maiden songs? Fear of the dark, number of the beast, run to the hills, Powerslave, The evil that men do, 2 minutes to midnight, Afraid to shoot strangers and Aces high jumps to mind immediately. So many years, so many albums... hard to pick a favorite
Helloo , I will recommend "Fear of the Dark" some live version probably from Santiago de Chile is the best. Just for a little info I am so proud that i saw them life in 1995 and this year both concerts in Bucharest.
As other's have said, Fear of the Dark is a great one, as are Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Number of the Beast. Great music all around. If you want more of a deep cut, check out Run to the Hills.
@@carthuscrass2343 Perhaps. Here in Sweden you either hear run to the hills, or the number of the beast on radio when they rarely play maiden at all... Occasionally you could hear 2 minutes to midnight and the trooper too, but not that often.
Fear Of The Dark, Ancient Mariner, Sign Of The Cross, The Trooper, The Clansman, Children Of The Damned, Afraid To Shoot Strangers. Always live with Iron Maiden as with Nightwish.
I've seen Iron Maiden live MANY times...its my boyfriends favorite band of all time. This band is phenomenal live!!!Bruce's voice is unbelievable and the band completely rocks out!!😃love your new view on metal & your open mindedness.great reaction!!!😄
Great reaction! A few more song suggestions (all live): Rime of the Ancient Mariner The Clansman Seventh son of a seventh son Dream of Mirrors The Evil that men do Aces high
This is probably the most popular Iron Maiden song. The next is probably Fear of the Dark, needs to be played live (Do live at Rio) Maiden didn't get much radio play, they got popular from their great music and their extensive touring.

Greeting for Iowa, USA. Like Sabaton, Iron Maiden have done numerous songs that cover historical events. I would recommend these: Alexander the Great - Title pretty much says it all. The Trooper - Charge of the light brigade in the 1854 Crimea War Aces High - 1940 Battle of Britain The Clansman - William Wallace versus the British The Longest Day - 1944 invasion of Normandy Invaders - 10th century Viking invasion (warning, lots of gore) I would also recommend Fear of the Dark. Stay safe and well.
One exception on the live songs. My favourite song, Alexander the Great, as far as I know is and never will be played live. The official video and song are more then worth it to react to (use with lyrics!)
What a wonderfull reaction to one of my favourite bands. But if you like melodic metal may i suugest you try rainbow with stargazer. keep up making these great authentic reactions. love you guys Up the irons
Ah cool... I've been watching your Nightwish reactions, and only last night was I wondering if you'd start with Iron Maiden. Excellent. I'd recommend Fear of the Dark (Live Flight 666).... this version is far better than the Rock in Rio version which is often recommended, in my opinion.
Maiden released a new album last year and are currently touring, so still going strong - concerts have generations of fans, so plenty of people walking around young and old with Maiden gear. 😉
The automated subtitles are hilarious ;-) ("I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime" becomes "I'm waiting in my old sound when the all begins to shine")
REACT TO THIS SONGS OF IRON MAIDEN 'THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER'LIVE FLIGHT 666,THE TROOPER LIVE IN CHILE,DANCE OF DEATH LIVE IN CHILE,THE CLANSMAN LIVE RIO,FEAR OF THE DARK LIVE IN RIO 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦.
You should always do the live-versions from their 666-live. I think you will love The rime of the ancient mariner and Powerslave from the 666-live, phenomenal!
Running Free, Powerslave, Wratchchild, Wasted Years, Aces High, Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Run to the Hills. There’s way too many songs and they are all amazing. Maiden is such a great live band. I’ve seen them many times and it’s been epic each time 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Congratulations on discovering the majesty of Iron Maiden! I've been listening to them for nearly 40 years and they are still my favourite band. Their music is quintessentially metal but I have met Goths, Punks, Rockers, Shoegazers and even Rappers who love their work. You can't beat good song writing irrespective of genre.
Greetings and Love from Germany again. Wow, thanks alot for Maiden. I'm a MaidenManiac since 1985. You should try next their song "Dance Of Death" live from Chile 2011. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/GoBok1xd93M/видео.html Thanks and stay safe, my friends 💚 UP THE IRONS ✌
Ah, the masters of metal! Great reaction, would love to see you do 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' Flight 666 live version, it's epic and has some of the best guitar solos near the end :) Subbed!
