we are very proud of the Irons in the UK, they are a national treasure
Go West Ham 😛
I've always loved how the solo of this song has two completly different faces just like the Phantom himself
perfect description of the paul v bruce thing. Maiden lost something when paul left and gained something from Bruce.
My favorite Maiden album, Di'Anno rules
Great song, great album. I agree Paul fits these songs perfectly, he's got that punk attitude.
Iron Maiden are the philosophers of metal music. They are "art metal" if you will. They use legends, history, etc as the foundation ideas for their songs. Most of their songs have fairly deep lyrical meanings.
Iron Maiden - Revelations
I was 15 when this album came out, I went to see them at least 10 times with Paul Di'Anno, such a great band live
These so called reaction-vids are much more than that with Wolf giving backstory to the bands.
It's good stuff!
Amazing! Let's get "Infinite Dreams" next! And "The Piper Never Dies" by Edguy :)
Yes agree, Infinite Dreams the best Iron Maiden song!
Piper Never Dies, fuck yeah!
Rest in peace Clive !
Clive Burr, Lost but not forgotten
Clive Burr only played on the first 3 albums. It's been Nicko since Piece of Mind.
The best three albums..closely followed by powerslave
I love all first 7 albums, but Clive's drumming is just so much better than Nicko's for me.
Thank you for the reaction, as always. Love these. I usually try to suggest a few songs that are maybe a bit more obscure to the "reacting community", but I would actually love to see your reaction to both JinJer - Pisces and Gojira - Flying Whales. I know they are both a bit "played out" among the reaction folk, but they are both FANTASTIC songs that hove a real flavor all their own. I am a metal head of nearly 40 years now, and hearing Gojira for the first time was honestly like hearing Master of Puppets for the first time back in '86. A special band to be sure. As for JinJer, well... the vocals are something to experience. Great energy.
Again, thanks for all you do. Great channel. I feel as though it would be great fun just to hang with you both and talk music and life. If you are ever in the Chicagoland area...
Have you seen the fan made cartoons made to each song? Lots of fun and worth checking out :) Big maiden fans in our house xxx
Experienced Maiden live at a metal festival this summer, and it's impossible to express how awesome it is. Even in their senior years, and with an ex-throat-cancer Bruce they still rock like no one else! Happy holidays :)
What about a reaction video on Iron Maiden's Empire Of The Clouds? Such an amazing composition and a powerful story about an almost forgotten tragic event.
Both vocalists are good but Iron Maiden became more refined when Bruce Dickinson and Nicko McBrain joined
Sorry friend, but Clive Burr was the real sound of the Iron Maiden
@@hugostigglitz9639 maybe he is an original but not the best, so sorry friend but it's all about Bruce Dickinson and Nicko Mcbrain
@@sammybeck7794 Nico has his own style, that's sure.
I like the rythms he gives with those gallopes double bass pedal with just one pedal
@@sammybeck7794Love Nico but the drum work Clive does musically with the songs is way better. There is stand out songs for Nico Like Pachendale, Rime of the Ancient Mariner. But Iron Maiden was gifted with the best players and history shows the choices worked out.
Clive Burr >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nicko McBrain
I don't think Maiden would be as big as they are today if Bruce had not replaced Paul.
That's for sure. It's hard nowadays to understand the massive impact that Bruce's voice had when he joined the band, but he was (is, for me) something from another world.
Paul admitted he was terrified when he saw the list of dates they had as they got bigger and bigger and knew the way he was living he would not make it....and that was before they had really exploded. They would have folded sadly with him. Maybe done one more album first.
Di'Anno is an excellent singer, I adore his work, but he lacks this special charisma Bruce has.
Does anything think Jinjer Pisces would be a good reaction for them ?
"Alexander the Great" please! Best solo ever! Good job guys!
cami71able ... great one
yes certainly one of my favourite solo's for sure
@@cycochris07 And now the solos in "The writing on the wall" are quiet impressive ... and expressive .
from the first album to the seventh son of a seventh son, maiden is a MUST LISTEN to not just rock/metal music listeners, but for all the people in the world
I think, for this song, the concert version with DiAnno was superior. I really recommend that one!
Iron Maiden's self title debut album was released in 1980. Also Denis Stratton was the guitarist in their first album before he left in early 81 and he was replaced by Adrian Smith when they were about to record their second album Killers.
