Even if someone doesn't like heavy metal music it is undeniable how talented Iron Maiden is both musically and the voice of Bruce Dickinson is beyond amazing.
He is so amazing and incredible😍😍😍thanks for sharing🥰
Also check out something of Bruce's solo works. Tears Of The Dragon is one of my faves
Some of Iron Maidens recordings were amazing.
Everyone that is a critical listener should make sure to got loudnesswar to find the best recordings with the most dynamic range.
It's shocking, the difference in sound quality with a decent stereo/headphones between the SAME album, but a different recording(i.e. a Japanese release vs some USA "remaster" from the 2000s).
EDIT: I'm 30 sec in and love your reaction, cant wait till you see him belt it out heh. Go listen to "Live After Death"
@Aaliyah Capili You have no idea till you see them live. It's orgasmick.
I'd call it hard rock rather than metal and I love both. There is NO denying the talent, you are correct about that but that applies to every artist on that stage, this is just how it had to be done back when there was nothing but skill. This is live, without any of it being pre-recorded or going through a mixer like today.
Maiden still does it that way to this day, this is exactly how it sounds without any form of help. Though listening to them live yesterday Bruce doesn't have that voice but he makes up for it through sheer raw power which is really impressive all in itself.
Cool fun fact: They played this live for the first time about a week before the album dropped 😁 So, the people at this show actually heard this song for the very first time 😊
Thanks so much for sharing Mr. Jonas
My older sister, who didn't even like Maiden somehow got to be there and I was SO mad, I was 12 at the time. She recorded it on her freestyle for me which made me king among my friends so she was soon forgiven. :)
@@michaelmay5453
Lol. That's a great cool and funny story. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah, they got to see something special that night.
@@michaelmay5453 did you get any shirt from the event
You’ve just unlocked the greatest live band of all time 🤘🏻 great reaction
Thanks so much Mr. Ricky
Just on principle i'd argue Queen was...
Primus.
@@jash1281you could add Pink Floyd and AC/DC to the list for great live bands.
@@kgunitkeese17 some‘s forgetting mettallica and linkin park
So happy to see young professionals listening to the previous generation
🥰🥰🥰
Yeah it's nice to see kids listening to the best ERA of music that ever existed bring the 80s and early 90s back except for the grunge.
Cool to see someone reacting and enjoying it as well.
I grew up with Maiden! I was 13 when this came out and it got me through high school! UP THE IRONS!
Thanks Mr. Darth for sharing
Tell me about it, my brother introduced me to Iron Maiden when I was 4. I’m know 47 this band has and always be apart of my life.
Aliyah
Steve Harris, founder of Iron Maiden called Bruce Dickinson as "Human Air Siren". A lot of vocalist and coaches are amazed by Bruce's vocals.
It was not Steve Harris that called him the "human air raid siren." It was a music journalist (not a very good one, apparently, lol;) saying he sounded like an "air raid siren inside a cement mixer", lol, but Iron Maiden, Bruce, Steve, and Rod Smallwood thought it was hysterical🤣😂
Now, that same journalist has a lot of egg on his face, as Bruce Dickinson is the best singer in the best (live;) band in the world😜
Up the mighty Irons!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
P.s. You are correct that everyone with an ear is in awe of Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden as a whole, as they are brilliant, timeless, and living legends🤘
Up the Irons!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for sharing😍
Bruce's inspiration was Ian Gillan of Deep Purple
@@vincentbonfigli2954 he's recently mentioned Ronnie James Dio as well.
Your face tells the story. 🤩 The way I felt the first time I heard this too! Thank you for reacting and making it fresh again for those of us who have loved Maiden for years. We can't go back and hear their songs for the first time but we can experience it through new eyes (and ears). Way to go! Thank you! 🤘❤
Well expressed, brother🤗
Up the mighty Irons🤘🤘🤘🤘
Agreed. That’s why I enjoy reaction videos so much.
