Today’s video was supposed to be “Vicarious” by Tool but youtube has blocked all our Tool videos so we put it on our Patreon for free so check that out if it interests you.

Now about this video, which was for next Friday, fucking amazing, it truly showcases what makes Iron Maiden different from other bands, you guys never fail to give the best suggestions, thank you all so much! With that, what’s the next Maiden track we should do?!? Let us know down below in the comments!! 🔥⬇️🔥
Fear of the dark live in rio bad tune
Alexander the Great is another Epic
@A National Acrobat
Tool used to not be an issue, but today all their music went to streaming services so their stance on the copyrights of their songs has changed, all our previous Tool vids got taken down, and yeah I’ll make sure not to link Vimeo, is it bad to link Patreon?
@@andyandalex Yes, I just heard it from someone. Maybe that's why there's not a single Tool song in the RUclips Music Policy database at the moment. I believe Patreon is safe to link, as it's not a direct competitor. Another reaction channel (to whom I'm also patron) got a strike for linking to Vimeo.
@A National Acrobat
Gotcha, appreciate the info man!
They've been selling out stadium world tours since I was a sophomore in High School and I'm 52. One of the BEST bands ever!
Try my channel nw
I'm 53 bro and iron Maiden is the goat, first time I saw them was 1981/82
I saw them on this tour when I was in high school.
I live in south america and saw them recently play for 50000 people and literally gave the best show Ive seen in my 45 years of going to metal concerts. They are the best period, no metal band comes even close, no megadeth metallica etc can draw so much people in 2019
Longer. I'm 56 and saw them in HS at a sold out stadium
This song is quintessential Iron Maiden style. Story telling, tempo changes and nine minute plus song. The live from Flight 666 version s EPIC.
Hallowed be thy Name should be the next Maiden song, classic.
Xaxar Kun Absolutely!!
HBTN is a must!
This singer is a Beast, even throat cancer lost against him! *\m/*
Bruce sounded terrific on Maiden's '17 tour. Bet he is still as good on this year's tour.
@@geol1936 indeed he is! Saw them in Atlanta! Best thing ever!
@@JohnM-wm9fp Excellent! My cousin just saw them in Cleveland last night. He posted a video, and the guys were bouncing all over the place like 20 year olds!
Steve Harris on the bass. One of the best ever.
I was just thinking about him during this song, as his bass is so prominent here. I'm not sure where he ranks in pure technical ability; probably not in the top few, but boy can he pound out a solid and difficult bass line! I don't know very many of their songs yet (maybe 4 or 5), and I'm gonna have to hear more.
Rudy Toot Harris is definitely a pillar in the bands big sound. He writes a great deal of the music too.
@@s1d299 Srry for the late response. If you haven't checked "Blood On The World's Hands" or "The Red And The Black" out yet. You definitely should. Both songs have a great bass solo as the intro. :)
@@tominatorxx Roger. Will look for those.
in my opinion, for metal he's 2nd to cliff burton.
Iron Maiden is one of those rare bands that sound even better live. The live versions of this song are amazing.
You guys NEED to go see Maiden live. Saw them last night and they still kick ass. Awesome show.
If you like to here a song tell a story, you guys should checkout Iron Maiden "Alexander The Great." You'll love it!!
good song, but it is like their 30th best song, if that.
@@Hollingsworth2781 And of course, as with anything, that is a matter of opinion. We should let them decide for themselves.
@@timclark1324 true. but i dont think most big iron maiden fans would rate it in the top 20. I think there are many more songs with more universal appeal so they would be more likely to give a positive review. but yes, it is all opinion.
Just hope you aren't invaded by the Greeks and Macedonians arguing over which country Alexander was from =p
HollingsworthGroup I’ve been a Maiden fan since their first record. Alexander the Great is definitely in my top 10. Not just for Maiden but all time songs of any genre.
Iron Maiden - the sign of the cross or the clansman (both from Rock in Rio)
Felipe Elosúa Montt the clansman for sure.
Just the best metal song! The entire Powerslave album is awesome. Up the Irons! 🤘
Valério Alberto 100%. Their best album, in my opinion. Doesn’t get as much love as other albums, but Powerslave is perfection and the band at their peak.
awesome band.....fuck the irons!
Best Iron Maiden albumin with some very good company.
See that iron maiden shirt you got on there ,I bought that exact same design in 1984.
God I’m old.
Unless you are are least 70+ you are not old.
lmao, epic.
