in the 80's High school teachers were perplexed on how the METALHEADS and STONERS were getting good grades in one subject. History. Thank You Iron Maiden!
There's a reason why I learned this song. The final lyrics are so powerful. Through all that winning someone who seemed like a God died of a fever. UP THE IRONS!
Seeing them live is crossed off of my bucket list. Front stage in Buffalo NY one year ago. I finally got to see them at 43 years old. Fucking amazing show.
Para los que nos gusta iron maiden cada que escuchemos su musica disfrutemosla porque no creo que volbamos a tener otra banda que se le acerque ha tanto talento
You know what man, I envy you. I've heard nearly every iron maiden song so many times. I love them all, but to be able to experience any of them again for the first time... Oh man... I can't wait to see you journey through their catalogue. Maiden has got to be my favorite band. They are the only band I can think of where every. Single. Song. Is amazing. It doesn't matter if it's Bruce Paul or Blaze, there is not one bad song in their entire catalogue. Every song is at the very least good. Hope one day you put down the 20 minutes it takes to adventure through Empire of the Clouds off their newest album
If you want another history lesson, react to Paschendale Iron Maiden - Live at Death on the Road. It describes the horror and bloodshed of WW1 and is a fantastic song. The cymbals are meant to portray morse code and the drums were written like bombs falling. I love the live version.
You hit the nail on the head when you said “You feel like the music touches you” that is how I feel when I hear Iron Maiden. Best description I have ever heard about music. Love your reactions!
You need to listen to the whole album, Somewhere in Time. The guitars, the solos alone, are from another planet.I just love that album...Thanks for the reaction video! 👍
I love how Iron Maiden isn't just a band of gifted musicians and great performers. They transform history and great literature into legendary songs of power. I'm sure many Maiden fans have been led into appreciating such subjects, via songs like this. Not only are they awesome as a metal/rock band, but they also contribute to classical education.
When I started listening to Iron Maiden 25 years ago this was one of my least favourite songs, now it's TOP 5. ;D Music taste changes as you get older.
I remember when this album came out and fans were hating on the guitar syths, but this album has 3 of my fav Maiden songs. "Wasted Years", "Alexander The Great", and "Stranger In A Strange Land". Also, Adrian Smith is the shit!

This kind of song would never get air time because the stations want 3 minutes songs. This is why Iron Maiden is beloved because they succeeded without commercial air waves.

"Near to the East, in a part of Ancient *GREECE* in an ancient land called *MACEDONIA* 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷" Η Μακεδονία ήταν, είναι και θα είναι για πάντα ελληνική!! Greetings from Argentina to all my Greek friends.
I have been an Iron Maiden Fan since i was 10. Now almost 50. I don't think that the youth of today would have any concept or knowledge of what music even is . Like you said "Some songs don't even need lyrics". The instruments are actually telling the story too. And you can hear the battles and fear of the people. Thanks Ru Keep doing what you do.
Sign of the Cross is the first Maiden song I ever heard. I found The X Factor (used, it was actually the owner's kid's originally lol) at a corner store. The rest of the album wasnt really that remarkable but Sign of the Cross drew me in, especially as an aspiring bass player myself Then this version with Bruce from Rock in Rio dropped... Sorry Blaze, hes got you beat man
@@Nisi1Funny stuff 'cause my brother used to own The X Factor and the first Maiden song I've ever listened to was precisely Sign of the Cross when I was ten, I immediately fell in love with iron Maiden.
I love that version, but people always forget how good _'Dream of Mirrors'_ is from that same show. Both were never performed live again after that tour.
You said nobody requested it. Quite the opposite, it's probably the most requested Maiden tune on your channel. Next, I would recommend "Flight of Icarus."
Try iron Maiden paschendale or the nomad if you are into history. If you want to hear bruce rap, than song sacred cowboys IS your choice. Please listen to one of them.
To answer your question, there wouldn't be a band that came out with this sound today or ever. Iron Maiden have such a unique and trademark sound that it's impossible to come up with except them. That's what makes them so great!
Amen my friend I've been a fan since 1982 I met the band twice in 1987 on the Somewhere in Time tour you were just speaking about and they are amazing welcome to the fan club my friend welcome
Iron Maiden is STILL putting out great albums, and filling arenas around the world. If you've never seen them live, GO and check them out. They are every bit as good now, as they were in the 80's, on stage. So much energy, and killer stage show!
If a band came out with this music today it would blow everyone’s mind because Iron Maiden were pioneers in metal and had a lot of making it what it is today. So if they hadn’t came out and barely came out now everyone’s heads would literally explode. Maybe that’s just the die hard Maiden head in me but that’s my opinion lol
Preston, I have been a Maiden fan from the 80's and they are an amazing band. Study them, read Bruce's book "What Does This Button Do"? Nicko McBrain is a born again Christian and this group has truly made their mark in music history. They ARE incredible.
I always enjoy your reactions!! The thought that goes into Iron Maidens lyrics always astonishes me. It's usually something that makes you think or tells a story so vividly that you can almost see what they are talking about! Please react to their song Passchendale... It's another incredibly thought provoking song of theirs.. All the best to you!
You need to go see them live. Saw them two weeks ago in Philly, 3rd time I've seen them. After nearly 40 years of rocking, they still got it. To answer your question, they aren't well received, and never truly have been by radio stations. They get virtually no airplay, yet they still sell out shows worldwide. I doubt there are many bands out there that can make that claim. Up the Irons!! Keep on rocking, King
I love your reactions and comments. You “clearly” get it and appreciate Iron Maiden’s music. You are very detail oriented and it shows. There are so many aspects of their songwriting sets them apart and I am glad that you can see it. Have an awesome holiday and Merry Christmas 🎄
One of my favorites too. If you want to hear Bruce really showcase his vocals give a listen to " The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner". Thank You Sir!!
I love your reactions dude. It’s very clear to me that you actually get it. You pay attention to the detail and nevertheless appreciate the artist and the music. Cheers friend!!
Theses bands still exist. They are not embraced by the mainstream. Thanks to your channel and others like it perhaps the cream will rise to the top once again.
Great reaction! Love this song! History was always my fave subject - got my undergrad degree in history. I'd love for you to dreact to the live version of The Clansman. Pretty good history lesson there, too. Some others here also suggested Paschendale - a great song about WWI.
😊😃😎😎😎 I love, love, love your reaction to this song. I bought this on cassette tape, back in the dinosaur days of my youth, and proceeded to wear that tape out in two weeks time, on this song... This music if it were coming out today would get a following, but never to the level they achieved in the day. Listen to Somewhere In Time from front to back all in one sitting brother, it will become your favorite Iron Maiden album... I sometimes put on the headphones and play this album to fall asleep to. I have pain 24/7/365 from the CIDP I have and the nerve and pain meds make it hard to reach a deep, REM, sleep. This album is so smooth, in a heavy metal way that it relaxes my brain and body... Anyway, I ❤❤❤ this reaction...

