Brad & Lex
PO BOX 4393
Clearwater, FL 33758
Lex is the voice of metal we never knew we needed. She must be protected at all costs!
Indeed it's interesting how she gets the emotions that are conveyed through the solos and how melodic the song sounded. Most Iron Maiden songs are melodic. You can hum or whistle almost every single one of their songs. Even their solos.
Period End of Sentece!
And she's cute as a button!!
@@kristercarlson2635 : Brad hit the Jack Pot with that one! A national treasure , to be sure!
give them a TV show
A lot of the things that Lex says should NOT make sense, but somehow, after she explains what she means, they kind of do make sense. Also, I love she way she gets lost in the guitar solos.
Yes, I totally agree! And it's so rare to witness the compatibility of this couple!
Really, in my opinion they are soulmates
Something I've been trying to find in my past relationships and past marriage!
In a nutshell if you allow someone to further elaborate then you will know what they are saying! Communication is key is what I always say!
That's funny because it seems the exact opposite to me. These two are like fire and ice. They rarely agree with each other. She's always trying to express her feelings and he has no idea what she's talking about. Then he'll make some silly comment then you can see a funny expression on her face like she's thinking "what?"
It's almost like he can't figure out the fundamentals of a heavy metal song. It's like he gets jealous of how easily Lex can adapt to any music you put in front of her. He rarely gets In the groove he looks like he's totally lost most of the time. Meanwhile Lex is over there bobbing your head to the rhythm totally feeling the song. Especially during a guitar solo. She's the reason I subscribed to the channel.
Lol
Lex experiences the music spatially and textually in her mind as I do where lyrics are at a low priority. But she’s far better at verbalizing that experience. Poor Brad seems to be stuck in a two dimensional experience.
@@matthewgibbs1366 it's the fact that Brad let's Lex explain what she and he really listens to. He doesn't get mad or talk down to her. That's pretty awesome
@@matthewgibbs1366 my thoughts exactly. With maturity I see it more clearly, this sort of energy is compelling to watch in short bursts, but remember these two have to live with that always. It's hard to be misunderstood on a daily basis
Iron Maiden - Wasted Years is a must.
Run to the hills
One of my faves and not reacted to enough
Fear of the dark and 2 minutes to midnight too
The whole album.
Can I play with madness
Lex is a rocker! She reads the music so well. She is awesome! Rock on girl!
She totally gets it. If it wasn't for this channel she might have never discovered her metal id.
She should have her own channel!!
@@mattharvey968 Her going solo is not a good idea. I mean she's totally great with her emotional & instinctive interpretation of what's going on in a song BUT this is a show and the show needs dynamics. And there's no better way of achieving the dynamics than going the classic way of a skeptic-enthusiast pair. We need both of them for the show to have "teeth". But yeah, she's absolutely amazing :D
Don't take this the wrong way, but the FACT that's she's "BLACK AND ENJOYS ROCK/METAL MUSIC, SPEAKS VOLUMES!" I mean, TO THIS (VERY) DAY, HOW MANY BLACK WOMEN, OR BLACK PEOPLE, IN GENERAL, ARE INTO ROCK/METAL MUSIC?
There's a Keanu Reeves meme that says something like, "What if Iron Maiden is a trick to get kids to learn history". Sabaton is another band that does this.
Sorry Brad, Lex is ours now, she’s joined the dark side.
Welcome to the dark side, we love heavy metal lol
She is a welcomed addition. They both are.
She reminds me of why I started listening to heavy metal in the first place.
Whoohaha
Heavy Metal is not dark side. Bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc, make songs about dark things, but as a warning not as celebration of darkness. There are morons who think that if they say 'Hail Satan' once more then some other bands, it will lead them to glory, and there are those who like that. But best of Metal is not on dark side.
Maiden is just one of those bands that stand apart. Uniquely their own.
Yrs indeed , should retire now. 2000"s albums terrible
Lol
I hate yhat i agree with that
Love to see Brad & Lex’s take on Maidens Rime of the Ancient Mariner, that’s gonna be an interesting reaction lol
Now, thats a story!!!!