You’re experienced
Steve Harris is the shit... Nobody does a pumping fingerstyle bass better than him.
he's up there for sure but for me,there are several above him: entwistle,mccartney,roger glover,james jamerson (motown) phil lynott,roger waters,mark king (look him up,you'll see why).
Wouldn't put ANY of them top of the pile but there IS an elite list,and Steve Harris is on it.
He got his style from Pete Way from UFO
Cliff Burton lays waste to all 🤘🏻
Adrian Smith and Dave Murray shine out for their exceptional talent to play meaningful, melodic solos, that serve the song. One of the best Iron Maiden songs, if not the best!
Can you hear the bass plugging away all the time and the leads playing in pairs note for note. It's so crisp and sharp. I just love it!!!
Hallowed by the name by Iron Maiden!!!!!
Dude, I remember when I was 14 back in 1985 buying Powerslave on vinyl from Tower Records and bringing it home. The first time listening to this song and then hearing the part of the song 11:35 to 11:55 and just being so blown away by what I had heard. I must of picked the needle up off the record and moved it back like 10 time in a row just to rehear that part of the song. I was real lucky I did not scratch my record. I finally got to see this song live in 2008 in Irvine, CA on the Somewhere Back In Time Tour. Such a great show. You need to watch this song live on Iron Maiden: Flight 666 dvd. "UP THE IRONS" \m/
Steve Harris (bassist)wrote this song and most of their songs.
Alexander the Great is another in this poetic lane, worth checking out.
First saw Maiden in 1983. Loved them then, love them now, and I'm 70 years old.
The shirt looks sharp, Andy. I recommend you guys react to Infinite Dreams next. Like Rime it isn't like the songs you have heard and it shows Iron Maiden's range.
Another Epic Maiden Classic. Nice work fellas.
I feel like you two are embarking on a great journey. I’ve been a maiden fan since 1983 when I first heard the Piece of Mind album. Up the Irons!
YES!!! So glad you did this song! One of my all time favorites!!
Iron Maiden - Alexander the Great next please!
A Big FUcken Yes mate.
Yeah absolutely!
Yep ! you gotta do Alexandra the Great
Absolutely epic masterpiece
This.
Seventh son of a seventh son is another great Iron Maiden song be good to review
Try my channel justin
The whole 7th son album is a masterpiece.
Iron Maiden, though labelled as a pioneer of heavy metal, I have felt is almost proto progressive metal. Concept albums, long literature based/story/sci fi songs, technically proficient. They're truly an amazing band. Even their later stuff post 2000. Brave New World, Matter of Life and Death, Book of Souls, all amazing. Changed vocalists couple times but Bruce is so iconic. Check out song Paschendale if you haven't already. Rock on guys!
The Powerslave tour was one awesome show, man. The stage was set up like an ancient Egyptian tomb. 30' tall Eddie. Total badassery. I've seen 'em a few times since, and it's always a good show. But that Powerslave stage...that was the shit.
Saw that one too. WASP opened. Still one of my top 5 shows.
@@independenceltd. Twisted Sister opened when I saw them.
Guys I've been following maiden since the early 80s. I'm an old fart now but they still push my buttons. I get goosebumps listening to them. Every album will have at least one track that is a history lesson and I can say that they are getting better with age. The songs that are coming from them now are just incredible.
I'm 70 years old next year. Been an Iron since the first album. My favourite band since. Seen them countless times in concert supposed to see them June past, but Covid ended that. Heaven knows when I'll see them again. If ever. New live album is a must.
Thank you! I’ve never clicked on a video as fast as I did just now.Cant wait for your talk at the end.You guys are going to smiling from ear to ear
This is my third Iron Maiden song.....can tell their sound now. (Am thinking of the difference between I Want to Hold your Hand and A Day in the Life) Liked the bass particularly. It is a story (the albatross, and all, etc.).
Haven't listened to Iron Maiden for decades, but I'm glad I tried them again! I love the incorporation of an actual poem (lyrics are poetry). I haven't read Rime of the Ancient Mariner since high school, so I don't know if it's a summary or not. Loved the last half, starting with the quiet mood change to climax. Good job guys & thanks for reintro to metal! Have a good one. :)
Good job guys, you are restoring my faith in the youth of the world carrying on good music!
