38 years later I can still hear my mom's voice from downstairs:" Turn that crap down,, now!!!!"
LoL
Are we siblings ? My mom used to scream same thing to me.
Bet she meant turn it up…👍
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men.
I thought that was part of the song.
I'd turn it up. Drown out the shouting. ;)
Written by bassist and founding member Steve Harris, the song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took place during the Crimean War. And inspired by Lord Tennyson’s poem of the same name.
What Lisa did not say, is that The Charge of the Light Brigade was a cavalry charge, where cavalry was a horseback division of an army. The charge was lightly armed cavalry up against an artillery position where the artillery was on higher ground. The charge was ordered by the CO on the field after a communications SNAFU and was basically a suicidal run into crossed artillery fire.
At the time it was one of the British army's biggest millitary blunders!
At some point thereafter, some of the Russian canons were taken. Those canon are used to this day as the raw materials used to forge Victoria Cross medals. Those medals are the equivalent of the USA's Medal of Honor...
What Lisa also neglected to mention is that Steve Harris is also the principal songwriter for Iron Maiden
Also nice to say that this battle is still today teach to young officers as the example NOT to follow... Because of the importance of intelligence above the chain of command
@@karlsmith2570 Steve Harris and Bruce dickinson have both their own styles, (just listen to their solo carrer each) but I really think both of them are important to iron maiden
The rhythm evokes the galloping horses.
Bruce Dickinson...a polymath. He’s an exceptional singer, fencer, and pilot among other things.
but the true genius is steve harris......
@@tobjord he can do soccer and bass which isn’t bad
@@elosoguapo8137 I mean he had a choice of going pro at west ham or going pro with Maiden... I'd say he took the safest bet
@@s3nsec0rruptr80 kinda like how ed O’Neill went with acting vs The Chicago Bears
Armored car enthusiast
The Trooper is a masterpiece, sonically hurling the listener into the Crimean War of 1854. The guitar leads are stunningly uplifting, then slope you right back into the skirmish. Bruce Dickinson is the lead singer.
Blows me away that there's people on this planet that have never even heard the name "Iron Maiden". This band is so iconic. They were one of the biggest names in music in the 80's and still going strong.
Here in latinoamerica its really knowed, like everyone has listen at least one theme of maiden, even younger generations, so its really weird that even if the born in 1999 they dont know whom is Iron Maiden
They listen to rap and hip hop and they’re young
Bikini Kill
Although I grew up in the 70s and 80s, I wasn't into metal and I never went to see Iron Maiden, though they came to town many times. Some time after 2000 my young nephew - a metal head, and god only knows where he got that from - was ready for his first concert, and Iron Maiden were doing a retro tour at the time, so I got us some tickets. I was never a fan, but I'll admit it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Bruce is a consummate performer and one hell of a vocalist. When my nephew's younger brother was ready for HIS first concert, I made sure to wait until Iron Maiden came around again, and neither of us were sorry for it.
I am with you, young or not, Iron Maiden is legend, in Brazil at any time you can see someone wearing an Iron Maiden shirt in the street, they are the only band in the world that have their own Boing 747 for touring.
Iron Maiden IS the greatest heavy metal band, and Bruce Dickinsons vocals are one of the greatest, their music consists of historical events, Greek mythology, novels, and personal issues they may struggle with like Fear of the dark, do the live version of that in Rock in Rio
For sure
well said
Couldn’t have put it any better
Yes!! Way Better Live! Up The Irons🤘
While I like Megadeth better there's no doubt Maiden is the bigger band
Dude!! I'm 47 and had been an Iron Maiden fan since I was 14. Bruce Dickenson sings in an epic range for the genre. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is a must
i'm 54 and still rockin to maiden, hope to see them on their "senjetsu"tour!!up the irons!!!
are you my none arab clone?
Rime of the ancient mariner is a work of metal art!
Listening to Iron Maiden can be a history lesson in itself. The multitude of poems and real-life scenarios that they have put into song is amazing.
Yes they are very smart and talented musicians. Love these guys. 🤟🤟🤟🤟
When you return to this band, you won't be sorry for "Hallowed By Thy Name"
realy need this
Live version!
