maiden songs? Fear of the dark, number of the beast, run to the hills, Powerslave, The evil that men do, 2 minutes to midnight, Afraid to shoot strangers and Aces high jumps to mind immediately. So many years, so many albums... hard to pick a favorite
I've seen Iron Maiden live MANY times...its my boyfriends favorite band of all time. This band is phenomenal live!!!Bruce's voice is unbelievable and the band completely rocks out!!😃love your new view on metal & your open mindedness.great reaction!!!😄
Fear Of The Dark, Ancient Mariner, Sign Of The Cross, The Trooper, The Clansman, Children Of The Damned, Afraid To Shoot Strangers. Always live with Iron Maiden as with Nightwish.
Helloo , I will recommend "Fear of the Dark" some live version probably from Santiago de Chile is the best. Just for a little info I am so proud that i saw them life in 1995 and this year both concerts in Bucharest.
As other's have said, Fear of the Dark is a great one, as are Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Number of the Beast. Great music all around. If you want more of a deep cut, check out Run to the Hills.
@@carthuscrass2343 Perhaps. Here in Sweden you either hear run to the hills, or the number of the beast on radio when they rarely play maiden at all... Occasionally you could hear 2 minutes to midnight and the trooper too, but not that often.
The automated subtitles are hilarious ;-) ("I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime" becomes "I'm waiting in my old sound when the all begins to shine")
Congratulations on discovering the majesty of Iron Maiden! I've been listening to them for nearly 40 years and they are still my favourite band. Their music is quintessentially metal but I have met Goths, Punks, Rockers, Shoegazers and even Rappers who love their work. You can't beat good song writing irrespective of genre.
Maiden released a new album last year and are currently touring, so still going strong - concerts have generations of fans, so plenty of people walking around young and old with Maiden gear. 😉
I´m 52yrs now and I remember like yesterday the first time when I heard Iron Maiden. It was winter 1981 and their second album Killers. Amazing band! And yet another band with one mastermind like Nightwish, this time it´s bassist Steve Harris (and Steve likes Nightwish very much!). Here you can see amazing drummer Clive Burr in action. Great stuff. Great reaction, thanks a lot!
Running Free, Powerslave, Wratchchild, Wasted Years, Aces High, Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Run to the Hills. There’s way too many songs and they are all amazing. Maiden is such a great live band. I’ve seen them many times and it’s been epic each time 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great reaction! A few more song suggestions (all live): Rime of the Ancient Mariner The Clansman Seventh son of a seventh son Dream of Mirrors The Evil that men do Aces high
I've been following you lovely people on your Nightwish journey and very happy you've found Iron Maiden too. They are fellow Londoners and I saw them on this particular tour. Other popular songs - 'Run to the Hills' , 'The Trooper', '2 minutes to Midnight' , 'Aces High' and many more! Bruce Dickinson is a great guy and superb singer admired world wide. He is a qualified pilot and has flown the big Boeing Iron Maiden plane from Country to Country on world tours! Keep up the good work. 😃 🙂
Awesome one guys . Welcome to the Iron maiden family this would have to be one of their best songs and everybody is on point from the singer🎤, guitarist 🎸, drummer 🥁, Bass player🎸. I truly love this song from a musicians point of view on musicianship and how well everybody in this video performs considering how old the song is (coming up to 50yrs old and still going). The amazing thing about this song is we listen to the song from start to finish but never get told of what the crime is , it is just left out in the open for us to decide which is interesting.nice reaction guys love it.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥝🇳🇿
One exception on the live songs. My favourite song, Alexander the Great, as far as I know is and never will be played live. The official video and song are more then worth it to react to (use with lyrics!)
This is probably the most popular Iron Maiden song. The next is probably Fear of the Dark, needs to be played live (Do live at Rio) Maiden didn't get much radio play, they got popular from their great music and their extensive touring.

Greeting for Iowa, USA. Like Sabaton, Iron Maiden have done numerous songs that cover historical events. I would recommend these: Alexander the Great - Title pretty much says it all. The Trooper - Charge of the light brigade in the 1854 Crimea War Aces High - 1940 Battle of Britain The Clansman - William Wallace versus the British The Longest Day - 1944 invasion of Normandy Invaders - 10th century Viking invasion (warning, lots of gore) I would also recommend Fear of the Dark. Stay safe and well.