Awww thanks so much Mr. Chris, they are amazing and so glad that I was able to react on their performance😍
Spot on. Up The Irons 🤘
I absolutely love Maiden, just a top band. The Brits had it licked when it came to music, so many top bands from the UK, unbelievable for the size of the country.
It's good to see that you are widening your musical horizons and not just sticking to what you are comfortable with, kudos to you.
Thanks so much Mr. Edzel🥰
Bruce (as well as Nikko and the entire band) is criminally underrated and underappreciated. In MY opinion he's on par with Freddie Mercury and Bon Scott as a singer and frontman. Iron Maiden captured my imagination as an 11 year old and here i sit 40+ years later reliving it all thanks to youtube.
Great review and best of luck in your career as well!
Thank you very very much🥰
Underrated? Maiden is one of the best metal band of all time. Pretty much every metal musician site them as one of their inspiration.
Hes not underrated man, he is considered among the best singers of all time and Iron Maiden one of the best and most important bands ever
I'm so happy my generation grew up with this kind of music and I'm so sad generations that followed didn't get to grow with this kind of music. I'm so happy that younger generations are rediscovering this kind of music.
Thanks Mr. Edward
@@AaliyahCapili Thank you : )
That reaction at 9:17 when you realize that guys older than your grandparents rocked harder than anybody out there today is fantastic. You should also check out some of their more recent stuff, because Bruce's voice is still going strong. I'd recommend The Tailsman from their En Vivo live show in 2012, recorded just before Bruce got a throat cancer diagnosis (which he recovered from and is still the same singer today)
Thank you very very much for sharing and for all of your recommendations😍
I agree the talisman you mentioned is impossible to beat 🤘IRONS
Even more so when you find out that lead singer can still do most of what he is doing here. Often powerful voices blow themselves out with overtaxing and poor technique (See Geof Tate from Queensryche for this) These freaking guys are just legends on the stage and off.
There's two types of people in this world. Iron Maiden fans and people who haven't listened to them yet.
😍
Geoff Tate of Queensryche has a great story telling voice as well, in fact, their album Operation:Mindcrime is like a rock opera as the whole album is one big story
Thanks so much for sharing💕
His live version of Take hold of the flame in 84 was unreal..
@@AaliyahCapili Aaliyah, as Mouse states, it is a complete story. The only way to full experience and “hear” the story is to listen to the entire record in sequence. And that goes to anyone listening to this record. Please don’t shuffle this record.
It's top 10 best album of any genre
Take hold of the flame is amazing
That look we all have the first time hearing iron maiden.
😍😍😍
Seen Iron Maiden last year and they blew the roof off the place!! Legends!
😍😍😍
That was 40 years ago and they are still on tour now! Try check out their performances in late 80s, 90s, early 2000 & recent one u’ll appreciate how his voice changes over the years, yes it’s slightly different now but he knows how to control & how to take care of his voice!
Thanks for sharing😍
First, love your smile😊, Bruce came to the band in 1982, , except for a hiatus for several years, has been with Maiden for almost 40 years. He is an iconic vocalist❤🤘
Thanks so much Mr. John
I'm one of iron maiden's biggest fan on the planet... I have to say your such precious innocent smile and general reaction was the best iron maiden reaction I've ever seen. Thank you and you rock yourself.... Much love from Canada!! I hope this video reaches 10 million views!!!
Oh wow thanks so much for your kind words and appreciation, i am truly grateful Mr. Faizan. Wishing you a wonderful day🌺🌺🌺
@@AaliyahCapili if i remember correctly you are 20. so that would make me only 5 years older then you. feel free to call me just faizan =) and not mr ...... congrats on 25k subs you should really consider making a patreon . it will only grow you deserve it.... lets just say in the start takes you a few months to have 500 people on patreon giving 10 dollars a month. thats 5k in your pocket...anyway i am only suggesting coz you have an awesome personality and not just a plank of wood sitting behind a mic... take care i will speak to you later...
