Bruce is a legit renaissance man: lead singer, pilot, author, entrepreneur, and Olympic level fencer. And he kicked throat cancers ass and is back to performing. Dude is an inspiration and someone to aspire to be like. Since you haven’t heard them before, Number of the Beast and Run to the Hills are probably their most overall popular songs, but Fear of the Dark is my personal favorite.
It was tongue cancer (throat cancer surgery might really have crimped Bruce's style), but same difference. He whacked it into the long grass. I'm pleased to say that Hallowed Be Thy Name is my favourite, with Rime of The Ancient Mariner and Powerslave silver and bronze medals respectively.
@Noah Sikorski, I respect how you feel. That song has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I'm 50 and have listened to them for a long time, so for me, it doesn't get old. Just I get old...er. I will say, no matter what song someone does or doesn't like from Iron Maiden, Bruce can sang.
The sands of time for me are running loooooooooooooooooo...oooooooooooooooooooooo...ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....running looooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHWWWWWWW YEAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I still remember the first time listening to this album when it came out, i was around 10 years old. At my neighbor's, watching this album spinning on his record player. Looking at the album cover as it spun. I though should i be listening to this? I was 9 at a catholic school. Its still got it, my god....
She was your 'Math' teacher? Bruce's 'Aunt' - or Auntie would be English - but yet ,your spelling of 'Aunt'- rather than the British 'Auntie' coupled with your spelling of 'Math' rather than the British spelling 'Maths' would suggest that you're American - and that you've just created a fantasy back story.
@@tenchmagic i saw him only one time in the first iron maiden world tour in cascais - portugal in the old pavillion of the dramatico club who was demolished years later at the time the band was Paul di anno , dennis stratton ,steve harris , dave murray and clive burr.. the second time they played here was in 1984 and only steve and dave remains on the band , 3 new faces bruce dickinson , adrian Smith and nicko mcbrain . In the total they played 18 times in portugal and im seen 15 maiden concerts .in 1980 i was seventeen .greetings from Portugal.
@@tenchmagic You lucky bugger!I only got into Maiden from about 1983 and although I'm a massive Bruce Dickinson fan I'd love to have seen them with Paul and Clive.They had such a raw,edgy feel on those first two albums.
@@folkme3042 they were a great band starting out. Dianno was pretty raw compared to Bruce. But he had a great connection to the crowd. They all did to be fair. Dave Murray would always look for a familiar face , and give you a hello mate 😊 Great times. Dennis Stratton was a great player too , before Adrian. Saw loads of the New Wave bands back then. Diamond Head should have been as big as Maiden. Just unlucky. All the best bud 👍👍
Got to see the great Clive Burr twice. I have a white drum kit because of him. (its the one in the little circle to the left) He brought a more straight rock punkish groove. I have watched Nikko more than a few times and is he a "better" drummer...eh, just different. The loss of Clive changed Iron Maiden. For good or bad is your own call. But just listen to Killers and Number of the Beast first before you decide. God Rest His Soul... UP THE IRONS!!!
Guys, not judging you at all, but you CAN'T continue your life without listening to A LOT more Iron Maiden. Not only as musicians yourselves, but also as human beings :D
Almost every metal band was influenced by Iron Maiden. Back then, radio play was critical to any band's success, but as a heavy metal band, they received very little radio play, yet were so successful, they were instrumental in the Grammy awards adding a "hard rock/heavy metal" category. Bands like Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Iron Maiden laid the foundation for every metal band after them.
Black Sabbath was releasing albums 10 years before Iron Maiden dude! Black Sabbath-Led Zeppelin-Deep Purple set the foundations in early 70s along with some other bands in mid 70s, like Scorpions and Judas Priest. 80s bands just stepped up and established the heavy metal sound we know now
One of the greatest and most successful metal groups of all time, STILL performing as well. They have many, many, many songs that are absolute MUST HEARS
R.I.P. Clive Burr. Beast of a drummer and gone way too soon. The singer, Bruce, has always been super-theatrical (sometimes people poke fun at him) but he's said that he wants everyone, including the people in the back or up in the balconies, to get the full treatment. I'm not sure any band loves their fans more than Maiden.. and vice versa. Cheers.