Absolutely love that song would love to see a reaction
I'd say that's a must for Brad and Lex.
Yes but the flight 666 live version
"Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" is a must!
Rime
It definitely is.
I don't know if they're ready for that
@@williamcoyle7500,
...but their kids are gonna love it.
LIVE - flight 666 tour video !!
Most people today attention span wont allow them to appreciate the song
Iron Maiden teach history through their music. This song is about The Charge Of The Light Brigade during the Crimean war and references Tennyson's poem.
"Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them<
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred."
I was hoping somebody posted the history behind this epic tune...Rock On
I too was hoping someone besides myself new the history. Well done
@@gsdfan8455 I learned a lot as a teen about greek mythology, the early history of man, egyptology, religion, poetry, imperialism, ww2 and so many other topics thanks to Maiden. At the time they were being demonized (ironically) by the media for perverting young minds to devil worship lol.
@@steveparker8065 I never understood that either. Most of their songs are about history or mythology
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_of_the_Light_Brigade
Brad is so literal. Open your mind a little dude. Love the way lex enjoys music.
This is why he likes rap . Just saying lol
Facts!
Lex
I think it's clear this kind of music isn't for him at this point. That's totally ok though, nothing wrong with not liking a style of music guys.
"2 Minutes Till Midnight" Does it for me. Rock On!
I second that.
Yeahhhh
Yep ... Wish i could give that comment more than 1 thumbs up.
Yep. For me is Aces High
.boring/
Lex saying each note is like an emotion just makes me smile. 🙂 I've been playing guitar for a long time and it's so cool when someone can "feel" the music. You should really check out Iron Maiden's "Stranger In A Strange Land". The guitar solo has a lot of emotion.
🎸🔥❤
One of the best songs on that album for sure. It is what I define as an 'epic' song. Like it should be backed by a full orchestra.
im a musician too, i made a comment about that too and i recommended the same song because the solo XD she needs to check that for sure
She definitely enjoys music FAR more than he does.
that much is clear.
Music, maybe but not content.
Agreed but I think Beads take is needed. It is as a pair that makes these two great.
How do you think their conversations would work if they was clones?
No man, it's just different ways to experience music. He's trying to understand it at first time hearing while she is more relaxed about the lyrics and sometimes that works better at first. It's just 2 different ways of first approach ✌️
That's the famous Iron Maiden galloping bass.
Steve Harris (founder and backbone of I.M.) is transcendent on the bass guitar, and thoughtful songwriter !
Up The Irons 🤘
Lex is every guitar players dream listener .. the way she reacts to electric rock guitar playing is what guitarists strive for.
Not to be mushy and cheesy. But when Bard looks over at Lex when she is in her own world jamming out is the most sincere look of genuine love. Its really a beautiful thing to see.
Don`t be mushy and cheesy :D
Yeah, noticed that too. Beautiful to see
Gotta listen to anything on Powerslave, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Awesome albums!
And don't forget Number of the Beast.
Stranger In A Strange Land is one I think they'd both enjoy. Much more groove oriented than wild guitar solos and vocals.
Piece of mind????
Lex you get it!!. You feel the energy, the emotion, the talent. ..Yes the electric guitar is an emotional instrument. It can cry anger, regret, energy, passion, depression. You felt the vibe..your dude however acted like he wanted to be somewhere else.
In my opinion, UNFORTUNATELY, the way BRAD "reacts" to the music, is the SAME WAY other rock/metal fans, react. I mean, NO EXPRESSION/REACTION? WTF? Is rock/metal music "JUST NOT HIS 'CUP OF TEA'-OR WHAT? I mean, what IS the POINT of playing rock/metal music, OR music, general, OR having your own music channel-and "NOT GET INTO THE MUSIC YOU'RE PLAYING?" THINK ABOUT IT.
I love how lex describes the solo!
Love how Lex feels the music, she closes her eyes and is in to it. Brad just stares at a black screen waiting for lyrics, and even then he barely understands the story being told lol. Dude, loosen up and feel the music.
Well said. I dont understand it.