And another rabbit hole is found :) So many great songs to delve into. You may have heard them on the radio in Europe, here heavy metal at that time very rarely maid mainstream daytime radio and there were no dedicated rock stations. If you've heard them at all then it would probably be something like The Trooper, Flight Of Icarus or Aces High. I'd highly recommend Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, based on the poem of the same name by Coleridge.
I´m 52yrs now and I remember like yesterday the first time when I heard Iron Maiden. It was winter 1981 and their second album Killers. Amazing band! And yet another band with one mastermind like Nightwish, this time it´s bassist Steve Harris (and Steve likes Nightwish very much!). Here you can see amazing drummer Clive Burr in action. Great stuff. Great reaction, thanks a lot!
Great choice there guys! Iron Maiden always make good people happy! I saw them live a month ago and they were as spectacular as ever! Please react to some more of them. And always live versions. And to answer the question, yes it is the same music day after day in their concerts and songs that they know how to play in their sleep BUT it is never exactly the same. There are so many variables to a live concert. The band can be at its best or it can be tired or in foul mood, the crowd can be amazing or kind of meh....so many variables. So it is never the exact same thing. That's why some performances are better than others. It is live music. It is so unpredictable as it is to wake up everyday and go on with your life. We repeat certain things but it is never the same. I hope my huge answer helped a little. 😛
hellow Merchant og Alba thank you for reacting to iron maiden; first time i heard Iron Maiden was i 1987. love this band. greetings from Denmark. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome one guys . Welcome to the Iron maiden family this would have to be one of their best songs and everybody is on point from the singer🎤, guitarist 🎸, drummer 🥁, Bass player🎸. I truly love this song from a musicians point of view on musicianship and how well everybody in this video performs considering how old the song is (coming up to 50yrs old and still going). The amazing thing about this song is we listen to the song from start to finish but never get told of what the crime is , it is just left out in the open for us to decide which is interesting.nice reaction guys love it.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥝🇳🇿
UP THE IRONS !! Well chosen.......another nice Rabbithole to dive down 🙂 More of them ? Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, The Evil that Man do, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High...ohh...and all the others....There is soo much... Good Choice ! This is Heavy Metal at its best ! And very good that you are open-minded enough that you try this stuff...as you say...Metal is more than just Noise...most of the time. Maiden is a very good example for that....Most of the Metal-Fans are more open minded than you think...
Dominica you are BANG ON I have been a complete idiot for years. I've had the same thoughts about heavy metal. I had no interest thinking it was a complete myriad of nonsense. O HOW WRONG I WAS. NIGHTWISH AC/DC BLACK SABBATH DIO WITHIN TEMPTATION the list goes on and on in truth I've been a SNOB. There music is some of the best I've ever heard. Great reaction as always.
Yes I was the 666th like. How METAL is that and listening to a song from the album The Number of the Beast. "Up the IRONS!" and welcome to the MAIDEN family.🤘🤘
And after 2008 they had their own Boing 757 to goes to concerts in the whole world. At 2011 their own Jumbo Jet (Boing 747) and Bruce (the singer) was the pilot. But this video ist very old but good!
Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Back to the Village, The Trooper, Sign of the Cross, For the Greater Good of God, Alexander the Great, Sea of Madness, Still Life, Writing on the Wall, Time Machine, Death of the Celts, Hell on Earth, The Number of the Beast, The Prisoner, The Clansman, The Longest Day, Empire of the Clouds, If Eternity Should Fail, Speed of Light, and many many more. The live versions are kickass but the studio versions are my pick but for reactions I’d play both
I've been following you lovely people on your Nightwish journey and very happy you've found Iron Maiden too. They are fellow Londoners and I saw them on this particular tour. Other popular songs - 'Run to the Hills' , 'The Trooper', '2 minutes to Midnight' , 'Aces High' and many more! Bruce Dickinson is a great guy and superb singer admired world wide. He is a qualified pilot and has flown the big Boeing Iron Maiden plane from Country to Country on world tours! Keep up the good work. 😃 🙂
the name was taken from a medieval torture instrument called an IRON MAIDEN. bruce dickinson the singer is a pilot. he has is own full size aeroplane with IRON MAIDEN written on the side
for what you said in the begining the band started in 1972 became "know" in england ind the last part of the 1975 begining of the 1976 and became know to the word in the 80S years!
