Grew up with Maiden, will die with Maiden. The thinking man's metal. "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, written in 1797-1798 "
It's based on a famous poem of the same name. It's wild. I love Maiden's dueling guitars, and Dickenson hasn't lost any of his voice from when he was young. One of the goats.
I used to hang out and drink with these guys back in the late 70s, early 80s in our local pub The Ruskin Arms in East London. They were the most humble decent guys you could meet. I must have seen them play there at least 30 times before they made the big time. I met Bruce when he was the singer with Sansom and it was obvious he would join Iron Maiden. I even played football ⚽️ with Stevie Harris for our local amateur team (Melbourne FC) and believe me he was as good at that as he is on the bass....and they really can tell a story!!!! Best thing about Iron Maiden is they've stayed true rockers and are STILL the most decent humble guys you could meet......up the Irons ⚒️⚒️⚒️
@rickymitchell3162 East Ham High Street,.....down towards Manor Park,...if you came out of East Ham tube station, turn right.....about half a mile along......bit of a shithole now!!!⚒️⚒️
Yes and they shall make sure to pull up the lyrics too, because it's a history lesson. A very brutal history lesson that we not just pass by uneffected.
fun little fact you'll appreciate about Bruce Dickenson (singer): pretty much everyone who goes to a Maiden show says that Bruce sings for the back of the venue every time he performs...that's where that crazy volume in the belting comes from. And yes - it's one song. Pretty much like a four movement play.
BTW: the singer Bruce Dickinson is a pilot and on the tour he is always flying Maiden to the different tour places. They always have their own jet with an Eddie Emblem on.
Iron Maiden are story tellers in every song basically! This was the song I was hoping to see you do since your first Iron Maiden reaction stoked you got to hear it! I saw them live on this same tour the flight 666 tour.... Which is the singer Bruce Dickensons own commerical flight that he piloted for the tour.. If you noticed in the very beginning they showed the airplane landing that was Bruce flying the plane! The plane had an image of Eddie their mascot character and it said flight 666 on it.. I probably wouldnt want to have been on any one of those flights they did for the tour even for the bragging rights of I got to be on an iron maiden private flight lol Nope no thanks but ill come see your show when you fly into my town hahaha
These guys are known for literally spending the most money in pyrotechnics and stage setups on their tours than 90% of any bands of all time. They world tour every album, and do continental tours between world tours and albums. They still do it and have been doing it since the early 80s. One reason why they’re the best.
This is called a metal anthem. One of the best metal songs ever written. Adrian never plays his lead the same way twice on this but Dave always nails the studio lead. Both brilliant guitarists in their own right. Bruce is the top three frontmen in metal, Steve is my favorite metal bassist and Nico is on the Mount Rushmore of metal drummers. The fact that they are still playing today is unbelievable.
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere) is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, written in 1797-1798 and published in 1798 in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads. Along with other poems in Lyrical Ballads, it is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature.
one of Maidens best songs this era of maiden and No where In Time are my favorite albums The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is the best thing they ever written/ most Metal good Metal is someone telling a story you look songs written by Maiden are from poems and books. Lol "He always Looks Happy" he gets to do what he loves in from of 1000s of people a night who love and adore him... if that cant make you happy nothing will. how the schools have failed us anyone have to memorize this poem in High School or the Jabberwocky
That's why he stands in the spot any other bands singer would be in - it's his band and he's front and centre irrespective of the fact he's the Bass guitarist
Love the content keep them coming Pantera Domination live Moskow is a great one ,Cemetery gates, Walk, Cowboys from Hell, Mouth for war, Im Broken are just a few
Yesss!!!! I went to this tour in new Zealand. Rotam is my most fav maiden song. If you think this was long you should react to their 18 minute beast called Empire of the clouds. Loving your maiden reactions
This Is a 13 Minute Live Epic Masterpiece Yet Again From The Masters Of Metal Iron Maiden, Great Reaction Guys 👏 I Like The Way You Let The Songs Play Through To Their Conclusion and Then Give Your Thoughts? Other Reactors Stop and Start Every Couple Of Minutes? Which Can Be a Bit Frustrating! You Should React To Iron Maiden - The Talisman - Live En Vivo - Another Epic From Maiden.
39 years ago - I was 13 and saw The World Slavery Tour live- My first of many Iron Maiden shows and my life changed for ever for ever an Iron Maiden fan!!
Not "rock" so much generally speaking - but "metal" definitely is more poetically written with various movements and changes in the songs with deep profound messages. This one is a direct translation from the poem-story of the same name by Samuel Taylor Coolidge.
You really need to watch the live after death version. The 1985 tour doesn't get enough reactions, but that is the tour which started my love affair with Maiden when I was 10 years old.
I am the 666th like on the Dance of Death video as well as here too. The number of the beast is calling 🤘 Anyway keep it up guys, Maiden are absolutely legendary. You might check out Alexander the Great, another epic song.
Maiden is the best metal band of ALL TIME. But their songs are about historical facts or myths (many of them) just like this. So it's education at the same time. Best LIVE band you'll ever see. And Steve Harris is the best bass guitarist without a doubt.
Another incredible vocal talent (and band pilot), Bruce Dickinson is a UK national treasure. Iron Maiden are one of the few metal bands to truly transcend their genre to become a really great rock band.
They are doing a 2024' US Tour. Look up tickets. I'm seeing them in Sacramento in Oct of 2024' ( 7th time. First was in 84') still put on a killer show. Go to one!!!
I definitely wouldn't generalize rock with storytelling and lump Maiden in with a lot of other bands in this sense. Many have followed, copied or been heavily influenced by Maiden's lyrical approach, but Maiden have earned their own category based on how deep and expansive their catalog is. You've just scratched the surface. Maiden and Pink Floyd deserve their own genres based on their bodies of work.
Great to listen to this song with lyrics. You can better understand the story. Up The Irons 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Highly suggest you read the short story. Maiden composed this song to go along with the mood of the story. Iron Maiden: The only metal band where you gain intelligence from listening to them. No interpretation needed. Just an open mind to learning about history. Wars, battles, poems, short stories, mythology, historical figures...A wealth of knowledge at your fingertips
This song is based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coolidge another great song based on another of his poems is "Xanadu" by RUSH if you choose to react to it i strongly suggest the "81" Exit stage Left Live version its Epic
Next one's is (Trooper ,Blood Brothers, dance of death, matter of life an death 22 acacia avenue, Fear of the dark,seveth son of a seventh son,power slave and many many more . !..!,❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know you meant it as a joke but there are AMAZING modern musicians. If anything there’s more than there was in the 80’s. They just don’t get mainstream attention because the music industry isn’t based on talent or artistry.

