NO!NO!NO!Why in God's name didn't you do the Rock in Rio version???Or the Flight 666 version?Or ANY live version for that matter??This must the best live song ever conceived by humanity!!!
That's why I love love love fan footage of shows. I know people hate shaky fan vids but they imo are much more fun to view if the sound|video is decent. You get more of the feeling of the show you're watching
Ya I got to experience it live and see the Fear tour when that came out, but for my experience there was more energy and singing from the crowd on the 7th Son tour.
What about all the "should have did" that I hear more and more frequently in the last few years? Is that a new cool slang or doesn't nobody know grammar anymore?
The only good part about the live version is the crowd singing along other than that, the quality of studio tracks always sound better than the quality of live tracks. 🤷♂️
Studio version is definitely better,,, live is like throwing themselves at the instruments with mediocre solos and tempo , its not really comparable too be honest lol
There's a haunting acoustic version of The Trooper on youtube, made by a fan. Check out Trooper acoustic. It's awesome. Ryan Adams does an acoustic vetsion of Wasted Years that's alright, too.
Glad you like the song, however... You do so many reactions to live performances and ONE TIME you are specifically asked for a live version...! I feel like you're trolling your fans.
@@monicajean37 That surely is a possibility & not a far-fetched accusation. Considering all of the evidence in numerous videos, I believe that there is validity to what you say.

as everyone is saying should have done the live version, from rock in rio or flight 666 would have been awesome, this song was most definitely meant for a live setting, when so many people are saying should have done the live version there's a very good reason for that, i can imagine a lot of people face palming lol
I was like No.... Oh God no... No, this isn't happening... I personally didn't like the studio version at all... Bruce's voice was so cringy in it... As if he had a sour throat or something...
I know you never do that, but this time I think you should do another reaction with the live version. Let me explain, is not any live version, is one of the most beautiful version of any live version not only from metal but from rock music history
Should have listened to the live version.... Far FAAAAAR better... I know you've never done this, but, please please Re-react to this song's LIVE version... Pleeeeeaaase....
As much as I love the studio version, this is just about Maiden's best live song. Especially at Rock in Rio 2001. Do yourselves a favor and catch them live this year! Please?
You can go to a lot of concerts in your life .. but you will never experience anything like Iron Maiden .... I went and I was there from like 6 in the morning to midnight pass 1 am .. I was dead tired and if I was asked to do everything all over again right after ... No doubt about it I would’ve gone back .. and I think everyone there would’ve done the same thing .. 1 time when I saw them they played everything from Seventh Son and more .. what a great show 🙌🏻
Oh gutted it’s not the live version, song has a completely different feel with the crowd singing along, may be the 1st time I preferred live over studio, never mind, thanks guys anyways for doing this song.
LMAO !!! YOU SHOULD’VE DONE THE LIVE IN RIO VERSION - AS SOON AS I SAW THE ALERT I KNEW YOU LISTENED TO THE ALBUM VERSION !!! Check it out on your own time - It’s magnificent !!!!
This is one of those songs that I only ever listen to in the live version, the crowd fills the voids with immense power that the original version is lacking.
Good Sori, did you know that "Fear of the dark" is an important appointment and you've put on makeup! ;-) For me you are beautiful even without! Vin, you're a lucky man! I always follow you, you are great! Greetings from Italy
Please, do King Diamond - "Abigail" full album reaction/review. It's a great horror story you've to finish and hear from beginning to end. Their "Songs for the Dead Live" DVD/Bluray will be available January 25th. It contains the "Abigial" album in its entirety. As a matter of fact twice; two different live performances (Philadelphia's Fillmore 2015 and Graspop Metal Meeting 2016) that showcases how good and theatrical they're live. King is 62, but still hits those high-pitched falsetto notes he's known for. For a preview, you can check out video: King Diamond "Sleepless Nights (Live at The Fillmore)" (OFFICIAL). It's off "Conspiracy" album, so no worries 😉 If you’ve a chance, please go and see the release party. That would make an awesome video!

