Iron Maiden "Fear of the Dark" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 кві 2024
- It's been a while since we've done some Iron Maiden on this channel, so it's time to bring Bruce Dickinson back for more analysis. I asked our Patrons what song should be next up, and they all voted for "Fear of the Dark." I think I'm ready for more #horsestance!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Iron Maiden performing "Fear of the Dark” live on the Death On The Road tour. (Yes, I know Flight 666 has better quality and energy, but the vocals are difficult to analyze. I tested a few seconds before I filmed, and we decided on this version. I review the Flight 666 version BEFORE my outro, so will still see it!)

@@dulynoted2427 who's "Dickenson"?!
@@MihaiModreaMarin Typo Bruce Dickinson
I love how we’re pretty much just forcing this nice lady to listen to metal and she’s beginning to love it
I love her when she said "...it was like a terrible nightmare that was really cool because Iron Maiden was playing". 😂😂😂😂
An I almost fell in love with her 😍
She is just over reacting, tryind hard to make it interesting.
@@brianeleighton dude, who cares. I never watch these retard "react" videos because they are stupid, and this one just confirmed it.
I like Bruce's voice and maybe just because of that I got a little curious and watched this one a bit and got annoyed.
I don't like all the fake over reacting. No one does this hysteria watching music videos alone or even with friends in a normal situation. But then there is the "react" videos of these people crazy for attention making stupid faces, eyes and mouths in front of the camera. The reason so many people like such videos is beyond comprehension. Stupidity in this modern society is a huge thing.
But hey! I just made a little comment and that's no big deal. But since you get so bothered, I am telling you a bit more. But you like it? Enjoy it dude!
Why does she not mention , when going on about Bruce's stamina , that he flies the band round the tours on " Ed Force One " and then does the gig ?? .
I don't like to tell people that they "need" to hear or see something, but you really need to see and hear the Iron Maiden performance of "Dance of Death" from En Vivo. It's the most over the top exaggerated performance I've ever seen Bruce give.
Oooo. Let's get some likes on this post to push it up the list!
@@TheCharismaticVoice i would prefer to see The Talisman from En Vivo :)
@@TheCharismaticVoice It's like watching a period piece with overdramatic British acting students high on LSD set to a musical and I do mean that in the best of ways. If it doesn't get enough votes, check it out on your own time when you are in a giggly and silly mood.
@@TheCharismaticVoice Now you need to see the vocal doppelganger: Raphael Mendes... strongly recommend Aces High (IRON MAIDEN) - Cover Feat. Raphael Mendes! :)
@@ukaszkrupinski3561 Talisman is awesome from En Vivo. But to be honest, there are tons of great Iron Maiden performances, for example whole Rock in Rio is awesome.
"The audience wants to sing along to it". That's Maiden fans, we sing the whole F***ing set, including the guitar parts :D
"It sounds like he's talking to a group of pre-schoolers" Yes, also us lol
AHAHAHAHAH, this
Fear of the dark! Turururutu fear of the duuuck
Yes! Even the guitar parts! 😂Guilty as charged. Been there, done that.
And don' t forget to sing the drum parts! 😁
best comment ever
At my last Iron Maiden show, there were four generations of fans there, all of us knew all of the words and all of us sang the whole setlist. There is no band like them.
UP THE IRONS!
I was born in 1981 and thanks to my uncle I began to listen to Heavy Metal since I was in my crib. My first memory comes with "Bark at the moon", obviously I listened to it years after the release, but I was 4 years old. Then, during my kindergarten years I discovered Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and many more cool bands. If there is a band who joins me with my uncle (he was like a dad for me), it's Iron Maiden. Sometimes I listened to albums of the 80's... Powerslave, Piece of mind, The seventh son of the seventh son... The whole decade and it's magic and I shall accept it, I cry... I thank to my uncle, whenever he is. I miss him. Receive my best wishes for you and your beloved ones
Just took last Saturday my daughter to her first maiden show. She knew all the words. It was epic
@@dinodigger8807 That has to be one of my favourite parts about being a Maiden fan; that so many generations love their music!!
@@rickj6348 absolutely. Seeing her jump when I did (and in fact when all 30,000 or however many were there) made me feel proud. I did something right as a dad 😂🤘
Absolutely, saw quite a few fathers (and mothers), sons, and grandsons in attendance in Anaheim, CA last month. Amazing show, all into their 60's and playing like they're still 25!
The audiance immediately sings along coz the tune is imprinted on DNA of every Maiden fans including mine 😂
Chills everytime brother.... live it's just amazing!
Accurate AF!