I saw them do this song live a few times. On one of those occasions I got down really close to the stage and there was this long bar across the top of the front of the stage that was three parallel bands of pale red, blue, and green, and right in the middle, there was a circle kind of like a target in the same colors, and it looked ship-like, and had light fixtures attached to it. In that slower middle section where all that bass is, there was one part where the bass player was dragging a pick on his strings and it gave the impression of a creaking ship, and while that was happening the bar I mentioned was slowly swaying and I suddenly realized I was on that swaying, creaking ship, on a dead, still water and it occurred to me that I had just experienced one of those moments that creeps up on you and you don't recognize it until it's upon you. Amazing song and amazing live performance.
It's even better live....seriously it really is better live and yes Bruce hits it out the park
Todays banging tune request is a deep cut from 1989...MR.BIG - ADDICTED TO THAT RUSH...such a good blend of musicianship and a head bobbing tune and Billy Sheehan is easily by a mile the best bass player i have ever seen live....this song is just the tip
I remember listening to this song when the Powerslave album first came out and being totally blown away by it. Epic and one of Maidens best.
'Gangland' would be an excellent choice
Saw the concert, awesome just as I remembered it!
Have caught them live several times. Saw this tour at a smallish venue in Cincinnati, one of the best performances I have ever seen.
Awesome song and from a great album, I would suggest you try "To Tame a Land" it's based on the novel Dune.
Hollowed be thy name is the best song of Iron Maiden, must do
First saw Maiden in 1980 supporting Judas Priest on their "British Steel" tour. Amazing. Saw them again headlining on their "Killer" tour the next year - then didn't see them again until "The Book Of Souls" World tour in 2017. Brilliant, every time. My favourite Maiden song is "Aces High" so - if you haven't already done so - it would be good to see your reactions; it's a stoatir! All the best.
I know about 10 or so Maiden songs...I'll get to know more (like this one) along with you guys. Like others have said, try "Alexander the Great".
This record came out in 1984. I saw them for the first time on this tour - then saw 'em several more times in the 80's. I saw them again, for the first time since '88 just a few weeks ago - they've always been known for their live shows and they were incredible in the 80's. Now, all of them in the 60's {Bruce is the youngest at 61, Nicko [the drummer] is 67!]) they're better live now than they were then - and that's saying a LOT! They're playing nothing but their classic material on the current tour, if you have the opportunity you gotta go! Sound, lights, stage production, performance, EVERYTHING is 100% amazing this time around!
Now that you've got the commercial stuff out of the way, (if you can consider anything Maiden's done truly commercial) you can start digging into the deep cuts! That's where the really good shit is! In Sept, I'll be getting to see Iron Maiden live for the first time! I've been waiting on this concert for nearly 40 years!!!
Road Rash's Redline Resto Rods you speak truth about digging in to Maiden’s less “commercial stuff bro”.
I'm glad the "Legacy" continues...rocking out to Maiden since the 80's
One of my favorite bands, Mercyful Fate, announced yesterday that they will be playing an unspecified number of concerts throughout Europe during the summer of 2020. The band was put on hiatus in 1999 (after the last album and supporting tour), so you can believe I'm looking forward to next summer. Now, would you guys please be so kind and react to one of their classics? 🙏😁
"Evil", "Melissa", "Satan's Fall", "A Dangerous Meeting", "The Oath", "Come to the Sabbath", "The Bell Witch", "My Demon", "The Uninvited Guest" will all do.. but "Evil" might be a good start.
The Oath, Nightmare, Come to the Sabbath, At the Sound of the Demon Bell.
They're all great.
The quiet interlude (including the heavy riff leading into it)
Is up there with the best this band has created IMO. 🤟
I had to hit play when I saw this post. Thank you so much for listening to this fantastic epic by Iron Maiden. This track is one of their finest. If you ever get the time give 'Where Eagles Dare' a listen. Well done lads! :)
I mentioned Where Eagles Dare as well. Cheers!
Me and my friends at your age jamming this in a Ford Bronco 2 working after highschool and ripping homegrown tokes.
If you do an album review in the near future, PLEASE do Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Maiden. A masterpiece and a perfect classic/progressive metal album.
I absolutely wore that CD out back in the day. Masterpiece is right! The guitar synths they experimented with on this record really gave the songs such an atmospheric feel. So many good songs, but I think Infinite Dreams and the Title track are probably my favs.
My absolute favourite Maiden album!✌
Killer song! Now you've heard this one.. You have to check out the Live After Death version! Whether you both just check it out together or actually review it go check it out trust me!
Awesome job guys! React to "Caught Somewhere in Time" (also by Iron Maiden), and you'll see the bass line is sick, and of course the entire song as well!