Metal minds are like classical music minds, in terms of criativity using complex instrumental that nobody else does,,, metal use a lot of classic music inspiration, a lot of metal singers have classical training two, thats why bands like Nightwish, Iron Maiden, Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Avantasia etc...exist .. And also rock and metal combine very welll with classical instruments... Metallica, Scorpions, Alter Bridge... and many other use orchestras in the back and its just epic---
I saw them on this tour. Iron maiden my second favorite band . Next to the best band of all time. You might of heard of them, Black Sabbath. Godfathers of metal hallowed be thy name y favorite Maiden song ever ever. Masterpiece.
iron maiden started heavy metal?....have you never heard of led zeppelin, deep purple, black sabbath, wishbone ash, ufo, ...all these bands, were establishes, well over 10 years beffore iron maiden
A few song suggestions for you. There's dance of death and talisman. Both from the en vivo concert. Rime of the ancient mariner and aces high. Both from flight 666 Run to the hills and fear of the dark from rock in rio 2001 Enjoy 😊
Maiden has been and IMO will Always be on top of Metal Mountain. Songs on the radio were Flight of Icarus, Two Minutes to Midnight, The Trooper, Can I Play with Madness we're probably played the most.
Well, this was a song from 1982 from a gig in 1982. I recommend you as next the song "Fear of the dark" from 1991 in one of the live versions which are on youtube and then a newer song called "When the wild wind blows" in a fantastic live version from Chile. There are so many extraodinary songs in the long career of Iron Maiden, but these from me highly recomended ones will show the genius of Iron Maidens metal style perfectly.
It is not a silly question it actually is a very good intelligent question. Not every night is the same. Obviously the more you practice and get your routine down the better your odds are of pulling it off. Some performances won't be quite as good as others, we're all human after all. This is a big part of the reason most of today's music is shit. It's overproduction, autotunes and lacking in the human element which is not perfect. A group or musician that plays music for real and sounds good or great consistently night after night is the apitomy true hard work and talent. This is certainly lacking in this time and age. Great reaction guys.
Children of the damned, fear of the dark, afraid to shoot strangers, and (the evil that man do)/list goes on an and on . Loving your channel, people discovering metal is such a moving thing for me, since most people I encounter in work or life in general has that view that it's just noise (granted, some of it is noise). Seeing people discover the beauty that for me has been obvious since childhood (thanks to my friends older brothers). It's captivating, and beautiful. There's so much to discover, and it feelslike you're both going to keep on that journey even without the react part of it, and thats also beautiful. But thanks for letting us tag along for the ride.
there is a lot of styles in metal, your followers just shows you the "light" side of metal. Nightwish, Sabaton, Iron Maiden but there is also a lot of other metal, that is made for other moods and feelings "Shadow of Intent" , a band which called themselves a "darkened symphonical Deathcore" band when they recorded "Malediction" - and they made a music video too which is what i ask you to react to :) link: ruclips.net/video/A3fBD9xjqac/видео.html i know this is not an usual request, this kind of music is a lot harder in any meaning, but that symphonical elements together with Deathcore opened a whole new universe for me to dive in and enjoy ... maybe this happens to you or some followers
for what the woman said in the begining there is many type of metal heavy have a hight basis of classical music so sure it will have melody, there is MANY band that have that what you must be speaking of in the "metal" style might be more "new trasj metal" ( like pantera), death metal or grindcore metal! Like i said you might think all metal style are the same but that something completely false for exemple you could try gothic metal like "type o negative" ("love you to death" for exemple) or wagnerian rock like "meat load" ( for exemple "i would do anything for love") and if you like melody you will like it ( after for type o negative peter steele the singer/bassist had a very deep voice so try if you like deep voices)!
Iron Maiden it's not only very influential, they are the MOST influential and biggest (in terms of quality) heavy metal band of all time. Of course, theres the older and equally important and influential bands like Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, but Iron Maiden is the band that defined the genre for good. Some can say Metallica is bigger, but only in sales and those sales are just because they sold themselves to the mainstream and become the heavy metal band for non metal people, reaching a public that are not exactly metal supporters.
