yeah... all the little allowance i got as kid i just bought iron maiden cd's iwas so much fan that my godmother bought me like 70 us dollar maiden hoodie lol.... been wearing it for like 20 years
It's not a robot. There's a guy on stilts inside that costume. They did this since the eighties. In the beginning it was just one of the crew members, wearing an Eddie rubber mask. Then they came up with the idea of having a stilt walker dress up as Eddie. I believe it was Bruce who saw a similar act in an opera once. On some tours they had the walking Eddie during one song of the main set and then another giant Eddie in the background on the song you just heard, which is always the final song of the encore.
i was there...in fact i started to see iron maiden since 2006 and io never stopped since then, are their shows are a freaking blast....GREETINGS FROM CHILE!!!!!
..this Eddie on stage normaly fired his Laser gun, great effect, fire and sparkles comes shooting out...done by the rowdie with the remote controller. He was pissed off because the controller had a malfunction and didnt work..
You need to do some of the bruce's solo material... albums like Skunkworks, Accident of birth, Chemical Wedding, Tiranny of Souls are truly masterpieces.
Seeing the original video for this on MTv in 1981 was my gateway drug to Heavy Metal. My second concert was Iron Maiden opening up for Scorpions in San Antonio on their Number of the Beast tour. Happily I've never been the same since. Up the Irons!
This video, as well as others that you have already done, come from their movie Flight 666. It has a lot of background film on the entire tour. I highly recommend watching the entire film. You'll be amazed at some of the things that these guys do.
Awesome signature song from their first album and played at every gig. As you watch more gigs across the years, Eddie makes some awesome appearances. I remember being blown away on the fear of the dark tour and a huge eddie head came up with Nicko in the middle with his drum set.
Thank you both so much, Iron Maiden are my favorite metal band of all time and they are absolutely phenomenal live, I finally got to see them at the Tacoma dome afew years ago on the book of souls world tour, what an amazing performance and sound quality was superb .
There is a movie about the tour Flight 666. Bruce Dickinson piloted the plane that took the band & road crew all over the world. There is also another DVD with a song from every venue they played in the tour.
Great job with your reaction to IRON MAIDEN from IRON MAIDEN from the Fight 666 tour this is the tour l saw in my home State Of Massachusetts in Worcester.
Janick Gers (the guitarist doing tricks and throwing his guitar in the air) recently accidentally threw his guitar into the crowd, he does this thing where he teases the crowd and throws it but pulls it back by the strap, on this one occasion the strap broke free at the locks and the guitar went into the crowd. They gave it back though. This song is their set closer, this is about 90 minutes into the show, and they come back out for a 3 song encore after this. That crowd were still that hype that deep into the show, that’s the passion of Maiden fans.
This song is their closer from every show. It's a staple just like when the play the UFO song "Doctor Doctor" really loud on the house music just before they take the stage. UP THE IRONS!! 🤘🤘
Actually there is a whole movie (more like documentary following the band) on that tour. Flight 666. It is awesome!!!! I watch i it at least once a year. It makes me happy.
FINALLY! Someone actually featuring the most iconic song of any Iron Maiden gig! Eddie is as synonymous with the band any of the members. Thank you for leading the way!
Biggest goosebumps I’ve EVER had,.,,was this song, live, when Eddie came out! Holy shit I get goosebumps just thinking about it!!!! This is what life’s about!!!!
The strap broke off. It’s something he’s always done, teases the crowd, throws the guitar and then pulls it back by the strap, but yeah that one time the strap broke off and the guitar carried on flying 😂
No live video does this song justice. You HAVE to be there in person surrounded by thousands and thousands of people all shouting "IRON MAIDEN!" In unison with all the passion for this band they have.
Never in my life have I had more fun than being up on that barrier for a Maiden show. Heaven on earth. I still can’t hear the opening cords of Doctor Doctor without a tear welling up.
That's was regular Eddie (mascot of Iron Maiden), just check it out Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden live in EN Vivo Chile 2011, big Eddie coming from the backstages. It's gonna blow your mind
Hi Travis and Suzi! This was my second concert of all time because I’m only 18 years old. I caught the wristband of Janick Gers The guitarist who mainly throws his guitar up in the air or does high kicks! It was truly a experience!
Eddie is Iron Maiden's mascot and is on all their alblum covers. The robot you're seeing is remote controled and he fights with different band members...
Eheh 1980 (but maybe the roots for this very song were put around 1975-1976) in here there is" some raw punk influence" . 4'46"-4'48" Suzi i felt your emotion in my heart . At the end Trav is so emotional (6'56") Travis maybe there is a behind the scenes ! You should check out their very last live Albums
There is a moment in the movie (it may be after the Santiago, Chile show) where Nico throws his drum sticks into the crowd. They show a guy who caught one sobbing...just overwhelmed by the entire show. I felt the same way the time I took my sons to see IM. They were bowled over by the whole experience. Seeing them so happy was an amazing feeling. Incredible what IM can do.
You should watch/listen these old songs with the old singer Paul Di Anno. It should also be interesting to see Iron Maiden at small club concerts from their early days.
There is documentary for that tour called Flight 666, where the singer Bruce flies the whole band and crew in jumbo jet. It’s pretty gnarly doc. It’s even on RUclips
The only thing I don’t like about this version is the lack of a big stage Eddie. Normally this song introduces the main backdrop Eddie, usually based off the album artwork, that comes up from behind the stage. This tour just used the walking Eddie which was a big shame.
I'm Chilean, I've been to Iron Maiden concerts and they fill a stadium with 50,000 people, you jump in a mass of people but you can't move because of how close they are to each other, it's a human tide and if you fall you can end up very badly. or died by suffocation or trampling.
FUN FACT: The band originally specialized in folk music from northern Yorkshire. They took their name from band leader, and melodeon prodigy, I. Ron Maitin. Pretty sure this is all factual though my cat has been known to prank me. ;-)
At last. A reactor has reacted to the most obvious song. Well done. Ok just watched your reaction. Absolutely fantastic to see your reaction to what we’ve been enjoying as Iron Maiden fans for the last 40 years. As for Eddie... never look him in the eyes. Even the band doesn’t do that.
Another great Reaction Video 👍🤘 i love your Videos. Specially of Iron Maiden. Watch the Song Book of Souls Live Video from the Tour 2015. You see another Eddie and a Phantastic Iron Maiden Song. Have a great Time. Go on with more Reaction Videos 😃
1 - this is a song from their first album, which had since simpler songs mostly, as they fit more with their vocalist at the time, although there are some awesome gems there too. 2 - that is their mascot Eddie, which features in ALL their studio and live and single album covers. This particular Eddie is the cyberpunk Eddie from the cover of the album Somewhere in Time. This particular tour from the video was not supporting a specific album. Otherwise, they well use an Eddie from their current album
lol, as old( released in 1980) and as simple as it seems, this is the Metal Song that has been Performed in Front of the Most People, Live, By It's Original Artist, Ever!!!. It speaks of Iron Maiden Uniqueness, Impossible Headlining Power/Longevity....., Up the Irons!!!!!!!!
Exactly Travis, when you said this band sets the bar so high. .. 👍😎🎤🎸🥁, still today, no one has really reached maiden's bar lol..... priest, Metallica and megadeth come very close, but i still think maiden has the bar.... lol
Eddie coming out at an Iron Maiden show is the ultamate as you guess which song he will appear at the start of the show. He is 10 feet tall and Cyborg Eddie is my fave Love all your reactions Play The Raven Age Grave of the Fireflies Xxx
there is absolutely no other band like Iron Maiden!
yeah... all the little allowance i got as kid i just bought iron maiden cd's iwas so much fan that my godmother bought me like 70 us dollar maiden hoodie lol.... been wearing it for like 20 years
Iron Maiden - 22 Acacia Avenue - (Live Hammersmith 1982) HD . Thank you very very much.
Janick always has these CRAZY guitar tricks! Gives me fucking anxiety every time🥴😳
Like watching your reaction to my favorite band for over 40 years. They are soooooooo great!!
Me too!
M2 fan since 1995, i was 15 back than
Up the irons
Me too 🤘🏽
@@krisvanditshuizen7367 mid 90s same here. born in 80. best band in the world
They haven't seen the real heat......pls react to killers ....all the backbone of thrash metal ... second album of the iconic band.

