He's a convicted prisoner being led out to the gallows to be executed by hanging. They usually close the show with this and considering that's at the end of a 2-2.5 hour set for them to still have the energy they do and for Bruce to sound as good as he does singing at his age and after throat operations, it's breathtaking.
To add to that, it is never known why he was a prisoner. I have seen Maiden many times and you are right they do end their shows with this and the energy is just so amazing. Up the Irons!
They don't usually close the show with this. This is in the late part of the show, with The Number Of The Beast but they close it with Run To The Hills, Iron Maiden (is gonna get you! 😂) and Running Free
@@robyfiorili They stopped playing it for awhile due to a lawsuit, but have since returned it to the setlist. Every time I have seen them they closed with it. May be different now.
@@donbergeson6771 Every single show of theirs I have been to they closed and jam with Running Free (in the 80s and 90s). In the Live After Death, Running Free is the final song too. I've been a fan for 15 years at that time, and everyone did know Running Free was their final song as well as 2+2=4. Maybe not now
I saw them in Milwaukee for that tour, 2nd row, near the center aisle. Steve Harris seemingly looking right at me, singing along to Bruce on certain songs, sweat dripping off him and influencing my musical direction. Instantly my favorite band!!!!!!
There are many great Iron Maiden songs through their years, some for the lyrics ,some for the amazing music being played and when you can absorb all of it together it really gets deep. i think it would be fun seeing your reaction to their song called -- 22 Acacia avenue it really jams.
Contemplating his life, knowing his death is coming, the five final stages of grief run through this man. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance ... *Awesome lyrics!*
Holy shit, this song slapped the soul out of my body. My first time hearing it, I was never much of an Iron Maiden guy, I didn't know they went this HARD and so melodic, and the vocals OMG, that boy has lungs. Love it love it love it, goes into my music folder immediately.
Its the "Day in the Life" of metal. Anyone that even TRIES to make their 'own version' of it is instantly an asshole and is rightly shunned! Haha! And I'm a punk rock dude, not when really a metal dude, and even I KNOW THAT! 💯
You are wrong. They are not one the best. Saying they are one of the best implies there are bands of equal measure. There is not. Maiden reigns supreme
Shout out to the late Clive Burr on the drums. This was his last appearance on an Iron Maiden record. I never really understood why he was replaced until it was revealed later that Clive had been diagnosed with MS and it left him unable to play and tour. I'm glad you noticed the energy he is putting out during this song. It's quite something to see live played live \m/
I've been stuck on listening songs i love with you guys . appreciating that you are taking time to experience these greats. the way you feel the music and the guitars i like watching with you.
You really need to see that live to see the truly amazing range of Bruce Dickinsons vocal range. And see why they call him the human Air Raid Siren 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Yes Phil Lynott was , is ,and always will be the greatest!!! Iron Maiden sound comes from Thin Lizzy. Twin guitars up front. Brian Downey's drums. Yeah.
also seen these guy's live in 1985 at the fabulous forum, in L.A , it was the peace of mind tour i was 15, and the show was so amazing we went back the next night and bought scalper tickets and the show was just as amazing, and to see Eddie Maiden hover over the crowd was wild, and i still have that ticket stub also...
Damn now you’re busting out some Iron Maiden! You guys are getting it on today. And yes this is a fire ass song by Iron Maiden you’re gonna love this. The musicianship is off the hook!!!
I was in middle school the first time I heard Iron Maiden - was 14 the first time I saw them live in the 80's. Will be seeing them live for the 6th time in October at the age of 51 - Iron Maiden, like Rush and a few other bands have been the soundtrack for my entire adult life. It is always great to see other people appreciate them and experience them for the first time.
I grew up listening to this band being the favorite band of my dads and his 6 brothers in texas this album alone was played NUMEROUS times at bbqs and brings back so many memories, First concert when i was in third grade in Detroit was this band, and i can say listening to them never gets old, Bruce's vocal ability is legendary along with the entire band and will forever be the greatest metal band in my eyes.
Thumbs up all over the place for this one. This is one of the maidens most atmospheric and dynamic Tunes. It is a fan-favorite and there haven't been many tours that they did not play this song on. I would recommend the track fear of the dark as it is another great example of Maidens ability to touch on subtle and also explosive Dynamics. Good stuff. Cheers
I was in high school when I first heard Iron Maiden. I had just picked up and started learning to play the guitar 🎸 I was going on 16 and trying to learn all the great rock that was coming out at the time(Boston,Journey,Kansas,Styx,Van Halen of course)🤣 I wasn’t really into the real hard stuff but then I hear this song called “Flight of Icarus”by Iron Maiden” and it gave me goosebumps 😳and my whole outlook on rock changed in that moment🤔and to this day when I wanna go hard, they’re my go to band! Not long after that experience, I go to pick up a copy of the Guinness Book of World 🌎 Records which was a “thing”for me back then and I started thumbing through it and I saw that Iron Maiden had taken the crown from The Who as the LOUDEST BAND IN THE WORLD 🌍😆 A title which they held for quite a while🤟Y’all have got to hear Rime of the Ancient Mariner! It’s their “crowning achievement”It’s a long one, but trust me when I say it is well worth the sit down 😁 14:39