You are never too old to attend a Metal concert! I am in my 50s and am going to see Iron Maiden live this coming October! Always enjoying your reactions. Cheers!!
Someone earlier in the comments said they still tour and they do! I am seeing them in October here in Tampa, Florida. Crazy that I seen them in like 1987 or around that time, in Lakeland Florida and now seeing them again 35 years later.
I love Iron since I was 15 (i'm 53 now) and for the first time in my life I saw them a few days ago, here in Portugal, and it was the show of my life. After seing Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, I only want to see Nightwish so I can die in peace. Great reviews as always.
hellow Merchant og Alba thank you for reacting to iron maiden; first time i heard Iron Maiden was i 1987. love this band. greetings from Denmark. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I saw them on this tour. Iron maiden my second favorite band . Next to the best band of all time. You might of heard of them, Black Sabbath. Godfathers of metal hallowed be thy name y favorite Maiden song ever ever. Masterpiece.
I've got the same exact face expresion when I am listening to Iron Maiden! My cousin forced me to listen I was 11-12...35years ago. I realy love them since!
Great choice there guys! Iron Maiden always make good people happy! I saw them live a month ago and they were as spectacular as ever! Please react to some more of them. And always live versions. And to answer the question, yes it is the same music day after day in their concerts and songs that they know how to play in their sleep BUT it is never exactly the same. There are so many variables to a live concert. The band can be at its best or it can be tired or in foul mood, the crowd can be amazing or kind of meh....so many variables. So it is never the exact same thing. That's why some performances are better than others. It is live music. It is so unpredictable as it is to wake up everyday and go on with your life. We repeat certain things but it is never the same. I hope my huge answer helped a little. 😛
And another rabbit hole is found :) So many great songs to delve into. You may have heard them on the radio in Europe, here heavy metal at that time very rarely maid mainstream daytime radio and there were no dedicated rock stations. If you've heard them at all then it would probably be something like The Trooper, Flight Of Icarus or Aces High. I'd highly recommend Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, based on the poem of the same name by Coleridge.
Such a beautiful couple! I really enjoyed rockin out with you two kids!!! Kidding aside, I’m so here to observe your journey into the wonderful world of Metal . Please more Jinjer… really really such a talented beautiful band from Ukraine. Looking forward to more metal!!!
Great reaction. I love your husband's innocent question. He must understand that these guys are professional musicians. Lots of training and practice. I love his desire to understand.
Dominika, you were wondering how many youngsters actually know Iron Maiden. I would say: a lot. Iron Maiden concerts tend to be family events for some. By that I mean that you can find parents with kids as young as 10 years old on the concerts. Three weeks ago I was on the concert in Warsaw and beside me there was a father with, I would say, 12 yo son. The young one rocked hard!
I took my daughter to see these a couple of weeks ago in Barcelona, oh my word, simply amazing, still filling stadiums & incredible show !!... and, just for good measure, Within Temptation & Airborne were the guests.. what a night that was 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Oh,, also,, Iron Maiden & Queen & now also Nightwish are quite possibly the 3 best live bands to have ever graced our planet ( and ive seen a lot of bands in last 35yrs)..
Children of the damned, fear of the dark, afraid to shoot strangers, and (the evil that man do)/list goes on an and on . Loving your channel, people discovering metal is such a moving thing for me, since most people I encounter in work or life in general has that view that it's just noise (granted, some of it is noise). Seeing people discover the beauty that for me has been obvious since childhood (thanks to my friends older brothers). It's captivating, and beautiful. There's so much to discover, and it feelslike you're both going to keep on that journey even without the react part of it, and thats also beautiful. But thanks for letting us tag along for the ride.
I saw them live in Brisbane, Australia over 40 years ago was a very good concert. I just turned 60 this year, I'm one stripe away from my black belt in BJJ, I put Iron Maiden on when we are rolling.
What a wonderfull reaction to one of my favourite bands. But if you like melodic metal may i suugest you try rainbow with stargazer. keep up making these great authentic reactions. love you guys Up the irons
So funny that you guys are reacting to this now. I just started my Iron Maiden journey last night and have not been disappointed at all! Wicked band. Late to the party, but happy I’m there.
My first Album of the Band 1982 the Number of the Beast - I was 14 years old- 2022 - 40 years later with long hair like Bruce here in the Video - i love this Song
After you play a song enough times muscle memory kicks in and they can play it without thinking about it. That's why they can run around and perform and their fingers already know what to do. You guys are great!
for what you said in the begining the band started in 1972 became "know" in england ind the last part of the 1975 begining of the 1976 and became know to the word in the 80S years!
