NO WAY! I've been waiting on this one and nearly gave up! Thank YOU and KURT! I really hoped you enjoyed the performance and stage show as much as you did the vocal performance. This makes me do my happy dance of death. Watching someone hear and see something for the first time that has given so many people joy is amazing. I'll never hear Dance of Death for the 1ist time again, but seeing someone else do so is more gratifying than the song itself. Did it invoke the same feeling when we first heard it, did we get excited, how did we feel after? Seeing someone go through that range is a gift we take for granted.
I've requested this & Wasted Years in chat and comments ever since discovering TCV... can't tell you how excited I am to see Liz's reaction and thoughts on it! Dance of Death is one of Maiden's best recent works IMO.
You really have to get Bruce for a teatime interview. I think the discussions between you two, particularly about the balance between story telling and music (given your background) would be awesome!
About the crowd involvement that you mentioned, a friend of mine once said: Iron Maiden is the only band where the crowd sing not only the chorus, not only the riff, but even the guitar solos
The Green Day crowd at Hyde Park in London did every bit of the song from start to finish when Bohemian Rhapsody played over the sound system there. Worth a look for crowd involvement too. Bands like Maiden and Queen just bring out the magic in people.
@@Scottred77 I know what you are talking about in terms of the Green Day crowds singing along to Bohemian. I saw that video...it was very moving. What I am specifically mentioning is that US crowds do not "Sing along" to the instrumental portions of Maiden songs like they do in Europe and South America. For example, the first time I heard this Sing Along phenomenon was a live version of Fear of the Dark off of one of those Live Albums they put out in the mid 90s. I can't remember if it is on a Real Live One or a Real Dead One. That version was I believe recorded in South America and the crowd participation was phenomenal! Goosebump City! I picked up a different live album around the same time (maybe a bootleg??) that was recorded in the US with absolutely NO Crowd Participation on any of the songs including Fear of the Dark. I have heard this Crowd Participation several times since then for several songs (but especially Fear of the Dark) and they were all non-US based shows. I have also only had the pleasure of seeing Maiden in concert twice (Chicago and Indianapolis) with no crowd participation.
The main reason I love maiden is because it always feels like a modern folk minstrel telling a tale or story of some far away land or legend, I always imagined Bruce as a modern day troubadour
Omg this something I intuited for a long time yet never had the words for it. This is it, you verbalized my thoughts. That's why their songs are so epic and timeless.
It's a great album but you can really feel that lack of Derek Rigs on that awful album cover. (Derek is the painter who invented the Eddie character and made all those earlier iconic Maiden album covers.)
Guys, we did it. She is becoming a METALHEAD 🤘 Genuinely love how she breaks down everything. It's always a blessing to hear and see from a non-metal fan perspective. Been a fan since her Nightwish reaction. Edit : checked her Maiden playlist, it says "Up the irons". \m/ let's goo
Well. Since she reacted the first metal song. I knew she loved metal. I considered she was both. A classical musician and a metal fan, pretending that never heard it.
To answer your question about Jannick's stance whilst playing his solo: it's definitely harder as he has to balance the guitar as well as having enough stability to hammer down and pull of the strings. In his case though, it has turned into sort of a trademark-stance for him, and having such a long career I'd guess for him it is quite easy.
@@chrisjarkovsky1655 As a guitarist myself I find it easier with the neck raised up and you can still look the side of the fretboard. I find hard to play sitting down.
Janick Gers is an insane guitarsit and can play the guitar in the weirdest positions. He loves the upright position and moves in a very yngwie malmsteen style. He's a maniac in general
@@chuckm6592 Why Steve or Bruce never getting such criticism for moving around with various facial expressions? I really like how the members of Maiden enhance/cancel each-other out depending on POV. There are the more chill members like Dave and complete maniacs like Gers :)
Some people sing. Bruce doesn't sing, he plays his voice like an instrument, an instrument he has mastered completely. An instrument he uses to tell wonderful, flavorful, rich stories. There are very few people who have the amount of presence, charisma, vocal control and range that Bruce has.
According to bardic tradidion each element is represented by an instrument Earth by the drum Air by the flute Water by the harp Fire is represented by the voice.
He’s been singing like that since I was a kid. I’m over 50 now. Crazy!! I loved them when I was young, I loved the sound, the intensity, his voice and Eddie! My parents didn’t like that I listened to them and I could never have a T shirt. Haha
I agree brother I've seen them so many times..only band that sounds better live than the record the number of the beast changed my life...cheers from Kansas city
I can't wait to see your lovely reaction! One of the great performances of Bruce, but if you want to listen to something that truly pushes him to his limits, give "The Talisman" a chance. He doesn't move from his spot, with his eyes closed, which is extremely rare. One of the hardest songs of IM to sing and he nails it! Also: -Empire of the Clouds: Bruce's 18 min-long masterpiece. He recorded this song with a tumor on his tongue. He also learned to play piano for this one. It's a complex song about the R101. Alas, they never play it live because they need an orchestra for it. There is even a section of Morse code for S.O.S, one of the most interesting songs you can listen to. I won't even mention Bruce's epic delivery, gives shivers down my spine every time I listen to it. -Paschendale: Great live performance with lights. Successful pairings of intensity of lyrics and musical power by IM. -Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: It's a concept album actually but the title track is a must listen if you don't have the time for all of the songs. The epitome of Maiden's musicianship. It's basically a rock opera. Incredible vocals. Keep up the great work and up the irons!🤘
There will never be a band like Maiden, performance wise, the energy, the passion, just best band ever no one has this crowd everywhere they go just amazing ❤️
He gets a lot of his performance inspiration from theater. He said in an interview once that watching and studying plays and theater he learned that it's easy for the first few rows to see you, but most people in the back only see you standing around unless your movements are huge and exaggerated. Always perform for the people in the back
Your words and “colorful” description of Bruce is SO true. They will be on tour in US in 2022 and I’m looking forward to experience this in person. Thank you for your love of Bruce and of course Ronnie James Dio 🖤
If you loved the voice of bruce, you must to listen his song "The Tears of the Dragon - Bruce ". He uses all his tenor voice and skills. Really good Thank you for your react videos.
If you decide to do "The Talisman," just know that it is the perfect example of "Park it and Bark it." However, it is also a great example of how to create a set list that let's you conserve energy and your voice for the entire hour and a half or longer show. For "En Vivo," "The Talisman" is the 5th song. It is a difficult song in that it is at the top of Bruce's range for much of the song. Next, Bruce addresses the crowd, resting his voice by talking. Be careful though, he drops a F-bomb in the middle of his introduction to the next song, "Coming Home," which is a ballad of sorts. THIS would be an amazing song for you to breakdown, not only because Bruce sings it almost entirely in his mid-range, but also because he spends a majority of the song standing, balanced on the edge of his stage monitors! After this, comes "Dance of Death." So, in these three songs, we see Bruce "Park it and Bark it," conserving bodily energy, a spoken section/ballad to rest his voice as well as "Parking it" on the edge of his monitor in a horse stance, I might add. Followed by the crazy antics/singing in "Dance of Death." This setup shows the band's intelligence when it comes to conservation of energy an Bruce's 60 year old voice. No wonder they've been around for so long! Up the Irons!
