I love the way that this band can tell you a story with their lyrics and it actually makes sense. The emotions that are brought out because of their songs are intense 🤘🏻
Can you guys do me a favor for my 6 year old son. He / we love one of the most underrated songs off Iron Maiden’s The Number of the Beast it’s the song The Prisoner. Could you do a reaction video to that song and dedicate it a Cayden Clark? It will be greatly appreciated.
Jedielson da Fonseca thank you, he likes Megadeth too. But to hear him sing the first part of Hallowed Be Thy Name is awesome and when he sings “At 5:00 they take me to the gallows pole,” puts chills on me.
Jaime Donoso We do the beginning of the song together, he kills me when he says, “I am not a number, I am a free man.” We sing parts of “Die With Your Boots On.” There’s not many Maiden songs he doesn’t like. But I’ll have to say Hallowed Be Thy Name is his favorite, but Empire of the Clouds is right up there too.
To be honest, I find it refreshing to hear an American speak about his own country's failings in an articulate and intelligent manner. In most other developed nations people do so openly, as it starts debate, hence you bring more awareness and opportunities to making positive changes to society. It's especially important for the USA due to it's global influence. I get tired of cocky 'yanks' who think their country is the greatest place on earth and just perfect, but then have never been out of their own state, wallowing in their own ignorance and what their Media tells them, living in a bubble! Keep up the good work, I love your debates, so different from most reactors. lol _I don't usually leave long post's and you will probably never see this but, Chur from NZL, Rock on!_ \m/
Dude this is one of my favorite maiden tunes. I have been a fan for about 35 years now. I remember when this came out and a friend and I watched the live after death vhs tape every day for a few weeks. Wore that one out lol. I am 45 now and have seen them about 15 times. The hands down best live band.
Christopher Carty oh damn right I have it on dvd now but still have the vhs (well the one I replaced the original with since that one did get worn out)
I used to play guitar along with that VHS to teach myself how to play. I still have my ticket stubs, T-shirts and tour programs from Powerslave and Somewhere in Time. Still great after all these years.
i was 15 in 84 and seen them at the forum in Los Angeles .and the show was so good we went back the next night and bought scalper tickets.and i just turned 51 July 25th and still love maiden.."UP THE IRONS"
Halifax NS Nov, 24 1984... Dee Snider ripped one of our local politicians a new one and the fans almost sunk a city ferry. One of the best concerts ever!!! Oh to be 14 again...
sopwithsnoopy Really I saw them Monday night for the first time in Nashville. It was the best concert I’ve ever seen. I wish TS was with them there. Yeah I’m an SMF.
For Blood Brothers i'd would suggest either from En Vivo or Book of Souls, Live Chapter. They have already reacted to so much from the Rock in Rio show, i'd like it if they mixed it up a bit
I love when I'm toolin' around listening to metal reactions online and I find someone actually informed about Gobal Policy, politics, and can speak about them. Really cool. Rare to find myself agreeing with someone so wholeheartedly in their commentary.
You are going to have an amazing time!! I saw them three weeks ago and they were phenomenal!!!! They have always been an amazing live band but on this tour they took up another notch. The setlist is amazing. Best live band ever in my opinion.
They are still a solid band. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them on August 13th in Buffalo, NY. This was my 5th Maiden show. The first one was back in 1984.
How ironic an Iron Maiden song on the night Im watching my first Maiden concert in Noblesville Indiana. This was the third song they played. Great show!
Angra - Carry On (A Brazilian band with a legion of fans around the world, especially in Brazil. His legendary vocalist André Matos did this year, and touched the whole country.)
I was 14 when this came out.. also when I first discovered the music of Iron Maiden. This song literally **IS** Iron Maiden to me. No matter what came before or what came after.. this very song is what I think of when someone says "Iron Maiden" to me. This whole album blew me away when I first heard it.. and almost rose to my number one favorite past Dio.. and Dio was the one who got me into Metal in the first place.. so unseating him in my eyes is no easy task. Maiden almost did just that. Peace
30 minute reaction and not one word about the music, the singing, the guitars, drums, solos, transitions, climax NOT ONE WORD I'm gonna go easy on Sori as she just had a baby but cmon Vin lift your game
@@Michael-ye9xj Unfortunately Vin thinks he needs to make his first priority to see how the song relates to his political thoughts instead of concentrating on the music he just listened to
What else do you expect from couple of christians who will all ways think they are better human beings than a non believer...plus they not here to react to music they here to judge and critisize what they are ignorant to and do not understand...and to push there own political agenda...and religious idealoligy....
This song is about the “doomsday clock” which was a clock that was designed to show how close the world was to total destruction, during the 80’s and the Cold War we were very close, thus 2 minutes to midnight, midnight being world destruction.
Edit: I wrote out the below before Vin mentioned he was aware of the Doomsday clock. 2 Minutes to midnight was the time on the theoretical "Doomsday clock" where "Midnight" is the end of the planet via Nuclear war or climate change etc. The closer to midnight the clock is, the closer to the end of humanity we are. Growing up in the 80s at the height of the cold war, Nuclear annihilation was always at the back of your mind as a child, even here in Australia. You mentioned the lyrics are relevant today, that would be because we are actually sitting at 11:58 right now according to the sight who publishes it. thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/past-statements/ It was a scary time in the 80s with the threat of Nuclear annihilation hanging over your head, the AIDS crisis, the discovery of the hole in the ozone layer etc.