I never knew all the lyrics til just now - and I've been listening for 40 years 😄😄
everyone interprets music differently, theres no right or wrong way
It's okay, Brad can be the intellectual/objective analytical part of the reaction and Lex is the emotive analytical part. :-)
@@BlackieNuff Bead make me fukin wheeeze XD
@@pencilquest9409
Gawdammmit... I didn't catch that typo... :-P
I fixt it now.
The song is based on the Crimean war of the 1800's when Britain took on Russia... Ironically, Crimea is literally a war zone today between Ukraine & Russia.
Steve Harris (bass) has a 'galloping' bass style that u can hear in this song and "Hallowed be thy name"... which defined Iron Maiden's early classic sound.
More specifically it is based on the famous "Charge of the Light Brigade" during the Crimean War.
@@simontomlinson6484 On the "Charge of the Light Brigade" on the "Battle of Balaclava" during the Crimean War, to be even more specific ;)
"Aces High" is a good one from them. Gotta do the video with the Churchill speech at the beginning
Lex’s reactions and comments are so intuitive. I can appreciate how she feels about the music. A deep soul.
The storytelling of Iron Maiden is great… “The Clansman” 💪🏼
Yes The Clansman... and now the second part that was released yesterday is even better... Death Of The Celts.
Yes, but the live version with Bruce
@@DennisTrovato true… better
Alexander the Great, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Longest Day, To Tame a Land, Where Eagles Dare to name a few story telling songs.
Brad is so serious....music is a art, you gotta feel it son!
He said I believe nothing I hear and half of what I see. Lol
Music you love is not something you listen to, it's something you experience. Lex seems to get it.
Hey, he's trying. It's easy for most of us who grew up with hard rock and metal. It seems that he wants to analyze and understand as all these songs that we know so well are new to him. I think it's cool that he makes an effort to check this stuff out. Some songs will stick with him, others not so much.
Lex: I can see the music
Brad: We have bills to pay 😂
Maiden are so orchestral in there composition, and with Bruce's almost operatic vocals, it gives them almost a modern heavy classical feel - Awesome and unique
Iron Maiden’s “Run to the Hills” was a great artistically created story about our Native American brothers and sisters and their plight of being colonized.
Wrong
Please clarify. Inquiring minds want to know how wrong they are when they read “ the white man cam across the sea, he brought us pain and misery”.
How is that not oppressive when asked to “run to the hills, run for your lives”?
Clarify please. I’m all ears 👂…
@@AClark-jx9zp I'm not a believer in the whole "oppressed colonized native victims" mantra, but berto0069's assessment is correct.
Really enjoy Brads detail on the lyrics, then you get the pure innocents of LEX. By the way Brad, you better appreciate waking up to Lex and knowing how lucky you are to have a sweet soul next to you. You guys rock! Thanks for doing what you do
Brad, if you don't take your hot heavy metal wife to a fancy restaurant, some psychotic heavy metal fan like myself will.
With many Iron Maiden songs, you get an accurate history lesson. The Trooper tells the account of a British soldier during the Crimean War. Lord Cardigan led the British cavalry against Russian forces during the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854. Lord Raglan had intended to send the Light Brigade to prevent the Russians from removing captured guns from overrun Turkish positions. However, there was miscommunication in the chain of command and the Light Brigade was instead sent on a suicide mission charging straight at heavy Russian artillery which cost the lives of 600 British soldiers. This inspired Alfred Lord Tennyson to write a poem called The Charge of the Light Brigade. Great reaction as always 👍
Edit:
Other great Iron Maiden history lessons you could check out.... Run to the Hills, Alexander the Great, Paschendale and Empire of the Clouds. Any Maiden, you can't miss. Up the Irons!!!
The beauty of Maiden. Vast novels condensed into musical masterpieces.
That’s a fantastic job Lex. I absolutely love watching you get lost in a song and enjoying the music and the sound and hearing the story from the instruments as well fantastic job
Not sure what exactly prevents you from getting in the headspace to really experience music like this, Brad, but I hope that changes, and Lex is right. Each note is an emotion. It's meant to be that way, the music is meant to be a part the story. That's why you get breaks in the singing to allow space for the music to support the story. That's the genius of real actual honest to God music is it's able to do that. It's not like that anymore for the most part.