Yes!
Hammersmith 1982
ruclips.net/video/7vP2hFFV57E/видео.html
Saw Iron Maiden live 27 times.greatest band ever for me.
Dude I am so jealous
Im waiting for my time. It's a big dream
@@mudzanin9986 hope it happens soon brother ,it will be worth the wajt
saw them 9 time firts time was Powerslave in 84 , Maiden it the best band to see live.
Do you like metal?
With Iron Maiden you usually not only get a great song but a history lesson or a piece of classic literature.
Been headbanging to Maiden for 40 years and the faces and reaction they are making i still make to this day... Up the Irons!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
That profile pic is awesome!
likewise,hope to catch them again on their senjetsu tour!! up thee irons there mate!!
One of the best heavy metal bands to grace the earth. Iron Maiden are talented and intelligent. Their lyrics are mostly about history and historical events. The singer, Bruce is also a commercial pilot. The band has their own plane and Bruce flies them to their gigs. Bruce does double duty flying the plane and being the lead singer!
The plane is callled Ed Force One and their call sign 666
In my opinion, this is the best metal band to come out of the 1980’s. The person in the artwork is their mascot, Eddie and he appears on every album cover.
Little known fact, Iron Maiden was ENTIRELY sober throughout their career which was almost unheard of for metal bands and the like...
They actually started in the 70’s!!
some of the best album art ever created!
My favorite album cover is the 2 Minutes to Midnight. something about it.
You mean 70s... And that's tough with Sabbath in the running.
How either of you could never have heard of Iron Maiden is almost incomprehensible, they are one of the most Iconic metal bands in the history of metal music and a staple of mine and millions of others around the world. The godfathers of metal that are right up there with Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. Their singer is one of the best ever and is also their airline pilot, yes he flies their tour Jet!
I honestly think I was more surprised by the “I’ve never seen a t-shirt” part.
That can only be a click-bait.
Just imagine you were only exposed to heavy metal all your life then in your mid 20's someone played Charlie Daniels Band for you and you said you never heard of them, that would be incomprehensible to everyone else. We all live in our little bubbles until we break free, some sooner than others.
When listening to maiden, Live is always better!! Studio Recordings can’t capture how great they are live.
Definitely!!!
Same can be said for a lot of groups playing live.
The energy of a live performance is far different and often far greater.
Live After Death is hands down one of the greatest live metal albums of all time.
Yeah bro! Maiden is the business! Hallowed be thy name (live version) is their masterpiece IMHO.
I have watched that video so many times. Bruce has the best voice ever!
Yes! I don't often recommend a live version first, but this one is definitely worthy. This is the one you want! ruclips.net/video/7vP2hFFV57E/видео.html
Live in 82 specifically :)
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD Yes
hollowed be thy name still brings chills down my god damn spine!
Lead singer is Bruce Dickinson. Fun fact. He's a licensed commercial pilot. He frequently pilots the bands jet during tours
AND takes fans on special tour trips on his plane. I mean, really? lol
He's retired as a commercial pilot now, that's why he's grown his hair long again.
@@off1k Ohhh okay sounds good. I love his long hair. Many bands are touring this summer. I think Maiden is one of them.
And don't forget his professional fencing skills, the man is vicious with a sword.
Also part owner of a Beer Company..
Glad you guys enjoyed your first taste of ‘Maiden! Here’s the info you asked for:
The Trooper was written about the infamous “Charge of the Light Brigade” incident that occurred during the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War in 1854.
Iron Maiden’s lead vocalist is Bruce Dickinson who truly is “one of the most interesting men in the world”. In addition to fronting ‘Maiden, he’s a licensed jumbo jet pilot (pilots the band’s tour jet himself), a world-class fencer, is building a full line of ‘Maiden branded beers, and has his own personal WWII tank collection.
A published author too. He's sickeningly talented.
Number of the beast or run to the hills for sure. The prisoner, fear of the Dark, Holy smoke, man I could name so many. Basically anything by them, it's all good.
Flight of Icarus too!
the ENTIRE Seventh son of a Seventh Son album... Can i play with Madness in particular for me.
