I'm not a huge Iron Maiden fan, but man Bruce Dickinson is one of my heroes. In 1994, in the middle of the Bosnian war, he travelled to Sarajevo to play a gig for us. It Was very dangerous, there were snipers everywhere, who were shooting at everything that moves. There is also a movie about that gig called "scream for me sarajevo". My Brother Was at this concert, i was too young, so my mother would not let me go. Unfortunately my Brother was shot few weeks later, 2 days after his 18th birthday. Everytime i listen to Iron Maiden i am thinking of my Brother.
Such a sad story....sorry to hear🥺
I couldn't help crying while reading your story. Sadly the human being never learn the lesson about war. I send you all my love and appreciation.
Yes, what Bruce did in '94 was unbelievable. And to hear from people who lived it from within, people who lost friends and relatives is shocking. This documentary is touching you even when you are an outsider. Let alone if you were in the middle of this. Sorry for your loss man!
😢Please accept my words of condolence.
Thanks for this information. as a diehard Maiden fan, I love hearing these kinds of stories. I just looked it up "scream for me Sarajevo" there is a documentary about that show. I'm going to watch tomorrow.
Steve Harris, the bass player, is one of the most influential bassists in metal and one of Iron Maiden's primary songwriters. He's a true legend!
He IS Iron Maiden.
He inspired me too play the bass
He's the Iron Maiden's soul.
He is so more then that!!! He is the BOSS of GODS!!!
It wouldn't be fair to not include Nicko McBrain when talking about Steve Harris and his awesome bass lines. Nicko makes the bass and percussion really come together.
God damn YES! Finally someone that acknowledges the amazing bass line steve played in this performance. It really adds depth to the song and I find myself vibing to the bass more often than the melody, no disrespect to adrian and dave though, they played their hearts out too.
No band in history has a more recognizable and distinctive bass line than Iron Maiden
Bruce was a force of nature back in the day. Still going strong in his sixties, but 80's Maiden were magical live.
They are still touring so….go and see them live, you’ll love them.
And they have the best stage shows.
They just played California last week September 2022
Catch them soon. They are in their 70s, Nico has been diagnosed with MS, it sounds like this might be their final tour 😢😢😢😢
Bruce Dickinson is one of the greatest "metal" vocalists of all time.
But the band is the complete package. Has been in my top 3 favs since I discovered them in '83.
And Bruce has barely slowed down in his old age...still running around full of energy on stage!
He's barely slowed down after he had a golf ball sized tumor removed from his throat too. He is an absolute trooper, pun fully intended.
Around ten days ago, I saw them live (for who knows what time) and they blew me away. I was simply amazed by how good Bruce sounded, despite the age. And the energy of the entire band, well it is still present, no doubt.
I would agree and add that he is one the greatest ever....in any genre
Even after throat cancer still going strong.
Without Steve Harris NOTHING goes in Iron Maiden, he's the heart and souls of the band since the beginning. Bruce is an awesome frontman and singer, one of the greatest hardrock/metal frontmen in history. I saw Maiden live several times and it was absolutely divine every time. I was born in 1972 and i grew up with with hard rock and metal thanks to my parents, may they both rest in piece. My father left me an absolute awesome collection of vinyl, from Black Sabbath to Deep Purple, Motörhead, Rolling Stones and many more, and ofc Iron Maiden.
Studio sound is one thing but live is the true test. One of the best live bands ever.
Hallowed Be Thy Name is without doubt in the top 3 best metal songs of all time. Such a masterpiece! :)
AGREE but no one like my favorite Still Life... 🪨
Up the f'ing irons!
Go on down the Maiden Rabbithole!You won't regret it!My tipp: the ancient Mariner,the Trooper...ALL of the stuff from the 80s...!This Band is fu%$ing amazing!!!!!
The Trooper is awesome, 2 minutes to midnight, Aces High... so many cool songs.
Prowler!
Rime of the Acient Mariner Live on the Flight 666 Tour is a Must watch. Very epic Storytelling. Love Iron Maiden. Thanks for doing this Reactions ♥️
I have to disagree with you. If anything listen to Ryme of the Ancient Mariner on the studio album. OR, Listen to the Live After Death live version. Less special affects. You focus more on the musicianship and performance….. I have spoken
damn one of the best song
Live After Death has the best concert performance of Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, in my humble opinion 🤘
Yes the 666 tour was amazing.
