Well... A less straightforward second episode in the School of Metal series! What do you guys think about this song and this performance? Based on what you've seen so far, which songs would you suggest we do next for School of Metal? Oh, and can you spot our first use of B-roll? ;)
Well I can say. Is perhaps more also like a History of Metal and to start from the beginning instead of jumping all over the place would be good that way you can see the evolution of metal. I agree not the best song to pick to introduce Iron Maiden. But they are one of the best bands , and without them metal would not be what it is today. Perhaps also check a recent performance from them and compare. They are amazing live now as they were then. Not many bands can fill arenas or stadiums like Maiden does to this day...... Metallica would be one, also Rammstein and maybe Guns n Roses. I can name a few more LOL but is a small group. And at the end of the day is just Awesome you guys are doing it together.
You can't compare Bon Jovi to Iron Maiden! That's a sin! Listen to the lyrics.... These guys are one of the first pioneers of heavy metal, and progressive metal( thinking mans music)!
@@ChemicalReactions I love Bon Jovi, and he and his band are very talented! He wrote an album for the movie " Young Guns 2", about Billy the Kid! It was filmed here in Santa Fe,New Mexico....! But, that being said.... they are not Iron Maiden!!! I have seen both live!! Both are great!
@@ChemicalReactions The comparison is not that awkward really... Listen to Bon Jovi's song Dry County and you'll know what I mean. The only problem with Bon Jovi is that they should have made more songs like that.
@Blood Eagle 88 No there not. But you would have to agree that they were highly influential for that sub-genre. Dream Theater thought so and stated so. You can also make the case for Maiden to be an influencer in Melodic Death Metal. Just list to the early albums from In Flames like The Jester Race and Colony. You can't tell me you don't Maiden's influence in their melodies.
Iron Maiden and Bon Jovi in the same sentence 😂😂😱😱 You need to take her back to Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zepplin and let her see the progression of "metal"
That was an interesting comment! But yes, we will have to go back further to show how Iron Maiden was the natural progression of the British metal that came before them!
This is why you dont introduce metal via metalica. Deep Purple, Rainbow, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath are the starting points. If your first reference is a trash metal band your base is already skewed.
@@juyifan7933 Yeah! I guess I wanted to start where I started... my initiation to metal was Metallica and Iron Maiden. I didn't discover the 70s pioneers until later in life.
@@ChemicalReactions I get it, though even then the order was reversed. In any case if you are taking suggestions i vote "War Pigs", Black Sabbath next.
Iron Maiden , is the worlds preeminent live metal band, beloved the world over for 4 decades. hundreds of millions of fans on every corner of the globe from 5 to 85, fans fro life. No metal bands commands more respect, more admiration, from fans and other bands. listen to more Maiden, always live of course enjoy the journey enjoy the music.
England's criminal justice system had the death penalty by hanging (the gallows). The last execution was on 13 August 1964. This song is about a prisoner waiting in a cell contemplating his life, knowing his death is coming.The final 5 stages of grief run through this man. *Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.*
haha, Triggered, and you just showed yourself as the hateful ignoramus you are Billy. All those countries you mentioned are not exactly first world, are they? You assume I live in Europe, which I don't! You're not pro life Just anti woman, not every ejaculation deserves a name!...Chur.
Not all fertilized eggs make it, 80% of a woman's fertilized eggs get flushed out during her period, so by that logic all woman are mass murderers...who's the ignorant one aye?
The vocals take over because he's telling a story. The music sets the stage and shows the emotion of the story the singer is telling in words. Next on the NWOBHM list: Judas Priest.
This is her opinion and Juliet seems to have a definition of metal in her head and this doesn't fit in it. Maybe if she hears more Iron Maiden songs she'll like them more...maybe. It's an honest reaction, if she would have said she liked it and didn't, it would have been a lie so I respect her for telling the truth.
@@HellcatM Agreed, but it seems that her definition of Metal is very limited, even by her own admission. It doesn't make her wrong, just uninformed. They need to stick with the "classic" Heavy Metal sub-genre so that she can develop an appreciation for it. She NEEDS to listen to more Maiden as well as Sabbath, Priest, Dio, Motorhead, and Queensryche before going off into other sub-genres. Preferably Power Metal next since it's closely akin to Heavy Metal and then into Thrash Metal since she's shown a liking for it. Also, even though I love Hallowed Be Thy Name, I disagree with the choice as a follow up to Master of Puppets. A more proper follow would have been The Trooper, live from Rock in Rio. A far more "thrash-like" song than Hallowed. JMO
Led Zeppelin invented Metal first, then they did a lot of acoustic songs; that's why some think they are not Metal; this doesn't matter, they were the first. Deep Purple members said they changed their style after hearing Led Zeppelin new way of playing rock. Black Sabbath came after LZ too. There are a lot of interviews about this and how LZ changed the formula and ruled the 70's.