Something tells me she would not enjoy Number of the Beast
@@STOCKHOLM07 True but isn't that part of reactions are supposed to be? No body likse everything after all.
Aces High
Oh shit... now you’ve done it....down the rabbit hole. A couple suggestions for Iron Maiden “Hallowed be thy Name” *live 1982* , “Aces High” , “Run to the Hills” , “Running Free” , “Wasted Years” , “Killers” , “Phantom of the Opera” , ”Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, “Infinite Dreams”, “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son”. And live they are the best.
I agree with everything you said, LOVE Maiden! Although I think Hallowed Be Thy Name live 1982 is the better version.
@@evacovault2880 yes, you are right ‘82 Hammersmith is the better live version.
Resistance is Futile. Up The Irons 🤘🤘🤘
WRATHCHILD! the crimean war is what the trooper is about
also Flight of Icarus
"I've never even seen a T-shirt" I highly doubt that.
precisely what I was thinking, and has been weirded out for not finding any comment telling that until yours
Same thought I had. No fucking way you haven't seen a few Maiden shirts. Maiden fans represent. Up the irons!
As I'm sitting here listening with one of my t-shirts on. Number of the Beast
I've got on my infinite dreams 1988 tour t-shirt that is falling apart now. Drill bit through eddies head.
Maiden is one of the few bands that can fill a coliseum TO THE BRIM with no advertising. What band from this generation can do that?
The war it's describing in the song is Crimean War in 1854. It describes a British charge on the Russian army. Iron Maiden are a British band through and through and most of their writing is told through British eyes. Go through their catalog and you'll find MANY historical events in their songs. i.e. Alexander the Great, The Clansman (about William Wallace), Paschendale, Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, The Longest Day; just to name a few.
I saw Maiden in 2019 in San Antonio, TX on my 50th birthday...best show in rock n roll, hands down... I saw KISS with all original members, in full gear when they were at the top of their game, & Maiden blew them away...
These dudes ALWAYS put on a helluva show live in concert. Never a disappointment, complete with stage antics, props, etc.
The perfect song as an introduction to the mighty Maiden!! As an 11 year old, it was the first Iron Maiden song I heard and it blew my mind🤯!! I played it over and over again because it was such an adrenaline rush!! Then I realised Iron Maiden had lots of other amazing songs and boy was that fun!! Recommending songs is tricky as they have so many great ones.
Essential Maiden tunes for a newcomer :
Hallowed Be Thy Name.
Number Of The Beast.
Run To The Hills.
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.
Blood Brothers.
The Clairvoyant.
Paschendale.
Wasted Years.
Infinite Dreams.
2 Minutes to Midnight.
Can I Play With Madness?
The Evil That Men Do.
Powerslave.
Heaven Can Wait.
Speed of Light.
If Eternity Should Fail.
See I told you recommending the next song would be difficult as there are just so many GREAT ones!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whatever you pick you will really enjoy going off how much fun you had with the Trooper!!
To maximise your enjoyment please watch live performances of the band as Maiden are one of the best live bands to have ever conquered the Earth!🌍
Now all you need is to be properly introduced to Eddie, but I will leave you find out about him another day. Just remember as long as you love Iron Maiden you have nothing to fear from Eddie. Everyone else on the other hand ......... (Evil Laugh!!!)🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you think "classic" heavy metal Iron Maiden is the definition. Arguably the most important band in metal history. You're going to be blown away by Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner ;-)
We finally found metal that resonates with her, quick go do run to the hills before she changes her mind.
Maiden is amazing!
The song is about the Charge of the Light Brigade, Brits in the Crimea, with the riff you feel the running charging horse under you as plunge into "certain death" one of my all time favorite Maiden songs as Veteran Cavalry Trooper. Keep up the great work I love watching your reaction vids. God Bless.
Stranger In a Strange Land, Wasted Years, Run To The Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name are some of my favorites of theirs. They are incredible.
This is the REAL Heavy Metal, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden are the best example for me.
Black Sabbath sits in the shadows laughing under their breath ominously.
Led Zeppelin IS NOT HEAVY METAL .. AT ALL EVER. They are classic rock.