I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime... Reflecting on my past life, and it doesn't have much time. So poetic and profound. He's about to be taken to his death, and sings about what he's going through. Been listening to Maiden since 1983. NOTB, Bruce Dickinson's first album as singer of Maiden. That's right BJ 🤘🤘. Up the Irons!
These reactions to 'Hallowed' never get old. I spoke to guy in work. We went to see Clutch. Awesome band. He said he's never been a Maiden fan but he likes 2 Minutes to Midnight. 'You're a Maiden fan, you just don't know it' ,😂 I've heard 'Hallowed' thousands of times but it always stands the hairs on the back of my kneck
40 years old and I still get shivers down my arms 👏🤟 Saw them at The Roskilde Festival back in '03. Not ideal playing in the afternoon in broad daylight if you ask me, but Maiden still always give you what you want. This is one of the rally epic hard rock songs ever recorded. A true masterpiece.
Rock n roll is the best music ever. Thousands of songs filled with knowledge life experiences a solution to problems. It's got it all. Suggest it to everyone.
Iron Maiden 🤘🏻 One of the GREATEST bands of all time! I love the stories their songs tell. You need to listen to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden! It's a 13 minute song but a great story. Love you guys 🤘🏻
Toss up between my faves Iron Maiden & Black Sabbath I have been warming up on my drum set to this song for decades. My fave drummer along with Keith Moon (The Who). Just Pure raw Talent. By the way these guys still sound like this live
I seen them back in 88 and it's still one of the BEST SHOWS i've ever seen live. I seen bruce and adiran when he did his solo stuff and got to meet them in Detroit.. Awesome guys
You need show the video to this, the live version it is awesome, they're one of the best live performers. It is a about death row. One of the best bands ever and still going. Love them videos,live and in concert must see PLEASE SHOW THEM 🙏❤💕 MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 💕BRANDI MODRAK YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
You have to check out Iron Maiden live in Rio. The sold out a soccer stadium that held 125 thousand people. The crowd is insane and Maiden crushes every song.
Its cool you are just looking at the album cover when you are listening to the song. That's how we did it when records came out in this era. Back cover too. Especially this album.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Carrying the lows for that long in a row. I have seen more Iron Maiden than any other group and I seen alot back in the day. Asia BJ. You have definitely stepped into different realms. You two rock.. from Adam Calhoun to Maiden! What's next?? How about "The Lacs" huh!!
2:56 to 3:20 approx: Asia and Bj headbanging to the same beat side by side. Bj concentrating on listening to the guitar, and beautiful Asia totally immersed in the rhythm. Great moment 🤣🤣
The official video was recorded live in 1982 in Hammersmith days before the album was released and is better then the studio version. 40 albums,touring this year and almost 3k of concerts and the lead guitaristS playing in harmony.
You guys MUST watch Iron Maiden Live these performances really showcase how awesome the band and Bruce Dickenson perform rock theater is what its all about. A new appreciation for Maiden when you see them play for huge crowds.
Another great choice in songs you guys, and as for other Iron Maiden songs to critique, all I have to say is The Trooper, The Trooper, The Trooper!! 🤘🏻
4:07 hell yeah u feelin it! the other maiden songs u should check out: Deja Vu, Only the Good Die Young, The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner, Aces High, The Evil That Men Do, Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Infinite Dreams, Powerslave
I love how new generations are appreciating Iron maidens genius and how it still stands up today. It validates how much I was into them back in the 80's . The bands incredible skills as story tellers and musicians. (Rime of the Ancient Mariner is one of the best story telling tunes to check out.) Part of the problem to get people to really listen to them for the first time back then was that the recordings of those first albums were not very good and the bass wasn't there unless you really had it blasting through the old Akai ProLab if you could afford one. So first time listeners a lot of the time only heard a racket coming out of a crappy stereo and could not hear the lyrics properly and promptly went scurrying back to their pop music. IM will always be number 1 for me, so many great memories and partys had listening to them. The worst thing did happen to our group of friends, We all pre bought tickets to the Power Slaves concert in New Zealand one town over when the new album was released and had been looking forward to it for weeks only to have a Wharfies strike in Australia prevent the set and PA gear getting here on time so the concert was cancelled ! It still hurts to this day that we missed the most iconic show they ever did. Very sad we just had to get drunk instead and wind up the stereo :( Cheers from NZ & "Up The Iron's"
😂😂😂... I TOTALLY understand what you mean, being lost in the drums and guitars of Maiden. Hevenu been so since about 1983....this group was the one that took me to Heavy Metal and musiv in the first place.... I can still get chills listening to Iron Maiden 🙏
I love that you guys are getting into the metal scene. Heavy metal is a lifestyle not just music. Iron Maiden is one if the greats. Steve Harris bass playing the best in the business.