MUSIC IS THE MAGIC OF THE WORLD....ME AS A MUSIC PRODUCER OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND DJ...I LOVE METAL AND I LOVE IRON MAIDEN....RAP IS GOOD, METAL IS GOOD, ELECTRONICS IS GOOD.. .MUSIC IS MAGIC ..IT IS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT HUMANS SHOULD PROTECT ...MUSIC IS LIFE AND HAPPINESS ...GREETINGS TO EVERYONE
Juliette… you are young so I will forgive your "lack of appreciation". Maiden IS the greatest live Metal band to ever roam the Earth. You also have to take into account that in '82 it was called Heavy Metal and that Maiden was part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. These bands emphasized melody and musicianship and cleaner vocals compared to Metallica, which was a Thrash Metal band in the 80's. My suggestion is to take a more chronological approach to showing her Metal; like in an actual school. Bouncing around sub-genres may confuse her bit and she may not develop an appreciation for some of the greats like Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Dio, and Motorhead. Just my 2 cents.
Funny thing, I also didn't like Maidens the first time I heard them, it took me few you months to appreciate it but now they are my favourite band. Hallowed Be Thy Name wasn't even in my top 10 at the beginning but it is everything for me.
@@markogjorgiev4912 I also didn't appreciate Maidens when I have listen to them first time. BUT after couple of years I changed my mind. IMHO they are the best heavy metal band on this planet. And Hallowed by thy name is Bruce's masterpiece.
I mean this performance is SUPER old, they barely had any stage presence here. * Do something abit more present(2000 and later) Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (666 dvd). Or Pretty much anything from En Vivo! Or Rock in Rio(for starters Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Wicker Man, When the Wild Wind Blows, The Evil that Men do, Be quick or be dead) Best of luck ! Maiden is an absolute must when it comes to Metal. 3 guitars at once simply sounds amazing.
Dude the Flight 666 DVD is THE pinnacle of Maiden live shows. I don't care what anyone says. A lot of people request the Rock in Rio versions (which are good, don't get me wrong), but the Flight 666 DVD is something special.
@surfitlive Except that Bruce' vocals are shit compared to other concert vids they've done. The Hammersmith is Bruce at his very best vocally, probably 'cause he was very young there. Flight 666 has the best production outta all of them but Rock in Rio has them in front of that insanely huge crowd that's singing along with them. THAT' S special!
Primo Victoria- Sabaton (English version) I would definitely say that the live version is way different than the album version of any Iron Maiden song. Perhaps you need to go listen to the album version.
@@ChemicalReactions well 😏. Its still everyone's own opinion/taste of music:) . For me personally it's on my list of all time favorites. But like I said before in a reaction: Love the fact that you sir gives on the legends of rock/metal to the upcoming next generation. Therefore I definitely would love to request : Blind guardian The bard's song/Valhalla live @Wacken. Thank you so much for the reply 😃👌
I personally love this song, and that's actually a great album. It sounds like she is a little more into thrash metal. Maiden isn't about speed, like you said, they are about melodies and story telling. They are definitely world class musicians throughout the whole band. I saw them back in 85 and they put on a tremendous show. Let her listen to it a couple of dozen times, and she'll like it. lol. Seriously though, I respect the fact that she is able to give her honest opinion and thoughts. You can't be going through life saying "this is great, I love it" because you think that's what people want to hear. I also love that you are spending this quality time with your daughter, and teaching her what good music is all about. Keep it up!
I think UTA is the perfect follow-up to her intro to Maiden. She might be able to hear the influences and how some power metal has evolved over the years.
My favorite song by them and probably the best live performance of this song they ever did. Great reaction guys. Please, react to Avantasia - The Scarecrow (from the Flying Opera DVD), it's amazing
I think its okay to express your honest opinion about a song, even if it is a classic. This is definitely a different style or genre from the other videos I have seen, so it makes sense that your preconception of what metal music is might be skewed toward the heavier stuff. I think Iron Maiden is one of the most important bands in metal, and I think the fact that they have been doing this music for as many years and still fill out arenas is a testament to that. I also think this is not the first song I would recommend for someone who has never heard Maiden before. That said, I think the granddaddies of metal should be next: Black Sabbath's "War Pigs".
