Maiden combines history and literature with metal.
And that is one of the reasons they are so awesome! Some of the best lyrics in the genre!
That isn't history. That is a personal observation based on the ignorant belief that the whiteman was the aggressor in all interactions with indians. This is a Hollywood song. Because nowhere do I hear anything about taking women and children as slaves, which the indians did. Nor do I hear about how they slaughtered each other over land and resources.
Sure, white guilt revisionist history.
Metalheads should have been good at history just based on Iron Maiden
Right? How many of y'all had to listen to Iron Maiden's ancient mariner song studying literature? Good times
So good! Iron Maiden is one of my favorite heavy metal bands, and Bruce Dickinson has one of the best voices. You have to do “Hallowed Be Thy Name”.
The original mid-eighties video, or the live Rock In Rio version.
_#cheers__ !_
I really like "Infinite Dreams", the all spiritual message of the afterlife and reincarnation is something i hold dear.
"There's got to be
Just more to it than this
Or tell me, why do we exist?
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance, another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again and again"
They have to watch a live version I like the 80’s video better.
@@scottdashThe Beast Over Hammersmith Performance 1982. Definitely the best live version of "Hallowed Be Thy Name."
This is my favorite Iron Maiden song. I've always loved how the bass line mimics a galloping horse.
Steve Harris is a brilliant bassist, one of the best. I too love the "galloping horse" sound, a magnificent chunky rolling motion sound that is heard in many of Iron Maiden's songs. Good stuff! 😁👍
Like the evil brother of Seger's "Hollywood Nights"
Same
Unfortunately, Iron Maiden overuses the gallop.
Covering this song on the drums and Getting through to the end is a hell of a workout. Takes some damn stamina
So many of Iron Maidens songs are essentially history lessons. Flight of Icarus, Aces High, Powerslave, Alexander the Great, 2 Minutes to Midnight, The Trooper, just to name a few. Everything from Mythology to Ancient Egypt, Persian conquest and more modern European conflicts. Great band for Music and Content
May i added?
- Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
- Mother Russia
Never even thought that way but damn!! You nailed it.
They should do an updated version of 2 Minutes To Midnight called 90 Seconds To Midnight, before the time runs out.
@@danikaina7734 and don't forget Dune! "To Tame A Land" off of Piece of Mind, oh, and Quest for Fire about the book of the same name.
Paschendale!
"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" based on a poem written by Samuel Coleridge is possibly their greatest masterpiece. 13 minutes of amazing song writing
although i will not argue - empire of the clouds has become my favourite, the history of it the brilliant touches like the SOS signal within the song.
My personal favorite...🤘
My favorite Iron Maiden song to. All the amazing changes in it and incredible story telling and if you guys, please, react to it, make sure you do the version with Bruce.
My favorite!
Have you checked out Wintersun? Those guys have epic song writing and musical skills and they have a 15 minute long epic called "Suns of Winter and Stars", check it out! Bad ass melodeath.
I am a 60 year old Canadian rocker. So happy to see you two getting into what I have been listening to my whole life. Welcome to the dark side. Enjoy the talent of rock.
the protest songs are away back . but maiden makes a back atack. strong and stil in this world .sadly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iron Maiden did a better job teaching the youth of the 80s history than most high school text books. It’s a big element of their music.
Maiden is so loud in concert, I can still hear the concert I went to back in the early 80's......so damn good!!!!
Oh yeah, I went to the seventh Son of the seventh Son concert. Loud is an understatement
I was 7th row center for Maiden/Megadeth. I couldn’t hear for a week.
was about to say the same thing. lol
I saw them in the late 80s in Buffalo NY and I could not hear for days after. Great band!
Me too! That tour and their last tour before Covid. They still sound great!
The Drummer is Clive Burr who left the band after this album was very poorly with MS and the band really looked after him by playing benefits for him. Sadly he passed away in 2013 but his music lives on.
