If you liked this song then: - start with next album Somewhere in Time (the best Maiden album) - any song ! For example, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner ☺ - logic says you can't listen to concert version of songs you don't know 🤔 first listen to the studio version at least once. I wish you all the best 👍
Nice to see a 'millenial' liking Iron Maiden! The world is not lost, haha! Yeah, this is a great song. Almost all songs are built up around Steve Harris' bassline. Did you know they got their own Boeing 747 called 'Edforce 1', referring to Eddie, their mascot. Bruce Dickinson is not only singer of the band, he's also their pilot! Have fun exploring this great band! I'm a fan since 1987 when I discovered them at the age of 12... As for a recommendation I'd say 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner', from the same album 'Powerslave'. A beautiful long song. Greetz from the Netherlands 🤘
Bruce is also a very talented at fencing and besides writing novels has an aircraft maintenance company. Comes across as still humble and a great sense of humor. In short, a bona fide legend.
My fav Maiden tracks are "Caught Somewhere In Time""...for the guitar break makes my heart swell...and my very fav is "Stranger In A Strange Land"....it's how I feel.....both from the same album.....But each to their own...I'm sure others like other tracks more...but these are my choice.
You HAVE to listen to Hallowed Be Thy Name live in 1982 (It's the video with around 10M views) Arguably their best song, and the '82 live version is downright superb
The Trooper is my favorite. Only got to see them once 86 or 87 I think. The most important thing to remember is they follow old poetry or events in history in most of their songs...so even as their music rocks, there's usually a ton to learn from the lyrics.
Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Welcome to the great big hole that is Iron Maiden. You will just keep falling into it. Yes the Bassist is amazing. The band is so good. Enjoy. Chris
After almost four decades of worshiping IM including 6 concerts, I can guarantee you their songs only get better with age like a fine wine. As for recommendations, some great ones already mentioned and the list is VERY LONG. However, here’s just a few to get into... Revelations, The Trooper, The Prisoner, Phantom of the Opera, Children of the Damned, Alexander the Great, Sea of Madness, The Evil That Men Do, Infinite Dreams, Moonchild, Fear of the Dark, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Starblind, Montsegur, Dance of Death, The Red and the Black, The Clansman (with Blaze Bailey on vocals) and more recently, The Parchment, Hell on Earth.
Any song on Piece of Mind. Hallow be thy Name the official video 1982 live is my favorite, there is like 10 version over the last 40 years. Dance of Death , Rime of the Ancient Marianor . All their live version are twice as good. Their 2 to 3 of the guitarist do solos and the all play in harmony, Sometimes 2 or all 3 except the bass will do the solos at the sametime.
Please young man check out this whole f n masterpiece.. Also somewhere in time to me is Maidens best work... 7th son of a 7th son too.... spread the word up the F N IRONS...
I've been a Maiden fan since 82 when I was 12, they are the greatest metal band on earth without question, you've gotta watch them live, they are phenomenal live and way better than studio, check out the rime of the ancient mariner from flight 666 live or from live after death, they have so many albums and a huge catalogue of songs but watch them live.
i just realize like 3 or 4 years ago how good are those guitar solos in mid section. music is like this.. they walk along with you, and everyday you're different
Can I suggest you check out the live version from their world slavery tour 1985, Long Beach Arena. Live After Death DVD. Dave Murray's solo is just like the album and their 12 foot tall mascot Eddie comes out on stage. Awesome concert. PS, there are strobes flashing thou.
You wanna know the real iron maiden? Everything from the first two albums. Aniway, you could start with PROWLER, STRANGE WORLD, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, TRANSILVANYA, WHRATHCHILD, MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE, PURGATORY, INNOCENT EXILE. ..and, oviously, THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER! From the album powerslave. But especially from the only great version ever, of the one of the best concert of the history: LIVE AFTER DEATH!
