NOBODY is as loyal as an Iron Maiden fan...UP THE IRONS!!! 🤟
True dat! 🤟
Up the Irons 🔥🔥
Argentinian Nightwish fans may disagree but I am from The netherlands. Oh wait and than theire are The Swifties LOL
I must say too Floor jansen obviousily likes Iron Maiden too because she covered with After Forever "The Evil That Men Do"
Rush fans may disagree. But then most are also Maiden fans
Iron Maiden is one of the best Live Bands ever🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👌
Iron Maiden is THE best live band.
@@ryanab01 you have Right👍👍👍👍👌💪🤘
Maiden 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@ryanab01 Have been for over 40 years, and going strong!! UP THE IRONS FOREVER!!
The best.
They are on my top 5. Rammstein is nr 1
Iron Maiden are storytellers. Their songs aren't just platitudes, their songs are always a tale. That's what separates them from many other bands.
I’ve said it once, but I can’t claim credit for this saying: Not only does Iron Maiden give awesome shows, but they leave you with a couple history lessons without having to go to school
Their songwritings, melodies, transitions, emotions, beauty, energy, power, epicness, dynamics, drama, and vigor are there and well-balanced at the same time, at least mostly!
wtf is a platitude? :PPP
@@AgenteusaRR platitude means any remarks or statements that have been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is an Iron Maiden song you absolutely need to check out.
That is must to watch show. Epic performance and storytelling. ( Flight666 DVD).
@@truthseeker4U2 Flight 666 or Live After Death versions are both great.
Brilliant song, awesome live too.
You read my mind. And, both performances are great, but the one from Flight 666 was epic!
Yes , Flight 666 , awesome.
Bruce Dickinson is one of the best vocal storytellers of all time. You can't miss with Iron Maiden live. This has become my favorite reaction that you've done.
...left alone his vocal range. Hasn´t missed a halfstep in the last 20+ years it seems
@@user-me1kf7fn4n Even without voice (ad Donnington, if I'm right) lol
'The Clansman' from the same Rock in Rio 2001 concert is a masterpiece, and Bruce's Cossack dance half way through the song, at that age, just has to be seen!
This crowd was in Brasil, my country. So much proud ❤ Kisses from São Paulo Brasil (The city most fan of Iron Maiden, look Spotify numbers)
I've been following Iron maiden since they first started and haven't lost one ounce of enthusiasm for them.
The drummer, Nicko is one of the most respected and liked drummers in metal.
Always happy, hilarious and bubbly and a totally nice, down to earth bloke as well as a legendary drummer.
He's the hero of Nightwish drummer Kai Hato which is quite the fandom.
UP THE IRONS!!!🤘😎🤘
For bands with this kind of following , doing a show in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro in particular, is a monumental experience. Brazilians are passionate people, whether it be soccer, concerts, or “Carnaval”.
Best live version ever! Crowd of Rio de Janeiro always in the vanguard showing for the rest of the world how to do an incredible show. My Mom saw them at the first Rock in Rio, 1985, which 350,000 people attended and she loved it so much. I can't wait to take her to see them again this year in November.
Also, the moment you realize they are still performing like this into their 60s, which I am sure they will be rocking until the day that they aren't here anymore, shows you how amazing these guys are and are a true definition of what a legendary band should be.
Always preferred Flight 666 myself.
I grew up listening the Donington (92?) so it has a soft spot for me, but the Rock in Rio is a close second
Yep, Brazilian and Argentinian fans are passionate metal fans for sure. Megadeth "That one night in Buenos Ares is another example of a crazy good South American crowd.
I was also there in 1985... (51 now)
Brasil porra vamo, a gente sabe como fazer um show ser um show
1982 was a fantastic year for Maiden but, honestly, 2000-2011 were some of Maiden's best live performances. Phantom of the Opera from Ullevi in 2005, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner from Flight 666 in 2008, The Talisman from En Vivo in 2011, etc just some astounding live performances.
Few bands is better than Iron Maiden when you listen to them live..... it´s an incredible experiance that I am happy to have been able to be apart of
tell me one...? maximum new model army... or dio, rainbow, sabbath as one other band...
Better than Maiden? Who?
@@franciscoguimaraes534 Only QUEEN...
@@seelenwinter6662when it comes to live performances... Metallica.... they might be more or less even, but honestly, personaly I do like metallica better
@@franciscoguimaraes534 personal opinion, I will go with Metallica, since they are another band thats unrivaled when it comes to live performances.... Queen would be the best I guess tho
Steve Harris (bass) wrote 'Fear of the dark' in 1992 from the album of the same name - their 9th studio album... Harris is one of the band's main composers and lyricist... and the tempo changes in his songs are a key feature of Iron Maiden tracks.