Killer bass lines in that one too.
I got in to Maiden when I was 11 and I’m 47 now, I still feel like a kid when I listen to Maiden. This band is literally like oxygen to me…
Same for me, but my numbers are 15 and 55
To answer your question- yes his voice stays right on point the entire show even after 2 hours of face melting high powered rock. I’ve seen them many times and he’s a vocal god. Iron Maiden rules
Bruce, the Human Air Raid Siren, Dickinson is the lead singer, he also pilots their 747 called Ed Force One amongst so many endeavors. Keep bringing Maiden 🙏 UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘
It's not there plane., hes a good singer that's it,
@@zzzz803 They lease the aircraft, but Bruce most certainly is the pilot and he did fly that aircraft to every single date on the tour. That was a few years ago and I know things change, but Bruce is far more than just a good singer.
@@kwantoon He's also an accomplished fencer. As well as piloting Ed Force One, he also has worked as an airline pilot in between Iron Maiden tours.
HAHAHA. In addition to these, hes an author, military historian, radio dj, etc. Hes a true polymath. There is no "and thats it" with Bruce Dickinson.
@bren s
Along with Rob Halford and the late Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson has to be tied for best metal singer of his generation. And he's still out there doing it in his 60s. If you haven't checked out Halford and Dio's stuff you're missing out. Great reaction!
The most incredible thing is that Bruce and Rob still sound FUCKING AMAZING.
@@PeglegSailor Absolutely! When I first listened to Writing on the Wall, I was like no way! And Rob's still great too. They don't we quite have the range they used to, but I think their voices have gained character. Not a bad trade off.
Don’t forget about Queensryche Geoff Tate…. Queen of the Reich and Take hold of the Flame… songs that should never be ignored.
@@Bathoryx619 utmost respect to Geoff and Queensryche. The unfortunate thing about them is like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden they had had their differences of opinion, but where Rob and Bruce eventually found their way back, the Queensryche feud never healed sort of like Waters vs Gilmore. Which is a damned shame because the band had great chemistry while it lasted
yes Dio, Halford and Bruce, the Unholy Trinity of metal singers. definitely need to check out Judas Priest and Dio almost any song is epic
I have seen Iron Maiden 8 times over the years. Bruce still has the pipes. Never disappoints, they are still one of my favorite bands. They are so talented. Incredible musicians.
I enjoyed this video. Most reactors look like they are pretending to be interested, but you were genuinely enjoying this. Maiden is the best band ever.
I appreciate that
The fact she spotted the bass early on is a key note to attentiveness.
Yeah many reactors are just reacting to catch a buck 💵, not for the music.
I don't sub to those when I spot em.
@@AileenSenpai subbed! Bass lovers unite!
Everyone should experience Iron maiden live!
I'm going to see them in October for the first time!
Yes, they’re amazing in concert.
@@collinnicholasns Chicago? I'm there on the floor!
@@ray7419 actually I'm going to the show in south Dakota it's the closest they are coming to me, really hoping that I can get to see priest when they come through again. Then I will have seen at least 2 of the 3 greatest voices in metal
Ticked that off on the weekend and its phenomenal!
You have finally discovered the greatest metal band in history!, Bruce Dickinson has easliy one of the greatest vocals in rock, Steve Harris the bassist is easily regarded as probably the greatest bass player on the planet even now, and Adrian and Dave well...the best guitar duo ever, total syncronicity, this was taken somewhere around 1983, since then their drummer has changed but their music has only grown over the years for the better, saw them in 1988 before starting high school with guns n roses as the opening act, you get your moneys worth, like their albums which are 2 hour epic albums. I suggest Fear of the Dark from their En Vivo dvd live in Santiago Chile.
It's at Hammersmith Odeon, the Beast over Hammersmith tour, March 1982 just before the release of their 3d album The number of the beast.
Iron Maiden is the best live band ever. Their concerts are like metal operas. The bass player is Steve Harris, and he writes the majority of the songs. Bruce Dickinson is the singer and is considered one of the metal gods....he is also a commercial airline pilot, a poetry scholar, a world class fencer, and whatever the hell else he wants to do. Now all in their 60s the band still tours, still puts out killer music, and still has more energy on stage than any 5 bands half their age.
Their shows are definitely like metal operas, so much going on and all the thousands of people just standing there jaws dropped and eyes wide.
