"Who needs 3 guitarists" It's actually wholesome AF. They're the guitarists from different eras of the band, who always found their way home. Instead of rejecting them or booting someone, they just added more talent.
Melisa, you need to react to Queensrÿche. Geoff Tate much like Bruce Dickinson, is an incredible singer, with operatic vocals. I recommend their liver version in Japan of “Take Hold of the Flame.”
It also really helps when the band is playing live and they're playing songs that on older albums had rhythm guitar plus twin guitar harmonies. Now they can actually perform that a little closer to the album and not have to worry about the rhythm guitars dropping out during certain parts.
Bruce Dickinson is a truly amazing guy. Not only a fantastic vocalist and front man, but also a commercial airline pilot, a historian and novelist and an expert fencer. Truly a man of may talents. I would recommend "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". My personal all-time favourite Iron Maiden song, with lyrics based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem.
"All I remember was monks...in a cave..." ....'Can I Play with Madness' said every Maiden fan before you could finish. These guys are still as impressive on stage in their late 60's (Nicko McBrain (drums) is 70) as they were 40 years ago.
I just saw Iron Maiden (3rd time) last year and Bruce and the gang are still running around like the first time I saw them in 1982. They sound the same as back than too. Up the Irons.
Me too. Got to see them live front row on this last show. They haven't missed a beat and are all in their 60's now. They went crazy and we had a blast!
That Santiago crowd was on fire! I've seen Maiden about 10 times and there's always a sense of audience comradery. You get generation X, millennials, generation Z, all coming together for the highlight of their year. Everybody is just stoked to be there, bonding with random strangers over their love for Iron Maiden, knowing that this beautiful gift from the universe can't last forever.
Bruce is not only the best Iron Maiden singer, but arguably the best heavy metal singer of them all! My favorite song is: "Hallowed be thy name"; but other greats are: "The Trooper"; "Aces High" or "Sign of the Cross".
Maiden one of the best bands ever, their music, lyrics and energy are just legendary. Not even young bands have this energy. Fear of the dark is epic, the chilling lyrics, the temp change just fantastic
As for Maiden ... I saw them in the mid 90s on a metal festival in Denmark. And I thought by myself - MAN, these old dudes still rock it! Well, and a few decades later, they are still around! Dang! Live acts are always amazing.
In short form, Iron Maiden have 3 guitarists because one left the band in 1990 and Bruce brought in the guitarist from his solo projects. Then the original guy came back and the band didn't think it was right to kick anyone so just rolled with 3 guitarists going forward :)
I guess you’re right. I promise after releasing the next vid I will make an effort to listen to the solo and give my limited analysis. Just for the sake of being balanced 😊
Hi Melissa, greetings from the Netherlands. I really enjoy watching your reactions. I might have an interesting recommendation for you. Being a singer, you should definitely listen to Nightwish! They are a band from Finland and they’re top notch in the symphonic metal genre. Their Dutch singer, Floor Jansen has one of the best female voices in metal today. She's a master at conveying emotion through a song and her stage presence is unmistakable. Nightwish is very diverse, none of their songs are alike. There are epic and melodic songs, like the one I’m recommending now, but they can also go really heavy on you and the next song could be very celtic sounding or even jazzy. Their music is exceptionally well composed and arranged. The lyrics are very powerful and poetic, which leads to great storytelling. Nightwish is best appreciated LIVE. Give the song ‘Ghost Love Score’ a try. It was recorded at Wacken 2013, in front of 82 000 people. You might be surprised. ruclips.net/video/47e_961OQWE/видео.html
@@martine3293 Martine working hard as usual pimpin' the Valkrie Goddess. Melisa we metalheads call Bruce the Human Air raid siren. His yelling belts are legendary.
The highlight from this show (En Vivo) has to be The Talisman. Not the most visually entertaining of their live performances as Bruce stays pretty much grounded the whole time as you can hear he's not only pushing his voice to the limit, but absolutely knocking it out of the park! It's out of this world. An absolute must hear. You absolutely have to check it out, even if it's just for your own pleasure off camera
If you love a Crowd that sings with the Band, you have to Listen to Blind Guardian The Bard's Song. Best Live from Wacken 2016 in my Opinion (also I was there). Also Valhalla right after Bard's Song. Legends say, we are still singing
Nice reaction - dont think you should skip solos thou, us, the fans of the music, want to listen to all of it and see also your reaction to parts that are instrumental only. Please consider in upcoming Maiden reactions :) Oh and maybe react to Maiden, Dance of Death - Live version
Yeah I like your reactions but really a song is a total of all its parts. Focus on the vocals but people enjoy seeing the whole thing. Agree to rally with you needing to check out Jinjer. The one take vocal performance of Judgement and Punishment is perfect to see her technique.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers wow been watching reaction videos for over 3 hours. Just returned to the first of yours that I checked out. In high school I was into Aerosmith deep purple zeplin and I failed to give iron maiden and SaXoN a chance. Anyway glad you did child in time because of more popular but lessor deep purple tunes tend to get chosen. Had you done a later dp I would have likely gone back to April wine. Anyway if you are up for more deep purple Anyone's Daughter is funny. Also.
Definitely jealous of that, I had the chance to see Maiden a few months ago, but didn't find out that they were going to be near me until right after I bought my tickets for Judas Priest and unfortunately could not afford to go to both. I'm not mad but I assure I will be there next chance I get
Haha it’s so random that of all songs you know it’s can I play with madness! Great video, I love seeing fellow women in RUclips doing well. I’ll be sure to check out more if your videos, hopefully in the future you do more maiden/Dickson reactions - Bruce is just another level!
I know its pretty random 😂 one of those random memories from childhood! For sure, thank you so much for your kind words. Same! It is lovely to e-meet another woman here. Keep me updated with what you’re doing so i can watch and support 😊❤
Judging by your reaction to the singing crowd you might enjoy a live version of 'Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song'. There is a nice double feature from their 2016 Wacken show.