One of the biggest inspirations for Steve Harris was the British progressive rock band Yes, which had a reputation of making epic tracks w/ intricate arrangements and time changes in the 70's (Check out their classic songs - 'Roundabout' ... "I've seen all the good people"... by Yes)
Harris said he was intimidated by (late) bassist Chris Squire of Yes, who was a stellar musician, and thought he could never be that good at playing bass... Another inspiration was bassist Pete Way of the British rock band U.F.O. - Harris' style of playing bass was very similar to that of Pete Way.
There r Maiden songs that Steve Harris wrote that stay in one tempo ('Wrathchild' ... 'The Trooper' ... 'Aces high'...) but those r usually written by other members of the band... For example, Adrian Smith (guitar) wrote the music to songs like 'Wasted years' ... 'The evil that men do'... 'Flight of Icarus'... etc. Guitarist Dave Murray contributed the music to tracks like 'Deja-vu'... 'Twilight zone'...
Iron Maiden's more recent records have had more progressive and epic songwriting that challenged the band's musical abilities... and this was coming from the band's songwriters... Iron Maiden has still delivered amazing newer songs, like - 'The writing on the wall'... 'The red and the black' ... 'Dance of death'.
IRON MAIDEN TOUR:
The band will tour the US from Oct. 4 in San Diego, California... and ends on Nov. 17 in San Antonio, Texas... w/ concerts on the East and West Coasts... the Midwest and the South. The tour is called "Days of the future past Tour"... which is promoting their latest album 'Senjutsu'... and revisiting their 1986 album 'Somewhere in Time'.
Iron Maiden is the greatest metal band of all time! And one of the greatest live bands also! They’ve built up a fan based on nothing but their albums and live shows. Never got any radio play! So it was all word of mouth from fan to fan! Incredible band.
I would love to see a reaction to a Live version of Rime of the Ancient Mariner! As Bruce once said “Rime was the closest thing we’ve ever done to an opera!”
One of the greatest. I don't mind putting Metallica there too, with Skorpions for nostalgic reasons lol
Iron Maiden are a force in themselves! They are rock gods, love them so much🎶🎶🥁🥁❤️ Love the reaction Stacey 🙂😎❤️
The Clansman, from the same concert, is even more intense! Ultra atmospheric! A must see!
I've seen Maiden a lot over the years, and you would think that people would be primarily singing along in the main crowd. It doesn't matter where you are. Merch table, concessions, even the bathroom.
Everyone who knows it is singing along. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Maiden live never disappoints!Seen them 8 times,always awesome!UP THE IRONS!!!🤘
Glad you came back to Iron Maiden Stacey. In the first clip you saw a different drummer, hos name was Clive Burr who died in 2013 due to ALS. He was forced to leave the band in 1982. Stay on the Maiden train, there are many songs to explore. Next I would suggest “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” it is based on a poem by by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Yes, absolutely! My recommendation is the Flight 666 version!
Maiden are one of the only bands of any genre that are better live than on an album AND get better as they get older.
Saw these guys playing in the afternoon on a much smaller stage at a Danish festival and thought by myself:
"Hey, these old guys really still rock the stage!"
Did not expect them to be still that good at their age.
Made me have ALL respect as a musician for what they did.
Now, ehm, 30 YEARS later, they still f'ing rock the stage just as good!!!
Holy Shit! Crazy, right?
🙂
Yeah, they are really worth watching live. Highly recommended.
Best regards. Stacey. Like your reactions.
The metal community in any concert we are brothers.
Iron Maiden concerts, we are Blood Brothers.
🤟🏼Up the irons 🤟🏼
This performance was at Rock in Rio (2001), this show was so epic that they even made an entire album and a VHS of this show.
Great reaction, Stacey. Now I think your next Iron Maiden reaction should be the song "Dance of Death".
Hello, I've just stumbled across your channel and enjoyed your reaction.
I'd like to say 3 things:
1. I grew up on 80's metal and yet never listened to Iron Maiden until a few years ago, and I've been very impressed with some of their music.
2. You mentioned the gym, and I almost always listen to Fear of the Dark while doing the treadmill. It really gets me pumped up.
3. You are exquisitely beautiful.
I have to admit, this was never a band I listened to regularly, but I have always respected how influential they are on music. SO many bands, from the 1980's on, wanted to BE Iron Maiden. They set a very high standard for them to strive for.
I feel the same way about Van Halen.