UP THE IRONS !! Well chosen.......another nice Rabbithole to dive down 🙂 More of them ? Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, The Evil that Man do, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High...ohh...and all the others....There is soo much... Good Choice ! This is Heavy Metal at its best ! And very good that you are open-minded enough that you try this stuff...as you say...Metal is more than just Noise...most of the time. Maiden is a very good example for that....Most of the Metal-Fans are more open minded than you think...
Up the Irons! Very nice reaction guys, thank you so much! Please, more Iron Maiden! I saw Maiden live last July in Athens, and it was amazing! 🤘🏻P.S.: Don't forget, every time after paused to go 10 sec. back, is so many Transitions, especially in Rock Music. I know you almost always go back, but today in the last two breaks no, and it was right on the tempo change or middle of the phrase from Bruce Dickinson! Thank you again!
the name was taken from a medieval torture instrument called an IRON MAIDEN. bruce dickinson the singer is a pilot. he has is own full size aeroplane with IRON MAIDEN written on the side
And after 2008 they had their own Boing 757 to goes to concerts in the whole world. At 2011 their own Jumbo Jet (Boing 747) and Bruce (the singer) was the pilot. But this video ist very old but good!
Thing is when i was a teen Maiden was concidered a very heavy band, and most countries didnt suport them, Sweden was one of the first who did and Maiden was one of the first metal bands i started listening to and i just started play the drums and this drummer was so good, and this music was so hard to play.
You picked a great introduction to one of the best and most enduring metal bands ever! You'll have plenty to listen to, as they released their 17th studio album, Senjutsu, just under a year ago. Hallowed Be Thy Name is off their third album, Number Of The Beast, which is also the first album to feature singer Bruce Dickinson. This was filmed at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in March 1982, a couple of days before the album's release, so for most of the crowd, it was their first time hearing this song and singer. The lineup here consists of Bruce, bassist and Iron Maiden founder Steve Harris, drummer Clive Burr, and guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. (Dave's got the much longer hair of the two in this video.) You'll find that Maiden's sound is characterized by the "galloping" bass sound produced by Steve Harris, whose self-taught style has been described as, "it's bass, but played more like rhythm guitar than bass." He is also the main, but not only, songwriter of the band. Bruce Dickinson is noted for being more than just a singer, too. He's written two novels and an autobiography, he fences competitively at an international level, and he's a qualified commercial airline pilot who's actually flown the band around the world in their own plane, "Ed Force One" - a modified Boeing 757 for two tours and a 747 for a third. However, as he's now 64 and approaching mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots, he's stated that he'll no longer be flying the band himself. He also beat throat cancer back in 2015. As for what to listen to... um... everything? LOL! Some of their more radio-friendly classics would include Run To The Hills, The Trooper, The Flight Of Icarus, and Wasted Years. You can find an early epic, Phantom Of The Opera, either live with Bruce singing, or with his predecessor Paul DiAnno on vocals. (This song actually pre-dates the musical by several years; it is NOT a cover of Andrew Lloyd Weber.) Another epic is the 14-minute Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - I suggest the Flight 666 performance for that one. Fear Of The Dark is a massive crowd-pleaser which you absolutely must do live, I recommend the En Vivo video for that. Slightly deeper cuts that I personally like include Wasting Love, When The Wild Wind Blows, Journeyman, Stranger In A Strange Land, and The Time Machine off the new album. I'm sure others will also offer plenty of suggestions!
Metal minds are like classical music minds, in terms of criativity using complex instrumental that nobody else does,,, metal use a lot of classic music inspiration, a lot of metal singers have classical training two, thats why bands like Nightwish, Iron Maiden, Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Avantasia etc...exist .. And also rock and metal combine very welll with classical instruments... Metallica, Scorpions, Alter Bridge... and many other use orchestras in the back and its just epic---

maiden songs? Fear of the dark, number of the beast, run to the hills, Powerslave, The evil that men do, 2 minutes to midnight, Afraid to shoot strangers and Aces high jumps to mind immediately. So many years, so many albums... hard to pick a favorite
Brother I can’t pick a favorite.
For post ‘80s and ‘90s Maiden, A Matter of Life and Death is my absolute favorite album.