Excellent stuff. Just stumbled across your channel because of the Iron Maiden reference. Love a bit of the Mighty Maiden. Really good reaction / response video, I look forward to catching up with more of your videos. Bruce may be mid 60s but he's still got a cracking pair of pipes on him. Can't wait to see them again this year at the O2. New subscriber here. Cheers
Thank you so much my dude! Im chuffed you’ve enjoyed it! I know I have discovering all these new bands! Im actually jealous your getting to see them. Have a blast! 😊
First seen Maiden live back in 1986. Seen them dozens of times since then. Seen them last year in Belfast. Heading to Dublin in June Can't wait. I'm 72 years old and I intend to keep going to see them.
Maiden, absolutely awesome live! Please try NIGHTWISH "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013, you won't be disappointed, I promise! Haha new sub & like
Thank you my dude! I think Iron Maiden might be my new favourite next to Judas Priest! Ill check this out. There’s a lot of amazing live stuff on RUclips for IM so Im really spoiled. 😊
That would be a very short short video to watch for us. She skipped the entire solo section in this video. in Ghost live score, the opening gone, mid solo gone, the build up gone . Just Floor singing.
3:52 I’ve seen them 8 times (so far), this song is a staple of their show for this very reason, and I still get chills when the opening melody starts and we all start singing along. 14:54 Bruce never had any formal training, he learned “on the job” singing in small bands through high school and the local pub scenes. The only formal coaching he had was in 2015 during rehabilitation after treatment for throat cancer. He has a very theatrical approach, you notice the big movement and over exaggerated stances, he performs to the whole crowd, even those at the very back and up in the rafters, not just vocally but physically too. He is extraordinarily fit, he’s a competitive fencer with many trophies and medals, he was even asked to represent GB in the Olympics in either 84 or 88, but he declined the opportunity due to band commitments. He’s also a pilot, and they have to be pretty fit too. The whole band are very fit, the bassist and founding member Steve Harris plays football… before he started playing bass he was a West Ham academy player. He even put together a football team comprised of members of the band and road crew, they often play against local teams while on tour. What’s a day off? 😂 The energy they have onstage even in their 60s puts people half their age to shame, and even now Bruce runs a marathon while performing. I think he said he loses 2 to 3 litres in sweat in a single night.
What an amazing comment! Thank you my dude. Lots of food for thought here. I find it particularly impressive that he had throat cancer and managed to come back from that as I have known singers who I’ve worked with who have had even thyroid cancer and it ended their career. What a man. 😊💪
As someone who has watched Maiden quite a number of times live, the crowd may look squished and it might look to the outside like it's pretty chaotic, but metal heads are some of the most compassionate and kind people in music. My knee literally gave way from underneath me twice at one gig (Nottingham, 2017). First time I just wobbled and found my balance, but the second time I literally ended up on the floor. As soon as it happened, everyone stepped back to give me room, and someone I didn't even know was helping me back up with their arm around my shoulders. It might look agressive, but we're all a bunch of softies really!
This comment should get a couple of thousand upvotes. As a fellow metalhead, 6'5" with tattoos, thick beard and 140 kg to my name, im proud to say im a big old softie. Metalheads recognize the love for the music and other metalheads, no war in us whatsoever
Hi there, just found your channel! Maiden have....a lot of amazing songs that show off Bruce's voice. I'd suggest either Hallowed be thy Name or Phantom of the Opera (there is an amazing live recording of that from Download 2013 on youtube). Whatever you choose though you really can't go wrong with Maiden! Saw them live at Earls Court back in 2006, it was a damn near religious experience.
HIGHLY recommend Nightwish Ghost Love Score, Epica Stabat Mater Doloroso, and Sabaton Christmas Truce and No Bullets Fly as relevant for u as a soul singer...also Ren Hi Ren, and Ayreon Valley of the Queens and The Day the World Breaks Down
So glad I clicked this particular vid of yours. Came to see what you thought of Iron Maiden. I was happy you mentioned you skip through songs. I was going to recommend a fantastic singer for you to listen to. But the fans won’t watch if you skip through it. Saved everyone time 👍🏻
There's one band I haven't seen suggested, so if I may: Type-O Negative. Peter Steele is 6'8" and about as broad as he is tall. With that, he has equally long vocal cords which make him a unique listen. The band's musical style is often considered gothic metal, but there's also a subcurrent of dark humor underneath most of their music. "Love You to Death" is the default fan suggestion, but "Pyretta Blaze" is certainly another many fans would nod their heads to for a suggestion, if you'd like to travel off the beaten path.
First and foremost Melissa I would like to say that you have an AMAZING voice! I last saw Maiden in October and they still blow my mind. Im 57 and saw them first in 1981. I will admit that I am a super fan but the power and precision of Maiden remains at the highest of high levels. Stay on this journey Melissa and may I suggest "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Its a BANGER. 🤘🤘🤘 UP THE IRONS
Lovely finding a scottish reactor! Pure cracking up at some of your patter, you made me homesick, naebdy swears as fluently as us 🤣 Bruce is one of the all time great singers, you want to check out what his voice was like when he was younger (just as good). I actually was at the very first gig where Blaze Bailey sang for Maiden, at the Barras in Glasgow. Powerful singer, sort of reminiscent of Meatloaf or Jack Black.
Melisa, a couple of projects to check out for melodic and/or high pitched vocals is Ghost and King Diamond. Also, King Diamond was originally the vocalist for Mercyful Fate. His solo material is much more theatrical.
I’m not heavily into Iron Maiden and don’t have comprehensive knowledge of their catalogue. But I know that Bruce is one hell of a metal singer. And I love the studio version of their song “The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg”. Because Bruce puts that semi-operatic effect on his vocal lines and it sounds awesome. Plus there’s a fantastic held note to top the whole thing off.