Obviously they were a phenomenal band but after the first two albums I lost interest real quick.
Your so correct. I used to hang out and drink with these guys back in the late 70s and early 80s in our local pub The Ruskin Arms. I must have seen them play there at least 30 times before they made the big time. I even played football with Stevie Harris for a local amateur team (Melbourne FC ⚽️ )and trust me he was as good at that as he is on the bass!!!! The best thing about Iron Maiden is that they were and STILL are the most humble guy's you could meet. Stevie still keeps in touch. Up the Irons ⚒️⚒️
How bout that! Cool. I've always had the notion there just a bunch of down to earth cool guys!
Welcome to the gang Stacey, you didn't need to tell us what your thoughts were, it was written allover your face throughout, you loved it 🤘❤🏴
How can anyone not instantly reach for the volume knob to crank it up!!!!
UP THE IRONS!!!!!
I love Sundays, Cause no one is home, and YES Maiden gets turned up to 11!!
UP THE IRONS!!
UP THE IRONS!!!! Some of my best concert memories are from Maiden concerts. You picked a great live version of Fear of the Dark. Those South American fans are amazing.
WELCOME TO THIS IRON MAIDEN JOURNEY ....I GREW UP LISTENING TO THIS AMAZING BAND ...TROOPER WAS THE VERY FIRST SONG I LEARNED ON THE GUITAR WHEN I WAS 16 ...
You get it. It's so great to another individual recognizing what makes them so unique and so special. The fans are the same all over the world. Welcome to the family. . . UP THE IRONS!!!
This is probably their most iconic live performance. People go crazy for this song and it’s clear why. This lineup is still the current lineup (even though this was filmed over 20 years ago now).
Really looking forward to witnessing your maiden journey, you have so much to discover!
I just saw them a year ago and they still nailed it.
@@RZK1966 same, saw them in June last year! Phenomenal performance.
Lovely reaction. Waysted Years and The Trooper maybe will be your next Maiden songs?
UP THE IRONS!!!
Listening to "Seventh son of a seventh son" by Iron Maiden and reading heroic fantasy, the music of this album takes you far beyond the novel you are reading. 😉
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son is my favourite album of all times. 🙌
One of my favorite reactors on YT, reacting to one of the greatest songs ever made. Love it. Impossible to watch this performance without getting goosebumps.
People keep forgetting that Bruce Bruce is classically trained in music! I've been a Maiden fan since 1983 and i'm happy to see new Maiden fans appreciating Iron Maiden. Up the Irons!
This performance is from their Rock in Rio concert back in 2001
Iron Maiden has always had awesome crowd interaction
Iron forever forever Iron. Great reaction. 💯💥🤘❤️🇮🇹
“Something about their music just touches my soul” welcome to the fam, glad to have you!
UP THE IRONS!!! 🤘
"Infinite Dreams" live in 1988. This was Maiden's creative peak and they sounded incredible
I've seen Iron Maiden multiple times in concert. And it's not like anything i've ever seen before. You MUST go see them live if you can! You'll never forget that experience. Thanks for another great reaction to my favorite band. 😊
"Hallowed Be Thy Name" came off of their 1982 album, "The Number to the Beast." "Fear of the Dark" came off their 1992 album of the same name. And it was Bruce Dickinson's last album with the band, until he rejoined in 1999/2000 to record their 2000 album "Brave New World." The headband wearing guitarist, Adrian Smith, who left after the 1988 album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" also rejoined the band with Bruce giving the band three guitarists because Janick Gers, the shaggy haired guitarist. The band's line-up has been consistent ever since 2000. So this line-up which is considered the classic line-up has been together longer in the last 25 years than any stretch of the original 80s. Janick, who was brought in as replacement for Adrian has actually been with the band the longest as he joined way back in 1989/90 to record 1990's "No Prayer for the Dying."
This was the first Iron Maiden concert I went to. Nineteen years old, 730 miles on a bus, the money was only enough to buy two beers and something to eat on the way back. Absolutely no regrets. The Clansman from the same concert is a masterpiece and I'm so grateful I was able to be there that day.
You just have to see them live. This is much more than a concert. This is an almost religion experience Stacey ❤
Fun Fact: everyone thinks the song's name is Fear Of The Dark but its actual name is Fear Of The Duck and it's about a phobia called Anatidaephobia, which is... fear of ducks. 😉
If you liked the crowd performance, make sure to check out Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016. another gem
Their songwritings, melodies and the transitions are so intriguing, influential, beautiful, emotional, energetic, powerful, dynamic, epic, well-balanced, very unique, rare, and very interesting at the same time, they have it all, at least mostly +/-
Great reaction Stacey. I have seen Iron Maiden live 3 times. They are always spot on. I can recommend to see them by yourself.
