Fun Fact: The lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, is an author, entrepreneur, world class Fencer, actor, broadcaster, an airplane pilot (he flies the band's plane), and he beat tongue cancer. He also has one of the biggest vocal ranges in metal.
well, Rick, Iron Maiden's private plane is a 747... not your usual private plane :)
Facts!!!🤣
And he got his cancer interestingly 😜
So many careers , like my man Johnny Sins
Don't forget he brews his own ale!
The best thing about Fear of the Dark is that the crowd is just another instrument. And we all know our part lol
Crazy...
ty alma i love Maiden and was inspred 38 years ago to but a bass guitar and rock it to this day!!
Its always best to be in metal family..
First time I really got that sense from an audience, not just for this song but in general, was when I heard Fear of the Dark live in Helsinki, on the A Real Live One album
Rock in Rio 2001 . it was 250000 fans there .Unbeliveble crowd.
from pictures ive seen there were people with giant screen in the streets and some plazas like A HUGE ASS DISTANCE away from where maiden were. thats was DOPE
BRASIL PORRAAAAA
Brasil porra!!!
Metallica played in Moscow 1991 and the audience was nearly 1.6 million people 😁
And I was there..
This is Brazil. These people don’t know most of the words they are saying. But they know every word to Iron Maiden.
I've never met a metal head who doesn't like Maiden. They are the band who unites us all. We're blood bothers!
Mic Zen I see what you did there. 😉
I don't like them. Now you met one.
@@stefanvujadinovic9991 Then maybe you aren't a metal head. 😉 It's cool, different strokes for different folks. What's your favourite metal band?
Way too old to have a favourite band.
I'm not a huge fan of them honestly. Like, if it comes on in a compilation or something, I won't turn it off and I'm fine listening to Iron Maiden, but I never went out of the way to actually listen to them. I just can't get into Bruce's voice, no matter what, it just... annoys me for some reason, can't explain why. Personally the only two Maiden albums I listened to a LOT were the ones that probably most people hate: The X Factor and Virtual XI.
Alex: I've noticed through your Journey of Metal, that several things have happened:
- You've gained immense respect for Metal and those are deemed followers of it.
- Your surprise is leveling out to the norm we metal heads have for large crowds at concerts. It really is like this always, no matter the venue.
- You've realized that metal has a message and it isn't just a bunch of loud unintelligble screaming. Well, most anyway. haha.
- You've seen how diverse Metal is: many genres, many sounds, all kick ass.
- You noticed the dude in the crowd with the tongue action: its why we get the hot chicks.
I offer respect in return of this honest evaluation you've uncovered through your Metal-land Journey. One of us. One of us. One of us.
Also, here's the obligatory request for Chevelle. C'mon, you knew it was comin...
Morden Geist Chevelle - Sleep Apnea. Or A meeting with El Diablo. Or A letter from a Thief. For realz bruh!
The best thing about Alex's journey is that it mirror so much of our own when we were discovering metal for the first time. I remember rearing the band for the first time through a telephone and just getting my mind freaking blown.
Dude, rearing the band? Terrible typo there lol!!
Is it a typo? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@DikkieDaf Through a telephone no less! ;p
Man.. 250.000 people.....rock in Rio 2001. I was there!
Brazilians are INSANE. Even not speaking English they can go crazy with the bands. So proud!
Com certeza 🤘
Blind Guardian - The Bard's song from Wacken 2011 ❤
Or 2016`s. In this year crowd sing better.)
280.000 in that crowd, i think i read somewere.
was there. it was breathtaking.
And Valhalla!
Would love to see this, though the 2016 recording has better quality :)
I've seen them at WoA 2007 and the huge crowd makes you really understand the speed of sound. Still one of the best live performances i've experienced so far.
It is impossible for me to listen to a live version of this song without getting goosebumps when the crowd chants along. GOOSEBUMPS, BRO!
i WAS THERE!! 13KM AWAY FROM MY HOUSE IN RIO. I WAS 16 (now 34). THAT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! 19 JANUARY 2001 ROCK IN RIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Renan Alves i could be here that day..... at one day old 😂😂😂
Lucky you i am in algeria those big rock bands dont come , are there lot of rock fans in Brazil
south american does know how to enjoy concert
youuu lucky foooooock!
I saw Maiden during the "Fear of the dark" tour, that was the only time I saw them. It was AMAZING THOUGH!!!😂
Tb tava! Tinha acabado de fazer 18... sou de 17/01.