Can't believe you've never heard Maiden! At least you've fixed that now :) They are the definition of Legends, started in the mid 70s in the UK when punk was the only music to play and stuck to their guns and helped shape the music genre we all love today. Now they are all in their 60s and still touring, amazing to think Iron Maiden have had quite a few personnel changes but kept the same line up for 20 years now, that's longer than most bands have been around! Maiden and Sabbath created Metal as we know it today. Oh and Steve Harris (bass, lead songwriter and founder) thinks Tuomas from Nightwish is the greatest composer alive today and said that Nightwish are one of the few bands around that have the potential to become the next Maiden. If Nightwish keep at it for as long as Maiden, maybe they will.
Literally any song from the first 5 albums..... not a bad song among them..... Be prepared for a history lesson with iron maiden..... Run to the hills - us cavalry vs. Indians Aces high - British pilots ww2 The prisoner - based on the tv show 22 acacia avenue - about a whorehouse The number of the beast - 666 Ryme of the ancient mariner- adaptation of a poem 2minutes to midnight - nuclear war The trooper - charge of the light brigade poem They go on and on.....
Iron Maiden is truly one of a kind. We’ll never see their like again. They still tour, you owe it to yourself, hell you owe it to your kids, go see them!
Shocked you guys haven't hear Iron Maiden !!!! They were my favourite live band prior to discovering Nightwish. Both are exceptional live experiences. Enjoy. Oh by the way. Lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a qualified airline pilot and on recent world tours has flown the band around on their own chatered jet. Last time a 747 Jumbo.
As well as graduating university with a degree in history, Bruce Dickinson was awarded an honorary doctorate of music by London's Queen Mary College in 2011. He have several times been on History Channel as a Host on WW2 (I do believe mainly on tanks). Fun fact he is also a Fencer and have a Company that sells fencing equipment. And most importantly he have beaten Cancer.

I can't emphasize enough how much joy I receive by watching younger generations react when watching some of the best, iconic, pure and intricate metal ever created. Absolute perfection in not only one of the most iconic and unique voices of all time, but also some of the most brilliant metal musicians ever assembled. It truly never gets old.
Bruce is awe inspiring. He is lead singer for one of the most influential bands in the world. Pilot. Author. Olympic class swordsman. I'm sure there's more. You must educate yourselves immediately. As performance musicians, the band are the foundation of Metal and hard rock. If you want to call yourselves a band, knowledge of their work is necessary! Oh, Bruce got tongue cancer a few years ago. It could have been the end. But he got some expert medical care, and was treated by a master radiation technician. The cancer was removed WITH OUT damaging Bruce's vocal chords. And back on tour he went!
They are still touring!!! I saw them just a couple years ago and they are amazing live! You have to check out more from them. Truly one of the pioneers for metal!!
You have just witnessed the best metal band there ever has been or ever will be. All done with minimal press & radio exposure or selling out, all done by hard work touring, album, touring, album, touring, album etc for over 40 years of being a signed band.
There are some that come close, such as Unleash the Archers. I swear, Brittney Slayes is his daughter in another life, and he taught her to sing all of Maiden's songs.
iron maiden are gods, if you wanna know about learning, maiden and acdc, you cant get better or higher and they can teach you everything you wanna know about putting on a show ;) i have seen a lot of bands, but them 2, noone can compare
Please do more of Iron Maiden! They have beautiful music and amazing storytelling. Plus they are a great very talented and funny bunch of people. I started listening to them when I was like 8 or 9 and never looked back. It's been a few decades now. They are great live. Them and Nightwish of course. From the bands that are way better live. Throwing amazing shows still today in their 60s. Bruce, oh well Bruce, he has breath for days 😂😂😂
Man so happy to have been a part of it all. Graduated in 1985 and the music change from the 70’s to the 80’s was truly something unreal. So many genres coming out with exceptional music.
The best live version (so far) of the greatest metal song of all time. Twin Ibanez Destroyers, Clive Burr pounding seven bells out of the drums, Air Raid Siren Bruce on screaming vocals, and 'Arry rocking the shit out of his Fender Precision. What's not to like?