The first shows of that tour had The Talisman as the 11th song. Right after The Evil That Men Do, imagine singing that back to back. Took them just 4 shows to move The Talisman to the 5th position.
Iron Maiden concerts in Chile are out of this world, it's an amazing experience to be there, you feel like you're not only watching Iron Maiden, but a part of the show as well 🤘🏽
Chile 🔥🇨🇱 One of the best audience in the world and not only for maiden...from wu tang clan...many pop singers to ac/dc and maiden have said it. 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for chosing this live video.
The concert in Chile was transformed into an album, called "Iron Maiden in Chile" and a DVD of it was made. All songs of that album are a musical and vocal jewel. Another thing is to talk about that audience. Those people are on fire!
Yes and remember Motsegur and the great The new Frontier. There are all shades of Iron Maiden, fresh Up-tempo numbers and epic Rock songs. But when it came out, I've read so much bad critics I can't understand. And as you see, these songs want to be played live! 😁
I would love to see you reacting to The Talisman from that same concert and live album. There are too many things and details to breakdown and Bruce delivers one of the best vocal performances of his career.
People used to say “Iron Maiden” is a religion in South America. I’m not sure about other countries, but in Brazil(my country), yes, yes it is. For us, it doesn’t matter if they come out with a bad concert, a bad album or anything like that. We don’t care, we will love them forever and sold out every single concert. Up the Irons! Õ/
IRON MAIDEN are a live band that has to be seen to believe....and BRUCE is on a complete different level of a singer/front man and the most amazing showmen in all of Metal today 🤘🏼 UP THE IRONS 🤘🏼
I saw them live once ... it's amazing how much they move, but specially, how much they all smile and grin at everyone during the whole show. They just contaminate thecwhole room with joy, just by watching them.
On your comment about the crowd singing together, I saw maiden a few years ago on Bruce's birthday, and the crowd joined together to sing him happy birthday and in true British crowd style/mob mentality, you could barely hear him over the crowd, absolutely unreal experience to see in real life, one of my favourite ever concert experiences
“…beautiful merging of audience and band energy that feels like it’s almost explosive in nature” That may be the best description of a Maiden concert vibe that I’ve ever heard.
Hi Elizabeth, I'm glad you're reacting to another Iron Maiden song/video, and I loved this performance. Bruce's vocals were amazing, and I was really impressed by the (3) guitar solos. I especially enjoyed Janick Gers, who had an energetic stage presence (doing the, "Jig," while playing guitar). Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
I know we’re all here to talk about Bruce, and even the guitar playing to a smaller extent; but can we give some Credit to Steve Harris (the bass player)? The guy is the absolute engine of that band and through the guitars and soaring vocals his power, passion, and prowess shine through. Thank you for all that you have given us Steve, we legitimately do not get Iron Maiden without you, and thank you The Charismatic Voice for giving us metal idiots a fresh take on the music we love ❤️
The only constant for the entirety of this band's existence. He is the driving force and main writer. Also his galloping bass is what gives Maiden the unique sound. UP THE IRONS!
steve is the heartbeat of the band, his bass lines are legendary, yet nothing fancy, and his passion and will to give it back to the people has no equal !
Iron Maiden is an OPERA... they are STILL using drawing decors and changing them during their performances. Heavy Metal Opera. Bruce is the BEST PERFORMER IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! His charisma and capability of telling stories so easilly, make him a special individual. I will probably CRY all the tears I have the day he will die. I have been so blessed to see him 4 times, as my first show was Fear of the Dark in Montréal Canada 🍁 in 1992. What you are describing is exactly what it is : how much energy does he have RUNNING the way he does on a stage and being SOOOOOO GOOOOD!! UP THE IRON!!! 🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
I am a long time follower of this channel, but even longer Iron Maiden fan too. Couple of special things going on in this song`s performance: Bruce is in great shape for this one. Not very often you see Dave Murray Playing a Gibson Les Paul. You can see how Janick is enjoying so much the band´s performance in this one, as he wrote it. This is the best Janick Gers best solo ever in my opinion, 22:00 . All three absolutely killed their solo... but Janick was completely in the zone, played a very difficult legato section.... with eyes closed. We are all fans and we always remember how much merit all the members of the band have. I will use my turn to praise Janick Gers: An accomplished songwriter which brings so beautiful stylish songs to the band, a uniquely styled guitar player with elegant notes choice and melodic sense, with incredible presence and movement on stage. Also all around kind, generous guy (he helped Blaze Bayly with songwirting when he most needed it to fill such big shoes as he had). Love all the guys but I shout out to Janick today. Cheers all!
I've always been amazed by Nicko's footwork.. one of the greatest drummers alive at that age and in top condition 🙏 i wish a long life for Mr. McBrain 💪🇬🇧
It's amazing that a band can be so successful, writing folk songs, and putting them to music...beautiful, heavy, melodic music.. We are so lucky to be able to live in a time when Iron Maiden exists...
I just love watching her facial expressions , her excitement , wonder and her appreciation for the God given talent of the artist no matter the genre. Can't get enough of her ....Thank you !
Miss Elizabeth, you just nailed exactly everything that describes Iron Maiden best. Everything Bruce sings is a historical lesson an adventure! He is the ultimate frontman and storyteller! And secondly, the fans are rabid and dedicated Beyond any other fanbase on the planet. This is Iron Maiden in a nutshell
When you talked about him "defying all rules" when it comes to singing and movement --- I have literally seen a clip of him falling off one of the monitors mid-verse, landing UPSIDE DOWN, and somehows his vocals were 100% uninterrupted. Like, if you heard it as audio, you've have no idea that the guy had tripped, let alone falled on his neck. It's like his lungs are the Planet Express ship from Futurama.
I think Iron Maiden is not playing for an audiance, but with the audiance. I see it everytime when the band give them a place or a guided solo in the song. 🙂
Yes yes yes!!!! I love this song!! One night wandering in the Everglades. I’d one drink but no more. I love Bruce Dickinson!! His vocals are sooo enchanting !!
Yes it works, great choice! First Tools and now Iron Maiden! Elizabeth stays on track! I bend my knee and praise you, Milady Elizabeth! I am unworthy, I am unworthy ... 🙏🙏🙏
They’re touring the US in 2022 on the Legacy Of The Beast tour. You must go see them in person. I’ve seen them 12 or 13 times. Always an incredible show!
