Was it not also Iron Maiden that runs on the mantra of 10 or 10,000? So no matter how matter many people show up, you're expected to give them their money's worth.
You get it Lady, you should React to Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark (Rock in Rio Live). Bruce is still the active lead singer of Iron Maiden to this day. In 2015 he underwent seven weeks of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for a cancerous tumour found at the back of his tongue. But he is well now and still keeps singing.
Not only has he kicked cancer in the butt, he also holds the following titles : Commercial Pilot & Marketing Director Endangered Turtle Rescuer Honorary Doctorate of Music Olympic-Level Fencer Screenwriter Radio DJ Brews Trooper Beer The man is a God!
There are few performances better than this, if any. For Iron Maiden it might be the best recommendation available. That performance is the only live song on their greatest hits album "Edward the Great." Partial credits to the 250.000 screaming maniacs making up the audience.
I remember in the 80s in the UK following the charts in Radio 1. No Maiden air play but you'd listen to the charts and their records invariably went straight in at Number 1, back when that meant something!
Most Iron Maiden songs are stories.the mans a pilot,fencing Olympian, writter amongs many other things.Great man Bruce Dickinson.They are still touring.cheers,up the irons.
The real boss, Bruce Dickinson.hes 61 this year and he is still as SAVAGELY good and as savagely energetic as he was then but he is very voice conscious and very positive about keeping his body healthy. He is one amazing guy, multi talented, like. The rest of the lads are just as unique and brilliant. Nicko, the drummer, mad as a brush and my GOD his drumming. I've seen them with my partner twice . Honestly, a Maiden gig is more than just any gig. The WHOLE gig your eyes on the stage, transfixed, jaw dropped, mesmerised by Bruce launching himself from one end of the stage to the other, up on platforms, ALWAYS involving the crowd. The energy he gives is insane , even NOW AFTER BEATING TONGUE CANCER!! They are still 💯🤘🤘!!!! I think Bruce Dickinson is a secret superhero. 😁😀
I'm so jealous!! I couldn't physically be able to tolerate going to a show like that. But, Ye Gods, the lads would be a cataclysmic event! I've been watching some vids of them performing, and I think the key with them is, they seem to genuinely enjoy what they're doing. They don't just "phone it in". And I think they all turn up sober...which has to help everyone start and stop at the same place!
@@SandraNelson063 I cant physically tolerate it now either , unless I'm in wheelchair/accessible seating. My fibromyalgia and the other complications have let me to pretty much only get to enjoy music at home . :(
I caught Maiden a few years ago. Nothing was tuned down..and Dickinsonwas running around the stage. My dad's jaw dropped..."Holy shit...that guy is the same age as me and LISTEN TO HIM!"
@@darreleddings5901 Hard to argue that, back in Freddie's prime, but Bruce is 61 (as of this post) and still going strong after more than four decades. If you look at guys 20 years younger than him, few have anywhere close to his ability to work the whole stage and engage with the crowd.
It is hard to determine "the best" all of singers mentioned earlier plus loads more (Floor Jensen, Teil Lindeman, Metallica, AC/DC, Jinjer, Arch Enemy and loads of others) who are all specifics in their own way.
He's a great front man, but he's not the one who writes the lyrics, Steve Harris is the main lyricist (as well as bassist) of the band... he's the real story teller.
This my dear is one of the most LEGENDARY front men to ever grace a stage.. BRUCE DICKINSON!!!!! Iron maiden are gods in the rock world... phenomenal stage presence. These boys absolutely bring it eeeeevery time they hit the stage!!
Absolutely. And same @nynetynyne , only gotten to see them twice myself, in Dublin (Final Frontier)and in London (Maiden England) , my other half has been a fan since his boyhood but never got to see them. So like I did with makin sure he got to see Pearl Jam, I made sure he got to see Iron Maiden. I love PJ but Maiden just knocked it out of the park on both occasions.
It's extremely refreshing to see someone who is so clearly pop, appreciating and understanding the brilliance in metal music. I think I'm gonna mash that subscribe button. I'm also going to leave you with this tip: there's a certain mindset that is required to fully and completely enjoy metal, and you're never going to experience it while picking songs apart. Just remember, it's not all about the style and showmanship. It's more about the energy and raw emotion. Once you are able to just let the songs carry you away with them, metal becomes a way of life.
@@The_CHAMP_76 yep. Went to university for music myself...this gal knows what she's talking about...but also understands what I call "the emotional quotient" that strongly exists in metal, perhaps more so than any other genre barring blues, jazz or classical.
Amazing vocal coach dissecting an amazing song performed by an amazing band, led by amazing vocals. Yeah I could grab a thesaurus but it doesn't change how much I appreciate this video! I'm here for it ^^
Yes, but, like a lot of Older Metal Frontmen, you can hear that he can't sing as he used to 20 years ago, thats just how it is, you age, some better then others(thinking about Axel Rose...). But the enjoyement is still amazing and the atmosphere is electrifying.
@@Mugthraka bruce was singin in band before maiden fool in 70's!!! over 40 damn years ya fool halford since 1969! rip dio/rainbow!!! the 3 greats! but no maiden, dio/rainbow would exist without the guitar dual metal gods and voice of judas priest!!! that simple iron maiden is still goin strong like king diamond!! halford has semi stripped his voice but bruce is strong still i see ya haven't seen him in the past year he is powerful still boy!
One of the best concerts I have ever witnessed was Iron Maiden. The energy from this band was electrifying and Bruce commanded that stage like it was his vessel. I still get chills when I think about that concert.
Ellie Paige When did you see them? I'm seeing them in May this year for the first time. I wonder if Bruce's voice is still as powerful after his throat cancer?
Becky, you have to react to Ronnie James Dio next! Please react to a live version of Ronnie James Dio - Last in Line. Yes Bruce Dickinson is still touring with Iron Maiden. They are still killing it. Up the Irons!