Dominika, you were wondering how many youngsters actually know Iron Maiden. I would say: a lot. Iron Maiden concerts tend to be family events for some. By that I mean that you can find parents with kids as young as 10 years old on the concerts. Three weeks ago I was on the concert in Warsaw and beside me there was a father with, I would say, 12 yo son. The young one rocked hard!
I love Iron since I was 15 (i'm 53 now) and for the first time in my life I saw them a few days ago, here in Portugal, and it was the show of my life. After seing Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, I only want to see Nightwish so I can die in peace. Great reviews as always.
Some say practice until you get right a true artist will say practice until you can't get it wrong... Essentially saying start where everyone else stops ..Go farther do more..
Such a beautiful couple! I really enjoyed rockin out with you two kids!!! Kidding aside, I’m so here to observe your journey into the wonderful world of Metal . Please more Jinjer… really really such a talented beautiful band from Ukraine. Looking forward to more metal!!!
how do they do it. skill from long playing and long playing together. rehearse. they are very rigid about no booze or drugs before a show show always comes first.
Iron maiden is a deep rabbit hole, song suggestions? Clansman, blood brothers, when the wild wind blows, dance of death empire of the clouds , sign of the cross, Alexander the great, rime of the ancient mariner, etc etc etc, live versions are best
Someone earlier in the comments said they still tour and they do! I am seeing them in October here in Tampa, Florida. Crazy that I seen them in like 1987 or around that time, in Lakeland Florida and now seeing them again 35 years later.
I tell you guys, more so than most bands that have been around for so long...IM has not lost much of their abilities. The vocalist sounds virtually the same now. Listen to a recent live performance.
maiden songs? Fear of the dark, number of the beast, run to the hills, Powerslave, The evil that men do, 2 minutes to midnight, Afraid to shoot strangers and Aces high jumps to mind immediately. So many years, so many albums... hard to pick a favorite
Brother I can’t pick a favorite.
For post ‘80s and ‘90s Maiden, A Matter of Life and Death is my absolute favorite album.
All I can say Donington 1988 and Rhyme....
I've been listening to Iron Maiden since the early 80s and it's extremely hard to pick a favorite because they're all outstanding
For The Greater Good Of God is a epic song
Helloo , I will recommend "Fear of the Dark" some live version probably from Santiago de Chile is the best. Just for a little info I am so proud that i saw them life in 1995 and this year both concerts in Bucharest.
As other's have said, Fear of the Dark is a great one, as are Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Number of the Beast. Great music all around. If you want more of a deep cut, check out Run to the Hills.
Run to the hills a deep cut?... It's the most commercially played maiden song.
@@Noksivs Weird. I have never heard it any time that I didn't play it myself. Regional thing maybe?
@@carthuscrass2343 Perhaps. Here in Sweden you either hear run to the hills, or the number of the beast on radio when they rarely play maiden at all... Occasionally you could hear 2 minutes to midnight and the trooper too, but not that often.
Fear Of The Dark, Ancient Mariner, Sign Of The Cross, The Trooper, The Clansman, Children Of The Damned, Afraid To Shoot Strangers. Always live with Iron Maiden as with Nightwish.
Also, rest in peace Clive Burr, your contribution to this amazing band lives on. Thank you 🤘
I've seen Iron Maiden live MANY times...its my boyfriends favorite band of all time. This band is phenomenal live!!!Bruce's voice is unbelievable and the band completely rocks out!!😃love your new view on metal & your open mindedness.great reaction!!!😄
Great reaction! A few more song suggestions (all live):
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The Clansman
Seventh son of a seventh son
Dream of Mirrors
The Evil that men do
Aces high
The smiles on your faces say it all....
Great song, great reaction. For more melody, harmonies and good vocals i would recommend Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys.

Greeting for Iowa, USA.
Like Sabaton, Iron Maiden have done numerous songs that cover historical events. I would recommend these:
Alexander the Great - Title pretty much says it all.
The Trooper - Charge of the light brigade in the 1854 Crimea War
Aces High - 1940 Battle of Britain
The Clansman - William Wallace versus the British
The Longest Day - 1944 invasion of Normandy
Invaders - 10th century Viking invasion (warning, lots of gore)
I would also recommend Fear of the Dark.