Iron Maiden have steadfastly produced gold throughout all of their eras. Bruce is simply magnificent and perhaps my favorite of all time. Just massive.
The commentary on audience participation and comradery is such a colossal understatement. I saw Iron Maiden live on the Book of Souls world tour (the first time they've ever come to my country) and the way they inspire and engage with the crowd cannot be fully felt until you experience it live. We were about 60 thousand, ranging in ages from 16 - 80 from all walks of life, united in our love for Iron Maiden. There was this unspoken solidarity in the crowd, with a bunch of big, Burly biker dudes to my Left, and Susie the retired accountant and her Husband that only listens to Jazz on my right, a bunch of high school kids... all of us, random strangers, linked up like a sports team singing their national anthem, belting out the lyrics to Blood Brothers at the top of our lungs. The camera could never do that magic justice. Brotherhood.🤘🏻
22:40 for me personally, that position while playing guitar is incredibly difficult. Mostly because you have to stabilize your guitar with the same hand that is playing the notes, it severely limits your hands movement speed and to an extent your accuracy. Luckily the speed of your fingers doesn't really get changed by that position.
Yea, that stance is definitely all about showing off, which is something Gers does a lot. Not the biggest fan of his playing or solos, but he sure is a great showman.
As a fellow guitar player, I agree to this stance, i have very mutch problem when it comes to solos to play at this stance, just bcus i need to hold the guitar at the same time i need to move around with my fingers, he is a special man janick, but practise i quess xD love him, love the way he show of, and hes style, casting around that guitar, oddly stances and so much more.
Elizabeth, I love your Iron Maiden reviews. You give the best reactions, the way you get excited and your laughter.. A pleasure to watch... And a perfect voice to do it too...
I saw them live during the Dance of Death Tour at the Universal amphitheater,I can recall getting the chills and goosebumps when they got to Dance Of Death. Maiden really has the best live shows of any artist Ive seen.
When the Bruce Dickinson itch starts surfacing again, perhaps consider listening to the live version of Tears of the Dragon with Tribuzy. It's a song be wrote as part of his solo career and that version might well be his best vocal performance he's ever done as it's so emotional and powerful, and sounds great! 🙂
That reaction to Dickinson jumping was a serious highlight, haha, so good. I'd love to see Elizabeth interview Bruce and see her ask him about the stance, the jumps and everything. Just lovely reaction. As for requests, I've recommended these before and here they go again: Helloween's Skyfall, Rhapsody of Fire's Lamento Eroico, Cradle of Filth's Her Ghost in the Fog and Amon Amarth's Fate of Norns.
She might explode hearing Dani Filth's screeches. I am a 6 octave Dramatic Tenor and I still can't figure out how to do that! Hhhaha, I think you need to be a midget. I am 6'4 300lbs, with Bruce's voice essentially with Halford range, might be too big 😅
Space invaders sweater?! Seriously? Whole new level of appreciation. Friend of mine pointed me to this channel. I really enjoy the excited squirrel watching Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden, which many of us have been used to for decades and she's watching all of this now for the first time. Happy that you're having fun.
Maiden siempre elige entre sus destinos a chile. tiene ese amor por nuestro publico que cada vez que viene se supera y esa es la energia que le transmite la gente y los hace dar todo de si mismos. bruce lo dijo, chile es nuestro mejor publico
The Talisman - En Vivo is a POWERHOUSE of a track, and when bruce wings it live, it takes it to a whole new level. Absolutely Haunting, exhilarating and awe-inspiring. You'd love it, this video was fantastic too thank you !
Thank you for an amazing analysis. The drama and story telling ability of Bruce has no parallel especially when you combine it with his sheer vocal power..
Hello. My name is Paul and I am a major metal fan from Ireland. Came across your channel a while ago. I love the idea of this reaction to what is under appreciated music. It’s so complex and it’s good to see someone who understands what it takes to do this. I have a list of songs that I think are worthy of your opinion. I would love to share it with you as I do believe they will blow your mind. Keep up the good work and don’t ever change how you do it. Everyone needs a little metal in there life and this brings it to a wider audience. Thanks Paul the recovery driver and head banger lol
My favorite version of this song is actually from Death on the Road where I think Bruce’s performance is a little better but this one is pretty awesome. Another to note about the energy of the band on stage is every one of these guys were at least pushing 60 in En Vivo! Edit: Janick’s hand position might actually put a little less stress on his wrist but fun fact: Janick Gers is left handed and plays a right handed guitar.
Iron Maiden's "Seventh Son of the Seventh Son" with its perfect pre-chorus and Bruce's perplexing vocal delivery, as well as containing one of the most powerful riffs ever written (during the time change after the intro). The verses feature this constant technique where Bruce will belt out a long “Oh-Oh-Oh” followed by the guitars playing the same melody next. This vocal-instrumental call-response is such a cool technique and is honestly one of my favorite parts of the song. Bruce starts reading a spoken word passage super eerily, and afterward, the guitars begin to cut back in. If you listen on headphones, each guitar is placed in opposite ears, again creating a killer call and response dynamic. The canned choir also joins in, and the mood is really heavy and ominous. I would love to watch your facial expressions as you critique this song. A must!
Your reaction to our music is so entertaining. Never been to a opera. But have seen Iron Maiden every tour since they opened up for Judas Priest in 81in Dallas and Atlanta.
Such a great performance! The Talisman, from the same show is a must see. Its a harder song to sing so you can really see how he grounds himself onto the stage!
I think you'd really enjoy seeing and reacting to Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart doing a live cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" in their 2012 performance at the Kennedy Center. Ann and Nancy had the honor and pressure of performing the tribute to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin who were being honored and were in the audience while Jason Bohnam played drums for the performance. Ann Wilson does an amazing job doing the Led Zeppelin hit, both staying true to Zeppelin's intent while adding just a touch of some unique flair to add a little bit of her own touch. I really believe you would love it and I know I would love watching your reaction to Ann and Nancy Wilsons' performance. Of note, they also performed in front of the sitting U.S. President who was also in the audience for the tribute. No pressure! Please consider giving this one a shot!
Im late to the party but yeah....the look of amazement on your face is exactly what drew me to the band at 12...my Dad plays bass and he turned me onto Maiden when I was young. Suffice it to say I've NEVER looked back. You should see them live. Theyre almost 70 now and the energy has come down a bit but they still ROCK and nothing I've ever seen comes close to the way they treat their fans. It'll be a cold cold day in hell when they call it quits. But hey...they deserve it for everything they've given to fans like me and the rest. UP THE IRONS!!! MAIDEN FOR LIFE!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Elizabeth. See you enjoy this song and this musical is unpayble!!! This is one of my favorites songs of Iron Maiden. You are so beautiful!