Job, good, ashley!
@@Youlookeddidntyou
Best live band in history
Overall I agree
Saw on first album tour 80 and beast tour 84
Best band in multiverse
That's awesome. I saw somewhere in time in 86 and seventh son after that 88 I think maybe 87
Come now. Top 10 absolutely, but let's not be precocious now. Best in the world? Mmmmm perhaps not quite that much.
No rock band teaches you more about history and literature than Iron Maiden!
Up the Irons! 🤘
Well... check out Sabaton. Most of their songs are about historic tales of epic battles during the many wars in history.
short story by poet Samual tailor
Long life to Iron Maiden!!!
Grew up with Maiden, will die with Maiden. The thinking man's metal.

Tripling guitars. 😉
C'était il y a presque 20 ans
Iron maiden one of the greatest metal story tellers
I'll never tire of hearing the guitar solos in the second half, my favourite of all of theirs!
11:47 “this is all one song” I had a Grin from ear to ear when you said that.
Maiden are truly the best story tellers in Music History . 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Up the Iron’s 🤘🤘

Check out Iron Maiden doing Paschendale live (death on the road) for another "atmospheric" stage show.
Yes and they shall make sure to pull up the lyrics too, because it's a history lesson.
A very brutal history lesson that we not just pass by uneffected.
Best band ever walked at this planet

Bruce has retired from piloting due to aging out and the planes were leased by the band

If I had 15 minutes left of my life, I want to go out with this blasting out the speakers
So hype you listened to and watched this. Up the Irons!!!!

The buildup after the instrumental section is one of the best things ever.
The bass player is the founder and main writer of all the songs (mostly) Steve Harris.
No other band can reach them!!!!!!They are unique musicians!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉❤❤
No, this is not all one song, this a f*cking masterpiece!.
Pocos grupos, por no decir ninguno, en el mundo suenan con tanta maestría, contundencia y magnificencia como Iron Maiden... Maestros de Maestros!
Estoy completamente de acuerdo con todo lo que usted ha enunciado. ¡Larga vida a Iron Maiden!
I could blow my ear drums listening to this song! Such a great one! Even better if you know the story of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
They are excellant to see live they really do a great show and they like story telling you can learn about history through listening 😉❤️🤘
I did my whole senior term paper on this tune back in 1986-aced it-got an A
I was fortunate to see them play this in 1984 in Chicago. Incredible show!
One of, if not the greatest solo in history 🔥 Epic guitar face lol skin crawls every time

Listen to this 1 when I'm happy,sad,angry,ancious...pretty much 24/7... lol 😅 WHAT A DRIVE...The nuyances....whoa..
Fear of the dark live in Río...saludos desde Chile
04:53 That bassist is the hearth and soul of Iron Maiden.
Especially considering he wrote most of their songs.
That's why he stands in the spot any other bands singer would be in - it's his band and he's front and centre irrespective of the fact he's the Bass guitarist
I was lucky enough to see them live on that tour. They hadn’t played that song live since 1985!
Was lucjy enough to see them in 1984 and hear that epic song live back then.
Love your Iron Maiden reactions!!!
Simplesmente espetacular, perfeito do inicio ao fim 🇧🇷
Love the content keep them coming Pantera Domination live Moskow is a great one ,Cemetery gates, Walk, Cowboys from Hell, Mouth for war, Im Broken are just a few

Saw them in 86 then again in July this yr still amazing.
Go deep down the rabbit hole of Iron Maiden, you'll be amazed
I am Marine was in SE Asia first 1978. Had cassette tape with this and The Trooper played it wherever I landed. If they liked had new brothers
Bruce is the reason why some of the heavy metal kids did well in high school history
You mean the band
Best live band ever 🎉
Shoutout from Brazil! 🇧🇷 Up the irons! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
My 1st concert was Maiden. Kicked my ass at 14 and is still doing so 40yrs later
Not "rock" so much generally speaking - but "metal" definitely is more poetically written with various movements and changes in the songs with deep profound messages.