Les zeppelin? 😬 not metal
They are not a metal band zeppelin also
Skipped school in 84 to see them at the Orange show in San Bernardino. Haven’t missed a tour since. See all you Killers , Back in the village.
It’s simply a historical song about a soldier in the Crimean War of 1853-1856.
Yeahhhh
🤘😎
more specifically its about the charge of the light brigade, if you listen closely you will hear the music timing resembles horses galloping
Sad fact about the Charge of the LIght Brigade (light horsemen with long lances like ancient knights); They were given a fucked up orders to charge their horses at a Russian position that was all canons, and well defended. They knew it was a suicide mission,but orders are orders and cowardice is not an option.
That’s the line about “The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath, as we plunge them into certain death!”
@@OaktownPirate510 the order was to charge the russian troops stealing the guns from little ridout but Nolan was unclear and they charged the wrong hill
As american, you have to listen to "Run to the hills".
Yeah, and then take it with a grain of salt. The history of the American west is a little more complicated than a bunch of historically inaccurate stereotypes thrown together by a British metal band, even if it is the greatest British metal band of all time.
Did the "native Americans" enslave and slaughter eachother? It's happened throughout history all over the world.
Honey, those are African Americans. They understand better than you do.
@@auntieevil9324 that's a dumb comment . 1st these kids weren't around to know slavery . and unless you're 165 or older neither do you. You do know blacks weren't the only people to be slaves? Whites , asians , middle Easterners . didn't matter if you're a red head , blonde or black haired .every skin tone at one point had been a slave somewhere on earth. . so tired of this game of only blacks would know. We all do
@@mr.e8432 that song isn’t about colonizing the west though, it’s about Native American genocide. “Taking it with a grain of salt” means acknowledging that white Europeans came to America and killed 20 million native Americans in the name of “manifest destiny”, white supremacy, and colonial imperialism. Fixating on “historically inaccurate stereotypes” is simply whitewashing the entire point of this song
Bruce came from Samson & I blew a gasket when he took over singing with Maiden. One of the greatest happenings of the Metal Age.
This song is from my favorite Maiden album still to this day, "Piece of Mind" which I learned to play on bass from top to bottom...yes, every song! My best friend from those days still reminds me of that time when a couple of guys (a drummer and guitar player) from my high school heard I was a player and they found out where I lived and showed up on our doorstep to introduce themselves in order to ask me to join a band they were putting together - he told me afterwards that he looked out my bedroom window and saw both of them rocking out in my front yard during this song, then they eventually rang the doorbell... Steve Harris is a beast on the 4-string!!!
My favourite album also. Still Life is one of my favourite songs, not only Iron maiden, but all songs. I love To Tame a Land also, the story of Dune.
Hi, the vocalist is Bruce Dickinson and the song is about The Charge Of The Light Brigade at The Battle Of Balaclava in 1854, which was during The Crimean War.
Maiden is famous for the “gallop” in the guitar playing. They’re frickin awesome. Seen them so many times I can’t remember.
And Eddie is the coolest.
I'm so glad I got a chance to see Maiden way back in the day!
For 30 years those guys never stopped. They took live arena shows to a new level with talent far above the average. Saw them in the late 80's in Detroit and blew my mind.
Iron Maiden is one of the greatest Metal bands of all time!
This is the song I show people when they ask me, “What is heavy metal music?”, it’s the most
Metal song.......with harmony.......ever written.
The singer, Bruce Dickinson is an amazingly talented artist
I can't comprehend how you have never heard of Iron Maiden! It blows my mind.
When reacting to Iron Maiden, you really should watch live videos. Their 10foot tall mascot called Eddie is so cool.
You are seeing Eddie on the album cover in this video but he's ALWAYS on stage with them.
The Battle of Balaclava, I’m pretty sure it’s the battle Alfred Tennyson wrote The Charge of the Light Brigade about.
Up the Irons greetings From Asunción Paraguay
It was soooo much seeing them live!!
The live versions are even better. One of the best live bands over the last 40 years
It's based on the charge of the light brigade who went in on horse back which is why the bass line is like a running horse.