Pop music destroyed that aspect by replacing storytelling/emotion with generic beats and melodies to make you dance. It loses pretty much all meaning beyond that. To each his or her own, I guess.
I agree 100%. I think Brad gets to caught up in trying to figure out the meaning of songs, whereas Lex just enjoys the music
I just said in another comment. To me it seems like Brad just can't figure out the fundamentals of the heavy metal song. He rarely finds the groove he looks like he's completely lost most of the reactions. Meanwhile Lex is sitting over there moving to the groove and feeling the Rhythm. She doesn't miss a beat especially during a guitar solo. Then she'll try to say something that totally makes sense and he always has some lame comment or tries to disagree. He was tripping when she said she was visualizing the song in her head. What the hell is he talking about. 😂😂😂 dude needs to open up that third eye or something. Lol anyways I'm only subscribe to this channel because of Lex. 🤘😂
THIS...Right here !!!
@@mattwolfe6192 Brad’s a Hip hop guy. They’re all about ‘the beat’ and don’t really pay attention to things like the melody or even the storytelling aspects of the song. Thematic elements aren’t really a thing in rap or hip hop. It’s just about laying down a generic, catchy rhythm.
Hands down my favorite Maiden tune. All their songs are hard driven guitars and most tell some kind of story of history.
This is based on the poem Charge of the Light Brigade, which is based on a battle from the Crimean War. It was men on horses charging men with guns and was significant mostly because it signified the end of an old way of fighting wars and the start of the modern way.
This is classic Maiden. The gallop of the bass line and the twin axe attack..... and of course the history lesson. Welcome to Iron Maiden. Now listen to Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Aces High or Run to the Hills. Please continue the journey.
Dang, Brad. That was a cruel, the way you reacted to Lex's question, at 2:44. Don't kill her joy.
At 9:43, what y'all started saying reminded me of what Bruce Dickinson said right before starting "Afraid To Shoot Strangers", at the end of the previous track, on the Live At Donington album. It's a song about war, particularly, the Gulf War.
If you get the chance, Maiden is one of the select few rock bands still active that absolutely MUST be experienced live. They definitely put on an amazing and well-rehearsed show, but, it’s not at all stale, unlike, say, the ‘Stones.
But, as with The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden could easily do a worldwide stadium tour if they wanted, and every ticket would be snapped up immediately.
Lex gets it, true Metal head. Love the reaction.
The best story tellers!!! UP THE IRONS🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💜💜💜💜
Dammit Brad, you can be so coarse sometimes. I'm finding i'm here more for Lex's experience than anything else.
I know right, got to respect the fact that he sits there with her even though he doesn’t like the music, personally if it was hip hop or rap, I wouldn’t be able to sit and listen to it.
She just gets it!
Brad might like newer Maiden because he doesn't like rapid changes and they tend to run song segments into the ground with repetition lol.
It's ok. People are different. Brad's 'literal guy'. Lex is 'feels' girl.
Lex is feeling the music and speaking in similes and metaphors. A good place to be for metal!
Part of the fun of Maiden is that they do music to perform in a live concert, gets even more theatrical and put you into the story when you watch what they do in live.
run to the hills is another great song to check out
Lex is right on the spot, she`s really felt the music recently.
Holy Shit, Lex's ability to translate complex thoughts and emotions into words that we can all relate to is second to none.
You two as a couple have the most awesome dynamic....
Man it's hard to imagine not feeling a good solo.
I totally get where Lex is coming from with each note evoking emotion, I get lost in the music like that myself closing my eyes and just going with it to another plane where it guides my vision which may not necessarily be in line with the lyrical story.
Literally nothing more entertaining than Brad sitting there getting nothing, and Alex getting totally enraptured in the sound and flow.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
"Every guitar note melts you like an emotion".wow!....every guitarist on the planet would love a review or comment like that just once in their life! 😲
Would love to see Lex jam out to a Randy Rhoads solo (my personal favorite). Any song from Ozzy Osbourne's live "Tribute" album will do, but the "Mr. Crowley" solo is what many recommend. Randy was a friendly rival to Eddie Van Halen in the 80s. He was so monumental in the metal world and his death such a surprise that temporary replacement Brad Gillis of Night Ranger (also incredibly talented) would occasionally get booed by fans expecting Randy-esque solos.
