I got pulled over for speeding. I was listening to the 2nd half of this song. I hold Bruce, Steve, Adrian and Niko personally responsible, I'm still waiting for them to pay me back for the ticket.
Yea man he did, i sees maiden 9 times live, and i plan to go to download next year, they are headliners... This one is like you say probably one of the greatest metal tune of all time, just i like when they play live on death on the road toure in Dortmund, or Flight 666, is amazing how they play this song on those 2 concerts and unforgettable Rock In Rio 2001 💪 💪 💪 🤘.... Peace man ✌️ ✌️
James Shaffer I was introduced to them from one of their later albums “a matter of life and death” and the track “for the greater good of god” and “these colours don’t run” I immediately bought their greatest hits double album. It was an insane summer. I ended up buying all of their discs.
The lyrics to this get me every time. Never mind the awesome music. “Take a look through the bars of the last sights, of a world that has gone very wrong for me.” Steve Harris....lyric writing genius.
@@thomaswolf6474 we play, i mean my band, ok i don't know how many expirience you have but i play drums for almost 25 years, and guitars play for a long time, one of play 20 years, another guitarists play 17,and bass player, play bass for 21 years, so we play, fear of the dark, aces high, 2 minutes to midnight, the trooper, flash of the Blade, the Wickerman, children of the damed, powerslave and wrathchild from Maiden.... Peace ✌️ ✌️
You can't compare opera singers to pop/rock singers. Opera singers train hard to develop the range they're most comfortable with to perfection - something normal singers will not do, at least not to that degree. Opera voices need to be incredibly consistent in resonance to be heard over an orchestra without a microphone. The richness of your vocal comfort zone simply cannot be matched by seeking the absolute limits of your range. Not saying Bruce is bad or something. Really looking forward to see him performing again this year. Twice. Is going to be amazing.
You certainly can compare pop/rock singers to opera singers. He just did. And I’ll go one further, man o’ war can compete with most opera performances I’ve ever seen. In fact they did a cover of Nessus Dorma that you could expect to see in the met. The difference between pop/rock singers/bands and opera singers? Pop/rock singers can also sing other genres of music. Opera singers are so specialized that it is difficult, if not impossible, for them to branch out.
@@savage12k And it's exactly that ultra specialization that makes it incredibly difficult to compare opera singers to pop/rock singers, because crossovers are incredibly hard _for both._ Manowar's Nessun Dorma? Compared to actual opera singers, I think that performance is all over the place. Let him do that in an opera house and I bet he won't make it. The consistency in his voice is just not there.
As you say. All I know is I've heard classical music student and instructor say the exact opposite. I've no idea what your occupation is, but I'll trust them.
They were the Pioneers of the NWOBHM(New Wave Of British Heavy Metal). They formed in the mid 70's and made their Album Debut in 1980 with Iron Maiden(self titled) with a different singer who was also great at the time Paul Dianno. He did 2 albums with Maiden then Bruce took over. That's the guy you saw in the video. Maiden is an amazing and legendary band spanning over 4 decades. The trooper would be a good song to branch off to.
Michael Werbick dio is just an absolute legend. You ask anyone who knows metal they will say dio is the absolute best. For me it goes dio bruce david draiman and geoff tate
@@MaNtIcHoRaOfficial Believe it or not this was my order of singers because of how they sing, range...everything; Geoff Tate, Paul Stanley and Don Dokken. It might seem ludicrous but it's the history of the singers that i chose. But i will never say anything bad about Dio, even if he was still with us today. Only one word for me can define Dio: LEGEND.
@Thora Friganza well this isn't about who is better. It's about iron Maiden. No one can ever take away any of the contributions that Dio made for music. But we're not here to forget about Dio but to praise a fellow metal band.
Apart from the beautiful compositions, melodies and sound, I have always been astounded how high and at the same time deep Dickinson's voice is. A rear bird...
Dude, thank you for requesting Maiden. This song was phenomenal and the lead singers voice is amazing. BUT!!!!!! That bass player....... that bass player put so much rhythm in this track I'm excited to hear more from their catalog!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT yes man thats Steve Harris, he made this band, lead singer Bruce Dickinson is so so so incredibly talented vocalist, like he is the best just like that and best frontman ever, you must to see maide from those days, for example Rime Of the Acient Mariner flight 666,so epic performance and theatrical stage an everything... And you should chek out Alexander The Great from somewhere in time album.... Peace and Love ✌️ ✌️ I'm new to this chanel and fam, and i already like it 😊😁 you definitely need more iron maiden and don't forget, live lol, peace out ✌️
My band played this song at my High School talent show in 1985. All the harmony guitar parts blew people away. We won first place. When we finished playing people rushed the stage and picked me up over their heads and carried me around the auditorium. It was a great experience.