Stay safe and well.
Nice List! I think Senjutsu form their 2021 album of the same name should be added to that list along with Paschendale
One exception on the live songs. My favourite song, Alexander the Great, as far as I know is and never will be played live. The official video and song are more then worth it to react to (use with lyrics!)
What a wonderfull reaction to one of my favourite bands. But if you like melodic metal may i suugest you try rainbow with stargazer. keep up making these great authentic reactions. love you guys Up the irons
Ah cool... I've been watching your Nightwish reactions, and only last night was I wondering if you'd start with Iron Maiden. Excellent. I'd recommend Fear of the Dark (Live Flight 666).... this version is far better than the Rock in Rio version which is often recommended, in my opinion.
This one?

Maiden released a new album last year and are currently touring, so still going strong - concerts have generations of fans, so plenty of people walking around young and old with Maiden gear. 😉
Queensryche “take hold of the flame” Japan 1984. Vocals will knock your socks off. (That note he hits is an E5)
One of the best live tracks you will ever see, amazing.
The automated subtitles are hilarious ;-) ("I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime" becomes "I'm waiting in my old sound when the all begins to shine")

Great reaction. There is a message in Heavy Metal. It's been overlooked for decades. Great writing !
Not just message, great melodies, great musicians, great musicianship, a lot of skill and creativity
You should always do the live-versions from their 666-live. I think you will love The rime of the ancient mariner and Powerslave from the 666-live, phenomenal!
You guys would love Rime of the ancient Mariner! Live or Fear of the dark live from iron maiden!
if you like intricate songs on guitar - try live Steve Vai - For the love of God or Tender Surrender.....
Running Free, Powerslave, Wratchchild, Wasted Years, Aces High, Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Run to the Hills. There’s way too many songs and they are all amazing. Maiden is such a great live band. I’ve seen them many times and it’s been epic each time 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Empire of the clouds, hell on earth, Alexander the Great, Ghost of the navigator, for the greater good of God, when the wild wind blows... so many
Try some Iron Maiden live Videos, Fear of the Dark or Dance of Death
Congratulations on discovering the majesty of Iron Maiden! I've been listening to them for nearly 40 years and they are still my favourite band. Their music is quintessentially metal but I have met Goths, Punks, Rockers, Shoegazers and even Rappers who love their work. You can't beat good song writing irrespective of genre.
Try Rime of the Ancient Marianor or Dance of Death En Vivo to name just a few.
Greetings and Love from Germany again. Wow, thanks alot for Maiden. I'm a MaidenManiac since 1985. You should try next their song "Dance Of Death" live from Chile 2011. Here's the link:

Thanks and stay safe, my friends 💚 UP THE IRONS ✌
This band still tours. Saw them in the 80's. And saw them 2 years ago. They haven't lost a step. Find their tour schedule. Go see them.
You need a longer journey with Maiden.Try Rime of the ancient mariner next.Great reaction.Up the Irons!
Song- 22 Acacia ave.
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner live flight 666
Ah, the masters of metal! Great reaction, would love to see you do 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' Flight 666 live version, it's epic and has some of the best guitar solos near the end :) Subbed!
The look of pure joy on your faces is priceless!
Lol the subtitles were SO BAD
Next react iron maiden wasted years
Second time I saw Maiden was on this tour, a few days before this when they played in Bristol UK 🤘
And another rabbit hole is found :) So many great songs to delve into. You may have heard them on the radio in Europe, here heavy metal at that time very rarely maid mainstream daytime radio and there were no dedicated rock stations. If you've heard them at all then it would probably be something like The Trooper, Flight Of Icarus or Aces High. I'd highly recommend Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, based on the poem of the same name by Coleridge.
I´m 52yrs now and I remember like yesterday the first time when I heard Iron Maiden. It was winter 1981 and their second album Killers. Amazing band! And yet another band with one mastermind like Nightwish, this time it´s bassist Steve Harris (and Steve likes Nightwish very much!). Here you can see amazing drummer Clive Burr in action. Great stuff. Great reaction, thanks a lot!
Great choice there guys! Iron Maiden always make good people happy! I saw them live a month ago and they were as spectacular as ever! Please react to some more of them. And always live versions.