The Trooper was the first Iron Maiden song I ever heard as well!
One of the largest touring musical acts ever.
Not sure how old you two are but I'm sure must have noticed how much better the vocalists on these older tunes are. They didn't rely on auto-tune. They had to actually nail it.
And they did. Bruce ftw
Largest and *loudest*
When they came to Tampa in '97, the stadium they played in suffered structural damage from the sound pressure. They were the last event at that stadium before it was demo'd, so they *literally brought the place down.
Corey taylor, ronnie radke, maynard, chester bennignton, lizzy hale.... idk man... im worried you are confusing nostalgia for a an unbiased assessment of talent and skill.
That voice is called: "The human air raid siren" :o)!
I absolutely loved how both of your heads went back in surprise when the vocals came out and you two looked at each other with raised eyebrows and big smiles. Bruce Dickinson is the singer. Very talented besides being a singer, he fences, he’s a pilot, he’s a scholar.
This band has always had 2 guitarists and sometimes even 3. The bassist Steve Harris is one of the Top 3 Bassists of All Time. The drummer is amazing as well.
Check out the songs Run To The Hills, The Number Of The Beast, Revelations, Aces High, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Wasted Years, Can I Play With Madness, Fear Of The Dark live in Chile’ I believe. Thanks guys.
Love you both and your reactions. Keep on cranking them out.
80's Metal at it's finest!
My favorite Iron Maiden songs in order: Wasted Years, The Trooper, Run to the Hills, Hallowed by thy Name and 2 Minutes to Midnight.
Pretty basic
Can’t forget aces high
That's definitely a basic favorite list, my personal favorites are The Trooper, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Thin Line Between Love and Hate, and For the Greater Good of God.
Mine are
When the wild wind blows
Fear of the Dark
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
Mine to
Iron Maiden is good for the gym. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Truth!!!! Try benching to this tune. You will find yourself lifting to the beat. You cannot help yourself. And the adrenaline flowing. Best workout of your life.
Agreed! They’re absolutely on the running playlist!
love iron maiden grew up listening to it my brother constantly played their songs i just got hooked hearing it all-day huge fan now bruce Dickinson what a voice amazing live shows
Iron Maiden has been killing it since the 80's. Triple guitar attack! Saw them on tour this year. Bruce sounds exactly the same and they are all running around the stage non-stop. They are in their 60s and still rock harder than bands in their 20s. Catch them live if you can!
I can't help but watch people react to Iron Maiden. Love watching their eyes.
One of the BEST live shows you could have ever seen, Bruce Dickerson (the lead singer) is a highly intelligent man and historian AND had his commercial pilots license and flys the band from show to show on the bands 747...
Agreed! Best live show I’ve seen!
I've been rocking with them since I was 14 yrs old man...... They are very talented and their music always has a message. Much love for giving them a chance and seeing what real music is all about- Bruce Dickson is a massive voice that can take you on a journey man
likewise UP THE IRONS!!!
Next maiden song could be “ rime of the ancient mariener” another song based on a poem.
YESSSS!!! I saw the iconic image of Eddie wielding a sword in one hand and the British flag in the other , never clicked so fast in my life!! SO glad you reacted to Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson is one of the best metal singers, (he's tied for me with Ronnie James Dio). More Maiden please, up the Irons!!! This song is based on the Crimean War. Now you HAVE to do Hallowed Be Thy Name Live 1982!!!
Every Iron Maiden song is a history lesson.... Gotta love it
Not only do you get great music but also a history lesson! Up the Irons!
I love that you come into these songs without research and a completely blank slate. That way you evaluate the song purely on the song!
Iron Maiden often has this "galloping" rhythm in their music which is mostly Steve Harris' bass since he's probably the best at it of his generation. The band is 40 years old so there's a lot to uncover. Like most bands that last this long, their best music was from their beginning in the 80s and 90s. I'm not crazy about their albums past the 2000s personally. You should react to Wasted Years, Aces High, Hallowed be Thy Name (live), or Fear of the Dark (live in Rio)
i always thought the bass gallop was especially appropriate here, really drives the cavalry charge imagery.
Wasted Years is a perfect follow-up!
