Ya I always recommend the studio version when someone is hearing a group for the first time, this song being the exception! The live concert version is amazing!
Well, if I can say something...The studio version is amazing. The live is just epic. Don't matter which one you listen, you've made a great choice!
Lol, I came to post the same thing. My exceptions are this and Fear of the Dark.
There are two bands, with which you should always go with the live versions: Iron Maiden and The Warning are better live in my opinion.
Just have seen them live yeasterday, again. "Hallowed be Thy Name" still is a banger. Seems like Bruce fully recovered and again can sustain those epic notes.
Live after death live version is the best IMO
Welcome to Maiden, they tell a lot of stories both with lyrics and music.
Steve Harris (bassist) is a song writing/lyrical genius.
That's 2 lead guitarists playing in harmony except for the solo, that each does 50% of it.
I was a kid when this came out. Spent hours starting at the cover while listening. I’ll rock this one to my grave.
Steve Harris is an exceptional songwriter. With some of Maiden's songs you even get a history lesson.
Contemplating his life, knowing his death is coming, the five final stages of grief run through this man. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance ... *Awesome lyrics!* 🤘
Saw Iron Maiden live 27 times. The greatest band on the planet.
Even after close to 40 years, this never gets old for me. IMHO the album version is a great introduction to this piece because of the amazing vocals, but watching their live concerts adds another dimension, they put on a great show.
I was introduced to Maiden right about this album and was blown away! I'm 52 now lol
this song played live is a game changer
Iron Maiden's first two albums are masterpieces they had a different frontman and the atmosphere in those albums are amazing
UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘
Oh…..I SO wish that you had watched the live version of this….especially the one from 1982 at Hammersmith Odeon….I guess it wouldn’t be cheating now to go and check that out for yourself…..and I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend that you do!!!!! And in the future, when you react to more Maiden videos (and I hope you do), try to do a live version. To watch these guys perform is truly an amazing thing. UP THE IRONS!!!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
i would go as far to say metallica and iron maiden are the best bands i have ever seen live
💯
studio first
Studio first, always. You need to know a song to really get it live, usually.
I agree, but this particular song I believe you must hear the studio version first. It’s slowed down some and you get the jest of the song. Then watch it live.
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is a must
SO. GOOD.
Don't sleep on the galloping bass, an Iron Maiden trademark. You're going to be hit with a TON of recco's because this band knows how to tell a story, hit history and mythology, and darkness. Then they back it up musically. I'll just leave you is my vote's for "Powerslive." Up the irons!
Maiden needs to be seen live
Very good break down of this song musically and especially lyrically. This song is one of their most well known. Best version is live at Hammersmith 1982.
I've been listening to Iron Maiden since 1982, at the age of 15. To give you a complete list of Iron Maiden recommendations, see my list below.
Iron Maiden currently is:
Bruce Dickinson - Vocals Born: August 7, 1958 (age 63 years) Started with Iron Maiden in 1981, left in 1993 and rejoined in 1999 and present singer
Steve Harris - Bassist and Founder Born: March 12, 1956 (age 66 years), Started the band in 1975 and has never left
Dave Murray - Guitarist Born: December 23, 1956 (age 65 years), 1976-1977, 1978- present
Adrian Smith - Guitarist Born: February 27, 1957 (age 65 years), 1980-1990, 1999-present
Janick Gers - Guiarist Born: January 27, 1957 (age 65 years), 1990 - present
Nicko McBrain - Drums Born: June 5, 1952 (age 69 years), 1982 - present
Highlight of songs I'd recommend are:
From Iron Maiden------
Phantom of the Opera - A must for live version
Strange World (this one will be totally different Iron Maiden)
From Killers ------
Murders in the Rue Morgue (Very loosely influenced by Edgar Allen Poe's short story, a story of a fugitive being sought for murder)
Genghis Khan (an instrumental - perfect for air drumming)
Innocent Exile (continues the theme of Murders in the Rue Morgue of an unjustly accused fugitive)
Killers (A journey into the twisted mind of a deranged killer)
Prodigal Son(about a repentant man reminiscent of the prodigal son parable found in Luke 15 of the bible)
Purgatory(lyrics of song read like a poem)
Drifter (focuses on the possibility of new beginnings)

The Prisoner (based on the UK television series that ran briefly in the late 1960’s)