Just how every Metallica fan knows exactly what to do when Creeping Death starts.
ohh yah
SKÓL
Interviewer: So, what instrument are you opening this song with?
Bruce: Crowd
hahahahahahahahaha
That made me laugh, nice 1 mate!
Truer words have never been spoken!!
Haha. True fandom there, singing along from the beginning.
Legends like bruce can play a crowd as well as any instrument
@@Knightfang1 Freddie Mercury was a master of this.
I can hear that intro a million times and still get goose bumps every single time
Same! Every single time.
Want goosebumps? Try 'Doctor doctor', the concert intro. Works every time!
Bruce warms his voice up before a concert by running on a treadmill and singing at the same time. Hence why he can run around the stage while singing like he does. I was born on Maiden, a forever fan and we don't call him "The Human Air Raid Siren" for nothing lol.
I would add the contributing factor that the entire band w/ members of the crew regularly play soccer in their down time. These ol' farts are probably the most physically fit band... ever?
So.. interview him. He's accessible and with a great sense of humor.
How accessible is accessible? Lol
How do you define accessible?!
@@milanlikesbeer2410 she’s hot
He will . Answer the phone
@@nomadicrecovery1586 LOL
The handicap ramp at the library is also accessible....interview that.
when you go to a maiden show, you sing backup vox. thems the rules. youre actually in the band during the show. theres no audience, just backup singers.... that is all. carry on.
Yeah, she should listen to the studio version of iron maiden songs, especially this one to get the backing vocal. The Trooper is another Iron Maiden song that you need to hear the studio version of to get the background vocals.
It really feels like one giant family of 80 thousand people, enjoying the moment and singing together.
Maiden concerts are just top notch, every time I was there, it was 100% worth it.
I've been to tons of live shows and maiden still put on the best live performance I've seen!
I feel privileged to have been their backing singer twice.
17 gigs in backup vocalist with them and everyone is somekind stressrelief comrad situtatuation. 40 years with maiden in my life!
I suffer from clinical depression. these songs that you react to (iron maiden, opeth, pantera, black sabbath etc..) were always the better part of my life, much more than a soundtrack. they are the best therapy I met. but still sometimes the lows get lower and I need a little more help. The way that you express excitement and appreciation for the music and artists is one of the only things that helps me feel when I can't feel anything. so thank you for that. a lot.
yup
Listen to your music dude, always listen to your music, it's the first thing we put down when we get low.
me too. depression really hurts, doesn't it?
I use Deep Metal Meditation to help with depression, anxiety and insomnia! It’s been working for more than 20 years so far!
There are certain bands and albums that I will listen to when I am depressed because most of the time they always help me. In the summer of 2021 , my mother was in the hospital for over 40 days. I had so much anxiety and depression at the time , and the only band that helped relax me was Primal Fear. Their greatest hits double album Best Of The Fear worked big time.
As someone who's been there to see fear of the dark live nothing compares to being in the crowd singing along its a whole new world
Nice pun. I see what you did there.
Or a brave new world? 😏
It's absolutely not their best song but always a high point of their live shows. Keep getting shivers just by watching videos of it.
Her facial expression is like a little kid's who's done what was not allowed and got away with it! :) I love it
She looks like a Disney Princess :)
Guilty pleasure look 😝
She's definitely quirky lol!
Yes, she is a band camp geek for sure with beautiful eyes!
She is a beautiful soul in every way.
Rock in Rio's version is the best of all. About the "horse positon" and his runnings, after 40 years now it's time for him to pay the price. He underwent thru a hip surgery recently to fix few body parts hahaha. But he is almost 100% back on shape for 2022
Agreed - Rock in Rio is definitely the best performance of this song.
That's my definitive version as well :-)
Rock in Rio (2001) has some of the best version of all songs, easily one of their best performances and the set list is just great.
Absolutely, but I understand the idea of going for a slightly newer version on this channel as she's already heard "young Bruce", so this was more similar to his sound now, while Rio is obviously not in the 80's, but he sounds younger than this version. If anything, maybe she should've picked a newer performance than Flight 666 rather than an older one.
@@henrihell agreed. As a Maiden fan, I'd like to watch reactions of Bruce singing at the Ullevi Concert in 2005. That performance..Oh My Lord!!!
Great reaction, again. I grew up with Maiden. You alluded to wanting to interview Bruce. Well, you’ve interviewed Tatiana, so why not Bruce? I’m sure he’d be totally down for it. I hope you and your team are working on it. That would be truly amazing and wholeheartedly educational 👍
Quick! Everybody Upvote this!
