      @@brianeleighton dude, who cares. I never watch these retard "react" videos because they are stupid, and this one just confirmed it.
      I like Bruce's voice and maybe just because of that I got a little curious and watched this one a bit and got annoyed.
      I don't like all the fake over reacting. No one does this hysteria watching music videos alone or even with friends in a normal situation. But then there is the "react" videos of these people crazy for attention making stupid faces, eyes and mouths in front of the camera. The reason so many people like such videos is beyond comprehension. Stupidity in this modern society is a huge thing.

Saw them live 6 times and even went I went alone, I found friends and a huge amount of respect for anyone who saw them perform. Iron Maiden truly engage with their fans and always give 110% to make sure we have a blast and enjoy their music. So glad she enjoys hearing them and can see just how much they care about us the fans. Long live Iron Maiden 🤘

      Like for a split and fleeting moment, Everything is done and made FOR this sole moment, that the whole univers and your whole life was made for this.

      I was born in 1981 and thanks to my uncle I began to listen to Heavy Metal since I was in my crib. My first memory comes with "Bark at the moon", obviously I listened to it years after the release, but I was 4 years old. Then, during my kindergarten years I discovered Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and many more cool bands. If there is a band who joins me with my uncle (he was like a dad for me), it's Iron Maiden. Sometimes I listened to albums of the 80's... Powerslave, Piece of mind, The seventh son of the seventh son... The whole decade and it's magic and I shall accept it, I cry... I thank to my uncle, whenever he is. I miss him. Receive my best wishes for you and your beloved ones

      Absolutely, but I understand the idea of going for a slightly newer version on this channel as she's already heard "young Bruce", so this was more similar to his sound now, while Rio is obviously not in the 80's, but he sounds younger than this version. If anything, maybe she should've picked a newer performance than Flight 666 rather than an older one.

    His stance comes from his extensive fencing background. He was quite good and narrowly missed making the Olympic team. He was ranked 4th best in the UK. Bruce is what you call a polymath which is somebody who achieves a very high level in multiple disciplines. Bruce is also an accomplished pilot who holds a commercial airline license

    At the end of the documentary "Global Metal", we end up at the first ever Iron Maiden concert in India, and the band opens up with Fear of the Dark. The audience all sings along flawlessly, because Iron Maiden fans are Iron Maiden fans, the world over. And Bruce gets a big grin on his face, like he's just been introduced to long lost family members. I do hope you get a chance to chat over tea with Bruce - he's a sweet, thoughtful guy who really does love his audiences.

    Fear of the Dark is like Holy Diver, most famous song but not the best. If you want appreciate Bruce not only in vocals but in composition, Revelations (was the first song written for Iron Maiden), it is a masterpiece and of course have a fantastic performance by Bruce.

    Regarding Bruce's endurance, in preparation before every tour, Bruce will put on roller skates and sing the entire concert setlist, all the songs, from beginning to end while roller skating in an empty parking lot to make sure he has enough endurance, build up his cardio and can last the whole concert. This is why he always has so much energy and is able to run around on stage and still deliver amazing vocals and not get tired.

It is only natural that he is not going to be as good as he was in the 80s. That doesn't make him any less and I don't need to say "amazing" at this performance.

    So, Slaven was called on some "charity dinner" or something like that in London. He went to the elevator and behold, Bruce Dickinson enters with him. Slaven almost fell off, completely star strucked, being a huge RockNRoll fan in general, but mostly liking heavier stuff, like metal, grunge etc.
    And he says to Bruce that hed give huis whole football career for one stage show exoperience infront of thousands (he plays guitar also).
    And Bruce replies hed give his whole music career to run once on the football pitch in West Ham jersey.