I think Fear of the Dark (live in Rio) is a good option to see why they are considered Music Legends, fans of all ages going crazy with them, all members of Maiden are now in the 60`s, and the energy is still the same, and like in 1984 when i saw them live first time, the fans can sing all the songs word by word, Maiden is just AMAZING GOOD.
Iron Maiden - Simply the greatest of all time. Welcome to the rabbit hole. Once you start...🤘🔥😉 Try Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Alexander the Great, The Trooper, or Aces High for starters, preferably starting with the studio versions first.
You NEED to see the flight 666 documentary. They have 3 main guitarists, a bassist, a singer and their current drummer is recognized as one of the top 10 metal drummers. His kit on the flight 666 tour is massive! 9 toms, 10 cymbals, a single pedal bass drum, a snare and a gong. The crowd feedback on every song is unfathomable.
First saw Iron Maiden live in 1984 when I was 14 years old and rocking out squished against the barricade up front... saw them for the 5th time a year ago almost to the day. Crazy amazing live band even now - they've always gone and gave their fans 110% every show. My 3 favorite bands are Iron Maiden, Rush and Nightwish.... I think I can hang around on this chanel and watch you guys discover all the great music I that has formed my youth and become such a soundtrack to my life. Hard to think that there are people out there that are not familiar with these 3 amazing bands and the impressive musical talent all of them have. Keep up the Rush and Maiden reactions - Up the Irons metal brothers and sisters! \m/ \m/
The 80's were an awesome time to be a teenager. Going through musical discovery with epics like this coming at you on a regular basis was so good. So many of these bands still touring just shows the passion and longevity of this music.
The thing is Heavy Metal Bands from the 80's (Metallica, Maiden etc.) they had to put on a great live show, if not they woundn't exit Radio woundn't play thim, so exposure had to go as a Word of Mouth...And that is something you can really feel when you have see Metal Bands compared to other genres. Also in my personal opinion is that its live you see how good a Band is, without all the "stuido magic" .
greetings from germany and thanx for MAIDEN...i am a maidenmaniac for now 35 years....love your nightwish reactions and now finaly maiden. love your passion for music and both of you....my lovelylady a bit more....dont mind......try "Fear of the dark" live rock in rio 2001.......thanx and stay safe
Im 51 so iron maiden was my band in my youth. Happy to say im still in to metal. Im open to any good music and in the last year i have really got in to babymetal. There is no age limit to liking great music so keep on rocking. It sitill amazes me how talented all these metal bands are. You gotta be the best to play this sort if music
I saw Iron Maiden live during the 1983 Piece of Mind tour and the 1985 Powerslave tour. There are no words to describe the energy they had on stage and the pure raw talent they put forth. As a bassist myself I was always enamored with Steve Harris's bass playing, he is so so excellent. The whole band and their music is timeless.
amazed you have never listened to Iron Maiden. My favorite band . So much so i have 2 maiden tattoos. If you like his vocals check out "Rime of the ancient mariner" Live after death concert. 13 minute epic song based off a poem of the same name. Btw i watch all of your Nightwish reactions. My 2nd favorite band.
Whether or not someone knows iron maiden, there's always a great chance they'll recognize the dueling guitars in "The Trooper". Iconic is putting it lightly
i always think that bruce dickinson have world best heavy metal singing voice( now a days coz he getting old i think marco with nightwish have the best voice). bruce can fly anything plane in this world,so one time they rent biggest plane and iron maiden fly every where they tour in world with bruce captain of course, maybe that´s one reason they have so large fan groups all over the world. i see 5 times live and have to say that amazing live band. ok thanx and hopefully can see more iron maiden here. have great day there.
great video, Iron Maiden is undoubtedly the greatest Heavy Metal band of all time, it has a very large list of songs for you to react to, looking forward to the next Iron Maiden song on your channel. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
From the "Beast on the Road" tour. It was an amazing show. I saw it in Melbourne, Australia, third row from the front. Blew me away then, still love it now.