I want her to interview him
I'm sorry to say I recall hearing when they first started in 1975
why should he agree? really... think about.
Me esperaba a la Tatiana mexicana 😢
Fear of the Dark is an unbeatable masterpiece. All live versions are great, but the studio version from the album is something else. Up the Irons! 🤟🏻🇬🇧
i feel the live versions bump it up even more because the fans vocalize the guitar parts which adds so much to the magic of maiden
One thing you have to remember about Iron Maiden, Elizabeth, is that they don't play TO an audience, they play WITH the audience. I don't think anyone came away from an Iron Maiden concert without a feeling they were part of the band that night in the last 35 years of playing concerts. Every member of the band is a showman.
Maiden Fans are awesome too, maiden concert is so good experience everytime.
same with motorhead/dio same feeling
Up the Irons! Every show they blow the roof off. It's crazy to feel the love with such an intense group of band and fans.
Up the Irons
I've loved this and a couple other songs of theirs for the past 20 years but now I'm getting way deeper into it, and i really hope'll manage to see them live even once, being part of that crowd... woah I get shivers just thinking about it, it would be such an epic night!
I kinda prefer the Rock in Rio 2001 version - Bruce yelling "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" at the MASSIVE crowd all screaming along is hilarious.
I agree, and i was there.
Totally! The 2001 version is the best by far, sound, performance, everything ✌🏻
@@joseoliveira5585 legendary! I’m envious man 😉
Rock. In. Rio.
🤘
Bruce doesn't always start the song with the voice like that. He likes to play it up sometimes. Listen to the album version for the original opening
The live version @ rock in Rio is amazing.
This... I was about to comment the same thing.
Best
YESSSSSSS...........
Yup. That stadium is absolute bonkers! Imagine being on the stage.
Yes Yes Yes
Fear of the DUUUCK! Fear of the DUUUCK! I have a constant fear that something waddles there!
You jest, but ducks can be vicious bastards! Other duck related metal tunes include "Down With the Sickness", "The Feathered Ends of Sanity", "Hall of the Mallard King", and "Quack at the Moon."
AHAHAHA! Quack.
@@TheCharismaticVoice Yeah. Almost Kwakkah, kwakkah, eh? LOL
stolen
I have Aflac-ia...that duck is always there...
The feeling when you're one of 50 000 others, singing along, you really feel like you're a part of a community. Maiden fans are among the best in the world, inclusive and awesome.
I have seen Maiden in other states and sometimes I would go alone. I would never ever feel alone because it is one big family with Maiden. Always have a great time at a Maiden show whether I was with some friends or alone. I loved all my 26 shows.
@@jongolsteyn7031 26 concerts? Soo lucky mate! Unfortunately I never saw them live although I really love them....I started listening to them alone at 10 years old and always got kidded by everyone around me and called a Satanist....here in Albania is really bad being a metalhead bc they think metalheads are all criminals
Iron maiden fans are a very big family, and all are welcome to join us. I’ve loved them since my teens (a long time ago now) and still love listening to every song. Saw them live 6 times and even went I went alone, I found friends and a huge amount of respect for anyone who saw them perform. Iron Maiden truly engage with their fans and always give 110% to make sure we have a blast and enjoy their music. So glad she enjoys hearing them and can see just how much they care about us the fans. Long live Iron Maiden 🤘
No matter the band, this kind of moment, makes you feel like you connect with someone else for the very first time in your life.
Like for a split and fleeting moment, Everything is done and made FOR this sole moment, that the whole univers and your whole life was made for this.
Not only do you feel what you are singing and feeling, but you also feel the Others Singing, its in your bones, it courses through your body, its electrifying and unparallelled by anything else.
Can confirm, singing with 50.000 metalheads about being afraid of the dark is brilliant!
She is doing an analysis on probably the best Metal singer period. Bruce's voice is flawless.
She also did rob halford bro :D
" The legendary vocalist Bruce Dickinson " 👏👏👏
Bruce Dickinson has commented in interviews that he runs all over the stage and makes these huge movements because he performs to the ENTIRE crowd. He's playing to the back of the crowd. He wants the people in the back to be able to see his performance.
And because he sees Iron Maiden more of an act than a concert. Theatre more than just music.
His interview in Metal: A head bangers journey is great. He talks about when things are really right during the show, he can point, and the guy in the back row can feel that he's pointing hat him. the place seems to shrink.
Yep I've seen that.
He/they are amazing!!!! 🖤🤘🖤
You beat me to it. I've seen that very interview. Yes, that's exactly what he said. You need to make yourself big, and not just stand in front of the mic.