I have a very good memory connected to this. I was 17, we went to a little holiday house in the woods with my friends. The guy who owned the house had huge loudspeakers with a volume that shattered the house. As the neighbors were too far away to disturb them, we took this Iron Maiden record, turned the volume up and enjoyed it :) It was a very nice experience, a very nice time
The live from Rio is awesome because it's more recent,and the crowd is so into the song.still,this is Bruce at his best vocally.Iron Maiden,always awesome.
Really happy you guys finally did this. This is a big one for Iron Maiden. One thing though. Out of all of the reactions you've done to live performances, this is the best live performance I've ever seen it. You should really check out the video of them doing this in Brazil
*Singing along to those riffs in between* :D Mmmmmmm, the live version is such an experience though, must be said! Please, please do: Insomnium "The River" or "Lay of The Autumn" (much good lyrical content!), and Dark Tranquility "ThereIn"
"Steve is really afraid of the dark. It's the story of a man who walks in a park at night and, as it's getting darker, he sees all sorts of worrying things. He becomes totally paranoid because his imagination is working overtime. It's a great track." - Bruce Dickinson
Not one of my favorite songs by them, but I love that nostalgic feeling I get everytime I hear Bruce's voice. My middle school and Jr High years were full of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Still waiting for that Backwordz reaction video ;) Keep up the great work. Ignore those haters who say you are just in it for the money. Those people don't understand the work that goes into a RUclips channel before you ever see a dime.
Guys, this was an amazing choice. And yes, as everyone says, you should have DEFINETELY done the live version. It's not just something that we like... the studio version isn't much. It's just a 'meh' song. Cool, but no more than that. It's their most incredible live song. Everyone said it: Fear of the Dark, live in 'Rock in Rio' (2001) or my favorite, live in Buenos Aires at 'Flight 666' (I think it was 2008). And I know it goes completely away from what you usually do... but the live version REALLY deserves a second reaction. I want to see your faces when you heard and see this same song live, after you heard it in studio version. I'm sure 100% people here would agree. Cheers!
Great Reaction :) This song is what made me start playing the guitar and what got me so mesmerized by music! So this song is basically the reason for all the magic i have gotten to experience through music and all the people i have met through out the years. It has a very special place in my heart.
Thnks for doing more great maiden. Love it man. They do all live versions all the time. It was great live but it stands on it own as well UP THE IRONS.

This is a great tune that stands the test of time. This is new maiden to me but its 25 years old now, holy. I slept on this album as a kid, seemed too mainstream for us but childhoods end is now one of my favorite maiden songs, check it out if get the chance. Well said btw about not having the necessary tools to scientifically examine the paranormal
@@peeweewallabowski7084 I am with you. They really need to react to Helloween's Keeper Of The Seven Keys song. Make sure to mention the original 1988 studio version. I love the live version that has Andi Deris singing on it also, but Michael Kiske's singing is amazing on the original studio version. Anything off of Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1and Part 2 is amazing. I still can't believe that Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen are back in Helloween after so many years being gone.
I’m in agreement with Sori on this. I was afraid inside a building in the dark, but was never afraid outside in the dark. It’s not the same as simply being afraid of the dark. I loved the dark. 🖤
If nothing elsee it gave me a chance to see if I remember how to play this.The solo is gone, but all the harmonies and chords are still there. Must be at least 15 years since I last played this.
Me and a mate were walking in the middle of the night down a dark back street listing to this song, we both happened to turn around after the line " you find it hard to look again because your sure theres someone there" and there was actually a dude right behind us! we both jumped out of our skin but he turned out to be a nice guy and we all had a good laugh.
The one time you should've listened to the live version you didn't... :'(
I KNOW RIGHT
This is a hell of a live sing-along! 👍