A wise man once told me:
"Everyone is a metalhead kid, they just haven't realized it yet"
That crowd was over 250,000 people. One of the biggest shows in metal
If that's Rock in Rio it was ~300,000 and was the largest crowd for any performance, ever.
@@IAmDaedem what about monsters of Moscow? Over 1 million people
@@knumnutz75 monsters of Moscow was that many people over a several day span. Not all at once.
@@IAmDaedem it was def rock in Rio. I've watched that video many times lol. But yeah I've seen many different numbers for it. Generally ranging from 250k to 300k
Oh the wiki article on Rock in Rio stated single artist performances only, not festivals. I imagine festivals have had more than Rock in Rio but it was the largest crowd for a single artist.
HipHop Head transformed to a MetalHead.
You can see the transformation happening. He starts head banging and even throws up the horns.
T-shirt with Nightwish))
Its healthier anyways
Sounds like me in the late 80's. I was a hip-hop head,til I heard Ratt and motley crue on the radio!💙
No shame or worries, there was a time I used to listen to other genres of music. Suddenly Metal came into my life. It was my destiny 😄
I was at this show. Rock in Rio 3.
me too
Me too!!!
Tá todo mundo com cara de BR aqui falando inglês. Sucks that I never seen them live.
Same here. 2001. Was a great few days. At least what I remember. Halford put on a decent show as well. This was the only time I saw them out of the U.S. I've been to every U.S. tour since they started to tour the states. I was also on Long Beach, CA when they recorded Live After Death. I was at the Sunday show. The last of a 4 day stint there.
I got my ticket for 2019
The sad thing is my dad singing this to me was the only way to get me to sleep as a child, and I still listen to it on repeat if I can't sleep
The whole seventh son of a seventh son album (IRON MAIDEN). Its a concept album so it can be weird if you dont listen to the whole album in the order it's supposed to be in. Its my favourite album and I promise its great. UP THE IRONS!
It's my #1 all-time album, so yeah, great pick for a Maiden album! I think Alex would totally dig Moonchild, The Evil That Men Do, and Seventh Son in particular.
@@Kylora2112Those three songs are my favourites from the album, along with 'only the good die young'. You have great taste in music my friend!😂
Some other songs that I really like are 'powerslave', 'caught somewhere in time' and 'flight of Icarus' which I think Alex would like too.
Thats a good one, top tier too, but " "Best of the Beast 1996" are just as good, Best of the Beast would make for a better video, because if he wants to check out the songs from there original albums, it will give him incentive to check out all there best albums, like Live after Death, Powerslave, Peace of Mind, killers, Numberof the Beast and Fear of the Dark, & so on.
"Can I Play Will Madness?"
Favorite IRON MAIDEN albums were the first two.
Yes with Paul D'iano.
I didn't like them at first, but when they grew on me, they instantly became my favorites.
If its one band i suggest you to see live Alex before its too late its Iron Maiden. Seen them 5 times and when the crowd is singing on Fear of the Dark its magical every time.
Yep, yep, yep. :-P
I've seen them 23 times. And #22 & 23 (twice over two nights in Mass and Brooklyn, NY in 2016) were just as magical as #1 (NY in 1998). So yeah, DEFINITELY catch them at least once before they call it a day!
1000% I'm not even a giant maiden fan but I'll happily admit they're one of the best bands I've ever seen and I'd love to see them again
@@Kylora2112 so now you're probably immortal.. (please don't test it though!!)
Especially blood brothers. Live in concert it just brings a moment of closeness with the crowd like i've never felt before in a concert.
Brazil has the best crowds! Cheers from Brazil ;) 🇧🇷
I couldn't agree more !
Gotta be tied with Scotland. Brazils crowds are fuckin wild too
@@TheAdaoo7 both scotland and brazilian audiences fall to the feet of argentinian crowds
Yes!! 💙
Yeah! Great. Except 8.7.2014.....
I have seen Iron Maiden 17 times and i always have goosebumps when "doctor, Doctor" starts. Clansman Live is my request
Doctor doctor pleaseeee
I've only seen them twice but both shows were the best live performances I've seen. I plan to keep seeing them whenever I can from here on out.