22 Acacia Avenue (The continuation of Charlotte the Harlot)

Where Eagles Dare (based on an Alistair Maclean novel, (1967), and film (1968) about a WWII rescue of an American general from a Nazi stronghold in the Bavarian Alps
Revelations (Starts with the Hymnal from Oh God of Earth and Alter, the next two verses on the Hindu philosophy, the third verse in Yoga a snake called Kundalini that lives at the base of your spinal cord, during meditation a spiritual entity is created symbolizing the transcendental union with God)
Flight of Icarus (loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus)
The Trooper (based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854,which took place during the Crimean War)
To Tame a Land (the song relays the story of Paul Atreides, Paul Muad'Dib, from the book Dune by Frank Herbert)
From Powerslave------
Aces High (about aircraft dog fighting between the British and German fighter pilots of WWII)
2 Minutes to Midnight - About the Doomsday clock for the End of the World
Back in The Village (The continuation of the song The Prisoner)

Fear of the Dark (About being afraid of the dark and the things in the dark that might be there - absolute a live performance for this one)
From Brave New World------
The Wicker Man (about the apathy of our modern society and our egotistic disinterest of what is happening until something happens to us)
Ghost of the Navigator (The lyrics are a metaphor of life, with the ship sailing west towards the setting sun representing death)
Brave New World (Loosely based on the 1932 novel by Aldous Huxley)
Dream of Mirrors (Yet another song about reoccurring and maybe premonitory dreams)
Out of the Silent Planet (Supposedly inspired by the 1956 science -fiction film Forbidden Planet)
From Dance of Death------
No More Lies (The lyrics deal with someone knows his time has come with the possibility of reincarnation)
Dance of Death (Orinally inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film The Seventh Seal - Another one to do as a live performance)

From A Matter of Life and Death------
Brighter than a Thousand Suns (About the dawn of the nuclear bomb age)
The Longest Day (about the WWII Normandy Invasion)
Out of the Shadows (Questioning the meaning of life)
Another great reaction with fantastic insight. Maiden has so many epic songs and they put a ton of energy into their live performances. If you ever decide to do another full album like DSOTM, I would love to see your analysis of Operation: Mindcrime by Queensrÿche. Keep up the fantastic analyses.
Yes, this is one in the minority that you should do LIVE instead of studio, do from their early 80s era, it is amazing the energy between fans and the band. Bruce is out of his mind good, you will love it. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎶
This whole album is one epic story after another....I was 14 when I brought this home from the Music+ store (if you know, you know)...🤣...I truly believe my mom was really close to arranging a church intervention, but she didnt and another metalhead was born!!...🤘🤘
Glad to see you got around to making your first Maiden reaction! If you decide to react to another Maiden track I would recommend that you try listening to a live version. Iron Maiden is one of those bands that puts just as much work into showmanship as they do their music and the vocalist Bruce Dickinson is a prime example of that.
And Steve Harris on the bass!!!!!!!!
1982 'BEAST OVER HAMMERSMITH' Live performance of this song is quite possibly the best rock live performance of all time.. Bruce Dickinson holds a 13 minute high noted belt. Musician's are in complete synchronicity and the drum performance is mind blowing
The first Iron Maiden song I always start people out with is Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. GREAT tune based on the poem by Samuel Coleridge. Please check it out next. Please watch the live video, Iron Maiden is amazing live
Really? It's SO long and drawn out. Great song, to be sure, but I would never use that as an introductory song.
@@mournblade1066 in my opinion it is their best song both lyrically and musically. I want him the hear their best.. and I don't feel it's drawn out at all. When I listen to it I usually play it at least 2x because it's over too soon! Y
You must have a short attention span. That's actually one of the shorter songs I recommend to people. I always start with the 25 min masterpiece Supper's Ready by Genesis, the the 25 min Raider11 by Steven Wilson and then the 17 minute Anesthetize by Porcupine Tree. By comparison, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is a REALLY SHORT song!
1982 live performance is just great
The trooper has got to be next. Incredible war story with equally incredible instrumentals.
try Rime Of The Ancient Mariner has to be live tho ur love it
Live version 1982. Two days before release of new album. Epic.