Jannick’s solo is harder to play when it’s raised that high. But since he’s been playing guitar like that as a showman, it’s become second nature to him.
Elizabeth, if you enjoyed Dance of Death , please do next live version of "No More Lies" song. It is one of the most under rated maiden's songs with amazing story telling, instruments and vibe. You will not be disappointed. Perfectly, If you'd be able to find live version back from 2003 (th-cam.com/video/RzNyKXFvJNQ/w-d-xo.html) , but I guess any version will do. In terms of your question to playing solo by Mr Janick Gers and his position during performing it. Well, for human beings it would be very difficult, but Mr Gers can do it in any possible yoga possitions on the planet with the smile on his face. Cheers ! :)
I think Montsequer and Paschendale, Age of Innocence are way better picks, New Frontier and No More Lies are my least favorite, and speaking as someone who sings these songs and is also a 6 Octave Dramatic Tenor as is Bruce, well, I think he's a 5 and a half, Halford is, or was, 6, Dio too.
@@KelticKabukiGirl Thanks God we all have different taste :) world would be very boring otherwise. I just love No more lies vibe, music and the things Bruce does on thhe stage, especially in this 2003 concert ;)
Absolutely spot on with your commentary. It feels like watching me in my early teens first discovering the band. I love how you're feeling the passion of Maiden, and how Bruce can articulate and convey a story through his words. Definitely made my day to see your awe and amusement, thank you very much. It's powerful to hear and watch someone who can dissect and feel the music in their entire being! Much love to you. Almost as much of a privilege as seeing the band live, which I was lucky to have done.
I didn't see anyone commenting about the guitar playing position you asked about. In fact, there is not more or less difficulty on playing with the guitar neck pointing up. Sometimes it can in fact make it easier to drive the hand up or down the neck. However, at their level of music skills, most of those movements are mainly to make it cool to watch. They play very difficult arpeggios with high precision, multiple transitions, and tapping elements. At such a level of action, it does not really matter the angle of the guitar... Besides, they are not only moving the guitar neck, but they are running, jumping, dancing, playing with their band mates, and (in some cases) spinning the guitars or even throwing them to the air to just pick them up and continue playing... Search for it online. It is awesome! In terms or band, Iron Maiden musicians are, each one of them, a show apart inside the show!!!!
NO WAY! I've been waiting on this one and nearly gave up! Thank YOU and KURT! I really hoped you enjoyed the performance and stage show as much as you did the vocal performance. This makes me do my happy dance of death. Watching someone hear and see something for the first time that has given so many people joy is amazing. I'll never hear Dance of Death for the 1ist time again, but seeing someone else do so is more gratifying than the song itself. Did it invoke the same feeling when we first heard it, did we get excited, how did we feel after? Seeing someone go through that range is a gift we take for granted.
Just wait until the trailer gets uploaded. You are literally the reason I did this video. ;-)
I saw your last reply. Yes, 5,000 people voted and it's important to recognize everyone! But thank you!
I've requested this & Wasted Years in chat and comments ever since discovering TCV... can't tell you how excited I am to see Liz's reaction and thoughts on it! Dance of Death is one of Maiden's best recent works IMO.
@@TheCharismaticVoice You MUST react to "The Talisman" from the same concert
Thanks you man, for helping this hapen with your comment haha 😁
You really have to get Bruce for a teatime interview. I think the discussions between you two, particularly about the balance between story telling and music (given your background) would be awesome!
YES!!!! I would LOVE for you to interview Bruce!!!!
I agree. He is a great interview and Elizabeth and Bruce would be awesome
I couldn't agree more!!
For what I know, Bruce don't use social network, it could be difficult to contact him.
Agree, Bruce would be a great guest for her
Dickinson is great here but he is outstanding on the talisman from the same concert! React to this! Perfect for vocal coach!
One of the least recommended songs but his greatest performance, I would say. She should definitely hear this one!
Talisman from this show, dance of death from death on the road
The talisman would be PERFECT for her to listen too, a MONSTROUS performance
Indeed, he explores his full range and endurance in The Talisman. Frankly I was pleasantly surprised that they even played it live.
Yeah that was INHUMAN! But everything Bruce does is INHUMAN i am not expect less from a GOD!!!!!!! Suggested to her i think 3 times already!!!

Took the torch from Ian Anderson.
Perfectly put
Omg this something I intuited for a long time yet never had the words for it.
This is it, you verbalized my thoughts. That's why their songs are so epic and timeless.
The most underrated Mainden Album. So many masterpieces. Dance of Death, Paschendale, Journeyman, No More Lies, Face in the Sand...
It is a great album. I feel like Final Frontier is pretty underrated too. So many great songs.
Montsegur is also a banger ! It amazed me they would sing about a not so well known historical event of French History.
Terrible artwork, but a brilliant album.
It's a great album but you can really feel that lack of Derek Rigs on that awful album cover. (Derek is the painter who invented the Eddie character and made all those earlier iconic Maiden album covers.)
One of their "classic" unforgetable albums. Yup.
Guys, we did it. She is becoming a METALHEAD 🤘
Genuinely love how she breaks down everything. It's always a blessing to hear and see from a non-metal fan perspective.
Been a fan since her Nightwish reaction.
Edit : checked her Maiden playlist, it says "Up the irons". \m/ let's goo
AMEN!
It’s her husband not you
Well. Since she reacted the first metal song. I knew she loved metal. I considered she was both. A classical musician and a metal fan, pretending that never heard it.
More Maiden is always the answer to everything. Just collected all my tickets for Legacy 22. 8 shows on my schedule with more to add. Up the Irons! 🤘
I missed the presale but ill be getting my tickets! Saw them during both legs of the book of souls tour and during the legacy of the beast tour 🤘🏻
Will be in Sioux Falls on Oct 5th!!
Hoping to see them at Download here in the UK next year, but hoping to get tickets for Legacy of the beast tour \m/

In his case though, it has turned into sort of a trademark-stance for him, and having such a long career I'd guess for him it is quite easy.
Janick, like Slash and others, they position the guitar on one leg to support the weight and have the left hand run freely up and down the neck.
As a guitarist myself I think playing that way is hard but if u can play without looking it makes it easier
@@chrisjarkovsky1655 As a guitarist myself I find it easier with the neck raised up and you can still look the side of the fretboard. I find hard to play sitting down.
@@george.kollaros I agree with you I prefer to stand and play
Jannick does the rule of cool and does it dam well
Janick Gers is an insane guitarsit and can play the guitar in the weirdest positions. He loves the upright position and moves in a very yngwie malmsteen style. He's a maniac in general
I love janick , he's mental on stage. They were on fire at the O2 last Saturday
Janick Is magick, he's my favorite guitar player , in stage he , Bruce and Steve are the maiden's soul
I think Janick gets a bad rap, he's a very good guitarist but gets criticized because of his movements on stage.