This song just cements him in my Top 10 of drummers. Highly underrated and I'm a Niko fan
You guys should look up "Dee Snider's Desperado."
Clive Burr was in a band with Dee Snider and they had rented a closed down hotel to practice in. So there are videos of them having band practice. It s some cool footage.
Iron Maiden are one of the greatest metal bands of all time and their songs normally tell a story about history of some kind. Hellowed Be Thy Name and Rime of The Ancient Mariner are a must. Both super epic songs.
How amazingly far has Amber come in appreciating Heavy Metal? Never thought I would see the day where Amber liked a heavy metal song before Jay did! Some of the best lyrics in Heavy Metal are from Iron Maiden. Far more original themes than most metal. And I say this as a fan of the genre. Now that Judas Priest took a rightful spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame- Maiden needs to as well!
Yes! That was awesome. Definitely LOLed at Jay's "okay". Great stuff!
Amber is definitely all in for this and I love it
Bruce took a hard pass on the RnRHoF. He didn't want the band be inducted because they aren't dead yet.
I used to love to play this on the jukebox at my Grandma’s bar and watch who left and who stayed. I love this song❤
It's fun finding out who digs it!!🤟🤟👍
Bruce’s voice is just something to be in awe of! That man can hold a note! Rime of the ancient mariner please!!!!!!!
This was 1982 the boys were young fresh pigeons back those days
@@elimarsilvanikock7818 HMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Young Bruce! 😍🥰😘
As a first Nation (Ojibwe). This is my favorite Iron Maiden song because it rocks and it is educational
Every Maiden song is a history lesson
Not every one
There's a story in them all, to be sure. I mean, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Number of the Beast, or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son? None are exactly real world history. Awesome storytelling across the board, though.
Steve Harris is the greatest under rated bass player in the Rock/ metal genre
Google "best metal bassist" and see where he pops up on every list. I think he is appreciated.
I think he gets his props.
He’s definitely not underrated. He Tops every bass list I’ve seen since the 80’s. The only bassist I put with him or slightly above is Entwhistle.
I play bass in a garage band, Steve is hard to cover! One song and my wrist is swelling up! How he does it all night, every night, is amazing.
Oh believe me he's not underrated a bass God. That galloping technique of his is legendary.
Definitely my favorite Iron Maiden song. This song ROCKS!!
I had a history teacher in highschool that would use Iron Madien lyrics in teaching, because their lyrics 95% of the time had an element of history in them. That was my favorite teacher. The great thing about him was, occasionally my friends and I would go to concerts, and sometimes we would see that teacher at a concert, he was cool, but he was a strict teacher when it came to being in class.
because he cared about your education and high standards
@@Augfordpdoggie Yeah he definitely enjoyed teaching, but he made it fun and relatable. He was one of the few teachers I had during highschool that you could tell teaching was more than just a job to him. He was all business in class, but he was one teacher that most of us actually respected.
The vocal part where he started low and ended in a scream.. The octaves he went up is insane..one of my favorite songs,,, great reacvtion!!!!!!
Always... ALWAYS...listen to the bass in Iron Maiden songs. Steve Harris' right hand is incredible.
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album is an Absolute Masterpiece...!
men to that
So much of Maidens songs are based in history. Made my history teacher mad when I quoted maiden songs in high school that were relevant. 55 year old lifetime Iron Maiden fanatic here
Cool thing about Maiden is that they own their own commercial jet and the singer Bruce Dickinson is a licensed pilot and flies them to their gigs. And man can he sing! A lot of talent in this band.
He is also an Olympic standard fencer! He was appointed as an Honorary Group Captain in the RAF, and performed in Sarajevo during the Serbian attacks on Bosnia- Herzegovina, being made a citizen as thanks. Amazingly talented individual!