Bruce is the best showman in music. He is constantly running around the stage, never misses a note, and has multiple outfit changes.
Plus he flies the damn plane😂
Ed Force One :)
He's like if the crocodile Hunter started a metal band instead of molesting crocodiles.
if you want a showman, you go for Rammstein's Till Lindemann, now thats a showman.
The best thing is when he rides around on his imagination horse 😂
Weird Al is a worthy contender.
Iron Maiden is absolutely epic....I'm a kid from the 80's and so glad they're still with us on earth. Not many bands can reach across so many generations and still perform at their level. I want to see the day those headphones fly off and you start head-banging - hahaha.
So do I!! Here is your like
I have schizophrenia and am practically unable to do much of anything without intense fear. This song explains my state of mind at most times. It’s an intense paranoia that doesn’t have to come from ‘the dark’ but as the song says, something as simple as the light starting to change.
I always get shivers when the fans chant in the beginning. I was so fortunate to be able to do that at a live show.
hopefully i’ll catch them for the first time this year. i may too get to join in lol
Same here, did it at the show in Sunrises FL 2019, looking forward to do it again in Tampa FL Oct 27 2022 🤘🔥
@@seancunningham4462 What show are you attending to?
@@paolabarona822 i will be at download festival in june
"Fear of the Dark" live is pretty close to what religious people might call a spiritual experience. 18 shows and I will never, ever get tired of it.
It’s fun watching her realize just how complex and intricate metal actually is. I really appreciate these videos.
yea dude. its very gratifying and satisfying to watch somebody that had no contact with metal slowly discover, enjoy and appreciate the music we love for years. Not to mention that she basically explains us why we love the songs we do. It happened a lot of times for me with her reactions to Bruce and especially Dio, when I understood what they do, how they do it and the effect it has.
I've just started watching her videos. I'm the same, seeing someone appreciate metal on this level is awesome
Same! I appreciate her channel because she appreciates metal. 🤘
Watching someone realise how awesome metal is never gets boring
My favorite part is when she realizes that Bruce is telling the story, the drop occurs, and then you're in the story. UP THE IRONS!
"He just keeps on going." - Yeah, that's Bruce for you.
He's not called "Air Raid Siren" for nothing.
Even now..grey hair, hip replacement...still running round belting out that screech 🥰
More like the Energizer bunny……on steroids!
His stance comes from his extensive fencing background. He was quite good and narrowly missed making the Olympic team. He was ranked 4th best in the UK. Bruce is what you call a polymath which is somebody who achieves a very high level in multiple disciplines. Bruce is also an accomplished pilot who holds a commercial airline license
I had the honour of meeting the great man many years ago, at a fencing competition. I really had to contain myself! Then I best him, lol. (NB He wasn't at his peak at this time but still darned good)
He flies Ed-Force 1, the bands own 747
and an excellent singer!!! new word polymath!
There is a story of how he was the pilot on a flight from London to Copenhagen, when Iron Maiden was to play at Roskilde Festival - and most of the passengers were fans, so they went nuts when he did his whole "This is your Captain speaking..." speech before take-off
I'd be curious if he's into intellectual pursuits. I'd like to know what books/essays he's read. Especially any academic material.
Brilliant! Inside every opera singer there’s a secret Maiden fan waiting to come out 😂😂
Its pretty remarkable how Iron Maiden is still able to put on a great show nowadays, and Bruce is still running 20 miles around the stage and still able to breathe lol. Just saw them in Sioux Falls earlier this month.
And this from a man who has subsequently recovered from throat cancer…legend is over used…Bruce however is a LEGEND
Did see the video iron maiden released Thursday
he didn't have cancer when this was recorded
@@mayoite160 no he didn’t, that was not my point, and your point is?
I’m not talking about this video, I’m talking about a man that is still doing what he does amazingly well given what he has been through with the cancer, and a man who has done so much for where I live.
@@meht43-BringitBadger then maybe try not to use the word "this" out of context next time
I really can't wait for the headphones to fly off..
Her throwing the horns for the first time in the "Heaven and Hell" reaction is my favorite TCV moment! Her spontaneously erupting into hair-tossing, headphone-launching headbanging may be the only thing capable of topping it for me.
@@oglschmitt I'm guessing the headphones already secretly have flow though the room. Probably in some video waiting to clear..
@@nightmusic8 One can only hope!
This song is the main reason I HAD to see Iron Maiden in concert! Just being part of this...the haunting feeling of everyone in the audience joining the guitar was magical!! SO amazing!! I was very nervous that they wouldn't play it because they were doing so many of their more obscure songs! I was rewarded, however!! My heart was full!!