My first Iron Maiden contact was when they opened for Kiss, i was sold on the spot. Fronted with lead singer Paul Di'Anno, who had/has a very distinctive voice and it took some time to warm up to Bruce's vocals. Best song live has to be Fear of the dark (Rock in Rio) Fun fact: Iron Maiden has it's own plane Boeing 747, which is piloted by Bruce himself.
The best band of the world. Still. The stupid thing is that there are just too many really great songs by Maiden. You appreciate that and should definitely do more of it. I just find it so difficult to make a suggestion because there are too many good songs. ^^ "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" is an old but incredible song. The song that keeps giving me goosebumps even though I've heard it a thousand times is "The Sign Of The Cross". I could list so many songs but it doesn't matter. More from Maiden, please. :) Nice greetings from Germany.
You guys are such fun. 😂😂😂 This was such an epic performance as well. Still can’t believe you’ve not listened to them so far. There’s a massive back catalogue to enjoy.
You wonder if Axl Rose was influenced by this guy. The answer is probably yes. Honestly most Rock/ Metal singers worth their salt were influenced by this guy. Bruce Dickinson is a beast until today, even after throat cancer.
Iron Maiden is one of the best live bands of all time. To get a feel of how epic they are live, you need to react to Fear of the Dark, live at Rock in Rio in 2001.
How do you guys not know Maiden??!!!, You are in a rock band and don't know them?, Just messing with ya lol but it did surprise me you hadn't heard this before, I know almost all their tunes word for word. Either way great vid and cheers.
Oh Yeah Maiden!! for my 9th birthday, my uncle took me to my first metal concert.. it was Maiden and it was fucking awesome! 26years later still getting goosebumps every time i hear them. Damn.. lifetime love! Thx 4 doing this reaction. greetings from germany
@@TheWolfHunterZ Yeah, im so happy he did that :D One year bevor, my mother took me to a PUR concert, thats a german Pop Band. And when my uncle heard about that he said "oh my god, you cant do this to him" and got that concert tickets (thats at least the story i was told :D ) Hope you will do some more Maiden :)
Bruce is now 61 and I stated in another reaction video that he held the last note of this song for 23 seconds in their "Roc in Rio" concert. Talk about lung power!!!!
@@TheWolfHunterZ He learned in the church choir at the expensive private school his uncaring parents dumped him in. He also learnt Fencing. He was once Olympic standard. And he's a former commercial airline pilot. AND. he recovered from cancer on his tongue. You should read his autobiography, "What Does This Button Do?". It's all in there. 🤘
Always glad to see an unbelievably gorgeous girl jam to metal legends. My son his girlfriend and I drove 4 hours to Dallas to see maiden on their last tour in 2019 on a Saturday night what a way to spend a weekend. A show we will never forget. We are waiting for their next tour to go see them again.
Went to see them twice in their prime back in the 80's and Bruce Dickinson never stopped with that energy for the entire concert. 3 hours of just jumping all over the stage and singing like a rock god. Was just amazing to see. Very fond memories for sure.
Speaking of Iron Maiden, they were on their Legacy Of The Beast tour until Pandemic curbed the tour. Legacy is their 45th Anniversary, celebrating 45 years. That drummer, Clive Burr left the band in 1983, and their current drummer is Nicko McBrain. Now, Iron Maiden has 3 guitarists sharing leads: Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers plus Steve Harris, Bassist and founder of Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson has least 2 careers: you know as a singer, and he is a licensed airline pilot. During their long tours, they flies to different countries, IM has their own airline, either 747 or 757 Boeing. Plane is nicknamed, "Edd Force One" after their longtime mascot, "Eddie". Both of you will enjoyed all the songs by Iron Maiden.......Up with Irons!
Yes guys, this was my favorite band in the eighties. I went to their concert in 1984 in de Ijsselhallen Zwolle. Fantastis show and band. Still like your blue hair Suzi and Travis his slow motion laugh is also great.haha keep it up
Iron Maiden unmatched Greatness. One must grasp how massive that sound was at that time, it was unheard of. In my opinion the GREATEST METAL BAND of all time. They still are selling out huge venues around the world to this day nearly 45 years after they formed.
