He certainly is, and also a historian as well as having an honorary doctorate of music from Queen Mary University of London. Truly a man of many talents👍
One of the best renditions of Eddie. There have been so many of him but this is one of my top 3 versions. It's unreal the energy these guys have after decades of touring! UP THE IRONS!
The reason why guitar sound in the main riffs in this version is different from the original one because there is additional guitarist in this version..... pre 2000 era they have 2 guitarest, post 2000 they have 3 guitarist in their lineup
@Meeshrick I agree..... Janick and Dave have the same style as one dimension sound... However, Adrian is totaly different style which create with Dave the iconic sound of maiden. I like Janick but he is a needless addition to the classic maiden songs.
@@abdallahalhadid really get annoyed when Janick does solos live that Adrian recorded in the studio. Like Hallowed be thy name, Revelations, and even this duel solo in the Trooper...Adrian is very precise and Janick rather than doing the same in a different octave he's just ad-libbing a sloppy mess
Nice to see you with your hair down Sam. I just bought tickets to see Iron Maiden in San Diego in October! Finally get to cross them off my bucket list!
Damn How did you manage to just get tickets for San Diego show, ?? I got my tickets for Portland like 9 months ago, LOL They were selling out quick then.
Bruce has mentioned before that the band tends to continually up the tempo as the tour goes on, it's just the band's excitement with playing live, much to his shigrin. He has told them to stop upping the tempo so he can keep up! It just goes to show what a tight, well-oiled machine they are!
I remember an old interview where Steve talks about choosing live recordings for Live after Death. The boys were very surprised when they realised that every song went a bit faster live!
You can’t go wrong with Maiden!! Love them!! Alexander the Great( studio/lyric ), Stranger in a Strange Land, Sea of Madness…….so many!!! Most of their live stuff is sped up somewhat. Thanks, guys!!! 🤘🤘🎸🎸❤️
If you like Maiden's sound you should give UFO a listen. Steve Harris (Maiden's Bass Player) was a massive fan of Pete Way of UFO, it's where Maiden get their 'Galloping Bass' sound - & Steve gets his fashion sense - striped spandex - from. I recommend the track 'Rock Bottom' as an opener - & the Guitarist is one Michael Schenker, little Brother of Rudolph Schenker of the Scorpions who at the time of recording Rock Bottom was younger than some of your underwear & already a Guitar genius. Pete Way, sadly gone & much missed these past four years. Saw him live with UFO, Fastway & Waysted - always too drunk to stand, always in a spandex leotard with the crotch somewhere around his knees & always, always, always a Monster Bass-playing Machine. He's telling War stories in Valhalla as I type. Love your stuff, keep up the good work. Love & Kisses from the UK.
Iron Maiden The Kings Of Metal, Eddie Is The Bands Mascot and Is On All 17 Studio Album Covers, Maiden Are Huge In South America, Check Out The Talisman From Iron Maiden - En Vivo 👍👏.
Iron Maiden....Rocks you to the core, and teaches you a history lesson as well. Eddie is the Skeleton.....look at their albums covers in order to see his evolution. Eddie Rocks.......Up The Irons
Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie the Head has evolved over the band's career, first appearing in 1980 as a papier-mâché mask created by Dave "Lights" Beazley, the band's lighting and pyro man. The mask was used as part of the band's stage backdrop and was connected to a fish pond pump that would spill fake blood during shows. The band later transferred the name "Eddie" to an illustration by Derek Riggs that was used on the cover of their debut album. Eddie has since appeared in many different forms, including a cyborg, an Egyptian mummy, a lobotomized mental patient, and a samurai warrior, to reflect the themes of the band's albums and tours. Eddie has been featured on most of the band's albums, singles, and live albums, and is a permanent fixture at their concerts
The great thing about this band is they were actually intelligent. Most their songs are history based, not all but most. They were one of the best of their time. Trooper is a great song to start with too.
