Iron Maiden for 24 years had 2 guitarists. But starting in 1999, with the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith to the band, they began to have 3 guitarists. Dave Murray (who plays the intro, the first solo and the one at the end), Janick Gers, who replaced Adrian Smith and in this video has camouflage pants (he is the one who plays the second solo) and Adrian Smith himself, in my opinion, the best guitarist Maiden has ever had.
Janick was a really good friend of all the members of the band before he joined. When Adrian returned, they didn't have the heart to kick him out. If you watch Maiden's concerts now, Janick doesn't actually play much. He runs onstage and throws his guitar around a lot, but he does do much actual playing.
bruce just did a live show in l.a. the mandrake project live in santa ana and livr at the whisky a go go. small club. there he was in full cry and also playing the drums and theramin. did the whisky secret show, sold tickets to fans. thought it would be fun.
@@nem447 yes, for Sure. He was younger and he went through a difficult time with cancer. I learned many words in English with Iron maiden lyrics. Great Rock band. 💛💛
Just a personal belief: everyone MUST listen to one Maiden song before turning 18. Maybe make it a part of getting your driver's license? I don't care how, just make it happen.
Actually, Steve Harris formed Iron Maiden, which is an English🏴band on the 25th of December 1975(Xmas;), as his former band told him his music was too hard(listen to Phantom of the Opera;) Which he wrote, but the band said,...yeah,...nah, too difficult buddy😂🤣 Iron Maiden was born. Up the mighty Irons🤘🤘
We are loyal, because Maiden has earned it, over and over again, and we love our brothers and sisters. The best example of it I have actually seen is after a Slayer concert in the 90's though where on the train ride home a little group of asswipes were harassing a young woman and the whole train car stood up and, umm, "put them in their place" before strongly suggesting they get off at the next stop. What people don't understand is that metal, all that supposed rage and anger is really, deep down a love of humanity and wanting it to be better. Or a passion for good stories :)
Ah, yes, "Fear of the dark" ... if you haven't heard that one, you're gonna like it. It was released in 1992, just when classic heavy metal was beginning to get - thankfully only temporarily - shunned from the public eye, on Iron Maiden's ninth studio album of the same name. The song was never even released a single, though a live version got some MTV traction the following year. But its status has just continued to grow over the years. Iron Maiden have been tremendously successful in drawing in every new generation to their fanbase, and those younger fans thorougly promoted "Fear of the dark" to be, not only ONE of the band's most popular song. In fact, it can be argued, that at this point it has become the band's SIGNATURE song, dethroning the 1982 song "Run to the hills". That's how insanely popular that song has become, and for good reason. It's another slice of bombastic, singalong, Steve Harris genius, very much like "Hallowed be thy name" in fact.
If you light complicated music (Progressive?), Iron Maiden just made in 2016 the longest song of their career. "Empire of The Cloud" from the album "Book of Souls". It's actually majestic, near to progressive rock, with also classical instruments. In top of that, the story is a fantastic narration of an historic event, and as you've seen here Bruce is a fantastic storyteller. (Sadly they never played "Empire of the clouds" live)
REACT TO IRON MAIDEN THE SONGS 'FEAR OF THE DARK LIVE IN CHILE, DANCE OF DEATH LIVE IN CHILE, THE CLANSMAN LIVE IN RIO,THE TROOPER LIVE IN CHILE ' 🎸🤘🎵🇪🇦
The lyrics is great. It reflects every ones life. We are all in a death roll. But every one can say " hallowed be thy name" and face the truth. Just as the thief on the Cross. God saves us . ❤
Yes!!! They are still touring, they’re coming to San Diego, CA., this fall, am going with my daughter! You need to watch, Rime of the Ancient Mariner 🖤🖤🖤
BTW, try listening to some of Bruce's solo stuff (Tears Of The Dragon, Trumpets of Jericho, Jerusalem, Chemical Wedding, Accident of Birth, The Tower, etc.... He has done some amazing stuff solo 😊
My first ever big concert experience was Iron Maiden and Give Me Ed... 'Til I'm Dead Tour. Like biggest gig so far was some backcountry festival with few houndred people so drunk they didnt even know who was playing. Then came Iron Maiden. Straight to the deep end. 12 000 people in small hockey arena. I was in some other universe for 1,5 hours. And afraid of the arena collapsing because people were jumping and stomping so hard the whole building was literally shaking. I was walking home and thinking now i have seen everything and same time totally empty and not knowing what just happened.
'Afraid to shoot strangers', since we're talking about getting carried away by guitars 😃 i think it's my iron maiden personal favourite also 'fear of the dark' and 'running free' are great, and of course 'phantom of the opera' (not the lloyd webber > nightwish one, which we all love and cherish, a lucky omoniminity between different kinds of grandeur)
