Based on the Novel by Gaston LeRoux, this song was a litmus test for 80's Metal bands. If you could play Phantom, then you were considered a genuine Metal band.
This entire show is available on RUclips, it's really worth checking out. This was shot right before their second album "Killers' was released and it's an amazing document of the band at that time. Great reaction, hope to see more early Iron Maiden (First five albums) in the future!
Still loving your face when you listen to the old school Maiden we grew up with :-) I wish I could have taken you on a Live After Death tour stop! Maiden was absolutely on point for that tour. Cheers and congrats on your BEAUTIFUL recital!
Them And Judas Priest Are Always Legendary..lAnd Theatrical With Their Stage Presence....Already Glad youve GotHallowed be thy Name...But Did u Already Do Fear of the Dark ?...Thats my Maiden Fav😊
Though Bruce Dickinson is technically the better singer, I prefer Paul Dianno's style of singing. His voice and the band itself were more gritty and raw sounding. Please give Remember Tomorrow a listen. You will hear Dianno's softer side and range.
I love the old Iron Maiden, I like the new too but the old stuff just has that raw, youthful energy you just can't recreate later on. Certainly Bruce is the superior singer but Paul has that energy and style that fits the songs very well. Bruce has charisma, skill and passion, Paul has pure sex drugs and rock n' roll. Paul burned the candle at both ends and yeah, that means you're gonna burn out faster but man, for a while you're gonna burn bright!
Your " hallowed be thy name" reaction of maiden, still to this day is the best reaction ever. The video that made me become your fan. Cheers. Please next time to a reaction of " rime of the ancient mariner" by Iron maiden.
THIS IS PRE BRUCE DICKINSON MAIDEN ... WRITTEN BY STEVE HARRIS I AGREE I LOVE PAUL DIANNOS VOICE the WHOLE BAND WAS ALREADY SUPER TALENTED AS YOU CAN SEE..THANKS FOR REACTING THIS BAND AGAIN❤
Before Iron Maiden became this juggernaut arena heavy metal band fronted by vocalist Bruce Dickinson, they were a promising British heavy metal band w/ a punk rock-style singer Paul Di'Anno... This was one of the earliest concerts filmed in late 1980 at the Rainbow Theater in London, England for the live concert video 'Live at the Rainbow'... just as Iron Maiden were finishing the tour for their 1980 debut album and getting ready to record and release their 2nd album 'Killers' in 1981... Paul Di'Anno left the band during the '81 tour (He was burnt out from touring and substance abuse) and former Samson vocalist Bruce Dickinson replaced him for their 3rd major album 'The number of the beast' in 1982. 'Phantom of the Opera' was one of the early songs written by bassist Steve Harris, who liked to compose songs w/ time changes and complicated arrangements... When he formed Iron Maiden in London in 1975, he wanted the band to play the original songs which he was writing... However, the band went through quite a few members between 1975 and 1979 during their pub and club days when they didn't have a record out. Steve Harris was always looking for new talent to join Iron Maiden... He was introduced to Dave Murray (guitar - left side of the screen) who joined Maiden permanently by 1977... Paul Di'Anno (vocals) also joined in '77 w/ Doug Sampson (drums) and Iron Maiden spent years playing shows on weekends across the UK and built a sizable fanbase from their incendiary live shows in the clubs and bars. However, the band was unable to secure a 2nd guitarist for years as well w/ numerous players coming and going... It was during those years that Steve Harris wrote a bulk of the 1st two Iron Maiden records, songs like - 'Wrathchild' ... 'Prowler' ... 'Iron Maiden' ... 'Transylvania' ... 'Strange world' ... 'Innocent exile'... etc. Iron Maiden recorded their first demo at Space Ward studios in 1978 and were encouraged to put out an EP 'The Soundhouse tapes' in 1979 w/ 3 demo songs... They were signed to EMI Records in the UK in '79 just as drummer Doug Sampson left the band. The debut album by Iron Maiden was released in 1980, featuring Clive Burr (drums) and Dennis Stratton (guitar) in the line-up... It charted at #4 in the UK and Maiden toured Europe actively before Dennis Stratton was fired by the Fall... Adrian Smith (guitar) replaced him (The guitarist on the right side of the screen) and recorded the 2nd album 'Killers' in 1981, which sold better... Iron Maiden toured Japan and N. America for the first time... Vocalist Paul Di'Anno was struggling to cope w/ the demands of touring and abused drugs and alcohol, which affected his voice... In the Fall of 1981, he parted ways w/ Iron Maiden.
It is nice to see you return to Maiden, and showing some love to the Paul DiAnno era of the band. This song is still occasionally part of the live setlist if you want to compare Paul with Bruce.
Nice reaction, I really admire your open-mindedness. Please don't feel like you need to apologize for pausing. The whole point of watching a reaction video is to hear the thoughts of the reactor. There are plenty of non-reaction versions of this song for those that don't want interruptions. As a fan I'd like to say thank you for being so cool and so willing to experience things that might not necessarily be within your comfort zone Also, you are quite the talented individual yourself, people should be reacting to YOU
I agree with you, there is no need to apologize but that fact that she does when she doesn't need to is all the better. Love her humbleness. Goes to show what kind of person she is.
Awesome! I have been trying to get some many of the premier vocal coaches to react to Paul Di'Anno and barely any of them can be bothered to do it without a stupid fee. I am so thankful you did this! As for rondo, Phantom Of the Opera is more like ABCDEA.
I love Bruce Dickinson, and I understand why DiAnno was justifiably fired, but he will always be my favorite IM singer, and those first two albums are their best for me. They should be listened to for Clive Burr's drumming alone - he was ahead of his time.
Glad Professor Tour recommend this one. It would be the same one I would have recommended for this song. I think it's the best version. It makes the studio version look tame.
You should play “Transylvania” and “Strange World” which run together on the album. The 1980 Iron Maiden debut album is my favorite with Paul Di’Anno on vocals. Paul was just on their debut and their second album Killers.
I was introduced to this at 7, when my older brother (18) bought the album and blasted it along a heavy rock diet in his bedroom. So I have him to blame for certain tastes. Which I suppose is the nature of big brothers.
Great band, they were a damn good band with the original lead singer, Paul D'ianno, who you see here but exploded into super stardom when Bruce Dickinson joined them in 83. What was constant from the start was the brilliance of the band itself, 2 hard rocking, metallic albums with Paul with some cool songs (many great ones with Bruce). From the early era, try Ides of March/Wrath Child, the first title is the intro that seamlessly becomes Wrath Child. Tremendous opening tune for the Killers album. Steve Harris on Bass is the main man in this band, writes much of their stuff and is a huge influence on all heavy bands to come. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Bruce is clearly the "better" singer, but I always liked Pauls vocals, as they where pretty unique and untypical for a metal singer. Though I have to say, I think his voice worked best in the softer songs like "Remember Tomorrow" or "Strange World", where he brought in a "dreamy" quality.