I was fortunate to have seen them in Long Beach California on the live after death tour. In the 80s and they are the best show I've ever seen. And I saw everyone that came through LA from 1979 through 1988.
His singing came from training in opera. for voice and breath control. He was taught to project his voice like he had no microphone and to make his voice bounce off the back wall of the room he was performing in.
IRON MAIDEN made possible what you guys do today. Bruce Dickenson was an opera singer, he also fences and pilots the band's airplane from show to show. UP THE IRONS
What !!!!!.. You need to react to more Iron Maiden then .. Judas Priest Painkiller , The Haunting by Kamelot W/Roy Khan and special guest Simone Simons of Epica ..
Iron Maiden has always been the total package. When you go to see Maiden, you get a real show. Even to this day, when they're all in their 60s, it's still the same.

Too hard to believe .. they lost me with these lies

Bruce Dickinson is not only one of the best metal singers but one of the best singers in all of Rock and Roll.
Bruce is a legit renaissance man: lead singer, pilot, author, entrepreneur, and Olympic level fencer. And he kicked throat cancers ass and is back to performing.

It would be epic!
Me too.
Ayreon - The Universal Migrator (parts 1 and 2). Bruce and Floor on the same album...not singing together. (yet)!!! can't get closer than that!!!!!
@@mandje2002 they *_are_* singing together on one song: "Into the Black Hole".
EDIT: My bad, that's Lana Lane. 😞
Bruce is awe inspiring. He is lead singer for one of the most influential bands in the world. Pilot. Author. Olympic class swordsman. I'm sure there's more. You must educate yourselves immediately. As performance musicians, the band are the foundation of Metal and hard rock. If you want to call yourselves a band, knowledge of their work is necessary!
Oh, Bruce got tongue cancer a few years ago. It could have been the end. But he got some expert medical care, and was treated by a master radiation technician. The cancer was removed WITH OUT damaging Bruce's vocal chords. And back on tour he went!
They are still touring!!! I saw them just a couple years ago and they are amazing live! You have to check out more from them. Truly one of the pioneers for metal!!
Still touring wow
45 years of existence and still touring and making records and conquering new territories 🤘🏻🤟🏻
@@TheWolfHunterZ Still one of the top touring bands on earth.
i have seen them 17 times, they never disappoint !
@Devang Deshpande Going again in october 22, #18
You have just witnessed the best metal band there ever has been or ever will be.
All done with minimal press & radio exposure or selling out, all done by hard work touring, album, touring, album, touring, album etc for over 40 years of being a signed band.
There are some that come close, such as Unleash the Archers.
I swear, Brittney Slayes is his daughter in another life, and he taught her to sing all of Maiden's songs.
iron maiden are gods, if you wanna know about learning, maiden and acdc, you cant get better or higher and they can teach you everything you wanna know about putting on a show ;) i have seen a lot of bands, but them 2, noone can compare
During acdc iron maiden or a few more im bassicly floating in the air the entire concert. Power!
Pantara could, almost, be put on
that list along with metalica. Powerful live...
Please do more of Iron Maiden! They have beautiful music and amazing storytelling. Plus they are a great very talented and funny bunch of people. I started listening to them when I was like 8 or 9 and never looked back. It's been a few decades now. They are great live. Them and Nightwish of course. From the bands that are way better live. Throwing amazing shows still today in their 60s. Bruce, oh well Bruce, he has breath for days 😂😂😂
Man so happy to have been a part of it all. Graduated in 1985 and the music change from the 70’s to the 80’s was truly something unreal. So many genres coming out with exceptional music.
The best live version (so far) of the greatest metal song of all time. Twin Ibanez Destroyers, Clive Burr pounding seven bells out of the drums, Air Raid Siren Bruce on screaming vocals, and 'Arry rocking the shit out of his Fender Precision. What's not to like?
I think Fear of the Dark (live in Rio) is a good option to see why they are considered Music Legends, fans of all ages going crazy with them, all members of Maiden are now in the 60`s, and the energy is still the same, and like in 1984 when i saw them live first time, the fans can sing all the songs word by word, Maiden is just AMAZING GOOD.