Maiden just brilliant musicians of the highest calibre. This singing and playing is second to none. This shows that preconceptions about ANY type of music is often blown away when people actually listen.
5:29 when you paused immediately before the drop I admit I let out a scream internally lol
I know, I got excited then she paused it and I was like nooooooo. Lol
It's made up for at 6:30 though
I love how she’s so innocent to metal and how she is genuinely excited and shocked that it can sound so good and it’s not all noise.
I think she’s a good bit beyond “shocked that it can sound so good and it’s not all noise”.
I'm not sure innocent is the right word here. She seems genuinely excited about the creativity of the bands, in a sort of artistic admiration.
To be fair, Maiden is one of the more musical metal bands. I wouldn't expect her to start enjoying Nile after this, for example.
The look on her face at the first tempo change? Priceless. Makes me think she had the volume turned up to 11.
One of the amazing things of the current Iron Maiden line-up is they have 3 guitarists. They all play lead and rhythm as required. They all get along and all respect each other.
They care more about the music than the money. How many times do we see one of our favorite bands crumble, because this guys wants $$, but the other guys want $$$$, etc. It's why Rush always made it work. Equal shares, next question. Very admirable in this day & age.
They should ditch the 3rd. He plays what Bruce sings and it's annoying af
In life I know two things for sure.
1:There is nothing like a live Maiden show
2:Don't feed the Mogwai after midnight.
Great review as always.
that´s it. The danger is feeding them after midnight, not the water :D
Finally a gremlins reference!
I feel like we are turning her to the dark side
Bruce has some of the greatest energy on stage. The band as a whole is just so powerful. The key and tempo changes, the driving bass and drums and Bruce adding the cherry on the top. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Metal is the outside of the asylum, not the dark side 😘
Nice!!! I’m stealing that lol. You will be given credit 🙂
Floor Jansen started turning her 2 years ago then Dio finished the job.
im not a huge metal guy, but its amazing to me how some metal singers can sing live
@@jochem420 Insane amounts of talent. Elizabeth has been showing the world alot of them for 2 years now. Like her first. Ghost Love Score by Nightwish.
It's impossible not to love this lady.
Iron Maiden; Another of one of my all time favorite live bands!
Every once in awhile, a song sounds better live than it does on the album. This is one of them.
Nah. It sounds just as good for sure tho, which in itself is pretty rare
@@hendrikscheepers4144 Bruce sang differently on Fear of the Dark and No Prayer for the Dying then he did on previous albums so this is actually better than the recorded version
With Maiden EVERYTHING sounds better live. If only because playing together live creates a vibe and energy that you will never get in a studio, doing X amounts of takes until the energy and rush wears off, and lets not forget, because there is no audience energy to feed off.
@@chaptermasterpedrokantor1623 I agree
At the end of the documentary "Global Metal", we end up at the first ever Iron Maiden concert in India, and the band opens up with Fear of the Dark. The audience all sings along flawlessly, because Iron Maiden fans are Iron Maiden fans, the world over. And Bruce gets a big grin on his face, like he's just been introduced to long lost family members. I do hope you get a chance to chat over tea with Bruce - he's a sweet, thoughtful guy who really does love his audiences.
Screem for me, Stoke o Trent!
Great docu
The Sam Dunn docs are just awesome.
I tear up every time I watch flight 666. I love seeing how emotional people get seeing Maiden. It is like the reaction to the Beatles got.
My "fear of the dark" is that my stepdad was trying to help me overcome the fear of the dark when I was 10 or 11 years old. He said, and I will quote, "You aren't afraid of the dark, you're afraid of what it hides." That was the whole pep talk to me at 10 or 11 years old. Not a word after it. I then asked what hides in the dark. His reply: "You never know." That terrified me for another couple of decades. I'd still be afraid that HE was going to be what was hiding in the dark were it not for his death a couple of decades back.
I was afraid of the dark for much longer than "normal" kids would usually be...at times I've attributed this to watching too many of the "wrong" movies growing up (which are great films that I love now, like Alien and The Thing), but yeah, it was more of a fear of the "unseen" than being creeped out by ghosts and monsters. For me the real shift for getting over that was studying the martial arts...once I reached a certain level of proficiency the unknown just became a lot less scary.