As a 56 years old Metalhead like me with still long hair is that normal Music ,ok my start as a Metalhead was 1980 with 13 years , all Member of Maiden are 2024 older than 65 years and the Drummer Nicko is over 70 years old
Alanah welcome to the awesome Iron Maiden band, I want to suggest you a phenomenal song by Maiden: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Live) You will love it, as every song you hear by the band. Up the Irons!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
6:50 there is also another liver version .. 1983 with 2 guiitarists and instead of Nicko it has the criminally underrated Clive Burr on drums. But be a fun one to react to and compare Bruce from then to this video ;)
@@remcohoman1011 You mean '82. Nico was recruited in '83. And, yeah, Mr. Burr was a great drummer, his style fit perfectly in the band,I kinda prefer him over Nico. He's a very funny and likable guy, though.
now you know why his manager called him the human air raid siren. actually when he joined the band a fan wrote to a mag saying the band had awful music and the singer sounded like as human air raid siren. which the manager played up. the bass started the band. dave joined later. when another left he suggested his school pal and neighbor adrian. when adrian left for a time jannick, who was a neighborm of bruce who had played on the tattooed millionair tour was suggested. then when adrian came back they kept jannick.
check them out 2016 the red and the black live chapter. the first tour after bruce got throat cancer and was cured and now they are back. bruce still flying ed force 1 and singing. try the clansman live rock in rio,
The three guitarist thing started in 2002 , because in 1990 Adrian Smith left (2nd guitarist), then in 1993 Bruce (singer) left, and a few years later they rejoined but decided to keep Janick (3rd guitarist) and have 3 guitars. Not sure if any metal or rock band ever officially had 3 guitarists as fixed part of the band. You should definitely do "fear of the Dark" from this concert. And for a more complex song I suggest "ghost of the navigator" also from this concert. Also, "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" from their flight 666 frottage your on a good way 😛 oh, and "journeyman" from "Death in the road" for one of the very few ballads as well as "Paschendale" from that concert, which is again a complex song with a lot of thatrics
True, but only Steve Harris (bass and band leader) is still in the band from back then. First album was released 1980, but the line-up changed a bit those first couple of years in the 80's as well.
Good react guys 👍 Recomended for you guys....come react 3girls hijab rock metal band from imdonesia VoB (Voice of baceprot) : god,allow me please to play music. These good band n amazing talentted 3ladies,good liryc in the music,waiting for you guys 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Their 80's live stuff is way better. Nobody reacts to any Live after Death...why?? It is infinitely better than anything after 1990. It's more cabaret nowadays...cringy,even.
Oh boy. When you're wrong, you're wrong! Well, not about "Live after death" being good of course ... But if you seriously can't anything of value in any Iron Maiden output for the last 34 years, I start to wonder if we've been listening to the same Iron Maiden. "Fear of the dark" happens to be one of their greatest albums ever, to name but one obvious example.
Also try giving Beast Over Hammersmith a try if you want to sample an 80s live performance. Even try a re-listen to Hallowed Be Thy Name from this performance for comparison. Bruce’s vocals are just amazing!
They're still touring in 2024, but Bruce has lost a bit of his vocal range and stamina after surviving throat cancer, and lost his (numerous) piloting licences since he reached the age limit ...
The cons. You know the song… why pause it right on the transition ? At least back Up a bit. A simple search would’ve showed you There are probably 15 better live versions of this song. The audio in this is not that good. The pros. Good convo about the band. Not to Many pause. It’s the best song to someone to Introduce. Fear of the dark is a good song. But there’s so Many better songs to do. Find killers with Paul Diano as singer. Just do the studio version. It’s hard to find a good Live performance. And it’s how we all Heard the song for the first time.
Maiden is on top of Metal Mountain for a reason
1982 hammersmith is by far the best version!!!!
Iron Maiden for 24 years had 2 guitarists. But starting in 1999, with the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith to the band, they began to have 3 guitarists. Dave Murray (who plays the intro, the first solo and the one at the end), Janick Gers, who replaced Adrian Smith and in this video has camouflage pants (he is the one who plays the second solo) and Adrian Smith himself, in my opinion, the best guitarist Maiden has ever had.
Agreed. Adrian deserves a lot more credit for sure. Awesome guitarist, composer, backing vocalist and a band member
Janick was a really good friend of all the members of the band before he joined.
When Adrian returned, they didn't have the heart to kick him out.
If you watch Maiden's concerts now, Janick doesn't actually play much.
He runs onstage and throws his guitar around a lot, but he does do much actual playing.
This guy fawks
@riffgroove Mate, his song writing is mental, too🤯

