Their songs are often either based on historical events or on literature or other popular culture like TV shows and movies. Heart of Darkness, Dune, The Prisoner, Falling Down etc
@@declanwatkins6450 To Tame a Land. Form the album Piece of Mind. They tried to call it Dune but the author said no. Bad choice on his part imo. All the lyrics are so connected to dune.
Again, I'm so happy you are dedicating a month to Iron Maiden. You could do three songs a day and not get to them all. Since you are a vocal coach I highly recommend "Journeyman" - Death on the Road (HD). I think it's a real showcase of Bruce's voice in an acoustic song. Also, "Paschendale" from the same album would be great. Those two songs really contrast each other.
as a huge Maiden fan since the very early 80s. I strongly suggest looking at: Phantom of the Opera live at download, Alexander the great (lyrical video), Strangers in a Strange Land, Wasted Years (live from Flight 666), Paschendale (live from Death on the Road).
The video is an official one, not fan made and yes, its using parts of a Buster Keaton film. For legal reasons they were not allowed to have images of Keaton in it though.
Bruce is a pretty fascinating character. He is a world class fencer as well, being an alternate for the British fencing team. I think that his passion for that also exposed him to those subjects more than most people. He was dedicated to his swordsmanship as well as his music. They both drove him. It stands to reason that he would sing what he knows, and things like the charge of the light brigade, the basis for the trooper, were things he studied both for their amazing subject matter, but also the combat techniques that they gave lesson to. And, if that weren't enough, he is a licensed airline pilot, survived throat cancer, and still sounds amazing.
If you are looking for some amazing vocals from Bruce’s solo work, check out Tears of the Dragon, live Bruce & Tribuzy. Some of his cleanest live vocals I think I’ve ever heard, and a really amazing track.
Adrian Smith the guitarist always does backup vocals sometimes Steve Harris also does backup depends on the song, Adrian also does lead vocals for his own projects.
A meme said it best. "What if Iron Maiden was formed to teach kids history and literature" many of their songs are based on historical moments in time, (Run To The Hills, The Trooper, Aces High, 2 Minutes to Midnight)) or works of literature (Rime of the Ancient Mariner)
Adrian Smith was already mentioned as being a very good singer, but he also just released an album together with Richie Kotzen named Smith/Kotzen on which he shares the lead vocals with Richie. Really great stuff and worth to check out!
Iron Maiden also draws for literature a like "Murders in the Rue Morgue" or one of my favorite songs "To Tame A Land" which is inspired from the book "Dune"
Really enjoying the Iron Maiden run, Ken. I really appreciate your appreciation for the heavy metal genre and your break down of the incredible stamina and talent it takes to be a metal vocalist. I will say this, Iron Maiden is amazing live. They were the concert I went to and Ronny James Dio was before them (rest his metal god soul). Thank you so much for the great content!
Hi as a big iron maiden fan from England you need to listen too phantom of the opera on the 1st album called iron maiden it's shows off how amazing the band is behind the front man
Check out some of Adrian Smiths (one of the guitar players in maiden) stuff, like "reach out" (B-side from an Iron Maiden single) and his band A.S.A.P.
Some very good tracks from their more recent catalog, songs with some great vocal acrobatics like When the Wild Winds Blows. Of course, you have to check out The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. Some incredible live versions of that. Flight of Icarus is an older "classic" track you might enjoy. So many! Thank you for highlighting the Mighty Maiden! Up the Irons!
If I wasn't already subbed I would be now that you are doing a month of Maiden! Some faves of mine are Phantom of the Opera and Remember Tomorrow (Live at Ullevi). Pretty much anything from Rock in Rio; but particularly Sign of the Cross or Blood Brothers or maybe Clansman. And Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Die with Your Boots On, Flight of Icarus, Revelations and Infinite Dreams are a must. Also as others have already mentioned check out solo works like Tears of the Dragon, Jerusalem, or Abduction.
I subscribed! Love your reactions to my favorite music. Wasted Years from Iron Maiden is another good song. Plus check out Beyond the Wheel from Soundgarden live in Germany. You will not be disappointed.
2:40: The Album was mixed by the greatest Rock Producer ever: Martin Birch!!!! (RIP) He did nine records with Maiden and always pushed Bruce to top performances!!!
You should look at something from the Live at Donnington 1992 performance. Maybe some of the slower songs like Wasting Love or Afraid To Shoot Strangers
The backing vocals at this time was done by Adrian (guitarist) and Steve (bassist) live, but Adrian is the one who appears in several songs recorded in studio. He was a vocalist of his own band before joining Iron Maiden. The difference in tone between the lyrics and the "movie" that intersects the video, I think, was done at the time to "lighten the mood" of the song, since this song was release as the first single of the album.
I grew up with Iron Maiden starting with my freshman year of high school in 1980-1981. Loved the early years through the Powerslave LP then tapered off after Somewhere on Time. I subscribed.
Merry month of Maiden makes me so happy! Thank you Ken! Please choose videos of live performances! They are always better live. Even in their bad days. It is the energy! 🌷🙂
Enjoying the reactions Ken.... Making May on TH-cam worth watching! Loads of history in Maidens songs. Alexander the Great, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Paschendale, Empire of the Clouds...the list goes on. I think you'd enjoy The Clansman - Live at Rock in Rio
almost 5 months later, i subscribed. I've seen a few of your videos and YT gave you back to me tonight with this song. Was really excited to get your reaction, i'm subscribed. Great different perspective for me.
One of the reasons Bruce was taught to project his voice as if he was not using a microphone. And to bounce his voice clearly of the back wall of the room he is performing at. This is the offical video. MTV area.
Ken, I love your channel so much!!! Thank you for your Iron Maiden reviews 🙏 You and Bruce always make my day. I have worked all over the world for several years and your channel is huge part of what gets me through.
Another great review! May I suggest a couple songs rarely reviewed but are amazing in their own right? Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg and Infinite Dreams. You would probably get more views from fans which is always good.
As cool as it is that you discover all the Maiden songs now it is also kind of sad. You are missing out the great excitement and magical feelings you would have when discovering them as a teenager. But better late than never. :)
I subscribed, Ken. I always enjoy watching people react to Maiden. Your reaction to Hallowed Be Thy Name brought me to your page. Nice to see you're taking a deeper dive into Maiden and Bruce Dickinson. I saw them 5 times in the 80's; twice on Piece of Mind Tour and thrice on the World Slavery Tour ( Powerslave album). the 80's were the best!
Didn't comment previously. I hit subscribe because of your reaction to disturbeds cover of sound of silence. You are my favorite vocal coach reactor. Keep it up! :-)
Greetings from Germany again...as i said, i love that you always dive deep into a band, their music and background. With such Passion, joy and excitment. Awesome..and the fact that you started with some older stuff of Iron Maiden speaks for itself. I cannot wait for your next one...thanx✌💚🤘🌈🐾🎸
Maiden is by far one of the best bands to see live. Bruces' vocals hit a wide range and when they bring Eddie on stage it's absolutely amazing. Each album is usually written based on a specific theme. You should ✔ out The Evil That Men Do, Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter & Can I Play With Madness. Oh and almost forgot Fear Of The Dark.
I subscribed. This was the Maiden song that first turned me on to them. If you like historical references, listen to their song Paschendale. Always leaves me in tears.
Iron Maiden is my favorite band ever but I also love Pantera. I’m curious how you respond to Cemetery Gates and Cowboys from Hell. Thank you! Btw, did you know that Bruce is also a commercial pilot and businessman, a historian, a fencer…..he’s a Sevant of talent. Once in a lifetime individual! Piece of Mind Revelations is a fav for me but this whole album is crazy good! This is a rabbit hole you can never escape!
They created quite a few songs from literature/novels. The Trooper comes from The Charge of the Light Brigade...English light Cavalry vs the Russians in the Crimean War, battle of Balaclava. Even Out of the Silent Planet (Science/Perlandra) trilogy from CS Lewis so much reference in their songs.
Adrian Smith the guitarist in the band just did an album with Ritchie Kotsen another notable guitar player. I had no idea Adrian sang so we'll especially since he is older. The video was the official vid since I saw it over and over on MTV Headbangers when I was a teen in the 80s. Saw Iron Maiden in 1986 on the Somewhere in Time tour excellent live group. Thanks for the videos!
Also u seen to enjoy Tommy Karevik from the Areyon video with all of the guest singers. He is from the symphonic band, Kamelot, at least on albums since 2012 starting with Silverthorn. Very theatrical, reminds me of 1980s Geoff Tate.
It's been written by others but to collect under one comment, Adrian Smith's vocals in order: - Urchin (his band before Maiden. 1978 if I remember correctly ) - Reach Out ( Iron Maiden B-side single ) - Adrian Smith and Project ( A.S.A.P.) Released only one album called Silver and Gold, 1989 - Smith/Kotzen self titled 2021album Smith does the vocals and plays the guitar and does most of the song writing in these works with the exception of the last one where he trades vocals, guitars and pretty much everything with Richie Kotzen. He's got those rasp vocals .My suggestion would be to listen to a title from "Silver and Gold"
Yes, this is official video, and those comedy pieces are from classic "Uncovered wagon", which is parody of another movie "Covered wagon". UW is on youtube, its actually pretty funny with all those jokes and action.
I CANT wait until you get to some later Maiden. Dance of Death, Dream of Mirrors, When the Wild Wind Blows.... Love all of it, but I especially love Brave New World and beyond
Subscribed recently, huge maiden fan and love the reactions, great stuff and keep them coming, and definitely check out "reach out" that i see already mentioned, Adrian is on the right in this video of number of the best playing the Red guitar, well worth a listen,
The footage is from the 1923 silent movie The Uncovered Wagon, which was a parody of the movie The Covered Wagon, also from 1923. The most notable actor in this was comedian Paul Parrot (real name James Parrot) but he where more known as a director. He directed some of the Laurel and Hardy movies.
Adrian Smith (guitar) is also a vocalist. He sings on an Iron Maiden B-side called “Reach Out” with Bruce doing backing vocals.
"Reach Out" is actually one of my favorite songs by "Iron Maiden" (putting that in quotes, because it's not _really_ by them)
A.S.A.P is awesome as well!
A lot of Adrian’s “non-Maiden” material showcases his vocals, including his newest project with Richie Kotzen.
@@CoffeeMatt10 K&A Is an awesome album. Longtime since new stuff was so cool.
@@CoffeeMatt10 Smith/Kotzen is an awesome album.
"It's so metal. Betrayal, and vengeance, and bloodlust... Thoroughly wholesome metal subjects". Well put Ken.
There's got to be a genre where you can title songs Blood of My Enemies or Hell and Back...
@@luisnunes2010 Yeah, no one ever reacts to ManOwaR...
@@WexMajor82 I keep saying the same. It's not like Beth Roars didn't get 145k and counting... they get scared away by the haters.
lol
Rime of the ancient mariner, infinite dreams, children of the damned, revelations , where eagles dare, stranger in a strange land
200% Infinite Dreams live at the N.E.C Birmingham 1988!
dont forget powerslave, flight of icarus aces high.. so many good ones
Infinite Dreams is one of the greatest songs and needs to get a reaction.
Transylvania, Losfer Words.
Murder In the Rue Morgue.
Their songs are often either based on historical events or on literature or other popular culture like TV shows and movies. Heart of Darkness, Dune, The Prisoner, Falling Down etc
yeah
Which ones about Dune?
@@declanwatkins6450 To Tame a Land. Form the album Piece of Mind. They tried to call it Dune but the author said no. Bad choice on his part imo. All the lyrics are so connected to dune.

