THANK YOU FOR 9k subs!!!You will be happy to know my friend *name redacted for privacy who sent me this is very happy I finally gave Iron Maiden an honest listen 😂🤘 he also said to tell everyone “Up the Irons!” 🤷🏻♂️🤘
BEST LIVE BAND EVER
@@Mark-xr8kj seen them 2 times Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of Seventh Son tours back when a concert ticket was like 25 bucks
Steve Harris is the bassist ..and essentially founder/owner of Iron Maiden. He is among the best of the best.
Richfield outside of Cleveland, I tried to keep up with the older guys in drinking bad idea LMFAO, missed most of twisted sister!!!!!
Never be afraid to listen to "boomer" bands just because they're older. Good music transcends generation, and if you listen to some of the pioneers you will definitely see where modern music has descended from. And I'm glad you go into with some respect, but also never be afraid to explore. You might not even like some things, but at least you give it a chance.
To put this performance in context, this was the encore. Bruce's voice had already done an entire set and still had this energy.
Ya absolutely incredible honestly. He should be more of a guide for a lot of us.
@@wrighteousj also this was the final show of that portion of the tour. 23 shows in 45 days across 13 countries.
Isn't this also after he recovered from throat cancer?
@@collinnicholasns No, this show was in 2008 and his cancer treatment was in 2015.
@@jasperdevries1726 ok I was not sure definitely impressive that he is still able to perform as well as he does now after that.
Calling Steve Harris underrated is feckin hilarious. Metal Hammer bassist of the year over 10 times.😂😂😂
Bro I’m coming in as an ignorant man of metal history 😂😂😂😂
Well this is a great review. So welcome to the club. Regardless of youtube, you should have a look into their catalogue.
He didnt call him underated. He was appreciating his amazing talent!
@@wrighteousj Oh, that bassist guy does a few more things - backing vocals, keyboards, primary song writer, oh yeah and he's the founder of the band 😄❤
@@wrighteousj please react to Metallica's The Day that Never Comes live in Nimes France 2009 or/and them in Mexico City performing Disposable Heroes! Both are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! They are so tight and unbelievably the greatest metal band of all time for these reasons, just watch!!!
Did you notice Bruce Dickinson was also piloting the tour jet? He's a certified airline pilot, even flew for British Air for a little while. A man of many talents.
Also accomplished national level fencer, children's book author, two autobiographies, and survivor of throat cancer and still out there singing.
@@O-D-X Yeah, no kidding huh! BD is the very epitome of a polymath.
And he beat cancer!
He’s a Captain at commercial level, and an Honorary Captain in the RAF. He also has two doctorates, so he’s Capt. Capt. Dr. Dr. Bruce Dickinson.
This man deserves a knighthood! Services to multiple industries - music, film, literature, aviation, military, history, philanthropy, sport (fencing), business… he’s also survived cancer and Covid with his voice still intact, and has had a hip replacement, he’s done it all and hasn’t even reached retirement age!
As the lyrics of The Final Frontier say: “done more in my life, than some do in 10”.
He also flies a Fokker Dr1 Triplane full size World War 1 reproduction which he partly owns.
Not forgetting in 2014 Bruce was diagnosed with throat cancer and he is still going strong today
Literally had to learn to speak again, let alone sing! And when you sing like Bruce does, it can be really tough for one's vocal cords. Well, it's really tough anyway, but if his technique wasn't just right, he wouldn't be singing like this anymore.
He recorded an album even though know something wasn’t right (he googled his symptoms and figured out it was potentially cancer), went to the doctor after they finished the final recording session, got the diagnosis, and had the treatment, all before the band made anything public… one of my favourite things about them, they keep everything private until they decide it’s time to reveal.
Bruce is a force of nature. He is a fascinating human. A huge fan since 1985.
@@mindyeden8269 This or he's sold his soul, like many in this industry. The Revelations is about Alistair Crowley. Just saying.
@@aimfuldrifterShaitan would weep when hearing his voice, then give it back with apologies. Seriously, this kind of comment on "Hallowed by thy name" ?
This is close to two thirds through the concert and he is recovered from throat cancer. Iron Maiden are the perfect live band.
Bruce has vocal cords of steel! This song was after 2 hours of performing and still sounds amazing! His stamina is legendary!