All I can say Donington 1988 and Rhyme....
I've been listening to Iron Maiden since the early 80s and it's extremely hard to pick a favorite because they're all outstanding
For The Greater Good Of God is a epic song
The smiles on your faces say it all....
I've seen Iron Maiden live MANY times...its my boyfriends favorite band of all time. This band is phenomenal live!!!Bruce's voice is unbelievable and the band completely rocks out!!😃love your new view on metal & your open mindedness.great reaction!!!😄
Also, rest in peace Clive Burr, your contribution to this amazing band lives on. Thank you 🤘
Fear Of The Dark, Ancient Mariner, Sign Of The Cross, The Trooper, The Clansman, Children Of The Damned, Afraid To Shoot Strangers. Always live with Iron Maiden as with Nightwish.
Helloo , I will recommend "Fear of the Dark" some live version probably from Santiago de Chile is the best. Just for a little info I am so proud that i saw them life in 1995 and this year both concerts in Bucharest.
As other's have said, Fear of the Dark is a great one, as are Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Number of the Beast. Great music all around. If you want more of a deep cut, check out Run to the Hills.
Run to the hills a deep cut?... It's the most commercially played maiden song.
@@Noksivs Weird. I have never heard it any time that I didn't play it myself. Regional thing maybe?
@@carthuscrass2343 Perhaps. Here in Sweden you either hear run to the hills, or the number of the beast on radio when they rarely play maiden at all... Occasionally you could hear 2 minutes to midnight and the trooper too, but not that often.
The automated subtitles are hilarious ;-) ("I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime" becomes "I'm waiting in my old sound when the all begins to shine")
Great reaction. There is a message in Heavy Metal. It's been overlooked for decades. Great writing !
Not just message, great melodies, great musicians, great musicianship, a lot of skill and creativity
Congratulations on discovering the majesty of Iron Maiden! I've been listening to them for nearly 40 years and they are still my favourite band. Their music is quintessentially metal but I have met Goths, Punks, Rockers, Shoegazers and even Rappers who love their work. You can't beat good song writing irrespective of genre.
The look of pure joy on your faces is priceless!
Great song, great reaction. For more melody, harmonies and good vocals i would recommend Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys.
Maiden released a new album last year and are currently touring, so still going strong - concerts have generations of fans, so plenty of people walking around young and old with Maiden gear. 😉
I´m 52yrs now and I remember like yesterday the first time when I heard Iron Maiden. It was winter 1981 and their second album Killers. Amazing band!

This band still tours. Saw them in the 80's. And saw them 2 years ago. They haven't lost a step. Find their tour schedule. Go see them.
Running Free, Powerslave, Wratchchild, Wasted Years, Aces High, Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Run to the Hills. There’s way too many songs and they are all amazing. Maiden is such a great live band. I’ve seen them many times and it’s been epic each time 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Empire of the clouds, hell on earth, Alexander the Great, Ghost of the navigator, for the greater good of God, when the wild wind blows... so many
Great reaction! A few more song suggestions (all live):
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The Clansman
Seventh son of a seventh son
Dream of Mirrors
The Evil that men do
Aces high
they close out the show out with this song most of the time....and still the energy level is crazy!!!
I've been following you lovely people on your Nightwish journey and very happy you've found Iron Maiden too. They are fellow Londoners and I saw them on this particular tour. Other popular songs - 'Run to the Hills' , 'The Trooper', '2 minutes to Midnight' , 'Aces High' and many more! Bruce Dickinson is a great guy and superb singer admired world wide.

Second time I saw Maiden was on this tour, a few days before this when they played in Bristol UK 🤘
The first concert I ever went to was Iron Maiden. It was 1983 on their Piece of Mind tour.
I was 15 years old.
Awesome one guys . Welcome to the Iron maiden family this would have to be one of their best songs and everybody is on point from the singer🎤, guitarist 🎸, drummer 🥁, Bass player🎸. I truly love this song from a musicians point of view on musicianship and how well everybody in this video performs considering how old the song is (coming up to 50yrs old and still going). The amazing thing about this song is we listen to the song from start to finish but never get told of what the crime is , it is just left out in the open for us to decide which is interesting.nice reaction guys love it.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥝🇳🇿
There’s two guitarists and the song turned 40 in March 2022
You two are amazing. Love being part of your journey.
