You are more right than you know , Iron maiden the band is part of a company called , iron maiden holdings , everything to do with iron maiden goes through maiden holdings , all the merch at the shows , the multiple versions of figures that get made , the trooper ale ,etc etc . People often don't see how clever maiden as a business has been for years , think about this , when they released number of the beast they did a picture disc album , two 7 inch picture disc singles,ltd run of coloured vinyl albums , and the regular black vinyl and tapes ,( when vinyl and tapes were the thing ) if you liked maiden you were buying the single and the single picture disc and so on ,so for one album a fan buys the two singles ,the 2 picture disc singles , the album and the pic version and more than likely the coloured vinyl to , that's how you sell records , brilliant buisniss move .
@@aboutthemetal8783 you write this as if this was some sort of insider secret which almost nobody knows. They're passionate artists, of course, but it also is their job and they do it to make a living. Of course it's a business.
@@ba55bar me to , I actually admire the professionalism , to think that all of this started as one guys dream to play the music he heard in his mind to the masses is amazing .
Man! The " dollars" is nothing! Wath they do hear is History! Spirituality I can say! So sorry for the age & time that change a lot for everyone. When in fact the people that have nothing to say have to give their credit to the one who has to say a lot!!!! Like Iron Maiden for example!!!
38 years ago I was drawing Iron Maiden on the cover of my high school notebook. After all these years, here I am, still supporting and enjoying my favorite band.
I just love how iron maiden shows to theirs fans how all the magic happens. Since always they have this culture of showing the wonderful backstage job that is done. Love this band!!!!
Thanks, Bruce, for showing us what it takes to be one of the greatest rock singers in history, making sure each and every performance is "A" No. 1 and provides an unforgettable memory for your audiences.
This guy is simply the most serious and funny guy at the same time. He acts so friendly and professional. This Maiden machine ist one of the most important companions of my live. Thank you from Germany for so many years of wonderful music. Yesterday my 11 years old son logged into my car music while I was driving home. His choice, turning up the volume, was ….. Fear of the dark. We were 3 minutes away from home. I made 7 senseless turns around our home to to keep us rocking within the car until the song ends. Thats what Maiden stands for.
It moves me to tears. I have goosebumps wtching how they get old in such a dignified manner, but also because of the fact that one day sooner or later we will have to part. They have been with me almost my entire life so I'm taking my five year old son to the next gig as I know it can be the only one he'll ever see. He's a big fan❤️🤘
@@ekolog8201 Just think they are in their mid 60's, Nicko being 70. I think it's the last album. They'd have to release a new album now or next year which is highly doubtful with ongoing tour. I think that as soon as they finish touring (maybe in 2 yrs' time) they will announce retirement.
I fully get this!! They've been a near constant companion since I was about 14 (in 1983) Latest show just last night in Manchester and they were as good as they've ever been, even better, if anything. They genuinely make me so happy I could cry. Nicko was visibly in tears as he left the stage last night, that could have been just because you could really sense the extra love in the air for him so I'm sure he did too, I hope so. To quote Bruce at the end, "We will definitely be back"...my personal thought is that they'll go through to 2025 and have a special 50th anniversary year. After that, who knows? Either way though, the thought of them not being active in the world is already upsetting...but when they do call it a day, they'll have given it everything, that much is certain! Up The Irons!
How very well put. I was at the show in Manchester on Friday and I agree they were better than they have ever been. I think they will tour again but as sad as it will be when they do call it a day us fans have to consider the band and not just be selfish. They have paid there dues and given us fans 200% over 40 odd years. Don’t be sad they have retired be glad we had them for so long!! Up the irons ❤️
Iron Maiden has been my all time favorite band ever since 1986 at just eight years old. Hallowed Be Thy Name is the first song I ever listened to, and it changed my life ever since. Even at eight years old I knew that Iron Maiden was extremely special . They are still a machine. UP THE IRONS!!
Good god!! Most 20 year olds wouldn't have this much stamina, energy, memory or will to perform a show like that, every night!! Up the irons maidens! 🤘
The amount of work and dedication they and their crew put into those tours is absolutely phenomenal. Truly one of the greatest metal bands and performers in history.
I absolutely love these guys and it's fascinating to get a glimpse behind the curtain! Knight these guys! They have done so much for English culture and history, from remembering famous battles to celebrating old poems, from pondering British legends to commemorating national tragedies. If they don't deserve a knighthood then nobody does.
Brian johnson and Angus young deserves them to without a doubt knighthood them they did so much for charity behind closed doors never want anything In return and they are like english Rose's all of them are knighthood acdc and iron maiden they have done so much for others in the past decades. I would love them to be a Museum of them in the uk celebrating I would love them to be more out their and getting the recognition they all deserve. I hope they all will both bands will one day
This is so much fun to watch! I love theater and these big dramatic shows definitely feel more like theater than just a rock/metal concert. Really immersive. The crew is amazing for pulling it off day after day. And the band has incredible energy. Bruce is such a showman.
My wife and I have seen them twice and they are inspirations for us to continue to stay in shape. They are so well spoken and these behind the scene tours have helped us to further enjoy the music and the art of story telling while making connections to those around us. Thank-you for sharing with us and Up The Irons.
Thank you to everyone in the Iron Maiden juggernaut for making these candid videos. So fantastic, a peek behind the curtain in this case makes it all even more magical.
I really, really enjoyed these look through the keyhole backstage. Actually as much as enjoyed the concerts all this years. Please, please give us an EDDIE VERSION of this! 😏
We need to see Janicks, Daves, Adrians and Steves guitar and bass rigs. We have now seen Nickos and Bruces rigs/behind the scenes so now it's time to do the others.
There's no other metal bands that write epic music, lyrics that tell an awesome story and then present those stories on stage with amazing backdrops, props, special effects and of course Eddie! Would love to see Rime of the ancient mariner. Ship deck, dead crewmen, backdrop of the ocean, grim reaper. Endless possibilities ^_^
Incredible. As a lead guitar player/singer, I can definitely relate to the hardships of singing. Hardest thing I've ever done is being a singer, a lot goes into it. Bruce is one of the best!
I love this stuff. So fun to see a little bit behind the scenes. I can't believe how Bruce can sing like a rock god, while at the same time running around, working his ass off between songs. Iron Maiden is without a doubt the best metal band in the world imho 🤘🤘🤘
Very big performance from bruce he is pretty tough at his age you need lots of force and streith to do a show like this congrats iron maiden. Up the iron🤟🏼🤟🏼🇨🇦
well done bruce the band and all the crew. in my opinion the best heavy metal band that will ever exist. best lead vocalist. cheers lads and lasses. hallowed be thy name . my favorite
Amazing stuff! And after all that, you’re still able to go onstage and perform to thousands so brilliantly! Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, are absolutely EPIC in every sense of the word!
I have always loved iron maiden all of there music is a composition of skill and art and true happy passion I wish I could see them in person ❤️ it would truly make me happy forever
I wish we coud have one of this to each member in every tour, simply AWESOME!!!! Great job Maiden Crew, you guys rock on this!! Keep going with this forever, we love Maiden backstage!! Up The Irons!!!
It’s a shame we had this tour cancelled here in Australia, was really looking forward too this whole production of songs I grew up with , 🤞fingers crossed maiden tour here soon
Thanks Bruce!!! Wonderful behind the scenes! I need to see your show again! I remember you wearing a light up jacket a few years back. I thought it was the coolest jacket ever! Love your voice!
The whole band should do more videos like this. I've been watching maiden since probably 83. They're even in my high school senior yearbook is being my favorite band.
A lot of bands are happy with playing their way through a backing track, and letting video screens / projectors do a lot of the "awe" for them. Not Maiden though... They do it proper, old school; it's like a fucking theatre performance.
Hey Bruce we will see you this year in Leipzig 🎸🎸 Last year we've been in Stuttgart. That was the best Concert of my life ever. Thank you for your great metal and all the best for you 🤘
The man is so fit for his age and all the work that goes on in the back for a show... And after coming back from cancer in all places his throat...Legends they are a fan since 85...
Thank you Bruce for giving a rundown of how you go through the gigs during the tour. Legacy was such a fantastic tour and I enjoyed every show I got to see during it. You are a phenomenal singer and performer and I hope you continue to go on for many more years. Iron Maiden is a wonderful band and I appreciate the effort every member and crew go through to make the show go on. Happy Holidays Iron Maiden. Look forward to seeing you guys live again on the next tour.
Nice! I always loved this kind of content. Would have blown my mind 25 years ago when I was a teenager and Maiden and the world of concert production was a new thing to me.
You will live forever in our hearts guys! I wish to see you in Brazil with the Future Past Tour!!! Merry Christmas and God bless you all and your family!!!
This is not just a band. It's a whole company running in the back. Thank you for showing us a bit of the work that is done to please us, the fans.