Just to clear the misconception the planes they were flying were leased and not owned by the band and Bruce is retired from piloting due to FAA regulations,as for 757 they used on Flight 666 not to sure what happened to that one,but 747 used on the Book of Souls tour,and if i do say so,was the fricken coolest looking 747 ever to fly the skies,i'm sad to say has been offically retired.And what is more saddening , is that Boeing has ceased production of the 747 earlier this year.I was in tears when i watch the video of delivery of the last 747 to roll off the production line.As sixties scoop baby up here in Canada i was very blessed and fortunate that my adoptive parents took me to the Netherlands back in 77 when i was young child of ten years old,it was 747 for our flight.Best dang childhood memory! In closing ALL HAIL TO THE QUEEN !!
YES! You should really check out "Wasted Years" off the ""Somewhere in Time" album 1987. A fave of mine!
Somewhere in Time was one of my first concerts, It was awesome!
That's a great, underrated album. Love Wasted Years.
One of the best songs ever written. Period.
Maiden is one of the most popular metal Bands ever. They did it all without radio play. Steve Harris is one of the best basis ever to pick up the instruments and And almost all of maiden's songs tell a story. One of my favorites is A song called wasted years. Maiden is where a lot of bands such as your favorite Metallica got their inspiration from. Love you guys to keep it up!
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album is an Absolute Masterpiece...!
@@2869may The first album of theirs I got! Back catalogue within the month lol
Great suggestion on Wasted Years! One of my faves for sure.
You'll never hear a band with more coordination and sheer expertise. Seeing them live as my first ever concert was... amazing.
Back in 1982 this record was bombastic, maiden went stratosphere from being a 🇬🇧 metal band to a global phenomenon, a true classic for life!!!!!!!!!
Not a big Maiden fan.. But the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album is an Absolute Masterpiece...!
Couldnt get into it. "Can I play with madness" is "ok".....but the rest is pretty much forgettable ..to me anyway. I recall when it came out..I was around 17 or 18 and I was like "eh..im not feeling it". I think Somewhere in Time spoiled me haha.
Best maiden album easy
@@markherring3513 You should give it another go... Lyrics, vocals, time changes and transitions... It really is incredible..!
I'm sure you're aware some songs take a few listens to appreciate, while others you instantly like... I played it so much that even My mother liked "Can I Play With Madness" (Great song!)
"Infinite Dreams" is probably my favorite.
But the album is worth another listen brother...!
Can I Play With Madness?
One of their most epic tunes ever. I could sit here all night and mention songs. That one is my favorite from that album though.
Man. Go back in listen. After Somewhere in Time I pretty much felt it was over. But all the songs leading up to 7th are great! Number of the Beast is the best
Early Maiden was awesome, and Clive Burr such a fantastic drummer. May he rest in peace😢
He was fantastic. God bless him .❤️
Bruce has some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. His range is incredible. I’ve seen Iron Maiden three times and never been disappointed.
“Wasted Years”!! You will looooooove that Iron Maiden song!!
This was Maiden's first U.S. hit. It introduced us to the "galluping" bass of Steve Harris, mimicking the gallup of the horses. Singer Bruce Dickinson was also called the Air-Raid Siren for his scream at the end of this.
Their best song, IMO, is "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from the Rock in Rio concert. Absolutely amazing.
I love that you went back to Maiden, and Amber's reaction is awesome. Check out the live version of Fear of the Dark. They're a must-see live. You need to hear the crowd singing Maiden's guitar melodies.
Live: Rock in Rio
As a true native from Oklahoma descendent from Kiowas, I've loved the song growing up. As a kid i just loved sounds and music but getting older I've payed more attention to music & this jam by iron maiden was just truth because myself, am half native & Hispanic but more with the native side considering growing up here. I have love for everyone just like they'd want from everyone else but dont ever forget we got MISSING MURDERED INDIGENOUS & it don't stop. But were still here regardless how much they want us gone & forgetten. Despite those who live in the streets and are addicts.. we'll strive & then theres those that got it together. Peace & love to all those that understand without hate words just dont forget about us!