Climate change...that's a more "recent" meaning added to the doomsday clock. The hole in the ozone layer is no longer a thing funny enough. I guess they move don from that.
@@JayTor2112 Yes, you are right, they only added climate change to it relatively recently. When they realized what one of the major causes of the ozone hole was, Chlorofluorocarbons, they pretty much stopped using them and the hole has actually been healing itself and at the current rate will be repaired by about 2060 according to this article. www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-46107843
This song has rang true since its release. Through all leaders of this world. Up The Irons. Two Minutes To Midnight is a term used in war. It is when the Strike begins. Not just about Nuclear War. This album is about WW2. A story about a war to end all wars. How can our politicians stay in power with the things they do and say. Thank You to ALL VETERANS around the world fighting for something greater than ourselves. I served 5 yrs. in the U.S. Navy and i wish we could lay down our weapons of war and make something greater. I purchased this album the day it was released. Been a Iron Maiden fan since. Their first album.
In my senior year back in 1988, we had a class called Nuclear Survival. It was an elective history class where we learned about what happens in a nuclear war and how many weapons each side had at that time. The teacher said the best way to deal with a war was to drive to the epicenter. If you survived, you would die a horrible slow and painful death where if you went quick, you'd avoid all the pain. We might not have been in any wars in the 80's but we thought about war all the time. It shaped a lot of metal music back then. So to say this is more relevant now is not an accurate statement, it was pretty relevant then as well.
Troy V same here..class of ‘88. We grew up with the so called fear of being bombed. Drop drills under the desk. Really? That wouldn’t help for shit. Always on tv...the USSR is going to bomb us. They were never going to bomb us. But ya your right Troy V...we thought about it a lot!
There is a web site where you can follow it all the time . Right now it’s at 100 seconds.I grew up in the 80s when every minute of every day was seconds to midnight.Meaning we could be killed at anytime buy a nuclear war and we practice nuke drills even in school. It was scary times
Funny how Iron Maiden has never had a song played on the radio. Never. Their music is not made for that. They don't need no stinking radio to gain popularity. I mean like, check it out
Sammy Beck They where played a lot on College Radio station when i was growing up with them. WSOU 89.5 FM Seton Hall radio best station ever growing up
@@sammybeck7794 i NEVER SAID in the 80's, YOU SAID Not once~!! I hear then on the radio in Minneapolis... So today i hear them in the 80's no but we were watching MTV.....
Sometimes I wonder how ppl haven't heard these songs before, even by accident..I guess soon we will have reactions to news about earth not being flat 😊
Bane Blessing It was my first after being a fan since I was about 10 years old (I’m 20 now) I was absolutely blown away. I never expected them to play The Evil That Men Do. One of my all time favorites.
A great song, musically stunning, and the letter is a direct attack to the cruel and crazy logic behind all wars. 2 minutes to midnight was the point before total destruction at famous Doomsday Clock. You can find an important reference in the comic and the movie WATCHMEN. In the 80s there were a real fear to mutual destruction at those last years of Cold War.
I have trained and trained and trained (kickboxing) and the more I have trained the less I have wanted to fight. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I know and that's enough.
It was 1980's.. the middle of the cold war .. and the people feared by the possible nuclear war.. newspapers has been published the Midnight Clock..(Doomsday Clock) It symbolizes the nuclear destruction.. When this track has been released, the midnight clock was in the 2 Minutes to the final destruction.. (the clock was arranged on the current politics on that era) .. And Iron Maiden wrotes this song for it.. 2 Minutes to Midnight means that we were so close to nuclear war when this track was released... :))))
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
This song came out in the middle of the cold war. Basically about nuclear war, and how we were close to it.
Yeah the title is about the doomsday clock
I was 12 when this came out. It was. We were all for killing in the name of...as long as we got them too.

You can find an important reference in the comic and the movie WATCHMEN. In the 80s there were a real fear to mutual destruction at those last years of Cold War.
Caught somewhere in time!!
One of the best metal songs in the simple verse/chorus category.
Crazy thing about Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that those places were nuked to specifically kill civilians.
"Crazy". That's one way to put it, I guess.
Dresden was firebombed for the same reason.
Ciao from Italy !
I have trained and trained and trained (kickboxing) and the more I have trained the less I have wanted to fight. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I know and that's enough.
This was actually released as a single and it was the first time I saw a warning for “explicit lyrics “.
Vin and Sori, when you have time, watch the official video that goes with 2 minutes to midnight. I think you'll enjoy it
It was 1980's.. the middle of the cold war .. and the people feared by the possible nuclear war.. newspapers has been published the Midnight Clock..(Doomsday Clock) It symbolizes the nuclear destruction.. When this track has been released, the midnight clock was in the 2 Minutes to the final destruction.. (the clock was arranged on the current politics on that era) .. And Iron Maiden wrotes this song for it.. 2 Minutes to Midnight means that we were so close to nuclear war when this track was released... :))))
The video sums up the lyrics pretty accurately also
seeing iron maiden TOMORROW!!!!!!!!