Clive Burr is indeed on Number of the Beast. Clive Burr was sick and passed away in 2013.
Your journey has progressed to the stage where you are now ready for some Rush - a little 3 piece band 40 years ahead of Alien Weaponry. You could jump straight into 2112 or ease yourselves in gently with 'the trees' or 'spirit of radio'. Loving the Channel.
Iron Maiden - To Tame A Land
one of their best, remember the little record scratch that came just before the guitars come in
Their tribute to "DUNE" ....by the way,check out the FOLK! Version by STILLE VOLK !
Underrated track. It's so damn good but barely anyone ever mentions it.
You should react to more Iron Maiden.
..and they react to good ones, not the hits, singles, "everybody knows songs"
@@blodekont5458 I think they've only reacted to 2 songs...
@@matiasdimter619 ypu don't say... I know that, lol, but NOT the ones all others react to, thought you'd understood that......
@@matiasdimter619 Three, but they had to erase the Flight of Icarus.
Steve Harris IMO is the all time best bassist of all time. And one of the best song writers as well.
You guys just hit 10K subscribers, now almost at 11k! Much deserved for 2 wonderful people!
Anathema one last goodbye. About the brothers in the bands mother who died of cancer. Real heart breaker.
Just want to correct some information in your video: Adrian Smith left after Seventh Son world your (1989), then Bruce Dickinson left after the Fear Of The Dark tour with a TV live 'rock opera' performance (1993). He left to follow acting, writing (screenplays and novels) and solo projects.
Janick Gers joined in 1989 to replace Adrian Smith for the No Prayer For The Dying album (1990 release).
I´m gonna say an unusual one, from the first album -"Strange world" - the first Irons song I ever heard, fantastic song, not typical for them, but the gentle guitars......jesus it´s good
Paul dianno is not the original lead singer of iron maiden. The first incarnation of Iron Maiden was a five-piece and featured Steve Harris on bass, Paul Day on vocals, Dave Sullivan and Terry Rance on guitar, and Ron Matthews on drums.
Thank you for the reaction! This is my favorite track by Iron Maiden! As some other commenters say; the next *Iron Maiden* step to take is *Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.*
Clive Burr is on Number of the Beast. They changed for Peace of Mind. He's my favorite Maiden drummer.
Paul's voice it's like a Jet plane, while Bruce's voice it's a 747. Both take you there in a different form but get the job done.
I'm an atheist who cellys Festivus For The Rest Of Us, it involves smoking weed, watching Die Hard and instead of a tree I make a pyramid of beer cans.
I'm sorta a theist (as far as hedging bets) and I also watch die hard and drink alcohol at Christmas time.
I celebrate the solstice, since it's something important that actually happens. :D
lmao
I drink beer, watch Die Hard, air a few grievances, go swimming, eat great food, and enjoy time with family and friends.
Its about time someone reacted too this .
You should react to Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name live Hammersmith 1982
Thanks for reminding me of these old iron maiden albums. I get away from maiden and come back after a short break .. but usually listen to the 80's records.
One of my favorite MAIDEN songs here, personally! Those riffs upon riffs upon riffs... OMG. Nice pick to remind people just how good these guys were from the beginning! Complete with the trademark groove that appears at around 20 min. in your recording... it was there on the first album, and it never left! :))
Btw, I LOVE how Bruce sells his songs live - not sure how anyone would not appreciate him going "all in". Please, Wolf, be quick (or be dead, ha-ha ;))) to show Sistah a live cut or two of MAIDEN operating live with all 3 guitarists! It is so much fun to rock out with you during the reactions... can't wait what THAT would be! A riot! :)) \m/
Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb (live "Pulse")..i bet she would cry :P
Next Maiden could be Transylvania :)
Please, do The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
And Genghis Khan, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Aces High...so many songs...
why? bruce cant sing!!!
blenfor ....great one
@@josecastillo5219 And for someone who can't sing, he sounds amazing!
@@AnonEyeMouse i was being sarcastic, the live after death version with bruce is what they should've played lol
"Iron Maiden is phenomenal!" - I agree...they are the best...the definitive metal band in my world. Steve Harris's bass is definitely what drives their music.