I'm going to assume you meant FOR yourself because NO Maiden fan at a gig is EVER by themselves. We are brothers and sisters and we will never surrender!!
You will not regret if you go see them in concert, when I go and see them, I always sit in the middle and about halfway up just to watch the crowd. It’s amazing.
You must watch Dance of Death live En Vivo, best performance off Bruce EVER 😊😊
I was at that concert. It was one of the best days of my life. What was said at the time was that there were 250,000 people in the audience. Nice reaction.
My suggestions for future reactions to the Maiden performances:
- Children of the Damned - Live Hammersmith
- Dance of Death - En Vivo
- Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Flight 666
- Infinite Dreams - Maiden England
One of the best heavy metal bands ever!! 🤘🤘
Nice to see how you like this video. It is a good idea to watch the band live. They always play older and newer songs at a concert. So you will get more impressions of their variability. If you wonder how Bruce is doing nowadays, at the age of 65, you should watch one of his newest solo videos called „Rain on the Graves“ on his RUclips channel. You‘ll like it. Greetings from Germany.
So glad you are enjoying your journey through the catalog of Iron Maiden. And bravo for all the live performances. That’s the best way to experience Iron Maiden.
I’ve had the great pleasure of seeing them live quite a few times starting with the Powerslave tour in late ‘84 to the most recent Book of Souls tour in ‘22. Each concert is quite a grandiose experience. Not only is their music phenomenal, but they give you their all every single night.
Up the irons!
🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸
Amazing reaction! I was there in this concert in Rock in Rio. Maiden is the best 🤟🏼
I suggest you "The Trooper" En Vivo Chile 2012 😊
All Iron Maiden songs have continuous rhythm changes. That's the beauty of their music. Bruce is a real industrial siren when he sings!
Singer Bruce Dickinson has a commercial pilots license and he flies the band's jet on tours.
Not anymore, just saw an interview for his new solo album, said he's gotten too old for the certification. Still cool he flew Ed-Force One for 30 years.
@@TheChromescorpion
Too bad, in the early 2000's he used to have a show on BBC where he got to test fly new airliners. Saw him do a barrel-roll in a giant Airbus jet (no passengers).
@@victorjohnson7512 He can still fly smaller aircraft, just that there is an age limit on heavy aircraft. I saw that show.
Iv watched this reaction numerous times now and after only your second time seeing hearing them the genuine love and enjoyment on your face warmd my heart
I've helped the lads sing this one a few times. One of the best live bands ever.
Great Reaction Stacey ! I think you will love the official video of THE TROOPER. It's one of the greatest hits. UP THE IRON'S ! 🤘🏼😀
bruce is a great storyteller. i recommend "dance of death - en vivo!" for the next time. bruce is even older, but continues killing it. and the crowd is amazing too.
It is wonderful to see someone see and appreciate Iron Maiden for the first time. The smile on your face tells it all. They haven’t lost a step since I saw them in 1985. Even if you don’t do a reaction video I think you will really enjoy Number of the Beast, 2 Minutes to Midnight, The Trooper and Run to the Hills. Enjoy!
STACEY... YOUR HOOKED 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Loving your reactions to Maiden
Seen them last year.. And DAMN they don't ever slow down !!!
Can I recommend DANCE OF DEATH (EN VIVO)
Purely for the theatric STORY TELLING 😉
Rime of the ancient Mariner - live after Death concert is the best performance ever!!
A great live band to react to would be Queensryche, from when they performed in Japan - Take Hold Of The Flame or The Lady Wore Black.
Geoff Tate is another level singer.
It would be the best show you'll ever see. You have to experience it. It's life changing. I took my kids as their fist concert and it still remains their favorite. I have seen them many time and will never miss a show. Up The Irons!!!!
Listening to Iron Maiden for the first time is like listening to music for the first time. It changes you forever.
Love it!
More Iron maiden please!!😊
As someone already wrote, "The clansman" is another great live performance.
I believe the TX stop for the tour is the Dickies Arena in the Ft Worth stockyards
So glad you found Rockin' Rio to react. I found this concert on MTV Live or VH1 back in the day. I'd heard Iron Maiden but never seen a concert video. Holy Smokes, this is one great show. Bruce flyin' and jumpin' around the stage, the guy is amazing - the whole band is amazing. Any band around for 40+ years ya have to respect and these guy's have earned everything they have.
Iron Maiden! Hell yeah!!