Janick is my favourite guitarist of all time!!! Is insane master of guitar!!!
@@chuckm6592 Why Steve or Bruce never getting such criticism for moving around with various facial expressions? I really like how the members of Maiden enhance/cancel each-other out depending on POV. There are the more chill members like Dave and complete maniacs like Gers :)
“The Talisman” is a must listen. Possibly Bruce’s best vocal performance.
Just about to post that when I saw your comment. Also version from En Vivo of The Talisman, just brilliant
Seconded
That is the one song Bruce parks n barks on. Easily one of their best songs.
They really struck gold with janick gets who wrote that one and dance of death (among others)
@@smith9670 That's the only tour where The Talisman was performed anyway.
Met Iron Maiden in 1994 - they were attending a wedding. They are lovely people, very humble and respectful to their fans.
Do you like Nicco
Were they dancing?
@@onearthonelegion no, they were sitting with their girlfriends drinking Guinness
@@InfamousB9 he was really sweet
@@IrishRose You legend
Some people sing. Bruce doesn't sing, he plays his voice like an instrument, an instrument he has mastered completely. An instrument he uses to tell wonderful, flavorful, rich stories. There are very few people who have the amount of presence, charisma, vocal control and range that Bruce has.
You could write that on stage he IS an instrument
That's the description of singing. Using your voice as an instrument.
Also, at this point Bruce's range is pretty much nothing.
According to bardic tradidion each element is represented by an instrument Earth by the drum
Air by the flute
Water by the harp
Fire is represented by the voice.
mmm, i dunno....his range is pretty small now, and he just shouts now. tyranny of souls was his best vocals on tape.
Bruce and Dio are/were masters
He’s been singing like that since I was a kid. I’m over 50 now. Crazy!! I loved them when I was young, I loved the sound, the intensity, his voice and Eddie! My parents didn’t like that I listened to them and I could never have a T shirt. Haha
I‘m 65 now and the older I get , the more I love this Music 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The greatest band in the world. Nobody else comes close
I agree brother I've seen them so many times..only band that sounds better live than the record the number of the beast changed my life...cheers from Kansas city
I can't wait to see your lovely reaction! One of the great performances of Bruce, but if you want to listen to something that truly pushes him to his limits, give "The Talisman" a chance. He doesn't move from his spot, with his eyes closed, which is extremely rare. One of the hardest songs of IM to sing and he nails it! Also:
-Empire of the Clouds: Bruce's 18 min-long masterpiece. He recorded this song with a tumor on his tongue. He also learned to play piano for this one. It's a complex song about the R101. Alas, they never play it live because they need an orchestra for it. There is even a section of Morse code for S.O.S, one of the most interesting songs you can listen to. I won't even mention Bruce's epic delivery, gives shivers down my spine every time I listen to it.
-Paschendale: Great live performance with lights. Successful pairings of intensity of lyrics and musical power by IM.
-Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: It's a concept album actually but the title track is a must listen if you don't have the time for all of the songs. The epitome of Maiden's musicianship. It's basically a rock opera. Incredible vocals.
Keep up the great work and up the irons!🤘
What a brutaly corect stuff🤘🤘🤘
All Correct and to underline "Bruce's 18 min long masterpiece" ...
@@engingokgoz9685 Buralarda Türk görmek sevindirdi :)
Iron Maiden the Talisman from the same concert as this. Blows me away every time.
You'll absolutely love "The Talisman" also from En Vivo, one of Bruce's (if not the) best performances EVER!
Oh, yeah!!!!
Yes!!! Im surprised she didnt do this one yet. A must!
@@jasminm984 would be amazing, the talisman en vivo and Remember Tomorrow (Live At Ullevi, Sweden)
Agreed
Straight to the point! Been waiting for this song for a while
There will never be a band like Maiden, performance wise, the energy, the passion, just best band ever no one has this crowd everywhere they go just amazing ❤️
That was recorded in South America .
How cool is it that the crowd knows every word! Anywhere they play. The audience participates. It amazing!
He gets a lot of his performance inspiration from theater. He said in an interview once that watching and studying plays and theater he learned that it's easy for the first few rows to see you, but most people in the back only see you standing around unless your movements are huge and exaggerated. Always perform for the people in the back
En Vivo - Talisman probably Bruce's best live vocal performance of all times
yesssss
I agree
Your words and “colorful” description of Bruce is SO true. They will be on tour in US in 2022 and I’m looking forward to experience this in person. Thank you for your love of Bruce and of course Ronnie James Dio 🖤
If you loved the voice of bruce, you must to listen his song "The Tears of the Dragon - Bruce ". He uses all his tenor voice and skills. Really good
Thank you for your react videos.
Yes please lets do taht one
Especially the video with Tribuzy
Due to your suggestion I listened to the song and Holy cow 🤯 Thanks for turning me on to that perfection of a gem!
@@martintinkin6891 THAT live version is the Best!!!!!
Lizzie, It would be really cool to see your reaction to Iron Maiden - Paschendale (live). The way that this one is composed is incredible.
Especially with the intro they use with the whistling shells
The bass line is on point
The whole En Vivo concert is just a masterpiece. Definetly my favorite live performance.
It's great. She couldn't go wrong just going through and reacting to each song in the show.
If you decide to do "The Talisman," just know that it is the perfect example of "Park it and Bark it." However, it is also a great example of how to create a set list that let's you conserve energy and your voice for the entire hour and a half or longer show. For "En Vivo," "The Talisman" is the 5th song. It is a difficult song in that it is at the top of Bruce's range for much of the song. Next, Bruce addresses the crowd, resting his voice by talking. Be careful though, he drops a F-bomb in the middle of his introduction to the next song, "Coming Home," which is a ballad of sorts. THIS would be an amazing song for you to breakdown, not only because Bruce sings it almost entirely in his mid-range, but also because he spends a majority of the song standing, balanced on the edge of his stage monitors! After this, comes "Dance of Death."
So, in these three songs, we see Bruce "Park it and Bark it," conserving bodily energy, a spoken section/ballad to rest his voice as well as "Parking it" on the edge of his monitor in a horse stance, I might add. Followed by the crazy antics/singing in "Dance of Death."
This setup shows the band's intelligence when it comes to conservation of energy an Bruce's 60 year old voice. No wonder they've been around for so long! Up the Irons!
You definitely have to listen to the Talisman!
Great explanation!
The first shows of that tour had The Talisman as the 11th song. Right after The Evil That Men Do, imagine singing that back to back. Took them just 4 shows to move The Talisman to the 5th position.
Iron Maiden concerts in Chile are out of this world, it's an amazing experience to be there, you feel like you're not only watching Iron Maiden, but a part of the show as well 🤘🏽
Chile 🔥🇨🇱 One of the best audience in the world and not only for maiden...from wu tang clan...many pop singers to ac/dc and maiden have said it. 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for chosing this live video.