No one out rocks The Maiden ! - Fear of the dark - Chile , is a must, different level !
The OG of operatic metal. Iron Maiden even has a song called 'Phantom of the Opera'.
And it’s before the known musical
Still prefer the 1982 version from the Odeon Hammersmith...
My favourite version is the one from En Vivo.
@@nem447 yes, for Sure. He was younger and he went through a difficult time with cancer. I learned many words in English with Iron maiden lyrics. Great Rock band. 💛💛
THE BEST SONG OF IRON MAIDEN IS 'THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER'LIVE FLIGHT 666 AMAZING 🎸🎵🇪🇦
I have heard this song 1000's of times. I still get chills from Bruce's long notes.
The whole song 🎵 is chill worthy🤘
Me too, bro. Since 1984.

This Rio show was EPIC!!!
Iron Maiden is the GREATEST(live;)BAND in the world🤘🤘
I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE AND THE FACT ....STEVE HARRIS DID ALL THE EDITING....THE VIDEO
Yes. Best band ever.
Always do live versions of Maiden. Check out fear of the dark live in Chile

I see them live I grow up with heavy metal and still listen today I love
Epic, melodic, beautiful, soulful/emotional/sentimental, powerful, energetic, dynamic, dramatic, theatrical, and vigorous all at once as usual maiden
Saw them live less than two yrs ago. Still ridiculously good!!!! The energy is nuts, and the biker/hippy/metalhead fan base mix is so encouraging
We are loyal, because Maiden has earned it, over and over again, and we love our brothers and sisters.

Great Reaction! 🖤 Been going to their concerts since the 1980’s…. Up the Irons🖤🖤🖤🖤
They are so legendary, metal gods. I've never heard so many excellent songs from one band....they are the band to look up to
Very true, Brother🤘
I love Iron Maiden ❤.
One of the most iconic heavy metal songs. Up the Irons 🤘
They’re still going, newest album was 2021, touring again later this year. Bruce currently touring for his latest solo album.
Whatever you do....
DO it LIVE !!!
Live or studio they are superb +/-; because it’s real songwriting, playing, and performing
If you light complicated music (Progressive?), Iron Maiden just made in 2016 the longest song of their career.
"Empire of The Cloud" from the album "Book of Souls".
It's actually majestic, near to progressive rock, with also classical instruments.
In top of that, the story is a fantastic narration of an historic event, and as you've seen here Bruce is a fantastic storyteller.
(Sadly they never played "Empire of the clouds" live)
Up the Irons! 🤘🤘 If you get a chance to see them live, do it. I've seen them 6 times since 1983, and they do not disappoint.
THE GOATS of rock. 100%