Every time! Best Live album ever
@@michaelpennington9327 You nailed it!!!
So California, Long Beach Arena, I want you, I want you and you….
Same bro all I hear is scream for me download

Rule #1 with Iron Maiden. Gotta watch it LIVE !
They all command the stage
always a great performance
And the crowds are so involved.
Exactly!! The best version of Hallowed Be Thy Name is at the 2001 Rock in Rio!
Holy shit, this song slapped the soul out of my body.
My first time hearing it, I was never much of an Iron Maiden guy, I didn't know they went this HARD and so melodic, and the vocals OMG, that boy has lungs.
Love it love it love it, goes into my music folder immediately.
My first Maiden show was for this album 1982, I was 13, I’m am 52 now. Up the Irons for life! This is real Metal 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
Same as me, born 1970( quess you a 69'r) I watched this show here in Stockholm and Bon Jovi was the opening band 😱🤟🇸🇪
First Maiden show was Powerslave in Seattle. Moved to Bay Area ‘91…
My very first gig on Seventh Son tour Birmingham NEC age 14, they very kindly recorded and released it as Maiden England for me.
I saw them at DotG in 1982 also.
@@ericcrane4871 yep 1982 was the year "Eddie" was executed on stage and Bon Jovi was their opening band with their first song "Runaway" 🤟
I'll argue ALL DAY that this is the best metal song ever made!!! 💯😎
And you would be correct
Couldnt agree more
Yes...
Its the "Day in the Life" of metal. Anyone that even TRIES to make their 'own version' of it is instantly an asshole and is rightly shunned! Haha!
And I'm a punk rock dude, not when really a metal dude, and even I KNOW THAT! 💯
Hallowed be the name is the best song ever made ! The composition is so simple but unique nobody else had imaginated it!
What the lyrics says and for the musical composition that tell us exactly the moment when he is being killed is one of my favourite songs ever
So many to choose from!" Wasted Years "is a pretty powerful song musically and lyrically.
Iron Maiden is one of the best live bands EVER. so if you gonna go Maiden you gotta go LIVE
You are wrong. They are not one the best. Saying they are one of the best implies there are bands of equal measure. There is not. Maiden reigns supreme
Fucking rights. Saw them twice and they are still so powerful.
Shout out to the late Clive Burr on the drums. This was his last appearance on an Iron Maiden record. I never really understood why he was replaced until it was revealed later that Clive had been diagnosed with MS and it left him unable to play and tour.

Iron Maidan are straight up Legends 🔥🤘🔥 band, vocals, writing.. all of it & their concerts, pfft “ ammazing” 💯
Fire song & Reaction ♥️ y’all
Iron Maiden are pretty good too...
You really need to see that live to see the truly amazing range of Bruce Dickinsons vocal range. And see why they call him the human Air Raid Siren 🤟🏻🤟🏻
One of the only times I ever recommend the live version over the studio version.
Having a bass player as the main song writer makes for some awesome rhythms.
Yes Phil Lynott was , is ,and always will be the greatest!!! Iron Maiden sound comes from Thin Lizzy. Twin guitars up front. Brian Downey's drums. Yeah.
Seen Iron Maiden in the 80s 90s 00 10. Four different decades. Never gets old even took my Eighty old father to see them. He loved it.
Great react!
Best album, best Maiden song and the best Line Up with the monster Clive Burr on drums!
Best metal drummer (rip)
Up the Irons!
Iron Maiden and motown filled both sides of my house growing up. Heard it all. All is good.
"Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"... great song that shows off Bruce Dickinson's amazing vocal talents
and Nickos timing on the snare. dont forget that.
It’s hard to hide those powerful chops..
Every song on every album after number of the beast shows them off. (Those two in the 90s don't count)
also seen these guy's live in 1985 at the fabulous forum, in L.A , it was the peace of mind tour i was 15, and the show was so amazing we went back the next night and bought scalper tickets and the show was just as amazing, and to see Eddie Maiden hover over the crowd was wild, and i still have that ticket stub also...
I don't think you guys reacted to the the Iron Maiden song "The Trooper" yet, that's a good one.
Also Aces High
Saw them twice live. Iron Maiden shows are amazing. Best metal band ever. Up the irons 👊
The driving rhythm when they come out of the solos is the best moment in hard rock. This band had so much feel.
Clive Burr was such an underrated drummer, Nicko may be more technical but Clive had that swing vibe.
Damn now you’re busting out some Iron Maiden! You guys are getting it on today. And yes this is a fire ass song by Iron Maiden you’re gonna love this. The musicianship is off the hook!!!
I freaking love you guy....GREAT SONG...I grew up on Iron maiden.....glad someones representing the old but goodies.....Thank you
Watch them live in concert you will not regret it. Ultimate showmen.
Finally someone does a reaction to the studio version!
Deep, introspective lyrics, powerful & melodic vocals, outstanding musicianship... this song has EVERYTHING!!
Alexander The Great by Iron Maiden is a must play song!

