Yeah, 3 guitarists...one left, was replaced, came back, and Maiden made the most-metal decision, "Fuck it, we now have 3."
😂 A very metal decision 🤘
It works well to have a third with all the harmonies they do so they can have a rhythm guitar under the two harmonizing
Steve Harris wanted 3 guitars in the beginning ('70's)
Bruce Dickinson - 747 captain (also 757), PhD in History, Olympic standard fencer, and lead vocalist of one of the biggest metal bands in history..... I mean, that doesnt suck
I would consider that a successful life
@@Greatmeasures yeah, definitely not wasted 🤣 by the way - I think you'd like Gethsemane by Nightwish (Live Buenos Aires 2018)..... very classical
@@davidellinsworth3299 thanks for the suggestion! 🤘
Bruce Dickinson and Brian May could rule the world. And I'm ok with that
@@ramshackleshack751 me too
As Scott Ian once said. Steve Harris’s right hand is the very definition of Metal.
Originally Maiden was 5 members...2 guitarists - Dave Murray, Adrian Smith (sort of because there were also earlier incarnations of the band and other members...but these are the main guys). Then in 1990 Smith left the band and Janick Gers joined the band (long hair blond guy who is very animated and runs around a lot). Then in 1999 Adrian Smith came back to Maiden and they kept Gers and went with the three lead guitarists - Murray, Smith, and Gers
Also interesting he noticed Adrian not playing a solo in this song, because he doesn't solo in any of the songs from the era he was away.
Another interesting fact: Adrian joined Bruce Dickinson on his solo albums and tours while they were both out of Maiden in the 90’s. In 99 they returned on the album Brave New World
Dennis Straton was on the first album as well.
@@detonationcrusteryes, with Murray. Adrian arrived on the second album.
@@ruipeixoto5737 his punishment, due! Mwu-hahaha... Mwu-hahaha hahaha hahahaha!! 😈
Steve Harris is the best all time.
Iron Maiden - Empire of the clouds. Alot of piano, great solos and a historic masterpiece. Jetson would love that one.
Yes that’s a great song for him to check out
Adrian smith left the band in late 1989. After the Seventh Son of a Seventh son tour in 1988 was over with. Maiden had a break from the band. Smith did a solo project called ASAP. Was unhappy with the Musical direction the band was taking. Left the band during the preproduction off the No prayer for the dying album. The one who replaced Smith was Janick Gers. Made fame by playing into Ian Gillan his solo band called Gillan in the early 80YS, And later on with helping Bruce Dickinson out with his first solo album. Gers joined in early 1990. Dickinson left in 1993 after the Fear off the dark world tour. Both Smith and Dickinson came back into Iron Maiden somewhere in 1999. Instead off sacking Gers, Maiden opted to move on from a 2 Lead guitar band and create a 3 piece guitar band.(called "The Three Amigos"), so they would be able to expand on the guitar melody and writing part. they first did a short tour in 1999 to celebrate Smith and Dickinson were back in the band. Early 2000 the band created Brave new World. the first album as a 3 piece guitar band and with Dickinson back. Played the Rock in Rio festival in 2001, As the last show off the Brave new world tour 250.000 people were there. that summs it up mostly.
Awesome! Thanks!
Janick played on Bruce's first solo record, Tattooed Millionaire, which was more of a hard rock record that anything he'd done in Maiden. There's a great cover of All the Young Dudes on it. After Adrian left, Bruce suggested that Janick join. When Bruce left in '93, Janick stayed with Maiden. Adrian and Bruce came back together for two of his solo records, Accident of Birth (1997) and The Chemical Wedding (1998). By this time, Maiden were looking to move on from their singer Blaze Bayley, as the two records they released were did not live up to the previous albums. I believe that the idea was first mentioned by Maiden's long-time manager Rod Smallwood, just exploring the possibility. The offer was made to Bruce and Adrian to come back together. Steve and Bruce met in an empty pub, with Rod along. When asked about Janick's status, Steve said the band would have three guitarists if Adrian was agreeable. No one was getting fired.
Rhyme of the ancient mariner (live version Flight 666) is a Must! Awesome reaction.
Empire of Clouds or Hell on Earth would be a great next choice
Empire of the Clouds for sure!
Bruce is a modern Renaissance man. He is a pilot (flying 737's, 747's, 757's, and other aircraft), a world class fencer (back in the 80's he would coordinate the tours around his fencing championships and practice during sound checks), an entrepreneur (launched an aircraft maintenance business in 2012), he's a T.V. and Radio host, a writer (with multiple books a scripts under his belt), an actor in his early years and very theatrical on stage, at one point a college professor, he helped to create the Trooper beer. He is also cancer survivor.
