Bruce has long been a great frontman and his voice is amazing! You can never go wrong with Iron Maiden. Just an fyi this lead singer is also their pilot and flies them around in their own Iron Maiden airplane!
100% correct m8, but sadly enough Bruce doesn't fly anymore because of his age (nearing 64!), since the beginning of this year. And Ed Force One was retired a ferw years back I believe sadly... Rock on!!
@@marthijnz. My ex was also an airline pilot. He met Bruce Dickinson once & didn’t have a clue who he was!! Rang me up to say he’d met some heavy metal guy who was also a pilot - I knew exactly who he meant & was totally freaking out! Was gutted he didn’t even get an autograph for me, let alone a photo! 🙄. I’m seeing Iron Maiden twice when they play in the U.K. this summer - can’t wait!
I got to see Maiden at a place called 'The Point' in Dublin, Ireland during the 'Dance of Death' tour and the first of three songs for the encore was 'Fear of the Dark'. The place was already crazy but when the lights dropped and the beat started up the place literally erupted. It was one hell of a glorious night that got even better when they played 'Run to the Hills' next and ended with 'Number of the Beast'. People were singing along to the songs, even got to sing alone as Bruce went into conductor mode and that's what it's all about. I got to see one of the greatest bands ever and they love us like we love them. Never, ever be sorry for getting excited about something you like or love, embrace it and tell all those who say otherwise to 'FUCK OFF' :D
Your wish is slowly being granted, it seems. There's a movement now: NWOTHM stands for the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal. Google is your friend, several of these bands are, if not just what you're looking for, probably very close. Also, newest episodes of Stranger Things and Westworld (at the time of writing this) both have metallica soundtracks! The reports of rock being dead are wildly exaggerated.
This version of this song is the first experience I ever had of iron maiden. Fell in love with them and been in live with them ever since. That was over 20 years ago now when I was about 7 years old. Since then, been fortunate enough to have seen them 7 times. Welcome to the family, brother
Welcome to my youth, when none of my very few friends shared my music tastes and I didn't care anyways. As someone who had then a real FEAR of the dark, ironically I fell in love with this song since the very first time I heard it. Maybe because I could totally feel the lyrics, maybe because it's a piece of art.
@@k24civic I'm so sorry to read that. It took me really long time and help to get better (I'm 46 now)- Lucky for me I also have a really understanding and patient husband who nowadays is still ready to whatever. Hugs from here, mate.
It's a shame, i had just 2 friends back when i started listening to Maiden, but we learned how to play the guitar and drumms just to play some songs of them, even if we weren't good enough, the fact that i learned to play the guitar and my first song was the trooper was priceless, it took a looot of time to learn and play on a decent level but it was worthy. Old good memories.
I don't think Maiden gets enough credit for how incredible they, and their fans, are. I've seen them many times and it's always amazing. They can push through 2-3-4 hours of songs and everybody just goes wild with it. Crowds are always chanting and singing along with their songs with a gleam in their eyes and the band never fails to deliver. Most people think that Metallica is the greatest rock/metal band of that age, but I really beg to differ. If I were to name the greatest heavy metal band of all time, this is it.
This is the music that I grew up with in the 80’s. Super great musicianship, no auto tune, these bands made their bones in front of huge audiences. You had to bring it. 😊
Iron Maiden is phenomenal , I saw Them a few years ago and it was a great experience. I've been listening to maiden since I was 8 years old I love their music .
I first heard these guys when I was six years old and never went back. I like a lot of music but Iron Maiden was a definite crossroads for me. Glad you enjoyed them!
I was at rock in rio, we arrived at 3pm just to hear iron maiden, fear of the dark played almost at 3am, best show of my life, see live the 3 best guitars in the world together playing iron maiden's anthem
Anyone who has not seen Iron Maiden's Rock in Rio videos as well as Japan, well..... pretty much everywhere. It is a freaking Spiritial experience. Millions of people screaming, chanting and I've seen my fair share of grown men just break down crying when they came on stage in Rio!!! Sooooo incredible.
Iron Maiden is my all time favorite Rock n Roll Heavy Metal Band. I started listening to them in the late 70's. I was about 13. This video was from the early 2000's I think but they're still doing World Tours. They just don't put out a new album and just finished tour dates all over Europe and several shows in Brazil. They are now touring here in the United States. I have tickets to see them in a few months in Columbus, Ohio. It will be the 8th time I've seen them live. These guys are closing in on 70 years old and they still do 2 hour live shows. Greatest Heavy Metal Band EVER in my opinion.