The original music video version is well worth a watch, it puts the song into context really well....saw them in 1989 or 1990 I think..in Belfast . A 10 -12 ft tall Eddy came on stage (a guy in costume and stilts) and rocked out with the band ...it was my first concert and I was hooked, I'm now 50 !
Iron Maiden's mascot is the skeletal ghoul 'Eddie the head'... It was introduced in 1980 on Iron Maiden's first album created by artist Derek Riggs after Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood wanted a 'sixth personality' to represent Iron Maiden visually because none of the 5 members of Iron Maiden in 1980 were striking personalities (They were all fairly shy and quiet guys, including vocalist Paul Di'Anno) Derek Riggs drew the first Iron Maiden cover of a skeletal ghoul w/ hollow eyes and punk rock hair, standing in the dark London streets... and that was what Smallwood liked and commissioned Riggs to draw 'Eddie' in various incarnations from 1980 to 1991... Riggs said the painting of 'Eddie' was inspired by the photo of a decapitated soldier's head on display on a tank during the Vietnam war. After Riggs quit working for Iron Maiden, artist Melvyn Grant took over drawing 'Eddie' in 1992. The name 'Eddie' came when Rod Smallwood met Iron Maiden in 1979 during their club days, he noticed that the band had a silver mask next to the band's logo onstage which would spew out smoke during their set or drip fake blood during the song 'Iron Maiden'... Smallwood asked bassist Steve Harris what the mask was and Harris told him, "Oh, we call it the head" (In his thick British accent, it sounded like "The 'Ed"... hence, the name 'Eddie the head') When Iron Maiden began touring in 1980 on their first album, Eddie replaced the silver mask onstage and Smallwood had 'Eddie' masks made so that a roadie could assume the character onstage... In 1982, Iron Maiden hired a stage prop company that created tall figures onstage w/ actors on stilts... They created this monolithic 'Eddie' to wander onstage during Iron Maiden concerts and would tower over the band members for a few minutes before leaving.
I’ve always preferred the studio version of this song precisely because the tempo of live version is too fast for Bruce to keep up and it does have a negative impact on the vocals. So pleased that someone else finally agrees! 😄🤘
Can you believe these bad asses are not in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame? WTF?? No radio play but sold out arenas/stadiums globally. Merch everywhere. RnR HOF has fan votes every year, VOTE!!
4:30 "I Don't Know If That's Eddie, Per Se" In answer to that question, Phil, that is indeed Eddie, as is every other incarnation that you and Sam had seen. Eddie's been the mascot of the band even before Bruce Dickinson joined the band. And appeared on all the album cover art in some way
Eddie's been there since the beginning. They have an animated version that's about 10ft tall that comes out on stage and combats the band. Better live than reordered. South America lives their metal. 100,000 people often. Bruce is also an Olympic level fencer I believe.
Tempo is a little faster live, it’s one of the reasons people love the live songs - obviously the whole show too, so much energy. They are touring this year too and still draw a big crowd young and old.
Maiden! They just plain crank, do their self titled song, Iron Maiden! Great song, also when you can, see contemporary band Liliac, a family of sibling, musical savants, they do a kick buff cover of the Trooper that is a must see, it is from around 5 years ago and they are just kids and teens and it is one of the best covers you will ever see. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥
Newer Iron Maiden songs I suggest: 'The reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg' ... 'Paschendale' ... 'The red and the black'... 'Stratego' ... 'For the greater good of God'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
More Maiden please
iron maiden parchment.. One of the best of the 21st century
I have been fan since 1982, have seen them 17 times and the 18th time will be in October in Montreal, Canada.
Bruce is a pilot, fencer, author and singer
I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
He certainly is, and also a historian as well as having an honorary doctorate of music from Queen Mary University of London. Truly a man of many talents👍
Only Bruce would be belting out at that level while waving a massive flag 🇬🇧
Eddie is the mascot and he’s on every single one of their albums. Yes, that’s Eddie in the background. Eddie the dying corpse is complete fire.! 🔥
I have about 12 iron maiden posters with Eddie.Many of them being pretty obscure , like phantom of the opera or charlotte , the harlot
@@terryconnelly484Charlot the harlot was Dave's Murray girlfriend...true story.