Empire of the Clouds (Iron Maiden) is a masterpiece !
Good song, but not masterpiece. :(
NOT EVEN CLOSE DUDE! Terrible tune!
@@skorpeeo their worst song ever piano ffs
A wonderful song,and a great example of why Maiden still are at large!
Awesome track. One of my all time favorite Maiden songs.
I still remember how I ended up buying this "Powerslave" album.. I read a record review from a music magazine and after all the excess words, the record was a must-buy 😀 So my Iron Maiden journey didn't begin right from the start, but I got there.
15:50 Steve Harris, the bassist wrote the song. He is involved in almost every song. He started Maiden. ;)
Thanks for the lryics guys!It helps me to understand the music more :D
Peace
Thanks not stopping the jam to comment,like some do ... First time I have heard Iron Maiden! I plan to listen to more as the song was good!
Nobody will mention these songs so check out:
Amorphis - The Bee
Poisonblack - Nail
Insomnium - Black Heart Rebellion
Carach Angren - The Shining Was a Portent of Gloom
Kauan - Orkidea
Amorphis -Tales of a Thousand Lakes album, brilliance.
Been listening to Maiden 30 years. Heard Mariner 1000+ times. Envious to you guys as you are discovering Maiden. Welcome to the family.
Yes! Love this song, when I was in school in the 80s my English teacher actually let us play my cassette in the class when we were studying the poem
Very cool. You might want to try some Frank Zappa, Inca Roads may be a good starting point.
I'm the right age where when this song came out I was in high school. I actually had a literature class where we had to learn this poem. Maiden helped my get a good grade. lol! That tour (the Powerslave Tour) was amazing.
Can’t go wrong with Iron Maiden ! All their songs are put together well... awesome artist
Epic as fuck, saw them play this back in 87 was wonderful. Seen them 20 times or so since.
Hey guys. Thank you so SO much for choosing this song to react to. I've been anticipating this since you requested more Iron Maiden tracks.
Might I suggest you check out the live Flight 666 version also. Not necessarily to react to, but just to watch and to enjoy, and to see the masters at work. It's a cracking version.
Great reaction from you both as always. It's awesome that you both rate it so highly on your first hearing. Trust me it gets better still the more you hear it.
I regularly use it as a running song and it helps me run further and quicker.
Thanks again guys. Keep up the good work, and you could do worse than choose Hallowed be Thy Name next. It definitely won't disappoint either.
You two might enjoy reading "Erebus" by Michael Palin... the ancient mariner gets mentioned. It´s about the famous "Erebus" and her journeys to the ends of the world both south and north (for some background totally unrelated to music, lol). Up the irons!
This is a great anniversary year for many things (among them: Moon landing, Woodstock, Abbey Road, and Monty Python!)
This is so Epic. That is all I have to say. Seeing them next weekend in Toronto. Last time I saw them was on the Powerslave tour with Twisted Sister. Was such a kick add show. . BTW, really appreciate how you guys react by actually listening to the music and not pausing all the time with OTT reactions. 👍👍
This is an IRON MAIDEN classic. It's such a great song. You want some really cool songs to listen to? Check out these by Maiden:
Alexander the Great (about the famous king of Macedonia)
When the Wild Wind Blows
The Clansman (based on Scotland's fight for independence from England)
Empire Of the Clouds (about a famous airship disaster)
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
Stranger In A Strange Land
Revelations
To Tame A Land (based on the novel and movie - Dune
Fear Of the Dark
Phantom Of the Opera (based on a famous play)
Dickinson is such a boss, cancer knocked in his door and Bruce told it to F off! 🤘🏼Irons4Life
Before bruce Dickinson, they had a different singer, Paul Dianno. You should check out Purgatory or murders in the rue morgue. If you want to see how PUNK maiden can be, check out "I've got the fire" live at the Marquee 1980
The lyrics were at times really close to the original poem, but only two of the strophes were directly taken from the original poem (and Andy was right, one of them is when the song slows down) :
Day after day, day after day
We stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
All the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.
One after one by the star dogged moon
Too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye
Four times fifty living men
(And I heard nor sigh nor groan)
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump
They dropped down one by one.
I love this kind of Heavy Metal music! Classic poem plus Iron Maiden equals an amazing song! Thank you guys for choosing this song!
When I was in high school, any song that hit around the 10 minute mark was cool. "Rime" definitely was cool!
