Bruce Dickinson - The human Air-raid siren! Also qualified pilot who pilots the band’s 747 on tour, close to Olympic level fencer (sword fighting), and throat cancer survivor and still singing and touring after 50 years. Bassist Steve Harris is so underrated as a bassist and also composer of many of their song.
Steve 'King' Harris is the reason i picked up the instrument and has always been recognized as one of the best, so don't know if agree with your comment. Cheers!
They are story tellers. Every song has one. Even on some songs like “Run to the Hills”, “The Trooper” & a few others, you learn some history. Their lyrics have very deep meanings.
Yep. Outstanding storytellers. My favorite Iron Maiden song by far is Rhime Of The Ancient Mariner. Everybody remembers reading that in school. Maiden did/does a fantastic job of bringing that epic to life and putting you on that ship with the mariner.
Is just a strange iluuuuuusiiiioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
@@Dukkha-Bhavana No idea why, but at the last R and R HOF selection they decided to induct Jay-Z and the Go Go's in the performer category, among others. Anyone who doesn't recognize Maiden as one of the best selling, longest lasting and most influential bands in history is a frigging moron.
"When the Priest comes to read me the last rites, take a look thru the bars at the last sight of a world that has gone very wrong for me". Those are killer lyric's !
You should dive deep into Iron Maiden as they are one of the most influential Metal bands in history. Hallowed Be Thy Name is my all-time favorite Iron Maiden song. Have listened to it on repeat thousands of times (sorry Brad xD).
The more mind boggling part is that he doesn't change pitch at all for that part, I can sing that length of time for sure but I have to change pitch 3 times to do it
Definitely. There's no comparison, Iron Maiden have been releasing great albums for 40 years, and helped pioneer one of the greatest music genres ever. GnR have like an album and a half of good songs lol.
Heavy Metal is a tribute to Iron Maiden ! They are classy, classical, meaningful, and masters of their crafts ! Been doing for well over 40 yrs , and still performing today, just released new song last week - "Writing on the Wall" Up The Irons 🤘 Next up from this amazing band should be : Rime of the Ancient Mariner LIVE Flight 666 Tour
Re Bruce's muscles: at the time he was a world class fencer, and would train on tour. It allowed him the strength run around and control his breathing and still sing.
Maiden... The story tellers and history buffs, are beyond any ranking. The more you become familiar the more this becomes apparent. And they have the ammunition to support a full on deep dive into the rabbit hole that will not disappoint. UP THE IRONS 🤘
This is no ‘one off show’. Every song in every sincere has this level of energy, skill and showmanship and they are still at this level today 40 years later. One of the most important metal bands in history along with Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Dio.
Iron Maiden is a rabbit hole. They have been around forever, and I mean, FOREVER! Good luck, it can go on and on and on. They are amazing! If you want spooky, Mushroomhead - We are the Truth
@@RobMazing3 Charlotte the Harlot and Prowler were 2 of my favorite cuts off that album, but Phantom of the Opera and Running Free were badges too. Like I said, the whole album screamed "kick ass!" As much as I dig Dickinson, and let's face it, he's a freaking master, Paul Di'Anno had a really cool voice that just jibed so perfectly with their early music.
Iron Maiden has an absolutely remarkable collection of songs...... Wasted Years Run To The Hills The Trooper Aces High 2 Minutes To Midnight Number Of The Beast Flight Of Icarus ...........and dozens more. They are the definition of Metal.
As a teen I was at this gig and seen iron maiden loads of times, one of the best rock bands ever, the shows are amazing, songs are great, love what you guys do, all the the from a Brit 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
I was a 15 year old Maiden fan and young drummer... front row left stage this tour with Scorpions...first of many Maiden concerts.... there's nothing like it...
Everybody's going to recommend "Run to the hills", "The Number of the Beast", "The Trooper", "Fear of the Dark", "Aces High." I'm going to recommend "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land." I think Brad could vibe with those and Lex can still rock out.
Bruce Dickinson, the singer, is a polymath. He is a registered airline pilot, he flies the bands tour plane, he's, obviously, the singer of a world class metal band, he was also, which explains his physique, a national level fencer. So yeah, he'd be solid back up in a fight, probably still, the band still tours and its nearly 40 years since this show.
Also, smart cookie. When the band saw that their music was being illegally downloaded in droves, what did they do? They scheduled a fucking tour to the places where it was downloaded the most. Big hit, that one.
@@juliodavila424 Also voted for brexit then complained that it made it harder for them to tour. He didn't give a shit about smaller artists who brexit has removed ANY chance of touring Europe.from. He'a a bit of a dick. Moral of the story? Don't put people on pedastels folks. You'll always be disappointed when they turn out to be assholes.
Yes!!! Going old school, I had tickets last year but the Australian tour was cancelled because of covid, I'm 44 now and first started listening to them when I was 15.
If they return, definitely see that show my friend. I saw them back in the 80s "World Slavery tour"' which was amazing and from what I understand they haven't lost a step.
They just released a new song "The Writing On The Wall" they formed in 1975 & still fill huge stadiums today , they are the best bar none no- one can touch them.
The singer Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio are considered as two of the best Heavy Metal singers. On stage DIO had a (living ?) dragon that breathed fire and IRON MAIDEN still have their creepy and giant mascot : Eddie. IRON MAIDEN is one of the best 3 artists I' ve seen on stage. What a hell of a show !!! Up the Irons !🤘
Interesting fact - this performance at Hammersmith Odeon was timed to the release of the album so the crowd had never heard this song. Hence why they seem so spellbound by it; they're quite literally all experiencing what you are. Later versions show them totally rocking out and singing along. It's also why it's so raw and authentic.
This is Maiden in the early 80's. You have to check out more Maiden in order to truly appreciate just how good they are. I highly suggest The Clansman live from Rock in Rio. It's mid 2000's performance but you see just how good they are.
As a kid in the 80s-90s, I collected as much Iron Maiden stuff that I could lay my hands on. Unfortunately most of it got stolen but fortunately I still have all my vinyl. Still love 'em.
And now we have one of my Top 5 favourite bands of all time. Saw these guys back in '89...the energy and quality of performance was absolutely unmatched in my experience.🤘
Not a "One off". They've been around for a long, long time for a reason! Still touring too😈👍 Also, the singer piolets the jumbo jet that flies them around the world😳