May I suggest Hallowed Be Thy Name Live - its AMAZING... but you cant go wrong with any IM song! one of the best bands you will see live, very theatrical and crowd interaction.
On MTV Iron Maiden probably played Run To The Hills. But my favorite song from Iron Maiden is Alexander the Great from the caught somewhere in time album. PS. Iron Maiden is my favorite Band and have been listening to them for about 42 years or so.
Bruce Dickinson has a vocal range of 3 octaves and 11 semitones; It spans from D2-C♯6. The way he stands and hunches support his singing. And I totally agree but the other comment with the other comment,l. Hallowed be thy name is definitely the other song you need to listen live.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers At least you know he's real. 😂 p.s. Makes a nice change to see a Scottish RUclipsr being suggested to me. The only other two that ever come up in my suggestions are that guy that does history tours and the Critical Drinker. You usually have to hunt for the other stuff.
Melisa, one song I think you would really, really enjoy from a different band is Helloween - Forever and One (Official Live Video). They have 3 lead singers. In this video, two of the lead singers are singing. Since you like audience participation, this one is really good for that. See link (ruclips.net/video/v5ceqdP9Hbk/видео.html)
Next to Def Leppard and Judas Priest... Iron Maiden is one of the most successful British heavy metal/ hard rock bands... Their global audience is astonishing - from Australia to South America... from Asia to North America... The video u saw on MTV by Iron Maiden was 'Can I play with madness?" from 1988, their 7th album "Seventh son of a seventh son". It was actor Graham Chapman's last TV appearance before his death from cancer in 1989, and the band did not appear in the video (except in footage). Despite Bruce Dickinson (vocals) being their most prolific and current singer, Iron Maiden has recorded w/ 3 singers in total in the career... Iron Maiden was formed in 1975 by Steve Harris (bass) in London, UK... who began writing his own songs and wanted a band that would play them in clubs and bars. Early Iron Maiden was Harris and his mates jamming together... but he wanted a professional band, so members kept coming and going. Dave Murray (guitar) was introduced to Maiden in 1976 and he became a permanent member in 1977... That year, Paul Di'Anno (vocals) also joined and brought his bluesy, punk rock-style voice to the band... Iron Maiden built a following by playing shows in the UK for years, until they were finally signed in 1979, as Clive Burr (drums) and Dennis Stratton (2nd guitar) were added to the line-up. Their manager Rod Smallwood also felt that the band needed a 'personality' to make them more prolific, and so artist Derek Riggs contributed a painting a of skeletal ghoul w/ hollow eyes that became Iron Maiden's mascot 'Eddie the head' and appeared on every Iron Maiden album cover and t-shirt since. Iron Maiden's first album in 1980 charted at #4 in the UK... the band had a punk rock edge to their sound, as well as progressive elements w/ time changes and dueling guitars... Adrian Smith (guitar) replaced Stratton for the 2nd album 'Killers' in 1981... Iron Maiden toured N. America and Japan for the first time, but the band's rigorous touring schedule burnt out singer Paul Di'Anno on the road, so he parted ways w/ Maiden. Samson singer Bruce Dickinson had seen Iron Maiden perform w/ Paul Di'Anno, and he jumped at the chance in '81 when Di'Anno was out of Maiden... His first Maiden album 'The number of the beast' charted at #1 in the UK and sold platinum (1 million copies) in the USA... Nicko McBrain (drums) replaced Clive Burr in 1983 and Iron Maiden became an arena-headlining sensation in the 80's... releasing major albums like 'Piece of mind' (1983)... 'Powerslave' (1984)... 'Somewhere in time' (1986) and 'Seventh son of a seventh son' (1988)... But by 1989, guitarist Adrian Smith left the band, exhausted by the band's workload and creative conflicts. Janick Gers (guitar) joined Maiden in 1990 and 2 more albums were released - 'No prayer for the dying' (1990) and 'Fear of the dark' (1992)... But in 1993, Bruce Dickinson shocked Maiden fans by announcing that he was leaving the band for a solo career. Despite the setbacks and the 90's becoming hostile to heavy metal from the 80's... Iron Maiden searched extensively for a new singer and hired Blaze Bayley (vocals) from UK rockers Wolfsbane for the album 'The X Factor' in 1995... However, the 'new' Iron Maiden was sonically darker and more sinister, a product of Bayley's gruff vocal delivery... Maiden was not selling as many records and were reduced to playing small venues on tour... They tried again w/ the 'Virtual XI' album in 1988, but the Iron Maiden w/ Bayley on vocals was not selling, and he had difficulty singing Maiden classics in concert... It was likely a business decision to fire Blaze Bayley in early 1999. Meanwhile, neither Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith were selling records or concert tickets in the 90's, so they started working together again... In 1999, both Dickinson and Smith were offered to reunite w/ Maiden for a tour... It brought back some fanfare and the album 'Brave new world' was a success in 2000. Maiden were officially a 3 guitar band. Rather than go back w/ older records, Maiden decided to forge ahead... they wrote new songs that were longer and more intricate than their early records. They couldn't satisfy all the older fans, but they were always bringing in new people to their fanbase over the years... More albums emerged w/ longer, epic songs - 'Dance of death' (2003)... 'A matter of life and death' (2006)... 'The final fontier' (2010) and 'The Book of souls' (2015)... Bruce Dickinson went to get therapy for cancer around 2015, so Maiden did not tour until 2016, when he was given the OK by doctors. Their latest album ''Senjutsu" came out in 2021.
Every Iron Maiden concert is functionally a 20,000+ person sing-along, lol. You won't find more devoted fans anywhere. And Bruce has insane energy and presence on stage, beyond his vocals or music, he just seems to fill any room he's in with that classic heavy-metal energy. I don't even know how to describe it. Though I honestly prefer some of his solo stuff from the 90's. Specifically "Skunkworks' and "The Chemical Wedding". He broke out of the Iron Maiden mold for a while there.