And to answer the question, yes it is the same music day after day in their concerts and songs that they know how to play in their sleep BUT it is never exactly the same. There are so many variables to a live concert. The band can be at its best or it can be tired or in foul mood, the crowd can be amazing or kind of meh....so many variables. So it is never the exact same thing. That's why some performances are better than others. It is live music. It is so unpredictable as it is to wake up everyday and go on with your life. We repeat certain things but it is never the same. I hope my huge answer helped a little. 😛

thank you for reacting to iron maiden; first time i heard Iron Maiden was i 1987.
love this band. greetings from Denmark.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You should listen to that. A Rammstein cover. It's legendary.
Apocalyptica - 'Seemann' feat. Nina Hagen (Official Video) (Rammstein Cover) ruclips.net/video/v-YzdvmD2aQ/видео.html
Rime of the ancian mariner... Live.. but more actually . Top performance... Son.. music.. you need see that
Awesome one guys . Welcome to the Iron maiden family this would have to be one of their best songs and everybody is on point from the singer🎤, guitarist 🎸, drummer 🥁, Bass player🎸. I truly love this song from a musicians point of view on musicianship and how well everybody in this video performs considering how old the song is (coming up to 50yrs old and still going). The amazing thing about this song is we listen to the song from start to finish but never get told of what the crime is , it is just left out in the open for us to decide which is interesting.nice reaction guys love it.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥝🇳🇿
There’s two guitarists and the song turned 40 in March 2022
Just discovered you both this evening. Liked, subscribed. You’re intelligent, insightful, clearly love each other. Great fun for me. Thanks.
Best version of this Classic: Live 1985 World Slavery Tour....!!
UP THE IRONS !! Well chosen.......another nice Rabbithole to dive down 🙂
More of them ? Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, The Evil that Man do, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High...ohh...and all the others....There is soo much...
Good Choice ! This is Heavy Metal at its best !
And very good that you are open-minded enough that you try this stuff...as you say...Metal is more than just Noise...most of the time. Maiden is a very good example for that....Most of the Metal-Fans are more open minded than you think...
Dominica you are BANG ON I have been a complete idiot for years. I've had the same thoughts about heavy metal. I had no interest thinking it was a complete myriad of nonsense.
O HOW WRONG I WAS.
NIGHTWISH
AC/DC
BLACK SABBATH
DIO
WITHIN TEMPTATION
the list goes on and on in truth I've been a SNOB.
There music is some of the best I've ever heard.
Great reaction as always.
Yes I was the 666th like. How METAL is that and listening to a song from the album The Number of the Beast. "Up the IRONS!" and welcome to the MAIDEN family.🤘🤘
And after 2008 they had their own Boing 757 to goes to concerts in the whole world. At 2011 their own Jumbo Jet (Boing 747) and Bruce (the singer) was the pilot. But this video ist very old but good!
Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Back to the Village, The Trooper, Sign of the Cross, For the Greater Good of God, Alexander the Great, Sea of Madness, Still Life, Writing on the Wall, Time Machine, Death of the Celts, Hell on Earth, The Number of the Beast, The Prisoner, The Clansman, The Longest Day, Empire of the Clouds, If Eternity Should Fail, Speed of Light, and many many more.
The live versions are kickass but the studio versions are my pick but for reactions I’d play both
Imagine being in that crowd and get to witness this being played for the first time!!!?
I mean this is from the beast on the road tour -82
(PLEASE )can you play some (FREE) That is the name of the band. ""(FREE)""
I've been following you lovely people on your Nightwish journey and very happy you've found Iron Maiden too. They are fellow Londoners and I saw them on this particular tour. Other popular songs - 'Run to the Hills' , 'The Trooper', '2 minutes to Midnight' , 'Aces High' and many more! Bruce Dickinson is a great guy and superb singer admired world wide. He is a qualified pilot and has flown the big Boeing Iron Maiden plane from Country to Country on world tours! Keep up the good work. 😃 🙂
the name was taken from a medieval torture instrument called an IRON MAIDEN. bruce dickinson the singer is a pilot. he has is own full size aeroplane with IRON MAIDEN written on the side
hell yeah, UP THE IRONS!!!! check out prowler, killers or caught somewhere in time next ;)
for what you said in the begining the band started in 1972 became "know" in england ind the last part of the 1975 begining of the 1976 and became know to the word in the 80S years!