in the 80's High school teachers were perplexed on how the METALHEADS and STONERS were getting good grades in one subject. History. Thank You Iron Maiden!
Lol. I know right!!!
Studies show Metalheads are actually the smartest when compared to other mainstream music genres
@@lisavranesevic5754 That's so true
Motherfuckers from my class say that metal don't learn me anything and they even listen to kpop and they even know who Hitler is
I submitted 'Civil War' by Guns n' Roses as my English essay. Got an A+. The teacher was blown away by "my" social awareness. :)
This singer is a beast! Even throat cancer lost against him. \m/
Bruce is a f...g legend.
The singer is a beast, i agree. He is EDDIE!!!!!!
Only 50% of this joke makes sense.
I saw them in Vegas a couple months ago. I gotta say, I think they're the best.
Truth!
Iron maiden is almost it's own music style. They're so damn unique. Love them and this tune just gets me everytime.
There's a reason why I learned this song. The final lyrics are so powerful. Through all that winning someone who seemed like a God died of a fever. UP THE IRONS!
Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams will touch your soul!
Great song
I request this all the time on so many reaction channels. Someone seriously needs to finally do it.
This song is criminally underrated!
I support this message 🤘🏻
I agree
I have a friend that wrote a history report on Alexander just using these lyrics, got an a!
I did too..i luv history
I would laugh until I was dead if I did that and got a good grade
Kinda sad though. This is accurate but leaves lots if important details out. Glad he got a good grade though!
Not sad at all, he had to do a report, not write a book.
@@jordansmith5754 how long did you want the song to be? lol
The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner is my favorite off of that album.
!Amen
Seeing them live is crossed off of my bucket list. Front stage in Buffalo NY one year ago.
I finally got to see them at 43 years old. Fucking amazing show.
Iron Maiden's Infinite Dreams, studio version with lyrics. Its amazing
So it the title track, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Amazing lyrics!
The live version is awesome too
I always thought Moonchild would be a great one for these people to look at.
My fave Maiden track ever!!!
Iron Maiden - Seventh son of a seventh son
Number one.
The prophecy is my fave on that album
He is not ready for that one yet
Iv requested the same quite a few times. Live on the maiden england tour..
Yes yes yes
Para los que nos gusta iron maiden cada que escuchemos su musica disfrutemosla porque no creo que volbamos a tener otra banda que se le acerque ha tanto talento
I grew up listening to Iron Maiden. It sparked so many subjects for research. I am now 50 years old and very grateful to this band.
You know what man, I envy you. I've heard nearly every iron maiden song so many times. I love them all, but to be able to experience any of them again for the first time... Oh man... I can't wait to see you journey through their catalogue.