9:19 His energy level is incredible. My whole family saw them in 2019. After the show, I observed to my husband that Bruce was slowing down a little. (He’s shifted the emphasis of the stage show *slightly* from the running and jumping to the theatrics.) My two middle kids, then aged 14 and 16, simultaneously said, “That’s slowing down?!” in absolute shock. They’d already been to several rock and metal shows, and they were blown away.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers It was definitely a big deal. My oldest had seen them a few times before, but it was the first Maiden show for my younger three and my daughter-in-law.
I saw them in 2019 too. Bruce apologised that he couldn't do a lot of jumping because of an injury he had suffered just before the tour. But he still gave it 100% energy!
Hi Melisa. Iron Maiden is my all time favorite band. I've been listening to them since I was 16 years old and I'm 55 now. They sound as good as ever and Bruce is still amazing. But do yourself a favor and react to their live 1982 From Hammersmith version of Hallowed be Thy Name. Best live performance of any band ever. You will absolutely be amazed at Bruce's range and voice in that one
Story from a Maiden show I attended in 2012ish: I was in the second seated row (behind the SRO in front of us) with my 300+lb cousin Johnny who had gotten out of jail just a few months earlier. We were in the encore when I saw out of the corner of my eye that Johnny had picked up and thrown someone from the row behind us. Since we were kids, this guy was given to causing trouble, so I just quickly finished my beer and assumed we were about to be escorted from the venue. I was thankful he at least waited until the end of the show to start shit this time. But it turned out we were fine. The reason he chucked the guy was that the guy had decided to try to pee in a beer can and missed, spraying the backs of the legs in our row with pee. I wore jeans and didn't notice. But my cousin had on shorts, and so did the teen kid next to him who was at the show with his dad. Johnny said he was more offended on behalf of the kid than himself, and threw the guy out of anger that he had fucked up this kid's first ever Maiden concert. I contest that the kid probably had a better show because of the pee and my cousin's subsequent violence. I bet he's still telling that story to this day. Anyway: we got to stay until the end of the show, and the rogue pisser got escorted from the venue.
Someone has already probably said this but 2 guirarists and a bassist is fairly standard in metal. Usually one rhythm, one lead for guitar. But in cases like Judas Priest its twin leads that switch roles.
Glad to see Rammstein on your list, that is an epic journey and you will be a different person the moment you begin. Yet again I must say that anyone who loves soulful vocals must experience King'sX. You have only the world to gain.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I drove half a day to see Rammstein, I will fly across the world to see them again. Firezone, your skin is burning while every inch of your body is being pounded by the music. The most immersive concert experience. Loud in so many ways besides the sound. Loud to your heart.
They had Dave and Adrian on guitar but Adrian left so they got Janick to replace him but many years later, they made friends again and brought Adrian back but didn't want to fire Janick so now they have 3 guitarists.
He has 5 masters degree and the whole band are semi professional soccer players and he is a commercial airline pilot, a professional fencing 🤺 highly intelligent
@@SoulSingerDiscovers some of my friends would say they are just drug addicts and don’t know anything. My friend could hold a candle to a conversation with Bruce or the other guys in such an amazing band. Every thing they sing about is ancient times and legendary things he is a genius and it’s a fact his iq was higher than Einstein. Look it up true story
One thing to add - on this tour Bruce also captains the jet ferrying the band and crew plus gear round the world. He is a fully qualified pilot and on latest tour was at the controls of a 747 fully painted in Iron Maiden graphics
@@robhutton7823 how sad! i didn't know that! Is there a statutory age limit for civil airline pilots consistent across all carriers or aviation authorities then?

Hi Melissa, greetings from the Netherlands. I really enjoy watching your reactions. I might have an interesting recommendation for you. Being a singer, you should definitely listen to Nightwish! They are a band from Finland and they’re top notch in the symphonic metal genre. Their Dutch singer, Floor Jansen has one of the best female voices in metal today. She's a master at conveying emotion through a song and her stage presence is unmistakable. Nightwish is very diverse, none of their songs are alike. There are epic and melodic songs, like the one I’m recommending now, but they can also go really heavy on you and the next song could be very celtic sounding or even jazzy. Their music is exceptionally well composed and arranged. The lyrics are very powerful and poetic, which leads to great storytelling. Nightwish is best appreciated LIVE. Give the song ‘Ghost Love Score’ a try. It was recorded at Wacken 2013, in front of 82 000 people. You might be surprised. ruclips.net/video/47e_961OQWE/видео.html

It's out of this world. An absolute must hear. You absolutely have to check it out, even if it's just for your own pleasure off camera
Bruce was also an international standard fencer, which may have influenced his stage movements and posture
If you love a Crowd that sings with the Band, you have to Listen to Blind Guardian The Bard's Song. Best Live from Wacken 2016 in my Opinion (also I was there). Also Valhalla right after Bard's Song.
Legends say, we are still singing
I choose to believe that legend! 😂
Dio, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Nightwish, Epica, Maiden, Ayreon, Sabaton, Metallica....the starter kit for RUclips metal reactors....
Let’s not forget Geoff Tate & Queensryche.
I second the Sabaton and Metallica recommendation
Blind Guardian... 😏
I noticed you listed all of the gods, Ronnie James Dios, bands first there!🤘
Nice reaction - dont think you should skip solos thou, us, the fans of the music, want to listen to all of it and see also your reaction to parts that are instrumental only. Please consider in upcoming Maiden reactions :)
Oh and maybe react to Maiden, Dance of Death - Live version
I will definitely consider it. Thank you for such a respectful request. Definitely checking out dance of death. Cheers my dude! 😊
Yeah I like your reactions but really a song is a total of all its parts. Focus on the vocals but people enjoy seeing the whole thing. Agree to rally with you needing to check out Jinjer. The one take vocal performance of Judgement and Punishment is perfect to see her technique.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers wow been watching reaction videos for over 3 hours. Just returned to the first of yours that I checked out. In high school I was into Aerosmith deep purple zeplin and I failed to give iron maiden and SaXoN a chance. Anyway glad you did child in time because of more popular but lessor deep purple tunes tend to get chosen. Had you done a later dp I would have likely gone back to April wine. Anyway if you are up for more deep purple Anyone's Daughter is funny. Also.