Heheh I think you have that reversed.. Bruce is one of the few vocalists on par with Dio. Gotta give the devil his due here man lol. Seriously tho.. they are both masters at their craft. Metal royalty along with Rob Halford and Ozzy (Even tho, in my view.. Ozzy's vocals are the lesser of them all.. his actual voice, however, is iconic and was the basis for nearly all metal to follow.) Peace
@@uoabigaillevey Ozzy has a very distinct voice and suits the mood of his or Sabbath's songs perfectly, but he's nowhere near Dio, Bruce or Rob. Personally I'd put Geoff Tate up there with them.
Ronnie James Dio (RIP :( ) is my favourite metal vocalist ever. However did he get that huge voice from such a small frame? Bruce is 2nd and Rob Halford 3rd.
@@metalaras999 first of all, even if that was right you would still have gotten all the rest wrong. Second, he was correcting the fact that you put those exlamation marks out of nowhere
Evert..... Steve Harris is the pulse and driving force of Maiden. He is the founder and his vision was strong and he was driven to succeed from day one!!!! Love the man,and he can play the shit out of that Fender Prescision!!!
Either live aid or farm aid he fell down a flight of stairs on stage Mark Wallburg"Rockstar"style and never skipped a cord. Stayed on the ground playing untill a roadie came out and picked him up!
In my opinion, Steve Harris is pretty much the best bassist around. I mean... who else is there? Les Claypool? He goes too far out of his way to show everyone how "good" he is. Billy Sheehan? Plays his bass like it's a guitar. Just play a guitar, dude. Yeah... Steve Harris is it. There are some solid players in Alternative and Punk in terms of playing what's really right for the song. I won't go into them here because the list is too long. Harris walks the fine line between creative/unique and good for the song better that anyone else I can think of.
@@mikechomlack3915 if there is one line that is inspired by another song id say yes maiden wrote this song the nomad one i can undestand prertty rude by maiden but this one i cannot
This is my favorite song by Iron Maiden. I wore out the record when it was released. So good. But best metal song in history? Both Victim of Changes and Beyond the Realms of Death by Judas Priest would be above it IMHO.
@@MrDeengels Yeah I knew how awesome Dio was but it took till later to realize how damn good Halford is! He's like the Freddy Mercury of Heavy Metal. Not because of his orientation but the high long screams that he is able to do. So many singers tried to emulate this.
@@MrDeengels Geoff Tate used to be amazing as well. A lot of tend to forget that Maidens first singer Paul Di'Anno was actually very good. No not as good as Dickinson. But he was indeed fantastic, the proof is in those early Maiden live performances.
The 80's!! I graduated HS in 86. LA County. Saw the Long Beach Show.. Had no idea I was living one of the best decades!!! Now 51 and my nation is imploding before me
You're very right about Bruce being a conductor. I've seen them live 3 times and one time, he made the audience sing an entire song. Divided us, give signals, it sounded really good and the band had the biggest smiles on their faces
He doesn't quite have the vocal agility he used to (this being over 30 years ago), but unlike a lot of (often much younger) singers, he has learned to adapt to his ageing larynx, and can still belt with the best of them, while dashing around and leaping about the stage like someone half his age. When it comes to front-men, Bruce Dickinson is second only to Freddie.
This comment couldn’t be more spot on. At 60 he’s still the best living frontman on the planet! I’d put him behind only Freddie as well, while also acknowledging my respect for Mr Rob Halford.
Awesome to see you react to Iron Maiden. It would be fun to see you react to a performance later in their career to judge how Bruce developed his technique, as back when this was recorded he was pretty much self-taught.
@@rva I would pay to see that :) We would all love to see you cover more metal vocalists though. Michael kiske, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Of course more of Floor. Not only in Nightwish. I think you would be blown away by some of her more operatic things such as ua-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/v-deo.html. Basically there is so much to explore. We all know the screechers like Ariana. More need to know the true talents that are out there.
The real beauty of watching these videos is that because you're so willing to listen to anything, and because you're a professional who understands what she's listening to, anyone can experience hearing their favourite songs for the first time, again. Thank you.
When long notes come up I always think back to Eric Adams (Man O War). I always forget the the song, but there is one where he belts it out for a really long time.
@@WexMajor82 Ya, there is some there, but that's not the one I was thinking of. Took me a while to find it, but it's "Black Wind, Fire, and Steel" 3:40 to 4:11 ua-cam.com/video/2b0qCPGAOo8/v-deo.html
There's a clip in a documentary titled "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", done by a huge fan of all kinds of metal. During an interview with Bruce Dickinson, he made a point about being a front man for a band. He said his job was to sing to everyone in the audience as if they were in the front row, even the fans all the way in the back in the nosebleeds. That even the guy who could only afford a ticket for the worst seat in the venue deserved to believe Bruce was singing directly to them. I can't remember most of that documentary. I do however, remember what Bruce said in that interview, and the conviction with which he said it. A conviction that he has proven by becoming one of the most beloved metal/rock singers of all time. Talent, and hard work only go so far if an artist forgets who they're doing their craft for, and Bruce has proven that being completely devoted to your fans onstage literally, and figuratively, pays dividends.
How is it possible that you're British and never heard this Iron Maiden classic!? I'm just stunned. Great reaction, though! Do a reaction for their song ''Aces High''!
I can attest to this statement. I just saw Maiden over the summer for the first time and I can say Bruce Dickinson may be one of the best singers ive ever seen. His control, vibrato, and release is top notch mastery and Maiden as a group is some of the best musicians in the history of metal. Complete beasts and it looks like this chick wants their number.
@@Erkbrothers80 Bruce is one of those singers who sounds classically trained, but he is not! He is just a talented human being who develops his skills to the utmost. And Bruce has many impressive talents beyond singing.
Yes. He is still at that level -and then some. Bruce might greet you on a BA flight if he's not in tour w/Maiden! He's a professional pilot, fencer, historian, vocalist, machine.
I've been lucky enough to have seen maiden 4 times between 95 and 2018 and each time I pray they haven't lost their edge. They still blow the doors of most younger bands. They are awesome.