@@faizanmckagan2827 Thanks Faizan, Im 19 at the moment and I am planning to have patreon in the near future. Thanks for your kind words and support! I really appreciate it.
Amazing band who have withstood the test of time.
Late 70s, then the 80s 90s 00s 10s and now the 20s still putting on the best live shows you'll see.
6 different decades makes them Britain's greatest band of all🤘🏻🤘🏻
🥰🥰🥰
One of my favorites from them. Both from a musical perspective, as well as a storytelling one.
😍😍😍
Refreshing to see the younger generation enjoy real music.
Thanks so much Mr. William💕
I agree. The new generations will know that Hallowed be Thy name or Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Trooper existed. Iron Maiden's legacy is his complete works.
Saw Iron Maiden in San Diego for the first time last September and completely blew my mind. I always knew of them but after seeing them live WOW AMAZING!! They are truly one of the best bands ever assembled.
Thanks for sharing🥰
I adore Iron Maiden and I am a real metal girl, normally on the groove and trash metal side: you nailed it! Iron Maiden is for me the musical/theater metal cause of their compositions and way of story telling! 🤘❤️
Oh thanks so much Miss Monika💕💕💕
it's more than Music , it's an art , its a story , it's life . Have been hearing for 20 years around and still feels fresh .
🥰
Music is the best art! Music stand alone! At least for me!
Bruce is also highly ranked in the sport of fencing in England and a commercial airline pilot. He flies the band around the world in their own plane. The man is super talented
😍
Uh-Just to bring you up to speed,Bruce has retired from piloting and the planes in question were leased and not owned by the band and the 747 they had leased also has been retired and is no longer in service!
@@kenbongaards554 yes I know I was referring to his history. Good job though
Actually kinda boring Bruce isn’t yelling scream for me
fun fact...Bruce Dickinson was opera trained before he started singing heavy metal
Thanks for sharing Mr. Damian
So glad you enjoyed this song. Your analysis is interesting from a 'different perspective'. Best of luck in your singing career. Sing loud, sing proud, be joyous!
Thanks so much Mr. Jeff
This is arguably their greatest hit among scores of hits. Also, this (Live at Hammersmith '82) is the best show for Bruce's vocals. The only problem is the band's catalog isn't very large in 1982. To see the full scope of Bruce's vocal talent as well as that of the band, try Rime of the Ancient Mariner next. Too many songs to suggest further, but my next 2 favs are Wasted Years & The Number of the Beast (no, it's not a satanic song, though the subject is part of the song).
For other great vocals try Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame (live in Tokyo 1984) & Silent Lucidity, plus Steelheart - She's Gone. Great voices in the metal genre. (Can't remember if you've done these).
Happy belated birthday!!
Thank you very very much for the greetings and for sharing your recommendations, much appreciated always🌺
The theatricals and story-telling in Rime of the Ancient Mariner are excellent. Well, the song is, too - obviously!
@@Malfehzan Definitely agree!
His vocals in Infinite Dreams is probably the best he had ever recorded. I would also say Flight of Icarus or Children of the Damned are next best. Can't forget Invaders or Prisoner. I would strongly suggest any of these songs before Rime. Not that Rime isn't a classic choice, but like The Trooper or Run to the Hills, its all you ever see anyone reacting too. Man, just once would I love to see one of these reactors give Die With Your Boots On or 22 Acacia Avenue a spin.
@@bevil4aday I suggested Rime because it showed more of his vocal spectrum than most of his other works in a single piece of music. The others only show a smaller part of Bruce's talent. It's not likely that reactors will go that deep into their catalog as you suggest, so naming the tunes that show the most is probably the best for a start, then adding more later. But, love those suggestions!
Yes Yes Yeeesssss Aaliyah.. Please keep on going down that rabbit hole... You WON'T regret it i promise. I hope to see you do more live versions of their songs as they are great performers on stage.
