    I always recommend Rime of the Ancient Mariner here, but the most accessible Maiden songs (gateway drug?) is probably Can I Play With Madness?, The Evil That Men Do, or 2 minutes to Midnight. Boy, there are more must-have Maiden songs than I realised as I started typing this.
    I mean I’ve avoided Number if the Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name or Run to the Hills on purpose, but - well.

Stranger In A Strange Land is surely one of their very best, along with other classics like Flight Of Icarus, Powerslave, Wasted Years, Caught Somewhere In Time, Sea Of Madness, and so many more than I can name here. Truly amazing stuff!!
    Your wonderful facial expressions, etc. show how much impact it had on you right from the start. I could see how the tune drew you in and held you in the grasp of its story & lyrics, as well as all those fantastic chords and melodies on the vocals and guitars.

    Great to see a young black girl rocking out to Maiden and loving it! Keep the rabbit hole going! Haven´t seen any reactor do Revelations. Obviously you should react to the classics, Hallowed be thy name (live, Hammersmith), Fear of the Dark (live, Rock in Rio), Rime of the Ancient Mariner (live, Flight 666), The Trooper, Number of the Beast, Phantom of the Opera. Lots of Maiden song lyrics are either historical or based on literary material.

    The song is about the Franklin expedition to find a northern passage from Atlantic to Pacific Ocean in the mid 1800’s. They found the graves of some of the crew in their early 20’s perfectly preserved over 100 years later. The ships became trapped in the ice. The perspective of the song is of one of the dead crew members.

(The big jumbo jet) The band has such a plane, and he flies them around. He is also a beer brewer with his own beer company, a songwriter, an author. And the best part? He beat throat cancer 5 years ago, and still sings like an angel afterwards! :D

    Welcome to the Iron Maiden family. You are in for one hell of a great ride. I would love to suggest which song for you to listen to next, but there is just too many. I will suggest though you go back to their first album and then go in order. Maiden have had 3 vocalist in Paul Di'Anno (1978-1981) , Bruce Dickinson (1982-1998/2000-today) and Blaze Bayley (1994-1999). The guy you just heard is Bruce. All 3 singers are good, but Bruce is on a level much, much higher than the others. In any case enjoy this wild ride that is Iron Maiden and a phrase you will from many Maiden fans, "Up the IRONS!" \m/\m/

    It's definitely hard to decide what is more entertaining.
    The of course very good video to that song or your reaction to it.
    Simple a sweet combination.
    It's seems you found something to enjoy?

    I'm so proud to share a birthday with Adrian Smith--the more accomplished one who played that solo, not the architect of the same name who designed the world's tallest building. 😂

    Please do Aces High, Power Slave, and Rime of The Ancient Mariner. All Iron Maiden greats.

      seeing how much those guitars got her heated in this one - these just might cause a cardiac arrest! LOL But I say take a chance cuz it's some of the best metal ever record. Up the Irons!

    Can't do better than Iron Maiden especially live. Like Steve said before me Hallowed be thy name is a must

    if this is your first maiden listen then you're in the good way. a lot of people just listens run to the hills or the trooper and hey, they're not bad songs but having things like this, wasted years, powerslave, the number of the beast, caught somewhere in time, etc etc.... you started great, i recommend now wasted years bucause it has a similar solo style and it's a mid tempo song. not fast, not slow. it's perfect to keep maiden style before passing to another stuff. but any song i said is a classic.. they all have nice solos, they're my fav part of songs and even music as a guitar player too. happy holidays