Bruce is really amazing, not only because of his superb vocal skills, but because he is essentially the Freddie Mercury of Heavy Metal. There is no other frontman in metal like him. Teatrical, extremely energetic performances that make teens and old guys feel the same in the crowd. You reacted to an old video, one of the firsts tours that he made with Maiden. But take a chance with another more recent video, like a wine it just aged better. The guy it's in his 60's and kicking asses. One really amazing song to listen his mulitple voices from Iron Maiden it's Revelations. Another amazing song from Iron Maiden it's Die with Your Boots On From his solo career you can listen to Accident of Birth, King in Crimson or the ballad Tears of the Dragon (great subscriber catching) Cheers from Brazil.
Bruce Dickenson has great diction too. Think this footage is around 1982 ish so please check out recent last tour in 2018 and compare his vocals.. He is a great artist and gives his fans entertainment on stage and not loosing the song IRON MAIDEN. BRILLIANT
You really can't do that though, for one he is on his late 20's here? Put 30 years of touring on top of that and no one can sustain a performance level like that, heck, even disregarding their insane tour schedule, a 50 year old vocalist just can't perform like that period. That is to say nothing he had throat cancer! The fact he can still sing at a level that is "good enough" is simply amazing
@@marviosantos but he does sing at close to that level I've seen him 3 times in the last 4 year's absolutely impressive how he maintained his voice over the years
@@@yetti399 Oh! Don't get me wrong man, like I said, I think it's amazing he can still sing at the level he is today, which by his standards I would consider "good enough", by anybody else's standards he is still a really good singer, it's just that he was at such high level that, unfortunately, he can't keep up to anymore, no one could, based on age alone, it even happens to Opera singers who have ALL the training and haven't sung in half of the concerts that Bruce has, it's just age really, it happens to us all, especially when you are talking about singing which is such a physically demanding task. Put his throat cancer on top of that and it's a true miracle that can even even sing anymore! UP THE IRONS!
@@marviosantos Spoke to him last year and he is really a great man he is 60 years old great rocker Yes forget to mention about the throat cancer Gave a brilliant performance last year on tour 2. 5 hours rocking it hard And yes outrageous around the world tour dates Respect to the band
I just love this woman ... so animated and spontaneous ... and yes, she knows a thing or two about singing ... life is so unfair. Here we are, completely in love with each other but separated by "the pond ..." Hallowed Be Thy Name" indeed ... (insert crying emoticon here).
I think you should give Mike Patton a listen. Whether it be Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas.... He doesn’t just sing, he legit uses his voice as another instrument in the band (which it is, I know, but few vocalists seen to think that way).
I personally love this playing of the song, but I like his screaming at the end on the Live After Death concert video better. Plus the energy is even higher. Steve jumps off the riser and trots down to the front and it accents the power of the moment. Check it out if you get the chance.
To be completely fair, you know a lot more than vocals. I really like your knowledge about composition, presentation and instrumental tempo. Just discovered you and I feel like you are teaching me a lot of stuff about music I wasn't able to appreciate before. Thank you.
Ahh... Rebecca getting the full experience of Bruce Dickenson's amazing vocals. This is a great song from them, I've been a long time fan of Iron Maiden. And lately an adoring fan of the lovely Rebecca as well.
Let me introduce you to the great Bruce Dickinson: Vocalist, pilot, song writer, screenwriter, director of marketing, history professor, business man, and most importantly, a SURVIVOR OF CANCER
Darling... Finally you've just met The Beast!!!! I'm glad for that! YES!!! He's Still Singing Like That!!!! I saw them on past july in Brooklyn for the third time! I think they'll be touring next year in Europe, my suggestion... GO!!!! The Legacy of The Beats is the name of the tour and you're gonna love the theatricality of their show. That guy is amazing, they have their own plane called Ed Force 1 and guess what? He's The PILOT, he's fencer, a writer, a songwriter, a broadcaster, producer, businessman and he recently beat the fucking cancer. The way he commands the audience it's remarkable and that's why I consider him The Best Frontman of Heavy Metal Genre!!!! You should watch the concert of Donington 92' and you can react to Run to the Hills Live from The Legacy of The Beast (I was there) and Fear of The Dark Live in Argentina at the Flight 666 Tour. Awww you gonna love these songs with the audience!!!! #UpTheIrons
I love how you balance both emotion and analysis with your reactions - you’re genuinely empathetically connected and technically knowledgeable. I’d like to suggest you watch and listen to A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras Live at the Tonight Show. I feel you would appreciate both the technical beauty of the singers voice and the heartbreak he perfectly conveys.
I saw him on Monday night (10-17-22) and they did this song. Bruce is still a spectacular singer, showman and actor. He is an absolute marvel and we’re lucky to still be able to see him AND them live and in-person. I was in awe of them and I’ve seen them many times over the years, dating back to the DiAnno days. I’m glad there is still a band that can do that.
Bruce Dickinson truly is like a conductor. To this day, if you have the privilege to see them live such as myself, he is the one who gets the crowd going and translates that energy to everyone in the venue. I think you should see more recent performances, he's 60 and he's better than ever! 🤘
Oh yes! I was not expecting this one! And yes Bruce is still going as is Iron Maiden! Try Female Metal Singers: Expectation vs Reality. There are a lot of great clips in there of metal singers
I love how you are one of the very well known vocal coaches here on youtube but you're one of the few from that group that actually reacts to and embraces rock, hard rock and metal as well as pop. And you do it with so much respect and actually talk about the tecnical abilities of those musicians. LOVE your content! P.S.: I know there are a lot of vocal coaches that react to those music genres, but what I mean is that she's not necessarily a "metalhead person" so I think it's so great that she tries to react to things other than just current mainstream music.