She needs to know that when comes Iron Maiden's certain style, their category of Metal is called *POWER METAL.* And when comes to power metal, you get to hear more harmonies in vocals
I’m a divorced father of a 14 year old daughter and see her every other weekend since she was VERY young. I’ve endured Disney cds and know waaaaaay too many Justin Bieber lyrics. I myself grew up in the 80’s and listen to Bob Jovi, Cinderella, Whitesnake...I found Megadeth and Metallica and it turned me on to the heavier bands. Loved the Grunge Era with Nirvana and Pearl Jam and actually went into death metal too. I never played my music when I was with her, instead letting her find herself. With in the last two years my daughter has switched from radio pop to introducing ME to some metal bands! Now we absolutely thrash in the car together. Seeing you two doing this is awesome and reminds me of these times of mine. I hope you two continue on, as I’ve found it as such a bonding experience with my daughter. Some of the bands we’ve found together Motionless In White / Reincarnate Black Veil Brides / Knives and Pens I Prevail / Scars Frozen Crown / I Am The Tyrant Bullet for my Valentine / Tears Don’t Fall Many many other songs and bands, but I hope you two find something here that you haven’t heard and really enjoy
I see your Cliff Burton, and raise you Les Claypool from Primus (technically not metal band, but daaaaaaang that guy rides a bass like no other - watch the Tommy the Cat live performance 😉)
I get that.. he's definitely "out of the box". I'd be lying if I said I like everything they've done. Truth be told I really like maybe 4 or 5 of their songs, the rest I'm not a fan of lol
Loved the reaction, great knowledge you showed there Chuck. I also love how Juliette explained why she didn't really like parts of the song. Well spoken young lady right there 🤩 and hey, give maiden some time to grow on you, they are a masterfull band! Some suggestions for your school of metal: Judas priest - painkiller Black Sabath - war pigs Dio - Holy diverse Megadeth - symphony of destruction Iron Maiden - number of the beast
During the pause.. when she was saying about the focus on Bruce's vocals..I just kept thinking to myself.. "wait for it... the solo is coming" LOL Peace
Maiden grew on me, though. Took me some time to warm up to them. Maybe you can do NWOBHM, the American Big 4 (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax), and the European metal bands (Helloween, Kreator, etc) as part of your School of Metal series. And then gradually warm up to the newer stuff. Although, you can also do reactions to "proto-metal" bands - bands that paved the way - too. Bands like Black Sabbath, Cream, The Who, Led Zeppelin, etc. There...is...just...so much metal.
Wow- can't imagine seeing them in concert at age 11. One of the best metal bands ever. Though metal's roots go much further back with Sabbath and other iconic bands, Maiden was ahead of their time. Great musicianship along with great composition and an incredibly iconic and legendary voice of Bruce's...it doesn't get much better than this. Up the irons!
Never apologize for what you like or don't like .Maybe after a revisit you'll like it more , maybe not .Let her hear Megadeth Holy Wars , but remind the young one that its " thrash "
Iron Maiden took me a few listens to get into even back in the early 80s when I first heard them. But the more I listened, the more I liked them. Now that I'm knocking on the door of 50 years old, I still listen to them and love them and respect them more now than I did as a teenager in the 80s for what they've done musically. Spend some more time with these guys. Bruce's voice is unique and their sound is also very unique. There are so many tunes in the catalog to choose from. When getting into new genres of music, and open mind is required, which Juliette absolutely has and that's awesome, but and open ear is also required. By that I mean you have to remember that it's not all going to sound the same. It's not all going sound like Jinjer or Metallica or Nightwish or Gojira. Every band, in order to be successful, has to create their own image and sound. Perhaps starting this School of Metal series with bands from the earliest days of metal and progressing from say, the 70s up to the present, would have been a better way to do it so she can follow that natural progression of the genre instead of now having to "fight" that expectation that she has after hearing newer bands. But she's doing great and she's a very smart young lady who sure seems to be very open to all of this which is awesome. Keep up the great work, guys.