Best Regards
From Denmark 😈
Well expressed, my Danish Iron Brother🤗
Up the mighty Irons!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much Mr. Henrik, i will definitely keep on 😍😍😍Warm Greetings to you as well♥️
I've been seeing reactions to the kings of heavy metal for a long time, like IRON MAIDEN in this case. I loved your reaction so much that my eyes misted over with emotion to see such a talented and genuine young lady enjoy so much this incredible band of which I have been a fan since 1982. I congratulate you enormously because it is only for the truly talented and humble, recognize the talent of the greatest of all time and that will make you grow beyond all limits. Greetings from Argentina 🙌👏👏👏❤
Oh wow thanks so much for your kind words, much appreciated. Enjoy your day always😍😍😍
@@AaliyahCapili You're welcome! you fully deserve those words, Greetings! 😍❤
I'm so glad to see that when such a young person is introduced to Iron Maiden - it is during their greatest era, which included Clive Burr on drums and their greatest songs. Great video, and good luck in the future.
Thanks so much💕
What you just saw and heard is why you see Iron Maiden T shirts world wide, they have Millions of fans and have been killing it since 1980. Nice of you to take a look and listen, as another mentioned, Queensryche is another band in the same musical category and their live video, in Tokyo 1984, of Take Hold of the Flame would give you a similar experience and jolt of energy. Thanks for keeping great music alive, no matter when it was made! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Thanks so much Mr. Vic for your recommemdation, much appreciated
The craziest thing about Bruce is, he never had lessons. He pretty much taught himself by practicing and singing in various small bands at school. He just has a natural talent. He did end up having some coaching in 2015 as he recovered from treatment for throat cancer. To go with that powerful voice, he has a massive stage presence, and he says that he makes sure that whatever he does on stage is big so that the people at the back of the crowd can see what he’s doing. The fact that he’s in his 60s now and can still sing in the original key (yes he has to push a little harder, but he still gets up there) says a lot for how well he has looked after his voice (and his body) throughout his career, where other vocalists of his generation have lost it to varying degrees and now sing in lower keys or even completely lower octaves.
May your journey through your own singing career be as long lived, keep studying not just your preferred genre, but others too.
I would suggest looking at Floor Jansen (currently of Nightwish) as inspiration, she has learned many styles of singing and is hugely proficient in all forms of vocalisation.
Thank you very much for sharing, he is truly amazing and inspiring, thanks for your kind words and encouragement, much appreciated♥️
he is a trained opera singer and he did this before he joined maiden.
Bruce is truly the greatest front man of all time.
😍😍😍
LOL. Look at you, headbangin to Iron Maiden like an 80's chick. I saw them live twice, they really were that good.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Michael
Surely one of the greatest live performances ever.
Up the Irons! 🤘🏻
😍😍😍
*That's why they are placed as one of the best classic rock groups of all time. Pretty much pioneers*
Thanks so much for sharing😊💕😊

Welcome to Iron Maiden, it's gonna be a wild ride for you as you check out more from the master's of metal.
Thanks so much Mr. Philip😍
Maiden is just so tight in their playing. Incredible.

Understand the lyrics, understand the story. Both important.
Thanks so much for the feedback Mr. Frank 🌺
@@AaliyahCapili Most welcome Aaliyah, love your reactions. Breath of fresh air..,😏
@@fmillarau You didn't have to end like a weirdo 😅😂
I love seeing people reacting to Iron Maiden and instantly become a fan. I saw them live on Friday in London and they are still amazing.
Wow thanks for sharing
How was Bruce voice?
@@marriusmal he was absolutely spot on! Phenomenal, he was still getting all over the place but maybe he didn’t jump as high as he used to. The voice is still fantastic though. A tour of Senjitsu and old songs from the wasted years era.
They all are in their mid 60’s and still rock as hard as in the old days! Up the irons! 🤘🏻
😍😍😍
The drummer just turned 71 👀
They don't fuck around 🎵🎵🎶🎸👍💯
Thank you for doing the reaction- You are so young yet you recognize GREAT talent- I have been rocking with these guys since I was 16 yrs old- I am almost 50 yrs old- much love young lady
Iron Maiden is pure talent......