Love your reaction and your personal interaction. Lot of love in the house, God bless❤️
One exception on the live songs. My favourite song, Alexander the Great, as far as I know is and never will be played live. The official video and song are more then worth it to react to (use with lyrics!)
Finally had time to search for this reaction. I was not disappointed. Excellent reaction as always. Love your channel!

My favorite song by Iron Maiden. You’ll love them. They’re amazing ❤️
Greeting for Iowa, USA.
Like Sabaton, Iron Maiden have done numerous songs that cover historical events. I would recommend these:
Alexander the Great - Title pretty much says it all.
The Trooper - Charge of the light brigade in the 1854 Crimea War
Aces High - 1940 Battle of Britain
The Clansman - William Wallace versus the British
The Longest Day - 1944 invasion of Normandy
Invaders - 10th century Viking invasion (warning, lots of gore)
I would also recommend Fear of the Dark.
Stay safe and well.
Nice List! I think Senjutsu form their 2021 album of the same name should be added to that list along with Paschendale
Imagine being in that crowd and get to witness this being played for the first time!!!?
I mean this is from the beast on the road tour -82
One of the best reaction videos ever, loved it. Thank you!
This song is next level stuff. Bruce is one of the greatest Rock singers ever. Here is exhibit A. Cheers!
You are never too old to attend a Metal concert! I am in my 50s and am going to see Iron Maiden live this coming October! Always enjoying your reactions. Cheers!!
Someone earlier in the comments said they still tour and they do! I am seeing them in October here in Tampa, Florida. Crazy that I seen them in like 1987 or around that time, in Lakeland Florida and now seeing them again 35 years later.
I love Iron since I was 15 (i'm 53 now) and for the first time in my life I saw them a few days ago, here in Portugal, and it was the show of my life. After seing Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, I only want to see Nightwish so I can die in peace. Great reviews as always.
Nice to SEE how enjoy de song You have to go to a Iron Maiden concert Will be amazing be there! 🤟🏼💯😉😉
This is the most popular song! When I listen to Maiden so does my neighbourhood!!!
Just discovered you both this evening. Liked, subscribed. You’re intelligent, insightful, clearly love each other. Great fun for me. Thanks.
hellow Merchant og Alba
thank you for reacting to iron maiden; first time i heard Iron Maiden was i 1987.
love this band. greetings from Denmark.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I saw them on this tour. Iron maiden my second favorite band . Next to the best band of all time. You might of heard of them, Black Sabbath. Godfathers of metal hallowed be thy name y favorite Maiden song ever ever. Masterpiece.
Rhyme of the ancient mariner I have seen Maiden live 27 times across 4 countries
I've got the same exact face expresion when I am listening to Iron Maiden! My cousin forced me to listen I was 11-12...35years ago. I realy love them since!
Great choice there guys! Iron Maiden always make good people happy! I saw them live a month ago and they were as spectacular as ever! Please react to some more of them. And always live versions.
And to answer the question, yes it is the same music day after day in their concerts and songs that they know how to play in their sleep BUT it is never exactly the same. There are so many variables to a live concert. The band can be at its best or it can be tired or in foul mood, the crowd can be amazing or kind of meh....so many variables. So it is never the exact same thing. That's why some performances are better than others. It is live music. It is so unpredictable as it is to wake up everyday and go on with your life. We repeat certain things but it is never the same. I hope my huge answer helped a little. 😛
´The trooper' Is definitely a song to check out, it has all the trademark elements of their style.
Queensryche “take hold of the flame” Japan 1984. Vocals will knock your socks off. (That note he hits is an E5)
One of the best live tracks you will ever see, amazing.
And another rabbit hole is found :) So many great songs to delve into. You may have heard them on the radio in Europe, here heavy metal at that time very rarely maid mainstream daytime radio and there were no dedicated rock stations. If you've heard them at all then it would probably be something like The Trooper, Flight Of Icarus or Aces High. I'd highly recommend Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, based on the poem of the same name by Coleridge.
Such a beautiful couple! I really enjoyed rockin out with you two kids!!! Kidding aside, I’m so here to observe your journey into the wonderful world of Metal . Please more Jinjer… really really such a talented beautiful band from Ukraine. Looking forward to more metal!!!
I loved you guys faces when the music kicked in😳😳😁😁 🤣🤣 Iron Maiden Are Legendary !🤘🏻
Great reaction. I love your husband's innocent question. He must understand that these guys are professional musicians. Lots of training and practice. I love his desire to understand.