One of the best Maiden tunes ever,& you can bet your ass, no matter what album their touring, they ALWAYS PLAY THIS SONG! the crowd wouldn’t let em out of the building without playing it… UP IRONS ALWAYS!!!🤘🏻⚡️🎸
Brad is a simple man. "It didn't hurt my ears." is really all it took to be an alright song. Maiden is awesome, if you dig into them more, there's so many great tracks. I saw them live in 2014 and they were incredible. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Saw them three times. All were top notch. Theatrics were always part of the show and were much anticipated. Always singing and no voice overs. Bruce's voice is one of rocks best.
Just love Lex's smile, energy and excitement to our beloved Heavy Metal. You are a metalhead young lady. Iron Maiden are my favourite band. You HAVE TO, HAVE TO see them live to get the full experience. You won't be disappointed. Brad, relax, unwind and enjoy. You will be won over totally when you see them live. 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
When Lex was saying “memory” I kept thinking “story.” Lyrics hit hard: “As the guards march me out to the courtyard. Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you!" If there's a God, why has he let me go? “Powerslave” is another heavy. You’d dig it, Brad. Other than this one, I prefer studio versions. Up the Irons!
Iron Maiden are starting touring in May this year , I'll be at one of those shows Maiden are high stage performances Bruce is a Storyteller he's unique he's a Master of so many high Job positions in his outstanding life!
They are still going and still full of energy, COVID interrupted their last tour. They've also just dropped the first single off of their upcoming new album in the last couple of weeks.
the coolest part of the song was the "clicking " of the bass players strings slapping the guitar body as he plays with his fingers not a pick...sounds like a whole different instrument...great sound
You picked a great song to start with for Iron Maiden. That video, IIRC, is from 1982. Just last week they released a new video, The Writing On The Wall. Still going strong to this day. As someone above said, come for the metal, stay for the history/philosophy lesson I've been lucky enough to see Iron Maiden 7 times, and every time they bring it. They are masters of their craft. I would suggest some other live shows and songs: Rock In Rio (2001): Fear Of The Dark The Clansman Sign Of The Cross Flight 666 (2009) Rime of the Ancient Mariner Fear of the Dark Iron Maiden is a thinking mans band. Their songs always include some sort of message or story. Thanks for the reaction and UP THE IRONS!!!
Saw them in Memphis open for 38 special in 1982. They were touring with anyone they could traveling around in a station wagon and a box van. Knew when I saw them they were gonna be huge. They were promoting this album.
Loved your reaction! If you thought this was theatrical, then you HAVE to listen to Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Their absolute best song ever, (This song is a strong second.)! Keep up the great work!
Iron Maiden are definitely entertainers not just musicians! Also this was 80s, they started late 70s but all their good shit, which this is, is in the 80s. They like to take you on a journey with the music.
One of the greatest vocalists, one of greatest ever bands. These guys are still touring with the same power. Cant make put words? He has perfect diction
I think he is doing fine. I am just not sure he likes most of the music lol It is definitely something you have to learn to like. He is getting more open-minded.
The rabbit hole is deep with Iron Maiden!!! Maiden is off the hook the best!!! This is the song I would have introduced you to Maiden with. Fantastic song!! 1982. Number of The Beast is the bomb album. Up The Irons!! \../ \../
Tip/suggestion: Lex's personality/enthusiasm/interest is positively infectious, I barely know any women into metal so this is nice. Brad makes me laugh because you can tell especially in earlier videos when he's not feeling something or annoyed because his face will be all tense like he's constipated lol. You're both dope. Anyway, I know that TH-cam wants stuff this way where you have a little snippet in the beginning of what's to come, but pleease don't spoil the react within the first few seconds. It makes people not as interested. Hella react channels do it this way :(
I have always imagined someone sitting in a cell in the tower of London coming to terms with his impending death. They are all virtuoso on their own "remember voice is an instrument" and they gel together so well that they are like a single organism on stage. One of the best songs by one of the best bands of all time. Glad you both appreciated it.
They just released a new song with an epic animated video. It's called The writing on the wall. Maybe you would like to check it out since it's not an "Oldie" :D
There were two things made me fall in love with Maiden back in the day, the amazing guitar harmonies that so many people have used since and the vocals from the incomparable Bruce Dickinson. GOAT power metal vocalist by a lot.
There’s never nothing normal about Maiden live.Lex would have been a blast to hang with back then rockin and partying.We went to all the kicking rock concerts
My favorite Maiden song 🤘 this was from 1982. You'll love Fear of the Dark live at Rock in Rio. PS, in my opinion, they are always better to watch live because Bruce is an absolute fantastic front man... besides having one of the best metal voices ever ❤
This was in the late 70s and early 80s. This man has one hell of a voice to boot. If you weren’t pumped up at there concert and after you had no pulse!!!
Bruce Dickinson - The human Air-raid siren! Also qualified pilot who pilots the band’s 747 on tour, close to Olympic level fencer (sword fighting), and throat cancer survivor and still singing and touring after 50 years. Bassist Steve Harris is so underrated as a bassist and also composer of many of their song.
Steve Harris is hardly underrated.
Bruce wouldve been 12 50 years ago...
Up the Irons, skol!!
Steve 'King' Harris is the reason i picked up the instrument and has always been recognized as one of the best, so don't know if agree with your comment. Cheers!
@Mike Hobbs why do you bring sharon into this? wtf has she to do with hallowed be thy name? did you get $$$ to post ?pathetic
They are story tellers. Every song has one. Even on some songs like “Run to the Hills”, “The Trooper” & a few others, you learn some history. Their lyrics have very deep meanings.
Even Transylvania seems to tell a story..... and it's an instrumental
well, many of their songs have a deep meaning :p But some don't and some songs are just a re-tell of a british popcultural phenomenon. :)
Yep. Outstanding storytellers. My favorite Iron Maiden song by far is Rhime Of The Ancient Mariner. Everybody remembers reading that in school. Maiden did/does a fantastic job of bringing that epic to life and putting you on that ship with the mariner.
"Alexander the Great"
This about a man on death row
This song is about the last minutes of a guy on death row. He is reflecting on all his life choices.
It's more about him coming to terms with his death
Up the Irons!!🤘😁🎸🎼 🔥 One of the Best storytellers Ever!! They're Better Live!!