Calm down man, nobody asked.
Eddie!! Yes I'm here for Maiden. Run to the hills is a banger too. Great reaction as usual my friends and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
I'm amazed by Bruce vocal performance! Most singers aging can't sing like he does in this video
I'm 52 Chilean metalhead as a Lot of Friends ..
The Best Band💪🎸🥁👍Thanks You Two !!
One of the best renditions of Eddie. There have been so many of him but this is one of my top 3 versions. It's unreal the energy these guys have after decades of touring! UP THE IRONS!

They were better as a two guitarist band in my opinion. Janick is a distraction and hard to watch with his stage antics in my opinion
@Meeshrick
I agree..... Janick and Dave have the same style as one dimension sound... However, Adrian is totaly different style which create with Dave the iconic sound of maiden. I like Janick but he is a needless addition to the classic maiden songs.
@@abdallahalhadid really get annoyed when Janick does solos live that Adrian recorded in the studio. Like Hallowed be thy name, Revelations, and even this duel solo in the Trooper...Adrian is very precise and Janick rather than doing the same in a different octave he's just ad-libbing a sloppy mess
I like Janick but songs like the trupper is better with 2 live.
You really need to see Rime Of The Ancient mariner. Dance Of Death. The Talisman..all live so amazing!!!!
I always love when you can see that the band is having a blast 💥
Nice to see you with your hair down Sam. I just bought tickets to see Iron Maiden in San Diego in October! Finally get to cross them off my bucket list!
Damn How did you manage to just get tickets for San Diego show, ?? I got my tickets for Portland like 9 months ago, LOL They were selling out quick then.
The Trooper is based on the Charge Of The Light Brigade in the Crimean War you always get a history lesson from Maiden UP THE IRONS
Besides poems. Samuel Taylor Coleridge would be proud of them on Rime of the Ancient Mariner. For me, their best song.
You are Most likely to get a history lesson when you listen to iron maiden
Bruce has mentioned before that the band tends to continually up the tempo as the tour goes on, it's just the band's excitement with playing live, much to his shigrin. He has told them to stop upping the tempo so he can keep up!

What is (studio/lyric)??? You mean the studio version?? If so, then yeah, it's a masterpiece
@@osamaqtaitat yes. I meant the studio version but with lyrics so they could see how well the story is being told.
The background behind the stage was my favorite Iron Maiden poster that I had in my room!
Bruce flies the bands airline when they go on tour, a 747 that was converted to carry all their equipment and members..
Hi Sam and Phil... Here we Go! Been waiting for this.
Always a like when its Iron Maiden !
Guys you must watch the video of Anthrax live in Chile 2013, Indians
stepping out of my comfort zone - - 1st I.M. song ever.
Iron Maiden was the first concert I went after the covid lockdown in 2022.. awesome open air concert in the summer evening. Perfect.
Iron Maiden practically invented the sing-a-long for heavy metal. Everybody knows all the lyrics and they show it.
Singing lyrics is normal, but chanting and humming the melodies are another level! Up the Irons!
I was a drummer in a metal band, back in the 80's.... we played The Trooper, and it wore me out lol.
Alice Cooper - Elected (73) what could be more timely. 💯
banger 🔥!!
Bruce Dickinson huge Alice Fan!
IRON MAIDEN NUMBER ONE Heavy metal.......
Run to the Hills is a must
Two minutes to midnight!..Album cut🤘
Saw Maden open up for Priest. The Number of the Beast Screaming for Vengeance. Ahhhhhh I miss those days

They were one of the best of their time.
Trooper is a great song to start with too.
Maiden is so legendary!
The song is ALWAY FASTER LIVE❤
Hallowed be thy name is still my fav.
pls Fear of the dark Live in Chile 😀
Singing lyrics is normal, but chanting and humming the melodies is another level! Up the Irons!
Please More live Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden forever!🤘❤🤟
So glad they didn’t sack Jannick when Dave came rejoined that band. A fucking trio of guitars sound insane.