I've seen them twice and one of the best things about them is you can tell that they are having fun and absolutely just love what they are doing
“Yay, it continues” 😂🥲
Thats the moment you know she is a fan
Hey I watch your videos
one of the greatest moments in this great video
25:30 :-)
😅
"Bruce would be the ultimate cheerleader". That line is pure gold. I really, really hope you land an interview with him because he's just as lovely a person as he is an awesome singer and performer. And of course that you experience an Iron Maiden concert some day. The vibe is just fantastic and fans are like family :)
I would totally watch an interview of you and Bruce. Now that he is in recovery from his hip surgery it might be your opportunity.
To be fair, Bruce had so many careers (singer, writer, fencer, pilot) that one more really wouldn't be surprising.
You have no idea how fun it is to relive my youth seeing these bands again through your eyes and expertise, you bring these bands / singers to a whole different level of appreciation. Love this so much!!!
Bruce has often been said to have an operatic delivery. Watching his performances de-constructed, and appreciated, means I get to see exactly what those people are on about. The man can sing.
I am a metal head since I was 14, now I am 40 years old. We "The Metalheads" were some weird kids in black with long hair.. It is very exiting to see that over the last 4-5 years I see "normal" people are enjoying the songs I love! I think the value of metal music has increased much more with youtube.
I’m still that way! Metal,guitars and really awesome hair is me! I’ll never change!
what r u about? I'm 57, was a jock in high school, studied hard and into priest, maiden, and sabbath. also been playing guitar since 12 years old. music is music, no particular type of person defines it
I've loved metal since most of these bands (Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, & Dio!) first played in the 80s. Seeing Elizabeth react to them now is just like bringing a new fan into the fold, and makes me feel like I'm hearing them for the first time. Rock On 🤘🤘
….. yeah because rock/metal music is IMMORTAL! Can you remember ANY pop song from lets say 1987/88? Welli cant to consider i listening different kind ofmusic to be honest. Well but somehow i remember from the scratch…… Moonchild, keeper of the seven keys, Here i go again etc etc. 50 year metalhead here…… since 1980. Will die headphones on listening probably from Maiden.
I ve been a metal head since I was probably 11! Im nearing 60 now!!
I do love how Bruce can be like, confidently off-pitch. The "imperfection" is expression, and that makes it more vibrant and interesting.
It is not fear of the dark, it is fear of believing that in the dark you are not alone ( that someone else is there ) Saludos de Monterrey Mexico
'A supported holler' is a great way to describe Bruce's voice. i keep coming back to this video and others, it never get old.
Same
Regarding Bruce's endurance, in preparation before every tour, Bruce will put on roller skates and sing the entire concert setlist, all the songs, from beginning to end while roller skating in an empty parking lot to make sure he has enough endurance, build up his cardio and can last the whole concert. This is why he always has so much energy and is able to run around on stage and still deliver amazing vocals and not get tired.
That's damn impressive
"amazing vocals"...
I'm a Maiden fan, and fan of this song, and I don't see how these particular vocals are "amazing".
@@infinitydreamzz ok
@@XAMS If I want to hear good Bruce Dickinson's live vocals I'll just listen to "live after death". Recorded live, and damn good to listen to.
This is Bruce after 40 years of extensive touring, battling with throat cancer and age finally catching up with his voice. It is only natural that he is not going to be as good as he was in the 80s. That doesn't make him any less and I don't need to say "amazing" at this performance. He has had an amazing career, amazing performances and his music still sells like hot cakes. Maiden are true living monsters of Rock /metal legends.
@@infinitydreamzz Wtf are you talking about? You gave literally the worst example of Bruce vocals ever. Live After Death is notorious for having horrible Bruce vocals, his voice was damaged after a very long tour. Bruce from the early 2000s is among the best he ever sang.
This song with the audience singing along gives me goosebumps EVERY . FUCKIN' . TIME !
I know. I was seeing them 2005 in Sweden. The same feeling is still coming every time.
Truth…… especially like watching RiR…….
I will never forget listening to this 12 years ago on my first Maiden concert!
so true !
that´is maiden gig allways same and so cool.