The lyrics is great. It reflects every ones life. We are all in a death roll. But every one can say " hallowed be thy name" and face the truth. Just as the thief on the Cross. God saves us . ❤
The whole concert is a must but Bruce and Nicko were UNREAL in HBTN
Iron Maiden formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris
"Semantic battle"? Would that be "surmounting terror", by any chance? 🙂
They have Stranger in a strange land video that was released a number of months ago from their current tour.
MAIDEN IS LIFE!!! 🤘💀🤘
Yes!!! They are still touring, they’re coming to San Diego, CA., this fall, am going with my daughter! You need to watch, Rime of the Ancient Mariner 🖤🖤🖤
been a iron maiden fan for 30 yrs an they still the best hell yeah
There most recent album was released in 2020 and they are touring in the US this fall.
BTW, try listening to some of Bruce's solo stuff (Tears Of The Dragon, Trumpets of Jericho, Jerusalem, Chemical Wedding, Accident of Birth, The Tower, etc.... He has done some amazing stuff solo 😊
Yes🤗 Even his new album is top notch🤘 Took me a few listens, but after that, I fully embraced it😜

React: Fear of the dark rock in rio 2001
I saw them on this Tour! 2001 México City with Rob Halord and Queensryche open the show! Up the Irons!
'Afraid to shoot strangers', since we're talking about getting carried away by guitars 😃 i think it's my iron maiden personal favourite
also 'fear of the dark' and 'running free' are great, and of course 'phantom of the opera' (not the lloyd webber > nightwish one, which we all love and cherish, a lucky omoniminity between different kinds of grandeur)

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

You will love it, as every song you hear by the band.
Up the Irons!!

great reaction cheers, ye picked a good version too (not that there's any bad ones).
Three hours of show with 40 degrees C at this intensity.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
still touring in 2024 US canada and back to Chile....finishing in Europe being British makes sense.
Please react to The Talisman live! Best live Performance of Bruce ever!

Never seen them live?!? you are missing out on the best live band ever I'm up to my 20Th time already.
They are probably at the end of the tour there, his voice conditioning is unreal at this point
There is loving God...and Iron Maiden God wins 100% but close.
Also composer/ bassplayer Steve Harris is fan of Nightwish, drummer Nicko is friend of Kai Hahto....
Watch "Fear of the Dark " from Toronto live. I think it's a 2019 or 2021
They started in 1975 and they are touring in 2024.
Voted as the best of all time by Planet Rock.
1975
Thank you!
True, but only Steve Harris (bass and band leader) is still in the band from back then. First album was released 1980, but the line-up changed a bit those first couple of years in the 80's as well.
No one can replace Bruce, he can only be supplanted by meritocracy at best Halford aside
Up the Irons, best Song😊🤘
3 lead guitarist and a bass player who thinks he is as well. Doesn't get any better than this!
😂That "rock scream" is called "gritando" in professional music language .
The originals....and still the best
Your GF/Partner/friend never even noticed the note.
Hallowed be thy name a choir song? I feel for you,girl. Sad to hear about your restricted upbringing, but glad to hear you got free in your teens.
Yeah fuck the Toronto live this is the superior one lml

Yeah I believe the 1982 tour of this was way better it seems like they're going too fast in this concert
Fear of the dark is boring and weak in my opinion,,,iron maiden has more exciting tunes live,, especially early Maiden,,
Seriously, guys ... ´where did the bass go? You can't listen to Iron Maiden and not hear the mighty Steve Harris!
Well formed in 1975 so not quite an 80ies band
Thank you

Metallica is the best live band in The World.
The cons.
You know the song… why pause it right on the transition ? At least back
Up a bit.
A simple search would’ve showed you
There are probably 15 better live versions of this song. The audio in this is not that good.
The pros.
Good convo about the band.
Not to Many pause.
It’s the best song to someone to
Introduce.
Fear of the dark is a good song. But there’s so
Many better songs to do.
Find killers with Paul
Diano as singer. Just do the studio version. It’s hard to find a good
Live performance. And it’s how we all
Heard the song for the first time.
Thanks:)
...and the dong.
92 version way better
Musicisti moderni imparate come si suona
Not the best live version.
Nightwish wasn't on the list
Duh
This wasn't a list for bands we have reacted to silly