Ya absolutely insane. I love it.
@@wrighteousj You must hear some old Bruce,during '80 and begining of 2000,go listen Rock in Rio 2001,and also to add they are so close on stage,have fun,makes jokes,go see every song of them,same thing
@@wrighteousj Bruce drinks ice coffee in backstage
@@wrighteousj Guitarists -far left Dave Muray,next to him Adrian Smith,than bassist Steve Harris and 3rd guitarist Janick Gers,drummer is Nicco McBrain🙌🤘
Bruce is the greatest!!
I went more than 20 years without missing a Maiden show in Detroit..... saw them EVERY time they came
Good man. We gotta catch em every time we can, bless u
Steve Harris (the bassist) "highly underrated"? Dude's been one of the best and most acclaimed Metal bassists and songwriters for a good 40 years now.
There's a reason Bruce is called the Air Raid Siren, I absolutely love watching people discover the awesomeness of Iron Maiden! Great reaction, you've gained a subscriber! I'm sure this has already been suggested, but please do yourself a favor and either watch on your own time or react to the live version of this song at Hammersmith in 1982.
One of the best live bands around Up The Irons 🤘
🤘🏻🖤🤘🏾
East East East London
I've heard he sings the entire concert playlist while rollerblading to prepare for a tour. He also was the pilot of the 757 they used for this world tour. He wrote a couple of books. He helped a brewery come up with a few Maiden inspired beers. He was once the 7th ranked fencer in England. I think he sings for some band also.
Maybe in his free time he sings for some band...
He also pisses and takes a breath, when he has a free moment lmfao
Longest day & passchendale live performances are a must..
“Dance of Death” from the live recording called “En Vivo” is a huge song. Super dramatic. Great story telling through the lyrics and through the instruments.
Bruce has talked in interviews how the gestures and stage antics, as well as projecting his voice are all part of tring to make those in the back of the house feel like they're much closer
As great as they are and as good musicians they are. One particular point I would like newer bands take from this is.... They are fantastic *entertainers* . Don't forget to entertain your audience, they come to get something more than just the music.
This comment is everything
The only contradiction to this is zz top I feel. They just play and the crowd entertains themselves lol they are just two dudes playing guitars with a drummer lol
Yeah the maiden comment and the zz top comment, well said gentlemen
Best line was "that bassist is underrated."
The Bass God is most definitely not underrated. 😆
Bro I’ve learned my ways now 😭😂😂
The moment you said you didn't know who Steve Harris (the bassist) was and even said he was probably an underrated bassist, you had me giggling. I can tell this was your first maiden song (and badass pick for one might i add) but you will soon realize Steve Harris isn't just a crucial member of the band... he is one of the most influential hard rock/ metal bassists to ever exist
I have learned the ways!
@@wrighteousj You were honest and not disrespectfull or snob, for not knowing, and thats what matters in the end.
What does being underrated mean?
What does underrated mean? If you call something underrated, it means you think the general opinion about it is lower than it should be. Underrated is an adjective, but is also the past tense of the verb underrate.
I'm sad that i'm a brazilian dude teaching you english.
@@igorsartoretto it means something doesn’t have enough praise
@@wrighteousj The whole time you were talking about Steve, I was thinking "This dude is gonna learn about the gallop today." :)
On 6 January 2020, Dickinson was made an Honorary Group Captain of 601 (County of London) Squadron RAF.[126] Royal Air Force. Dickinson's interests and non-musical activities include writing, broadcasting, fencing (at which he has competed internationally, placing 7th in Great Britain,[127] and has founded a fencing equipment company under the brand name "Duellist"),[128] beer brewing and aviation. Due to the wide variety of Dickinson's pursuits, Intelligent Life named him as a living example of a polymath in 2009.[129] Wikipedia.
I will see them live in 5 days. It will be 40 years since my first Maiden concert. Up The Irons!
Bassist Steve Harris is the founding member of the band and writes the music. Watch Maiden’s Flight 666, you see Bruce flying the Maiden plane and lots of fan participation footage. Maiden is on tour now, seeing them in a few weeks in CA. Up the Irons! It will be epic as their shows always are. 🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely wild lol!