Bruce is the best. I just heard him performing 2 days ago and he sounds incredible. Tears of the Dragon is a must listen. It's my favorite song.
Definitely jealous of that, I had the chance to see Maiden a few months ago, but didn't find out that they were going to be near me until right after I bought my tickets for Judas Priest and unfortunately could not afford to go to both. I'm not mad but I assure I will be there next chance I get
Haha it’s so random that of all songs you know it’s can I play with madness! Great video, I love seeing fellow women in RUclips doing well. I’ll be sure to check out more if your videos, hopefully in the future you do more maiden/Dickson reactions - Bruce is just another level!
I know its pretty random 😂 one of those random memories from childhood! For sure, thank you so much for your kind words. Same! It is lovely to e-meet another woman here. Keep me updated with what you’re doing so i can watch and support 😊❤
Judging by your reaction to the singing crowd you might enjoy a live version of 'Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song'. There is a nice double feature from their 2016 Wacken show.
The best live band in the world(ever;)😜
Up the mighty Irons🤘🤘🤘🤘
Oh yes!? This'll be fun, lass. Will watch later - soon as I've downed tools & packed up for the day. Some rabbit hole you've stumbled on here. 🤣
Indeed it is and it goes to some weird places 😂 let me know what you think 🌸
Excellent stuff. Just stumbled across your channel because of the Iron Maiden reference. Love a bit of the Mighty Maiden. Really good reaction / response video, I look forward to catching up with more of your videos. Bruce may be mid 60s but he's still got a cracking pair of pipes on him. Can't wait to see them again this year at the O2. New subscriber here. Cheers
Thank you so much my dude! Im chuffed you’ve enjoyed it! I know I have discovering all these new bands! Im actually jealous your getting to see them. Have a blast! 😊
First seen Maiden live back in 1986. Seen them dozens of times since then. Seen them last year in Belfast. Heading to Dublin in June
Can't wait. I'm 72 years old and I intend to keep going to see them.
"Can I play with Madness" is also the name of the song. :)
love the vocal tips, thank you!! ive been overlooking the chin
Sometimes the fix to the hardest problems is the most simple 😊💪
Maiden, absolutely awesome live! Please try NIGHTWISH "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013, you won't be disappointed, I promise! Haha new sub & like
Thank you my dude! I think Iron Maiden might be my new favourite next to Judas Priest! Ill check this out. There’s a lot of amazing live stuff on RUclips for IM so Im really spoiled. 😊
That would be a very short short video to watch for us. She skipped the entire solo section in this video. in Ghost live score, the opening gone, mid solo gone, the build up gone . Just Floor singing.
But, but, but... The guitar solos!
Dammit Bob we’ve talked about this!!! 😂
sometimes he runs while he is singing and jumping
3:52 I’ve seen them 8 times (so far), this song is a staple of their show for this very reason, and I still get chills when the opening melody starts and we all start singing along.
14:54 Bruce never had any formal training, he learned “on the job” singing in small bands through high school and the local pub scenes. The only formal coaching he had was in 2015 during rehabilitation after treatment for throat cancer. He has a very theatrical approach, you notice the big movement and over exaggerated stances, he performs to the whole crowd, even those at the very back and up in the rafters, not just vocally but physically too. He is extraordinarily fit, he’s a competitive fencer with many trophies and medals, he was even asked to represent GB in the Olympics in either 84 or 88, but he declined the opportunity due to band commitments. He’s also a pilot, and they have to be pretty fit too.
The whole band are very fit, the bassist and founding member Steve Harris plays football… before he started playing bass he was a West Ham academy player. He even put together a football team comprised of members of the band and road crew, they often play against local teams while on tour. What’s a day off? 😂
The energy they have onstage even in their 60s puts people half their age to shame, and even now Bruce runs a marathon while performing. I think he said he loses 2 to 3 litres in sweat in a single night.
What an amazing comment! Thank you my dude. Lots of food for thought here. I find it particularly impressive that he had throat cancer and managed to come back from that as I have known singers who I’ve worked with who have had even thyroid cancer and it ended their career. What a man. 😊💪
They’ve been my all time favorite band since 1982 finally got to see them last September and was totally amazed
Jealous!! 🤯
Bruce Dickinson isn't just a singer. He tells stories. The ultimate storyteller.
Dance of death from this same gig is fantastic.
As someone who has watched Maiden quite a number of times live, the crowd may look squished and it might look to the outside like it's pretty chaotic, but metal heads are some of the most compassionate and kind people in music.
My knee literally gave way from underneath me twice at one gig (Nottingham, 2017). First time I just wobbled and found my balance, but the second time I literally ended up on the floor. As soon as it happened, everyone stepped back to give me room, and someone I didn't even know was helping me back up with their arm around my shoulders.
It might look agressive, but we're all a bunch of softies really!
This comment should get a couple of thousand upvotes. As a fellow metalhead, 6'5" with tattoos, thick beard and 140 kg to my name, im proud to say im a big old softie. Metalheads recognize the love for the music and other metalheads, no war in us whatsoever
been a Maiden fan since early to mid 80s, still my favorite band of all time
Best band ever walked at Earth ! without debate ! please .. go into ! more !
Totally different genre, but I watched a video of Peter Gabriel singing while riding a bicycle on stage and it was beautiful.