It's best to start with the foundations of metal and work forward. Then the various branches of metal start to make more sense. As for this, to Juliet. the more Maiden you see and hear, you'll learn that though they are a highly visual band live, they also are very good at recreating the sound of the song live. Better quality footage and hearing the same song both ways will show this.
Incredible song. A man sits in a cell awaiting his own execution. I love how both the lyrics and the music go through the five stages of grief, starting with disbelief and bargaining, then moving to anger, sadness and finally acceptance.
There wouldn't be a Metallica or bands like them without Iron Maiden, they were the pioneers. They influenced most of the bands that came out after them. Maiden has always been about actual substance in their music. They still til this day sell out 100,000 plus arenas, so after 40 yrs they must be doing something right. It's nice dad gets it, she needs a little more exposure to Maiden.
Thank you for reviewing one of my favourite songs. I really appreciate the honest opinion. Metal music in general may not be one of the easiest type of music to get into, since there are a lot of subgenre of metal available. And each one sounds different from the other. You may find yourself discovering your favourite subgenre or band through this journey. But if I may say so, never depend on a single hearing session especially the bands that do concept album. They may be the most trickiest bands to get into. OK, now for my obligatory song request. And since I've been talking about different/unique subgenre of metal, I think you guys may enjoy something new. My song request would be, "Quoth the Raven" by the band Eluveitie. And please review this version th-cam.com/video/qY7VoBWZJ8o/w-d-xo.html if possible because I think it would bring up a good discussion/conversation. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Maiden are one of the founders of what was called NWOBHM, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. They were formed in the late 70's and advised to change into a Punk band as that was what selling at the time. They stuck to their beliefs and carried on playing metal, they probably have the most loyal fans worldwide of any band and have toured since the 70's to this very day. The lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a qualified pilot and has flown their tour planes including an Airbus A320 and Boeing 747. You need to read their lyrics, they are all about writing about historical events and putting them to a harmonious metal soundtrack. They initially had two lead guitarists but have operated 3 lead guitarists for decades now. Steve Harris, founder band member and bassist is one of the most acclaimed bass players in Rock. His galloping technique is very difficult to emulate, his love for West Ham football club is the reason Maiden are known as The Irons which just happens to be the nickname for West Ham.
This was actually one of the songs I analysed for my Senior Paper in High School and what I took from the song was that maybe the prisoner had been wrongfully convicted and the truth he seeks in the great beyond is the true identity of the assailant whose place he took at the gallows. It's a very multi-faceted song with a lot of potential analyses that may be stronger or weaker depending on your own point of view. As someone who has always kind of been into Psychology, Mythology, History and also Forensics, songs like this are always fun to pick apart, though many of my friends and family have told me to stop ruining their favorite songs by analyzing their meanings and thus their ramifications. I'm fun at parties... XD
@@ChemicalReactions definitely agreed, that's why I decided to write my paper on the topic of lyric analysis in Metal. I even specifically focused on Metallica and Iron Maiden because they are great story tellers and are just different enough in writing style and symbolism that it makes a difference which one you have in front of you in lyric form. I wish any of my lyrics were even a fraction as impressive as Metallica or Maiden.
some more songs of Maiden if you haven't heard them: Fear of the dark run to the hills number of the beast Afraid to shoot strangers dance of death no more lies brave new world blood Brothers
As Bruce says in his book, he has a theater background and he really sees Iron Maiden shows as a kind of a theater and their job is to tell a story with each song.
ChemicalReactions! There is absolutely no denying that Bruce is a huge part of the success they achieved but(of coarse there is always a BUT lol) I personally like Paul DiAnno’s vocal style more. He definitely has a more punk feel to his voice and look and since I come from a more punk music upbringing he is a personal favorite. Apparently they once got booked to open for Siouxsie and the Banshees but Steve Harris cancelled because he was afraid there would be problems with their fans and the punk kids, remember this was the early days before the two crowds could be at the same show without violence.
Thanks for the nice reaction. :) ok i had expected more but maybe it was the wrong song for her. well every song by maiden is different maybe you'll try another one at some point. if she expect tougher stuff try slayer raining blood. uhhhh. ^^ thumbs up for you

How about taking the channel on the road, and you guys go to a show together and then give a reaction/review?? An idea : )
That's an awesome idea! For ALL reaction channels!