Along with Ramstein and Muse
Metallica is more fun to watch live imo, I love maiden but Metallica gives me more energy
all ever speak about beatles or rolling stones or led zeppelin and pink floyd, but by far most for the modern music did maiden and sabbath...
I went to their concert a couple of years back and they opened with 'Aces High' with a huge fighter plane over the croud moving back and forth. It was a life experience for sure. It was awesome.
I was lucky enough to see Maiden twice on this tour. I was 17 at the time, now I'm 57 and still listening to Maiden.
Yes. Yes, you should do more Iron Maiden. "Fear Of The Dark" Rock In Rio Live Version. You're welcome and stay as awesome as you are 🤜🤛
My first metal band. In 1985, a cute girl asked me what I wanted for Christmas (in front of the cool kids). So I said "The new Iron Maiden," because one of the cool kids always wore their shirts. 35 years later, I'm still a die-hard fan.
If you are looking for stage presence and energy, try “The Clansman” live at Rock in Rio. They were still dominating the stage for hours when they were older than I am right now.
As an old-school metal freak, I consider the holy triumvirate of metal Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden... you cannot go wrong with any of these 3 masters, for more Maiden classics I recommend Fear of the Dark, Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Afraid to Shoot Strangers live for a fantastic primer into their extensive repertoire... you are in for a real treat!
Seeing them live is a must. Bruce live is something everyone must experience. His vocals are incredible especially after the dealing with/surviving tongue cancer. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours during a evening with (autobiography talk) tour in the last year where he, at the request from the crowd, sung some parts of songs acapella and the power and clarity of his voice is just amazing. Plus the energy he has on stage just puts most young bands front men to shame. Soo many great songs, far to many to name, and picking a favourite album is hard enough never mind favourite song, enjoy!
Bruce Dickinson is a friggin' legend! He took Maiden into the next level. And not only is he a great vocalist and frontman, he's an excellent fencer and accomplished pilot (he actually flew for British World Airways then started his own aviation company, even pilots the Iron Maiden Tour jet!) Owns a couple businesses. Even kicked cancer's ass!
The vibrato: To Infinity and beyond...😄😄😄😄😄
Bruce really get his mouth open wide to really get the most out of his singing and really project his voice, amazing.
One of the best shows Ive been to was their Somewhere Back in Time Tour in 2008. Their song Rime of the Ancient Mariner was epic!!
I absolutely love watching young people discover music I've loved since the early 80s! Keep digging, there's tons of amazing stuff for you to discover and I really enjoyed your presentation. You've got a fantastic voice! That's coming from someone with over 30 years in broadcasting. (Awesome production value. Everything sounded perfect). I liked. I subscribed. I'm watching.
Dave
WOW that means a lot! Thank you! ❤️
there once was a live recording called "live after death" from the long beach arena.. Bruce;s voice does not flinch till the end... btw, this brings back memories of clive burr.. amazing drummer
I met Steve Harris at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio in 1992. He gave me and my band free tickets and backstage after-show passes to the show 2 days later in Detroit, Michigan. Such an awesome group of guys!
"when you know that your time is close in hand, maybe then you'll begin to understand, life down here is just a strange illusion ." those words have haunted me since I first heard this song as a kid, reading the lyrics along to this song. A true masterpiece that I'll never grow tired listening to.
I used that line as my senior quote in high school
Oooh i recommended this to you a couple weeks back :). I'm going to give you a top Maiden list, prepare for face melting awesomeness. You made me smile all throughout your reaction :)

Welcome to the family. I've been a Maiden fan since 1981 seen them 30 times since 81....greatest Metal band on the planet.
Just discovered your channel. Thanks for reviewing this (and other Maiden songs I’ll watch). I was about 14 years old when this came out and remains one of my favorites from Maiden. In fact, I think it’s the best metal song ever created!
The only probably with performances of this song this early in their career is at 08:00 you don't get the now legendary and staple "SCREAM FOR ME *Insert location*". Greatest band ever, greatest live band ever and one of the greatest songs ever written.
They've only gotten better with age! You should check out some of their newer stuff from their tour Death on the Road. Up the Irons!
Still great, yes, better..no the 80’s run of albums are at another level. Oh and I love those new ones too.
up the irons 💪
Iron Maiden was my introduction to heavy metal and made me a fan of the genre, they were my favorite band and still are, they have alot of popular songs but ever one of their albums has some hidden gems, so you have to listen to their full albums to really hear what they have
Huge Iron Maiden Fan and Bruce Dickenson is a hero of mine he's classically educated, wrote 2 books, volunteered to pilot planes bringing troops home.
