This was the first album for Nicko. That intro alone is epic. I was listening to this album last week and that intro, was like wow. For the next mid month Maiden has to be Alexander The Great from their recent European tour.
Easily in my Iron Maiden top 5:what I love about Iron Maiden is when they have a killer riff they sledgehammer you into submission with it and never let up.This song is a perfect example.
You played my favorite Maiden drumming song on my favorite Maiden album. One of my recommended songs, of course. It was the introduction of the new drummer at the time Nicko McBrain who now is age 72. Yes Larry, back in school we wrote band names, like Iron Maiden on our folders, at least I did. This song was written by Steve Harris and is based on a 1968 war adventure film, which was based on the 1967 novel of the same name by Alistair MacLean. Larry's is right Dickinson's voice is not what it use to be in the peak years of this album, it's still good though.
You like the drumming, do ya? Haha. You might enjoy my little edit where I extend the opening riff and insert the opening drum solo right after the solos. A verbal description does no justice. But imagine a slightly longer intro and a reprise of the drums in the middle of the song, lol.

A fitting tribute to a great influential band. Over the years they have had countless hits and shows. Each show just as grand as the last. Great song from a great album. I used to jam this all the time, good times. Great to see y'all as always-hope y'all have an awesome week. One week from today is MY day 😁 much love&respect ❣🤘✌❣
FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY.... YES. AND YES. This is MY VERY FIRST IRON MAIDEN Song I EVER HEARD... Your Life is now Forever CHANGED...... CONGRATULATIONS ......!!!!!!!!!!
Inspired by the film, Where Eagles Dare (1968), starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, screenplay by Alastair MacLean and based on his novel, it's a convoluted WW2 plot about a British SOE (Special Operations Executive) mission to rescue an American General held prisoner in a castle called Schloß Adler (Eagle Castle) in the Bavarian Alps. It's an enjoyable yarn, but not based on any real historical event, unlike many of Iron Maiden's songs. Great enthusiastic reaction. Bruce does have the best voice of any airline Captain I've ever heard, for sure.
@@davemac1197 I understand it was used as a prison during the war, and there are a shed load of jigsaw puzzles that feature it. Given it's location I wonder how did they manage to build it.
Thanks for checking in. We are ok. We want to come back soon but unfortunately we experienced the loss of a family member. (My dad’s mother) and it’s been tough. We will be back -Ethan
You guys actually make me love Iron Maiden more than I already do, and they are already my favorite band. Bruce is my favorite singer! This song is just exceptional. Great video!
Never a disappointment from Iron Maiden indeed! Just like never a disappointment from Larry and Ethan! The Larry clap made my day! Bruce is such an awesome singer and the band always kills it! Still think you haven’t heard enough Tate to anoint Bruce over Geoff however we are splitting hairs here as both are beyond amazing! Can’t wait until you experience Maiden in concert! Love Mid-month Maiden! Maybe try Roads to Madness by Queensryche soon for a vocal masterpiece!
Latest live tour listen Alexander the Great or caught somewhere in time You can see what Bruce’s vocals are like. I saw them last month the future past tour and it was the best set list I have ever seen them do.
"Listen to the drummer playing on his rocking and rolling drums Listen to the drummer playing on his rocking and rolling drums Listen to him drumming on his rocking tom tom Listen to the drummer playing on his rocking and rolling drums Our bodies just can′t stop moving"- Listen to the Drummer Playing- The Wiggles.
Hi guys. As per your request, here's Maiden performing Caught Somewhere in Time on their current tour last June 24th 2023 in Dublin, Ireland. This is stunning performance especially Nicko McBrain who's playing superbly behind the kit considering he's had a mild stroke a the beginning of 2023 and saying he's only at 70% of his capabilities. This is the best live show the band has produced since the 2008 Somewhere Back in Time tour. Hope you enjoy!! ruclips.net/video/Z4_ZMdFAgy8/видео.html
This was my first maiden album. You really need to listen to the first album, although it isn't Bruce, Paul Di'Anno still had good vocals, also Murders un the Rue Morgue is a top tune and good story to it with a twist at the end. Both first albums has Harris's excellent song writing skills in them too
You might not be able to tell from this song, but Nicko is a single-kick drummer. Amazing what he was able to do with one foot. I believe they used this as a show opener back in the day, for obvious reasons. Yes, you damned well better make it to their next concert.
Iron Maiden is the GREATEST(live;)BAND in the world now and forever. No one comes close and after they retire, sadly no one will reach their lofty standards of the mighty Irons ever again🙌 Up the mighty Irons🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great song and reaction! I would recommend “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” a great song with a killer breakdown and guitar solo. Cheers guys! My metal singer tier would be Halford, Dio, Ian Gillan, Geoff Tate, then Dickinson
Hi Paul! We miss everyone here too. We went through the loss of a close relative so we are a bit shaken up. We will be back though. We really appreciate your patience -Ethan
Seeing how you have changed your mind since the first video is one of the nicest things you can find online on the subject of reaction. As a big Maiden fan I also agreed that Fear of the Dark is not great, despite being one of the most famous.😅 A word of advice, you have listened to probably the ugliest song (Can I play with madness) from one of the best albums (seventh son of a seventh son), there are incredible gems in there, like *Infinite Dreams* and The Clairvoyant. You might also try something from the first two CDs where there was no Dickinson but Di Anno, for example the only song ever brought live, Prodigal Son! A hug and Up the Irons !
Niko McBrain The drummer had cancer of the larynx a few years ago and now he just suffered a stroke and he's doing better but good luck to you my friend.. Rock on
Good gesture. I know they are your fav. but you all have done so many Maiden songs already. There are so many more great bands you all haven’t even touched.
You’re right! However we can’t help ourselves, we love hearing Iron Maiden. My dad and I have both agreed they are the best band we’ve discovered on the channel. Don’t worry though Gene, a few artists we haven’t done yet will be reacted to in the near future -Ethan
@@fatherandsonreactionsYou two might be late to the Iron Maiden party, but it is the best in the world and going stronger than ever😜 Up the mighty Irons🤘🤘🤘🤘
The problem with headphones, you miss a lot of the song, I'm betting you dont hear the machine guns in the backgound,, try it on some 24=40 inch Pioneer speakers lol
Love the reaction fellas. That was my first Maiden song 30+ years ago and it kicked my ass. Try Powerslave next or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Both epic. Up the irons!
I know that you have 21 reaction videos of Maiden. But I humbly suggest that you listen to and/or react to "Blood Brothers" from them. I confidently feel that you will be so very glad. In so many ways, you will agree that it's a song Maiden was born to record.
Iron Maiden were never one of my favourites, but the guitars, drumming and riffs are generally pretty solid. I have never commented on this before, but I like both of your chairs - they look so comfortable! 😎😎
Where did they get the idea for the music in this I wonder. "Where Eagles Dare" - is there a clue in the title, even if it was made subconsciously. It so happens that there is a song about a bird that this number could even be musically an extension of as it fits in very well with a later part of "Pheonix" by Wishbone Ash, particularly the base and percussion. so maybe they got the idea for the music from that.
@@metalmark1214 certainly the lyrics are but musically....The film is a classic and still holds good today. (I can remember reading the book while waiting in a doctors surgery.)
@@osamaqtaitat you obviously haven't listened to Pheonix. there is a lively section towards the back end. It's been in my collection for over 50 years now. So I know the number well. There is no shame in it either. Artists often use other works for inspiration. In it's day the Wishbone album was huge so it's unlikely that the piece wasn't known.
@@stevejones1682 I know it’s no shame! We are humans not perfect even if someone is creative and good mostly, it’s normal, actually all the greats have their vices +\-, even Maiden do it but not a lot -that’s the important thing-, their music in general mostly is authentic, sentimental, powerful, unique, great phrases and transitions. but i don’t see the similarities here! Maybe if you can clarify more! Btw, i love Wishbone Ash song Sometime world, that beautiful, emotional, powerful vibe and transitions
For more glorious British rock this live performance from British rockers Thunder is simply stunning.Everything is perfect they all kill it but special mention goes to Danny Bowes wringing every bit of emotion out with his fantastic voice and the sublime guitar work from Luke Morley ruclips.net/video/k1Keo9M9_KE/видео.htmlsi=O0iKOSO-TUMEbf60
Time to react to 'When The Wild Wind Blows' by Iron Maiden. It's a total banger, you won't regret doing that one. Yes Bruce is a great singer but he is not better than Dio, sorry and Peace! Oh, here is a live video from last month and he still sounds great. ruclips.net/video/LpdSkk-orCQ/видео.html
Great reaction gents. Going to thoroughly enjoy your mid month maiden reactions! You should do any live song from their 2001 rock in Rio concert. 250k concertgoers relish in Bruce’s epic return from going solo and Adrian returns to round out the 3 amigo guitarists. My preference would be Dream of Mirrors. This is prob one of their most underrated songs but their performance of this song is epic. The Clansman is another great live song from this concert. 👍🏻👍🏻
(Revelations )
This was the first album for Nicko. That intro alone is epic. I was listening to this album last week and that intro, was like wow. For the next mid month Maiden has to be Alexander The Great from their recent European tour.