Hope one day you put down the 20 minutes it takes to adventure through Empire of the Clouds off their newest album
dramatic, but true
I grew up listening to maiden but I agree. How awesome would it be to go back and hear them all for the first time.
Empire of the clouds is an absolute masterpiece.
The smiths also have a whole range of awesome songs but they are quite a different genre of music
I’d give a great deal to experience my musical library for the first time again.
If you want another history lesson, react to Paschendale Iron Maiden - Live at Death on the Road. It describes the horror and bloodshed of WW1 and is a fantastic song. The cymbals are meant to portray morse code and the drums were written like bombs falling. I love the live version.
The live version is awesome, but I think the studio version would be better because he can react to the lyrics.
Reaction of Paschendale's Live version with lyrics will be awesome.
The studio version has far greater dynamic range
The studio version is better.
Yes, Paschendale is a must
You hit the nail on the head when you said “You feel like the music touches you” that is how I feel when I hear Iron Maiden. Best description I have ever heard about music. Love your reactions!
I don't listen to them so often actually, but I can barely hold tears everytime I do
I was 14 when heard this song first time, back in 1988. A real shock for a teenager.
You need to listen to the whole album, Somewhere in Time. The guitars, the solos alone, are from another planet.I just love that album...Thanks for the reaction video! 👍
My favorite maiden album I got this cassette when I was 8 and rocked it every night to sleep lol
Over produced, bloated and self-satisfied.
Shame they play nothing more from this except of wasted years & Heaven can wait
Adrian The Metalhead Yeah, I agree. Imagine them opening with Caught somewhere in time again on a future tour.
@@geirydp that Would be great. I hope for an History Tour for SIT & the 90's but i think this will never happen. Or a new Album:)
One of the Best albums Ever !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 🎸 🎶
PaPaDew 1968. you Damn right
Every Iron Maiden song, "This might be my favorite Iron Maiden song." I love it. Lol. Peace.

Having a degree to start your comment does not give you an upper edge on or credence to

( With all due respect )
#2
YOU SAID
"" Socrates PROBABLY never existed ....""
PROBABLY sounds like maybe or an opinion and not CERTAINLY based on how you structured your comment
#3
There aren't many MODERN Scholars to question the FACT that Socrates existed
Socrates was a VERY WELL KNOWN figure at Athens during his own lifetime and his execution in
399 B.C
#4
Xenophon was a Greek philosopher and a commander
who EMPHATICALLY said Socrates was a REAL person AS WELL as
Plato another philosopher
#5 Aristophanes was a playwright who also PERSONALLY KNEW
Socrates and satirizes Socrates in three surviving plays WELL KNOWN during his lifetime
"" The Birds ""
"" The Frogs ""
"" The Clouds ""

We have additional playwrights of the time
Eupolis
Emeipsias
Theopompus

Please man!
He must listen to caught somewhere in time.
Somewhere in time....my personal favourite album of Maiden....and u forgot Sea of madness :)
Why not the complete "Somewhere In Time" album, then? ;-)

Iron Maiden - Empire of the clouds. An 18 minute history lesson
This kind of song would never get air time because the stations want 3 minutes songs. This is why Iron Maiden is beloved because they succeeded without commercial air waves.
More history lessons by Iron Maiden:
WW 1 - Paschendale
WW 2 - The longest day
There's something so cool about the way "The Longest Day" opens. The music is just brilliant. What a great song!
There also is aces high
definitely, it's my favourite song on that album@@keithholm7493

Even hit the thumbs up before watching so fast 👌😂😂.
If I may suggest: Iron maiden: The reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg.
Such an underrated song!!!
A matter of life and death is a really good album imo
Very good album
Yes!
Extremely Underrated song
My favorite off of AMOLAD
Also one I think he'd love lyrically is Rainmaker.
Benjamin Breeg is a must Preston!!!!

IRON MAIDEN IS AN INTELLIGENT BAND NOT JUST ROCKING....that's why my favorite band
There is a band today that makes songs mostly about historical events, Sabaton. Might wanna check 'em out.
You said nobody requested it. Quite the opposite, it's probably the most requested Maiden tune on your channel. Next, I would recommend "Flight of Icarus."

I have pain 24/7/365 from the CIDP I have and the nerve and pain meds make it hard to reach a deep, REM, sleep. This album is so smooth, in a heavy metal way that it relaxes my brain and body...
Anyway, I ❤❤❤ this reaction...