They have 2 classically trained lead guitarists and a legendary singer. Solid band!
And a bassist with the energy and drive of a thousand galloping steeds.

You need to see the live version! Trust me!
*The 80's live version
82 hammersmith apollo specifically
From Death on the Road
@@allbies Yes, that one is CLASSIC!
LIVE after Death!
Up the Irons! Maiden forever! "Wasted Years" , "Fear of the Dark" live in Rio, "Dance of Death" en vivo, "Pashcendale". So many songs.
Lol my sister used to be a metal head and all of these songs used to scare the crap out of me lol. Now I’m enjoying them.
If you love the drums you have to listen to them doing Run to the Hills, great lyrics too
Gangland ... Great drumming ...
Follow the lyrics on this one... Incredible storytelling.... The 82 live Hammersmith performance is perfect
God level status live performances, I don't say that lightly.
Maiden writes a few of their songs on history. Aces High & Wasted Years are great!
As Bruce D. has even a Degree on that !
Idk bout Bruce but Steve Harris writes most of their music & lyrics.
Bruce flies the plane Ed Force One lol

Keep safe, we salute you from France.
It can’t get any better than that. One of the top 10 heavy metal song of all time.
40 years old and I still get shivers down my arms 👏🤟 Saw them at The Roskilde Festival back in '03. Not ideal playing in the afternoon in broad daylight if you ask me, but Maiden still always give you what you want. This is one of the rally epic hard rock songs ever recorded. A true masterpiece.
This is a bad ass song by one of the best along with dio sabbath n priest you guys reaction is awesome
the concert are amazingly fun to be at. great environment and great energy .
That's true. My first experience with iron maiden was in 5th grade and the song was fear of the dark. Strong love for that song
That album cover was the best blacklight poster ever
Lol ty i know im aging myself when i say yes and brings back good memories
God be with you, too
Rock n roll is the best music ever. Thousands of songs filled with knowledge life experiences a solution to problems. It's got it all. Suggest it to everyone.
My favorite Maiden song. ❤️❤️❤️ Hope you guys go on a Maiden journey and react to a lot of their songs. 😉
Iron Maiden 🤘🏻 One of the GREATEST bands of all time! I love the stories their songs tell. You need to listen to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden! It's a 13 minute song but a great story. Love you guys 🤘🏻
What’s that saying....It takes a history teacher two weeks to do a lesson, Iron Maiden gets in done in a 3 to 5 minute song....,

Toss up between my faves Iron Maiden & Black Sabbath
I have been warming up on my drum set to this song for decades.
My fave drummer along with Keith Moon (The Who). Just Pure raw Talent.
By the way these guys still sound like this live
I like the live version because you can see 👀..how technically excellent these guitarists are. UP THE IRONS

Same. I always complain when people don't react to the proper studio version, but this is the exception.
“Fear of the Dark” in Rio!!!!!!
“Scream for me Asia&BJ!! Screeeeam!!!”
My favorite from them is "Run To The Hills." Definitely give that one a reaction too. Thanks!
Such greatness!!!

These guys are consummate musicians with a degree of skill I could only hope to emulate.
Hey BJ as a drum fan check out Nicko's drumming on Where Eagles Dare and Rime of the Ancient Mariner for your personal enjoyment. He's a beast!
as a fan of guitar hero and whos played it competitively this song is top 3 most fun songs ive ever played just to play
I love that you guys are getting into the metal scene. Heavy metal is a lifestyle not just music. Iron Maiden is one if the greats. Steve Harris bass playing the best in the business.
Iron madien is fucking epic!!!!
