Can't believe you've never heard this before. It's a great live performance and really shows why Bruce is as popular as he is for so many decades. Yes. Decades. One of the best metal voices ever.
Surfer 1972 I can't think of a band that has so many great songs, they have at least 2 on every alblum and they have a few albums were every track is a banger!
Steve Harris is easily one of the most under-appreciated songwriters in the 20th century. You can tell when a band's songwriter is a bassist because it thumps.
I grew up with Iron Maiden, dad would blast this all over the house/garage in the early 90's and throughout my teens. I will forever be a an Iron Maiden fan.
Watching your reactions makes me happy twice !!!! 1. My favorite band playing 2. Your laughing ,jumping ,yelling is very funny😂😂😂. So I almost cry while laughing too . Up the Irons !!!! 💪💪💪 from Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
I know this is a really old video, but you've just made an absolute rubbish day so much brighter for me! Your joy is so tangible, I can't help but smile and scream and jump with you 😄 UP THE IRONS 🤘
NEM I remember going to my first Maiden concert in 2001 in Vancouver. I was 18 and it was the first show that I went to on my own with or without my parents permission. I’ve been an Iron Maiden nerd since I was 14 and even now they still hold the same magic live as when I first saw them. The ban and their music will always hold a special place in my heart🖤
The sands of time for me are running loooooooooooooooooo...oooooooooooooooooooooo...ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....running looooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHWWWWWWW YEAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Saw this show in '82 and then '85...88......92. had a life and then some, married divorced. 2021 new wife new life and I took her to see them last year 2022. Wife is not a metal type but she was so impressed by their stage presence and theatrical show...SHE LOVED IT!!!
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner.(Live After Death version]. It's long, but so worth it. The Flight 666 live version is more theatrical and worth a watch also.
Seen them live twice in the past few years and considering they're all effectively pensioners now, they've still definitely got it and would easily run rings round a lot of newer bands! Please do more Maiden reactions!! The Trooper, Run to the hills, fear of the dark to name a few!
I saw them in 2017 for the Book of Souls tour, I was exhausted looking at Bruce Dickinson, they can still do, it was an incredible show that they put on.
Not only one of the best metal bands of all time...they always had some of the best (I feel the best) album cover art of all time. I couldn’t wait to see what each of their album covers were like. That double guitar work is so great. IMO....Bruce’s voice (along with Halford) are the two best male voices in metal ...ever. Keep exploring them you won’t be disappointed 🤘
I have had the privilege of seeing the Mighty Maiden numerous times since they began.....you NEED to see them live my friend....it’s an experience ! UP THE IRONS ! ! !
I saw them last year for the first time and man do they put on a great live show. Even as old men they're running around the stage climbing up to the second level of the stage and Bruce had a flamethrower and was shooting off flame bursts into the air.
Every freaking time I watch or listen to this song I get so emotional, it's crazy. Not just because of the lyrics, but mainly because of how ridiculously good this thing is written and performed. Truly a dream of a piece.
What really makes this song work as an early(ish) headbanger is not only Nicko's wicked drumming, but Steve Harris' absolutely charging bassline. Watch whenever he is on screen, and all of his right fingers and just galloping across the strings. Then add on the dual-axe attack, with Bruce wailing above it, and you have, my friends, an Iron Maiden song :P
One of my favorite songs. I saw them on this tour and they melted my face. They are one of the best live bands I have even seen. Clive Burr (RIP) was a monster on the drum kit. If you want to go on a rollercoaster ride, give Rime of the Ancient Mariner a spin. It's a long song and it is epic. Also, their first two albums with Paul Dianno on vocals are two amazing albums. I recommend Charlotte the Harlot from their first album or Murders in the Rue Morgue from the second album. Actually, any song you listen to on these albums will not disappoint.
This is an amazing song, performed perfectly.. And it takes it to another level when you realize that most the guitar parts.. are 2 people playing the exact same notes in synchronicity ;)
I'm with you. I didn't get into Iron Maiden until relatively recently. I was lucky enough to get to catch them on their tour last year and they were incredible! Easily one of the best shows I've ever seen. Hoping I get to see them again someday and I hope you do too!
I saw them twice, once in 2010 and again in 2012. EASILY the best concerts I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a bit. Btw, I'm only 29, lol. Top 3 favorite bands of all time. And always pushing for number one. 🤟🤟🤟
@@tommygunn5645 seen them 3 times, in 2000 with Rob Halford and Queensryche, in 2026 for Book of souls tour, and last year. Last year concert was best one I've ever been to.
hands down my favorite reaction ever! you're effin hilarious man! he puts the weight jacket on to stop moving.... but he still moves LOL! i can't blame you.
It took me ages to really find Maiden as well. Been into Sabbath and Metallica for 25-30 years but not Maiden. Strangely, it was hearing Fear of the Dark by Van Canto that made me listen to the original Maiden version. My appreciation grew from there.
First time I saw them was right around the time this was filmed, it made me a lifelong fan. Have seen them a number of times since, the last time was last fall. They still kick it.
I saw them live in Vegas last year. I am 30 yrs old and that is the first time I have ever shed tears of joy. My girlfriend came with me and she had never heard a song before, she was completely in awe as to how anyone can sound that amazing in a live show. It was a religious experience. Check out Dance of Death en vivo version
I had to smile when I saw this. Given this, Aces High, and other Maiden songs, is it any wonder that Brittney Slayes and her Archers have *_this band_* as one of their major influences!? (See Apex, The Matriarch, Ten Thousand Against One, The Coward's Way, Call Me Immortal) Bro, I _love_ seeing people finding the OGs of power metal, like Iron Maiden -- especially when you hear new bands like Brittney Slayes and Unleash the Archers have that classic Iron Maiden sound! Note: Now I may have to go watch one of your Unleash the Archers reactions, just to get my 'power metal' fixes, lol!
Saw them twice in the early 1980s one time opening for Judas Priest what time as a headliner here in Syracuse New York I had a Jean jacket with a kiss patch on the front and an iron maiden patch on the back
If someone asked me to pick one song to explain heavy metal, it would be Hallowed Be Thy Name. Where to go from here? The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, Wasted Years, Infinite Dreams, Number of the Beast. And the wonderful thing is they're still just as good, though thankfully with less spandex.
Classic Iron Maiden here 😀 Still wondering how you hadn't listened to them before doing your reactions but they weren't that popular in the US in those days. Now another suggestion : Sign of the cross live in Rock in Rio. That song wasn't sung by Bruce on the album (it was Blaze Bailey), that was when he temporary left the group, but this live version is amazing ! Both have such different voices, but he nailed it. Up the Irons !