Iron Maiden - Simply the greatest of all time. Welcome to the rabbit hole. Once you start...🤘🔥😉 Try Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Alexander the Great, The Trooper, or Aces High for starters, preferably starting with the studio versions first.
You NEED to see the flight 666 documentary. They have 3 main guitarists, a bassist, a singer and their current drummer is recognized as one of the top 10 metal drummers. His kit on the flight 666 tour is massive! 9 toms, 10 cymbals, a single pedal bass drum, a snare and a gong. The crowd feedback on every song is unfathomable.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I have adored Iron Maiden since the 80's. I wore their first 6 albums out. Welcome to the club.
THE BEST HEAVY METAL SONG EVER WRITTEN! 🎶🤘
First saw Iron Maiden live in 1984 when I was 14 years old and rocking out squished against the barricade up front... saw them for the 5th time a year ago almost to the day. Crazy amazing live band even now - they've always gone and gave their fans 110% every show. My 3 favorite bands are Iron Maiden, Rush and Nightwish.... I think I can hang around on this chanel and watch you guys discover all the great music I that has formed my youth and become such a soundtrack to my life. Hard to think that there are people out there that are not familiar with these 3 amazing bands and the impressive musical talent all of them have. Keep up the Rush and Maiden reactions - Up the Irons metal brothers and sisters! \m/ \m/
The 80's were an awesome time to be a teenager. Going through musical discovery with epics like this coming at you on a regular basis was so good. So many of these bands still touring just shows the passion and longevity of this music.
The base guitar is so brutal it's almost like another set of drums take a bow Steve Harris
The thing is Heavy Metal Bands from the 80's (Metallica, Maiden etc.) they had to put on a great live show, if not they woundn't exit Radio woundn't play thim, so exposure had to go as a Word of Mouth...And that is something you can really feel when you have see Metal Bands compared to other genres.
Also in my personal opinion is that its live you see how good a Band is, without all the "stuido magic" .
Bruce Dickinson Iron Maiden and David Coverdale Whitesnake has the best rockvoices of all time. Greetings from Sweden.🇸🇪👍😎💕
greetings from germany and thanx for MAIDEN...i am a maidenmaniac for now 35 years....love your nightwish reactions and now finaly maiden. love your passion for music and both of you....my lovelylady a bit more....dont mind......try "Fear of the dark" live rock in rio 2001.......thanx and stay safe
Im 51 so iron maiden was my band in my youth. Happy to say im still in to metal. Im open to any good music and in the last year i have really got in to babymetal. There is no age limit to liking great music so keep on rocking. It sitill amazes me how talented all these metal bands are. You gotta be the best to play this sort if music
That bass guitar is the founding father of the band and one of the greatest players that ever walked among us
They are still around making new music 40 yrs later
I saw Iron Maiden live during the 1983 Piece of Mind tour and the 1985 Powerslave tour. There are no words to describe the energy they had on stage and the pure raw talent they put forth. As a bassist myself I was always enamored with Steve Harris's bass playing, he is so so excellent. The whole band and their music is timeless.
I saw em on th World Slavery Tour too,back in the days of picture discs! 🏴
amazed you have never listened to Iron Maiden. My favorite band . So much so i have 2 maiden tattoos. If you like his vocals check out "Rime of the ancient mariner" Live after death concert. 13 minute epic song based off a poem of the same name. Btw i watch all of your Nightwish reactions. My 2nd favorite band.
They have reacted to 2 other maiden songs , rime of the ancient mariner and hallowed be thy name
Whether or not someone knows iron maiden, there's always a great chance they'll recognize the dueling guitars in "The Trooper". Iconic is putting it lightly
My mom Saw Them live in 1983 in London she was 23 at the time one of the best live show she Saw rock on mom 🤟
Going to show my age, but I saw Iron Maiden in 1983 on the "Piece of Mind" tour, and in 1984 on the "Powerslave" tour. Both unforgettable shows.