No need to flex like that 😂
@@youngsavage3603 OK, 23 TIMES NOW ;)
Bruce is a commercial airline pilot. A few years back the band did a huge tour around the world including to places where they rarely if ever get live bands. Bruce flew a commercial jet from venue to venue with the crew, equipment and obviously the rest of the band. They would land, unload the plane set up and play. They did a documentary on it called FLIGHT 666 and is well worth watching as it has some great insight of the band.
Iron Maiden will be touring America soon. You NEED to go. They have an incredible stage production for this tour. It's jaw dropping.
That was the song I introduced Iron Maiden to my 5 year-old son... and everytime he listens to it he sings along to the guitars...Then I took him to see them live last month in Porto Alegre (Brazil)... by the time we got to the Arena, he was unbelievably struck, so amazed by the crowd and I was so proud of seeing him enjoying it all! He waited so eagerly for this song to be played but ended up sleeping in my husband’s arms two songs before they performed it... once we got home he sadly said “They didn’t play the song, mon!” that was lovely anyways 😍😍😍
Luckly we video recorded him sleeping while they were playing it and he was able to watch it the next day... He loved it!!!
You're my favorite youtuber when it comes to reacting to metal bands!😂😂😂 It's really nice to watch you reacting to those bands I listen to since I was a teenager... specially Iron Maiden and Metallica best bands ever!!!
Awesome!!!
Que lindo seu filho hahaha, eu comecei a gostar de Iron quando era adolescente, foi um sonho realizado pra mim ver eles ao vivo ano passado, a energia do show é incrivel. Se eu tiver babys com certeza vou fazer eles ouvirem Iron
@Peace Sells, But Who's Buying? After the black album is everything so mainstream and shit. Pls never listened to metal again.
I dont now if your mean it sarcastic, if you do im sorry
This live version always gives me goosebumps whenever it's the part when Bruce goes "Yeah!!!!!" I can't count the amount of times I've listened to this...🤘🤘🤘
The second biggest crowd they've ever played to: 250,000 people.
I've seen Maiden twice and they were the best shows I've ever been to. I waited outside for about 5 hours just to get to the front and I did just that. If you ever get the chance to see Maiden live, do it! You'll meet people from all over the world. I met people from South America and Europe the last time I saw them in San Antonio. The experience of being at an Iron Maiden show is unreal!
I was at their "Legacy of the Beast" tour in Zagreb, Croatia and I can asure you, best energy and best felling that you can expect from older Metal bands. Even though you don't know the song you can learn it at the concert bcs Bruce and Maidens just give you soo much energy and it is rly best concert I have ever been to
@@aidanbouw5224 Nice whitch city/country?
Fun Fact: This song was based on Steve Harris' (Maiden's big tough bass player/founder/driving force ... without him there would be no Iron Maiden) actual fear of the dark.
Yeah... He says that in the video....
You will never and I mean never experience something like this at a hip hop concert. Bruce is the greatest showman ever, he hold the audience under his power for the two hours of the show. The band is amazing, great talent. The audience is part of the show.. Seeing Maiden live is incredible, seen them 6 times and I never get tired of it. Saw them just a few weeks ago.
Go see them live, dude! Rock in Rio was my first introduction to this band when i was 14 years old. Literally blew my mind and inspired me to learn guitar and changed my life forever. Watching you react to this took me back to 2001 where it all started for me. Thank you, Alex!
Breathing Theory problem is they only tour in europe rn
@@Exterminatingtraper no that one ended i saw one show but next year there live in the us.🤘
one year, they'll do a Europe/Asia tour, the next it'll be U.S./South America. I live in Boston, and I've seen them live 8 times since 2008, all of them in either New England, or New York.
Iron maiden are going on tour again
G
Fear of the dark it's not among my favorite Maiden songs, but every time I see the live version I'm masmerized and moved because I saw them live 6 months ago and I was singing (or better say shouting, because after that live I was voiceless for days but super happy) that very same song with at least other 40.000 people, it was epic, and it was a dream finally come true.
I think that this is one example of songs born to be played live, because you don't see a crowd react like that everyday.
You should definetly go to see them live because the energy of their show is amazing!
Had the same experience with Metallica's Nothing Else Matters a couple years back in the black album's 20th anniversary tour, in Paris, Stade de France. 50k persons all singing and waving lighters and shit. Religious silence during the rest of the song. Basically a religious experience. Cried happy tears, and I'm not ashamed of it :)
In terms of videos though, my favourite in that style would be Rammstein's Du Hast at Volkerball, he basically doesn't even need to sing lmao
The live version makes me like the song and sing it along everytime. I miss the melody in the music made by these new metal bands.