Oh thank you very much, they are so amazing🌺
You doing this reaction is so cool...this means IRON MAIDEN are reaching out to the world
Thanks so much Mr. Joe, they are amazing
There are only 2 forms of music that I have any time, interest or appreciation for in any way, shape or form - Metal & Opera. Why? Because of their power to make your reaction!! You appreciate the technical difficulties of both. You respect the creativity & expression of both & you obviously enjoy the magic of both. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you very much for your kind appreciation🌺
@@AaliyahCapili you are more than welcome. Keep up the awesome work & again, thank you for choosing to share your journey with us
This is with their first drummer “Clive Burr” and it’s also before Bruce had his throat cancer surgery and polyps removed. In the years since, he still sings with such amazing vocal talent. His voice is almost operatic within an incredible heavy metal format. They have always been incredible to watch and to listen to. 💪😉👏👏👏🇦🇺
He is so amazing and the rest of the band too😍😍😍
Clive timing was incredible.
I saw Clive play in Maiden twice in the early 80’s and he was a phenomenal drummer, and a perfectionist. His timing was impeccable. OMG I love Nicko’s drumming, but I am old school. I really do love both drummers but if I had to choose, Clive would be my choice, 😉👏❤@@johndubois8228
I totally agree with you John, Clive was an amazing drummer 🥁 @@johndubois8228
Notice he's allways very grounded on stage legs wide etc. He's IN the stage.
Thanks so much for sharing, he is so amazing
First reaction I’ve seen where the last “Hallowed be thy name” is clearly recognized.
“Running looowww” gets most of the attention due to the length, change in pitch and as a lead in to the tempo change.
But at the end, after all that, he pulls off an epic belt of the title….
The man, and band, are legendary.
They are so amazing and so great😍😍😍
You're listening to one of the anthems of heavy metal.
Glad to see you're enjoying this, as we did when we first heard Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson is special.
😍
This is my favourite Maiden song, gives me a bit of tears in my eyes each time, Dickinson is an awesome singer
U should listen to the lyrics too though, it is quite chilling.. it is the story of a man sentenced to death by hanging and the lyrics are his thoughts on his way to the gallows pole
It starts with "Waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime...", he hears the bells announcing it is the time for him
Many metal bands have a very good story or a message
Thanks so much for sharing💕
I’m subscribing simply because you reacted to this epic, classic song. I can tell you were completely into it. Keep reacting to great metal bands; your number of subscribers will blow up.
Thanks so much Mr. Charlie, much appreciated
Really cool reaction - very cool that you can be yourself when seeing something new. Thank you. Keep it up!
Thanks for your kind words🌺♥️🌺
Thanks for your reaction. Bruce Dickinson is a legend and so is Iron Maiden. You couldn't find a better song and a better performance for your reaction. Keep on rockin' young woman... up the irons !!! ^^
Thank you very much for sharing💕
This is probably my favorite Iron Maiden song, when I was young I had no passion for music at all but when I first heard Iron Maiden play I fell in love with music. Back then, if you were someone who listened to this music, where I grew up you were seen as a weirdo, but today it's great to see that so many young people have the open-mindedness to appreciate the brilliance of this fantastic band.
Thanks so much for sharing
After your spine warms up from the chill of hearing his voice, go back and focusing on the lyrics for a second chill!
Thanks for this recommendation, i will definitely do😍
Welcome to Our Music! I'm glad you can appreciate how good this music truely is!
♥️♥️♥️
This is probably their best performance ever. Equivalent to Deep Purple's "Made in Japan", in terms how much this elevates the original studio material to new levels. They have never reached the standards of this particular live ever again to my recollection, and this says A LOT, since they are an astounding live band in general
Thanks so much for sharing
Loved your reaction. You seemed to be really enjoying all aspects of the song
Thanks so much, i really enjoyed it😍
Watching a young person fully appreciate Bruce is so much fun for those of us that grew up with him. Also the band is fucking amazing!!!