Viejo sortudo
thank Goodness for being able to jump stream to the actual reacting
i always think that bruce dickinson have world best heavy metal singing voice( now a days coz he getting old i think marco with nightwish have the best voice). bruce can fly anything plane in this world,so one time they rent biggest plane and iron maiden fly every where they tour in world with bruce captain of course, maybe that´s one reason they have so large fan groups all over the world. i see 5 times live and have to say that amazing live band. ok thanx and hopefully can see more iron maiden here. have great day there.
great video, Iron Maiden is undoubtedly the greatest Heavy Metal band of all time, it has a very large list of songs for you to react to, looking forward to the next Iron Maiden song on your channel.
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
From the "Beast on the Road" tour. It was an amazing show. I saw it in Melbourne, Australia, third row from the front. Blew me away then, still love it now.
Fear of the Dark (Rock in Rio). You've now come across the greatest live band ever.
Oh well! Wherever. Wherever you are. Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far. Up the Irons!
Best song of IM from the best album with the best line up
Drummer Clive "monster" Burr
The best metal drummer
Gone but never forgotten
I'm 54, been a Maiden fan since 1980. You've only scratched the surface. Keep going.
My first Iron Maiden contact was when they opened for Kiss, i was sold on the spot.
Fronted with lead singer Paul Di'Anno, who had/has a very distinctive voice and it took some time to warm up to Bruce's vocals.
Best song live has to be Fear of the dark (Rock in Rio)
Fun fact: Iron Maiden has it's own plane Boeing 747, which is piloted by Bruce himself.
The best band of the world. Still.
The stupid thing is that there are just too many really great songs by Maiden. You appreciate that and should definitely do more of it. I just find it so difficult to make a suggestion because there are too many good songs. ^^
"The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" is an old but incredible song. The song that keeps giving me goosebumps even though I've heard it a thousand times is "The Sign Of The Cross". I could list so many songs but it doesn't matter. More from Maiden, please. :) Nice greetings from Germany.
Travis you are in for a treat this is my favorite band great song to react to
What's amazing about this song is that Bruce does not get drowned out by the guitars and you can still hear him and it's just amazing
Bruce was singing entire concert like GOD !!!! 💀
You guys are such fun. 😂😂😂 This was such an epic performance as well. Still can’t believe you’ve not listened to them so far. There’s a massive back catalogue to enjoy.
Thank you. You guys helped us get comfortable that we can be silly so thank you!
Most magical show experience ever. You could feel the energy!
You wonder if Axl Rose was influenced by this guy. The answer is probably yes. Honestly most Rock/ Metal singers worth their salt were influenced by this guy. Bruce Dickinson is a beast until today, even after throat cancer.
Iron Maiden is one of the best live bands of all time. To get a feel of how epic they are live, you need to react to Fear of the Dark, live at Rock in Rio in 2001.
Well...you picked a GREAT song to begin the trip down the Iron Maiden rabbit hole!!!! ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!
Iron Maiden is the best band ever, music, passion, feelings and massive performances all the time, Gods in the earth
How do you guys not know Maiden??!!!, You are in a rock band and don't know them?, Just messing with ya lol but it did surprise me you hadn't heard this before, I know almost all their tunes word for word. Either way great vid and cheers.
My favourite band of all time. This was the tour I first saw them live. Seems a lifetime ago lol
Oh Yeah Maiden!! for my 9th birthday, my uncle took me to my first metal concert.. it was Maiden and it was fucking awesome! 26years later still getting goosebumps every time i hear them. Damn.. lifetime love! Thx 4 doing this reaction. greetings from germany
Wow cool birthday!!
@@TheWolfHunterZ Yeah, im so happy he did that :D One year bevor, my mother took me to a PUR concert, thats a german Pop Band. And when my uncle heard about that he said "oh my god, you cant do this to him" and got that concert tickets (thats at least the story i was told :D )
Hope you will do some more Maiden :)
Bruce is now 61 and I stated in another reaction video that he held the last note of this song for 23 seconds in their "Roc in Rio" concert. Talk about lung power!!!!