So chuffed you did a Maiden one, in answer to the question what Bruce is doing now believe it or not he's an airline pilot. As someone else has stated this isn't necessarily the best song for vocal performance but it's not too shabby either. X
"It's getting even faster the tempo is WILD" Yeah, it does that... Love your reactions very composed yet genuine ^^ This performance is from 1982, you might want to take a look at the rock in Rio 2001 performance for 2 reasons: he had a longer experience, and that year the tour had a very special line up of guitarists (all 3 historical), you might find an even wilder solo in this one ;) guitars answering each other. Also, No More Lies and Fear of the Dark are probably worth a look. By all account he's an incredible performer. I remember a live show where I was, he tripped on a wire, got up and continued like nothing happened. And he's old enough to be my grandfather xD Such energy
got to see them live in 2018, Bruce's voice hasn't changed in all these years and it's so incredible! you should react to dragonforce - through the fire and flames live, the tempo is wild! love you
I love his voice hes got such a unique voice its instantly recognisable. Im sure he has 3 lungs he never seems to run out of air. Iron Maiden do the dual guitar thing so well i love the two guitars together. All of its so good
@@heidibaltom8138 they are still active. he had throat cancer overcame it and rocked their last album Book of Souls. even tho you obviously hear the damage the cancer did hes still in a class of his own

I'm so jealous!! I couldn't physically be able to tolerate going to a show like that. But, Ye Gods, the lads would be a cataclysmic event!
I've been watching some vids of them performing, and I think the key with them is, they seem to genuinely enjoy what they're doing. They don't just "phone it in". And I think they all turn up sober...which has to help everyone start and stop at the same place!
@@SandraNelson063 I cant physically tolerate it now either , unless I'm in wheelchair/accessible seating. My fibromyalgia and the other complications have let me to pretty much only get to enjoy music at home . :(
From what I hear even after the cancer Bruce is still bouncing around the stage like he's a young man
I caught Maiden a few years ago. Nothing was tuned down..and Dickinsonwas running around the stage. My dad's jaw dropped..."Holy shit...that guy is the same age as me and LISTEN TO HIM!"
You should watch Iron Maiden Fear of the dark live from Rocking RIO great show from Brazil.
Ae sim hein. Isso que foi show mermão!
best live video i've ever seen
Shows Bruce's style of story telling with the audience the best interaction
That one really will make you want to sing badly ^^
I think the version from live after death is the best...
"Bruce Dickinson... very special like a conductor... understands the audience" - absolutely right. Nobody works the stage and the audience like Bruce!
Freddie Mercury. GOAT.
@@darreleddings5901 Hard to argue that, back in Freddie's prime, but Bruce is 61 (as of this post) and still going strong after more than four decades. If you look at guys 20 years younger than him, few have anywhere close to his ability to work the whole stage and engage with the crowd.
Freddie mercury and Ozzy
@@rubenacevedo4032 Ozzy is great in his own right, but doesn't work the whole stage like that.
It is hard to determine "the best" all of singers mentioned earlier plus loads more (Floor Jensen, Teil Lindeman, Metallica, AC/DC, Jinjer, Arch Enemy and loads of others) who are all specifics in their own way.
"What a storyteller." Yes, yes. In three words you have the essence of Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden.
One could say he’s a talisman
He's a great front man, but he's not the one who writes the lyrics, Steve Harris is the main lyricist (as well as bassist) of the band... he's the real story teller.
Most definitely!
@@chopps75 I think Bruce has written a lot of Iron Maiden lyrics himself - maybe not that much as Steve, but still quite a lot.
Bruce lyrics are awesome too
Bruce "Human Air Raid Siren" Dickinson: Olympic-standard Fencer, commercial airline pilot - and still singing like that at 60 years young! 🤘🎸📢🏹🛫
And his cousin, Rob Dickinson, fronted Catherine Wheel.
PageMonster and a doctor ;)
He really is, like, the epitome of success.
and author...
...and amateur historian
This my dear is one of the most LEGENDARY front men to ever grace a stage.. BRUCE DICKINSON!!!!! Iron maiden are gods in the rock world... phenomenal stage presence. These boys absolutely bring it eeeeevery time they hit the stage!!
Absolutely.
And same @nynetynyne , only gotten to see them twice myself, in Dublin (Final Frontier)and in London (Maiden England) , my other half has been a fan since his boyhood but never got to see them. So like I did with makin sure he got to see Pearl Jam, I made sure he got to see Iron Maiden. I love PJ but Maiden just knocked it out of the park on both occasions.
They’re really the ones who started it, and none have matched them.
Every single time!!!🤘🤘🤘
Seen them twice , both times fckn amazing
Look for the Rock In Rio 2001 version... Is the best!!!
I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Masterpiece.
It's extremely refreshing to see someone who is so clearly pop, appreciating and understanding the brilliance in metal music. I think I'm gonna mash that subscribe button. I'm also going to leave you with this tip: there's a certain mindset that is required to fully and completely enjoy metal, and you're never going to experience it while picking songs apart. Just remember, it's not all about the style and showmanship. It's more about the energy and raw emotion. Once you are able to just let the songs carry you away with them, metal becomes a way of life.
Well Said Brother
I hit the subscribe button for the same reason.
@@ferox965 Haha,I think alot of peeps do the same thing
@@The_CHAMP_76 yep. Went to university for music myself...this gal knows what she's talking about...but also understands what I call "the emotional quotient" that strongly exists in metal, perhaps more so than any other genre barring blues, jazz or classical.
Same, I subscribed. She appreciated tool and type o negative. Has good taste.
Amazing vocal coach dissecting an amazing song performed by an amazing band, led by amazing vocals. Yeah I could grab a thesaurus but it doesn't change how much I appreciate this video! I'm here for it ^^
Actually Iron Maiden is still going strong! Bruce Dickinson and the guys world tour every year in sold out stadiums and arenas!
Yes, but, like a lot of Older Metal Frontmen, you can hear that he can't sing as he used to 20 years ago, thats just how it is, you age, some better then others(thinking about Axel Rose...).
But the enjoyement is still amazing and the atmosphere is electrifying.
@@Mugthraka Agreed, but no one here is talking about him aging, I just stated that Maiden is still selling records and world touring.