@@wrighteousj They have so many amazing songs with epic stories of history, wars and the world. Maiden worldwide fans will find your channel. Big songs are: The Trooper, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Fear of the dark, Dance of Death, Wasted Years, Revelations and more.
@@wrighteousj They are all in their sixties now and Bruce just turned 64
@@wrighteousj Lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a fully qualified Being 747 and 757 captain, amongst other aircraft, has a PhD in history, is an Olympic standard fencer and owns an airfield in Wales. Just your usual average British heavy metalist 🤣
Writes some of the music. Don't forget all the other band members have written some absolute classics.
I was fortunate enough to watch this tour live twice, the first show here in São Paulo, Brazil, a rain storm ruined the fireworks and a lot of stuff from the stage so they promised they'd be back the next year to do justice to their concert. They kept their promise and came back, the ticket prices were cheaper and ironically once again a rain storm hit us, because of that there were over 20k people outside at the moment the band was supposed to go on stage, then their manager showed up and said they were gonna wait until everybody was in because it was unfair to start it knowing so many people had trouble reaching the venue. Then they delivered the show of our lives. Every band should take note from Iron Maiden about how to keep the fans happy and coming back.
The thing that amazes me about Bruce Dickinson is that the guitars don't drowned his voice out and you can still hear him over the guitar playing which is phenomenal
I am 50 now and grew up with these guys. I'm impressed with you being so humble, young man. You are great.
Me too
That's the way of us Iron Maiden fans are
If you look close at the beginning Bruce is the pilot in command of their plane. He has been a commercial pilot for a very long time
LOL WHAT??????
@@wrighteousj This clip is from the Book of Souls tour, it's the 747 rather than the 757 you saw at the beginning of your video, so from 2016, I believe. Oh, side note, Bruce beat throat cancer in 2015 - recorded Book of Souls, and straight off to chemo, etc. Then a few months to get his voice back in shape, and off to tour. So, here he is, taking off from Fortaleza: th-cam.com/video/8a8aeHb-Qco/w-d-xo.html
@@wrighteousjyes sir they actually just said he canno5 pilot them legally anymore only cuz he's 65 or older, meanwhile we have oresidents. And I bet Bruce can do both jobs better than some 10 years older haha, rock on my friends
@@MsCatstaffbless Bruce and Nickolas for kicking ass months after throst cancer and a paralyzing stroke bsck playing hahah fuck yeah
You really have to see them live to appreciate what they do. My first time was 1983, my last one was 2019, and both were just amazing. The energy they have while being in their 60's is unmatched.
Very nice observations on the band. Bruce said when they started playing large arenas, he realized they needed to be active, animated and "larger than life" in order for the whole crowd to stay engaged.
If you're a sucker for crowd engagement, any live metal concert from Bueno Aires, Argentina will hit. Those fans sing along to the guitar solos. No joke.
Your expressions for Iron Maiden are what Iron Maiden fans never get tired of saying and never tire from hearing. The are the best and with no radio play, no air time. They are legendary. They sound even better live. Up the Irons 👏👏👏👏👏
Steve “the Beast” Harris, greatest metal bassist (he’s also the primary Writer, and only founding member)
Love when he does his patented machine gun bass on stage. What a legend.
Interesting I’ll have to deep dive
At the beginning of the video when you see the plane flying in and they show you an in-cockpit view, that’s Bruce Dickinson flying the plane.
That was Bruce flying the plane. Multi-talanted.
Thank you ! Appreciate learning about Iron Maiden - this phenomenal trailblazing English band that has influenced so very many metal bands in their 40 plus years of existence. So awe inspiring!
After listening to Hallowed Be Thy Name and delving into the lyrics (loved it), I just had to do a bit more research. Learning that Steve Harris wrote such incredibly academic yet grounded lyrics based on historical events (Run to the Hills, Alexander the Great) and literature (Charge of the Light Brigade was a fave of my father and grandfather which was the inspiration for The Trooper). Then discovering that they have a song titled Phantom of the Opera - that just called to me.
Saw a video of Iron Maiden playing at a festival and the aerial view of the endless sea of fans was breathtaking. The band has received countless awards including honorary doctorates ! What blew my mind is that they have hardly gotten radio play and mainstream support yet their achievements / album sales / recognition / influence on other artists (eg Metallica) but not limited to heavy metal artists are legendary.