Bon voyage young lady
Thanks so much for sharing
Maiden still tours. Bruce still sounds amazing. I never miss a show when they were in Jersey. You need to see them live. It’s an experience. Go before they are no longer touring. You won’t regret it.
Thanks so much for your recommendation and for sharing💕
Been playing this album since mid-90s, Bruce's vocals are timeless... Cool seeing their talent get cred among non-metalheads!
😍😍😍
Love your reaction. Bruce was my first childhood crush 😂❤ he's my favourite singer until today😊
Thanks for sharing😍
How he holds the notes is amazing especially that he does that while spending lot of energy running around the stage.
😍😍😍
Usually on tour for months two to three times a week. And don't forget the lifestyle.
Glad you watched a performance from when he was in his prime. He's still shockingly great for his age, but he was almost superhuman back then in '83
Thanks again for sharing Mr. Jenkins
Nice reaction🇸🇪, still my favorite song by Iron maiden....I remeber the live performence 1984 in Gutenburg....
Thanks for sharing😍
This Song is from the 1982 Album : Number of the Beast - 2023 is Iron Maiden Headliner at the Wacken Open Air in Germany , the Last 40 years is this Song part of the Liveset
Thanks for sharing🥰
Yes yes yes finally more Maiden please
Thanks so much, i will definitely do♥️♥️♥️
Bruce Dickinson has an operatic voice. This is 1 of the songs Iron Maiden often plays in concerts.
BD influenced Geoffrey Tate, ex lead singer of Queensryche.
Suggested videos 📹: 1 Iron Maiden performs Run to the Hills. 2 Queensryche performs I Don't Believe in Love. 💔
Thanks so much for sharing, i will definitely check it out too🌺
I'm amazed at your openess to explore other genres. That in itself is what we need more of today.
😍
I saw them live and even though they are older now they all still play/sing amazing I am so happy I saw them
They are amazing
You must to see and hear ... Queensryche - take hold of the flame , live tokio 1984 ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
Thanks so much, i will definitely do💕
@@AaliyahCapili 😊👍
I love your reactions! Another great vocalist with great storytelling is Ronnie James Dio. He has so many great performances. A good one to start with would be when he was fronting the band Rainbow and performing “Stargazer.”
Thanks so much Mr. Pete for sharing
🌴fr Guam 🌴it is truly a beautiful thing watching u evolve out of your comfort zone Sonically 👍🏽🤟🏽👏👏Bravo chika🌴
Thanks so much Mr. Al🥰
What's impressive is that metal bands like this, especially back then, used nearly no studio technology tricks to make a singer seem more impressive than in reality. Live shows by Iron Maiden were always amazing. (If you have them coming around your area on tour, go see it ! You have to see a Maiden show before the band retire, it is mandatory metal.)
🥰🥰🥰
Metal is our OPERA. Welcome to Rock n Roll.😎🎸🎸🎸🎸
🥰🥰🥰
@@AaliyahCapili I didn't think you'd get back to me, thanks.:))
Saw him at the age of 61 after throat cancer and he sounded the same, I couldnt beleive my ears
Thanks for sharing🥰
I love how on every reaction to this song 2:29 is "hooooly SHIT!!" and 11:21 is like "ERROR..Brain malfunctioning.." lol
😍😍😍
Love seeing when you dive into some metal. Maiden is in a class by themselves and should be experienced as live videos. Nearly every song has historical significance or is poetry broken down and explained in their own ways. Keep looking into them, you'll enjoy it.
Well expressed and very true🤗
Up the mighty Irons!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much🥰💕🥰
I saw them on this tour in 1982 the Beast on the Road, go see them live and they don’t disappoint. I’ve seen them so many times.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Michael🥰
It’s a beautiful thing seeing young people discovering rock music. Your face said it all. It will be under your skin for the rest of your life.