I mean this performance is SUPER old, they barely had any stage presence here. *
Do something abit more present(2000 and later)
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (666 dvd). Or Pretty much anything from En Vivo! Or Rock in Rio(for starters Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Wicker Man, When the Wild Wind Blows, The Evil that Men do, Be quick or be dead) Best of luck !

Keep doing what you do! Another golden delicious reaction, spot-on as always 🤘
Thank you!
Yes!!! Clicked like before even watching 👌😁😁😁😁
What did you think after watching?
@@ChemicalReactions well 😏.
Its still everyone's own opinion/taste of music:) .
For me personally it's on my list of all time favorites.
But like I said before in a reaction: Love the fact that you sir gives on the legends of rock/metal to the upcoming next generation.
Therefore I definitely would love to request : Blind guardian The bard's song/Valhalla live @Wacken.
Thank you so much for the reply 😃👌
You gotta react to Rainbow - Stargazer! \m/
I got to see rainbow in the late 70s
Killer ! Richie Blackmore
This is my first hearing this song and I actually really enjoyed it. Great reaction guys!
Rhiannon Bernard For real for real?
@@metalmanny666 Yeah, I never heard it growing up, and I never really looked into them. But I definitely will now!
Rhiannon Bernard check this one out as well “Iced Earth - A Question Of Heaven Live”
React to DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT - Deadhead (Live at Royal Albert Hall) pls!
Amazing!
I personally love this song, and that's actually a great album. It sounds like she is a little more into thrash metal. Maiden isn't about speed, like you said, they are about melodies and story telling. They are definitely world class musicians throughout the whole band. I saw them back in 85 and they put on a tremendous show.
Let her listen to it a couple of dozen times, and she'll like it. lol.
Seriously though, I respect the fact that she is able to give her honest opinion and thoughts. You can't be going through life saying "this is great, I love it" because you think that's what people want to hear.
I also love that you are spending this quality time with your daughter, and teaching her what good music is all about. Keep it up!
I think it’s a good introduction of heavy metal for her is Unleash the Archers - Awakening!
Not yet.
Absolutely!!!! Awakening is an epic tune and Juliette will love it!!!!
I think UTA is the perfect follow-up to her intro to Maiden. She might be able to hear the influences and how some power metal has evolved over the years.
@@ftldelay Well it's either a follow up to Maiden or Priest. It's kind of a toss up on that front.
My favorite song by them and probably the best live performance of this song they ever did. Great reaction guys.
Please, react to Avantasia - The Scarecrow (from the Flying Opera DVD), it's amazing
Great choice mate 👌
Wazzup ya Wintersun lovin’ homie.
She dont like it . She dont have too, but she gave it a listen, Respect!
Not only did she give it a listen, but she also made a valid attempt to try to understand what the song was saying.
I think its okay to express your honest opinion about a song, even if it is a classic. This is definitely a different style or genre from the other videos I have seen, so it makes sense that your preconception of what metal music is might be skewed toward the heavier stuff. I think Iron Maiden is one of the most important bands in metal, and I think the fact that they have been doing this music for as many years and still fill out arenas is a testament to that. I also think this is not the first song I would recommend for someone who has never heard Maiden before.
That said, I think the granddaddies of metal should be next: Black Sabbath's "War Pigs".
OK lets see how sweet Juliette Reacts to DIMMU BORGIR -Gateways-(LIVE-FORCES OF THE NORTHERN NIGHT )
If you wanna hit her with pure shock value I'd have suggested GWAR.
@@ericheaberlin4312 i didnt request it for shock value ..
@@stevekanakanui7033 Cool, point taken. No offense meant dude, but it would be amusing to see that reaction. Just saying.
Even better, Marduk - Christraping Black Metal. She would be thrilled.
Iron Maiden are the masters of Metal...all of their songs have a story with a history...and their playing is fantastic !!!!!
Tool - Lateralus..... your Chem squad will grow huge with some Tool reactions....we are a almost a cult! Lol
Coming soon for sure!
....and down the rabbit hole we go!!! Here come the Fibonacci explanations!
Designated Shitposter you live up to your name well sir. Good job 👍
Ah shit, prepare yourselfs for the Tool trivia.
You could argue that Iron Maiden was proto-power metal. Bruce Dickinson is a force of nature, very melodic and powerfull.
Absolutely! best metal vocalist in my book!
@@ChemicalReactions Hes 2nd in mine, but hes still otherworldly talented. Dio first, Bruce 2nd, Geoff Tate 3rd, Rob Halford 4th.