Maiden were going over 50years ago fella. My dad used to watch them playing pubs in East London before I was born (71)
@@JWilks-lk7th Iron Maiden was formed on Dec 25th, 1975.
@@wesbates1143 I stand corrected . Or my old man's full of shit 🤣. He did say they were under a different name then though. I'll ask my younger brother ,he knows Steve .
Bruce Dickinson is the very definition of a Renaissance Man. His talents are many, finely honed, and ridiculously unique.
Rob Squad you guys are sooo cool :) thanks for listening to one of my favorite bands :)
Not only are you getting a great show from Iron Maiden, you’re also getting a history lesson.
Wait until you hear "Hallowed be thy name" and "The Number of the Beast" to name two of many songs.
I've had the pleasure of seeing them perform this song live and it's literally the best moment of my life.
Much love from the UK. Big Iron Maiden fan here and long haired rocker, this reaction video brought me to your channel and in 2 days I think i have gone through majority of your reaction videos. You're such an infectious couple, from Jay's passion to Amber's welcoming angelic smile. Totally dig you guys. Check out Iron Maiden's "Running Free" and "Ace's High"
Iron Maiden is like the Metal version of opera. Enjoy, it grows on you, I wasn't a fan when I was younger, now they're one of my favorite bands.
Your next Iron Maiden reaction video needs to be "Wasted Years"...and the art creature or monster if you will, is their mascot named 'Eddie"
EDDIE FOREVER!!!!! Love that fucker.
Maiden are legends, great on record but amazing live.
So in that respect i suggest picking live performances as much as possible when it comes to this band :)
There are so many songs to suggest, Hallowed be thy name, Alexander the Great, 22 Acacia Avenue, Aces High, Run to the hills, Powerslave.... the list is endless, and thats no joke.
Enjoy the journey of Iron Maiden :)
So many wonderful songs by Iron Maiden. Run to the Hills is one of my favorites.
Bruce Dickinson is the lead singer, and has a commercial pilot’s rating. In 2008 he flew their own 757 (named Ed Force One) for 50,000 miles to 13 counties in 45 days to perform 23 shows for a half million fans. That included India, Australia, North and South America. People from Costa Rica got to see them, some also quit their jobs and traveled to see the Rio concert too! The place was packed beyond belief! Maiden is a world renowned band! Ed is the skeleton looking dude on all their album covers and the band’s mascot.
You started with a really great song of theirs. I'm personally an old school Iron Maiden fan. Not as much of a fan of their later stuff, but regardless where you go with them, you must hear "Phantom of the Opera."
The great thing about this band every song has a story about it. Aces High is my favorite. And it is about the Battle of Britan.
Yes yes another awesome awesome song
Glad to see you guys like it. It gets better every time
I'm so happy seeing people open their minds to different genres of music my whole childhood has been and still is rock and roll and classic rap and I'm slowly opening up to other genres keep up the vids guys
What a way for you to experience GREATNESS...by far their greatest song. Just close your eyes and point at the collection. Iron Maiden IS an experience. Enjoy every second from the beginning to the latest...
Congrats, you just discovered the best band in the world. UP THE IRONS!
UP THE IRONS
🤘🤘
UP THE IRONS!
And the damn heavy brigade should've followed them in.
Iron maiden dio and metallica.. all for different reasons but cant seperate them
That was an outstanding reaction!! I'm an Iron maiden fan since 1982. Congrats! Welcome to metal world!! Salute You!!
My ALWAYS AND FOREVER FAVORITE BAND...... LOVE THE REACTION
I'm so happy you guys did an Iron Maiden video! I grew up on Maiden, seen them live 3× and each time was a whole other experience from the last. I can definitely attribute their music to my love of history, mythology, poetry and literature. Their stage preference is spectacular, lead singer Bruce Dickinson said in an interview once that you have to make the person all the way at the back of the arena feel as if they are in the front row and they certainly do! I also have to highly suggest Alice Cooper for another video "Billion Dollar Babies".
i'm kinda the same as well,on several occasion i've been asked what college/university i'm from and you should see the look on their faces when i tell them i only have a grade six education and get that from listening to maiden!!up the the irons!!