@@Mugthraka bruce was singin in band before maiden fool in 70's!!! over 40 damn years ya fool halford since 1969! rip dio/rainbow!!! the 3 greats! but no maiden, dio/rainbow would exist without the guitar dual metal gods and voice of judas priest!!! that simple iron maiden is still goin strong like king diamond!! halford has semi stripped his voice but bruce is strong still i see ya haven't seen him in the past year he is powerful still boy!
I'll be seeing them in Philadelphia pa USA in July, and cant wait!
@@Mugthraka he actualy better than the last 10 years. Amazing guy, saw them in the legacy of the beast, he is fucking briliant
One of the best concerts I have ever witnessed was Iron Maiden. The energy from this band was electrifying and Bruce commanded that stage like it was his vessel. I still get chills when I think about that concert.
Ellie Paige When did you see them? I'm seeing them in May this year for the first time. I wonder if Bruce's voice is still as powerful after his throat cancer?
@@ep6808 I saw the Somewhere In Time Tour
Becky, you have to react to Ronnie James Dio next!
Please react to a live version of Ronnie James Dio - Last in Line.
Yes Bruce Dickinson is still touring with Iron Maiden. They are still killing it. Up the Irons!
InfWolf Stargazer
@@charlesbolen Stargazer is a great choice... All The Fools Sailed Away would also be a good one
I could have been a dreamer !!!
Dear Rebecca, imagine this was 1983... he still does that, aged 59 in 2019, smae voice..
Smae voice Smae Man its all the smae.....Im sorry.......LOL
He became 60 in august last year... And i think his singing is better after his cancer...
To be fair he doesn't have the high range and sustain that he used to have, but he's still a force!
Dark ice metal film, I was there it was his first tour number of the beast
@@MichaelRCarlson dude did have throat cancer mind and you can barely tell
You gotta check out Stargazer by Rainbow. The singer, Ronnie James Dio, is one of the few people that is on par with Bruce Dickinson.
Heheh I think you have that reversed.. Bruce is one of the few vocalists on par with Dio. Gotta give the devil his due here man lol.
Seriously tho.. they are both masters at their craft. Metal royalty along with Rob Halford and Ozzy (Even tho, in my view.. Ozzy's vocals are the lesser of them all.. his actual voice, however, is iconic and was the basis for nearly all metal to follow.)
Peace
@@uoabigaillevey Ozzy has a very distinct voice and suits the mood of his or Sabbath's songs perfectly, but he's nowhere near Dio, Bruce or Rob.
Personally I'd put Geoff Tate up there with them.
I totally agree, Dio is my favorite vocalist. The way I worded it might have incorrectly implied the opposite.
Ronnie James Dio (RIP :( ) is my favourite metal vocalist ever. However did he get that huge voice from such a small frame? Bruce is 2nd and Rob Halford 3rd.
Yes yes yes!
Rebeca : ''its geting even faster the tempo!!! its wild!!
R.I.P clive we will never forget your speed!!!!
@daAnder71 tempo , i got ti right , its same writen as your's. Smartypants
@@metalaras999 first of all, even if that was right you would still have gotten all the rest wrong.
Second, he was correcting the fact that you put those exlamation marks out of nowhere
Thank you for appreciating Steve Harris' playing.
He's a hero for us bassists!
Awesome reaction, greetings from Mexico, mija.
Evert..... Steve Harris is the pulse and driving force of Maiden. He is the founder and his vision was strong and he was driven to succeed from day one!!!! Love the man,and he can play the shit out of that Fender Prescision!!!
Either live aid or farm aid he fell down a flight of stairs on stage Mark Wallburg"Rockstar"style and never skipped a cord.
Stayed on the ground playing untill a roadie came out and picked him up!
In my opinion, Steve Harris is pretty much the best bassist around. I mean... who else is there? Les Claypool? He goes too far out of his way to show everyone how "good" he is. Billy Sheehan? Plays his bass like it's a guitar. Just play a guitar, dude.
Yeah... Steve Harris is it.
There are some solid players in Alternative and Punk in terms of playing what's really right for the song. I won't go into them here because the list is too long.
Harris walks the fine line between creative/unique and good for the song better that anyone else I can think of.
@@gordocojones Great comment bro! Your perspective on Harris is super,and I could not have made a better point! Rock on Steve !!\m/
RIP Clive Burr, perfect drummer...
The best!
HAILS TO YOU REBECCA! WELCOME TO THE METAL FAMILY!
Yes
Clive burr is much better than niko mcbrain this drumming was actually good after Clive burr all iron maiden’s drum work wasn’t as god as before
@@tusharkharya7821 Wrong. Niko is also an amazing drummer.
Remember, a man is dying. The tempo increases as he approaches the Gallows.
Didn't ever think of that till now. WOW. Bruce is VERY intelligent.
@@trevorblackbirdguitar9952 Bruce? wtf? STEVE!!!
@@BodomVe I legit forgot Steve Harris wrote most of maidens material 😂
Exactly! and everything about the song from the tempo to the up down high low movement of the notes is remeniscent of a ticking clock.
Followed his heart rate Im sure :(
I'm an Iron Maiden fan for 40 years.It never bores🤘
I'm 39 and it never bores to read comments like this, cool mate! 🤘
Bruce Dickinson (singer) is called the “Air Raid Siren” for a reason. Yas!!!
Girl, this song you're analysing, is simply the best song in the history of Heavy Metal Music.
I wouldnt say it's the best song in history since maiden technically didnt even write it but made it amazing !
@@mikechomlack3915 if there is one line that is inspired by another song id say yes maiden wrote this song the nomad one i can undestand prertty rude by maiden but this one i cannot
I ll go with heaven and hell if we r talkin about the best metal song ever
I recommend history of heavy metal music classes.
This is my favorite song by Iron Maiden. I wore out the record when it was released. So good. But best metal song in history? Both Victim of Changes and Beyond the Realms of Death by Judas Priest would be above it IMHO.
Iron Maiden was 'my' band as a teen. They still sound amazing today. Damn the 80s ruled!
Absolutely!
Sean Miller Bruce, Halford, and Dio were vocal masters.