Finally a classic. Next: Fear of the dark, and since little metal princess likes acapella, the Van Canto version.
I'm glad I played metal around my son when he was about five years old now he loves Metal!
David Townsend Project - Deadhead, Live at Royal Albert Hall
devin townsend
She needs to know that when comes Iron Maiden's certain style, their category of Metal is called *POWER METAL.* And when comes to power metal, you get to hear more harmonies in vocals
Iron Maiden isn't Power Metal, they're Heavy Metal. They're one of the main influences in Power Metal tho.
Great reaction.
That little girl needs to hear Black Sabbath - Into the Void.
I’m a divorced father of a 14 year old daughter and see her every other weekend since she was VERY young. I’ve endured Disney cds and know waaaaaay too many Justin Bieber lyrics. I myself grew up in the 80’s and listen to Bob Jovi, Cinderella, Whitesnake...I found Megadeth and Metallica and it turned me on to the heavier bands. Loved the Grunge Era with Nirvana and Pearl Jam and actually went into death metal too. I never played my music when I was with her, instead letting her find herself. With in the last two years my daughter has switched from radio pop to introducing ME to some metal bands! Now we absolutely thrash in the car together. Seeing you two doing this is awesome and reminds me of these times of mine. I hope you two continue on, as I’ve found it as such a bonding experience with my daughter.
Some of the bands we’ve found together
Motionless In White / Reincarnate
Black Veil Brides / Knives and Pens
I Prevail / Scars
Frozen Crown / I Am The Tyrant
Bullet for my Valentine / Tears Don’t Fall
Many many other songs and bands, but I hope you two find something here that you haven’t heard and really enjoy
I see your Cliff Burton, and raise you Les Claypool from Primus (technically not metal band, but daaaaaaang that guy rides a bass like no other - watch the Tommy the Cat live performance 😉)
I was always amazed by his technicality but his voice and the vibe of their songs were always turnoffs for me tbh
I get that.. he's definitely "out of the box". I'd be lying if I said I like everything they've done. Truth be told I really like maybe 4 or 5 of their songs, the rest I'm not a fan of lol
This is the first time I've listened to Maiden in 20 years. Almost brought tears to my eyes. Why did I ever let them go. They're back now.
You reacted on some great classics. I wonder what you think of something new and a genre you haven't reacted to. Amorphis - Amongst Stars
Yes! Anneke's voice in that song
Loved the reaction, great knowledge you showed there Chuck. I also love how Juliette explained why she didn't really like parts of the song. Well spoken young lady right there 🤩 and hey, give maiden some time to grow on you, they are a masterfull band! Some suggestions for your school of metal:
Judas priest - painkiller
Black Sabath - war pigs
Dio - Holy diverse
Megadeth - symphony of destruction
Iron Maiden - number of the beast
Thank you!
Good honest feedback! You shouldn't feel obligated to like something. ;)
Such iconic band and legendary voice.
Couldn't agree more! (Chuck)
During the pause.. when she was saying about the focus on Bruce's vocals..I just kept thinking to myself.. "wait for it... the solo is coming" LOL
Peace
Such a great and long solo!
Need to take the School of Metal back to the beginning!! Black Sabbath!! She doesn't have an ear for this yet!! Don't give up! Keep Rocking🤟🤟🤟👍😎
I see Maiden, I watch. I'm a simple man.
Same...
Maiden grew on me, though. Took me some time to warm up to them. Maybe you can do NWOBHM, the American Big 4 (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax), and the European metal bands (Helloween, Kreator, etc) as part of your School of Metal series. And then gradually warm up to the newer stuff.
Although, you can also do reactions to "proto-metal" bands - bands that paved the way - too. Bands like Black Sabbath, Cream, The Who, Led Zeppelin, etc.
There...is...just...so much metal.
@@crusaderofrock Ain't that the truth!
Iron maiden is still touring and rocking it still some of the best live shows out there take her to see iron maiden please
maiden can be an aquired taste, a few more songs might be needed😉
I agree. We can't leave this at that. Need more Maiden!
@@ChemicalReactions maybe rhyme of the ancient mariner, lyrics video, so it's not too overwhelming, or you could try fear of the dark live in Rio
Love how much your editing has improved
Tornado of Souls by Megadeth, Crystal Mountain by Death, Spit it Out live by Slipknot
What a great dad! Listening to his daughter with all ears and teaching with great respect. Up The Irons!