Lol u are so fun...the husband, how do they play same all the time? Coz this is skill on instruments and is why i loooove metal.
Dominika, you were wondering how many youngsters actually know Iron Maiden. I would say: a lot. Iron Maiden concerts tend to be family events for some. By that I mean that you can find parents with kids as young as 10 years old on the concerts. Three weeks ago I was on the concert in Warsaw and beside me there was a father with, I would say, 12 yo son. The young one rocked hard!
They are the masters of heavy metal.
I took my daughter to see these a couple of weeks ago in Barcelona, oh my word, simply amazing, still filling stadiums & incredible show !!... and, just for good measure, Within Temptation & Airborne were the guests.. what a night that was 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Oh,, also,, Iron Maiden & Queen & now also Nightwish are quite possibly the 3 best live bands to have ever graced our planet ( and ive seen a lot of bands in last 35yrs)..
U two are great toghether...... luv ur vibe
loving the back and forth convo in this vid hahahahahaha love this reaction so much hahahahhaha
Now you realise what us Heavy Metal fans knew all along....not just noise but songs from the heart with lots of meaning.
Fear of the Dark, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Run to the Hills are all great songs to react to. Love your reactions.
Good call. Actually a lot of the best rock/metal stars trained in classical or Opera growing up.
Welcome to the fandom of Iron Maiden... 40 years for me
Children of the damned, fear of the dark, afraid to shoot strangers, and (the evil that man do)/list goes on an and on . Loving your channel, people discovering metal is such a moving thing for me, since most people I encounter in work or life in general has that view that it's just noise (granted, some of it is noise). Seeing people discover the beauty that for me has been obvious since childhood (thanks to my friends older brothers). It's captivating, and beautiful.
There's so much to discover, and it feelslike you're both going to keep on that journey even without the react part of it, and thats also beautiful. But thanks for letting us tag along for the ride.
They got me into heavy metal metal bands today you can tell there maiden fans this band kicks ass you will like it got to do fear of the dark live
You need a longer journey with Maiden.Try Rime of the ancient mariner next.Great reaction.Up the Irons!
Hi my frends please more. Iron maiden videos. I love your reaction videos😗😀😀😀
I saw them live in Brisbane, Australia over 40 years ago was a very good concert. I just turned 60 this year, I'm one stripe away from my black belt in BJJ, I put Iron Maiden on when we are rolling.
Rime of the ancient mariner - rock in rio !! Spectacular
What a wonderfull reaction to one of my favourite bands. But if you like melodic metal may i suugest you try rainbow with stargazer. keep up making these great authentic reactions. love you guys Up the irons
Love ya both. Stay frosty.
So funny that you guys are reacting to this now. I just started my Iron Maiden journey last night and have not been disappointed at all! Wicked band. Late to the party, but happy I’m there.
Love the reaction when Bruce started the first long line of the song, truly a Maiden reaction ❤️
Nightwish, The Warning, now Maiden... What more could I ask more from you guys ?? 👍👍👍
Beautiful couple. Now you have experienced the two greatest live bands on earth. Keep enjoying Maiden and Nightwish
One of the best tunes ever..
The thing about a big chunk of maiden songs is that they pump you full of good energy... Making you feel more alive somehow.
Iron Maiden is one of those bands that not only provides a good show, they also provide you with a history lesson.
My first Album of the Band 1982 the Number of the Beast - I was 14 years old- 2022 - 40 years later with long hair like Bruce here in the Video - i love this Song
Dance of death!!!!!one of their best
After you play a song enough times muscle memory kicks in and they can play it without thinking about it. That's why they can run around and perform and their fingers already know what to do.
You guys are great!
for what you said in the begining the band started in 1972 became "know" in england ind the last part of the 1975 begining of the 1976 and became know to the word in the 80S years!
That was a fun reaction guys. Thanks
Enjoyed your reaction to this guys. Glad to have you here in the UK, I hope it's treating you well!
...and a new journey begins. great!
Thanks, welcome to Iron Maiden
UP THE IRONS !! Well chosen.......another nice Rabbithole to dive down 🙂
More of them ? Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, The Evil that Man do, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High...ohh...and all the others....There is soo much...
Good Choice ! This is Heavy Metal at its best !