I've just started listening to Iran maiden the last year or so and they are one of the best bands ever to walk this planet 🤘🏾When I first heard fear of the dark I was humming to another song and that song is" Mummas little baby loves shortenin bread " who else hears this or is it just me...I think the writers had this song in mind when writing and playing this song putting it together 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾one of the best songs ever Fear of the Dark 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾keep up the great work lady 🙏🏽🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
I love your sincerely genuine reaction to Iron Maiden songs, its very nostalgic to my first time listening and the simple "WOW, and goosebumps and sense of epic" that you're feeling. I appreciate and respect this so much :D
It’s really quite astounding how guys like Bruce Dickinson, Halford, Tate, Dio etc are able to deliver vocals like this night after night year after year over some of the loudest played music on the planet without destroying their voices, very cool 🤘😎 Another suggestion for a great vocalist who’s been killing it at this level for over 50 years is Glenn Hughes, this guy is astonishing for his age and has a rap sheet of great songs longer than I could list here 👍🏻
Oh yeah "Child in time" please!!!
agreed... though I always feel a little cheated by Halford, only because I have never once heard (nor seen a video of) him doing the opening scream to Dissident Aggressor live. That minor quibble aside... all the guys you listed are/were absolute beasts. While obviously not as old, though I do feel Tim Owens deserves more respect than he gets, being as he does hit all the highest notes live (be it Priest, Iced Earth, etc).
they all have lessons in classical/opera vocals ang singing.
@@bishopsteiner7134 I agree ..Ripper doesn't get his due...
You should add Matt Barlow to this list. He really set the bar for Iced Earth.
She looked like a kid on Christmas morning that just got the toy they wanted when they started playing again.
Love your show . Always fun to watch, thanks for appreciating metal/ rock and all its amazing artists .
Oh yeah! These guys make their live gigs an experience you won't forget! And the goosebumps are physically returning everytime I hear the songs again....🤘🤘🤘 great videos! keep it up!
Do Blood Brothers at Rock in Rio as next Maiden song, you will not regret it :)
Awesome performance, awesome song... you're right!
Amorphis with Anneke - Amongst Stars --- The contrast between the vocals is amazing
i like this song a lot. Good choice.
I second (Third?) this as well..
Yes, please! 🙂
Love Amorphis
I got constantly goosebumps listening to this song. This was one of my best live moments, when I was one of nearly 100.000 people in the audiance of wacken and everybody was singing around me. It was a really powerful fealing and even there was a lot of physical distance to the stage, it felt like Bruce was standing right next to me.
Thank you for making this vdeo and bringing me back this memory!
Your reaction really made my day. The enjoyment, excitement, and enthusiasm you had listening was so wholesome. ❤
When they went to Venzuela in 2009, Bruce jumped from the second level of the stage did a split mid air landed and continue to sing, it was amazing to see that and he was 51 at the time!
As a 35 year old, I hope to age as well as he does! Though maybe I should start working out to keep in shape, aside from just walking lol
Saw him this summer (2022) ... oh he was full of energy allright, the 64yo was jumping and dancing all over
The Rock in Rio version has over 200,000 fans singing along to the melodies of the guitars and it's god damn chilling to hear. Beautiful, and a lovely display of how intense and in tune their fan base is
God... that sea of Brazilians singing along in the RiR version... "chilling" barely cuts it.
Yup. And the audio version is so god damned good. Goosebumps every time!
i love watching these because her perspective is super respectful and curious. its badass seeing someone get excited hearing something brand new and badass. reminds me of childhood fining maiden motorhead and all the other bands in my record collection
Iron Maiden live is an amazing experience, it's incredible! What a talented group of musicians, I'm so thankful I've been able to see them many times and even shared it with my children.
Bruce is an accomplished fencer. His stance has a lot of similarities to a fencer´s guard!
Is there anything Bruce can't do?
@@leftcoaster67 stop.
Did he compete in the olympics? I know he was pretty high level.
He where close to the Olympic team but did not make it- I can't remember the details it been a while since I read the autobiography
@@HenkeEdge He was ranked 7th in the UK, so he would have been just outside of Olympic participation...still bloody impressive :)
30 shows in for me & when the Doctor Doctor tape starts up I am like a little kid on Xmas morning. Every. Single. Time. 🤘
Same here, sir.,Same here.
agreed! Feel like crying when i hear that
@@IwieIch123 Crying is when they play Always look on the bright side of life. It's like an instant withdrawal and you're just like.. "It's.. over?".
I think that's the advantage of using the same intro for like forever. Same with Metallica and the Ecstasy of Gold. Like Pavlov's dog it conditions you with anticipation that shit's gonna hit the fan and its gonna hit the fan soon.
Your reaction and immersion in Bruce's signing gave me goosebumps! I finally had a chance to see them live this past fall and it is such an intense and theatrical experience. They are soooo great live!
I've been a fan of theirs since 1986, so it was good to see you so immersed & excited about my favourite maiden track, especially the resurgence at the end
Rats I was hoping for “Paschendale” from the Death on the Road tour.
That would be awesome, the poem at the start adds so much.
YAS, i hope she'll check it some time too
That would be amazing choice. The way that music conveys the sounds of the war (Morse code, artillery blasts...) and the lyrics themsleves.