Metal minds are like classical music minds, in terms of criativity using complex instrumental that nobody else does,,, metal use a lot of classic music inspiration, a lot of metal singers have classical training two, thats why bands like Nightwish, Iron Maiden, Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Avantasia etc...exist .. And also rock and metal combine very welll with classical instruments... Metallica, Scorpions, Alter Bridge... and many other use orchestras in the back and its just epic---
I loved you guys faces when the music kicked in😳😳😁😁 🤣🤣 Iron Maiden Are Legendary !🤘🏻
My favorite song by Iron Maiden. You’ll love them. They’re amazing ❤️
The sign of the cross, powerslave, fear of the dark, hay muchas muy buenas canciones
Let me guess.. this music makes you happy ? Your brain gets fried and You can F*cking fly! Welcome to the family :) Up the Irons!
I saw them on this tour. Iron maiden my second favorite band . Next to the best band of all time. You might of heard of them, Black Sabbath. Godfathers of metal hallowed be thy name y favorite Maiden song ever ever. Masterpiece.
iron maiden started heavy metal?....have you never heard of led zeppelin, deep purple, black sabbath, wishbone ash, ufo, ...all these bands, were establishes, well over 10 years beffore iron maiden
The singer's name of IRON MAIDEN is (bruce dickenson)
A few song suggestions for you. There's dance of death and talisman. Both from the en vivo concert.
Rime of the ancient mariner and aces high. Both from flight 666
Run to the hills and fear of the dark from rock in rio 2001
Enjoy 😊
Nice to SEE how enjoy de song You have to go to a Iron Maiden concert Will be amazing be there! 🤟🏼💯😉😉
Maiden has been and IMO will Always be on top of Metal Mountain. Songs on the radio were Flight of Icarus, Two Minutes to Midnight, The Trooper, Can I Play with Madness we're probably played the most.
Try "THE TROOPER" it is about the Crimean War between England and Russia. One of their BEST ! I saw them in 81, 92, 2012, God Bless.
Well, this was a song from 1982 from a gig in 1982. I recommend you as next the song "Fear of the dark" from 1991 in one of the live versions which are on youtube and then a newer song called "When the wild wind blows" in a fantastic live version from Chile. There are so many extraodinary songs in the long career of Iron Maiden, but these from me highly recomended ones will show the genius of Iron Maidens metal style perfectly.
I Am Jesus Christ
And
There is not a heavy metal song nor a look that i like about heavy metal music.
99% of This World is not from GOD.
try the clansman 2001 9/16. pure energy beyond belief and nicko the drummer even dances
It is not a silly question it actually is a very good intelligent question. Not every night is the same. Obviously the more you practice and get your routine down the better your odds are of pulling it off. Some performances won't be quite as good as others, we're all human after all. This is a big part of the reason most of today's music is shit. It's overproduction, autotunes and lacking in the human element which is not perfect. A group or musician that plays music for real and sounds good or great consistently night after night is the apitomy true hard work and talent. This is certainly lacking in this time and age. Great reaction guys.
Great video! I would recommend fear of the dark (LIVE at rock in Rio), rime of the ancient mariner, blood brothers or powerslave, for example
The world needs Maiden
🤘😜🤘🏴
The Clansman from Rock in Rio 2001 is awesome, also the Flight 666 version of Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
most popular iron maiden songs: fear of the dark, the number of the beast, powerslave and for "slow" "wasting love" ( less know)!
Children of the damned, fear of the dark, afraid to shoot strangers, and (the evil that man do)/list goes on an and on . Loving your channel, people discovering metal is such a moving thing for me, since most people I encounter in work or life in general has that view that it's just noise (granted, some of it is noise). Seeing people discover the beauty that for me has been obvious since childhood (thanks to my friends older brothers). It's captivating, and beautiful.
