    They indeed wanted Vincent Price to read the intro for the album, but he wanted 25.000 Pounds. So they got Barry Clayton who did a great job.

      @@damot1051 That is correct, looking it up it appears that they did about 20 gigs on this tour before the album dropped. So, unless they had a different setlist for the first few dates I'm wrong in saying no had heard TNOTB before this; though it would be the first time for the vast majority of this audience hearing Number of the Beast material (other than Run to the Hills and Total Eclipse)

    Bruce is known as "The Human Air Raid Siren." Any questions? His vocals are so incredibly powerful... as a female vocalist, I have spent my life trying to match him with only moderate and infrequent success. I worship at his feet (especially when he's in the backward-bent fry-scream position!!) He's a one of a kind!

    Greetings from Germany again..damned, my friend, that was perhaps the best reaction video i've ever saw. Because you notice & appreciate everything, especialy those little things (the stunning of the crowd, Bruce holding the Mikrophon stand with one hand..etc.) things that even i didn't notice. Just like you i also thought it was Vincent Price. It says that he wanted way to much money. Bad luck for him and very good for us, the MaidenFamily. Because they hired a man called Barry Clayton, a Radio & TV pionier and storyteller. He gave us this iconic and everlasting 25 seconds quote from the book of revelation. He past away in 2012 R.I.P....Wow, awesome. And it seems you will dive deeper into Maiden. And thats amazing. And i'm so glad. I just wanna let you know how much that mean to me. I'm a MaidenManiac since 1986. To see you starting to discover Maiden reminds to my first expirience, long ago. You take me literaly back in time. To a time, maybe the best of my life. Thats totaly crazy. Thats why i love those react videos. That whats all about, right. But alot reacters dont check that. With disinterest & no respect to Bands, their music and their fans. They're obviously just doing this for likes, for getting patrions and making money. This is sad and sucks. And thats why it's so difficult to find true and honest guys like you. So i just say "Thank You" and keep on rockin'&rollin' and Stay Safe UP THE IRONS ...from Köln/Cologne..Stefan 🤘🎸💚🐾

I tried and quickly discovered that I could not and can not to this day, SCREAM! One scream and I was done for the night. Go back and listen to the lines following the scream. His vibrato and fullness are absolutely amazing.
    By the way, another incredible scream is Roger Daltrey of The Who in "Won't Get Fooled Again." He screams twice, but the second one is one of the greatest in all of rock music.

    There’s a little gem from the extended Maiden catalogue, one of their B-sides titled Reach Out. Bruce switches to backing vocals while guitarist Adrian Smith sings lead. His voice is really good. He’s done some solo stuff too where he does more vocal work.
    Reach Out was on the B-side of Wasted Years, which I highly recommend listening to, even more so the Flight 666 live version as you get to Adrian on backing vocals on that.

  • @JasonSmith-lp6wg
    @JasonSmith-lp6wg 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Great video, Mr. Ken. As far as I know, the song is based upon a nightmare Steve Harris (bassist, founding member) had after watching Damien: Omen II. Also, Steve and Bruce used to fight over stage space (as each felt that centre stage was theirs.) So, to annoy Steve, Bruce would stick-out his long mic stand (which has a very wide set of legs, at the base) to trip-up Steve. If you want to hear something totally funny, Bruce secretly recorded an argument between Steve and Nicko McBrain (their drummer) which latter made it onto the B-side of something. It's called A Mission From 'Arry.

    • @CoffeeMatt10

      It was on the B-side for 2 Minutes To Midnight, I’ve developed a habit of saying “f*** my old boots” thanks to that 😂
      Bruce recorded it, and he deliberately tried to wind Nicko up even more too... “What if the light truss was gonna fall on you?”

      “Cunt was standing beside me, sitting down!” I remember picking up the 12” single with that on the B-Side and being initially disappointed that it wasn’t a song. But I came to appreciate it once I listened a few times. It was just there with absolutely no context given.

    G'day Ken. You have heard "Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden. Bruce's lung power!!! Trying to match his sustain in that song was good practice for a kid learning to sing! This was another one! As someone already said, this was one of the first if not THE first time this song was heard - the crowd being astonished is right! Bruce was probably looking to see how they were taking it!

    I'm new-ish to Iron Maiden fandom, so as I watch the videos of early Maiden and later Maiden I rather enjoy Bruce's transition from lycra leggings to cargo pants. But he Brings. It. Every damn time. And he can still wail. Rock on, Legend.

    Yes, that is one of the best screams of all time! It is a scream that was not supposed to be there from the beginning. When recording the album of the same name, the producer Martin Birch (R.I.P.) forced Bruce to sing the first part over and over and over. It took hours and I believe he started to break chairs in the end because he got so frustrated. The final time he nailed it, and was asked to sing that scream. Which he did very willingly and the result is now the iconic scream! More in this video: th-cam.com/video/udHl_PW-T1A/w-d-xo.html

    Saw them live back in 88 for the Seventh Son tour and in the early 90s for the Fear of the Dark Tour - Seventh Son was in a big sporting auditorium, my first concert, huge energy, Fear of the Dark was in a small 3500 seat music theater, still huge energy - that they show in this video is really the way they always play - Steve is always right up there with the bass, Dave & Adrian will wander back and forth and talk with each other and Bruce is always a fireball and all over the damned place.

    There are two guitar solos from two listed lead guitarists. However, this song was built outside from the Steve Harris bassline. It's mostly in D Major and is a good example of major scale metal. It goes into Mixolydian for the instrumental section for a bluesy feel.

    You have to react to Iron Maiden performing 'Infinite Dreams' live at the N.E.C Birmingham 1988. No react channel has reacted to it yet and Bruces performance really deserves it!

    This recording is the same as the one they put out the video for "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from. Aside from the look of everyone on stage, the way Steve Harris's bass sound is "snapping" in the mix is just a dead giveaway.