47 years since Steve Harris formed the group in 1975 and still going strong! Wow ! How wonderful to learn new things every day! Thank you!
Incredible
Drink every time Jordan says "I'm a sucker for" 😂
Glad you finally got introduced to the GOATs.
I just heard him say it as I read this love it
This was like 25 years after the original live performance of this same song. This recording is incredible enough but his voice was on point even more 25 years earlier. Its worth watching even if not as a reaction. Its iconic. Bruce was flying that plane they show at the beginning. He's been a pilot for many years. Yes, they have 3 6string guitars and a bass. All are really good. If Iron Maiden had a "sound" its the layering of the 3 guitars. They jump back n forth taking lead at times, the other 2 typically harmonizing in the back. Pluce Bruce voice is insane.
One more "note" about Bruce Dickinson... he was the pilot of the 'Iron Maiden' plane that you saw landing in the beginning. He flew them around the world for that tour.
Now you have to watch the Rock in Rio version of "Fear of the dark". You won't see a better interaction between a band and their fans ever
One song of theirs where Bruce is extremely animated is dance of death, the en vivo version.
The talisman, the en vivo version again, shows you just what bruce is actually capable of as a singer.
Lastly, go for fear of the dark live at rock in rio 2001. It's the first bit of iron maiden I ever heard, and it's incredible.
Please react to these 3 songs mate
Thank you!
@@wrighteousj Yes Bruce is a great story teller especially in Dance of Death LOL They are still my favourite band of all time. At the beginning you saw the jet aircraft arriving. (A 757) and Bruce was the pilot. Amazing.
@The Stranger it really is a great song. I remember getting to see it live on the final frontier tour and I was just blown away by Bruce's performance that night especially with talisman. If you read the lyrics with the song, it's actually amazing how descriptive the song is
@@wrighteousj you're welcome
Bruce beat throat cancer and still is singing today
There is nothing about an Iron Maiden concert that is not edge of your seat awesomeness!! I've seen them many times and I've never been disappointed!! When Bruce says "SCREAM FOR ME (insert city name here)!!" Everyone goes NUTS!!!
Bro, thsta his old man voice... and its still great
He’s honestly a great representation for all of us frontmen…genuinely
Just saw them the day you uploaded this video and even after going through cancer Bruce still dominates. Of course aging is evident but I would never hold that against him or the band because they've been doing it longer than most bands and at a super high-level. Throw on top of that the amazing stage production and theatrics and you have yourself an unbeatable show.
They ENJOY themselves so much live! They act like 16 yr Olds. They love interacting with the crowd, cranking out the level of loud noise not available elsewhere.
Empire of The Clouds. Bruce's masterpiece.
Talking about the energy of the band. At 62 years old Bruce Dickinson is the baby in the group. It’s insane… I don’t think I had that much energy at 20..
This band is my life force. I need it every day
love this
that's awesome, I seen them for the 1st time live in 1985 (powerslave tour) I was 15 years old, the show was so amazing we went back the next night and bought scalper tickets, and the show was just as amazing but different set lineup, I am 54 now and just seen them again 7 days ago (22nd) at the pond in Anaheim California and the boys sounded great...hey I have fear of the dark in my disc changer right now as a matter of fact "UP THE IRONS"
@@wrighteousj
Yes, Myles Kennedy was influenced by Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden -- this is Myles Kennedy singing The Trooper by Iron Maiden and saying that they influenced him. Enjoy.
th-cam.com/video/7CZJGyx4oYc/w-d-xo.html
Maiden's been my favorite band since I was 12. I'm happy when new listeners have great maiden experiences 👍🤘
And yes the lead singer was flying the jumbo jet the band tours on. Bruce is just a beast on many levels.
Hallowed be thy name when they were younger was the best live you could ever hear from bruce dickenson
Definitely need to do more Iron Maiden!!!!
Next reaction should be Rime of the Ancient Mariner from the same show.
After he watches that this entire channel will just become Maiden reactions it’s a rabbit hole you’ll never escape 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I’ll check it out!