Please!!
overlooked song as well
A Must!
@@eighteen-naked-cowboys 100%
Totally agree, what a tune, this will be a real classic in years to come, already is....
The silent movie clips are from Uncovered Wagon, which is on TH-cam.
Everytime I watch these old Maiden videos I remember my childhood, and of course Clive Burr(1957-2013) may he rest in peace!
Thank you Clive for your contribution to this band!! Us fans miss you.
I was annoyed when my dog woke me up early … but then I got this! A good morning for the hills.
Those screams earned him the nickname "air-raid siren", and for good measure!
Actually, that's not the case. The story is that someone (I think it was Rod Smallwood) said he sounded like an air raid siren, and not in a good way.
damn what
as a huge Maiden fan since the very early 80s. I strongly suggest looking at: Phantom of the Opera live at download, Alexander the great (lyrical video), Strangers in a Strange Land, Wasted Years (live from Flight 666), Paschendale (live from Death on the Road).
I totally upvote this! Specially Wasted Years and the live version for Paschendale, it MUST have the poem at the start.
My vote is for Iron Maiden 'Wasted Years'.
Upvoted!
hail to the yeah !
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner!!!!!
It's a must if you love Bruce's vocal range
I subscribed.
The video is an official one, not fan made and yes, its using parts of a Buster Keaton film. For legal reasons they were not allowed to have images of Keaton in it though.