And very good that you are open-minded enough that you try this stuff...as you say...Metal is more than just Noise...most of the time. Maiden is a very good example for that....Most of the Metal-Fans are more open minded than you think...
The world needs Maiden
🤘😜🤘🏴
Sure you already know this but Bruce (the singer) is also a pilot that flew the band around in their own 747 called Ed force one.
Up the Irons! Very nice reaction guys, thank you so much! Please, more Iron Maiden! I saw Maiden live last July in Athens, and it was amazing! 🤘🏻P.S.: Don't forget, every time after paused to go 10 sec. back, is so many Transitions, especially in Rock Music. I know you almost always go back, but today in the last two breaks no, and it was right on the tempo change or middle of the phrase from Bruce Dickinson! Thank you again!
Another awesome song is Rime of the ancient mariner. You’ll love it. By Iron Maiden 😊
Good reaction. Love you guys
welcome to the wonderful, fantastic and brilliant world of heavy metal🤘🤘
the name was taken from a medieval torture instrument called an IRON MAIDEN. bruce dickinson the singer is a pilot. he has is own full size aeroplane with IRON MAIDEN written on the side
And after 2008 they had their own Boing 757 to goes to concerts in the whole world. At 2011 their own Jumbo Jet (Boing 747) and Bruce (the singer) was the pilot. But this video ist very old but good!
Bruce is still doing same singing now in his 60s🤗🇧🇻
Thing is when i was a teen Maiden was concidered a very heavy band, and most countries didnt suport them, Sweden was one of the first who did and Maiden was one of the first metal bands i started listening to and i just started play the drums and this drummer was so good, and this music was so hard to play.
As you like this one, "Fear of the dark" live in Rio is a must, pure energy!
Iron Maiden is the best live band ever, and they are still touring and putting on great shows.
awesome seen them twice
MORE MAIDEN from you two! You’re interplay with each other is hilarious.
I just noticed that the closed caption on the video that you are watching
is inaccurate. That said. I enjoy your reactions.
You picked a great introduction to one of the best and most enduring metal bands ever! You'll have plenty to listen to, as they released their 17th studio album, Senjutsu, just under a year ago.
Hallowed Be Thy Name is off their third album, Number Of The Beast, which is also the first album to feature singer Bruce Dickinson. This was filmed at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in March 1982, a couple of days before the album's release, so for most of the crowd, it was their first time hearing this song and singer.
The lineup here consists of Bruce, bassist and Iron Maiden founder Steve Harris, drummer Clive Burr, and guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. (Dave's got the much longer hair of the two in this video.) You'll find that Maiden's sound is characterized by the "galloping" bass sound produced by Steve Harris, whose self-taught style has been described as, "it's bass, but played more like rhythm guitar than bass." He is also the main, but not only, songwriter of the band.
Bruce Dickinson is noted for being more than just a singer, too. He's written two novels and an autobiography, he fences competitively at an international level, and he's a qualified commercial airline pilot who's actually flown the band around the world in their own plane, "Ed Force One" - a modified Boeing 757 for two tours and a 747 for a third. However, as he's now 64 and approaching mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots, he's stated that he'll no longer be flying the band himself. He also beat throat cancer back in 2015.
As for what to listen to... um... everything? LOL! Some of their more radio-friendly classics would include Run To The Hills, The Trooper, The Flight Of Icarus, and Wasted Years. You can find an early epic, Phantom Of The Opera, either live with Bruce singing, or with his predecessor Paul DiAnno on vocals. (This song actually pre-dates the musical by several years; it is NOT a cover of Andrew Lloyd Weber.) Another epic is the 14-minute Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - I suggest the Flight 666 performance for that one. Fear Of The Dark is a massive crowd-pleaser which you absolutely must do live, I recommend the En Vivo video for that. Slightly deeper cuts that I personally like include Wasting Love, When The Wild Wind Blows, Journeyman, Stranger In A Strange Land, and The Time Machine off the new album. I'm sure others will also offer plenty of suggestions!
Metal minds are like classical music minds, in terms of criativity using complex instrumental that nobody else does,,, metal use a lot of classic music inspiration, a lot of metal singers have classical training two, thats why bands like Nightwish, Iron Maiden, Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Avantasia etc...exist .. And also rock and metal combine very welll with classical instruments... Metallica, Scorpions, Alter Bridge... and many other use orchestras in the back and its just epic---