The remote control I believe was to control the gun smoking and Lighting
Don’t ruin it.
Check out the live video of powerslave live in 85 with Eddie and you will be amazed by how they did it for that time in live shows
That's why they're the goat guys I saw iron made for the first time in 1982 and I've seen them 15 times over the years 🤘🤘🤘
i was there...in fact i started to see iron maiden since 2006 and io never stopped since then, are their shows are a freaking blast....GREETINGS FROM CHILE!!!!!
Glad you mentioned the bass solo. That is Steve Harris , the founder of the band ..!
..this Eddie on stage normaly fired his Laser gun, great effect, fire and sparkles comes shooting out...done by the rowdie with the remote controller. He was pissed off because the controller had a malfunction and didnt work..
You need to do some of the bruce's solo material... albums like Skunkworks, Accident of birth, Chemical Wedding, Tiranny of Souls are truly masterpieces.
Dark Side Of Aquarius is so amazing
Yes. His song "Tears of the Dragon". I think they'd loose their minds on that one.
Agree 100% . Truly Gems . I hope in a future to give some imputs and donations (maybe closer than it seems)
Chemical Wedding is better than many iron Maiden albums.....I know, I know...blasphemy!
Seeing the original video for this on MTv in 1981 was my gateway drug to Heavy Metal. My second concert was Iron Maiden opening up for Scorpions in San Antonio on their Number of the Beast tour. Happily I've never been the same since. Up the Irons!