Preach
One of my favorite singers in metal!!
Iron Maiden at long Beach Arena in the 80's was awesome to live thru. POWER SLAVE
Scream for me Long Beach!!!
Iron Maiden is the best metal band ever. Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner are two of their best. UP THE IRONS!!!🤘🤘🤘
This was Bruce Dickinsons first release as lead singer with Iron Maiden and that was in early 1982! He replaced Paul Di'Anno as lead singer then. Hope that helps and also the group have been active since 1975 and are still around today though in the early days the group members were very fluid!
Definitely a top 3 Iron Maiden song, right after "Number Of The Beast" and "The Trooper"... with "2 Minutes To Midnight" and "Aces High" coming in right behind and I mean NO DAYLIGHT between #2-4 ! And their epic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is unbelievably good for a 13 minute song ! The imagery in that and many of Iron Maiden's songs is fire ! Not just lyrically but musically. In fact Steve Harris said of this song "I wanted to try and get the feeling of galloping horses." That applies equally well to "The Trooper" too.
This is my favorite Iron Maiden song. I highly recommend the late Vincent Price intro Iron Maiden hit song "Number of The Beast."
Nice timing on this one. This morning Iron Maiden was announced as one of the 14 finalists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I would like to think that many who watch music reaction videos appreciate one thing more than any other...you can never hear a song again for the first time and in a weird way, we can re-live that moment we heard a song or band the first time by experiencing it vicariously through your reactions. Music, more than any other medium, has the incredible power to bring diverse backgrounds together.
Amber is so right, metal is normally very deep subjects, sometimes which makes normal society uncomfortable. Early one's were like Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, and Iron Maiden
TOOL took up that mantle.
Have you ever heard of a song called "D.O.A.", by a band named Bloodrock?
Maiden has over 200 songs in their catalog and about 95% of them are jams. My favorite song from them is from an album that came out in 2021. The song is called "Hell On Earth". The band has been around since 1975. I'm going to see them in concert this year. The Greatest Band To Ever Have Walked On The Face Of The Earth. Period.
🤘Up The Irons!🤘
Iron Maiden is an exceptional hevy metal band with great musicams!! I asisted eight concert, all amazing!!
That’s why it’s HEAVY Metal 😎✌🏽💪🏽
Oh yes!!! One of my favorite tracks by these guys.
You NEED to see them do Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner live video. It is their masterpiece!
Iron Maiden is my favorite band. I love their way of rocking out and teaching history..
IRON MAIDEN! Grew up loving this band and still rock out to them at age 53
Likewise ,me I'm going to 57 Up the Irons!!
Wondering why we haven’t seen a reaction to this, love this song, excellent vocals, guitar, bass, and drums! Everything was Amazing, seen Iron Maiden in concert back in the 80’s in their Prime! It was Killer! Thanks for reacting!
Maiden is incredible!! From Chile
Classic track. Classic sound. Classic Maiden.
My favorite song from the greatest metal band ever
Dickerson is such a talent. His voice is intense and he also flies their plane 767 when on tour.
Dickinson
I agree - absolutely love Bruce Dickinson’s voice. He is a commercial pilot and flew their Iron Maiden jumbo jet - which was named Ed Force One (named after their mascot Eddie).
Fun fact - IM lead singer Bruce Dickinson has two sons, Austin and Griffin, who are also musicians. I would love for you to react to a 90s alternative band called Catherine Wheel, which was lead by Rob Dickinson, who is his paternal cousin. They had some great songs, including "Judy Staring At the Sun" (featuring Tanya Donnelly of The Breeders), "Crank", "Black Metallic", "I Want to Touch You", and "Waydown".
Rob Dickinson is a paternal cousin from Bruce, not his son. I only know 'Delicious' from them ( Catherine Wheel), great song. Suggestion for Jay and Amber next time?