You can not react to Iron Maiden without doing the seminal *_"Hallowed be thy Name"_* Live 1982.Without bias, it's considered one of the greatest Heavy Metal songs of all time! it strongly influenced later developments in the genre.
This is my Favorite Maiden song. Thank you, you crazy kids!
bruce dickinson was made the loudest voice in the 1982 Guinness book of records at 108 decibels. that is louder than a jet engine. My ears rang for 5 days after i saw the concert in 1983.
This was at a time when metal singers had to actually sing not just growl and scream incoherently at max volume. Bruce Dickenson was a very good singer and frontman for Maiden. I saw them many times in concert and was never disappointed. Great band.
ain't nothing wrong with growling.. technically speaking scream signing and screaming - growling is way harder
@@feedback791 agreed
100% about the singing part. Bruce Is a great singer even when he is screaming he is great! Madien is a very very good band. Bruce has one of the best voices ever in my opinion! Its very recognizable
@@feedback791 Sure, if you want every band to sound the same growling incoherently is perfect. Plus, you never have to write any lyrics because no one could understand a single word anyway... perfect for talentless front men who literally CANT sing.
@@Spiritbro77 thats literally so wrong..You clearly havent heard any metalcore or deathcore..Technically speaking, engaging your false cords and growl is somethigg really really hard..Its not ''just screaming'' and it takes years of practice, just like regular singing, but most musicians say screaming and growiling is harder..Also idk about you but i can listen to the lyrics just fine, you must be deaf lol
Try " Fear of the dark " and " Rhyme of the ancient mariner."
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (Flight 666 live version)
My faves
Fear Of The Dark (Live from Rio).
Hallowed by thy name, Run to the hills, Seventh Son, Sooooo many more. Iron Maiden is history set to rock
My favorite band growing up! Still love them today! Love seeing you enjoy 80s metal!
Congratulations on discovering one of the most influential bands in metal history. Iron Maiden is to metal what the HMS Dreadnought is to battleships. They didn't invent metal, they reinvented it. Many catalog metal as pre-Maiden and post-Maiden. Enjoy the ride!
Child of that era, this was near the top for tracks in the car when running behind & playing catch-up on the road.
Saw this song played live when I was 16 and can't get enough!
The duel guitarist and the Bass!!! Listen to the complexity of the base and how it blends with the two lead guitarist. So awesome.
oh you have came across the history teachers of metal bit of advice always always listen to them live even better than studio !!!!!! hope you do more xx
If there was an actual video you’d be even more surprised by his powerful voice. Bruce is tiny 😃
Based on what? Swedish height? ;) By American standards, Bruce is average at 5 ft 6 in.
@@Katzztar Does that average include women and children? What American standards?? 😆 South American, maybe.
@@matehavlik4559 First off, oaky I may slight off, but still hold that Bruce is not TINY ... that is my dad! lol
Trust me, I know what it takes to be tiny in the USA, ... I am 4'10" ... yes that's FOUR feet, ten inches. ;)
You want a tiny male, try 5 ft 3 in, that's my dad. And at that hieght, 3 more inches is a lot taller.
The average male in the USA USED to range from 5'5" to 5' 9" (this is from 1980s when I was a teen.) It took being 5'10" and above to be considered tall, and under 5'5" in to be considered short.
Either the height changed or better info since they've changed it since then when I googled it. In the US they now go by ethincity often. If you go to the Wikia, it shows by such .
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_human_height_by_country
Seems now instead of a range of height they give one number for the average. and in the US and UK it's 5ft 9in,
But I still hold that 5'6" is not short. It's the shorter side of the a range but would not be classed as undersized by drs. the way my dad was.
Interestingly... this is exactly what it sounds like in concert. Absurd amount of talent!
I can remember those comments about the 6 !!! young men with long hair sitting in the cellar, moving small figurins over a table (pen&paper roleplaying game, I think it was early D&D or something) and listening to evil metal music (Iron Maiden). Maiden was really influencing my youth and school time, it was awesome back in those days. That was in the early 80s... it`s centuries ago and still I love Maiden. Next year I will see them live again.