YES !!! BAM !!! The 3 guitar solos (back to back to back) after coming out of the speaking portion of the song ARE INCREDIBLE
Mariner from Live after Death is better !!
I concur.
Live shows are where Maiden made their name. Very little radio play, but they are still one of the biggest bands on the planet. Great reaction.
He's the only band that takes old poems and quotes from the bible,old history stories and sings about them in rock
Homework from now on is to listen to every Maiden song. Loved your analysis, nice to hear someone who knows what they are talking about and convey that to a audience. New subscriber now looking forward to future Maiden reactions.
Aye thank you! I will definitely do some Maiden again asap
One thing that I haven't really seen acknowledged is that this is an end-of-set number. The band have already been performing for 70-80 minutes and they still deliver huge amounts of energy and just nail it.
Right now, Iron Maiden is touring the states - Legacy of the Beast tour plus they are supporting their latest album, Senjutsu. You asked about 3 guitarists: Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers. Adrian and Bruce left the band in mid 90's. Blaze stepped in as lead singer, and Janick Gers stepped in for Adrian. During their album, Brave New World, both Bruce and Adrian returned to Iron Maiden. Instead of dropping Janick from the band, he stayed in the band making 3 guitars band. They are known as "Three Amigos" by Maiden Fans. All three share leads on each song. You probably know that I am a huge Iron Maiden fan. True, I have since in 1983 with their Piece of Mind album. Nicko McBrain (drummer) replaced their other drummer, Clive Burr who died in 2013 back in 1983. Nicko back in 2009, opened restaurant called Rock n Roll Ribs in Florida.
Some of his bandmates stop by there when they are not touring. Nicko jams with local bands in the area too.

Hi, i got to see Iron Maiden back in the 80's in Corpus Christi, Tx. Badass concert.
Our Fan Base Is Our LIFE-FORCE!! Great quote!!! Paid homage where it is definitely DUE!!
Every heavy metal musician after 1980 was influenced by this band.
Now go watch a video of Bruce when he was young doing this song.
That’s my next step for sure lol
We who love Iron Maiden also love Nightwish, Rammstein, Jinjer, Arch Enemy, The Warning, Sabaton and Aurora 😎🇧🇻
Great choice of bands, I'm seeing Arch Enemy on Sunday.
Watching Bruce on stage always made me think of a hyper child with the energy he exudes. He is and always shall be the king of frontmen! And that voice! This video honestly doesn’t do his voice justice. It’s even more amazing than you could possibly imagine!
You've gotten me feeling nostalgic about Iron Maiden. I first heard them from one of my best friends back where I grew up. Him and his twin brother lived across the street from the house across the street from me. One day he I went over to his house and knocked on the door to get him to come outside to hang out and he told me to come inside for a minute. He showed me a skate video, Misled Youth and fast forwarded the vhs to Jamie Thomas' part. This song started playing and we both jammed out to it. He found the band name and song name in the credits. It was Wasted Years by Iron Maiden. He told me that, "I'm going to find and listen to everything from this band." From that point on, they were his favorite band and one of my top 3 favorite bands from then on. He actually got to see them live. I had moved away by then, but I still listen and love their music even now. Glad to see you learning about one of the Greatest Bands of all time. Also, check out their lyrics to find out what subjects they are speaking about, it will surprise you.
There are only a few things better in life than Iron Maiden live :) Great reaction.. And I love your stormtrooper in the back! Thank you
I guess it's better to be late to the party than to not show up at all.. Uptheirons🤘
So you probably didn't notice Bruce was flying the tour jet at the very first seconds of the vide.He is skilled pilot and also flew the Ed Force one a 747 from show to show when he was able to get enough rest by law.
They are my favourite band! So happy you finally gave in!
And these guys are the best live band under the sun....150+ songs....the talisman is epic aswell....rime of the ancient mariner....blood brothers....dance of death....the list is huge man....enjoy dude
You should read Bruce's autobiography. He piloted that plane they went in tour with... But that's just a little bit of what makes that guy so special.
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is a great life experience, just like Fear of the Dark, When the Wild Winds Blow, Powerslave, The Clairvoyant, Sign of the Cross, Blood Brothers, The Clansman...