Uh ,Bruce is no longer piloting ,due to FAA regulations he had to retire!!
@@kenbongaards554cares
Kevin Lavigne’s review of Iron Maiden pops up on my feed.... yup like it first and watch right after. Up the Irons!!!
Children of the damned live 1982 in hammersmith is a classic song
Let’s not forget to react to Wasted Years and Paschendale live prefaced by the poem.
If you are looking for some amazing vocals from Bruce’s solo work, check out Tears of the Dragon, live Bruce & Tribuzy. Some of his cleanest live vocals I think I’ve ever heard, and a really amazing track.
Yep... Tears of the Dragon. I haven’t met a single metal head that does not know this song by heart.
Uuuu yes! Tears of the Dragon!!!! Deff
Talisman live at "Iron Maiden en Vivo" one of the best performances that I have ever seen
Adrian Smith the guitarist always does backup vocals sometimes Steve Harris also does backup depends on the song, Adrian also does lead vocals for his own projects.
Loving Maiden Month.
Revelations is one of my favourites and often overlooked in reactions!
History and literature is what has inspired most of their songs
Adrian Smith was the vocalist for his band Urchin before joining Maiden, his album Adrian Smith and Project from the early 90s has some great songs.
A meme said it best. "What if Iron Maiden was formed to teach kids history and literature" many of their songs are based on historical moments in time, (Run To The Hills, The Trooper, Aces High, 2 Minutes to Midnight)) or works of literature (Rime of the Ancient Mariner)