To me the definitive metal band is Judas Priest.
Throw some classic RUSH at her... she'd love it. La Villa Strangiato, Xanadu, 2112, Fountain of Lamneth, the Garden. Fantastic band... tell her they're a mix of Yes, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and insanely talented musicians and composers.
Dude, I have listened to this in forever. Thanks for bringing this back for me, too! (Man I seriously haven't listened to the first album in years.). Love to watch you love the stuff I grew up on!!
From the album Powerslave, The Duellists, Up The Irons!.
Oh man The Duellists is such an incredible song! It's my favourite Maiden tune. Sadly, most people don't even know it exists.
Wintersun - Loneliness
I've had the privilege of seeing Iron Maiden on every US tour they've done and was at the Long Beach Arena when they recorded their Live After Death album. I'm also going to their show in Las Vegas next September. UP THE IRONS!!!
Paul Dianno was kicked out because of the coke issues! Also at that time, paul wanted maiden to be more or a punk sound back then!!! I was lucky enough to hear then back in the day at the Ruskins Arms in East Ham, London!
You are a truly beautiful couple...I love you. This track is where it all started for me...the first ever metal track I heard. Wolfkain, if you have any Maiden vinyl, take a look at the artwork and you'll find a pub called the 'Ruskin Arms' It's on the artwork of all the albums. This is the pub where they started. When I got my first job as a metal drummer we played our first gig there...You can imagine how it felt to be on that stage. In the same pub I ended up having a drink with Paul Di'anno one night. In 86 or 87 I was at an Anthrax gig in London...and next to me was Steve Harris...What a night!! Maiden has been with me in one way or another since the beginning.
Thank you for this wonderful reaction.
Sistah, I loved watching your enjoyment as this track threw you around with the transitions and tempo changes...and I loved watching you pick up the air guitar. Wolfkain, I love your commentary and breakdown of the music and the band...You have an amazing knowledge of the genre. Thank you both for being who you are. Tom
phantom of the opera was your first ever metal song? man, i mean where do go from there!? lol
This will always be one of my all time favs
As a 40+year drumming vet I have always told everyone one thing about Maiden - all hail Saint 'Arry. People constantly talk about signature guitar sounds - ladies & gentlemen, Mr Steve Harris. Kia kaha
Love how you appreciate Iron Maiden.
give Strange World a listen or Remember Tomorrow. Very good DiAnno tracks!
Fucking Yes!
Or another good Ballad type song with Dianno is Prodigal Son from the Killers Album.
Strange world is...... out of this world! 🙌 \m/👊

Thank you for bringing back the memory of me...discovering this song. Incredible that a band created that song at that time and at that age. Sistah, I love the way you let the music in. It's even surprising to see how intense you can react. Seems like you love guitar. I would love to see you react to ''In The Name of God'' from Steve Vai. But, maybe you already know the song! Looking forward to see more of you guys.
Heck yeah! Always waiting for the next episode! Beautiful in Red!
She will melt when she hears Seventh Son...
Jethro Tull: Cold Wind to Valhalla
a couple of thing I'd like to correct you. Adrian smith left iron maiden before Bruce Left. Jenick Gear played on Bruce Dickinson first solo album and he later joined maiden after Smith left after the seventh son tour. Adrian put out a solo album and a couple of album with another band called Psyche Hotel before he played on Bruce 2 solo albums Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding. he even toured with Bruce until the both rejoined iron maiden. Clive Burr did in fact played on number of the beast.
Yesssss Paul Di’Anno was Killer on the first two more Punkrock Maiden Albums. Killers is my favorite together with Number Of The Beast and Piece Of Mind.
You pick the right songs for Sis!👌🤘🏼
you deserve 100k subscriptions, no joke. Always waiting to see your content!
Clive played on Number.
Try to find maiden doing rainbows gold. Just great.
Clive Barr was the drummer on Number of the Beast, Nikko didn't come til piece of mind
That's it.. you just felt it. Amazing!
Iron Maiden’s Hallowed be thy Name is my go to Maiden track.....this one is bloody good though.
Just to add. It also comes from 4-5 years of playing in pubs all over the UK. They would jump on a bus on a Friday, drive 200-300 miles, do a gig, drive the same again for Saturday, then drive home 500 miles and back home to start work on Monday morning. Steve Harris was self-taught too.
