@rogeriopenna9014 Wow thanks so much for all the details, Rogerio. I appreciate it 🥰💙
The film footage is from the movie Charge of the Light Birgade and this is the reason back in 1983 Maiden was banned from MTV. In the movie horses actually died and that's why they were banned.
@kardeef33317 Oh wow, ok. Thanks for that. I didn't know that 🤩💚
It wasn't their second single over all, but their second single of their fourth album "Piece of mind" (pun intended). The first single was "Flight of Icarus", by the way. This album was the immediate successor to their 1982 launch to superstardom, "The number of the beast", including the two major hits "Run to the hills" and the title track, as well as what many fans regard as their all-time finest moment, "Hallowed be thy name".
However, their arguably most popular song of all time came as relatively late as 1992: "Fear of the dark".
All but one of all these songs are composed by the band's founder, main writer and undisputed leader, bass guitar genius Steve Harris. ("Flight of Icarus" is written by guitarist Adrian Smith). Note the characteristic "gallop bass" of Harris' lightning-fast fingerstyle playing, creating a groove immediately recognizable as Iron Maiden, and turning Harris himself - ever-modest as he is - one of the most influential and popular bassists ever.
@erikthompson619 Awesome, thanks Erik. This is very informative. I really appreciate it. I look forward to hearing more 😃💙
@@playitagainsue My pleasure, mate!
Hello Sue, my name is Brian from White Bear Lake, Minnesota...So i have a song video for you to watch from Iron Maiden, it's the Live 1982 version of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', it is considered to be the best rock video ever made, singer Bruce Dickinson sings his butt off in this video, you can really hear his operatic voice come out in this song, with his long vabratos, and long notes, not to mention his vocal range. In my opinion this why i think every other rock singer secretly wishes that they could sing like Bruce could when he was in his prime. Pay attention to the long note in the beggining of the song, and the 2 long notes at end of song, they are 'EPIC'...The song is about a man being sent to the gallows to be hanged and he is looking back on his life. Most of Iron Maiden's songs are about an important event that has happened in history. So watch this video for sure, it is amazing !!!...Must Watch.
Thank You Sue 🤘🤘

Hi Brian, I appreciate you tuning in and commenting. I enjoyed reading your comment with the description of Bruce's vocals. I look forward to hearing the song you suggested. Thanks a bunch and greetings to you from me here in Canada 🥰
hi sue iron maiden formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris who is also the primary songwriter Bruce Dickinson is the lead singer he joined iron maiden in 1981 and then their success came with his voice
Hi He He, thanks a bunch. It is great to hear from you. I hope you are well 🥰
@@playitagainsue hi I'm fine even though I'm on sick leave and I hope you're fine too
Iron Maiden is one of my all time favorite metal bands 🤘🏼😃🤘🏼
@@bobdillashaw4360 Hey Bob, I understand why I really liked this 🤩
@@playitagainsueI really loved your smile and the fact you enjoyed it, it is awesome seeing people get into the music that either they were to young at the time or just wasn’t into it during this period ❤
@@bobdillashaw4360 awe, thanks so much, Bob! That is very kind of you. You made me smile with this lovely comment 🥰♥️
Welcome to the creed. Up the Irons..
@@ifa144 Thanks a bunch. I can't wait to hear more of their stuff 😎💚
Great reaction Sue, welcome to a deep rabbit hole. The boys are currently touring, and just announced today a new world tour starting in May 2025 going into 2026. As an old Iron Maiden fan since there 3rd album , The Number of the Beast, a good idea is to have the lyrics open to follow. Bruce has a very clear voice, but the lyric are generally not just simple bubble gum crap. The band included the lyric in all there Albums, Cassettes and CD's, and I appreciate it. Enjoy the journey, my favorite band without a doubt. Up the Irons!!
@gildelorme6018 thanks so much Gil. I appreciate you tuning in and commenting. I can't wait to hear more if their stuff. This was great 😎💜
Like you, Sue, the only song of Iron Maiden's that I was really familiar with before was "Run To The Hills", which was a hit in Australia .. That wasn't bad, but it wasn't enough for me to want to explore them in greater depth .. This song is good too, and I wouldn't mind listening to the occasional song from them if this is typical of their work.
@wayne_twentyfive Hey Wayne, I am with you. This song really piqued my interest. This was a good one 🤩♥️
Rime of the ancient mariner flight 666 live...I recommend you... saludos desde Chile.
@christianastudillo2424 Great thanks Christian. Greetings back from me here in Canada 🤩
Fear of the dark live rio 2001 👍
666 the number of the beast
Great metal song
Bruce Dickinson is a pilot of big planes ( 747’s ) like John Travolta
@@jessem470 That is very cool. I wonder if he has his own plane 🤩
@@jessem470 and Historiador.
@@playitagainsue He has his own aviation company, Bruce is one of the very few polymaths ( A person of wide knowledge or learning ) he has degree's in music and history he is an Olympic standard fencer ( sword fighter ) he has a beer brewing company the list goes on an on.
@@bazzingabombforgot about his fencing
Amazing
Also he was nearly picked for the Olympics as a fencer
I liked this, not familiar with the song but I don't mind some metal now and again.
@kimr3729 Hey Kim, I liked it too. I don't know much about them but this was a good one 🤗💗
40years later they actually rulez NewZeeland and before Australia with fantastic LiveShow
Since you´re on the metal path I give you NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score - live at Wacken 2013. Please react to that. Think you will be surprised (if you haven´t alreadt heard them that is)
Go go go go go go go

@@carlospozaplaton3089 Thank you, Carlos 🥰
I have a strange relationship with Maiden, and I hate this video. I FIRST SAW THEM FAIRLY EARLY ON IN A SMALL PUB IN LONDON. I THINK they're totally over hyped, and I don't think Bruce can sing. The footage is from anThe Charge of the Light Brigade, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, a 1936 movie. I find their music one dimensional, samey and cliched. I prefer their first singer Paul Dianno. The world worships maiden, especially North and South America, but I don't think they understand how cliched the whole thing is.
Hey Phil, thanks for your comment and for tuning in. I appreciate your input and for telling me where the video clips came from. Cheers 😃
@@playitagainsue Phil would be part of something called the very tiny minority. One other thing about Maiden: None of their music has ever received radio airplay or other forms of mainstream promotion. So I'm not sure who would be doing the overhyping. Maybe it is the band's fans enthusiastically expressing their admiration for 40+ years of solid music. Perhaps it's time the fans calm down a bit.
@talismanmia2537 Hey Talisman, rhanks for clarification. They don't seem like a mainstream radio kind of band. This was a very cool song. I look forward to hearing more of their stuff 🤩
Different tastes in music is perfectly okay, but dissing fans with a holier than thou-attitude is just childish..
@@steinovemjeldheim5132 What fans were dissed? I don't understand. No dissing of fans came from me.