Adrian Smith was already mentioned as being a very good singer, but he also just released an album together with Richie Kotzen named Smith/Kotzen on which he shares the lead vocals with Richie. Really great stuff and worth to check out!
Am I the only one who prefers their live music over their studio mix? They have some of the best live audio even in the '80s
Definitely have to check out The Talisman live En Vivo
Ken the metalhead! Up the Irons
Iron Maiden also draws for literature a like "Murders in the Rue Morgue" or one of my favorite songs "To Tame A Land" which is inspired from the book "Dune"

never ever can anybody sings this song way Bruce did it on album..
I love when you “geek out”!! Lol, because I’m right there with you
I'm in love your perspective on one band you absolutely cannot put into a category!
He trained in Opera!
Great one, looking forward to seeing the next one!
Merry month of Maiden makes me so happy! Thank you Ken! Please choose videos of live performances! They are always better live. Even in their bad days. It is the energy! 🌷🙂

Infinite Dreams performed at the N.E.C Birmingham 1988. Trust me, you'll love it!
I totally agree, the song is amazing, one of my favorites.
I subscribed just to request Paschendale by Iron Maiden. One of my favorites. Thank you!
Aces High mês pleeaaaaaase, historic ALL the way! Awesome tune. Greetings from Brazil
Highly recommend Wasted Years, flight 666....2 for 1 you get to see Adrian Smith sing, plus a guitar solo.
Bruce is the king of rock theater delivers an awesome vocal performance while telling so many colorful & historic stories.
One of the reasons Bruce was taught to project his voice as if he was not using a microphone. And to bounce his voice clearly of the back wall of the room he is performing at. This is the offical video. MTV area.

Adrian Smith just made an album with Ritchie Kotzen and they both sing ! He sang already with his band ASAP when he leaved Maiden years ago
Yes....IM pulls from history a lot. It's something I appreciated when I first found them back in the day.
Adrian Smith sings the chorus (partially) in Wasted Years (Flight 666)
Another great review! May I suggest a couple songs rarely reviewed but are amazing in their own right? Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg and Infinite Dreams. You would probably get more views from fans which is always good.
I agree, I would also like to see/hear a reaction to one of my favorite Maiden song Infinite Dreams.
Love the month of Maiden :D. Love your enthusiasm and technical approach to explaining Bruce's voice!
As cool as it is that you discover all the Maiden songs now it is also kind of sad. You are missing out the great excitement and magical feelings you would have when discovering them as a teenager. But better late than never. :)
Yes that is the official video I remember when MTV was out and actually Music Television.

Btw, did you know that Bruce is also a commercial pilot and businessman, a historian, a fencer…..he’s a Sevant of talent. Once in a lifetime individual!
Piece of Mind Revelations is a fav for me but this whole album is crazy good! This is a rabbit hole you can never escape!
They created quite a few songs from literature/novels. The Trooper comes from The Charge of the Light Brigade...English light Cavalry vs the Russians in the Crimean War, battle of Balaclava. Even Out of the Silent Planet (Science/Perlandra) trilogy from CS Lewis so much reference in their songs.