And when he has some free time, he is the lead singer for one of the greatest metal bands ever. Bruce is a living legend. Up The Irons!
Maiden is the best metal band, period. You can check the rime of the ancient mariner next
Next Maiden reaction should be Rime of the Ancient Mariner from the Flight 666 DVD. Thats an epic performance by the band.
Judson reached for the piano 10 seconds into the song, that’s a good sign😅
Rime of the ancient mariner Is a must
This is the best live song ever when it comes to crowd involvement (by any band)
Excellent choice guys 🤘
listen to goldilox by kings x live the crowd sings the entire song even cutting dug pinnock off as he begins to sing
how much I love this song and Ironmaiden. Try bards song with BlindGuardian
You also might enjoy RUSH live in RIO YYZ
The version from "Rock in Rio" is even more animated.....th-cam.com/video/PpbnubVOjPY/w-d-xo.html
@@frankhermansen243 i was about to comment something similar... the 2016 Wacken video with the bard's song and valhalla by blind guardian
i yet have to see anything being close to that, when it comes to crowd involvement
This concert was santiago , chile 👋👋🇨🇱🇨🇱
This song live in a big audience, it doesn’t get any better than that. It really makes everyone go mental. Just hear the crowd sing those guitar/vocal melodies, everywhere they play it. Being part of that crowd, that it is the essence of metal to me. The interaction between the band and the crowd through that song is mind blowing.
This has to be my favourite Iron Maiden song it’s so atmospheric and so calm but then comes in so abruptly.
Please listen to “Dance of Death” from the Death on the Road live DVD!
an easy recommend is Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Flight 666)
My favorite music I it's wasted years... But one more time I am wait and expected for The Mars Volta reaction..
Wow, you nailed the meaning of the song. It's really about the fear of the unknown!
I recommend every song from their 'Rock 'n' Rio' in 2001 and of their concert at Ullevi, Gothenburg 2005. I also recommend the songs 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' (Live from the Flight 666 DVD) and 'Infinite Dreams" and 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' (live in the Maiden England concert, 1988).
I saw Maiden Headline Monsters of Rock Fest in Donnington England touring this album in '92 It was, and still is the best big outdoor production I have ever seen. THUMBS UP FOR THE BANTER BEFORE....👍
Funny how this song 🎵 eventually took on a life of its own, Bruce’s opening screech signaling the takeoff 🛫 of the song if you will & crowd participation is absolutely magical & magnificent! A perfect song to post on Hallows Eve !!!
💀👻🎃
something I love about Fear of the Dark is that the crowd never used to sing along to the melody parts but at some point over the years they started and now the band have made it an integral part of the show wtih Bruce directing
How fortunate we are that this group of incredibly talented musicians got together and provided us with their genius compositions.
Next should be When the wild wind blows live from en vivo. Great long song with a lot of tempo changes
All the guitarists have blonde hair 😂 During the solos the first player was Janick, then Dave and then Adrian. Great reaction guys, much ❤
That’s the nicest sounding piano I have heard in a very long time.
Good Mythical morning have really let themselves go!
You were watching En Vivo from 2011.
Adrian Smith returned to the band in 1999. Janick Gers, the man who replaced him in 1990 (the "tall blonde guy") remained so the three guitar lineup was formed. The apex concert of that reunion era was Rock In Rio 2001 where one of the best Fear of The Dark versions was recorded. You were probably thinking about that performance.
Fear of the duuuuuck!
You guys are so funny, I really enjoy your reactions 😄
It’s a nice format!
Thank you!
Dance of Death live reaction would be great
Amazing show in Santiago 💯🤟❤️🤩
Now THAT is a reaction! ❤
Much kudos fellas 🤗
my Country!! :CL:
Maiden are one of the best (if not the best) musicians that balance heaviness with a lot of melody, even the heavy parts are melodic, and known for the transitions (often) like you experience an interesting journey, their songs structures are great, meaningful, emotional and unique, their baselines are prominent and great, their melodies are great. In general, they are unique, melodic, innovative, heavy, emotional, beautiful, powerful at the same time! Steve Harris is influenced by 70’s progressive rock a lot and hard rock, like Wishbone Ash (Argus), Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Genesis, YES, etc.
That was the funniest "proceed, Richard" section in the whole series 😂😂
Woww great pianist 👏👏👏
Classic Metal
This is a great channel.
Adrian didn't do a guitar solo because when this album was recorded he had been out of the band at that time.