Alex since you are a fan of DIO, you should go for this All-Star song, the Harlem Globetrotters of Heavy Metal th-cam.com/video/G5H94GHb-10/w-d-xo.html
Giulia Dev I saw the legacy of the beast tour
It was my first maiden show after loving them since I was 12 years old, and it was a magical night and one that will stay with me forever
I've always wondered how the FUCK Fear of the Dark has never, to the best of my knowledge, wound up in a horror film soundtrack. Listen to the FUCKING SONG!
If you haven't seen Iron Maiden live, do yourself a favor and go the next time they're near you. I've seen a lot of legendary metal bands live and Maiden is still the best live show I've seen. They really put on one hell of a performance and the crowd interaction is insane. Also, Bruce's energy on stage is crazy. I was only a casual fan before I saw them and after seeing them twice they've easily become one of my favorite bands.
100 % agree. My sister and I finally got to see them in 2017 for their Book Of Souls tour. Really wish I could have seen their Legacy of the Beast show when it came to my state but circumstances didn't allow me to.
I saw them come to Sydney for the 666 tour only doing 80s and 90s music. Was absolutely legendary. I was in the stands and felt that we were gonna fall due to everyone head banging
Should have seen them in june but you know corona
Hopefully I can pull some strings and see Legacy of the Beast next year. I REALLY hope I have enough money for it. Up the Irons! 🤟🏻
I'm 30yo and I'm from Italy. I was at their concerts in 2003 (Firenze-IT), 2010 (Udine-IT), and now that I live in Germany, in 2017 (Oberhausen-GER). Every time is like the first one... You can't even try to stop to sing, jump, cry. They're first of all amazing persons, and then amazing artists too. And the "trybal" atmosphere that they're able to create during their live shows is simply amazing. Never seen anything like that... And when you're there it feels like all being part of the same big heart pumping blood in the veins and giving life to a fantastic show.
Best band ever... Up the Irons!!!
I was in this concert, Rock in Rio 2001. Amazing. Greetings from Brazil, Alex
Denis Cossia You are a lucky man haha! I saw them this year. It was amazing!
Eai Dennis br
You lucky bastard
I en envy you brother. Maiden - Rock In Rio is one of the best live performances by any band ever!!
Blind Guardian - Valhalla or Bards Song WACKEN. BRING IT \m/
HeavyRulez I really want him to react to the Bards Song !!
ITS ABOUT TIME
Fuck yeah, that one is pure badass
This Iron Maiden Rock in Rio show is one of the best metal shows ever. Bruce Dickinson went nuts the entire show, running like mad, spuring the crowd on, singing his lungs out, it was amazing.
for my fellow iron maiden friends out there iron up!!! my brothers and sisters
Up THE IRONS!!
Up the irons 🤘🏻🤘🏻🏋🏻
That's Rock in Rio 2001 in Brazil, I was there at the crowd. Got goosebumps rewatching it.
I just got goosebumps too
One of the best concert vids- pure energy and perfection! Everytime! They don't call singer Bruce Dickinson the Air Raid Siren for nothing! Great reaction, rock on! Much love and respect!!
Their recent tours with Bruce fully embracing his Old Man voice show just how great he is :)
Why the hell no one said Polyphia? They're a rock band with hip-hop/trap elements
@@lightyagami8377 you just did!
Can't stop watching this guy react to metal, love it.
Fear of The Dark is EASILY my favorite song live just because of the crowd participation 🙌🏼
MY BOY ROCKING THE NIGHTWISH TEE!
Shawn Harvill 😉
@@AlexHefnerDude I'm telling you if you love them you gotta check out Our Truth by Lacuna Coil
If you ever have 2 hours free react to the whole of Rock In Rio. SO GOOD!
Edit - Fun fact, the reason for the football like chanting is because Steve Harris (bassist) had the choice when he was younger of either playing for West Ham United professionally or Iron Maiden. Steve bleeds football almost as much as Maiden and so when he writes melodies they are typically done as football chants :) (also more fun facts Steve is wearing an Iron Maiden FC kit for this show and both the kit and his bass use the West Ham colours)
is this Chris Wilson From Grinding Gear Games?
Nope, Very common name though :)
True, but you never know ;)
Aye, never hurts to ask!