@@MrDeengels Yeah I knew how awesome Dio was but it took till later to realize how damn good Halford is! He's like the Freddy Mercury of Heavy Metal. Not because of his orientation but the high long screams that he is able to do. So many singers tried to emulate this.
@@MrDeengels Geoff Tate used to be amazing as well. A lot of tend to forget that Maidens first singer Paul Di'Anno was actually very good. No not as good as Dickinson. But he was indeed fantastic, the proof is in those early Maiden live performances.
The 80's!! I graduated HS in 86. LA County. Saw the Long Beach Show.. Had no idea I was living one of the best decades!!! Now 51 and my nation is imploding before me
You're very right about Bruce being a conductor. I've seen them live 3 times and one time, he made the audience sing an entire song. Divided us, give signals, it sounded really good and the band had the biggest smiles on their faces
This song is so fucking good. Nothing could ever compare
*Laughs in Heaven and Hell.
Absolutely agree killer tune
Heaven and hell another of my favorites the little man with the big voice. Rip RJD
Heaven and Hell, Hallowed be thy name, One, Child in Time. The big 4
Check out Iron Maiden - Rime of The Ancient Mariner. It's a long song, but you won't regret the experience ☺
Yeah, great song. The live version from their Flight 666 DVD will make your day \m/
It's a fine thing to see a professional vocal coach acknowledge Bruce's (and the rest of the band's) massive talent.
Fun fact: Along with being one of the greatest rock vocalists in history, Bruce is an airline pilot and children’s book author 😁
Matthew and olympic standard Fencer.
Among many other talents one might not expect from a living metal legend.
And a radio presenter.. a truly talented guy 👍
And a cancer survivor
It's good to have backup career options, just in case. 😉
In my humble opinion, Hallowed Be Thy Name is the best heavy metal song ever written by bands from the eighties.
alexander fernandes valu you’ll get no argument from me, it’s still one of my go to tracks when I need to rock out
I have told my wife I want this song at my funeral it's my fav song of all time
Also fade to black
Diary of a Madman must have at least brought you pause. Good choice however
He doesn't quite have the vocal agility he used to (this being over 30 years ago), but unlike a lot of (often much younger) singers, he has learned to adapt to his ageing larynx, and can still belt with the best of them, while dashing around and leaping about the stage like someone half his age.
When it comes to front-men, Bruce Dickinson is second only to Freddie.
But Freddie couldn't pilot his own tour aircraft.
Perhaps not, but with that voice, he could command anything!
Freddie didn’t have to pilot an aircraft...he was the pilot and in control of every audience he performed in front of 🥰
Second to none!
This comment couldn’t be more spot on. At 60 he’s still the best living frontman on the planet! I’d put him behind only Freddie as well, while also acknowledging my respect for Mr Rob Halford.
React to Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner live Flight 666. You will like it!!!
Two great singers emerged from the Heavy Metal scene in England in the 1980s ...
Rob Halford & Bruce Dickinson. 👍
You forgot Geoff Tate
I would add a third: Dio
@@tallykev6608 Dio wasn’t English 😉
Not to mention Brian Johnson
Let's not forget Phil Mogg
Awesome to see you react to Iron Maiden. It would be fun to see you react to a performance later in their career to judge how Bruce developed his technique, as back when this was recorded he was pretty much self-taught.
Still get goosebumps listening to this track
Rebecca, after watching this video, I think I just learned something NEW about you. I do declare, you're a ... closet headbanging metal head.
I think she is finally coming out of the closet. We must keep coaxing her.
I think so too
I've actually done it lots on the dance floor. Does that count? Love it
@@rva I would pay to see that :) We would all love to see you cover more metal vocalists though. Michael kiske, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Of course more of Floor. Not only in Nightwish. I think you would be blown away by some of her more operatic things such as ua-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/v-deo.html. Basically there is so much to explore. We all know the screechers like Ariana. More need to know the true talents that are out there.
Goes well with her girl crush on Floor 😄😮
The real beauty of watching these videos is that because you're so willing to listen to anything, and because you're a professional who understands what she's listening to, anyone can experience hearing their favourite songs for the first time, again. Thank you.
The best voices are from 80s Rock and metal
For real the range they had
Geoff Tate all the way, but bruce was probably 2nd. Very different styles tho. neither could copy the other
9:25
"He's very exciting to watch isn't he?"
Irons up, hell yes!
"He's still going!" I love to watch people's reaction to that for the first time.
When long notes come up I always think back to Eric Adams (Man O War). I always forget the the song, but there is one where he belts it out for a really long time.
@@l337pwnage Hail and Kill
@@WexMajor82 Ya, there is some there, but that's not the one I was thinking of. Took me a while to find it, but it's "Black Wind, Fire, and Steel" 3:40 to 4:11
ua-cam.com/video/2b0qCPGAOo8/v-deo.html
Yep going to Iron Maiden this summer
There's a clip in a documentary titled "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", done by a huge fan of all kinds of metal. During an interview with Bruce Dickinson, he made a point about being a front man for a band. He said his job was to sing to everyone in the audience as if they were in the front row, even the fans all the way in the back in the nosebleeds. That even the guy who could only afford a ticket for the worst seat in the venue deserved to believe Bruce was singing directly to them.
I can't remember most of that documentary. I do however, remember what Bruce said in that interview, and the conviction with which he said it. A conviction that he has proven by becoming one of the most beloved metal/rock singers of all time.
Talent, and hard work only go so far if an artist forgets who they're doing their craft for, and Bruce has proven that being completely devoted to your fans onstage literally, and figuratively, pays dividends.
I would highly recommend any song from Iced Earth with Matt Barlow as the lead singer for a reaction video.
A Question of Heaven, if I had to choose
Bruce is the BEST metal vocalist EVER!!!!
Throw in Rob Halford and Geoff Tate....you have the Trinity
Jay Brown I dunno... there's Ronnie Dio
Rjd
Agree
After Dio with all the respect to Bruce who I love and admire a lot
Bruce Dickinson is an trained opera singer, Thank the gods of rock he used it for a higher purpose!!!