Richard what a great Halloween trio of videos you came up with!! So awesome!! Love this!! Judson - live hearing you play all things Halloween on the piano in these videos
Adrian Smith and Bruce returned to the band in 1999.
Iron Maiden has maintained 3 guitars since.
You know, back then I thought "how the hell are they going to make it work with that many guitars?", but damn, do they make it work.
Adrian Smith ( Les Paul head band guy) Left in the 90s, replaced by the guy with the longest blond hair, Janick Gers. Bruce the singer left a few years later. Bruce and Adrian both came back to the band in 2000 with the album Brave New World. Instead of firing Janick Gers, they decided to keep him and have three guitars from then. Awesome! Look up Rock In Rio ( 2000 or 2001 ) for that concert footage.
The harp twins do a cover of this.
We saw them in concert. They were amazing 😍.
Up The Irons 🤘
Great...
Bruce D. has also recorded a couple of solo albums, can't recommend enough, especially The Chemical Wedding.
How good is Bruces solo stuff! It is great, especially his last three. He has a new solo album coming out early next year😜 I can't wait👏
Do Tears of the Dragon!
And full album version please
steve on bass started it. dave on far left was earliest and his friend adrian in middle joined. then he left and jannick on the end, the dancing one was added. adrian came back and they kept jannick. they all do solos. bruce flies ed force 1 flight 666. he also has a career as a professional passenger jet pilot.
Aaahooooh werewolves of London!
You guys make a great team😀
They ripped it up. Love 'em.
Another really fun video! Great content! A band suggestion, just because it's so so jazzy, is Car Bomb! The rhythmic complexity of that band and how tight they stay in the pocket is mind blowing to me. I would highly recommend reacting to any of their live performances!
The bass, the bass - Steve Harris drives this band - the signing of Bruce completed the band.
Would love to see a reaction to Hell on Earth by Iron Maiden. This is one of their most recent songs and in my opinion one of their bests. Happy Halloween!
Great channel sunscribed.
'The unknow pursuit on you' I never seen it like that. Thank you SIR, brings other feelings up, make me think...
Great reaction!
Fear of the Fart was great! Thanks!
The studio is getting better! Keep pushing my friends.
Thank you! 🤘
The best version of this song is from 27 August 1992
in Helsinki Ice Hall, Finland. The greatest live performance from Iron Maiden, look it up.
Fun fact is that during the Somewhere Back in Time tour (setlist with only songs from 80s) at the very first show they didnt play Fear of the Dark. It’s song from 92’ album so the reasons are obvious. But because fans were so upset of that, the band decided to put this song on setlist. You heard Rime of the Ancient Mariner recorded on that tour. And another fun fact: that tour was my first gig ever, i came there by accident, made me metalhead and Iron Maiden is my fav band ever.
Guys .. if you didnt know this was aired 20 years ago back in 2003...my god has time flown by...I still remember me and my late wife dancing in our living room to the dvd of this concert when it first came out
Someone is always there .. Its that other you in your head.. That voice that speaks to you.. Always lurking in your head and listening and judging and waiting for a weakness so it can pounce on you when you feel weak and insecure...yes my friends the real monsters live inside us...
Hearing your fingers dance out that tune on the ivories, so embedded in so many of our minds as the kickarse anthem of our youths...was just delightful & sublime & all of the other pretentious, multi-syllabic adjectives...! 🌝 ...+ experience.
It was a delight to hear... I know, it was surely just a simplified ditty to you...but the piano is such a grand (pardon pun, not intended), gorgeous instrument...
I rue the day I quit as a child (but, of course!🤦♂️) - as was forewarned by mine wise elders..- forsaking the , then unappreciated opportunity of private lessons on my fathers medium-sized (which was actually enormous!), shiny, black, grand piano...for the allure of the electric guitar - a 2nd hand Stratocaster copy, in my case, bought with 70 of my hard earned lawn mowing and factory painting dollars...
I certainly cant regret teaching myself the guitar - my greatest , perhaps only! , hobby still, some 30 odd years later..
But the melancholic lament that besets mine heart at the mournful sounds of a piano...playing through the chords & melody of a particularly poignant passage...
'Tis without peer nor parallel!
'Tis quite the emotive instrument, and - in the right hands - can elicit a long-winded, ponderous, perhaps pretentious - extended rant..
...but a pleb who fancies himself a fancy pants! ☺️
'Tis I!
........... 'Tis I !!! 🌝☺️😄🤣
I love you guys. Please take this as constructive... and not merely criticism; if a voice is panning left when the person speaking is to our 'visual right', that is off-putting. I KNOW, I KNOW... who's the hater? That's just it - I'm not hating. I'd rather you guys sort that out. Hell, I'd happily edit your videos, if I were to be so lucky (paid, of course).