Amazing band. Amazing song. I love this band
You really need to watch the live after death version. The 1985 tour doesn't get enough reactions, but that is the tour which started my love affair with Maiden when I was 10 years old.
I’ve been a Maiden fan for almost 2 years and I agree with you. This was good, but 1985 was more powerful
I am the 666th like on the Dance of Death video as well as here too. The number of the beast is calling 🤘 Anyway keep it up guys, Maiden are absolutely legendary. You might check out Alexander the Great, another epic song.
May 27, 1985 Rochester, NY
is the first time I saw Iron Maiden with Accept. What a great time to be a teenager.
Yall should do more sabbath from their early 70s stuff, they have lots of bangers, you gonna love em fo sho
Just saw them in October they still kick ass.
Maiden is the best metal band of ALL TIME. But their songs are about historical facts or myths (many of them) just like this. So it's education at the same time. Best LIVE band you'll ever see. And Steve Harris is the best bass guitarist without a doubt.
yes, that's all one song, may check Alexander The Great and Empire of the Clouds you will love them too.
If you wanna hear tempo changes,do Sign Of The Cross-LIVE..(with Maiden,of course)
Another incredible vocal talent (and band pilot), Bruce Dickinson is a UK national treasure. Iron Maiden are one of the few metal bands to truly transcend their genre to become a really great rock band.
Marcus this is one of my favorites of all time!
For another side to the band checkout The Journey Man live in Dortmund.
They will be on tourin 2024,we already got our ticketsin New York, you must see them
They are doing a 2024' US Tour. Look up tickets. I'm seeing them in Sacramento in Oct of 2024' ( 7th time. First was in 84') still put on a killer show. Go to one!!!
I remember reading the poem in high school in 1986. I feel like it made me a better person, gave me needed perspective as a teenaged boy with autism.
One of the best metal songs ever created. First saw it live in 1985 as a young kid.
an epic gift in the 2000s, for those of us who grew up listening to iron maiden. Up the irons! 🤟 and long life to Bruce Dickinson!
I definitely wouldn't generalize rock with storytelling and lump Maiden in with a lot of other bands in this sense.

Great jamming storytellers, great band!!!
🔥🔥
Have a look at When The Wild Wind Blows and Paschendaele
Great to listen to this song with lyrics. You can better understand the story.
Up The Irons 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Highly suggest you read the short story. Maiden composed this song to go along with the mood of the story.
Iron Maiden: The only metal band where you gain intelligence from listening to them.
No interpretation needed. Just an open mind to learning about history.
Wars, battles, poems, short stories, mythology, historical figures...A wealth of knowledge at your fingertips
Nobody telling a story, gives a history lesson better than Iron Maiden.
THE BASS IS SICK
Iron maiden is the 💩✊🏽
UP THE IRONS!!!
THE BEST LIVE !
My all time fav band listen to Fear of the dark live version
Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds
This song is based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coolidge another great song based on another of his poems is "Xanadu" by RUSH if you choose to react to it i strongly suggest the "81" Exit stage Left Live version its Epic
UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘
The only way to actually experience this song is live. Seen MAIDEN 9 times 35 years. And each time was better than the last!
Next one's is (Trooper ,Blood Brothers, dance of death, matter of life an death 22 acacia avenue,
Fear of the dark,seveth son of a seventh son,power slave and many many more . !..!,❤❤❤❤❤❤
Heavy metal gods!!! 🎸🎸🤘🤘
The Live after Death version is great too.
Absolutely
the drummer and bass is tight
THIS IS ALL ONE SONG!? 👀
😂😂😂 hell yeah it is 🤘
Yes kids, in the 80s, there were these people called "musicians."
I know you meant it as a joke but there are AMAZING modern musicians. If anything there’s more than there was in the 80’s. They just don’t get mainstream attention because the music industry isn’t based on talent or artistry.
Classic Maiden. 🤘
I was there first time around ❤
the bass player is the main writers
this song should be taught in universities.....just an anthem in the history of music
Man . I was there ! 😊😊😊
Heavy Metal is the Best Music on this Planet !
15 minutes left on earth it will be remember tommorow and Europe's its the final countdown
They tell stories🎉
All Member of Maiden in 2023 are older than 65 years and the Drummer Nicko ist over 70