Thanks so much Mr. John, they are amazing
Some fun facts about Bruce Dickinson.
He is entirely self-taught. One of the most amusing comments on that fact that I have ever heard was when he launched his autobiography "What does this button do" in 2017 and at the launch event did a Q&A session. The best question by far was: "After your recent treatment for throat cancer (which was actually in 2015), did you have any vocal coaching, and if so, how much did they learn from you?". Following this successful treatment he not only regained his voice, but also his fitness to the standard of regaining his Airline Transport Pilot's Licence Flight Crew Medical Certificate at the age of 58, leasing a Boeing 747-400 through his aviation business, and taking the Captain's seat, piloting the band himself on a world tour - an upgrade to his previous type rating for the 757/767. The upsizing was necessary to haul the band, crew, and all the stage set, lighting and PA equipment required for stadium scale shows. He was invited to try out for the British Olympic fencing team (he was at one time rated 7th in the Uk in the sport, despite it being a very part-time hobby), but decided he didn't have time, but still fenced recreationally, often taking time on tour to train with teams around the world (fencing is a sport in which you improve by competing against a wide variety of opponents, not just a small group who rapidly learn each others' favourite moves, and any signs they may give away their intentions by). He has trained with national teams all over the world, and several competitors have commented that he gave them some of the hardest contests in their experience, including Olympic medalists. He also flies aerobatically (which requires huge core strength) and owns a genuine Spitfire and a replica Fokker Dr.1 Triplane, both of which he was display qualified in until fairly recently at least. A serious aerobic pilot experiences rapid changes in g forces ranging from positive six to nine (depending on if a specialised G suit is worn) to negative three to five. Those are multiples of gravitational force, so at 6g you weigh six times your normal weight and extreme core straining is needed to keep the blood from pooling in your legs, so it is absolutely brutal on core strength - you have to literally squeeze the blood to your brain by clenching all leg and core muscles to prevent loss of consciousness, which is discouraged in pilots. But he was doing it into at least his early 60s (he is 64 now and still going strong). This recording is from over 40 years ago now!
Back in the days not long after this was recorded, one of his almost trademark moves when running around the stage was to leap from the gallery (which runs around most of their more recent sets behind the drummer and around to the front on both wings of the stage) right OVER the drummer and entire drumkit, landing with a forward roll and up to standing, without missing a beat. That is about 3M forwards before a 2M drop from a standing start, so probably a couple more metres during the descent part. And he keeps it up for a whole 90-minute set. So yes, he has always had and maintained immense core strength and stamina!
There is a lot more besides that, too, but this comment is probably already too long!
Just to bring everyboy up to speed,Bruce is no longer piloting,had to retire due to FAA regulations,and i'm very sad to report that the 747 they had used on the Book of Souls tour has been officially retired and is no longer in service!All Hail to QUEEN and Up The Irons!!!
@@kenbongaards554 What does the FAA have to do with the licence of a pilot issued by a foreign country? He has never flown under FAA regulations, beyond complying with those applicable to foreign pilots' behaviour and actions while in the US. The 747 may have been retired but that was only on lease anyway.
@@phillee2814 I think that if a pilot flies internationally all FAA regulations apply to all pilots,I'll look in to it
@@kenbongaards554 Only if they are piloting a US registered aircraft - I have looked into it, as I was in exactly that position but not with such an advanced licence.
@@phillee2814 Ah ok that's good to know
Iron Maiden is amazing .. besides Bruce's vocal skill, this band is unmatched in their songwriting, and tightness. I would suggest several more songs from the beast album as well as the 3 that followed..
Thanks so much for your recommendation🥰
Never trust a person who not like iron maiden.

My beloved band, legendary immortal song and a very cute charming girl.
Thanks so mucj🌺🌺🌺
Yes young lady that is how it is done!
Yes I was very impressed!
I believe Adrian Smith and Dave Murray were the guitarists for this gig at Hammersmith.