Roto Rooter he is not.
what? Bruce would be surprised to know it
Евгений Матьяш lol Bruce has said in an interview that everything he’s learned about singing he learned from a book.
And an old girlfriend.
@@karene5406 My reply was not adressed to you
How is it possible that you're British and never heard this Iron Maiden classic!? I'm just stunned. Great reaction, though! Do a reaction for their song ''Aces High''!
Oh yes! My favourite YT vocal coach reacts to my favourite Iron Maiden song! I've been waiting for this for so long! Thanks Rebecca!
Bruce is an absolute legend in every aspect!! Glad your channel popped on my suggestions.. love seeing the reactions!
Dave Murray solo can rip your head off!! Adrian cleans up the mess!! UP THE IRONS!!!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
UP THE IRONS!!!!
SCREAM FOR ME!!!
@@jasonconley7362 scream for me Long Beach!!
Hes 61 years old and sounds better than he ever did
I can attest to this statement. I just saw Maiden over the summer for the first time and I can say Bruce Dickinson may be one of the best singers ive ever seen. His control, vibrato, and release is top notch mastery and Maiden as a group is some of the best musicians in the history of metal. Complete beasts and it looks like this chick wants their number.
@@Erkbrothers80 Bruce is one of those singers who sounds classically trained, but he is not! He is just a talented human being who develops his skills to the utmost. And Bruce has many impressive talents beyond singing.
Ira Van Den Heuvel, he was classically trained !
Seen them in Toronto last year they were fucking amazing and Nicko at almost 70 played drums just like Hallowed on the album I was in shock
He's amazing but I really doubt that
Thank you sooooo much!!!!!!😍😘
If you get the opportunity go to a Iron Maiden concert you wouldn’t regret it!!
Yes. He is still at that level -and then some. Bruce might greet you on a BA flight if he's not in tour w/Maiden!
He's a professional pilot, fencer, historian, vocalist, machine.
I've been lucky enough to have seen maiden 4 times between 95 and 2018 and each time I pray they haven't lost their edge. They still blow the doors of most younger bands. They are awesome.
What I love about these classic groups is their live performances sound damn near identical to the studio version.
Bruce is the real KING of Heavy Metal singers !!!
And this is one of really the best Maiden songs ... EVER !!!
Alexander Dimitrov King?? Bruce Dickinson is a certified Metal God how dare you downplay his glory
Bruce is really amazing, not only because of his superb vocal skills, but because he is essentially the Freddie Mercury of Heavy Metal. There is no other frontman in metal like him. Teatrical, extremely energetic performances that make teens and old guys feel the same in the crowd.
You reacted to an old video, one of the firsts tours that he made with Maiden. But take a chance with another more recent video, like a wine it just aged better. The guy it's in his 60's and kicking asses.
One really amazing song to listen his mulitple voices from Iron Maiden it's Revelations.
Another amazing song from Iron Maiden it's Die with Your Boots On
From his solo career you can listen to Accident of Birth, King in Crimson or the ballad Tears of the Dragon (great subscriber catching)
Cheers from Brazil.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet The Air Raid Siren!
Brilliant track, Hallowed Be Thy Name. Bruce is a hell of a singer.
Hi, you should see more from Maiden live
another fan is about to born, never too late
Bruce Dickenson has great diction too. Think this footage is around 1982 ish so please check out recent last tour in 2018 and compare his vocals.. He is a great artist and gives his fans entertainment on stage and not loosing the song
IRON MAIDEN. BRILLIANT
I wish i could thumbs up this a 1000 times so Rebecca will do this
You really can't do that though, for one he is on his late 20's here? Put 30 years of touring on top of that and no one can sustain a performance level like that, heck, even disregarding their insane tour schedule, a 50 year old vocalist just can't perform like that period. That is to say nothing he had throat cancer! The fact he can still sing at a level that is "good enough" is simply amazing
@@marviosantos but he does sing at close to that level I've seen him 3 times in the last 4 year's absolutely impressive how he maintained his voice over the years
@@@yetti399
Oh! Don't get me wrong man, like I said, I think it's amazing he can still sing at the level he is today, which by his standards I would consider "good enough", by anybody else's standards he is still a really good singer, it's just that he was at such high level that, unfortunately, he can't keep up to anymore, no one could, based on age alone, it even happens to Opera singers who have ALL the training and haven't sung in half of the concerts that Bruce has, it's just age really, it happens to us all, especially when you are talking about singing which is such a physically demanding task. Put his throat cancer on top of that and it's a true miracle that can even even sing anymore!
UP THE IRONS!
@@marviosantos
Spoke to him last year and he is really a great man he is 60 years old great rocker
Yes forget to mention about the throat cancer
Gave a brilliant performance last year on tour 2. 5 hours rocking it hard
And yes outrageous around the world tour dates
Respect to the band
"look at these boys"
these boys are beating 70 years old. ;)
Dam I'm old.
Bruce is younger at 61
I just love this woman ... so animated and spontaneous ... and yes, she knows a thing or two about singing ... life is so unfair. Here we are, completely in love with each other but separated by "the pond ..." Hallowed Be Thy Name" indeed ... (insert crying emoticon here).
13 seconds. That first sustained note on "loooooooow" was held for 13 seconds.
Watch Bring your daughter to the slaughter 2003 Nurburgring... He held it for 33 seconds
I think you should give Mike Patton a listen. Whether it be Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas....
He doesn’t just sing, he legit uses his voice as another instrument in the band (which it is, I know, but few vocalists seen to think that way).
Santino Ghosthorse Yes. Yes he is.
He IS "Easy like Sunday Morning"...
ua-cam.com/video/vPzDTfIb0DU/v-deo.html
I personally love this playing of the song, but I like his screaming at the end on the Live After Death concert video better.
Plus the energy is even higher.
Steve jumps off the riser and trots down to the front and it accents the power of the moment.
Check it out if you get the chance.
"spaghetti fingers" is my new favorite term for shred guitar
To be completely fair, you know a lot more than vocals. I really like your knowledge about composition, presentation and instrumental tempo. Just discovered you and I feel like you are teaching me a lot of stuff about music I wasn't able to appreciate before. Thank you.