Hi there, just found your channel! Maiden have....a lot of amazing songs that show off Bruce's voice. I'd suggest either Hallowed be thy Name or Phantom of the Opera (there is an amazing live recording of that from Download 2013 on youtube). Whatever you choose though you really can't go wrong with Maiden! Saw them live at Earls Court back in 2006, it was a damn near religious experience.
HIGHLY recommend Nightwish Ghost Love Score, Epica Stabat Mater Doloroso, and Sabaton Christmas Truce and No Bullets Fly as relevant for u as a soul singer...also Ren Hi Ren, and Ayreon Valley of the Queens and The Day the World Breaks Down
Here's the thing. You NEVER pause in the middle of a guitar solo or skip it. You just don't. That's an unwritten law ;)
So glad I clicked this particular vid of yours. Came to see what you thought of Iron Maiden. I was happy you mentioned you skip through songs. I was going to recommend a fantastic singer for you to listen to. But the fans won’t watch if you skip through it. Saved everyone time 👍🏻
Oh good! Thanks!
That one line you remember was the title of the song!
nice reaction to Iron Maiden, one of the greatest band with no radio promo or support
Thank you my dude 😊
check out a live version of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" 🤘
Will do! 😊
You mentioned Bruce's stances and running around. That's influnces from his theater days when he was in school.
Fantastic! 😊
There's one band I haven't seen suggested, so if I may: Type-O Negative. Peter Steele is 6'8" and about as broad as he is tall. With that, he has equally long vocal cords which make him a unique listen. The band's musical style is often considered gothic metal, but there's also a subcurrent of dark humor underneath most of their music. "Love You to Death" is the default fan suggestion, but "Pyretta Blaze" is certainly another many fans would nod their heads to for a suggestion, if you'd like to travel off the beaten path.
Oh actually no one has suggested that yet 😊 Thank you! 😊
When the Audience sings along?....then BLIND GUARDIAN : BARD SONG/WALHALLA (Live at Wacken) is the ULTIMATE MUST !
First and foremost Melissa I would like to say that you have an AMAZING voice! I last saw Maiden in October and they still blow my mind. Im 57 and saw them first in 1981. I will admit that I am a super fan but the power and precision of Maiden remains at the highest of high levels. Stay on this journey Melissa and may I suggest "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Its a BANGER. 🤘🤘🤘 UP THE IRONS
Thank you Tim! I appreciate your kind words! I’m loving the journey into metal and iron maiden we’re a definite highlight 😊💪
I got a crowd of people on the ferry boat all singing Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" after a major sporting event victory. That was so cool. :)
Honestly stuff like that is my absolute favourite ❤️
Lovely finding a scottish reactor! Pure cracking up at some of your patter, you made me homesick, naebdy swears as fluently as us 🤣
Bruce is one of the all time great singers, you want to check out what his voice was like when he was younger (just as good). I actually was at the very first gig where Blaze Bailey sang for Maiden, at the Barras in Glasgow. Powerful singer, sort of reminiscent of Meatloaf or Jack Black.
We are nothing is not talented at swearing! 😂💪🏴
Melisa, a couple of projects to check out for melodic and/or high pitched vocals is Ghost and King Diamond. Also, King Diamond was originally the vocalist for Mercyful Fate. His solo material is much more theatrical.
I’m not heavily into Iron Maiden and don’t have comprehensive knowledge of their catalogue. But I know that Bruce is one hell of a metal singer. And I love the studio version of their song “The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg”. Because Bruce puts that semi-operatic effect on his vocal lines and it sounds awesome. Plus there’s a fantastic held note to top the whole thing off.
I would also suggest Queensryche Take Hold of the Flame live performance. Geoff Tate is one of GOATs of vocalists! Great reaction!
Agreed!! When i first heared Geoff.. in mid -80.. omfg!! Queenryche and maiden is much alike also! Though different😂🙌🏻
May I suggest Hallowed Be Thy Name Live - its AMAZING... but you cant go wrong with any IM song! one of the best bands you will see live, very theatrical and crowd interaction.
Yes, but please make it the 1982 version!!! Bruce was on fire then!
Hi there! Could you add to that list the band Lovebites?
Done and done 😊
On MTV Iron Maiden probably played Run To The Hills. But my favorite song from Iron Maiden is Alexander the Great from the caught somewhere in time album. PS. Iron Maiden is my favorite Band and have been listening to them for about 42 years or so.
you should definitely check dance of death" (the most theatrical performance from Bruce a mind blowing ) and "Talisman " all from en vivo
I love some theatrics tbh so Im there! 😂
Iron Maiden 1982 live performance of Hallowed be thy Name. & Nightwish live performance of Phantom of the opera with Tarja Turunen OR, Floor Jansen.
Rhyme of the ancient mariner flight 666, Bruce in his pomp.
Bruce Dickinson has a vocal range of 3 octaves and 11 semitones; It spans from D2-C♯6. The way he stands and hunches support his singing. And I totally agree but the other comment with the other comment,l. Hallowed be thy name is definitely the other song you need to listen live.
Suggestion: Ronnie James Dio, particularly his short stint in Black Sabbath. (Song suggestion: Heaven and Hell... album version)
Dio is on my wee list and I am very excited about it 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers At least you know he's real. 😂 p.s. Makes a nice change to see a Scottish RUclipsr being suggested to me. The only other two that ever come up in my suggestions are that guy that does history tours and the Critical Drinker. You usually have to hunt for the other stuff.
@@thursoberwick1948 aw I’m so glad! I think I’m also glad that people can understand me 😂
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I ken wha' yere talkin' aboot, 🐔 😊👍
I cannot recommend too highly Bruce's memoir, "What Does This Button Do?" He is a TRUE Renaissance man.