They're one of the very best Heavy Metal bands of all time and the amout of influence they provided to so many artists and bands, it's actually insane!
I don't really know any band with such powerful, relevant, notorious and impressive bass and how it is so distinctive in every single of their songs.
Bruce is a true legend and icon as a vocalist and composer, not to mention how the remaining members are some of the very best ever!!!
I grew up listening to Iron Maiden almost every day for years! My parents absolutely love them so it was almost a ritual haha
Looking forward to more Iron Maiden songs, specially The Tropper which is my favorite one!
P.S.: The transitions on this song were properly matched by your facial expressions, they were surely in sync hehehe
Fear of the Dark is my no1 favorite song. Ever and forever! The greatest song for a proper crowd reaction! Freakin love it!!!!
Yes! You nailed it when you said the drummer (Nicko) was spearheading the transitions and time/tempo changes. He is a master! The changes they make throughout their songs may sound nearly flawless, but they are ridiculously hard to pull off live! Great reaction and great observation.
I was at that concert. It even became a DVD. The atmosphere was insane throughout the entire show. It was a perfect Iron Maiden performance. 🇧🇷
The band that got me into Metal when I was a kid, seen them multiple times live and they still sound amazing now approaching 70
Yeeeeah! Do more Maiden! 🌻
Would love to see a reaction to The Talisman (live). It's an underrated gem out of a long catalogue of classics!
Definitely!
Have to do 'The Clansman' from the same concert. Even better! Bruce's energy is awesome 😎
i agree was my favorite song from this show!!!
They still sound that good too. Saw them just before covid, and it was the best concert ive ever seen. And ive been to so many i lost count
Nice reaction!
I'm from Brasil and someone here has commented that we, brazilians, are passionate, and this is correct!
There are many people in my country who love Iron Maiden, just like me - I've been a fan for decades!
If you get the chance to see any Maiden's live performance either in Rock in Rio 2021 or in Rock in Rio 2022, for your information I was there, surrounded by about 100,000 people in both occasions.
And, yes, they're on their "Future Past Tour" and my tickets are already bought for their concert that will take place on December 9th!
If you really enjoyed their guitar solos, transitions and theatrical performance, I recommend that you react to any live version of "The rime of the ancient mariner" (this song is based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge).
Some other suggestions of their hits to react to: "The number of the beast"; "Aces High"; "Wasted years"; "The clansman"; "Infinite dreams"; "Stranger in a strange land"; "Phantom of the opera"; "Revelations"; "The writing on the wall" (this one, from their latest album - "Senjutsu" - 2021).
Nice journey for you and...up the Irons!
I love this song and the live version is the best. I saw them in 1989 first time live.
Iron Maiden - The Clansman Rock in Rio 2001. or Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Next reaction, please
What a joy to watch you react to this! I'm so excited that you have discovered this band. There is truly no other band like them that can deliver like they can for as long as they have. I can't wait for your next song! You have sooooo many to choose from. Dance of Death from En Vivo is an absolute classic live performance. It will blow you away!
Try "Run to the Hills" Rock in Rio (specifically from the channel Calamar Plancha) - the crowd are insane in that one
Kudos, Stacey!
Excellent reaction.
Keep up the nice work/channel.
Those transitions that you were talking about is why I always view them as a progressive metal band. It's not normal straightforward heavy metal. Those transitions are a key part of progressive music, imo.
I've felt they're more prog than anything else.
What I love about this concert is that the fans are a quarter of a million strong
This show happened during Rock In Rio. I'm brazilian, I was there. It was incredible. Thanks for reacting to, Stacey
This is not from 1985
Yes, the idea of seeing them live is definitely worth every sacrifice. Irony is not my number 1, but the way they sound live and how wonderful their audience is blew me away. I definitely recommend it
I was in the middle of that crowd, in Rio. It wasn’t before the Hallowed Be Thy Name video, it was 18 years later.
bruce would put opera singers to shame, and this isn't an older video than hallowed, this gig was after he bet throat cancer. great reaction cheers bigears.
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden my holy trinity!!! The brits are in a class of their own.
Good ol'days when smartphone was not invented, pure uplifting joy at a concert :) this concert is a classic in every music genre, godlike performance.
You could pull up a video from any live show they've ever done anywhere in the world, and the crowd is always like this. This band gives them everything they've got every time, and the crowd return the favor every time.
METAL IS FAMILY!!
You had a real titanic moment in there "is anyone out there, can anyone hear me" "bruce... Come back... (Whistle) Come back" (whistle) "I'll never let go" (mic drop)
I was privileged to see them live in a London pub in the 80s . Still makes me feel young 😊