Maiden hold a special place in my heart for being the first metal band i heard when 12 and couldn't beileve this kinda sound was out in the world and i didnt know about it. It started my journey to everything metal. 28 years later im still on that journey. But every now and then i go back to maiden and still feel like that kid again. Still great music. Pure legends.
Oh man you have a journey in front of you. There is SO SO much more than Metallica, whose early stuff was good but they lost their way imo. Iron Maiden, to me, is the pinnacle of metal from this era.
First concert I saw, 1983, it was this tour the first with Bruce Dickenson. I was 13 years old; quite an experience. I was about 3rd row and they opened for Judas Priest who were also awesome. It's the bass players band for the most part, he writes a lot of the songs and has been there since the beginning, Steve Harris is his name.
I have seen Iron Maiden 17 times since 1982 and I will see them 17 more times if they come.. they never ever disappoint
One of the greatest songs and moments in Metal History........This song transcends genre and taste....Its simply magical in how beautiful and powerful it is. Bravo!
The very first metal band I got into in the early 80s. Still one of my all time favs!!!! Keep doin what ya doin. You’re absolutely killin it!!
Same here, I progressed to Maiden after AC/DC. True great music is timeless and ageless. Not like the overproduced and corpatate shit now they call music. Music as a whole has devolved. Devo were correct. Or am I just getting to old?
Iron Maiden is so good. For almost 50yrs they've been killing it
Love seeing people discover Iron Maiden!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!
Absolute legends. Really happy you're getting into them.
Great to see you dive into Maiden! Bruce Dickinson is one of my favourite vocalists of all time, simply fantastic! As a bonus, he seems to be a genuinely nice guy! 😀
When you listen to IRON Maiden it is a must to listen to LIVE they are THE BEST LIVE BAND NO COMPARISON PERIOD
It's never too late to start listening to Iron Maiden
Great reaction video! You should do more Maiden, like "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner", "The Trooper", "Alexander The Great", "Where Eagles Dare" or any song by Iron Maiden, since they are all great! :D You should also definitely check out Ronnie James Dio, both his solo stuff but also with Rainbow and Black Sabbath! His voice! He is amazing! The G.O.A.T in my book! Looking forward to watching your journey in to this great time for music!
Hey Aileen. I saw everyone who was anyone in the 80s and Iron Maiden hands down gave the best most consistent performances. Bruce's energy and Steve's pounding bass were amazing! Dave and Adrian"s guitars blew my mind! I suggest you start at the beginning, the 1st singer, Paul Di'Anno was very different than Bruce but equally talented. Enjoy the journey though this iconic band!
Iron Maiden is absolutely my favorite band, hands down, the lyrics combined with the instrumental arrangements are incredible. Their “galloping tempo”is their signature.Saw them live and Bruce and the guys maintain this for the full set,, the atmosphere is palatable in the parking lot!
Bruce is in another level. NOBODY can compare to him. it wouldnt be fair
This is considered to be one of the all time greatest metal songs. It was the closing track on The Number of the Beast which was Bruce Dickinson’s first album with the band. And one of the cool things about this performance is it was a few days before the album was released so nobody in the crowd had heard the song before. Just imagine what a treat that would be.
Another great reaction, I just realized I was not subscribed. So I am now. Keep up the great work and good luck in all you do.
PS: Great ink on your arm. :)
Thank you so much! 🤘🏼
Im 57 saw maiden from 81 to 2000, and i love that someone loves the music.... carry the flag people it only gets better
I've been a fan since 1980. They are definitely the best metal band. They always give 110%. You seriously have a lot more songs to check out.
Great reaction. Subscribed. Steve Harris is my favorite metal bass player and wrote a lot of the songs. Best metal bassist, imo.
Thanks for the sub!
This is most popular and most reacted to Iron Maiden song on TH-cam. From 1982 Live at Hammersmith. Bruce Dickinson at his best. You'll find major bass line with Steve Harris on bass. The founder and main song writer for Iron Maiden.