That is a Epic song
@@davidward2651 "Anthem for Doomed Youth," by Wilfred Owen.
He was in the Manchester Regiment & was killed exactly one week before WWI ended.
Telling you, being in the crowd singing along to the intro guitar part is so iconic and atmospheric and chilling and haunting. It’s one of the best experiences of their liveshows
I get goosebumps every time that I hear the intro. Being a part of a 14.000 - 82.000 person crowd, all singing along, makes for an incredible experience...I have done it four times so far, and I would do it every weekend if I could :)
I'm not sure if American audiences sing along to this song like other places in the world.
@@ryangossett8211 Really? Why the hell not?
@@ryangossett8211 they’re just missing out on something really special then aren’t they
Another fantastic review...I love how involved you get...it's refreshing to see someone appreciate the music from a professional perspective....I am surprised that nobody has suggested the Aces High official video....or if they have, you should give it a listen....Bruce the Siren at his very best...thank you...Up the Irons 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This guys ARE MUSIC,no metal nonsense label...just music gods.Bruce has a coached voice and that's why he has so much knowledge of mouth opening,vocal chords preparation and proper singing technique.AWESOME
I have to say that Fear of the Dark from Rock in Rio is by far the best performance on video. Crowd participation, Bruce’s vocals, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith solos and the drumming of Nicko. Just an outstanding performance.
The Clansman is also great.
You know your band is great when your audience sings along to the guitar and the solos.
I love how you are appreciating the music I grew up with. My family never appreciated the production value and work that went into good metal music. I love that you do. Thank you.
I love the way how you obviously enjoy listening to the music and analysing it, your reactions are so pure and it's seen they come strictly from your heart.
My recommendation for you is Journey - Don't stop believing, hope to see it on your channel soon!
Greetings from Poland, keep on rocking 🤟
On audience engagement years ago Bruce said Ian Gillan of Deep Purple told him you engage with one and the whole audience wonders if they will be next. Get one and you got them all. The whole band seems to have taken this approach as well.
Oh i don't know that and i am huge fan of Deep Purple, that's nice!
So is Bruce
Hopefully you can contact Bruce or Iron Maiden's management to interview Bruce. That would be out of this world completely. Also, you and yer husband will have to see Maiden live soon. The atmosphere is second to none. It will bring you to tears. 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
One of my favorite songs to play on guitar! So theatrical, Iron Maiden has been one of my favorite bands since I was 15. I'm so happy to watch and analyze vocals and sounds. I'm learning so much Elizabeth. Thank you for your work and time to make truly great videos that teach us, entertain us, and you are a very beautiful woman to watch smile and react to our favorite music. All my respects and light sent to you! ❤
All these guys are 55+ years old and still killing it every day.
Best live version is Rock in Rio 2001. I really don‘t know why the other versions are so high in demand.
Exactly! That version is a classic, we always play that one on parties.
I saw a Bruce interview few years ago. The reporter ask about his movements, his theatricality and voice projection. He answered that he wants that the guy screaming and jumping in the last row of the hall, to have the same experience of the guy in the first row.
Good analysis, as always ☺
Edit: one step closer for you to release a Heavy Metal album 😄
Love your reactions . So insightful and interesting . And fun.
Love your channel, I just discovered it recently. I have been a Maiden fan for the last 38 years and it will be one of the most energetic & charged concerts you'll ever see. When Bruce joined Iron Maiden in 1982 he was known as Bruce "The Air Raid Siren" Dickinson. One of the best if not the best metal front men in history and a world class fencer and commercial pilot as well!
BTW I love your facial expressions while listening to the tracks !!!😀
Fear of the Dark is like Holy Diver, most famous song but not the best. If you want appreciate Bruce not only in vocals but in composition, Revelations (was the first song written for Iron Maiden), it is a masterpiece and of course have a fantastic performance by Bruce.
Revelations is one of my favorite Maiden songs and has one of Bruce's most emotionally charged vocals. I also think "Powerslave" is a great vocal performance. Very theatrical and menacing.
To Tame A Land is hugely underrated too
Run to the hills is a more popular song then this.
@@Walamonga1313 greed. One of Maiden's lesser-known epics.
@@sugarbear1976x Run to the Hills is a recognized metal classic. It's kind of Maiden's "Freebird". Fear of the Dark is a live favorite, but not as revered as Run to the Hills.
"Bruce Dickinson, The Ultimate Cheerleader" - Charismatic Voice, The. - 2021
Bruces vocals are really great in Caught Somewhere in Time and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