Wow that’s power and skill
@@TheWolfHunterZ He learned in the church choir at the expensive private school his uncaring parents dumped him in. He also learnt Fencing. He was once Olympic standard. And he's a former commercial airline pilot. AND. he recovered from cancer on his tongue. You should read his autobiography, "What Does This Button Do?". It's all in there. 🤘
@@ChrisPage68 oh those horrible parents giving him a good education. They sound awful hahaha.
Always glad to see an unbelievably gorgeous girl jam to metal legends. My son his girlfriend and I drove 4 hours to Dallas to see maiden on their last tour in 2019 on a Saturday night what a way to spend a weekend. A show we will never forget. We are waiting for their next tour to go see them again.
Went to see them twice in their prime back in the 80's and Bruce Dickinson never stopped with that energy for the entire concert. 3 hours of just jumping all over the stage and singing like a rock god. Was just amazing to see. Very fond memories for sure.
I miss the 80s so much. Iron Maiden was so good live!
They still put on a great show!
My first record was with Iron Maiden, The number of the beast, my first ever concert, was with Iron Maiden 88" tour Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Better now than they ever were.
Still are homie
Now they are better than ever
Speaking of Iron Maiden, they were on their Legacy Of The Beast tour until Pandemic curbed the tour. Legacy is their 45th Anniversary, celebrating 45 years. That drummer, Clive Burr left the band in 1983, and their current drummer is Nicko McBrain. Now, Iron Maiden has 3 guitarists sharing leads: Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers plus Steve Harris, Bassist and founder of Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson has least 2 careers: you know as a singer, and he is a licensed airline pilot. During their long tours, they flies to different countries, IM has their own airline, either 747 or 757 Boeing. Plane is nicknamed, "Edd Force One" after their longtime mascot, "Eddie". Both of you will enjoyed all the songs by Iron Maiden.......Up with Irons!
Grew up with heavy metal and alot off iron maiden. Now my daughter and friend also are big fans. We went last year to there concert
Yessssss! I love that you love it :) Fun trivia: Bruce used to be a world class fencer. He is also a certified airline pilot :D
Thats right baby the 80s instrumental breaks epic been playing on stage now 40 plus years everyone still loves it everywhere i go
Yes guys, this was my favorite band in the eighties. I went to their concert in 1984 in de Ijsselhallen Zwolle. Fantastis show and band. Still like your blue hair Suzi and Travis his slow motion laugh is also great.haha keep it up
No auto tuner, just pure brilliance, long live IRON MAIDEN.
Iron Maiden unmatched Greatness. One must grasp how massive that sound was at that time, it was unheard of. In my opinion the GREATEST METAL BAND of all time. They still are selling out huge venues around the world to this day nearly 45 years after they formed.
Welcome to the journey of Maiden!!! We wont more obviusly!
Cheers from argentina! Up The Irons!!!
I saw Iron Maiden finally last August in Indiana, August 23rd. I loved every second, so epic.
I was fortunate to have seen them in Long Beach California on the live after death tour. In the 80s and they are the best show I've ever seen. And I saw everyone that came through LA from 1979 through 1988.
You just watched the greatest vocalist to ever front a metal band. Iron Maiden is full of talent, and he is just one.
His singing came from training in opera. for voice and breath control. He was taught to project his voice like he had no microphone and to make his voice bounce off the back wall of the room he was performing in.
IRON MAIDEN made possible what you guys do today.
Bruce Dickenson was an opera singer, he also fences and pilots the band's airplane from show to show.
UP THE IRONS
am i ever loving watching you first timers listening to maiden,it's absolutely priceless. up the irons!!
I'm 59 I saw them over 40 years ago live BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, AWESOME.
What !!!!!.. You need to react to more Iron Maiden then .. Judas Priest Painkiller , The Haunting by Kamelot W/Roy Khan and special guest Simone Simons of Epica ..
Iron Maiden Rocks and so does The Wolf Hunters!!! Bless and rock on from NZ 🇳🇿🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Crazy to think of they're close to turn 50 years plus, as a band.
Iron Maiden has always been the total package. When you go to see Maiden, you get a real show. Even to this day, when they're all in their 60s, it's still the same.