The Iron Maiden rabbit hole is very deep, and I hope you can explore it from end to end -- Bruce Dickinson is one of the greatest vocalists and storytellers in the history of heavy metal, and he's surrounded by excellent musicians... And that's TWO lead guitarists -- Adrian Smith and Dave Murray -- who play for Iron Maiden...
Another band I highly recommend to check out is Saxon -- they've also been around for 40-plus years and they sound even better now than they did in the early '80s, with a vocalist who sounds even stronger now (highly recommend more recent albums like Thunderbolt, or Sacrifice, or the classic Denim and Leather from 1981)...
Many would say Iron Maiden is the greatest metal band. They make a strong case for that and I wouldn’t dare to tell them otherwise.🤘🤘🤘
Two minutes to midnight is their best song and nothing is close..One of the greatest metal songs ever..
best ever love this live
*Don't Forget To Watch Hallowed Be Thy Name Live Concert (1982) & Also Their Other Live Concerts. Iron Maiden is One of The Greatest Metal Band Ever. I'm a Maiden Fan From India. Up The Irons. 🤟❤️😇*
How is this video not bigger: your analysis of the lyrics and music is fantastic. That extra effort, I think this is one of the better Maiden reactions I've seen. Cheers, and I highly recommend checking out Iron Maiden's "For the Greater Good of God", "Paschendale" or "Empire of the Clouds" for some outstanding lyrisicm.
UP THE IRONS!!! 🤘💪
Interestingly enough Iron Madian did make their own video game that they made for PC in the 90s and they did use their music as the soundtrack for it as well.
Nice analysis. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.
I really enjoyed your reaction! Lyrics are extremely important to me and that is a big part of why Iron Maiden is my favorite band ever.
Definitely watch them live - they are all such amazing performers even now
The main character goes through the 5 stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Rock in Rio concert - best live version 😃👍
Up The Irons when listening to this band live version always the best 🤘
Well said mate...
PS. Love the video.
Time for The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden.
👏🏽👏🏽welcomuto the Maiden Family 🔥⚡️🔥
Check up this Song as a live Version 10/ 20 / 30 and 40 years later - that is my Metalworld for more than 40 years and why
i love Heavy Metal
Do some live Iron Maiden reaction! Their energy live is unmached
Этому парню сделали огромный подарок! Думаю теперь он послушает ещё и другие песни Iron Maiden и тоже будет в восторге
Take them to the iron maiden. An iron maiden is a torture device big enough for a person to stand up in. It had spikes inside so when the doors were closed, well OUCH!
That whole album is like that just epic.
Another song with similar subject matter is 25 MINUTES TO GO by Johnny Cash !
It has always reminded me about the story of The Christ. Which was brilliant considering the album was called 'Number of the Beast '
Welcome to Iron Maiden History/Literature 101
Great reaction!!! Looking forward to the Maiden rabbit hole. Next up: Rime Of The Ancient Mariner -LIVE \m/ UP THE IRONS \m/
My favourite Maiden song, by far their best album. Seen them live twice and was a terrific spectacle. I've seen Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer along with many other 80s metal bands after their heyday but this one by far can actually still put on a rock show.
In the lyrics I hear echoes of Kubler-Ross's stages of grief. Denial, bargaining, anger, depression and acceptance. I'm not well versed in metal music, so can't speak to that, other than to say the guitar and drum work is outstanding. Great analysis, helps me explore metal
This is a band with a lot to say! Intelligent lyrics set to intelligent music. There are too many songs to recommend but keep digging and you‘ll find some gems!
I’ll never forget Jamie Thomas’s open line to this song in welcome to hell
You should really check out Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, specifically the Live After Death version. The song is about the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem of the same name, telling the story through both lyrics and music (including a spoken word bit that’s a direct quote at one point). It’s their masterpiece imo
I don't like Bruce's singing in that version of the song. I prefer the Flight 666 one, but they 're both great
Metallica has a song of a similar theme known as Ride The Lightning title track from Ride The Lightning. Highly suggest it as well!