The concert in Chile was transformed into an album, called "Iron Maiden in Chile" and a DVD of it was made. All songs of that album are a musical and vocal jewel.
Another thing is to talk about that audience. Those people are on fire!
i was there mate !! WAS AMAZING!!
Chileans are madmen,just look at this show,they put the Rio public in the corner✌⚡🤘🤘🤘
Terrific choice Elizabeth.
Next iron maiden should be the talisman from this same concert
Yes, the antithesis of this song, where Bruce actually doesn't move from his spot because it is so dificult to sing!
@@nocommentgaming5399 yes one of the best bruce ever
the mercenary, rainmaker, wicker man, aso !
CLANSMAN
Dance of the dead is in my opinion the most underrated album of Iron Maiden. There are so much great songs on it. It's just fantastic
Rainmaker was on that album correct and Pashendale?
Could not agree more @Harlekin76. It is one of my faves.
And yes CT, Rainmaker and Paschendale are on that album
Yes and remember Motsegur and the great The new Frontier. There are all shades of Iron Maiden, fresh Up-tempo numbers and epic Rock songs. But when it came out, I've read so much bad critics I can't understand. And as you see, these songs want to be played live! 😁
@@britstyx Paschendale is the best Iron Maiden song ever imo
Great songs yes - terrible cover artwork though :D
I would love to see you reacting to The Talisman from that same concert and live album. There are too many things and details to breakdown and Bruce delivers one of the best vocal performances of his career.
You should review to "When the Wild Wind Blows" by Iron Maiden. That song really showcases Bruce's storytelling skills as well as singing
yes! one of my favorites!
Such a great one! I love that it has an actual plot twist lol
Yes Please !!!
Any version recommendation? I don't want to spoil something while searching for a good live video.
@@markuszx3539 definitely en vivo. Such a good live version. Here: th-cam.com/video/WjKKD6yXlVc/w-d-xo.html
People used to say “Iron Maiden” is a religion in South America. I’m not sure about other countries, but in Brazil(my country), yes, yes it is.
For us, it doesn’t matter if they come out with a bad concert, a bad album or anything like that. We don’t care, we will love them forever and sold out every single concert.
Up the Irons! Õ/
Agreed!!!!!
We say that everywhere, even here in Canada.
IRON MAIDEN are a live band that has to be seen to believe....and BRUCE is on a complete different level of a singer/front man and the most amazing showmen in all of Metal today 🤘🏼 UP THE IRONS 🤘🏼
True🤘🤘🤘
Absolutly TRUE!!!
💯
Iron Maiden are my favorite band and have amazing concerts but I have to say I have seen better live bands
Hype for this reacting!
I saw them live once ... it's amazing how much they move, but specially, how much they all smile and grin at everyone during the whole show. They just contaminate thecwhole room with joy, just by watching them.
On your comment about the crowd singing together, I saw maiden a few years ago on Bruce's birthday, and the crowd joined together to sing him happy birthday and in true British crowd style/mob mentality, you could barely hear him over the crowd, absolutely unreal experience to see in real life, one of my favourite ever concert experiences
I absolutely love the freedom you give yourself to completely dive into these songs.
“…beautiful merging of audience and band energy that feels like it’s almost explosive in nature”
That may be the best description of a Maiden concert vibe that I’ve ever heard.
and it's even better when you're part of the audience
@@kenbongaards554 Definitely!
Hi Elizabeth, I'm glad you're reacting to another Iron Maiden song/video, and I loved this performance. Bruce's vocals were amazing, and I was really impressed by the (3) guitar solos. I especially enjoyed Janick Gers, who had an energetic stage presence (doing the, "Jig," while playing guitar). Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
I know we’re all here to talk about Bruce, and even the guitar playing to a smaller extent; but can we give some Credit to Steve Harris (the bass player)? The guy is the absolute engine of that band and through the guitars and soaring vocals his power, passion, and prowess shine through. Thank you for all that you have given us Steve, we legitimately do not get Iron Maiden without you, and thank you The Charismatic Voice for giving us metal idiots a fresh take on the music we love ❤️
The only constant for the entirety of this band's existence. He is the driving force and main writer. Also his galloping bass is what gives Maiden the unique sound. UP THE IRONS!
I know that it's been 12 days, but this song has the lyrics for you:
th-cam.com/video/I3npl36GWeg/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy.
steve is the heartbeat of the band, his bass lines are legendary, yet nothing fancy, and his passion and will to give it back to the people has no equal !
I'd love to see a collaboration with Steve Harris and Tuomas Holopainin......
Absolutely right. Steve Harris is the man.
Iron Maiden is an OPERA... they are STILL using drawing decors and changing them during their performances. Heavy Metal Opera. Bruce is the BEST PERFORMER IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! His charisma and capability of telling stories so easilly, make him a special individual. I will probably CRY all the tears I have the day he will die. I have been so blessed to see him 4 times, as my first show was Fear of the Dark in Montréal Canada 🍁 in 1992. What you are describing is exactly what it is : how much energy does he have RUNNING the way he does on a stage and being SOOOOOO GOOOOD!!
UP THE IRON!!! 🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
I am a long time follower of this channel, but even longer Iron Maiden fan too. Couple of special things going on in this song`s performance:
Bruce is in great shape for this one.
Not very often you see Dave Murray Playing a Gibson Les Paul.
You can see how Janick is enjoying so much the band´s performance in this one, as he wrote it.
This is the best Janick Gers best solo ever in my opinion, 22:00 . All three absolutely killed their solo... but Janick was completely in the zone, played a very difficult legato section.... with eyes closed.
We are all fans and we always remember how much merit all the members of the band have. I will use my turn to praise Janick Gers: An accomplished songwriter which brings so beautiful stylish songs to the band, a uniquely styled guitar player with elegant notes choice and melodic sense, with incredible presence and movement on stage. Also all around kind, generous guy (he helped Blaze Bayly with songwirting when he most needed it to fill such big shoes as he had).
Love all the guys but I shout out to Janick today. Cheers all!
I've always been amazed by Nicko's footwork.. one of the greatest drummers alive at that age and in top condition 🙏 i wish a long life for Mr. McBrain 💪🇬🇧
I think you should check out Bruce's solo career..especially Tears pf the Dragon live with Tribuzy…goosebumps everytime I hear it
This!!!
YES!!!
Tears of the Dragon, that chorus is very emotional. I even love the song Tattooed Millionaire, that came out like, a year after I got into Metal
I'd still love to see you check out Paschendale from this same album!
It's amazing that a band can be so successful, writing folk songs, and putting them to music...beautiful, heavy, melodic music..
We are so lucky to be able to live in a time when Iron Maiden exists...