Dave Murray's Les Paul beefed that song up to next level.
Love you guys ❤
Up the Iron’s 🤘🤘

Ty for reaction! Up the Irons!
Why not do a live reaction to that actual 1983 tour?
Respect though 🙏🏻
Dvd en stgo Chile 2011 yo estuve allí
Up The Irons 🤘
YA BRING BACK SO MANY MEMORIES FFS!!!!!!
Great band but the bass "galloping" was lifted from Led Zeppelin's 1976 masterpiece "Achilles Last Stand" Something for you guys to check out
I think it's more likely the galloping effect was borrowed from Deep Purple's 'Hard Lovin' Man' since Steve Harris is a big fan of Purple.
I’ve always preferred the studio version of this song precisely because the tempo of live version is too fast for Bruce to keep up and it does have a negative impact on the vocals. So pleased that someone else finally agrees! 😄🤘
The backdrop Of the show
I had air brushed on the back of my denim Vest
Aces high is also a great song you guys should react⚡️🤘🏽
Freddy Mercury and Bruce Dickinson are able to make the audience sing like no other
Can you believe these bad asses are not in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame? WTF??
No radio play but sold out arenas/stadiums globally. Merch everywhere.
RnR HOF has fan votes every year, VOTE!!

"I Don't Know If That's Eddie, Per Se"
In answer to that question, Phil, that is indeed Eddie, as is every other incarnation that you and Sam had seen.
Eddie's been the mascot of the band even before Bruce Dickinson joined the band. And appeared on all the album cover art in some way
Could’ve sworn they wanted to do studio cuts first? What changed because I agreed with their reasoning.
You need to see a live video where Eddie makes an appearance on stage!!!
Sam was washing dishes. She knows her place.
Up the Irons!
Eddie is always on their covers...always.
Steve harris the bass player
Was the reason I played bass
This is from flight 666 witch is worth a watch it's a documentary about the band
Eddie's been there since the beginning. They have an animated version that's about 10ft tall that comes out on stage and combats the band. Better live than reordered. South America lives their metal. 100,000 people often.
Bruce is also an Olympic level fencer I believe.
Now watch LILIAC and their cover to this song, they absolutely nailed it. And that voice! Chills!
They actually had three guitars at this stage of their career
Tempo is a little faster live, it’s one of the reasons people love the live songs - obviously the whole show too, so much energy.
They are touring this year too and still draw a big crowd young and old.
I love both, studio first actually, but live is amazing also, because it's real whether live or studio!
Compared to their studio version , they increased their tempo about twenty percent For the live version
Maiden! They just plain crank, do their self titled song, Iron Maiden! Great song, also when you can, see contemporary band Liliac, a family of sibling, musical savants, they do a kick buff cover of the Trooper that is a must see, it is from around 5 years ago and they are just kids and teens and it is one of the best covers you will ever see. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥
The song is a little faster in the studio, but they normally play faster live. Most bands do.
South America is on another level
You should check out Jethro Tull...Locomotive Breath ❤❤❤
Iron Maiden -The Prisoner live 1982 at Hammersmith
Killers is considered Maidens 1981 cult classic album. 🎶 Murders in The Rue Morgue 🎶 check it out 😀
Hey yall, We need that tony henchcliffe clip from roast of tom brady and more jeff dunham!
Dave playing a Gibson!!
Eddie the head is on every album cover
Newer Iron Maiden songs I suggest:
'The reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg' ... 'Paschendale' ... 'The red and the black'... 'Stratego' ... 'For the greater good of God'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
Maiden do tend to up the tempo LIVE
do Rythm of the Ancient Mariner. studio version, then do the live version from 1985.
Maiden to be continued
Try Aces High oficial video next time!
Yeah, right...
That's 'Eddie the 'ead. It's always the same character.
Life after death album very2 best songs
Eddie is also a robot. Watch The Evil That Men Do live and he comes out
Please react to "Hallowed Be Thy Name" - Live in Toronto [Flight 666 DVD]