I mean, there are the classics like The Trooper, The Number of the Beast and Run to the Hills, but I don't think these are their best songs - however, they are definitely great live though, so you can't go wrong here either 😂
Bruce Dickinson actually did some really great solo albums. Years of the Dragon, Inertia, Accident of Birth, Chemical wedding, The Tower, Book of Thel, Gates of Urizen, Eternal...
He also worked on a documentary called "Scream for me Sarajevo"... As in his solo tour they went to Sarajevo... During Civil War... It's partially about him and the band, but mostly about the civil war in the balkans and how music helped the young people to keep their hope alive that that war would end.
You'll have a difficult time to find a metal Frontman... Or Sunday un general with such a "CV" 😊 that guy is truly inspiring.
At the time of this show he had already survived tongue cancer and became a airline pilot among other things
Going to an Iron Maiden gig is one of the most fun things u can do with your pants on
Great Reaction! The live performance you chose was from their documentary called Flight 666 (around 2010) and alot of it was when they toured around South America and those metal heads down there are CRAZY for metal. At every concert the crowds were insane. On a side note, the plane you saw landing at the start of the video was theirs (I think a 747) and Bruce has his pilots license and piloted the plane on their tour.
The plane at the start of this video is a leased Boeing 757. They upgraded to a 747 for the Book of Souls tour. If you hunt around TH-cam, you can find little clips from the various tours that Bruce piloted the plane, radio chatter between the pilot and ATC... and yes, some of them, it is Bruce doing the talking. Sadly, he's said he won't be piloting the band's plane anymore, as he's now within a year of the international mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots. I heard this from the man himself, at his Spoken Word tour back in February.
Bruce is just as engaging as a storyteller in a small club, as he is in the big arenas and festivals. He's said that as the front man, it's his job to engage the whole audience and not just the first few rows - that he tries his best to make the people all the way at the back feel as involved as the ones on the barrier.
This song but 1982 performance 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’m gana check it out asap
Agree, Beast Over Hammersmith 1982
Probably the rarest thing about Bruce is how he reinvents and evolves. You might be onto something with those Dragonborn pants.
I've been to every Maiden concert since number of the beast 1981 till present. They're ageless
No worries at all if you're not a fan of Maiden. I'm 56, and was a massive fan when I was in HS in the early '80's and shortly after, but I got burned out on them and long since moved on. Definitely were one of the earliest Metal bands, but the genre has evolved so much over 4 decades. Dickinson, Halford, Dio the Holy Trinity of early Metal vocalists.
And Steve Harris is definitely NOT underrated. He is a legend in the genre. He IS maiden, in that Maiden is his band-he's the Boss!
Great reaction.
Went to my first Maiden concert almost 30 years ago and never stoped since then.
Subscribed and can't wait for more.
Up the irons from Portugal! 🤘
Thank you for subbing!
I just saw them in Tulsa on the 15th, absolutely best concert of my life. You have to see them live!! Been listening to them since 1984, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the poem, they turned into a song almost 14 minutes long.
Dude, We don't know all those singing terms, we just know a good singer when we hear it. It's iconic, we always know the sound of when Bruce Dickenson is about to sing
42 year fan here. Check out “Fear of the Dark” - Live in Rio if you really want to get a feel for their fan base. It’s insane.
Ah yes, IRON MAIDEN! I was on their concert like 2 months ago ❤ Hallowed Be Thy Name is easily their best song (check out Hammersmith 1982 performance as well)
Also check out Fear of the Dark or The Trooper (en vivo), top performances for sure
and if you need more old school metal bands to react, i'm happy to help hahah
I saw them live on legacy of the best US leg and am seeing them live next month again. Their love shows are still so good despite getting older.
Yep I absolutely will!
Yes !! I agree
I was in Paris Bercy during the 2008 somewhere back in time tour , it was incredible to say the least! Maiden playing the tour we all were waiting for!
It’s hard to believe this song is 40 years old
YOU HAVE TO DO RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER!!!!!!!
I will absolutely check it out
See the metal bands from the late 80's and early 90's could actually sing and play their instruments they didn't need auto tune or recorded tracks . That's the difference between great musicians and the musicians of today .