@@sjoekiloeki Paternal cousin. Dang, I've had it wrong all these years! Thanks for the correction.
Another fun fact, Steve Harris also has kids who are also musicians. Oldest daughter Lauren is a vocalist, had a solo project from 2005-2010, then formed the band Six Hour Sundown which was active from 2010-2012. And his oldest son is a guitarist and one of the founders of the band The Raven Age.
Iron Maiden was my all time heavy metal band... saw them 3 times....love these guys....and EDDY so cool
And the boys still out killin' it 40+ years later... seen Maiden many times live... such a big, deep catalogue...
I'm so happy you checked this song out - and I love how Amber put on the "stank" face during Bruce Dickinson's vocal break towards the end! I laughed and snorted loudly - scaring my cats!
OMG Where do we start with Iron Maiden? 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 gotta do Wasted Years...🎸
One of the greatest bands with one of the greatest singers.
3:10. Jay & Amber - Most interesting to note: The science shows mixed/multi-race Americans with trace indigenous ancestry are also descendants of Anglo Saxon colonizers themselves, as it is that confrontation which is the linkage in the genetic history. Sometimes even as little as 30% British Isles DNA.
As someone who has studied my Sicilian roots thoroughly, a trip down the deep rabbit hole of anthropology and genealogy, gives us the truest perspective. And society would be better for it. ✌🏼
Great reaction 👍🏼
Clive Burr was ridiculously underrated.He blows the lid off this entire album.
Been waiting for you to do this one. I was not an Iron Maiden fan back in the day. This song changed my mind 15 years ago. Better late than never. The voice and drums. Awesome!!
This band was my favorite along with priest during my high-school years. This music ages like a fine wine.
They are the GOATS of heavy metal. Fear of the dark, The flight of the icurus, hallowed be thy name. The list is endless
Amber rockin out got me air drumming along with her lol. Hallowed be thy name is my favourite Maiden song, Bruce's voice is absolutely operatic on that track. Raw power and sustain. Also check out Fear of the dark for crowd participation so awesome.
This one pairs up nicely with Indians by Anthrax, a band you've not likely done, but one of the Big 4 metal bands. They're from NYC, and were doing their own thing while Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer were in California. They were a cool, fun band. Their singer Joey Belladonna was Native American.
They need to react to I'm The Man by Anthrax. I love that song!
I saw Maiden with Anthrax in 1990 and 2013. Both amazing shows!
Yes!!! Up the Irons! Love Iron Maiden!!!
ROB SQUAD!!!!
JORDAN AT ABOUT THE FIVE-MINUTE MARK YOU MADE A COMMENT ABOUT "KILLING THAT BASS"!
STEVE HARRIS ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT EVERY SINGLE SONG ON BASS, AND HE'S THE WRITER FOR MOST OF THEIR SONGS!!! DEFINITELY A GOOD BASS PLAYER TO STUDY!!!
I SAW SOMEONE ELSE COMMENT THAT YOU GUYS SHOULD REACT TO "HALLOWED BE THY NAME" AND I WILL SECOND THAT EMOTION!!! ONE OF THE BEST LIVE SONGS THAT THEY DO!!!
Tanisi nitisani ekosani nisim, as a Cree this song hits home with me. The lyrics hold a lot of meaning. I can remember, in grade school, not being allowed to speak our language or talk about our beliefs. Iron Maiden brings so many subjects to life, especially history
You wouldn't be a toban by chance would ya i'm a neechie over here in Kenora! Up the Irons!!
@@kenbongaards554 I'm not aware of any family from Manitoba, I was born in Montana, Rocky Boy res.
Thank you for reacting to my absolute favourite band of all time, guys!!
They have so much great songs, a catalog full of metal classics. The best thing is that they are still together making music and filling up stadiums around the world.
For a more recent take on their stuff, I recommend “The Writing On The Wall” released on 2021.
Not a big Maiden fan.. But the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album is an Absolute Masterpiece...!