The truly remarkable thing about Maiden is that they have not just endure the years but have come out on top through ins-and-outs of various fashion and whatever... Their audience is bigger than it ever has been and I saw them live a few years ago and it made me feel like a fourteen-year-old all over again. They are every bit as energetic and sound fantastic to this day. If you get a chance to see the second leg of the legacy of the Beast tour that they are on right now go do it! You will not be disappointed
Hi from Sheffield Yorkshire England this is 1 of the original bands the first to bring us what was to become HEVY METAL in the PURIST form
A must watch is fear of the dark from rock in rio
Its just amazing
Great reaction. Imo Bruce's best live performances were recorded in the 2000s when it comes to vocals. Their studio albums have always been amazing, but they used to perform for over 2 hrs three times a week and as you can hear, it took so toll on his voice. This is a hard song to sing but i think he did a better job of singing this sing during mid-2000s and early 2010, especially after he took classes to improve his voice. One of his best vocal performance is a live version of his song Tears of the dragon. The one where he is wearing baggy shorts and just vibing.
Whenever I see the younger generation discovering for the first time and embracing the types of rock and metal for which I was fortunate enough to have grown up with as these bands began their journey (I was a kid), it makes me so very proud to witness the same types of reactions which I also experienced during that same initial exposure (great music will always have an audience, no matter the generation).
Your sincere joy, enthusiasm and genuine love literally brought a tear to my eye
...which I quickly wiped away, 'cause...you know..."Metal" and such ;)
I've been listening to Maiden since I was 13 in 2000. Im 34 now and have nearly every album they came out with. I was introduced to them by an MTV special. My first CD of theirs was Piece of Mind. I had to buy a new Piece of Mind CD because I wore my original one out 😅
I've only seen them one time like ten years ago. Bruce was unreal. He never stopped running the whole show. It was exhausting just to watch him. Dude is a marathoner obvi.
"Tears are flowing, why am I crying? After all I'm not afraid of dying, could I believe that there never is an end?"
I love the lyrics of this song, a man walking to his execution and not quite grasping the reality of the situation
*don't I belive that there is an end?
It's a question to himself
I really envy you! I've grown up listening to maiden since a kid, oh to hear them all again with a fresh ear knowing all you have to enjoy! A few things for you, as well as being one damn great singer he is also a commercial air line pilot and in some videos you'll see him flying the band's jet, Ed force 1... He's also a world class fencer! (The sword type, not as in putting fences up lol ) he has also recovered from throat cancer and his voice now is just as brilliant if not even better! You have so many gems ahead but I'd recommend paschendale (live) and rime of the ancient mariner... As well as they're latest offering, the writing on the wall (w a breathtaking video!!)
I'm going to enjoy following you on your journey .. enjoy... And Up the Irons!!!
Andy in England
Drums and bass at the end... No words.
I’m so unbelievably late to the Iron Maiden party, but BOY am I glad I am finally there! Holy shit, these guys rock! Glad you reacted to them and are discovering them too.
Great reaction as always. Other popular Maiden songs: The trooper, Fear of the dark, The number of the beast, Paschendale, Aces High, Run to the Hills, 2 minutes to midnight and many more. I do think The trooper or Run to the hills would be good seconds as they are their most iconic songs imo.
Agreed. I’m currently listening to wasted years.
Even Bruce Dickinson's solo work is amazing! "The Chemical Wedding" and "Tears of the Dragon" are great ones to start with.
But yeah, all of Maiden are fantastic. The band lineup changed a little over time, but at this point in time it was:
BRUCE DICKINSON (Vocals) - This was his first tour with the band promoting the first album with him, 3rd album overall, replacing Paul Di'anno who had a different style. Bruce temporarily quit in the mid 90's and they did 2 albums with Blaze Bayley. Again, different style but great. Bruce returned in 1999 and his been there since.
STEVE HARRIS (Bass) - Maiden is his baby. He started the band and named it. He writes a great deal of their songs but Bruce writes, too.
DAVE MURRAY (Guitar) - Like Steve, he is on every album. He's the one with blonde hair.
ADRIAN SMITH (Guitar) - Played on almost every album. He quit in 1990 and was replaced with JANICK GERS. When Bruce returned, so did Adrian, but they kept Janick, so they've had 3 guitarists since 1999.
CLIVE BURR (Drums) - Played on the first 3 albums. Left the band after this tour for physical reasons, replaced with NICKO McBRAIN who has been with them since 1983
They are still doing 2hr+ concerts today, and they still finish with as much energy as this video has, and this vids about 39years ago..
