      Come on man, I love Bruce but his voice definitely isn’t what it used to be. It’s completely understandable, happens to the best of them, but he’s severely lacking in the richness and power that he had back here.

    In terms of his high note singing, I wouldn't say this is a great representation of it. He's really holding back on these notes and there's many videos where he's actually singing them and even more clearly.
    Great singer. Hope you keep reacting to their stuff.

      I believe that on this tour, incluiding the fact of not beeing able to sing in a healthy way back in those days, Bruce forced his voice several times, so on this show, his voice was already tired and note able to sing in a high pitch

      @@TheVocalyst As a former classical singer myself, singers like Bruce Dickinson as well as Geoff Tate (Of the band Queensryche), and Roy Khan (of the bands Kamelot, and Conception) totally got me into this kind of music. Some awesome singers. Roy Khan studied opera before he went into metal and Geoff's aunt was an opera singer with the Cincinnati Opera.

    Back in my day, we called Bruce Dickinson "The Human Air Raid Siren". I suggest just once you listen to the studio version of Hallowed to really feel the full impact of his voice. 2 Minutes to Midnight is a good one, too.

    This particular recording is all the more impressive if you watch the entire show, and see Bruce blowing his voice out completely trying to get the high notes in the first song they play... Aces High. It's the most heroic piece of singing I've ever seen. To still be able to do this song justice a good hour later is beyond incredible.

    • @CoffeeMatt10
      @CoffeeMatt10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      4 consecutive nights at Long Beach Arena during a 192 date tour, a couple of those (I believe New York and one of other) were cancelled due to Bruce being ill, and his still pretty raw style of singing, it’s hardly a surprise his voice was on the edge. Compare his first run in the band (81-93) with his current run (99-present), and you can tell his style has matured over the years. His performances are just as big as they ever were, but that rawness is gone.

      @j_freed ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aces High is not a vocal melody Bruce would have ever written to sing, the song sucks for them because it’s really un-singable live for Bruce with Maiden. It’s all Steve Harris to blame here.
      Almost the worst song to have to open a set with. Dickinson can simply not sing the A4-B4-C5-D5 part of the verse with any consistency… and compared to the beautiful album version the chorus simply does not translate live, it falls flat.
      I’d also like to point out that Bruce has no trouble hitting the D5 note on a song like The Talisman. He can swoop up to the note in that context. Aces High is simply an unsingable melody that Steve forced Bruce to sing. Well, OK it wasn’t terrible on the Flight 666 movie version… but it’s a ball buster vocally.

    “Ok, I got a little lost in that.” It’s okay, I’ve been listening to Maiden for decades now and I still find myself getting lost in their music.
    Had the pleasure of seeing Maiden again just a few days ago in Toronto and they are still as energetic and tremendous a live act as they have ever been despite them all being in their 60’s.
    Iron Maiden is a band that if you ever get the opportunity to see them live, you take it. They are entertaining, the energy is infectious and being surround by thousands of fans all singing along is amazing. In some ways I actually think they sound better live than with all the polish of a studio sound.

    I've been listening to Iron Maiden since 1982, at the age of 15. This song is probably Maiden's most popular on TH-cam, from the Live After Death Tour.
    The beast one IMO is the Beast Over Hammersmith 1982 version
    Iron Maiden is:
    Bruce Dickinson - Vocals Born: August 7, 1958 (age 63 years) Started with Iron Maiden in 1981, left in 1993 and rejoined in 1999 and present singer
    Steve Harris - Bassist and Founder Born: March 12, 1956 (age 66 years), Started the band in 1975 and has never left
    Dave Murray - Guitarist Born: December 23, 1956 (age 65 years), 1976-1977, 1978- present
    Adrian Smith - Guitarist Born: February 27, 1957 (age 65 years), 1980-1990, 1999-present
    Janick Gers - Guiarist Born: January 27, 1957 (age 65 years), 1990 - present
    Nicko McBrain - Drums Born: June 5, 1952 (age 70 years), 1982 - present
    The next songs I'd recommend are Rime of the Ancient Mainer - LiveFlight666, Fear of the Dark Live Rock in Rio 2001, The Trooper (Live After Death 1985),
    Iron Maiden -- Phantom of the Opera (Live at the Rainbow 1980 - with first singer Paul DiAnno, The Clansman - Rock In Rio 2001 9/16,

    Highlight of songs I'd recommend are:
    From Iron Maiden------
    Phantom of the Opera - A must for live version
    Strange World (this one will be totally different Iron Maiden)
    From Killers ------
    Murders in the Rue Morgue (Very loosely influenced by Edgar Allen Poe's short story, a story of a fugitive being sought for murder) ***You have done

    Innocent Exile (continues the theme of Murders in the Rue Morgue of an unjustly accused fugitive)
    Killers (A journey into the twisted mind of a deranged killer)
    Prodigal Son(about a repentant man reminiscent of the prodigal son parable found in Luke 15 of the bible)

    From Piece of Mind------
    Where Eagles Dare (based on an Alistair Maclean novel, (1967), and film (1968) about a WWII rescue of an American general from a Nazi stronghold in the Bavarian Alps

    Flight of Icarus (loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus)
    The Trooper (based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854,which took place during the Crimean War)

    Bruce Dickinson is so multi-talented, having written books, prose and poems that reflect and represent his artistic genius. Iron Maiden are the epitome oh Heavy Metal music, so orchestral and symphonic in sound and their songs and lyrics (thinking about Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner) are timeless works of art.

    Bruce Dickinson really impresses people when they listen to him. He can be a story teller, sing higher, sing lower, belt like a beast and then lightly lull people with beautiful singing/vibrato - all while running around stage like a 5 year old! 4 decades later - yup - still doing it.
    Fear of the Dark live is a soul filling experience. The Trooper gets the blood pumping. You will find that Iron Maiden does a lot of songs about historical people/events. Try the song Paschendale live for a great story of a WWI battle. Iron Maiden always impresses with their composition, meter changes and (haunting) guitar work with a rock solid bass/drum foundation.

    This was recorded at Long Beach Arena in 1985 and, if I'm not mistaken, this was the fourth night of a 4 night sold out show at this location so by this time his voice was pretty tired but he was still able to pull it off pretty well. He is a vocal icon in the Metal world!!

    if you're dwelling into rock and metal, rob halford from judas priest and Ronnie James Dio are great example of how metal and rock singers can develop so many different uses for their voices.

    The Singer - Bruce Dickinson is by far the best singer the band has ever had. Diano and Bailey pulled their stint in the band and now we once again have the Singer, back out front. God Bless Him, the man has been thru Cancer, bad hair days and prolly something I am not mentioning.
    As you are a New Fan, don't shame yourself for beginning to look for Vynil records or even old 45s'. They're out there but you got to look for em.
    Dear Voice Teacher - Your facial expressions were not unexpected. Showing, of course, you have a beautiful smile and Bruce Dickinson deserves every smile he gets!!! Please keep reviewing IRON MAIDEN and telling your fascination with the band and of course the singer,
    Oh yeah, lets not forget your smile!!!