Maiden is the shit. Took me forever to get into this style of singing in metal, but Bruce was the guy that did it for me. Can't wait for you to hear stuff from their 1986 and 1988 albums "Somewhere In Time" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son".
Don't you just love the smile on people's faces when they discover Iron Maiden, you couldn't have picked a better song to start off with, enjoy the ride, welcome to the club. Up the Irons.
My band played this at my 11th grade talent show back in 1983. We blew the place away. At the end, a bunch of people from the audience rushed the stage, picked me up over their heads, and ran me around the auditorium. We one 1st place. This song choice was a huge winner with all the harmony guitar parts and the complexity of it all. Especially when the other guys were playing easy stuff like Paranoid from Sabbath and stuff like that. I still play guitar at 53. Never stopped. 44 years of it.
They are one of the very best live in concert and they're still going stronger than ever and I hope you get a chance to check out powerslave live you will have a great time with that one as well as the rest of them thanks for the time to do this for us and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and thanks again 👍🎸🎵🎼🔔🤘
And they call Bruce Dickinson 'the air raid siren'. You've made a great choice. I like the 80's metal era more than I thought I would tbh. Queensryche, rainbow, dio and all that.
Hell yeah Rainbow is amazing. Stargazer is awesome. I recommend Long Live Rock N Roll to newer listeners and Temple of the King for 2nd as a slower and lighter alternative. Don't forget Gates of Babylon.
This tune is from "The Number of the Beast" , Maidens 3rd album and the first album with vocalist Bruce Dickinson. Maiden had a different vocalist on their first 2 albums in Paul Di'Anno who is not a bad singer. Bruce however takes singing to a whole different level. Congrats on discovering Iron Maiden, you're in for one hell of a ride. "Up the Irons!"
'Run to the Hills' got me interested in Maiden, 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' made me a fan. I love the way they incorporate so much variety in their music, how the songs are melodic in a genre that isn't too well known for it, how the lyrics are so well put together, and yet can tell an original story ('Dance of Death', 'Number of the Best'), adapt an old one ('Phantom of the Opera', 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'), or even be educational ('Alexander the Great', 'Paschendale', 'Empire of the Clouds'). I find it difficult to recommend any particular song over others as you'd really need to listen to their entire catalogue, but I really like 'Empire of the Clouds, 'Phantom of the Opera', 'Trooper', 'Remember Tomorrow', 'Can I play with Madness', 'Journeyman', 'Dance of Death', and yes, even some of the Blaze Bayley era such as '2 A.M.', and 'The Edge of Darkness'. Really, 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' is an amazing song, but there's so much that is just as good, if not better.
Edge of Darkness is an incredible song. Blaze's deeper voice fit the darker theme of the X Factor perfectly, in a such a way I'm not sure that Bruce would've pulled off.
This is how Maiden made themselves, they were and are road warriors. They get no radio airplay and yet they are one of the biggest bands in the world because of their live performance and word of mouth. There is no greater experience than seeing this band live. Up he Irons!
You started your Iron Maiden trip with the greatest version of the greatest metal song by the greatest metal band of all time. Welcome to the family my friend, welcome to the family. ❤
This is one of my all time favorite songs from one of my favorite bands, and I loved watching your reaction and appreciation for the performance. I've heard this song hundreds of times and never gets old.
I always love when reactors first start their Iron Maiden journey... Up The Irons!! You mentioned you like the rhythm in this song... its the power of steve harris!! Hes the bass player and kind of leader in the song writing department. Id recommend checking out Wasted Years, Sea Of Madness, Brave New World.... Honestly theres a lot of really great material, the first seven albums are all straight fire. Pretty much any requested song in the comments is going to be worth your time.
Duuuude jam brother!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽 Love to see new ppl react to metal songs that we’ve been listening to last 35-40yrs. Makes me so privileged to be an metalhead!!!! HEADBANG ON!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Stranger in a Strange Land. Use that song title when you first listen to Iron Maiden as it could definitely be ironic......listening to Maiden's music for the first time is kind of like being a stranger in a strange land. LOL.