Off this same album i'd recommend 'The Prisoner' (This is off their 3rd album btw, and their first with Bruce on vocals(Number of the Beast) (which catapulted them to the next level)
..and it's their last album with Clive Burr on drums. (Their next album 'Piece of Mind' (1983) is their first with Nicko on drums (He's still with them to this day) ..and right off the bat they showcase what he can do with the first track 'Where Eagles Dare)-(Which was based on a novel, that became a movie, co-starring Clint Eastwood)
There’s 2 lead guitarists. One is more classic metal and the others a bit more bluesy. The drummer is (was) fantastic - great groove and heavy handed. The bass player is the glue though. He holds all their songs together and gives them their distinctive sound. The lead singer - one of the best.
Total music 🤟
Fantástic reaction
I’m going to see them in Denver 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 yooooooooo I’m excited
Perfect introduction to Iron Maiden
You need to check out the live version of this song.
Guaranteed Iron Maiden quality. You have to check out some of their live videos.
You’re right on about the music and the tempo. The farther the song progresses it’s meant to be the speeding up of the prisoners pulse and anxiety as he comes to his moment of death
Oh and the lead singer also Flys the plane wherever they go. He is also their pilot.
Iron maiden has two lead guitarist, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith both switch out on lead🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hey, whats up dude? Bro, you really need to listen to Seventh son of a seventh son, from iron maiden. Its epic. Trust me .
Love your channel man, keep it up. Rgds from Brazil.
You mean The Lead GuitarS plural 😉 face melting solos
You have to hear a german band called helloween. Their song eagle fly free inspired a whole genre of metal called power metal
You will like 'Run To The Hills' cuz it rocks and it's historical value
Iron Maiden is the best live band ever. They use two lead guitarists that play off of each other. Now days they tour with three guitarists. One had left and was replaced, but years later wanted to come back and the band welcomed him, but didn't want to get rid of his replacement so their concerts have just tons of guitar goodness.
Megadeth - Holy Wars/The Punishment Due. Excellent musicianship, and lyrics.
I seen them twice the first time in 85 or 86 gun and roses opened for them it was 6 months before guns went big . The second time in Quebec city they had 256.000 wates of power they said they could blow the door open if they cranked it .
on point!!! great review dude
Pay attention the bass. He's a monster. The bass player is basically the writer of every song (not the lyrics, I don't think).
2 lead guitars back in the day. These days they have 3 lead guitars(!).
your outro music is very reminiscent of Chris Botti.... A Thousand Kisses Deep Lp is a great place to start.
Go look for Live in Brazil, Iron Maiden, The Clans Man . Probably the best live performance of all time
You will hear that the live versions are much better. Do some more maiden..they are usually epic
There’s only One way , Too Rock
I would like to see you reacting to rime of ancient mariner, of iron maiden too
Live on Hammersmith the best version
Iron Maiden's songs tend to be more unusual and rather deeper than most bands songs. Numnber of the Beast which is the title track of that album is very famous as is Run to the Hills which explores both sides views of the same event. I would highly recommend Bruce Dickonson's song (Iron Maiden's lead singer) Years of the Dragon.
SyedBhai's Approval rating: "Turn It Up!!!!" :P
I saw them play for beer money in a.pub in east.london....,.,lf l.could.l'd give you my memories...,.....,.
Hammersmith live performance is the best introduction to iron maiden. Pick any track, they are all brilliant
You might also enjoy the cover of this song by Cradle Of Filth.
They are big into history. Chk out Ryme of the Ancient Mariner. Song helped me pass juniors honors english in 87.
Aces High for next reaction.
You can pick any song off the Number of the beast album and be blown away. Btw there are two lead guitarists in this band at this point, today there are three.
🤘 🎸
/,,/ !
Keep discovering man!
Their 3rd thru 7th albums are choc full of what is essentially 'gold' (Number, Piece, Somewhere, Powerslave, Brave New World) their best stuff, imo.
There's a lot to discover with this band. Look into 'Flight 666' the whole story is epic.
7th album is Seventh Son, not Brave New World.
theres TWO lead guitarists dave murray and adrian smith.
This band writes the best metal
Steve Harris is a master at writing lyrics and Bruce Dickinsons voice is one of the best there ever was. Can we talk about his breath control at the beginning- im shocked you didn’t pause right then and ask how long he held that note! Lol
Hopefully by now he’s seen the live video of this song
Please react to Iron Maiden - Dance of Death ❤