Yup Clive was on the Number of the beast.
IRON MAIDEN - THE DUELIST (Instrumental)
Sistah, you are awesome!
I recommend "Us and Them" from the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon album. Bring tissues.
Iron Maiden is phenomenal. Yep she gets it. Have her Listen to Black Sabbath --Black Sabbath. If you want to start from the early days. Also every time I get a notification I'm hoping to see you in King Diamond corpse paint
Nice reaction, make sure you get tickets for next summers Maiden US tour!
Now this is a superb reaction. Thank you so much. It does so much to me as a Iron Maiden fan to listen you talk and discuss the things why I became a fan in the first place.
Iron Maiden for life !!!! \m/

ive been listening to maiden for over 20 years and i still ball my eyes out. their sound touches me in ways i cant explain. it was a pleasure to watch you react there Sistah.
Iron Maiden-Be Quick or be dead
If you're doing back to back songs, try doing Rainbow's 'Stargazer' and 'A light in the black' like that, as they are two parts of the same story. Also... Dio's vocals.
This!
We're not showing her the Live After Death version of this song? Nothing beats that version of Phantom of the Opera. The solo feels so much more controlled live. The studio version is all over the place.
Pink Floyd "High Hopes" very deep song.....Last song performed on the last Pink Floyd album..The "Division Bell" masterpiece!!!
This song is a perfect timing & synchronization between the singer(s) and the music. It creates something unique.
You should always react to Maiden live the way they're best.
I enjoy these reaction videos. This is the first time I’ve ever commented on any reaction video or the DiAnno Vs Dickinson debate.
I’ve been a fan of this genre of music since 1979. I’ve collected thousands of songs in my collection and seen many concerts.
I consider this version of this song to be the greatest song ever recorded.
It’s easy and obvious to say that back when this song came out, there was nothing like it before - it was groundbreaking. I remember describing the song over the phone to my cousin after I first heard it. What I said some 38 years ago was that ‘... they could have chopped up this song and made four or five songs out of it...’ . It was my badge of honor for those who laughed at the art form I loved for lacking skill. It’s still the greatest song, years later.
“Prowler”, “Remember Tomorrow”, “Transylvania” ... to have these other songs on this album as well ... every other song on the album could have consisted of Yoko Ono singing a-capella - this is additionally the greatest studio album ever recorded. That raw, punk edge mixed with tempo changes and intricate riffs ... I only place “Unleashed In The East” above the debut Iron Maiden album.
The only problem for me was that this album set the bar at an impossibly high level.
The second album was very good. Then, Bruce comes in for the 3rd album. In addition to Bruce having a completely different style, the punk-like raw edge began to fade. It was a great album with some great songs - but it was not the same thing as the first album. Clearly, you can’t break ground twice. The ‘next’ groundbreaking album in the genre after the first Maiden LP was “Kill ‘Em All”, and that also changed my expectations of the genre. Ironically, I was at Metallica’s first show in NY in Staten Island and Steve Harris was there to see his friend Adrian Vandenberg as the headliner. Harris spoke to our group who was there at the show. We were there to see Metallica who were all the buzz in the underground. I had not yet been savvy enough to get their demo tape. It was to be Dave Mustaine’s next to last show with Metallica, but meant nothing to me at the time, obviously.
So, here I am, standing next to the founding member of my favorite band as we all watched the stage and saw what would soon become my next favorite band in the world (... for a short time ...) - it was surreal!
Metallica broke ground, but Maiden was developing a sound that further distanced it from the first album.
DiAnno Vs Bruce ... There’s obviously a bias for me because of the epic and groundbreaking nature of the debut album. If a singing coach asked each singer to sing a-cappella, I’d venture to guess that Bruce might be though to have the superior voice ...
... however ...
... not only was Maiden’s sound further distancing itself from the first album, whatever sound they had ... the way the songs are put together ... the best way to say it is that a singer should add an overall tone that blends in with the tone that the band is playing and Bruce does not do that most of the time - and that is the reason I prefer DiAnno.
Bruce is a fantastic ambassador for the art form in his off-stage accomplishments. He gives “us” credibility. Songs like “Hallowed Be Thy Name”, “Number of the Beast”, “Run to the Hills”, “Aces High” - great stuff - what’s not to love?