Maiden.....ahhh such a long and storied history of a great band. In 1985 I was in my junior year of high school, long hair mullet...lol and an Iron Maiden fan of epic proportions. I was the Iron Maiden encyclopedia at my high school big thanks to reading a biography about them called "Running Free" along with any other publication about them. My very first concert I ever went to was Maiden on their World Slavery tour on May 31, 1985.
Man, you couldn't have picked a better song to do this with. Iron maiden have been my favourite band since I was about 7. I hope you get to see them in concert some day!
Don't be afraid of their live videos. Have been to countless concerts and they never disappoint. We have been taking our son to their shows since he was six-years-old. Always a great family time. They are very theatrical and it is always fun to see to Ed will be dressed up as.
My older co-worker went to a KISS concert many years ago and these guys where a warm up band for them, and after it was all done...They wanted more Iron maiden instead of KISS. Enough said
Welcome to the party. You've finally heard a song from the best band in this world. That was not even the tip of the iceberg. Maiden has virtually no bad songs. Only songs that are even better than the others. Nice reaction.
We still wear studs, leather jackets and spikes to shows. Some wear it in their daily wardrobe, as well. I don't wear them, simply because I'm lazy and don't feel like getting "dressed up" for a show. Glad you liked this song. One of my favorites!
This my favourite song. Recently upgraded my whole audio system and got this album on vinyl again after throwing it out about 20 years ago when I got CDs. It is a great listening experience
1 of my top 3 Maiden songs! /m\ It's so funny because the guitarists are much more animated in more recent performances. Interesting to see them just standing there playing way back when. MAD props to the drummer --- he never stopped! And Bruce... sick as always.
After being a fan for 35 years, i FINALLY saw them in concert just about 2 months ago. It was like a religious experience. I openly wept several times. Bruce (the singer) is just as good today as he was back then. The "soul" of the band is definitely Bruce and Steve Harris (the bassist). Welcome to the universe of Iron Maiden \m/ \m/
Maiden, ehat else i can say, they are living legends with reason, and they still kicking stage with full stadions all around the world, just amazing band... I'm new to this chanel i said already on some comment, but lets say one more time 😁 and a i already like it, Peace ✌️ ✌️ shout out for new (for me) fam... 💪 💪 ✌️😊
Iron Maiden and Motorhead are two of the most popular bands to come out of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal era in the 1970s. Some would argue for Def Leppard but I don't consider them metal, more like AC/DC meets Van Halen, party rock. My dad was a big fan of TNWOBHM, I remember listening to bands like Grim Reaper, Saxon, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Raven as a kid. In 1983 one of the first albums I ever bought was Metallica's Kill 'Em All after my dad took me to see them open for Raven that summer, we drove from Vancouver, Canada to Portland, Oregon.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the music of one of the most influential bands of the metal culture. I’m a life long metal head and I can recommend so many great bands for you to listen to and review.
Very few singers outside of Opera can hold a note like Bruce Dickinson, and this song allows him to show it off. The man's a living legend. He even beat throat cancer. He's also a true renaissance man, he can do everything from fence (the sport) to fly a bloody 747.
I am brazilian and this year i realize my dream to see this guys alive and is contagious the energy they put in the stage. And the whole stadium singning along. Was the best thing that i feel in life! #UpTheIrons🤘🤘
They're known for Harmonizing together and breaks.. I learned to play drums to this 40 years ago,, He survived throat cancer and kicked it.. Dickinson is super Human.. The bass player Steve Harris is the best bassist in the world..
Maiden is easily one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time and you can't go wrong listening to just about anything done by them. My personal favorites are The Trooper, Run To The Hills and Wrathchild. Thanks for the video!!
Man, we were young once, and these guys ruled the day. This is sounds of my teens and early 20's- they were amazing beyond belief in concert. I got to see them once for this album and they totally rocked it. Steve Harris, the bassist, was the best bass player in music. A lot of times the bass is kind of hidden to focus on the guitars or the drummer or whatever strength a particular band might have had, but you can actually hear the bass in their songs and rightly so. Fantastic choice for your first exposure to Maiden!
Fast forward about 35 years, you should react to Talisman from the En Vivo live album. You can see how their new material is still awesome and musically still at the top of their game!
These guys have played together (cli ve Burr in video)for decades, practiced 10000s of hours, toured the planet, master of their crafts... Bruce is still the quintessential vocalist... Best band in the world!