He is acting most of the time. Like nobody has heard billboard top songs
@@MietoK.
Most likely. But, he is feeling it too!!!
i've heard this song 500 times,and still love it every time.
It's definitely one of their greatest
hits.
Iron Maiden have only 10 songs...🙄
Surfer 1972
I can't think of a band that has so many great songs, they have at least 2 on every alblum and they have a few albums were every track is a banger!
@@2strokesmoke783
So why are the same songs being sought ? 🤔
Surfer 1972
Are they? Ive seen at least 20 different reaction suggestions on this 1 comment section alone.
Steve Harris is easily one of the most under-appreciated songwriters in the 20th century. You can tell when a band's songwriter is a bassist because it thumps.
@Bryan Mack my first show was 1984, i already knew steve harris was god...
@Bryan Mack Iron Maiden is a Pantheon.
totally agreed.
I grew up with Iron Maiden, dad would blast this all over the house/garage in the early 90's and throughout my teens. I will forever be a an Iron Maiden fan.

Heard it since 1982,up ro now,epic.
British metal at its best ! Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, Black Sabbath ,Ozzy !!! etc
great picks.

UP THE IRONS 🤘
Old or not ITS THE METALLLL🤘🏻🤘🏻
1st concert I went to Maiden Glasgow Apollo 1982 been living and loving this band ever since.
Dude best reaction to one of the greatest metal songs of all time
You are now the only reaction channel needed!!!
Your reaction was brilliant! We in England 🏴 are very proud of these men. They are the very best in metal.
One of the greatest live performances of all time bar none 👏🔥💯👍
Aah, Bruce in his prime, and the year they took flight!
_(My vote go's to: _*_iron maiden sign of the cross live 2001_*_ next.)_

What a band!!!!!! !!!!!❤❤❤
I was there at that concert in 1982 - Hammersmith Odeon London - it was awesome
Phil Winslow did see them at the rainbow theatre
the first minute was legendary - great reaction
Unquestionable one of the greatest songs ever written regardless of genre, by unquestionably the best band on earth.
Saw this show in '82 and then '85...88......92. had a life and then some, married divorced. 2021 new wife new life and I took her to see them last year 2022. Wife is not a metal type but she was so impressed by their stage presence and theatrical show...SHE LOVED IT!!!

Quite simply one of the greatest songs of all time

They are still this amazing live.
Don't worry about imagining seeing them in the 80s. Go see them now! They're better than ever, and get better every time I see them.
What makes this song So badass is that you can hear Bruce Dickinson's lyrics over of the guitars and they he does not get drownded out
I saw them last year for the first time and man do they put on a great live show. Even as old men they're running around the stage climbing up to the second level of the stage and Bruce had a flamethrower and was shooting off flame bursts into the air.

Seen these live in Manchester brave new world concert awesome
With Clive Burr, an Animal on the Drums !!! 🙂 He was awesome R.I.P. Clive
Are they in the rock and roll hall of fame yet? If not, they should be.
1976!!! One of the greatest bands ever!!!
They are still touring. They just toured the USA last year, I got to see them in Atlanta Georgia on July 20th
My favorite Maiden song!

When they played like this? Iron Maiden still sounds like this in 2022.
thank you so much for reacting to this song
What a band... what a tune!
One of my favorite songs. I saw them on this tour and they melted my face. They are one of the best live bands I have even seen. Clive Burr (RIP) was a monster on the drum kit.

Watch the whole Rock in Rio 2001 performance. Every song is a banger 🤘
Saw them in 1984. Twisted Sister opened up.
This is an amazing song, performed perfectly.. And it takes it to another level when you realize that most the guitar parts.. are 2 people playing the exact same notes in synchronicity ;)
Aaaaaahhh he felt the mighty Maiden !! lol..
one of my fav maiden songs of all time ..just love them live better than studio every time ... love your reation xx
loneliness of the long distance runner a verry underrated song with a epic guitar intro
Mate you just witnessed the best performance by any band of the best metal song ever. Best vocal best guitar duo best bassist best drummer (rip).
I saw them that year (1982) touring as the opening band for Scorpions on their Blackout tour. What a concert!
I was at the 1985 Powerslave/Live After Death show in Long Beach. WASP opened.
Well this was an awesome reaction - he loves it
I agree I wish I saw them in the 80s. Ac/dc is my band seen them 4 times. But must see them myself.
Seeing them now is just as good. Saw them in 2016 and haven't seen a better show since or before. Epic just isn't enough to describe this band.
Sign of the Cross’01 live. Awesome display of musicianship.
This performance is flawless.
I love this band! They're so epic, so good!! ❤❤ Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do
After Forever - The Evil That Men Do (Live Cover) with Floor 😍

one of my earliest memories was flicking through my dads vinyl records and looking through all the iron maiden cover art
Priceless reaction 🤣