Bruce is a metal god. In 2015, he overcame tongue cancer, and while he was ill, he recorded an entire album named The Book of Souls.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner from the same Somewhere back in time tour. You will be highly impressed and delighted, it is an immaculate performance, and only after that do Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Rock am Ring 2014 this is how you do immersion, they actually transport you to another place! Keep it up, Up the irons! Everyday a new person is exposed to Iron Maiden and enjoys it, our world instantly becomes a bit better. I'm about to see them for the 9th time live, it never gets old, they always impress you in a new way.
Steve Harris the bassist formed band,and pretty much wrote most of the songs they ever recorded!
HE DREAMS A LOT OF HIS DARKER SONGS AND STUFF THATS HOW HE WRITES IT AND VISUALIZE IT HES A LIVING LEGEND PROBABLY MOST APPRICIATED METAL SONGWRITER EVER!
Steve Harris is the bass player.... And a living legend. One of the best players in the history of rock and metal.
You can tell
@@wrighteousj You should really watch this Maiden performance.. th-cam.com/video/2AmrIydnXIs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EvertDurden
@@wrighteousj The "Harris Box" and trademark galloping style put him in the list of top metal bassists; worth watching a few vids on Steve Harris
My big sister and her boyfriend ( bro in law) took me to my first concert in 1988 , it was iron maiden, i was in row 4, we've been to every tour together ever since and my kids started coming when they were 14 and it was their first concert too. They are without a doubt the greatest live act i ever seen, (including the big 4 and others) They are all about their fans. This is the band that refused to announce a new tour until everyone who had tickets to gigs cancelled by the pandemic had seen the tour they paid for.
Just to give Bruce even more legendary status. He was the one flying Ed Force One to the show.
best reaction!
Thank you for watching!
one little fun fact, bruce dickinson the present time (and longest time) singer of iron maiden is TOO the one piloting their plane (called "ed force one" as a joke between maiden zombie mascot eddy and the american presidential plane "air force one")!
I just saw that and I don’t even know how to respond lol!
@@wrighteousj you are a singer so you just need to became a pilot too lol!
In case you didn't notice bruce is the pilot flying the plane in the beginning.
Bruce Dickinson is my favorite vocalist of all time but this is maybe a quarter of what he was back in the 80's before he had throat cancer and the resulting surgery. I saw Maiden in concert in 1985 and they were phenomenal!!!
I saw them in 1985 and again a few months ago in Columbus Ohio and you are right about what he has lost vocally. They are still great live though
I saw Iron Maiden live about 25 years ago in Sydney Australia - one of the best concerts I have EVER been to - the energy was insane
Rammstein are incredible live too.
Iron Maiden's original record covers are awesome (yes - OG vinyl) - they blew my mind as a teen.
Though I must admit....Really looking forward to more BTS reactions from you💜
Thank you!
The Talisman live from En Vivo. Insane performance. Unreal.
My joy in watching his video is your joy in watching Maiden. I've followed the group since 1979, they don't bow down to the media and as you quite rightly said they have forged there own path. The reason they are arguably the best metal band of all time is the legacy they have and the word of mouth that brings new fans to the family. May I wish you success with your own group and thank you for a great breakdown of my favourite Maiden song of all time. Now go forth and listen to the back catalogue you'll not be disappointed.....PJ;)
The entire band, even to this day with them all being in their 60's now, are all still elite musicians!! Steve Harris/bass is regarded as the elite of elite metal bassists. Nicko Mcbrain/drums, top 5 metal drummer, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith/guitars, best metal guitar tandem ever and last but certainly not least, Bruce Dickinson the absolute best metal singer alive!
Not a Gers fan then? 😂
I love maiden I really do but saying bruice can still sing is rediculas. He hasn't been right since the cancer, his voice cuts out on certain notes in live performances and is badly covered with echo effects or somthing and his vocals on recent albums have been quite breathy and monotone
Nicko is 70!
Jump into the live performance of Bruce doing Tears of the Dragon with Tribuzy. Vocally mind blowing. Deeeep rabbit hole you landed in here mate, enjoy ;)
Fun fact about the 3 guitarists - there were originally 2 for the longest time. One decided to leave for a few years in the 90s but instead of returning and taking his spot back, the band decided to try it with 3 of them together and it's been that way ever since.
The man also has recovered from throat cancer in 2015 and still sounds amazing.