It's because I enjoy your content so much that I had to say this.
Please don't hate me.
Dance of Death is another good one
You should react to more live versions from Latinoamérica, speceally Argentina ones. Crowds like these are the best part ♥
jajajajajajajaa
You guys are awesome, love your channel and reactions. The Legend Iron Maiden❤ You have to check out this Live *Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death - En Vivo!*
Love your videos and chemistry guys and most of the metal bands that you play. :)
I think Judson might like Cult of Luna, they use 3 guitars and keyboard with some parts all have individual roles, very long songs, but the vocals are on the harsh side.
Might wanna start with the song A Better Call which features also singer Julie Christmas.
Dude is spot on
Chile ctm
BRASIL 🇧🇷👍🤘
I thought the intro was too "happy", good that Judson put a little bit of Halloween to the end ! Fear of the dark, well, I´ve probably heard it too many times in these 30+ years after release, good song, but worn. For me that is. But never too worn to watch reactions of first timers !!! And that En Vivo live is every time so impressive, thank you Chile !
I was gonna say you have to watch a live version right before you said it rock in rio 2001 is legendary tho
Progressive/melodic heavy metal is probably a good description of Iron Maiden through the decades.
Always one HELL of a live show.
The later albums (i believe from Dance of Death in 2003, might have been later) have been recorded with most of the takes being the whole band recorded at the same time to get that real tight band feeling and with a bit of the live magic.
They really are a live band, if you can catch a live Maiden show... DO IT! It's just such a whole-stadium feeling and you'll go back and appreciate their whole VAST catalog of albums with even more appreciation.
4:20 "They are always on point, always..." Yeap!
Please someone remake Werewolves of London... Manson could prob do it justice 🤘...
he absolutely must listen to dance of death
jajjaj you made me laugh jajajajaj Thanks
This performance was in Chile
Great song and the bass player is a legend triplets all the way . Maiden rules pride if UK metal
Great reaction! I suggest to do Question! by SOAD next
It's a great video to get a sense of a great experience of a great IM concert. However, I think a classical musician should first react to hearing the album version of this great song.
Great reaction! But there are much better Iron Maiden songs to be analyzed such as: Phantom of the Opera (from the album Live After Death), Remember Tomorrow, Killers, The Prisoner, 22 Acacia Avenue, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Children of the Damned, The Number of the Beast, Where Eagles Dare, Revelations (from the album Live After Death), Flight of Icarus, To Tame a Land, Cross-Eyed Mary (Jethro Tull cover), Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Flash of the Blade, The Duellists, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High, Losfer Words (Big 'Orra), Alexander the Great, Caught Somewhere in Time, Wasted Years, Stranger in a Strange Land, Infinite Dreams, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son...Greetings from Brazil!!!
Dante's inferno by Iced Earth
Fear of the Duck!!!
🤩👌💥💯🎶
*UPTHEIRONS*
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
I highly recommend 22 Acacia Avenue from Number of the beast album. Both the album version and the 82' Hammersmith version is fantastic!
UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘
love you guys he will love Dream Theaters " Take the Time"
Iron Maiden was the 'entry point' to my aural abuse, that is metal. Haha!
I believe Bruce Dickinson was opera-trained, and it shows, if true.
I'm glad you love longer format songs, I would love for you guys to react to Between the Buried and Me's "Specular Reflection" or "Never Seen/Future Shock." I know you weren't too sold on Selkies but that was BTBAM's earlier work. The main reason I love this band so much is because of their constant improvement and trying to explore different genres in their songs.
BTW, these songs have little or no sweep arpeggios, Judson. Haha!
Also, "Great... Measures..." :D
Take your talent and ...hahaha, Great One Again from Great Yawnings, you guys tired? Doesnt matter, i listen to you no matter what. Good stuff!
Mastodon - The Czar react PLEASE!
I think there's a lot more interesting rock and metal choices to play for a classical musician than what you're giving him. Damn, I can think of 50 other Maiden songs that are more interesting.
Agreed. FOTD was way past their prime and into their pop metal years.
@@signedupfordoconly4275Maiden never played pop metal.
Next song Iron Maiden with Classical musician reacts must be -> Wasted Years
🤘🤘🤘
Iron Maiden were the first to bring back former guitarists, the German Speed/Power/HeavyMetal band later repeated it and are still doing it, including all former singers, that's what distinguishes Iron Maiden from Helloween in that respect