FOR SURE
I just love watching her facial expressions , her excitement , wonder and her appreciation for the God given talent of the artist no matter the genre. Can't get enough of her ....Thank you !
14:54 Liss here
Your god has nothing to do with this!!! And just Nicko is christian in the band, others most likely irreligious! Be respectful!!
Miss Elizabeth, you just nailed exactly everything that describes Iron Maiden best. Everything Bruce sings is a historical lesson an adventure! He is the ultimate frontman and storyteller! And secondly, the fans are rabid and dedicated Beyond any other fanbase on the planet. This is Iron Maiden in a nutshell
When you talked about him "defying all rules" when it comes to singing and movement --- I have literally seen a clip of him falling off one of the monitors mid-verse, landing UPSIDE DOWN, and somehows his vocals were 100% uninterrupted. Like, if you heard it as audio, you've have no idea that the guy had tripped, let alone falled on his neck. It's like his lungs are the Planet Express ship from Futurama.
YEEEEESSSSS!! I love Iron Maiden!!
I think Iron Maiden is not playing for an audiance, but with the audiance. I see it everytime when the band give them a place or a guided solo in the song. 🙂
I saw Iron Maiden this last October and Bruce essentially said that. We’re part of the concert too. ❤
Iron Maiden has a superpower that no other band has. Their albums are produced perfectly and yet somehow, they sound even better live.
Yes yes yes!!!! I love this song!! One night wandering in the Everglades. I’d one drink but no more.
I love Bruce Dickinson!! His vocals are sooo enchanting !!
Yes it works, great choice! First Tools and now Iron Maiden! Elizabeth stays on track! I bend my knee and praise you, Milady Elizabeth! I am unworthy, I am unworthy ... 🙏🙏🙏
Party time! Excellent!!!
@@mikeofmidgard Schwing!!!! 🤣
@@joergojschaefer3521 😁
They’re touring the US in 2022 on the Legacy Of The Beast tour. You must go see them in person. I’ve seen them 12 or 13 times. Always an incredible show!
Iron Maiden have steadfastly produced gold throughout all of their eras. Bruce is simply magnificent and perhaps my favorite of all time. Just massive.
The commentary on audience participation and comradery is such a colossal understatement.
I saw Iron Maiden live on the Book of Souls world tour (the first time they've ever come to my country) and the way they inspire and engage with the crowd cannot be fully felt until you experience it live. We were about 60 thousand, ranging in ages from 16 - 80 from all walks of life, united in our love for Iron Maiden. There was this unspoken solidarity in the crowd, with a bunch of big, Burly biker dudes to my Left, and Susie the retired accountant and her Husband that only listens to Jazz on my right, a bunch of high school kids... all of us, random strangers, linked up like a sports team singing their national anthem, belting out the lyrics to Blood Brothers at the top of our lungs.
The camera could never do that magic justice.
Brotherhood.🤘🏻
I need to start listening to Maiden again.
Truly, one of the best !
Indeed! ❤️
22:40 for me personally, that position while playing guitar is incredibly difficult. Mostly because you have to stabilize your guitar with the same hand that is playing the notes, it severely limits your hands movement speed and to an extent your accuracy. Luckily the speed of your fingers doesn't really get changed by that position.
Yea, that stance is definitely all about showing off, which is something Gers does a lot. Not the biggest fan of his playing or solos, but he sure is a great showman.
You see I actually prefer this position when playing fast notes. I just feel like having my arm "closer" to me helps a lot
As a fellow guitar player, I agree to this stance, i have very mutch problem when it comes to solos to play at this stance, just bcus i need to hold the guitar at the same time i need to move around with my fingers, he is a special man janick, but practise i quess xD love him, love the way he show of, and hes style, casting around that guitar, oddly stances and so much more.
yeah, exactly, its only the most known (to yourself) solos you can do it and it will never be easier than regular position
Dance of Death is a good song from Maiden! Good pick!
Elizabeth, I love your Iron Maiden reviews.
You give the best reactions, the way you get excited and your laughter..
A pleasure to watch...
And a perfect voice to do it too...
I saw them live during the Dance of Death Tour at the Universal amphitheater,I can recall getting the chills and goosebumps when they got to Dance Of Death. Maiden really has the best live shows of any artist Ive seen.
When the Bruce Dickinson itch starts surfacing again, perhaps consider listening to the live version of Tears of the Dragon with Tribuzy. It's a song be wrote as part of his solo career and that version might well be his best vocal performance he's ever done as it's so emotional and powerful, and sounds great! 🙂
Yep yep yep yep yep
O tak!!!👍
That reaction to Dickinson jumping was a serious highlight, haha, so good. I'd love to see Elizabeth interview Bruce and see her ask him about the stance, the jumps and everything. Just lovely reaction.
As for requests, I've recommended these before and here they go again: Helloween's Skyfall, Rhapsody of Fire's Lamento Eroico, Cradle of Filth's Her Ghost in the Fog and Amon Amarth's Fate of Norns.
She might explode hearing Dani Filth's screeches. I am a 6 octave Dramatic Tenor and I still can't figure out how to do that! Hhhaha, I think you need to be a midget. I am 6'4 300lbs, with Bruce's voice essentially with Halford range, might be too big 😅
@@KelticKabukiGirl I know! I'm so intrigued to watch her reaction, that screech is inhuman! Hahaha
Check out the En Vivo version of The Talisman, Bruce has so much energy in his voice to stay in the high notes.
Yessss🤘🤘🤘🤘
Space invaders sweater?! Seriously? Whole new level of appreciation.
Friend of mine pointed me to this channel. I really enjoy the excited squirrel watching Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden, which many of us have been used to for decades and she's watching all of this now for the first time. Happy that you're having fun.
Yay! Loved Elizabeth doing a micro-mini head bang at the 25:30 minute mark. Baby steps ♥️ Brought me the biggest smile 😊 love her words and grace
Recommend Remember Tomorrow live at Ullevi! Very dynamic vocals and thrilling screams in there.
Maiden siempre elige entre sus destinos a chile. tiene ese amor por nuestro publico que cada vez que viene se supera y esa es la energia que le transmite la gente y los hace dar todo de si mismos. bruce lo dijo, chile es nuestro mejor publico
Pues en 2022 no fueron jaja
Somoh el mejor país de Chileee!!!
It was there, it was the most incredible maiden concert in Chile, the setlist and performance was pure joy! great choice
Your enthousiasme, is so awsome to see, it makes a brilliant song even better and more beautiful to watch
That performance is absolutely mesmerizing.
The Talisman - En Vivo is a POWERHOUSE of a track, and when bruce wings it live, it takes it to a whole new level. Absolutely Haunting, exhilarating and awe-inspiring.
You'd love it, this video was fantastic too thank you !