Thanks for sharing
Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, and Ronnie James Dio... can't go wrong with them.
🥰
I just seen two of your reactions with Iron Maiden and I actually love how intrigued you are by then. Thank you for taking your time to just realize how amazing of a band they are! I would like to suggest looking up the singer Mike Patton if you haven't already done it. He sings in several different bands (Faith no more, tomahawk, Mr bungle, fantomas). I suggest listening to one of those bands, And then listening to his Mondo cane album. You will definitely see some range. Take care, and keep listening to music you don't know
Hello Mr. Michael, thank you very much for taking the time to share and your recommendations too🥰have a great week🌺
Best band in the world.
😍😍😍
Every single song of this band is a pure story it also sometimes refers to a historical character like : Alexander the Great or Gengis Khan for instance...Steve Harris knows what he is doing.... ( Bruce too of course !)
😍
Bruce's voice is absolutely amazing. He's been operatically trained, which is how he's able to do all those things effortlessly. He's also a pilot and brewer among other things, led a very interesting life.
Thanks so much for sharing💕
When you sing I hear angels.
Thanks so much
If you want to try one more from Maiden, make it 'The Talisman', performed in front of 50,000 Chileans, from the En Vivo DVD.
Thanks so much for sharing, i will definitely check it out too
Ciao Aaliyah, adoro i tuoi video! Complimenti, sei bravissima e bellissima 🤗❤️
Thank you very much Mr. Stefano💕🌺💕
Her facials expressions are the best.
Thank you so much🥰
09:15 - another face melted by this solo!
Cheers and keep rockong, miss.
Thanks super much😍
Please more Maiden! Their catalog is so vast so anything will do, but I quite like "Pashendale" or "When the Wild Wind Blows"
Seriously, how good is "When the wild winds blows".?! Especially live🤗
and how well done, spooky, sad, and moving is Paschendale and the story they tell about it!?! I mean,...wow😳
Up the mighty Irons!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much for all of your recommendations
Fear of the dark live, 666 tour.
Another iconic song is " The talisman" woww ✨ Bruce' s vocal is insane!!
Great reaction. Bruce was the best rock singer from 1980 until 1983. Unfortunately the continuous tours had a negative effect on his voice. From 1997 until 2013, his voice "returned" . If you like theatrical performances, you must check "dance of death" live from en vivo (The Most theatrical performance by Bruce at his 55 ) "The Talisman" from the same venue (Probably the best ever vocal performance from him) and "The Clansman" live in rock in rio 2001 ( the most energetic performance)
I agree with everything except with Bruce losing his voice as ALL of his solo stuff from the 90s through to a cross over with Maiden on the Brave New World 1999 (great album) and the follow up album Dance of Death and Bruces last solo album in Tyranny of Souls(2005), which is a fcuking great album, with truly great songs and Bruce's great voice.
Tears of the Dragon from the early 90s is one of the best songs Bruce Dickinson has ever made, period😉
Bruce sounds fantastic on all of his six solo albums, as he does on all of the albums he is on with the mighty Iron Maiden😜
Up the mighty Irons!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much for sharing Mr. Bruce, much appreciated♥️
I saw them multiple times in the mid 80s to early 90s, he still had his voice. Also, when you give the 80-83 period, you might have forgotten about Rob Halford (check out Victim of Changes live from ~82). I also have seen them multiple times. Two beasts in their own way.
@@geetee2694 on somewhere on tour for example Bruce had no power in his voice. Also check the performance on donington 1988. As for Rob ..i don't like his vocal color
"I don't know a lot about guitars, but that was an awesome guitar solo." Yes! you are correct. lol
🥰
The best of any genre of music is where a story is told 😉 something totally lost in today's music including hard earned talent
Thanks for sharing your feedback🌺
One of the most impressive things about Bruce Dickinson's singing is that he's still able to sing like this for live performances despite having battled through throat cancer. It's a testament to how great of a singer he really is.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Harley
