      The thing is that recent live videos don't show that off. It's unfortunate but the poor guy does seem to be loosing range in his old age and he can't hold his notes as long. Nothing against him, Bruce is a legend and the kind of show he puts on would be difficult at any age but to hear him at his live best try a show from the mid 80s

    "Would I go and pay money to experience it myself? Probably not."
    That's what Fratello Metallo thought. He was an Italian capucine monk who wanted to see for himself what was that devil's music. Then he went to see a Metallica concert, and following his experience, became a metal singer.

      @giorgosgalanos9888 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Hehehe ... the devil's tricks... I love them! There was a similar case in Greece. Father Panteleimon (πατήρ Παντελεήμων), he was member of a band formed of priests and monks with the name "Παπαροκάδες" (free translation: the rock-priests). They played "christian pop-rock" that praised God, orthodox christianity, and against the new world order and the RFID chips. Eventually he abandoned the priesthood to became a hardcore metal singer. Musically however, they had some interesting songs...for example song title: "Έμαθα Ελεύθερος Να Ζω" (translation: I learned to live free). Today you can hear the former priest Panteleimon as a singer for the Greek metal band "Diviner". Search on TH-cam for "Diviner - Heaven Falls" ...devilishly funny title ha?? Hehehe!! \m/

    • @giorgosgalanos9888
      @giorgosgalanos9888 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      He was also the singer for a band that made a tribute live for Ronnie James Dio for charitable purpose (Rock in Dio). Search it on TH-cam if you like Dio...ex-father Panteleimon made an exellent job with the vocals. One of the best vocal cover singers of Dio...
      Title: "ROCK 'N' ROLL CHILDREN "Heaven and Hell" ROCK IN DIO Vol4 by METAL HAMMER"
      There are more songs of this live on TH-cam.
      The band's name is "Rock N Roll Children".

    There are reasons why this band has been one of the best live acts you can ever see for over 30 years. Their energy still, after all these years, the way they involve the audience and the fact that their audience consists of three generations all make it a very special experience. Live I have yet to experience better.

    Btw, i started listening to JSBach, vivaldi and mozart BECAUSE i started listening to heavy metal. The music has alot of similarities in composition, and toccata and fugue is probably the 1st true heavy metal ever. Metallica also did exceptional work with classical influences in the 2-4th albums with cliff burtons bass standing out. Orion by metallica is a masterpiece instrumental on a bass.

    Maiden obviously has 3 guitarists, so because of that, they are panned specifically. Janik Gers (first solo) is panned one way, Dave Murray (second solo) is panned the opposite side. With their third guitarist (adrian smith) is panned equally in left and right.

      I think most of their live albums are mixed that way. Live After Death from '85 was as I remember listening to it on a double cassette!! I think i wore the tapes out!

    Fear of the Dark is not the most interesting song they have ever done, composition-wise. Something like Alexander the Great, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, To Tame a Land or Phantom of the Opera might be more to your liking. A solid live version though.

      While I agree with you completely, it is a great audience reaction song. (Particularly in South America!)

    You absolutely nailed the reason why watching reactors is so compelling. Even though it's vicareous, it's the closest it's possible to get to that first-time buzz and in these days when there are no gigs on, and so little new material in cinema or tv as a result of CV19, that little bit of the original wonder and joy is more valuable than ever.

    Doug, interesting going back and seeing your first reaction to Iron Maiden. You went down the Iron Maiden rabbit hole I think realizing the complexity and breathe of the band as well as how many fans they have. I bet you can thank a good chunk of your soon to be 100k subscribers to Iron Maiden fans, myself included. I would love for you to do a reaction to Strange World, I'll guarantee you'll be surprised.

    Slayer is another band that pans guitars hard left and right on live recordings. They do it for the whole thing, not just solos, so it's kind of cool to be able to hear each guitarist's part fairly clearly.

    I'm a life long Maiden fan, well since my early teens and I've seen them several times, the best tour has to be the recent Legacy of the Beast tour. I saw them in Manchester and Bruce had recovered from tongue/throat cancer, he was on fire.
    I took my Dad and Sister with me, my sis was never a Metal or Maiden fan but she respected their work ethic and musicianship, she called that gig the best she's ever seen.

    This is has been amazingly interesting hearing someone who is so knowledgeable breaking down a great song! If you want more Iron Maiden recommendations try ‘Infinite Dreams’. I think it’s a very under-rated song of theirs.

    Ive been a fan of Iron Maiden since i was 11-12, im 44 now and i still think of them as my fav band ever. Second best concert ive been to( Steve Earl being #1) I listen everything from southern rock to zydaco music form the creol regions in the states. Maiden is just top shelf stuff.