Miss Aileen Senpai, you asked how they can do this? How can he sustain his voice through all of these sets while bouncing around the stage and doing this so flawlessly. I've known a few people in bands who followed after Iron Maiden, AC/DC and the other greats. The short version is this is not a job for them. This is not a career. This is not an Operatic performance that they must prepare for painstakingly.
Pure and simple, this is love. They are genuinely and completely in love with what they are doing.
This is not work for them, this is their life’s dream fulfilled.
So true
I got stationed at Pearl Harbor Hawaii in February 1985. I went through the gate and on the sign it said Iron Maiden tickets. I bought a ticket and rode Da Bus to the show at The Neil Blaisdale Arena in downtown Honolulu. They were AWESOME!!! The show was March 31 1985. Honolulu was a great place to see bands that were either going to Japan or coming back. I got to see many bands I was stationed there for almost 10 years in The Navy. I can always say Iron Maiden was my first band I saw there. Years later I’m hanging out in the Jazz Celler a local heavy metal bar and at the bar is one of the lead guitar players for Maiden. I asked one of my security guard friends if that was him and they said yes he lives here when they’re not on tour.
Watching you enjoying these songs, as I did when they first came out, is like watching my kids open their Christmas presents. Your Too cute!
You're right that base was kicking ass. You're also right its never same Everytime they play it. I've never heard the bass that clear on this one. It really sounded good.
I have been listening to them for most of my life. They are amazing! I can't wait to see them again live this July!
Bruce has been an accomplished athlete throughout his life, an exceptional fencer. Actually he was part of the vet team for the English fencing team that won the silver medal in this years European championship.
He is the personalization of the word stamina.
But the whole band is exceptional. I was never able to decide which member is my favourite.
They are always amazing live! Even in bad days!
Wow, every single time, Iron maiden gets reactions makes my day, you are in for life changing reaction, nothing will be the same after knowing them. Up with the irons!!
"The sands of time are running loooow'. One of the best metal songs ever, if not the best. Every other metal band bow before Maiden.
Im 47. Been fan since day 1. Listen to the live version of this song 30 years later. Same instrumental. Same fierce voice. Same crowd reaction.
Saw 'em live in Toronto, Canada back in the mid-00s. One of the best shows I've ever been to.
Iron Maiden’s individual members are all very high caliber musicians. Bruce Dickinson is a vocal freak of nature. He can sing like that start to finish. He’s done it since the early 80’s and STILL does it today. Welcome to Maiden!! Your life will never be the same again!
I seen them live on 5 different occasions and I'm almost 60 now and still get the chills
Maiden. Loved them since 1983. Wow. You have a lot of songs to listen to. The entire number of the beast album is awesome. All the albums are great. You might like DIO also. I love him too. 🤘
Bless you for watching this version. Too many reaction channels miss this one.
I seen Iron Maiden warm up for Judas Priest in Detroit 1982..
What a great show.....
My first live concert..
Bruce's Voice/Throat fought and destroyed cancer.. :)
Absolutely classic metal and pioneers of the genre. What I love about them is they were so melodic with great arrangements. Great lyrics that were actually sung by an iconic voice. Up the Irons!
Bruce Dickinson vocals
Steve Harris bass, founding member
Adrian Smith ( the red guitar 🎸)

The late incredible Clive Burr Drummer.
I'm 58, first maiden album I got was Iron Maiden 1980, first Maiden concert was with UFO in 1981.
Spectacular ❤.
Pure talent & power.. no audio correct or computer help.. 100% real... Legit !!!!
This truly is one of the greatest versions of this song ever recorded.
However, to answer your question about Bruce's vocal stamina... Same song, Live After Death Video.
It's about 3/4 the way through the concert, and the energy of the band and the song, is even higher.
Welcome.
Up the Irons!
I went to see them in concert 2 weeks ago, 2 hours of incredible show! Bruce has an incredible voice and has the same energy to sing and run on stage! 🤘
IMHO, this is the very best of Maiden's songs, and that is saying a lot. I mean, their catalog is so big and so good, but Hallowed Be Thy Name is where it's at for me - Quintessential Maiden.
Very good reaction. I will see iron maiden for the 6th time July 22nd in Gothenburg Sweden
My favourite song Aileen !! Thank you!
I love this band an been a fan of them for a wilez .the lead singer is Bruce Dickinson
Iron Maiden is favorite metal band ever! Bruce has the most powerful voice in metal in my opinion.