... but comparing it all to this song ... there can only be one “greatest song ever”, and this one is it
It sounds like you also prefer a more punk influence edge to your music, is that fair to say? Since I was born later I experienced it backwards a bit, but I certainly agree they were groundbreaking ✊🤘
George WolfKain
Thanks for the reply. What you and HLS do here is bring attention to a fantastic sub-genre of music in a natural way. It allows those of us who remember our own first reaction to some of these legendary songs to recollect. Keep it going!
I guess one might conclude that I’m more into punk than metal based on my feedback above, that’s not the case. It seems that the Maiden sound evolved with their continued success partially because they had more financial resources pumped into their subsequent releases due to increased support from the record company. Also, over the years, their targeted signature guitar tone changed. I think of two songs comparatively: ‘Prowler’ and, years later, ‘Aces High’: When that first guitar riff on the respective album openers are heard, that immediately establishes an expectation of what’s to follow. At this point, it then becomes a point of personal preference.
Many of the bands that I love are ones where I had that first reaction moment to on their debut album. One band that falls under the category of ‘...didn’t fully immerse myself into them until later in life, after their golden years ...’ is the woefully under appreciated U.F.O. whom, ironically, were major influences to Maiden. Some of their classics were prevalent as DJs played them in clubs between bands, but listening with focus as you do here gravitated me to the guitar work of Schenker and the vocal tone of Phil Moog. Moog and DiAnno are in a similar class style-wise. It wasn’t until I increasingly immersed myself into Schenker’s work with UFO that I valued other guitar characteristics over quantitative characteristics like playing fast. His tone (going back to that again) is distinctive (like a Brian May, Carlos Santana or Randy Rhodes), but there’s an emotion that came out which took me several songs to appreciate his style, consistency and longevity.
Thanks for allowing this tiny section of cyberspace for me to go back in time and reflect on my first reactions and subsequent support of bands who were going through their “debut to stardom” phases. Keep the spirit that you show, which is reflective in the music of the genre.
More Iron Maiden please!
0:00-04: 30... mom..dad..GET A ROOM !!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!
My best suggestions for the next Maiden songs:
22 Acaica Avenue - really intricate rythmic formula, one of their best groovy songs.
Hallowed be thy name - 'cause simply one of their best.
To tame a land - 'cause it's an unknown fantastic song.
The duellist - 'cause it is one of their best undervalued song.
Alexander the great - one of their giant songs.
Seventh son of a seventh son - one of their ohter giant songs, with the best solo at the end.
You are very good! "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" should be next!
The problem with that is you need to listen to the whole album for Seventh Son... That would have to be some kind of special event. Which I'd be down for, to be honest.
powerful and briliant song. one of my favourites. the most listened in my last weeks
Infinite Dreams rather
The poet and the pendulum -Nightwish (live)
Yes, Clive is on number of the beast!
Ahhhhh... the classic! I remember being absolutely mesmerized by this song when I first started listening to metal. It was unlike any music I have heard before (well, except maybe Pink Floyd my father used to play when I was a kid).
Also, I cannot help myself - one trying to learn early Maiden stuff cannot avoid "Purgatory" for long. It's an absolute masterpiece, both as a song and as a proof of Di'Anno's vocal abilities.
I love your guys reactions btw!
True Maiden fans, just get it!!!
They are a Machine!!!
Hey guys, thanks for this! I haven't heard that song in 40 years. Thanks again!
Dave Murray = David Cassidy?
Hahahahahaha!!!! Good eye!
Partridge Maiden!!
♫ This is a song the world will be singin... come on, meet EDDIEEEEEEEE...!!! ♫
Bruce is GOAT regardless, not a knock on Paul, but it's a no contest really. Great vid! Oh, and DC is absolutely awesome!
Great review/reaction! I've been a Maiden fan since 1981 when I saw them on their Killers Tour. I was BLOWN AWAY at the age of 14. So glad I got to see Paul and Clive with the early band. I also saw them in 1982, 1983, 1987, 1998, and 2000... and I've got tickets to see them next year. Up the Irons, mates!
Festivas, for the Rest of Us!
first time I heard that guitar riff at the beginning was on a lucozade advert in the 80's decade