You managed to start with one of the greatest metal tunes of all time. Welcome to the world of Maiden.... UP THE IRONS!!!
I got pulled over for speeding. I was listening to the 2nd half of this song. I hold Bruce, Steve, Adrian and Niko personally responsible, I'm still waiting for them to pay me back for the ticket.

I've been following Maiden for close to 40 years and I still get goosebumps and the hairs on my neck stand up, long live Maiden.
When you see them live it's a spiritual awakening.
100%
You aren’t wrong
Yep
I'm going to see them in October and really looking forward to it.
@@collinnicholasns going to see them for the first time in a week. Cant wait
You've only "just begun" a journey you cannot fully understand.....
Damned straight! Bump to you Shawn Chamberlain!!!
It makes me so happy to see people discover Maiden for the first time, after all these decades. 😁
exactly,,,, long live Rock
any journey can not be fully understood when first embarked upon, thats the exact point of beginning a journey...hence, "The Pilgrim"
Shawn Chamberlain indeed
I actually saw Iron Maiden as a support act to Kiss in 1980...yeah, I'm old :)
Kiss realized that many fans came to see Maiden and they actually let them finish the show on some shows
Saw them in 85
Schelin I saw them supporting Judas Priest in the early 80’ as well.....it’s great to be old
you and me both brother
Saw them in 83 and 84 on the Piece of Mind and Powerslave tours.

Aces High, The Trooper, Run to the Hills are some popular shorter songs. Rime of the Ancient Mariner (studio) is an epic longer song that is great

Iron Maiden formed in 1975, the year I was born. I'm coming to them only very recently. Great musicianship.
And that was live! That's why I loved this band in the 80's.

Really, 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' is an amazing song, but there's so much that is just as good, if not better.
Edge of Darkness is an incredible song. Blaze's deeper voice fit the darker theme of the X Factor perfectly, in a such a way I'm not sure that Bruce would've pulled off.
Something epic isn't about to happen... it already did as soon as you hit play.
Finally got around to Maiden! YES!! Check out 2 minutes to midnight or aces high!! Great Jams!!!
Remember when rock and metal bands did guitar solos. Iron Maiden does.
Remember the days when singers used to actually sing on their own? And be able to sing?
Saw them again last summer. They’re in their 60s, and still sound like this.
Iron Maiden. Rarely equaled, never surpassed!
Up the Irons.
Iron Maiden can just keep going on and on... It's like I'm feeling "why's the song ended, nooo!" (Gotta listen to it again!!)

Welcome to the family, glad to have ya. Get comfy, it's pretty much all good.
"leather jackets and spiked arm bands... no one does that anymore" yes they do my bro. check out black metal
My older co-worker went to a KISS concert many years ago and these guys where a warm up band for them, and after it was all done...They wanted more Iron maiden instead of KISS.
Enough said
damn
Iron Maiden is a better band. Hands down. Full stop.
@@savage12k Word better musicians
Haha the 80's was great!! I miss it :) Nice reaction bro..
I loved everything about this. Vocals , Drums and especially that guitar. This is a Home run everyday
Best live band I've ever seen!
Welcome to the party. You've finally heard a song from the best band in this world. That was not even the tip of the iceberg. Maiden has virtually no bad songs. Only songs that are even better than the others. Nice reaction.
We still wear studs, leather jackets and spikes to shows. Some wear it in their daily wardrobe, as well. I don't wear them, simply because I'm lazy and don't feel like getting "dressed up" for a show. Glad you liked this song. One of my favorites!
Something epic is about to happen yet no word about bruce holding that note for 13 seconds
No one knows about Bruce's note for 13 seconds .....MAIDEN fans knows!!!
This my favourite song. Recently upgraded my whole audio system and got this album on vinyl again after throwing it out about 20 years ago when I got CDs. It is a great listening experience
First time I heard this tune was on Vinyl, my dad had a crazy powerful McIntosh Audio rack system and it was AWAKENING
1 of my top 3 Maiden songs! /m\ It's so funny because the guitarists are much more animated in more recent performances. Interesting to see them just standing there playing way back when. MAD props to the drummer --- he never stopped! And Bruce... sick as always.
All the live performances from Flight 666 or Rock in Rio are awesome
And yeah you're right at the end of your video. Iron Maiden was the pioneer of power metal.
Seriously?????? Bruh, for real!!!! That’s wild!