That's one of my top 5 Iron Maiden's songs!! Thank you!!
Dance of Death is such an amazing song, and Bruce's singing and Adrian's solo are the highlights of the whole song.
Thank you for an amazing analysis. The drama and story telling ability of Bruce has no parallel especially when you combine it with his sheer vocal power..
Hello. My name is Paul and I am a major metal fan from Ireland. Came across your channel a while ago. I love the idea of this reaction to what is under appreciated music. It’s so complex and it’s good to see someone who understands what it takes to do this. I have a list of songs that I think are worthy of your opinion. I would love to share it with you as I do believe they will blow your mind. Keep up the good work and don’t ever change how you do it. Everyone needs a little metal in there life and this brings it to a wider audience. Thanks Paul the recovery driver and head banger lol
The greatest live preforming band in history
My favorite version of this song is actually from Death on the Road where I think Bruce’s performance is a little better but this one is pretty awesome.
Another to note about the energy of the band on stage is every one of these guys were at least pushing 60 in En Vivo!
Edit: Janick’s hand position might actually put a little less stress on his wrist but fun fact: Janick Gers is left handed and plays a right handed guitar.
Iron Maiden's "Seventh Son of the Seventh Son" with its perfect pre-chorus and Bruce's perplexing vocal delivery, as well as containing one of the most powerful riffs ever written (during the time change after the intro).
The verses feature this constant technique where Bruce will belt out a long “Oh-Oh-Oh” followed by the guitars playing the same melody next. This vocal-instrumental call-response is such a cool technique and is honestly one of my favorite parts of the song.
Bruce starts reading a spoken word passage super eerily, and afterward, the guitars begin to cut back in. If you listen on headphones, each guitar is placed in opposite ears, again creating a killer call and response dynamic. The canned choir also joins in, and the mood is really heavy and ominous.
I would love to watch your facial expressions as you critique this song. A must!
Your reaction to our music is so entertaining. Never been to a opera. But have seen Iron Maiden every tour since they opened up for Judas Priest in 81in Dallas and Atlanta.
Well, my favourite Iron Maiden song, and it apparently came out on my birthday last year! What a pleasant surprise to find this channel!!
Such a great performance! The Talisman, from the same show is a must see. Its a harder song to sing so you can really see how he grounds himself onto the stage!
I think you'd really enjoy seeing and reacting to Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart doing a live cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" in their 2012 performance at the Kennedy Center. Ann and Nancy had the honor and pressure of performing the tribute to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin who were being honored and were in the audience while Jason Bohnam played drums for the performance. Ann Wilson does an amazing job doing the Led Zeppelin hit, both staying true to Zeppelin's intent while adding just a touch of some unique flair to add a little bit of her own touch. I really believe you would love it and I know I would love watching your reaction to Ann and Nancy Wilsons' performance. Of note, they also performed in front of the sitting U.S. President who was also in the audience for the tribute. No pressure! Please consider giving this one a shot!
Iron Maiden is my favourite band. I just love your reactions. Thank you!
Im late to the party but yeah....the look of amazement on your face is exactly what drew me to the band at 12...my Dad plays bass and he turned me onto Maiden when I was young. Suffice it to say I've NEVER looked back. You should see them live. Theyre almost 70 now and the energy has come down a bit but they still ROCK and nothing I've ever seen comes close to the way they treat their fans. It'll be a cold cold day in hell when they call it quits. But hey...they deserve it for everything they've given to fans like me and the rest. UP THE IRONS!!! MAIDEN FOR LIFE!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Elizabeth.
See you enjoy this song and this musical is unpayble!!!
This is one of my favorites songs of Iron Maiden.
You are so beautiful!
Dickinson is one of the rock singers. It's amazing how he conveys emotions just by reading the text, without even starting to sing.
One of my favourite Maiden songs - so underrated.
Jannick’s solo is harder to play when it’s raised that high. But since he’s been playing guitar like that as a showman, it’s become second nature to him.
I have always loved Iron Maiden... your enthusiasm helps me love them even more!
I love your analyzing with the descriping of what's happening to the body at this mo0ment! I could'n imagine that you never heard Maiden before...
Ohhhhyees, lovely music
Speaking of awesomeness, any chances for interview with Bruce Dickinson? :)
Kirk is working on getting Bruce on the channel. There is a chance, yes!
@@TheCharismaticVoice wow this is a great news, good luck! :)
Wow, I'm very excited! 🙂
Yes! That's how I started listening to classical music. Violins sound a lot like guitar soloes. Especially in baroque music ala Albinoni & Vivaldi.
Elizabeth, if you enjoyed Dance of Death , please do next live version of "No More Lies" song. It is one of the most under rated maiden's songs with amazing story telling, instruments and vibe. You will not be disappointed. Perfectly, If you'd be able to find live version back from 2003 (th-cam.com/video/RzNyKXFvJNQ/w-d-xo.html) , but I guess any version will do.
In terms of your question to playing solo by Mr Janick Gers and his position during performing it. Well, for human beings it would be very difficult, but Mr Gers can do it in any possible yoga possitions on the planet with the smile on his face. Cheers ! :)
I think Montsequer and Paschendale, Age of Innocence are way better picks, New Frontier and No More Lies are my least favorite, and speaking as someone who sings these songs and is also a 6 Octave Dramatic Tenor as is Bruce, well, I think he's a 5 and a half, Halford is, or was, 6, Dio too.
@@KelticKabukiGirl Thanks God we all have different taste :) world would be very boring otherwise. I just love No more lies vibe, music and the things Bruce does on thhe stage, especially in this 2003 concert ;)
@@karmaketon236 its the chorus, its repetitive and I don't have as much fun singing it. I am seeing it from another Dramatic Tenor's view.
Absolutely spot on with your commentary. It feels like watching me in my early teens first discovering the band. I love how you're feeling the passion of Maiden, and how Bruce can articulate and convey a story through his words. Definitely made my day to see your awe and amusement, thank you very much. It's powerful to hear and watch someone who can dissect and feel the music in their entire being! Much love to you. Almost as much of a privilege as seeing the band live, which I was lucky to have done.
I didn't see anyone commenting about the guitar playing position you asked about. In fact, there is not more or less difficulty on playing with the guitar neck pointing up. Sometimes it can in fact make it easier to drive the hand up or down the neck. However, at their level of music skills, most of those movements are mainly to make it cool to watch. They play very difficult arpeggios with high precision, multiple transitions, and tapping elements. At such a level of action, it does not really matter the angle of the guitar... Besides, they are not only moving the guitar neck, but they are running, jumping, dancing, playing with their band mates, and (in some cases) spinning the guitars or even throwing them to the air to just pick them up and continue playing... Search for it online. It is awesome! In terms or band, Iron Maiden musicians are, each one of them, a show apart inside the show!!!!