Ahh... Rebecca getting the full experience of Bruce Dickenson's amazing vocals. This is a great song from them, I've been a long time fan of Iron Maiden. And lately an adoring fan of the lovely Rebecca as well.
That's one of my 2 favorite vocalists, now do Rob Halford pleeeease
Steve Perry and mike Pattinson too pretty ease
Patton *
I just love the way you respect my old metal-heroes and putting words on a great performance. Thank`s Rebecca. You know your stuff. Up the Irons.
Now she knows why Iron Maiden is the biggest band of all times. Music, songwriting quality and of course, Bruce’s voice.
Let me introduce you to the great Bruce Dickinson:
Vocalist, pilot, song writer, screenwriter, director of marketing, history professor, business man, and most importantly, a SURVIVOR OF CANCER
Up The Irons!!!!!!!
More specifically, throat cancer!
And duellist
Up the Irons.
This is the band that got me into metal back in the 80's. I'll always have time to watch a reaction to one of their songs.
This song, this performance of it...still my all-time favourite live recording.
Loved your analysis of it as well, thank you.
"Vocal coach reacts." More like vocal coach gets turned on by Bruce.
Right? thats what I was thinking, and then it get's confirmed at the end ... " can i meet him? '' :DD
Haven't we all? He is a metal icon
Dudes: i'm a 44 year old heterosexual man, know Maiden since I was 12 and I still get turned on when I listen Bruces voice!
Luis Salzedas I’m startin to swell up
That's what I saw,... glad I'm not the only one...
Darling... Finally you've just met The Beast!!!! I'm glad for that! YES!!! He's Still Singing Like That!!!! I saw them on past july in Brooklyn for the third time! I think they'll be touring next year in Europe, my suggestion... GO!!!! The Legacy of The Beats is the name of the tour and you're gonna love the theatricality of their show. That guy is amazing, they have their own plane called Ed Force 1 and guess what? He's The PILOT, he's fencer, a writer, a songwriter, a broadcaster, producer, businessman and he recently beat the fucking cancer. The way he commands the audience it's remarkable and that's why I consider him The Best Frontman of Heavy Metal Genre!!!! You should watch the concert of Donington 92' and you can react to Run to the Hills Live from The Legacy of The Beast (I was there) and Fear of The Dark Live in Argentina at the Flight 666 Tour. Awww you gonna love these songs with the audience!!!! #UpTheIrons
I love how you balance both emotion and analysis with your reactions - you’re genuinely empathetically connected and technically knowledgeable. I’d like to suggest you watch and listen to A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras Live at the Tonight Show. I feel you would appreciate both the technical beauty of the singers voice and the heartbreak he perfectly conveys.
I saw him on Monday night (10-17-22) and they did this song. Bruce is still a spectacular singer, showman and actor. He is an absolute marvel and we’re lucky to still be able to see him AND them live and in-person. I was in awe of them and I’ve seen them many times over the years, dating back to the DiAnno days. I’m glad there is still a band that can do that.
Bruce Dickinson truly is like a conductor. To this day, if you have the privilege to see them live such as myself, he is the one who gets the crowd going and translates that energy to everyone in the venue. I think you should see more recent performances, he's 60 and he's better than ever! 🤘
You would enjoy Skidrow "Wasted Time" very much!!!
Oh yes! I was not expecting this one! And yes Bruce is still going as is Iron Maiden!
Try Female Metal Singers: Expectation vs Reality. There are a lot of great clips in there of metal singers
She's a metalhead, no doubt. Whether she knows it or not.
I love how you are one of the very well known vocal coaches here on youtube but you're one of the few from that group that actually reacts to and embraces rock, hard rock and metal as well as pop. And you do it with so much respect and actually talk about the tecnical abilities of those musicians. LOVE your content!
P.S.: I know there are a lot of vocal coaches that react to those music genres, but what I mean is that she's not necessarily a "metalhead person" so I think it's so great that she tries to react to things other than just current mainstream music.
So chuffed you did a Maiden one, in answer to the question what Bruce is doing now believe it or not he's an airline pilot. As someone else has stated this isn't necessarily the best song for vocal performance but it's not too shabby either. X
Thanks so much appreciate it
"I do know Iron Maiden. I mean we don't hang out but"
lol
Please do Ayreon "The Day that the World Breaks Down"! Epic song with 11 amazing singers
That song is awesome. I think she would like that.
"It's getting even faster the tempo is WILD" Yeah, it does that... Love your reactions very composed yet genuine ^^ This performance is from 1982, you might want to take a look at the rock in Rio 2001 performance for 2 reasons: he had a longer experience, and that year the tour had a very special line up of guitarists (all 3 historical), you might find an even wilder solo in this one ;) guitars answering each other. Also, No More Lies and Fear of the Dark are probably worth a look. By all account he's an incredible performer. I remember a live show where I was, he tripped on a wire, got up and continued like nothing happened. And he's old enough to be my grandfather xD Such energy
At home alone, can't go out. So I thought why not re-watch Rebecca and one of my favorite bands. Thanks.
got to see them live in 2018, Bruce's voice hasn't changed in all these years and it's so incredible!
you should react to dragonforce - through the fire and flames live, the tempo is wild! love you
ZP or Marc?
Bruce's voice is better than it ever was. The man is a legend 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Pannemat I think the only answer is Marc 😬
@@Pannemat Marc of course! :)
I love his voice hes got such a unique voice its instantly recognisable. Im sure he has 3 lungs he never seems to run out of air. Iron Maiden do the dual guitar thing so well i love the two guitars together. All of its so good
They actually have a 3rd guitarist now and their music is even more amazing. They're not quite so hard anymore, but they still rock.
@@jameshartwell413 oooh i didnt know they had new music. Thankyou im definateky checking that out
@@heidibaltom8138 they are still active. he had throat cancer overcame it and rocked their last album Book of Souls. even tho you obviously hear the damage the cancer did hes still in a class of his own