How in the hell does Bruce manage to have that much energy? The guy is a one off ❤
I've been at 3 Maiden concert. Always wondered how the hell he changes his clothes so fast. Great videos. Best group ever.
Now you know he has a women helping him
@@gerardomusano6919 kih3
Maiden fan for 40 years. Amazing how athletic and theatrical Bruce’s performances are!
Judas Priest
Passed cancer.... What can we say?! Some people in this world live their life like they are living 5 or 10 in the same life!
They deserve every single dollar! What an effort!!
Man! The " dollars" is nothing! Wath they do hear is History! Spirituality I can say! So sorry for the age & time that change a lot for everyone. When in fact the people that have nothing to say have to give their credit to the one who has to say a lot!!!! Like Iron Maiden for example!!!
Always enjoy spending time with Bruce only wish this was longer
But those stairs do not look safe
38 years ago I was drawing Iron Maiden on the cover of my high school notebook. After all these years, here I am, still supporting and enjoying my favorite band.
Same here , just 28 years ago I was doing the same thing and now went to the concert with my son...up the Irons 🤘🏻😎
I just love how iron maiden shows to theirs fans how all the magic happens. Since always they have this culture of showing the wonderful backstage job that is done. Love this band!!!!
Thanks, Bruce, for showing us what it takes to be one of the greatest rock singers in history, making sure each and every performance is "A" No. 1 and provides an unforgettable memory for your audiences.
IRON MAIDEN without a shadow of a doubt THE BEST metal band in existence full stop.....no other band comes even remotely close.....
I wish you long life Bruce! There is no Iron Maiden without you!
The best band ever. I see in Lj 2023 my 13th times. Yeah.... Great Bruce, awesome Iron Maiden ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, 13th times. I thought mine 3 is something. 😁
Slayer
YES!! Loved that video. All those flippin steps Bruce has to keep running up/ No wonder he so slim.
Next year in Ljubljana, will be my 4th time 😃
I love Bruce's Eddie Christmas sweater 😂🤘🔥