I have seen them in concerts only 17 times since 1985.... every time was a blast.
Iron Maiden’s catalog is like a course in the humanities.🎉
Hallowed Be Thy Names (Live Version) will show you how incredible Bruce Dickinson is. The rest of the guys aren’t slouches either.
I was going to suggest this, so bloody good! The whole thing is just majestic.
the live version from the 80s
@@notwokevikingrules401 definitely. While the modern version is great the 80's one is a whole other level.
Great song..May I suggest “Children of the Damned” “22 Acacia Avenue” or “Revelations” next sometime
Up the Irons!
The BEST heavy metal band ever!
So many great songs - “Hallowed be thy name”, “fear of the dark”, “blood brothers”, “flight of Icarus”, “rhyme of the ancient mariner”, “aces high”, “can I play with madness”, “pachendale” (a personal favorite), and dozens more.
Also, check out Queensryche “take hold of the flame” (live in Japan 1984)
This is the song that introduced me to the band, and their amazing music.
Steve Harris is the Bass Player , and principal songwriter. And very much into History, as well as Bruce Dickinson.
Oh F yeah!!! I’ve been waiting for this one and just more Maiden for so long so THANK YOU!! One of my top 3 all time fav bands evver!
I'm so glad Jay came around to the awesomeness of this song!
Hallowed be thy Name is a mind blower. Bruce holds a note for around 17 seconds
As we Maiden fans say to each other: "Up the Irons"! Great band - even today!
I enjoy these songs and I enjoy seeing your good vibe reactions 😊
"I just wanna give props to the drums"
Absolutely right Amber, RIP Clive Burr indeed - absolute inspiration drumming-wise to me, a total monster on that kit 👍
40 years ago and was very supportive of the Native Americans.
I love how deeply she is moved by the music and lyrics. You can see and feel it watching her...
This song and Hallowed be Thy Name are Iconic!!
Hallowed Be Thy Name HAS to be the next Maiden song. Just incredible
My favorite Iron Maiden song. I'm Stolo First Nations from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Hallowed be thy name and fear of the dark are two of my all time favorite songs .
If you're going down the metal road this band is of course a must. Iron Maiden in essential metal.
Literature, and history are main inspirations for Maiden.
Fun fact, the bass player (Steve Harris), plays his bass fingers style, he is one of the fastest and most steady bass players using that playstyle.
The "gallop" sound is his signature sound.
This song is famous for its drums... the drumsss! Run for your life!
Thank you, Jay! I was about to reach through the screen! LMAO Kidding, of course. I love Maiden. Between the dualing lead guitars, the bassist whipping through those notes, the non-stop drums and the sick Bruce vocals, daaaaaaang! Yeah, baby!
I request The Trooper! ROCK ON! 🤘🤘🤘
This song is now a bittersweet memory for me. One of my best friends from high school killed themselves (over a decade ago now), but this was one of his favourite songs. I have such great memories of him rocking out in the car to this ❤ man, do I miss him.
When I was fifteen, chilling in my room listening to B-52's, Talking Heads, Human League or Kraftwerk, my younger brother was next door blasting this or something similar, maybe Motorhead or Dio. My brother passed over twenty years ago and I haven't listened this group since until today. I'm stting here smiling, so thanks for that.
I saw Iron Maiden the first time in 1982 on TNOTB Tour opening up for Judas Priest. 2 tickets first level $18.50. Saw them again on their Piece Of Mind tour.. headlining. I got off the IM bandwagon after I discovered Thrash Metal with Metallica, Megadeth and Mercyful Fate. (which you need to listen to if you like musicianship). But the Number Of The Beast is Iron Maiden's apex (for me) and this song brings back so many memories.
Where Eagles Dare is another great early 80's Maiden classic if you love drums.
One of the greatest things about Iron Maiden, was the album artwork.
The bass guitar and the mad drum roll fills are just epic AF in this track!