After being a fan for 35 years, i FINALLY saw them in concert just about 2 months ago. It was like a religious experience. I openly wept several times. Bruce (the singer) is just as good today as he was back then. The "soul" of the band is definitely Bruce and Steve Harris (the bassist). Welcome to the universe of Iron Maiden \m/ \m/
Hands down, the best metal band ever!!!
Bruce Dickinson = jet-flying, swashbuckling, sword-wielding badass. Half Wagnerian opera, half panzer assault.
Maiden, ehat else i can say, they are living legends with reason, and they still kicking stage with full stadions all around the world, just amazing band... I'm new to this chanel i said already on some comment, but lets say one more time 😁 and a i already like it, Peace ✌️ ✌️ shout out for new (for me) fam... 💪 💪 ✌️😊
Back in 1985 I was 5yo and herd the number of the beast for the first time. Changed my life for better
Always love to see new Maiden listeners. Glad you liked it
This is called the best heavy metal song for a reason y'know ;)
Iron Maiden and Motorhead are two of the most popular bands to come out of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal era in the 1970s. Some would argue for Def Leppard but I don't consider them metal, more like AC/DC meets Van Halen, party rock.
My dad was a big fan of TNWOBHM, I remember listening to bands like Grim Reaper, Saxon, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Raven as a kid. In 1983 one of the first albums I ever bought was Metallica's Kill 'Em All after my dad took me to see them open for Raven that summer, we drove from Vancouver, Canada to Portland, Oregon.
“I love the feeling of this!!” My friend you just nailed the whole Metal thing.
Iron Maiden all the way "till I die.UP THE IRONS!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the music of one of the most influential bands of the metal culture. I’m a life long metal head and I can recommend so many great bands for you to listen to and review.
Very few singers outside of Opera can hold a note like Bruce Dickinson, and this song allows him to show it off. The man's a living legend. He even beat throat cancer. He's also a true renaissance man, he can do everything from fence (the sport) to fly a bloody 747.
Wow! Sounds like this dude is incredibly talented. Glad I decided to give them a listen
@@TheAdventuresofTNT He sure is! And now that you've popped your Iron Maiden cherry, I can finally subscribe! Click.
I am brazilian and this year i realize my dream to see this guys alive and is contagious the energy they put in the stage. And the whole stadium singning along. Was the best thing that i feel in life! #UpTheIrons🤘🤘
After you hear this for the first time, you'll never forget it for the rest of your life
Iron Maiden - The Talisman (Live En Vivo)
Amazing song.
They're known for Harmonizing together and breaks.. I learned to play drums to this 40 years ago,, He survived throat cancer and kicked it.. Dickinson is super Human.. The bass player Steve Harris is the best bassist in the world..
I'm an iron maiden fan since 1982. And I react then the same way you did today.
That smile as the song is ending says it all.
Well done sir.
You need to check out the documentary ‘ Iron Maiden Flight 666’ it’s mind blowing
Agreed!!! 💪
Maiden is easily one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time and you can't go wrong listening to just about anything done by them. My personal favorites are The Trooper, Run To The Hills and Wrathchild. Thanks for the video!!
man, I have watched this vid because I saw another maiden reaction vid of yours and was impressed. I'm having a beer with you.
A great story being told in this song
Man, we were young once, and these guys ruled the day. This is sounds of my teens and early 20's- they were amazing beyond belief in concert. I got to see them once for this album and they totally rocked it. Steve Harris, the bassist, was the best bass player in music. A lot of times the bass is kind of hidden to focus on the guitars or the drummer or whatever strength a particular band might have had, but you can actually hear the bass in their songs and rightly so. Fantastic choice for your first exposure to Maiden!
Fast forward about 35 years, you should react to Talisman from the En Vivo live album. You can see how their new material is still awesome and musically still at the top of their game!
Rime of the Ancient Mariner from Flight 666 is a must watch
The GREAT Bruce Dickinson...singing is just ONE of his excellent accomplishments!
this song was voted the most influential metal song of all time. good start.
This song is gorgeous!To Maiden my love and gratitude 💕🤘
These guys have played together (cli ve Burr in video)for decades, practiced 10000s of hours, toured the planet, master of their crafts... Bruce is still the quintessential vocalist... Best band in the world!
This is great.......Fan for 40 years of maiden
Dave Murray, people.
Slept on, but never disappointing.
Dont you love how Maidens baseline drives the groove!
Ive seen them live numerous times recently and despite there age damn they can still play today