+1 on watching Flight 666. You get to see Bruce Dickinson flying Ed Force One! And the number of the flight was literally "666".
Really like your reactions here 🤘🏼
And Janick is awesome a beast in scene.
Awesome signature song from their first album and played at every gig.
As you watch more gigs across the years, Eddie makes some awesome appearances. I remember being blown away on the fear of the dark tour and a huge eddie head came up with Nicko in the middle with his drum set.
Iron Maiden got me 39 years ago and they still got me! Up the Irons!
Talk about consistency. Their signature song is the closer of every show they ever made.
It’s never a closer. It’s always before the encore.
Greatest metal band ever.
Thank you both so much, Iron Maiden are my favorite metal band of all time and they are absolutely phenomenal live, I finally got to see them at the Tacoma dome afew years ago on the book of souls world tour, what an amazing performance and sound quality was superb .
Gotta check out this song w original singer Paul Di Anno

This video is bananas guys ! No comment needed in this case ! I love your music and dedication . 3'19" A peace flag on the guitar of Adrian

Biggest goosebumps I’ve EVER had,.,,was this song, live, when Eddie came out! Holy shit I get goosebumps just thinking about it!!!! This is what life’s about!!!!
It's really simple: they are the biggest metal band of all times...
There's a video on RUclips of Janick throwing his guitar into the crowd by mistake 🤣🤣
The strap broke off. It’s something he’s always done, teases the crowd, throws the guitar and then pulls it back by the strap, but yeah that one time the strap broke off and the guitar carried on flying 😂
That is "Eddie"
Janick Gers does all kinds of tricks. Launching his Stratocaster in the air and flipping it and catching it and go on like it never happened 😎🤣
we love your face when Gers threw the guitar up in the air
Bruce Dickinson the Air Raid fuc*ing Siren 🔥
More Maiden please 🤘🏻
Check out - the evil that men do- live Rock in Rio. Eddie is showing up on stage in this one as well. 🔥 Song

you need to watch the Live after Death version of this song from Long Beach Arena in 85. Best walk on Eddie ever!
Great reaction! Greatings from Poland!
Seen my first big Eddy in Anaheim, CA. 1982
Saw them at the Seventh Sons tour the first time. Crowd always went nuts when Eddie came out to play.

Yeah that is always great.
I was 12 when i saw the World Slavery Tour - the giant mummy Eddie was the coolest thing I had ever seen!
Uping the Irons here since 1989 🤘🏻
Iron Maiden number of the beast live from Mexiko City 2019 or wasted years live from Monterrey
World Slavery Tour in 1985 was my first concert ... has yet to be topped
You have to watch iron maiden live after death concert from 1985. They bring out Eddie as a mummy during their song powerslave
I'm Chilean, I've been to Iron Maiden concerts and they fill a stadium with 50,000 people, you jump in a mass of people but you can't move because of how close they are to each other, it's a human tide and if you fall you can end up very badly. or died by suffocation or trampling.
Simply the best band in the world...
i'm from Texas , and i saw them on this tour in Mexico city
That is Eddie. 😆Their mascot
steves right hand playing isawesome
FUN FACT: The band originally specialized in folk music from northern Yorkshire. They took their name from band leader, and melodeon prodigy, I. Ron Maitin. Pretty sure this is all factual though my cat has been known to prank me. ;-)
Keep up the good work guys. Loving what you do from down here in NZ.
Totally classic song.
Sorry you guys couldn’t se the BIG mummy Eddie. That’s a sight to see
The robot walking on the stage, that is Eddie Iron Maidens mascot, for those who don't know.
At last. A reactor has reacted to the most obvious song. Well done.
Ok just watched your reaction. Absolutely fantastic to see your reaction to what we’ve been enjoying as Iron Maiden fans for the last 40 years.
As for Eddie... never look him in the eyes. Even the band doesn’t do that.
Eddie kicks asses!
Best live show!!!
You need to watch en vivo iron maiden or from the book of souls tour an you'll see the big EDDIE or the best one now from the legacy of the beast tour
Check out this track from their last tour, they got the Giant Devil Eddie head behind the whole stage. Blows this Eddie right out of the water
Another great Reaction Video 👍🤘 i love your Videos. Specially of Iron Maiden. Watch the Song Book of Souls Live Video from the Tour 2015. You see another Eddie and a Phantastic Iron Maiden Song. Have a great Time. Go on with more Reaction Videos 😃

For a comparison, please react to original singer Paul Di'Anno performance of the same song
Iron Maiden around the clock! up the irons

i've seen them do that live 9 times!
You should watch Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden live 1983. Bruce pulls the mascots brain out :D
Greatest Metal band of all time.
Steve Harris is one of the best bass players ever. If you enjoy the drums, you should check Where Eagles Dare.
Nicko's snare is a gift from Lars...
Their first 3 albums are great
You have to check out and react to Iron Maiden, the book of souls from the book of souls chapter. So fun to watch.