YES
Iron Maiden live is one of life’s best experiences. I remember last time I saw them on the Book of Souls tour I got to the show 4 hours early to be first in line (held in the worse piss of my life for it), had my face painted up like Tribal Mayan Eddie from the Book of Souls cover, and got second row front and center to the stage, right behind the VIP’s that got in early. Show was electric as always, crowd singing and screaming so loud sometimes overpowered the entire band, and at the end Nicko threw his drumstick right at me and I caught it mid-air. It was like a f***ing movie moment bro I swear. People were losing their minds next to me like “YOU ARE SO LUCKY HOLY SH*T” haha overall just best lyrics, energy, riffs, and memories. Guys love them, girls love them, nothing but hype for everyone around. Great reaction video \m/
If you thought that them singing along to the guitar solo was weird you should check out Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth where people in Argentina sing along to the instrumental break in between the lines of the verses
IT'S DOPE
Nah
Alex, that show was on Rock in Rio 2001, and the audience was, give or take, 250.000 people!
That whole concert is totally awesome, Iron maiden is so big in central and South America that people travel from country to country to see them!!
@Octavio Taleno, was I correct in stating this was in 1992 in Rio?
It was January 19th 2001, I remember because, January 15th was the concert in Chile and THAT was the concert tha I didn't attend. After that I swear never missed one again
@@maggierezac5820 no, this was 2002, I believe !!
@Octavio Taleno, I double checked the original video link in the description, {as I should've done first} & this particular concert was in Rio in 2001. I stand corrected & a bit shamed...Peace.
@@maggierezac5820 yes it was in 2001 but released in 2002 🤔
Went to an iron maiden concert when i was 15, shit was crazy. i was so happy to finally see then live after 6 years of listening to their music. It's something each individual in society should have on their to do list before they die, to go and experience Iron Maiden Live!
Live in Brazil the best fãs Iron maiden
Iron Maiden- *NUMBER OF THE BEAST ALBUM!!!!!!*
Why not Powerslave, I personally like it more. Well can't go wrong with either.
Got to be something new, maybe brave new world!!
Abhijeet Singh Dance of death is a super good "newer" album.
I've been in... at least 6 Iron Maiden's concerts, here in my country Argentina. They aren't (too) expensive, and I always know it gonna blow my mind.. It's THE BEST band you could see live!! The energy, the people, the ambient... EVERYTHING it's AWESOME! You should go and see it by yourself! It worth every cent.
Iron Maiden Live is an real experience. Seriously. Even among the Metal bands, they´re truly unique. Visually spectacular, classic Heavy Metal feelin´, and all the energy that comes from stage to crowd and back... And there is Eddie! Only Ed can earn so much fear and love from the fans!
Awesome! I never tire of watching them live - you're right, they're amazing, the crowd knows their part too!
Damn literaly was bored then I saw this. Up the Irons 🤘
Iron maiden was my first and only concert (so far) during the book of souls tour and it was unbelievable. Fear of the dark had the same reaction with everyone chanting and jumping it was great. Another great part of the show is Bruce simply shouting scream for me. Another great video, Keep it up
Ive went to Marilyn Manson w/ Rob Zombie!
I just love how much fun it looks these guys are always having on stage! Absolutely the best band I’ve seen live.
Nicko Mcbrain is one of the greatests drummers to ever walk the earth
Danilo Oliveira ...you didn’t listen too much music outside Iron Maiden I think...Famous? Yes. One of the best? Maybe, but if we extend the list to best thousand drummers...
Proud to have a drum stick signed from him xD
Much as I love Maiden, no he's not. Flo Mournier, Pete Sandoval, Richard Christy, Gene Hoglan, Hellhammer, Bill Ward, even Clive Burr blow him away.
@alyssa sands That's why I said, "one of"
@@ivankolarov9089 Well, considering the fact that you don't know me at all, you thought and you got it wrong.
I could mention a bunch of other drummers here, but we're in a video with Iron Maiden, so I mentioned Nicko, obviously.
Wintersun-Sons of winter and stars
live studio version
When will he finally react to it? I see request for that song for months. :o Common Alex!!
Live Sonic Pump Studios Remastered version. Alex PLEASE dude!
Oh my god. This. Right here. I used to hate screamy growly metal but this song right here changed my mind. Yeah now I have to go listen to it again.
Nightwish T-shirt, you really loved them huh, welcome to this awesome club that is Nightwish fans
Paschendale (Studio version w/ lyricks). i'd love to see your reaction man. can't seem to get any respectable reactors to do this one... Anybody with me?