One of those sad-to-see moments, because people just wanted someone to blame despite Brad playing some great shows and limited time to really sync with the band and the music he had to learn given the situation.
This songs makes me want to gallop into battle but I hate to picture myself dying! So I dream about pulling off the impossible! Lol!
"Stranger in a Strange Land" from Iron Maiden has my favorite guitar solo from Adrian Smith. We can probably call it a solo that leads into another solo.
Based on the poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
And we think modern soldiers make sacrifices. Imagine being an old-school calvaryman, just "plunging" into action on horseback with muskets.
Iron Maiden has two guitarist that play off each other's solos. I think Lex would love Aces High and Brad would like the story
Iron Maiden has three guitarists
@@mordekaieugenis1202 now they do, this was before No prayer for the dying
@@Malo-Hombre71 I thought you are talking about Maiden in general. My bad. I agree about Aces High but then again, most Maiden songs are made around a good story. Up the Irons.
@@mordekaieugenis1202 I remember janick gears (I think that's the name) stayed on after Murray or Smith came back. I haven't really heard anything after Fear of the Dark to be honest
@@Malo-Hombre71 Yes, when Adrian returned they kept Janick in. It was cool thing to do. He does piss me off sometimes with his circus acts on stage but hi is good player. I've heard some songs here and there from "later" albums, but not a full album since Seventh Son. They're still one of my favorite bands of all time.
Feeling every note is normal to me, I feel you lex
Lex, I love that you get this music! Love seeing you feeling it and the way you describe your emotions!
You gotta see this Live! Incredible!!
People listen to hard rock and metal because it sounds good to them, if they like the sound they might delve into the meaning of the lyrics. It's not spoken word poetry. And the music is the music, the instrument playing is the point. It's not something you wait to be over so you can dissect the lyrics, Brad. Lex is a natural rocker. You guys should react to instrumental music of all types so Brad is forced to learn that music is the playing of musical instruments.
So if Brad wasnt in the war he cant enjoy a masterpiece of a song ? 🤔
I just found you guys, and I was like, I wonder if they’ve done Trooper. You do not disappoint. Highly enjoyable hearing these songs again for the first time through you. Thank You!
one of the greatest riffs ever written
UP THE LEX!
Gotta love how Iron Maiden is like a musical History lesson. If History was told in this fashion in school I know kids would actually learn it. History is honestly the most important subject to study, learn and analyze. If you can't get it into your understanding and decision making then you will be bound to repeat history.
"Doing the same thing repeatedly expecting a different result is the definition of Insanity."
Both of you are fantastic and I stopped watching reaction videos for a long time until I found you two. You compliment each other so well and I wish you both a long and love-filled life!
No offense Brad, but I think you realize that Lex is the superstar here... she truly feels the flow. I appreciate your analytical side too, of course. That's where you guys are so great together!
Love the passion you listen to this great music with Lex!!! Cheers!!
Brad bruh just let the music hit the soul and vibe with it like lex it definitely changes the way you get into the song. I usually first listen just sit and feel the song out then worry bout lyrics and what the story is later
Im not saying lyrics are not important but people sometimes care too much about them and what they mean and its like they dont even hear the music. its unfortunate.
@@IASP17 Exactly it's like each of them have their respective role to play you can't just focus on lyrics or just the guitar or any other instrument for that matter it's fine to through listening to it but it's best when you experience the whole picture instead of focusing on one particular thing
The guy needs to lighten up. So tense. The girl is more laid back & natural.
So glad I found this channel! Lex, I'm glad you found metal. It's more about the feel than the lyrics. I dont think Brad will ever "get it" in the same way. There is so much emotion in the music. Keep rocking!
She was grooving ,in the zone u lose ur self in the sound. She just gets it ,fun to watch , she a true believer at heart , metal !!!
You guys should react to "run to the hills" by iron maiden
Run for your liiives
I think that to really appreciate music, you need to engage both your brain and your heart. Without wishing to sound disrespectul, Brad is the intellectual reactor and Lex is the emotional reactor, so between you, you've got both covered.