Melisa, one song I think you would really, really enjoy from a different band is Helloween - Forever and One (Official Live Video). They have 3 lead singers. In this video, two of the lead singers are singing. Since you like audience participation, this one is really good for that. See link (ruclips.net/video/v5ceqdP9Hbk/видео.html)
I’ve got them on the list and I think Im gonna like them from the band name alone 😊
If you love crowd participation, you need to watch Blind Guardian do Valhalla and The Bard's Song live.
You can really belt Melisa haha 8) nicely done.
Thank you my dude! I do try my very hardest 😊💪
Bruce, is a professional fencer
I googled it cos I didn’t believe you. I stand corrected 😂 wow, what a boss!
If memory serves me correctly I believe Bruce has had some classical training in his youth.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense!
Next to Def Leppard and Judas Priest... Iron Maiden is one of the most successful British heavy metal/ hard rock bands... Their global audience is astonishing - from Australia to South America... from Asia to North America... The video u saw on MTV by Iron Maiden was 'Can I play with madness?" from 1988, their 7th album "Seventh son of a seventh son". It was actor Graham Chapman's last TV appearance before his death from cancer in 1989, and the band did not appear in the video (except in footage).
Despite Bruce Dickinson (vocals) being their most prolific and current singer, Iron Maiden has recorded w/ 3 singers in total in the career...
Iron Maiden was formed in 1975 by Steve Harris (bass) in London, UK... who began writing his own songs and wanted a band that would play them in clubs and bars. Early Iron Maiden was Harris and his mates jamming together... but he wanted a professional band, so members kept coming and going. Dave Murray (guitar) was introduced to Maiden in 1976 and he became a permanent member in 1977... That year, Paul Di'Anno (vocals) also joined and brought his bluesy, punk rock-style voice to the band... Iron Maiden built a following by playing shows in the UK for years, until they were finally signed in 1979, as Clive Burr (drums) and Dennis Stratton (2nd guitar) were added to the line-up.
Their manager Rod Smallwood also felt that the band needed a 'personality' to make them more prolific, and so artist Derek Riggs contributed a painting a of skeletal ghoul w/ hollow eyes that became Iron Maiden's mascot 'Eddie the head' and appeared on every Iron Maiden album cover and t-shirt since.
Iron Maiden's first album in 1980 charted at #4 in the UK... the band had a punk rock edge to their sound, as well as progressive elements w/ time changes and dueling guitars... Adrian Smith (guitar) replaced Stratton for the 2nd album 'Killers' in 1981... Iron Maiden toured N. America and Japan for the first time, but the band's rigorous touring schedule burnt out singer Paul Di'Anno on the road, so he parted ways w/ Maiden.
Samson singer Bruce Dickinson had seen Iron Maiden perform w/ Paul Di'Anno, and he jumped at the chance in '81 when Di'Anno was out of Maiden... His first Maiden album 'The number of the beast' charted at #1 in the UK and sold platinum (1 million copies) in the USA... Nicko McBrain (drums) replaced Clive Burr in 1983 and Iron Maiden became an arena-headlining sensation in the 80's... releasing major albums like 'Piece of mind' (1983)... 'Powerslave' (1984)... 'Somewhere in time' (1986) and 'Seventh son of a seventh son' (1988)... But by 1989, guitarist Adrian Smith left the band, exhausted by the band's workload and creative conflicts.
Janick Gers (guitar) joined Maiden in 1990 and 2 more albums were released - 'No prayer for the dying' (1990) and 'Fear of the dark' (1992)... But in 1993, Bruce Dickinson shocked Maiden fans by announcing that he was leaving the band for a solo career.
Despite the setbacks and the 90's becoming hostile to heavy metal from the 80's... Iron Maiden searched extensively for a new singer and hired Blaze Bayley (vocals) from UK rockers Wolfsbane for the album 'The X Factor' in 1995... However, the 'new' Iron Maiden was sonically darker and more sinister, a product of Bayley's gruff vocal delivery... Maiden was not selling as many records and were reduced to playing small venues on tour... They tried again w/ the 'Virtual XI' album in 1988, but the Iron Maiden w/ Bayley on vocals was not selling, and he had difficulty singing Maiden classics in concert... It was likely a business decision to fire Blaze Bayley in early 1999.
Meanwhile, neither Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith were selling records or concert tickets in the 90's, so they started working together again... In 1999, both Dickinson and Smith were offered to reunite w/ Maiden for a tour... It brought back some fanfare and the album 'Brave new world' was a success in 2000. Maiden were officially a 3 guitar band.
Rather than go back w/ older records, Maiden decided to forge ahead... they wrote new songs that were longer and more intricate than their early records. They couldn't satisfy all the older fans, but they were always bringing in new people to their fanbase over the years... More albums emerged w/ longer, epic songs - 'Dance of death' (2003)... 'A matter of life and death' (2006)... 'The final fontier' (2010) and 'The Book of souls' (2015)... Bruce Dickinson went to get therapy for cancer around 2015, so Maiden did not tour until 2016, when he was given the OK by doctors. Their latest album ''Senjutsu" came out in 2021.
Talk you so much for this! You guys are great for doing the research for me 😂 I appreciate it very much my dude 😊
Saw them live last year. Even in their 60s, that was easily the best live show I've ever seen. And it's not close. If you get a chance, go.
I absolutely will now 😊
loved your reaction, keep it up ;)
Thank you! 😊
Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song is a nice one for the crowd singing along
Every Iron Maiden concert is functionally a 20,000+ person sing-along, lol. You won't find more devoted fans anywhere. And Bruce has insane energy and presence on stage, beyond his vocals or music, he just seems to fill any room he's in with that classic heavy-metal energy. I don't even know how to describe it. Though I honestly prefer some of his solo stuff from the 90's. Specifically "Skunkworks' and "The Chemical Wedding". He broke out of the Iron Maiden mold for a while there.
You should do a reaction to the song talisman from the same concert. Bruce's vocals are on a different level during that song
9:19 His energy level is incredible. My whole family saw them in 2019.