Fear of the dark lyrics for crowd
oooooooo oooooo
Oooooooo ooooooo
Fear of the dark
Ooooooooooo
The beat Iron Maiden concerts are from Rock in Rio, PERIOD.
I prefer the Flight 666 DVD personally, it has better performances, video and sound quality, and the crowds are louder.
Download deserves a shout out too XD badass show
This is the BRAZILIAN crowd !!! Best in the world in the shows and soccer matches too 💚🎵
the flight 666 in Argentina fotd video was definitely better even with lot less ppl imo, and crowd chanting instrumental parts born in Argentina so... that statement that Brazil has the best crowd in the world is debatable at least. Great crowd yes, but THE best? that idk...
I: singing "fear of the daark..."
He: Cuts the song
WTF NOOO
Watching Iron Maiden in live it's such an AMAZING LIFE MEMORY!!
Is heavy metal a tribute to Iron Maiden?
I think it's the other way around. Iron Maiden is a tribute to metal.
well Iron maiden pretty much helped invent metal... [el'sda2].
lemsdarkapprentice 2 Metal was around long before Maiden,they were pioneers of the NWOBHM movement 👍🏻
@@deathmetaldungeon429 : Heavy metal primarily is British, so (although the title gets bandied around a lot) there isn't really such a thing as "new wave of british heavy metal". NWOBHM would imply either/or: #1 = There was an old wave of British heavy metal (which there wasn't) or #2 = That there was a wave of non-British heavy metal (which there also wasn't). I didn't say they were "the first", I said "pretty much helped invent heavy metal" (which is different). Apart from Sabbath, there wasn't anyone else in metal apart from Maiden and Priest. So yes, pretty much helped invent it. Thank you. [el'sda2].
lol thanks peeps, it was rhetorical, in jest.
Merry Christmas. \m/
You need to see Eddie on stage with Iron Maiden, epic!!
He already did in another Maiden reaction 😉
Fear of the Dark was the first Iron Maiden song I ever heard. I was riding home on the school bus one day in 12th grade, my friend sat next to me, pulled out his MP3 player, handed me one of the earbuds, and played this song. I have been a fan ever since.
I've been to an Iron Maiden concert in Montreal Qc Canada my home town, and I see how amazed you were witnessing the crowd they draw with the energy along with it. Being there is a whole different story...it is absolutely electric!!! The most awesome concert I've been to and can't wait til they come back. They've actually played here many times after releasing their albums. Phenomenal group!!! 👍👍👍
No leaf clover by Metallica is a song they played only in a concert they did with the San Francisco Symphony on 2000 something. They recently played it again live but you should totally check out the first time they played, at the S&M concert (symphony and metallica)
Eduardo Martínez just the concert as a whole is amazeballs
@@haywood12 I think its the album I've heard the most times of them all xD
He should just watch the whole concert it is in the top 10 greatest rock/metal concerts of all time
no more fucking metallica, why must we put him through a gauntlet of 80's metal when we have modern bands like Periphery, Animals as Leaders and Born of Osiris?
UP THE IRONS!
For sure
First Maiden concert I was 10 it was in the 80's and my mom (This straight laced accountant took me) it was like 20000 metal fans, my mom and me. Best night ever. Those are the memories I hold dear of her.
This video is great man, I was really enjoying your reaction ! I felt the exact same way when I first heard this track from Rio in 2001 when I was about 11 years old, that passion they deliver throughout the audience, I can honestly tell it's really special. I've never seen such loyal and passionate fans, and Maiden give everything for their fans. I've seen them 20 odd times over the years around Europe and each time they get better and better and this band unites all fans together no matter what religion, color, gender, no matter if rich or poor. They really care about their fans. Hopefully live shows will return and bring joy to all the people around the world again ! Keep it up @Alex Hefner, I'll subscribe to your channel 🤘🎸
Alright, here's my story. I've seen Maiden twice, and my first time was my first real concert ever. Maiden was playing with Heaven & Hell (Sabbath with Dio). Less than a month before the show, Ronnie went into the hospital and they cancelled the rest of the shows. Saw Dream Theatre instead. That was great, but... it was no Dio.
However, if you go to a Maiden show, get there early and fight to the front if you have to. It's worth it. I was at the very front of the crowd when the show started. They have this song called "The Wicker Man" that you should react to. They opened with that, the first lines being "Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you." Well, Bruce comes running out on stage and leaps over the speakers like he does, and when he sang that line, he dead ass looked right in my eyes and pointed at me. I came and I don't remember much of the show after that.