There's so much to discover, and it feelslike you're both going to keep on that journey even without the react part of it, and thats also beautiful. But thanks for letting us tag along for the ride.
there is a lot of styles in metal, your followers just shows you the "light" side of metal. Nightwish, Sabaton, Iron Maiden
but there is also a lot of other metal, that is made for other moods and feelings
"Shadow of Intent" , a band which called themselves a "darkened symphonical Deathcore" band when they recorded "Malediction" - and they made a music video too which is what i ask you to react to :) link: ruclips.net/video/A3fBD9xjqac/видео.html
i know this is not an usual request, this kind of music is a lot harder in any meaning, but that symphonical elements together with Deathcore opened a whole new universe for me to dive in and enjoy ... maybe this happens to you or some followers
for what the woman said in the begining there is many type of metal heavy have a hight basis of classical music so sure it will have melody, there is MANY band that have that what you must be speaking of in the "metal" style might be more "new trasj metal" ( like pantera), death metal or grindcore metal! Like i said you might think all metal style are the same but that something completely false for exemple you could try gothic metal like "type o negative" ("love you to death" for exemple) or wagnerian rock like "meat load" ( for exemple "i would do anything for love") and if you like melody you will like it ( after for type o negative peter steele the singer/bassist had a very deep voice so try if you like deep voices)!
Iron Maiden it's not only very influential, they are the MOST influential and biggest (in terms of quality) heavy metal band of all time. Of course, theres the older and equally important and influential bands like Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, but Iron Maiden is the band that defined the genre for good. Some can say Metallica is bigger, but only in sales and those sales are just because they sold themselves to the mainstream and become the heavy metal band for non metal people, reaching a public that are not exactly metal supporters.
Dominika, you were wondering how many youngsters actually know Iron Maiden. I would say: a lot. Iron Maiden concerts tend to be family events for some. By that I mean that you can find parents with kids as young as 10 years old on the concerts. Three weeks ago I was on the concert in Warsaw and beside me there was a father with, I would say, 12 yo son. The young one rocked hard!
I recommend "Angra - Carry On (Official)" is an old but good song by a Brazilian band and its late vocalist André Matos
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden, my Holy Trinity!!!!
Dance Of Death live and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son live and Rhime Of The Ancient Mariner live and Fear Of The Dark live please. ☺️
I love Iron since I was 15 (i'm 53 now) and for the first time in my life I saw them a few days ago, here in Portugal, and it was the show of my life. After seing Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, I only want to see Nightwish so I can die in peace. Great reviews as always.
Nightwish, The Warning, now Maiden... What more could I ask more from you guys ?? 👍👍👍
Some say practice until you get right a true artist will say practice until you can't get it wrong... Essentially saying start where everyone else stops ..Go farther do more..
Rime of the Ancient mariner, live version, you won't be disappointed.
Hi my frends please more. Iron maiden videos. I love your reaction videos😗😀😀😀
welcome to the wonderful, fantastic and brilliant world of heavy metal🤘🤘
Another awesome song is Rime of the ancient mariner. You’ll love it. By Iron Maiden 😊
Finally had time to search for this reaction. I was not disappointed. Excellent reaction as always. Love your channel!
Such a beautiful couple! I really enjoyed rockin out with you two kids!!! Kidding aside, I’m so here to observe your journey into the wonderful world of Metal . Please more Jinjer… really really such a talented beautiful band from Ukraine. Looking forward to more metal!!!
how do they do it. skill from long playing and long playing together. rehearse. they are very rigid about no booze or drugs before a show show always comes first.
Not where heavy metal started. Black Sabbath can take credit for that, but Judas Priest is the band that defined heavy metal. Iron Maiden came later.
Fear of the Dark, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Run to the Hills are all great songs to react to. Love your reactions.
Iron maiden is a deep rabbit hole, song suggestions? Clansman, blood brothers, when the wild wind blows, dance of death empire of the clouds , sign of the cross, Alexander the great, rime of the ancient mariner, etc etc etc, live versions are best
This song is next level stuff. Bruce is one of the greatest Rock singers ever. Here is exhibit A. Cheers!
Someone earlier in the comments said they still tour and they do! I am seeing them in October here in Tampa, Florida. Crazy that I seen them in like 1987 or around that time, in Lakeland Florida and now seeing them again 35 years later.
I tell you guys, more so than most bands that have been around for so long...IM has not lost much of their abilities. The vocalist sounds virtually the same now. Listen to a recent live performance.
