the sound of the ship's hull. The next section is the fast instrumental section with all those juicy solos and riffs- The ship is riding the storm out. (I literally get chills up my spine if I imagine a pirate ship in a storm with that soundtrack). The wind starts to pick up as the bass starts strumming and Bruce starts singing again. That "Judas Priest" scream is the storm hitting. The ship survives the storm, the music returns to the "cruising" riff from the first section, and the ship returns to port with the captain a new man.