Bruce is one hell of a singer just like Ronnie James
Dio is God
@Mike Hobbs was he really 5’4 lmaooo 🤣 that’s just crazy to think about that
Dio was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rainbow rising
Oh damn. Yes. For real. Both men have sent me into fits of rock madness for decades!
You should dive deep into Iron Maiden as they are one of the most influential Metal bands in history. Hallowed Be Thy Name is my all-time favorite Iron Maiden song. Have listened to it on repeat thousands of times (sorry Brad xD).
Ditto ❣️
They originated that 3 guitar sound...
Best Maiden song followed by "Flash Of The Blade", IMHO.
Rhime of the ancient mariner !
Farthest thing from a “One time” listen song. One of the greatest metal songs of all time.
I´m most interested in how people react to Bruce singing the first "looooooow" literally for ages :D
When the wind comes across the plains, from the east. You can still hear Bruce holding that note.....
The more mind boggling part is that he doesn't change pitch at all for that part, I can sing that length of time for sure but I have to change pitch 3 times to do it
@@johnbush5347 you should see the vocal coach reactions to this song....it literally blows their mind.
Legend has it that there is an alternate dimension where that note continues for eternity

Next up from this amazing band should be :
Rime of the Ancient Mariner LIVE Flight 666 Tour
@@yankeerepairs saw the documentary of the 666 tour several times,,,,, Amazing!!! Love how insane the fan reception was in Latin America 🤘
It's a fun one to learn on guitar actually, I learned it like 8 years ago and still play it all the time
Steve's bass. So tight. So solid. Each and everytime! The whole band always sounds amazing.
Re Bruce's muscles: at the time he was a world class fencer, and would train on tour. It allowed him the strength run around and control his breathing and still sing.
Every time I watch this performance, I can't get over how chill the guitarists look even though they're rocking SO HARD!
One of, if not the most influential and best metal bands in history.... Rabbit hole!