The Trooper, Aces High, Revelations, Where eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, anything on Peice of Mind. Run to the Hills , 22 Arcadia Avenue damm almost any song. But watch the live versions.
My advice to you is to listen all their songs live. Start with the Life After Death album and only then move forward. Like Nightwish, it only gets better. Believe me, you will not regret it. You might even become an Iron Maiden addict. Up the Irons.
Been watching your Nightwish reactions which are great, So glad to see you check out Iron maiden , Who like Nightwish are a dish best served live , Check out Hallowed be thy name Live in rio
i born in 1992 i am a milenial too but you at know iron maiden halloweed be thy name is the best but al album number of the beast a masterpiece and powerslave listen the duellist
To be honest..I'd say..start from the beginning and see the progression of Maiden...Murders in the Rue Morgue,Women in Uniform,songs like that..then move on to the next album...etc
You started with one of the best. It's hard to top the album. If you want enlightenment on Iron Maiden just set aside a couple of hours and immerse yourself in Live After Death. That's where the roots lie
For me, Number Of the Beast is one of the few overrated Maiden songs. Hmm.. to be honest, I can't think of another one that is "overrated", it's usually the other way around. ^^ I'll tell you what, don't believe anyone who tells you about a best song, Maiden just has too many of them. Listen to two more songs and that's it with you: addicted. I'm been addicted for almost 40 years now and love it. You already have some suggestions under the video, so I won't make any now. Nice greetings from Germany.
I agree about the songs people need to listen to albums not just one song so sick of this free music online nobody has the attention span for albums anymore
@@ellamcclanahan9811 Yes, those were the days when you went to the record store and bought a record to put it on the record player at home, headphones on, study the album cover, read the lyrics and just listen to the music with a fine crackle of the needle in the background. 😊
If you don't like Numbet of rhe Beast, then stick to the Powerslave album for now. It's the best they made with the "classic" lineup. check out the openjng 2 tracks next Aces High & 2 Minutes to Midnight. Subsequent albums were all downhill after Powerslave. They lost none of their musicianship, but ran out of ideas & started doing the stuff all metal bands do when they run out of ideas "experimenting" with keyboards etc. Number of the Beast is actually a brilliant album their first withbsinger Bruce Dickinson & next best after Powerslave with him in the band. Don't dismiss it out of hand Its the album which broke them and made them superstars for good reason. From there, instead of going forwards into the newer more bland disappointing work, keep going backwards. The first 2 albums are both brilliant Killers (the "difficult second album") is the best thing they ever did in my view. They had a different singer back then, Paul DiAnno and a much more raw, energetic edgy sound. Leave the newer albums for the younguns who don't know any better. Maiden were at their best when they were fresh, new & pissed off and burst onto the scene full of energy & ambition. 👌👍😎

Had their own 747. They don't have it anymore.

@@rolandmertens1604 They borrowed it. It's still got their paint-job!
@@MorleyRobertson1975 They lease the jets. They never owned one.
IMO the most iconic Iron Maiden song, it sounds like it's been recorded inside a Pyramide
Yeah this is 100% the best Iron Maiden song ever
Hallowed be thy Name; To Tame a Land; Caught Somewhere in Time
Tailgunner, To Tame a Land, Where Eagles Dare
Tailgunner, To Tame A Land, Murders in the Rue Morgue
My fav Maiden tracks are "Caught Somewhere In Time""...for the guitar break makes my heart swell...and my very fav is "Stranger In A Strange Land"....it's how I feel.....both from the same album.....But each to their own...I'm sure others like other tracks more...but these are my choice.
Both great tracks.
My heart melts when I hear 5:19 why is no one talking about this wonderfull piece

Bruce sings so damn good on this performance!

better studio version
@@smn1085 Better than studio version? If that is yes, then agreed.
IRON MAIDEN - TO TAME A LAND
And, a lifetime Iron Maiden fan is born... Live on RUclips...
Up The Irons!!