Rock in Rio is prety much the only place every rock band dreams of playing on. The crowd is basically half of the city because the sound goes miles away, usually +/- 300k people for several days
it makes sense the crowd and how you are feeling I've been to countless deathcore/metalcore bands and Iron Maiden was still the best band i've ever experienced live!!!
I have seen them live 10 times and I am seeing them again in September. It always feels like a new experience each time, that's how good they are . Also, the Fans are always amazing.
Fan-tas-tic reaction! Thank you! I am blown away! 😃 They have such a joy on the stage, and their interaction with the audience is so natural. Stay positive, stay tuned. Greetings from Germany. 🙂
Did see them 2 weeks ago at Tons of Rock festival in Oslo, Norway. I was very afraid of Bruce Dickinson's voice since he had a throat cancer surgery since last time I did see them. But he did it. Fear of the dark with 80 000 people humming oh oh oh - fear of the dark - at the same time was magic. Bruce is now 64 and Nicko, the drummer is 70. But man - did I have a great time. You should see number of the beast and hallowed be thy name next.
Longtime Iron Maiden fan here but I only saw them for the first time a few months ago. Bruce Dickinson is 64 and ran around like a madman, that band gives what they have each show. Had I known it was going to be as good as it was I would have bought much better tickets, it was a top three show in my book. Steve Harris (bassist) and Dickinson did their absolute damndest to get everybody in the crowd involved. Reaction request: EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith (OFFICIAL VIDEO).
Dude, you be YOU! That is why they are here (why I am, anyway). I still feel this level of joy when I hear certain songs, even after 100's of listens. When I heard Unleash The Archers, and Jinjer the first time I was SO LIT! My moms was like "are you Okay?" So You GO!
Took my son to his first concert in 19 so of course it had to be maiden they've only been performing for 50 years and they were as good that night as they were 25 years the first time I saw them I can put you on some great music pick a genre
It was one week ago i heard that song live in Cologne.... this song... and it was a blast lilke always... There are two kinds of music: Iron Maiden and Bullshit! ;)
I grew up listening to Iron Maiden in High School and I love seeing a new generation of people getting it for the first time and seeing their minds blown!
I’ve not seen your reaction to the song yet. But I used to play the live version of maiden. When I got posted at KCIA. I would park in the dark and go dark. Then blast my tunes so they knew I was there.
You’re a reaction channel, if that’s how you react then you’re being genuine. Never apologise for going off for a song. Also you can never overreact to Maiden! 🤘🤘
Yo bro I just stumbled across this video and I must say you did an excellent job! Just this past weekend I got to be one of those audience members singing in the crowd here in Denver Colorado! They put on an amazing show and even being a 50 year old man I got goosebumps and chills every time they would play certain songs that either took me back to my childhood or that I couldn't believe I was singing along just like the crowds in the past to this song.. keep up the good work definitely many more songs from Maiden that you would get a kick out of..👍🏽👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽👊🏽
Watch them live as soon as you can, unfortunately they are about to end their career... This is as good as it gets! I will treasure every second of their live performance for the rest of my life!
Yes I saw them last night, and I couldn’t believe the power Bruce still possesses. Best show I’ve been to by far. The sound mixed with the ambiance and showmanship was next fucking level. Do not miss out if you have a chance!
I saw them on the killers tour with priest at the palladium in NYC, Diano was singing the bags under their eyes was amazing, Thats why they are great 40 yrs later i was 16 then
It's always amazed me how this song has stood up - from one of their least loved Dickinson albums, but it's ALWAYS played now, as ubiquitous as Run to the Hills. Love that you're watching this and loving it, head bangin' all those ridiculous stereotypes about who loves rock music out of the park. ✌
You can never overreact to Iron Maiden.
Well the kid is pro fascism.....
True
Fact
İron maiden is the best metal group in the world for me
It'll always amaze me how many great albums they produced off the back of their trademark galloping groove that's in 99% of their best songs.
It's kind of hard not freaking out to this level of excellence performed live in front of 250,000 screaming fans.
Actually it was over 300 thousand fans
@@thomastanczos6375 You're thinking of the first Maiden show at Rock in Rio. This one was 250,000.
@@danw4490 either way Maiden is still the greatest live band ever
@@thomastanczos6375 I agree! Up the Irons brother!