F#ck yeah, it's a 10 in my book. The entire album Powerslave is amazing. Check the opening song PowerSlave and The Duellists.
Also check out some more live stuff: "Hallowed be thy Name" at Hammersmith 1982 and see how long he can hold a note.
i think you would both love It Bites. A good song to start would be "Black December" (studio version).
Iron Maiden,in your fucking face.
Seen them many times,first time in London in '81 and they never fail to blow me away.
*bit of trivia for ya.
Bruce Dickinson is a qualified airline pilot and has flown many times and also an Olympic standard fencer.
Talented bloke.
Such a great Band. Phantom of the Opera should be on the list too, either the original which had Paul Di Anno on vocals or a Bruce Dickinson live version. Di Anno left about 1981, Bruce joined then with his first Album being Number of the Beast. He is also a Pilot, Author, Broadcaster and he was also once picked for the British Olympic Fencing team but couldn't compete because of Touring commitments. Loving the Video's!!!
Been a fan since maidens start, and this is one of my favorite songs period. I mean listen to Steve Harris and that tone, he’s the reason I’ve been playing bass forever. No other band even compares to maiden, hands down the best.
This song really showed their progression skills. So do most of their other songs, but very much so in this one
there are 2 excerpts taken directly from the poem. the part that starts, "day after day, day after day . . ." and the part when the boat is stuck, "one after one by the star-dogged moon . . ."
My senior english teacher had us listen to this in class. How awesome that was.
You should react to old Genesis song called "Super's ready". I read this is Steve Harris favourite song. It's a 25 minutes song, definitely a prog classic !
Hearing Bruce introduce this song on stage 'here's what not to do when a bird shits on your head '.
That was a great moment
one of the aspects that originally attracted me to maiden is how many songs they have based on classic works of literature.
Interesting bit of trivia - the lyrics to this song say the ship was sailing north.
But in the original poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge the ship was sailing south towards Antarctica.
Best Maiden song ever "Prodigal son". The Killers album literally changed my life. Freshman in High school just picked up Guitar.
The 'speaking' part is directly from the poem, the singing parts are Steve Harris' writing.
E, C, & D.....every Iron Maiden song....well, almost every song ;)
Guys, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge around 1834. Now that's what you might call bringing old poetry up to date!
I wonder how many of the English classics current musicians have read.
When doing Iron Maiden reviews, you should do the live versions. :)
Must Do Maiden Tracks" "Where Eagles Dare," "Revelations," "Flight of Icarus," "Die With Your Boots On," "Moonchild" to Name a Few
So here's the story : The poem starts off in a wedding, as an old and unnerving mariner grabs onto a wedding-guest and starts to forcibly tell his story. He is the last surviving member of his crew and the only one who can tell the story of how they all died at sea. As the mariner recalls, the ship had been sailing in mist for many day when he made the mistake of shooting the albatross that was following them, believing it was a bad omen. The wind dropped as soon as the albatross was killed and the crew blamed him for it. Days passed and the wind never came back and the water supply came to diminish. Angered, the crewmen hung the dead albatross to the mariner's neck, in place of his cross. But the wind never came back.
After what seemed like weeks, as they are all dying of thirst, they see a ship approaching in the horizon. They all cheer, thinking they are saved, but no one stops to wonder how the ship can sail without wind or a tide. And when the ship was close enough, it was not a ship but the skeleton of a ship that appeared before their eyes. On it were two spectres playing dice to decide of the mariner's fate. Life-in-Death won over Death, and so the mariner was condemned to survive his comrades and remain eternally in a in-between state, suffering from the thirst and the guilt, but unable to die. This went on for seven days and seven nights until the curse was lifted, after the mariner was moved by the beauty of a sea creature and started to pray again. The story goes on, but that's pretty much the gist of it.
You're the best guys. You don't stop the song. AND you talk about it afterwards... Which is really your thing. Congrats.
Please review some Queensryche! They are like the Rush of metal bands. Heavily influenced by Rush as well. Singers voice will blow you away.
Impossible to find a 13 mins tune anywhere near as good as this ,fire geezers 🔥 10/10 for fkin sure
Iron Maiden - Fly of Icarus. De antemano Gracias/Thank you so much.
This song is a masterpiece. Steve Harris ' bass was astonishing.
One of their hardest rockin songs .... legendary Maiden right there and they kill it live in concert.
Truly, a song that can change how you listen to music for the rest of your life.
Ohh my god- you need to hear " Childhood's end " by them..
That bass.....