Unbelievable xD

Even listening to the studio version, I still hear the Rio crowd in my head
@@latetothegame7145 same, kinda weird eh?
The Death on the Road version is the superior imo due to better production

NO!NO!NO!Why in God's name didn't you do the Rock in Rio version???Or the Flight 666 version?Or ANY live version for that matter??This must the best live song ever conceived by humanity!!!
Why does nobody ever recommend the Flight 666 version???? It's better than the Rock in Rio one!
@@opticFPV Agreed
@@opticFPV Watched them both again yesterday.It is incredible,you're right.I wish they did a full Flight 666 reaction at some point.
Flight 666 is better. But the evil laugh that Bruce does on Rock in Rio gives me goose bumps every time
@@opticFPV Not really.... Rock in Rio version was better... And Rock in Rio 2001 is arguably the greatest Maiden show of all time...
Should've done a live version, people sing the opening, there's nothing comparable to experiencing that in person.
That's why I love love love fan footage of shows. I know people hate shaky fan vids but they imo are much more fun to view if the sound|video is decent. You get more of the feeling of the show you're watching
@@The_Pony check out the old beastie boys thing from msg. Think it called I shot that
Ya I got to experience it live and see the Fear tour when that came out,
but for my experience there was more energy and singing from the crowd
on the 7th Son tour.
Nothing against people singing the opening. I like the singers voice more however
Should have did the live version from rio
OMG, now I was expecting the live version. And it didn'n happen.
They never react to the best videos 🤣
Jefferson pelo Mundo hahahahaha they should ask the fans first what version to use
What about all the "should have did" that I hear more and more frequently in the last few years? Is that a new cool slang or doesn't nobody know grammar anymore?
That was no doubt the best live performance I've ever seen
Should've done the live version :(...
The song is actually about the bass player Steve Harris's phobia.
Same with "Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger".
Cool, didn't know that
Omg finally did it and fail completely by not doing the live version rock in rio.... please delete video and try again lol
The live version is better.
No. Fanats sounds in intro so weird
No
You have to revisit this song and check out a live version. A massive audience singing the guitar lines is an incredible thing to hear.
The live Rock in Rio version deserves its own reaction
No when they haven't heard it before live is just not the way to go.
@@Rebel-cd6gc not with iron maiden. The live shows are somehow better🤷♂️

Should have done the live version from Brazil
the live version of this is better. crowd singing along makes it epic.
after the live version of the fear of the dark i couldn't listen to the studio version anymore
Same. The studio version is a mediocre song compared to the live version
Who can?
The only good part about the live version is the crowd singing along other than that, the quality of studio tracks always sound better than the quality of live tracks. 🤷♂️

@@almahperditae I can
Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death

Fuck yeah bro
Now do the Live version. Well worth the watch.
You still need to do Infinite Dreams. It's a top 5 Maiden tune for me and will generate a great discussion...at least I think so.
The live version from Rio will amaze you...thousands of people singing the guitar riff.
Nooo! Why didn't you do the Rock in Rio version?????
Why?? Why ???? Why ?????? Why ?????????
Why not the live version ??????
Alongbar Narzary I think they do it on purpose to piss us off.
Jason....then they are doing it right....😤
Why?.....why?.....why you didnt pick the live version??...why???
As everyone said, you should do the live version. Rock. In Rio. It's worth another video, trust me. The crowd reaction is unbelievable.
where's the live version, my guy??????????
came highly dissapointed, but anyway...
I was hoping for the live version.... Maiden are so good live..... You need to do The Trooper live in Santiago.
There's a haunting acoustic version of The Trooper on youtube, made by a fan. Check out Trooper acoustic. It's awesome.
Ryan Adams does an acoustic vetsion of Wasted Years that's alright, too.

Iron maiden - Phantom of the Opera with Paul, something different from bruce, you need to hear the early days of maiden

mario luna could hear punk influences in their earlier stuff. It’s good.