There is nothing better than being in a iron maiden crowd. It’s like a family.

First time I saw them live was at the o2 London in 2013. They opened with moonchild. The place just erupted.
Iron Maiden was in Los Angeles last week for 2 nights. Eddie made an appearance 3 times!
The genre’s of the old music needs to come back now!

There's a reason why the 'canon' version of Fear of the Dark is not the studio version from the single but the live performance from Helsinki '92.
!I can't think of a single bad Iron Maiden song. They are truly EPIC
Saw Maiden a few weeks ago, they were absolutely fantastic! They played this track too and it was just like this performance, the crowd also
it makes sense the crowd and how you are feeling I've been to countless deathcore/metalcore bands and Iron Maiden was still the best band i've ever experienced live!!!
I have seen them live 10 times and I am seeing them again in September. It always feels like a new experience each time, that's how good they are . Also, the Fans are always amazing.
Which September show? Saw them last night and they totally blew me away. The showmanship and props as well as the sound was absolutely amazing
Yes, man, this was in Brazil. I was there. I was 18 year old. Now I'am 41.

Nice reaction. I just saw them on September 15th in Tulsa, best show of my life, the experience is one not to be missed.
Maiden is one of the best live shows you could ever see🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I just saw them live 2 weeks ago and they still rocking in their 60s and sound the same. 🤘

"He's so lit I wouldn't be surprised if he starts doing backflips" lmao that made me laugh so much, imagining Bruce just starting to do backflips
NOBODY does metal like rio!
I was there, dude! I was 11yo and went with my mom. Good old days....
I saw Maiden in a small venue in Denver Colorado USA with Fear Factory, and they absolutely Shredded It. Both Groups were Magnificent. 🤘😎
I love the "over reactions". It's just your personality. Fuck what people think. For me it's so funny and awesome.

Wow, amazing , from what I’ve seen on these , Maiden is heads over everyone ..
I'm there in the middle... January 19th. 36ºC (97ºF) in Rio at that time and Iron Maiden doing that. Simply flabbergasted
Too think... these guys are in their 60's and still doing this... rocking this hard. Many props...
Here is your Iron Maiden challenge. Check out the live version of "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner". It is a 13 minute musical rollercoaster!
Oh an excellent suggestion! You don't even realise how long the song is because you're just drawn into it, everything about it is superb
I loved you sharing this moment with us. I love this track man.
MAIDEN IS LIFE!!!!!!
If you get the chance see them live. It will change your life, I swear to God.
I was really not a huge fan until I saw them live at Oz Fest. Black Sabbath headlined. I was pregnant that year, but still a blast!
plus these songs springed into life 20 odd years ago.
This is why they're my favorite band. I've seen them 9 times live, absolutely the best 🤘

The Clansman from this same concert is completely absurd crowd-wise
Most rock fans are very engaged with the band, the music and fellow fans in the audience. It's a comradery you won't find in any other genre of music.
My favorite maiden song, and the best live performers I've ever seen.
THAT CROWD 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 been there and experienced it (manchester UK 2018) it was unreal I even uploaded my crap video of if to TY I loved it that much 😂
Great! Show us.
That's Iron Maiden......

Seems that we have a new Maiden fan
Greatest metal band on the planet, Up The Irons!! Rime of the Ancient mariner-studio version.

End of the beginning! go now!
Maiden fans react like that because they are and always been an excellent band live,Bruces voice is still great even after Throat cancer❤
Gotta watch whole movie! "Iron Maiden Flight 666"
You should REALLY check up the same song but in Argentina, from the Flight 666 dvd. It beats the hell out of this crowd