This band was One of starters/beginers of these kind of genre. That why it sounds like less of "pure metal" songs or Metallica type of songs.
Old skool. I bet this video will still be played on youtube or whatever in 2040. Incredible.
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys
Wow- can't imagine seeing them in concert at age 11. One of the best metal bands ever. Though metal's roots go much further back with Sabbath and other iconic bands, Maiden was ahead of their time. Great musicianship along with great composition and an incredibly iconic and legendary voice of Bruce's...it doesn't get much better than this. Up the irons!
Try Judas priest- The sentinel , still classic metal but with a little more power, probably she liked more.
Great choice
Just got subscribed!! I really love it that you are starting to implant to her the SEED OF METAL. I want to be part of her school of metal journey 🤘🤘
Sometime bands need to grow on you. Listen to more Maiden and that just might happen. Maybe it wont and that is ok. Great honest reaction.
Never apologize for what you like or don't like .Maybe after a revisit you'll like it more , maybe not .Let her hear Megadeth Holy Wars , but remind the young one that its " thrash "
NO THEY ARE THE FATHERS OF METAL THIS IS CLASSIC MUSIC FOR THE METAL GENRE
Iron Maiden took me a few listens to get into even back in the early 80s when I first heard them. But the more I listened, the more I liked them. Now that I'm knocking on the door of 50 years old, I still listen to them and love them and respect them more now than I did as a teenager in the 80s for what they've done musically. Spend some more time with these guys. Bruce's voice is unique and their sound is also very unique. There are so many tunes in the catalog to choose from.
When getting into new genres of music, and open mind is required, which Juliette absolutely has and that's awesome, but and open ear is also required. By that I mean you have to remember that it's not all going to sound the same. It's not all going sound like Jinjer or Metallica or Nightwish or Gojira. Every band, in order to be successful, has to create their own image and sound. Perhaps starting this School of Metal series with bands from the earliest days of metal and progressing from say, the 70s up to the present, would have been a better way to do it so she can follow that natural progression of the genre instead of now having to "fight" that expectation that she has after hearing newer bands. But she's doing great and she's a very smart young lady who sure seems to be very open to all of this which is awesome. Keep up the great work, guys.
At some point she's gonna need introduced to PANTERA 🤩🤘 - Cemetery Gates 🎸🔥
th-cam.com/video/ngMJTWUanCA/w-d-xo.html
best dad ever!! showing legendary stuff.
It's best to start with the foundations of metal and work forward. Then the various branches of metal start to make more sense.
As for this, to Juliet. the more Maiden you see and hear, you'll learn that though they are a highly visual band live, they also are very good at recreating the sound of the song live. Better quality footage and hearing the same song both ways will show this.
Great! :D Btw saw them live too 2 years ago at the sonisphere festival ^^
And I'm sure they still rock like 40 years ago!
ChemicalReactions! Oh hell yea!
You need to react to any Iron Maiden Rock in Rio song. Try "The Clansman" for a great bass into by Steve Harris.
New sub here. I love when people give different music a chance. Great video. I can't wait to see more content. Keep the school going. 👏👏
Hands down: Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno Alive in Athens '99!
Incredible song. A man sits in a cell awaiting his own execution.
I love how both the lyrics and the music go through the five stages of grief, starting with disbelief and bargaining, then moving to anger, sadness and finally acceptance.
There wouldn't be a Metallica or bands like them without Iron Maiden, they were the pioneers. They influenced most of the bands that came out after them. Maiden has always been about actual substance in their music. They still til this day sell out 100,000 plus arenas, so after 40 yrs they must be doing something right. It's nice dad gets it, she needs a little more exposure to Maiden.
Haha..The whole Time Dad is looking at his Daughter like :Look THIS is Really Music my Kid :-D
Thank you for reviewing one of my favourite songs. I really appreciate the honest opinion. Metal music in general may not be one of the easiest type of music to get into, since there are a lot of subgenre of metal available. And each one sounds different from the other. You may find yourself discovering your favourite subgenre or band through this journey. But if I may say so, never depend on a single hearing session especially the bands that do concept album. They may be the most trickiest bands to get into.
OK, now for my obligatory song request. And since I've been talking about different/unique subgenre of metal, I think you guys may enjoy something new. My song request would be, "Quoth the Raven" by the band Eluveitie. And please review this version th-cam.com/video/qY7VoBWZJ8o/w-d-xo.html if possible because I think it would bring up a good discussion/conversation. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
That's an awesome first concert!! Love Testament too!