Every time I hear Bruce hit that last note I I get chills...every time, without fail.
Iron Maiden is a rabbit hole. They have been around forever, and I mean, FOREVER! Good luck, it can go on and on and on. They are amazing!
If you want spooky, Mushroomhead - We are the Truth
Fear of the Dark by Maiden live is a must.
"Rime of the ancient mariner" iron maiden is definitely worth checking out
Start them off light lmao
Klassik of all the klassiks
Yeah, putting on a show is what Iron Maiden did best, every song is a performance, every song was a show.
DID best? DOES best!
This is a normal song for Maiden. Lol. Definitely Legends and Bruce's voice is one of the best... If not the best.
Seeing Lex rocking out to Iron Maiden makes me feel so good all over. Lex you're awesome!🤘🏻🌸
Every Iron Maiden song is like an Opera. They lead you through an intense musical story, full of theatrics and a musical novel.
Transylvania by Iron Maiden is actually the reason i wanted to learn how to play guitar!
Off their self title album, pre-Bruce. Dude, that whole album kicked ass. Glad to see another old school Maiden fan.
@@rmhrllc5103 hell ya rock on!

Iron Maiden has an absolutely remarkable collection of songs......
Wasted Years
Run To The Hills
The Trooper
Aces High
2 Minutes To Midnight

Wasted Years is an awesome song.
I'll recommend 'Sun and Steel' to follow your requests...such an underrated song imop!
Lots of people love Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Yes! Been waiting for this one! I’m pretty sure I was the first to request it.So glad you both liked it.Up the Irons!
This was 1982-1983 and Iron Maiden is still around making new albums and touring today.. legendary band.