Consummate pro, still having fun, and still adjusting and letting the show evolve even with the careful planning it all takes. Bloody brilliant.
Wow, he’s not just a singer, he is an actor! A storyteller to be exact.
I hope God keeps them in good shape for many many more years so they keep amazing us with their great songs and presence. Up the irons!
You are everything one band should be. It's no coincidence that Maiden is what he is. The best band in the world. THE Band.
Iron Maiden has been my all time favorite band ever since 1986 at just eight years old. Hallowed Be Thy Name is the first song I ever listened to, and it changed my life ever since. Even at eight years old I knew that Iron Maiden was extremely special . They are still a machine. UP THE IRONS!!
Loved both parts!Thank you,Bruce!!!❤❤
The Greatest Band Ever
Slayer
@@robertwalker3357 as much as I like Slayer, Iron Maiden is by far a much better band.
Queen were the best band ever, Maiden close second.
I did some solid research on this topic and it came to my attention that Iron Maiden is in fact the greatest band ever…
And dnt u ever ever ever forget that...
Maiden for life
Good god!! Most 20 year olds wouldn't have this much stamina, energy, memory or will to perform a show like that, every night!!
Up the irons maidens! 🤘
Thanks Bruce for showing us your process behind the scenes! Totally cool! I saw the show in Tampa and it was awesome. Up The Irons!! \m/
What a TREAT to see what Bruce and the Crew do every night between songs. These people are all amazing.
The amount of work and dedication they and their crew put into those tours is absolutely phenomenal. Truly one of the greatest metal bands and performers in history.
I really respect how Bruce and crew make a point to not make the Trooper flag moment awkward in certain countries. Very cool
I hope they make a live album of their 2022 tour and I went to Worcester to see them live. Greatest night of my life.
Iron Maiden have been with me all my adult life, and i was 50 this year....Their WORK ETHIC is inspirational
Thank you Bruce for all the great music 🎶 🎵 🙏
The show was spectacular. Happy Holidays to you and the entire Maiden Family!

Amazing stuff! And after all that, you’re still able to go onstage and perform to thousands so brilliantly! Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, are absolutely EPIC in every sense of the word!

I first saw Iron Maiden 40 years ago . And Im still along for the ride
Awesome......what a rocknroll institution
Saw their Somewhere in Time concert and Seventh Son concert right before I left for the Army. Great send off. My favorite band of all time.
Thanks Bruce!!! Wonderful behind the scenes! I need to see your show again! I remember you wearing a light up jacket a few years back. I thought it was the coolest jacket ever! Love your voice!
You have to hand it to Bruce , at 64 , his energy levels are amazing.
He looks knackered at the end 🤣
I've seen Maiden live many times, and I've never seen Bruce give less than 100%. The man is a force of nature!
Ive loved this, I’ve watched you lads since 1983 and this was a great insight into what is actually involved in your live shows…love it..
The whole band should do more videos like this. I've been watching maiden since probably 83. They're even in my high school senior yearbook is being my favorite band.

Was at this show in Newark. My first Maiden show. PHENOMENAL! UP THE IRONS!!!!
Congratulations @Bruce👏👏
At about 3:22 he clearly says "Thank You" to the lady helping him. Bruce, and all the boys are just amazing.
Bruce, that's very interesting to see the behind the scenes footage on what you go through for an Iron Maiden show.
Hey Bruce we will see you this year in Leipzig 🎸🎸
Last year we've been in Stuttgart. That was the best Concert of my life ever. Thank you for your great metal and all the best for you 🤘
I want that Powerslave jumper Brucie wears at the beginning of the video! It’s awesome!
The man is so fit for his age and all the work that goes on in the back for a show... And after coming back from cancer in all places his throat...Legends they are a fan since 85...
Iron Maiden is a Great Band Live! Plus, My Favorite Metal Band 🤩
great sweater!!!
"And that's it..." Until tomorrow when we do ALL of it again. And again. And again...
True showman!
I love Maiden and how much they’ve enriched my life over the past 35 years. Up the F’n Irons!!!!

We can always win the 'most talented band' discussion at a party with "the singer captained a Boeing 767 and a 747 around the world on a few tours". 😏
Nice! I always loved this kind of content. Would have blown my mind 25 years ago when I was a teenager and Maiden and the world of concert production was a new thing to me.