22 Acacia Avenue
The Trooper is my favorite. Only got to see them once 86 or 87 I think. The most important thing to remember is they follow old poetry or events in history in most of their songs...so even as their music rocks, there's usually a ton to learn from the lyrics.
“Let me know what Iron Maiden songs to do next.” ALL OF THEM, lol!
😂😂😂
your face in solo part !!!!!hahahahahaha same for me the first time!!!!!!
Man you are in for a real treat with Iron Maiden! It's one of my absolute favourite bands of all time.
They only have about 25-30 more just as good, several more on this album alone.
Only 25/30!?! Are you mad lol?
@@RandomBoi-mc3ob yeah they have at least 130
Love the Phrygian Major at the end. Perfect use of it!
Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Welcome to the great big hole that is Iron Maiden. You will just keep falling into it. Yes the Bassist is amazing. The band is so good. Enjoy. Chris
You are one of the only people on fb that reminds me of the first time I heard maiden! 💪
No way that is awesome!
I said this to my wife, you've taken me back 30 odd years dude! You've reawoken it for me. Cheers! 🍻
I played this so much in my teens till the cassette broke I'm 50 now and this is still my favorite album of all time.
You have just discovered over 40 years of music greatness. That album is one of Maiden's greatest....
You must check out Iron Maiden Live Videos!!!
Where should I start?
@@hurm1t974 Fear of the dark or Dance of Death live from En Vivo are both solid tracks that the crowd REALLY get into.
@@hurm1t974 The rime of ancient mariner ruclips.net/video/2AmrIydnXIs/видео.html
Good idea.... 🤔 to listen to concert versions of songs he doesn't know....😉
Iron Maiden - fear of the dark live @rock in Rio 2001
It’s a great intro to Maiden plus crowd participation is epic
After almost four decades of worshiping IM including 6 concerts, I can guarantee you their songs only get better with age like a fine wine. As for recommendations, some great ones already mentioned and the list is VERY LONG. However, here’s just a few to get into... Revelations, The Trooper, The Prisoner, Phantom of the Opera, Children of the Damned, Alexander the Great, Sea of Madness, The Evil That Men Do, Infinite Dreams, Moonchild, Fear of the Dark, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Starblind, Montsegur, Dance of Death, The Red and the Black, The Clansman (with Blaze Bailey on vocals) and more recently, The Parchment, Hell on Earth.
"The Duelists" !!! Great bass line!
“Fear of the dark” live is a good way into Maiden if you want to do more.
Any song on Piece of Mind. Hallow be thy Name the official video 1982 live is my favorite, there is like 10 version over the last 40 years. Dance of Death , Rime of the Ancient Marianor . All their live version are twice as good. Their 2 to 3 of the guitarist do solos and the all play in harmony, Sometimes 2 or all 3 except the bass will do the solos at the sametime.
Infinite dreams, Revelations, Blood brothers, Children of the Damned, Aces high, the clairvoyant…….shit dude there are so many prime tracks🤘🤘🤘🤘
Musicality & Showmanship = Iron Maiden
I love Maiden saw them three times live: 80s, 90s, and in '22. They started to get more metal Prog in the later albums.
EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM! Yeah, it's that good, from Aces High to Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
That whole album is excellent so is Piece of Mind but as good as their albums are Iron Maiden is best live. Incredible high energy shows
Oh my god, this was your best decision. Try powerslave for the first time listening iron maiden is... Cheff kiss
check out their concert live after death 1985 its one of the best shows ever
i saw them on this tour in 1985 , i was 14 yrs old
'Aces High' is also on this album. Love it. It almost feels like I'm flying every time I hear it
Caught Somewhere in time
Get used to "loving that #!@in" bass line.
Literally any live performance, they are one of the few bands that sound better live.
"Sign of the Cross" Live Rock in Rio
U should react to the live version at long beach arena. Its epic !
I was there lol
Gods of Metal!!! Up the irons!!
DUDE...check out 'sign of the cross' rock in rio live .... what a performance!
Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Flight 666 version. There’s no other choice.
Please young man check out this whole f n masterpiece.. Also somewhere in time to me is Maidens best work... 7th son of a 7th son too.... spread the word up the F N IRONS...
stranger in a strange land official video live (studio sound but live footage). check the solo... i just recommend this for that solo,
Loved the reaction! Check out the live version of The Talisman (En Vivo)
I've been a Maiden fan since 82 when I was 12, they are the greatest metal band on earth without question, you've gotta watch them live, they are phenomenal live and way better than studio, check out the rime of the ancient mariner from flight 666 live or from live after death, they have so many albums and a huge catalogue of songs but watch them live.
The Best Gallop Heavy Metal Song Ever! 🎸🤘
Powerslave is my fav album from the irons, check out Testaments cover of this track
maiden sure is a band to dive in. i listen to them since 14 yo still 29 yo i think they're a fundamental pilar of heavy metal
i just realize like 3 or 4 years ago how good are those guitar solos in mid section. music is like this.. they walk along with you, and everyday you're different
Aaah. I wish I was hearing that for the first time too. Excellent "Maiden face" by the way. Its a thing.
Yes it is.
Check out Wasted Years and Hallowed Be Thy Name by Maiden. (List is very long actually, lol).
... where does he needs to hit next ? May we suggest the Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 2 [1988] :).
Listen to that whole album.

Best trilogy: piece of mind, powerslave and somewhere in time
Up the Irons! Innit
All that matters is you have been listening to these guys, Steve Harris is freaking brilliant! -UP THE IRONS!
You wanna know the real iron maiden? Everything from the first two albums. Aniway, you could start with PROWLER, STRANGE WORLD, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, TRANSILVANYA, WHRATHCHILD, MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE, PURGATORY, INNOCENT EXILE. ..and, oviously, THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER! From the album powerslave. But especially from the only great version ever, of the one of the best concert of the history: LIVE AFTER DEATH!
The Trooper, Aces High, Revelations, Where eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, anything on Peice of Mind. Run to the Hills , 22 Arcadia Avenue damm almost any song. But watch the live versions.
You're not a Millenial. You're too smart.
Blood Brothers next
Epic song, epic reaction!!!!
Gallop bassist style by Steve Harris
Loving your reaction to one of the best bands ever. Just subscribed...Up the Irons!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello from Croatia...like your funny reaction🤗❤️
My advice to you is to listen all their songs live. Start with the Life After Death album and only then move forward. Like Nightwish, it only gets better. Believe me, you will not regret it. You might even become an Iron Maiden addict. Up the Irons.
Maiden live is an experience old or new! Enjoy.
Arguably Steve Harris best bassist
To understand Maiden you really need to start from the first album & work your way through UP THE IRONS
Been watching your Nightwish reactions which are great, So glad to see you check out Iron maiden , Who like Nightwish are a dish best served live , Check out Hallowed be thy name Live in rio
i born in 1992 i am a milenial too but you at know iron maiden halloweed be thy name is the best but al album number of the beast a masterpiece and powerslave listen the duellist
Now that you have been initiated, time to return to Number of the Beast. You won't be disappointed!
Just check them "LIVE" 🤘🤘🤘 grettings from South America
To be honest..I'd say..start from the beginning and see the progression of Maiden...Murders in the Rue Morgue,Women in Uniform,songs like that..then move on to the next album...etc
🤘⚔️🤘Maiden!
You started with one of the best. It's hard to top the album. If you want enlightenment on Iron Maiden just set aside a couple of hours and immerse yourself in Live After Death. That's where the roots lie

Welcome to Gen X music...look deeper you might find some gems.
I have gone through every Maiden recently and I am currently going through their B-sides lol
What are you?
live performance sounds better .. ruclips.net/video/i0G9nSAULIU/видео.html ... or this ... ruclips.net/video/7F3eRabNAzI/видео.html