I've seen them twice, both masterful shows. Bruce Dickenson is in his 60's and they just released a new album.
he is 62 lol
Such an intense live band. I'll never forget Iron Maiden out of the many concerts from the 80"s!
The singer Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio are considered as two of the best Heavy Metal singers.

the coolest part of the song was the "clicking " of the bass players strings slapping the guitar body as he plays with his fingers not a pick...sounds like a whole different instrument...great sound
That's Steve Harris. And while he is a master of the bass most bass players don't use a pick.
@@lsufan4138 'most' is a bit of a stretch. Certain sounds can't be attained without a plectrum.

I've been lucky enough to see Iron Maiden 7 times, and every time they bring it. They are masters of their craft. I would suggest some other live shows and songs:
Rock In Rio (2001):
Fear Of The Dark
The Clansman
Sign Of The Cross
Flight 666 (2009)
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Fear of the Dark
Iron Maiden is a thinking mans band. Their songs always include some sort of message or story. Thanks for the reaction and UP THE IRONS!!!
Lex just discovered another piece of metal puzzle. Yeah.
One of the best melodic heavy metal bands ever!
You two need to do Queensryche "Take Hold of the Flame" live in Tokyo
This is a band you should see live. They tour quite a bit. Insane stage show and lots of energy.
Up the Irons. Come for the metal get a history lesson next should be Paschendale
The Harris’s bass really stands out
This was early 80s. Maiden are metal royalty.
Saw them in Memphis open for 38 special in 1982. They were touring with anyone they could traveling around in a station wagon and a box van. Knew when I saw them they were gonna be huge. They were promoting this album.

One of the greatest vocalists, one of greatest ever bands. These guys are still touring with the same power. Cant make put words? He has perfect diction
She’s so full of life and joy, he’s almost the opposite.
Maybe it’s just his personality, introvert vs extrovert.
I think he is doing fine. I am just not sure he likes most of the music lol
It is definitely something you have to learn to like. He is getting more open-minded.
Intros and extroverts tend to pair off
Every song from Iron Maiden is theatre believe me, It's like an ongoing show that never gives up!
Can't comment, I love them so much, I'm completely impartial 😁
Her reaction was awesome. She recognized talent. He looks like he was waiting for the song to be over. He wasn't taking it in.
The rabbit hole is deep with Iron Maiden!!! Maiden is off the hook the best!!!
This is the song I would have introduced you to Maiden with. Fantastic song!! 1982. Number of The Beast is the bomb album. Up The Irons!! \../ \../

Whoever dislike this song has horrible taste in music 😂
Damn right
Iron Maiden are one of a few bands that can deliver great storylines in their songs.
Brad:"its like a show" Me: well its a recording of a live show so that math checks out. I get what you mean but couldn't help myself #UpTheIrons
It's almost metal theatre with the stageshow they put on. Lucky enough to have seen them twice and both times they were sensational.
@@andrewblatherwick8758 I've only gotten to see them once so far. an amazing show for sure
I have always imagined someone sitting in a cell in the tower of London coming to terms with his impending death. They are all virtuoso on their own "remember voice is an instrument" and they gel together so well that they are like a single organism on stage. One of the best songs by one of the best bands of all time. Glad you both appreciated it.
They just released a new song with an epic animated video. It's called The writing on the wall. Maybe you would like to check it out since it's not an "Oldie" :D
There were two things made me fall in love with Maiden back in the day, the amazing guitar harmonies that so many people have used since and the vocals from the incomparable Bruce Dickinson. GOAT power metal vocalist by a lot.
Up the Irons!!!!
There’s never nothing normal about Maiden live.Lex would have been a blast to hang with back then rockin and partying.We went to all the kicking rock concerts
My favorite Maiden song 🤘 this was from 1982. You'll love Fear of the Dark live at Rock in Rio. PS, in my opinion, they are always better to watch live because Bruce is an absolute fantastic front man... besides having one of the best metal voices ever ❤
Such amazing guitar playing. Bruce is off the hook as always ❤️❤️
Cradle of Filths remake of this was really good. It’s more “remastered” and “heavier” for Lex
Yesssss! This band is SO fun
Lot's of "creepy" Maiden songs. Do "Killers". Not enough reactions to it. Or "the Number of the Beast".
This was in the late 70s and early 80s. This man has one hell of a voice to boot. If you weren’t pumped up at there concert and after you had no pulse!!!