Yes, THIS!!
Lex has a definitive connection with music.. as a musician I can see this and it's beautiful to watch. Keep up the great work!
I would say that iron maiden inspired/invented power metal
This band is underrated on this channel, they are the real METAL LEGENDS, Metallica Megadeth and most of the bands inspired by them.
I realy would like to know if there´s anything Brad had an emotional connection to. Or if there is anything that triggers his imagination.
Sometimes he seems so overrational to me.. its strange. But maybe Lex is his connection to that and thats all he need. mmh....
I really don't think he has much imagination, not an insult just seems to be the way he is
@@christianbriggs7991 I don't mean this as an insult either.
I wonder if he is on the Autism Spectrum. He often says he doesn't know what he should be focused on. The drums , guitar or the singer? During the Mamas and the Papas he said hearing them singing in harmony, was "like nails on a chalkboard."
He always seems annoyed by guitar solos too.
For someone who likes Hip Hop and Rap he rarely mentions the Bass lines in the songs. He occasionally mentions the drums but if it's an iconic drum fill or groove, it seems lost on him.
He seems like a VERY intelligent and good dude. Someone you would want as a neighbor to sit and drink a beer and BS with.
I hope this isn't taken as mean spirited. Peace!
You two rock. Especially Lex. Love watching people discover how awesome Iron Maiden is.
I love the different ways you both interpret the songs differently. Keep expressing how they make both of you feel. There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to how music makes the individual feel.
Thank you haha love the name @Music!!
Lex.. seems as if you "feel" the music... I Myself interpret music as "Colors" ... my Rainbow is complete. A Rainbow MUST have all the colors before its complete.
I thought you were going with my Rainbow is overdue 😁
You want "sultry" then listen to the female singer SADE - can't go wrong.
Yo!
I love the way Lex really gets into the music, this band were the band that got me into metal. They are really incredible live.
She totally gets it! I believe she is a metal head!!
If lex is so into guitarplaying....then its time for Buckedhead, Soothsayer.
You both show such different views, your reactions are so refreshing. I'll be back as long as you continue!!!!!!!!!!
ive been a maiden fan forever. They run through my veins. I listen to them every day and i can talk about them all day but you just gave the best analogy ive ever heard of how each note is an 'emotion'. That's what Iron Maiden music does to you. you feel it to your very core. i dont know how they do it. its perfect. I wish my wife got as excited as Lex by maiden music lol
You said it. Each note is an emotion.
Wow...a rose...great symbolism...your great Lex
All Maiden songs tell a story, most of th time as @Steve Parker said, talking about a part of history. That's a part of their signature !
Getting 3 guitarist's and Steve Harriers trousers in sync before Bruce sings a word takes awhile to gather momentum...
🤘😝
You guys gotta do the Offical Video for this one!! This was my first exposure to them as a 13 year old on watching them on MTV. Unforgettable experience that I'll never forget. One of the BEST!!
“You got all that just from the sound?” That, right there, is the raison d'être of metal music. The musicianship, the flow of the notes, the grind of the rhythm … the sound … all convey moods and emotions. Granted, metal music isn’t for everyone, and it shouldn’t be, but it *is* about the musicians presenting emotion through sound. Heck, much of the time I’m only vaguely aware of the specifics of the lyrics; the vocals are instead another emotive instrument for me.
Incredible review ! Lex you are mailing em! I’ve watched many of y’all’s videos and have appreciated comments from both but this was just epic! “Rose”
Piece of Mind is my favorite Maiden album. Love every song on it. Especially Still Life and Revelations. Up the Irons!
Extremely good song amazing guitar players awesome the Lirycs nobody care no hip hop can play guitar like this
You mention it reminds you of roses. But the imagery that came to mind for me when you were saying that was the beauty of the little girl who is buried in an Italian crypt that has a glass cover on her coffin and she's so well preserved. I get your imagery. Great review and visualization!
One of the best bands to see live!!! And there still going strong in there 60's even released a new album this week.
You guys are awesome and she has an amazing ear for music.
Beautiful!