Anything Ronnie James Dio
Rainbow , Dio or Black Sabbath
Definitely war pigs
Maiden are one of the founders of what was called NWOBHM, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. They were formed in the late 70's and advised to change into a Punk band as that was what selling at the time. They stuck to their beliefs and carried on playing metal, they probably have the most loyal fans worldwide of any band and have toured since the 70's to this very day. The lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a qualified pilot and has flown their tour planes including an Airbus A320 and Boeing 747. You need to read their lyrics, they are all about writing about historical events and putting them to a harmonious metal soundtrack. They initially had two lead guitarists but have operated 3 lead guitarists for decades now. Steve Harris, founder band member and bassist is one of the most acclaimed bass players in Rock. His galloping technique is very difficult to emulate, his love for West Ham football club is the reason Maiden are known as The Irons which just happens to be the nickname for West Ham.
I'm quite sure, that she would have liked Fear of the Dark Live in Rio much more. Not a good choice to introduce Iron Maiden to a teen.
Flight 666 version is better, though
This was actually one of the songs I analysed for my Senior Paper in High School and what I took from the song was that maybe the prisoner had been wrongfully convicted and the truth he seeks in the great beyond is the true identity of the assailant whose place he took at the gallows. It's a very multi-faceted song with a lot of potential analyses that may be stronger or weaker depending on your own point of view.
As someone who has always kind of been into Psychology, Mythology, History and also Forensics, songs like this are always fun to pick apart, though many of my friends and family have told me to stop ruining their favorite songs by analyzing their meanings and thus their ramifications.
I'm fun at parties... XD
When artists write a great story, I think it's our job to do our best to understand it!
I'd love to sit and converse with someone over metal music 🎶 🤘🏻
@@ajayjust2626 if you ever need someone to talk about metal and talk about some meanings and symbolism feel free to shoot me a mail.
@@ChemicalReactions definitely agreed, that's why I decided to write my paper on the topic of lyric analysis in Metal. I even specifically focused on Metallica and Iron Maiden because they are great story tellers and are just different enough in writing style and symbolism that it makes a difference which one you have in front of you in lyric form.
I wish any of my lyrics were even a fraction as impressive as Metallica or Maiden.
Maiden was definately metal where as early Metallica is commonly considered more of a speed metal.
Thrash metal, actually. They were among the pioneers of the genre.
some more songs of Maiden if you haven't heard them:
Fear of the dark
run to the hills
number of the beast
Afraid to shoot strangers
dance of death
no more lies
brave new world
blood Brothers
If your looking for instrumentals try, Joe Satriani's "Surfing with An Alien".
As Bruce says in his book, he has a theater background and he really sees Iron Maiden shows as a kind of a theater and their job is to tell a story with each song.
React to judas-priest,painkiller.
or möterhead :)
Last me my son was listening iron maiden when he was 5 years old he knows more of the songs than I do..
Bruce Dickerson’s first year with the band
Goddamn spellcheck, it is Bruce DICKINSON
He brought Iron Maiden to the mainstream. Like Steve Perry did for Journey.
ChemicalReactions! There is absolutely no denying that Bruce is a huge part of the success they achieved but(of coarse there is always a BUT lol) I personally like Paul DiAnno’s vocal style more. He definitely has a more punk feel to his voice and look and since I come from a more punk music upbringing he is a personal favorite. Apparently they once got booked to open for Siouxsie and the Banshees but Steve Harris cancelled because he was afraid there would be problems with their fans and the punk kids, remember this was the early days before the two crowds could be at the same show without violence.
Greetings from the flatland (The Netherlands)! Great to see you and your daughter enjoying the best music!
Si pueden escuchen algo de Helloween... recomiendo la canción March of Time, es una voz única!
Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
Gracias!
This track was released in early 1982 & was the first album with Bruce Dickinson singing lead.
Thanks for the nice reaction. :) ok i had expected more but maybe it was the wrong song for her. well every song by maiden is different maybe you'll try another one at some point. if she expect tougher stuff try slayer raining blood. uhhhh. ^^ thumbs up for you
Thank you so much for this reaction
Best album with de best song of IM. And the best line up. Clive Burr (rip): best drummer ever! Awesome on his drum kit. Up the Irons! 🤘