After the show, I observed to my husband that Bruce was slowing down a little. (He’s shifted the emphasis of the stage show *slightly* from the running and jumping to the theatrics.) My two middle kids, then aged 14 and 16, simultaneously said, “That’s slowing down?!” in absolute shock. They’d already been to several rock and metal shows, and they were blown away.
😂 They were standing up for their hero against this slander 😂 That’s so great though that your family all go together. What a great thing to share 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers It was definitely a big deal. My oldest had seen them a few times before, but it was the first Maiden show for my younger three and my daughter-in-law.
I saw them in 2019 too. Bruce apologised that he couldn't do a lot of jumping because of an injury he had suffered just before the tour. But he still gave it 100% energy!
Hi Melisa. Iron Maiden is my all time favorite band. I've been listening to them since I was 16 years old and I'm 55 now. They sound as good as ever and Bruce is still amazing. But do yourself a favor and react to their live 1982 From Hammersmith version of Hallowed be Thy Name. Best live performance of any band ever. You will absolutely be amazed at Bruce's range and voice in that one
Bruce also pilots the 747 the band uses to fly from gig to gig
😂😂 no way!!! I don’t believe you!
@@SoulSingerDiscovers no cap
@@SoulSingerDiscovers absolutely true
@@dmj4966 I googled it! And I stand corrected! Jesus Christ this man is another level of talented at EVERYTHING! It makes me sick in a wonderful way 😂
@@SoulSingerDiscovers He has 3 degrees in History, English and Economics and beat a throat cancer in 2015. Bruce is amazing in a lot of ways.
Story from a Maiden show I attended in 2012ish: I was in the second seated row (behind the SRO in front of us) with my 300+lb cousin Johnny who had gotten out of jail just a few months earlier. We were in the encore when I saw out of the corner of my eye that Johnny had picked up and thrown someone from the row behind us. Since we were kids, this guy was given to causing trouble, so I just quickly finished my beer and assumed we were about to be escorted from the venue. I was thankful he at least waited until the end of the show to start shit this time. But it turned out we were fine. The reason he chucked the guy was that the guy had decided to try to pee in a beer can and missed, spraying the backs of the legs in our row with pee. I wore jeans and didn't notice. But my cousin had on shorts, and so did the teen kid next to him who was at the show with his dad. Johnny said he was more offended on behalf of the kid than himself, and threw the guy out of anger that he had fucked up this kid's first ever Maiden concert. I contest that the kid probably had a better show because of the pee and my cousin's subsequent violence. I bet he's still telling that story to this day. Anyway: we got to stay until the end of the show, and the rogue pisser got escorted from the venue.
That music video was the last appearance of Graham Chapman from Monty Python before he sadly died.
Aw what a wee shame! But man what a way to go out ❤
The song with the words "Can I Play with Madness" that you remember is called...uhhhhh Can I Play with Madness....
Someone has already probably said this but 2 guirarists and a bassist is fairly standard in metal. Usually one rhythm, one lead for guitar. But in cases like Judas Priest its twin leads that switch roles.
Just found this channel and I'm sold "camp as knickers" 😁👍
Welcome aboard my dude 😊🌸
Great reaction thanks 😘
Glad to see Rammstein on your list, that is an epic journey and you will be a different person the moment you begin. Yet again I must say that anyone who loves soulful vocals must experience King'sX. You have only the world to gain.
I love this comment! Added to the list. Thank you my dude 😊 I look forward to being changed 😂
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I drove half a day to see Rammstein, I will fly across the world to see them again. Firezone, your skin is burning while every inch of your body is being pounded by the music. The most immersive concert experience. Loud in so many ways besides the sound. Loud to your heart.
Another group Van Halen songs Hot For Teacher, Panama, and Poundcake ( where Eddie uses a electric drill to play on his guitar).
Bruce Dickinson's nick name is the 'ENGLISH AIR RAID SIREN'
I think the song you've seen on MTV back in the day might have been "Can I Play With Madness?" You know, just based on the line that you remembered.
Watch Dance of Death live ,same show as this! His most epic performance!!!
A true authentic metal machine
never smoked. no voice lessons but ex girlfriend said you might have a voice asnd he read sa book. his autobiography has a chapter on singing.
They had Dave and Adrian on guitar but Adrian left so they got Janick to replace him but many years later, they made friends again and brought Adrian back but didn't want to fire Janick so now they have 3 guitarists.
halloweed be thy name is considered their best by fan. bruce is the best. painkiller official video is maybe the most intense metal
Tuning in late from Italy. One of my favourites is "Powerslave" from the same name album.....
Why would you cut out part of the song?
He has 5 masters degree and the whole band are semi professional soccer players and he is a commercial airline pilot, a professional fencing 🤺 highly intelligent
Jesus! He is an amazing person! 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers some of my friends would say they are just drug addicts and don’t know anything. My friend could hold a candle to a conversation with Bruce or the other guys in such an amazing band. Every thing they sing about is ancient times and legendary things he is a genius and it’s a fact his iq was higher than Einstein. Look it up true story
He flies his band in a 747 to other countries to play
Plus you are great yourself. Love from Iowa
I wonder what Melisa Kelly would think of Su-Metal's(& Moa-Metals) First Take version of Monochrome...Metal vocals slowed and done to piano...
Well there’s only one way to find out 😉
he's running..........free. Yeah
One thing to add - on this tour Bruce also captains the jet ferrying the band and crew plus gear round the world. He is a fully qualified pilot and on latest tour was at the controls of a 747 fully painted in Iron Maiden graphics
As soon as I realise that this wasn’t you guys f*cking with me, my mind was blown! 😂 What a guy! 😊
He used to he is now too old to for the pilot licence required to fly Ed Force One
@@robhutton7823 how sad! i didn't know that! Is there a statutory age limit for civil airline pilots consistent across all carriers or aviation authorities then?