Blind guardian - Bard song Wacken 2016 was nuts
I saw them live in Dallas. The greatest concert ever. Even in their 60's, they still fucking rock! They opened the show with "Aces High". Kind of a tradition. They had a full-size replica of a WWII British Spit-fire over the crowd and stage. It was amazing
My first concert was Iron Maiden. I was 13 and was on the floor (general admission - no seats) and was about 5 rows from the stage. The concert began, the crowd surged forward, and I nearly passed out from the heat. I was pulled back by my brother's girlfriend to get some air and recovered. Then I rocked out the rest of the show. Since then, I've seen them live about 30 times...and counting! And that's a mother-fucking fact yall!!
Dude, you should just watch Rock In Rio 2001 in it's entirety. You wouldn't be disappointed.
Bruce's laugh makes me shiver E V E R Y time I hear this song. Absolutely incredible
I've listened to this song like a million times, and I still get the goosebumps.
Hey brother man I'm glad you enjoyed Iron Maiden the way you do I have been to 14 Iron Maiden concerts they are the best live and they still tour not as much as they did before but if you get a chance to catch a show it will blow your mind thank you brother man
Loving your Nightwish shirt, seems like you got trapped ;)
What's not to love about Nightwish!
Amber Smith the Pop Sound 😂
Been a Maiden fan since 1985 and never missed a concert within a 500 mile radius. Great reaction. I love watching new fans being born everyday. Thank you
Iron Maiden kicked off the British wave of heavy metal in the late 70's and early 80's!!!
You can't go wrong with Maiden. Every album up to and including Seventh Son was awesome. The Powerslave and Piece of Mind albums are the best in my opinion.
When 7th Son came out, I hated it. Now, it's one of my favorite Maiden albums.
if you want more iron maiden's great songs , you have to try "the clansman" (from the same live - rock in rio) trust me you won't be disappointed !! (from a french guy)
That's a great call. I'll second it. The Clansman.
I saw a documentary on Maiden and all the band members are so down to earth and gel so well together. When they do tours they all get a chance to shine on stage and they work as a team. Love your channel Alex x
I'd suggest that you listen to Blind Guardians "Bards Song". The crowds are absolutely amazing with it
He did Bard's Song and Valhalla
Never tired of iron maiden!!! Up the irons!!!!
Saw Maiden in 2011 during their Final Frontier tour. It was unlike anything I have ever been to. Very intense show and a lot of fun too. 8 foot tall space Eddie playing guitar was a great highlight of the night!
And yes I’ve been to a show in Mexico City and the energy is electrifying. Love Maiden !!!!!!!
i was on that concert, 18 years ago, and watching it again still gives me the chills, that rock in rio was unreal!
At an Iron Maiden show in Vegas 5 years ago (Megadeth opening band), great show from both bands. Bruce stopped in mid song (band still played) to have security throw a guy out because a lady was at the front of the general admission audience and this bigger guy pushed her out of the way so he could be in front. He was doing it all on microphone, it was great. Band kept playing, and Bruce went right back into the song.

Blind Guardian - The Bard's song and Valhalla live at Wacken 2016
I realize how old this video is but if you happen to read this Alex I just wanna say. Iron Maiden is probably the best concert I've ever been too. Seen them twice now and I had an absolute blast both times. And if you get the chance to go see them live. Do it.
Maximal respect to the other dudes in the Band. They keep up the speed and spirit. Perfect drumming and Bass. Love that vibe 😊
Remember what you promised for 200k.. :D
Itll probably be out tomorrow once hes at 200k
Befor the story begins is it such a sinn for me to take what's mine till the end of tiiiiime...
react to Iron Maiden - Rime of Ancient Mariner (flight 666)
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is one hell of a song - and incredibly freaking long. I wonder if he'd actually do such a long video...
That would be great
Bruce is the best ever in getting the crowd involvement
I had this one back then on cassette. Killer album! This song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps,hearing the crowd... Pure awesomeness!💙
This video was recorded at Rock in Rio 2001 and I was there that day... Ps: public of 250 thousand people
@Marcio Barros, I thought it was from 1992? I may very well be wrong...probably am...peace!
@@maggierezac5820 There was a Rock in Rio in 1991 and it was in Maracanã stadium but Iron Maiden was not in that year