Bruce Dickinson is Michael Jordan, Paul Di'Anno is Jerry West.

"Remember Tomorrow" is another great early Maiden song that showcases Di'Anno's unique vocals and range.

DiAnno has that 'metal voice' i find better suited for the genre of heavy metal than the semi-classical vocals of Dickenson
Thanks for sharing🌺

Very young Iron Maiden. Before Bruce & Nicko. Very talented even back then you could tell they were a band for the ages🤘
Thanks for sharing

This is my favorite version of the song on RUclips.
Thanks for taking the time to watch🥰
Amazing reaction! Can you please check out King Crimson - Epitaph. Greg Lakes vocals on that track is unbelievable!
Thanks for the recommendation
I love Bruce Dickinson, and I understand why DiAnno was justifiably fired, but he will always be my favorite IM singer, and those first two albums are their best for me. They should be listened to for Clive Burr's drumming alone - he was ahead of his time.

Paul Di'anno

Love your stuff. I just was coming to point out that this was early Iron Maiden with Dianno on vocals before Bruce Dickinson arrived.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share
First band I ever saw live, supporting Judas Priest on their British Steel tour long before you were born..
I also saw them on that tour at the Hammersmith Odeon London
Thanks for sharing
if we dont stopp this she becomes a metal head lol
🥰🥰🥰
I like so much your reaction, bring more videos. kisses from brazil
Thanks so much for your kind appreciation
I was at this concert and they played this song twice that night
Thanks for sharing💕
As a teenager I had every Iron maiden Poster ever made on my walls
You should play “Transylvania” and “Strange World” which run together on the album. The 1980 Iron Maiden debut album is my favorite with Paul Di’Anno on vocals. Paul was just on their debut and their second album Killers.
i see Aaliyah upload, i click like. simple as.
Oh super thank you🥰
Not the song I was thinking 😂. Great reaction ❤
🥰🥰🥰
@@AaliyahCapili ❤️
it's not the same singer, sorry
🌺
Rockanroll!!
😊
You can really hear the background vocals here, too. I always assumed it was Adrian singing, but I see Steve singing here and that is unusual.
Steve always did backing vocals
This song is from before Adrian joined. Steve and Dennis did the backing vocals at the original recording.
@@alexandremaireno-ni4ec Yeah, but Adrian's on stage here.
Thanks for sharing
You know, you're headbanging without realizing it.
Makes me happy.
It is so amazing to watch😍
Wow the way it was meant to be, Up the Irons!
I was introduced to this at 7, when my older brother (18) bought the album and blasted it along a heavy rock diet in his bedroom. So I have him to blame for certain tastes. Which I suppose is the nature of big brothers.
Oh thanks so much for sharing🌺
I love the almost mic-drop ending: You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.
Thanks for sharing
Great band, they were a damn good band with the original lead singer, Paul D'ianno, who you see here but exploded into super stardom when Bruce Dickinson joined them in 83. What was constant from the start was the brilliance of the band itself, 2 hard rocking, metallic albums with Paul with some cool songs (many great ones with Bruce). From the early era, try Ides of March/Wrath Child, the first title is the intro that seamlessly becomes Wrath Child. Tremendous opening tune for the Killers album. Steve Harris on Bass is the main man in this band, writes much of their stuff and is a huge influence on all heavy bands to come. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Thanks so much for sharing💕
I surely understand all the fuss about "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner", but this is Iron Maiden's best song, right here!
Thanks for sharing💕
Is it a myth, or did they really call Zdravko Čolić for their lead singer?
Oh i am not so sure🌺
Bruce is clearly the "better" singer, but I always liked Pauls vocals, as they where pretty unique and untypical for a metal singer. Though I have to say, I think his voice worked best in the softer songs like "Remember Tomorrow" or "Strange World", where he brought in a "dreamy" quality.
Those are great songs, helped make me a fan right away.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts🌺
He's their first singer he was good but Bruce brought theater aspect still cool love the solos
The first to record anything...3rd overall
Thanks for sharing