Where you guys at? You ok? Miss your stuff.
I used to mow the lawn listening to this, on my headphones. It's one of the few albums that was louder than the mower! ;-)

I used to jam this all the time, good times. Great to see y'all as always-hope y'all have an awesome week. One week from today is MY day 😁 much love&respect ❣🤘✌❣

Great resume,mate! But tbf.,Maiden has quite a lot lyrics inspired by novels and movies (and the occational poem),especially Sci-Fi and horror.
@@steinovemjeldheim5132 you have stated that after I clarified in my original comment that I was referring to the music and not the lyrics.
Any Song from this album is a killer.

Ladies and gentlemen,Mr Nicko McBrain.
What a song to introduce him, first track on Piece of Mind.
Try some Judas Priest too. Victims of Changes, The Sentinel, Painkiller….
Bruce / Dio / Ozzy / Halford / Geoff Tate were some of the best.

Both my son and daughter played hardrock at home, so I learned to like some of the songs. Mostly ballads. 😀
Just stumbled across and Had to subscribe. The Ancient Greeks considered music the greatest of the arts. Because it is invisible.😊

The song sounded good until the singing started, but that is true with most Iron Maiden songs
What are you on about? Bruce Dickinson has one of the best vocals in heavy metal.
Let's see your favorite heavy metal bands....
Great reaction gents. Going to thoroughly enjoy your mid month maiden reactions! You should do any live song from their 2001 rock in Rio concert. 250k concertgoers relish in Bruce’s epic return from going solo and Adrian returns to round out the 3 amigo guitarists. My preference would be Dream of Mirrors. This is prob one of their most underrated songs but their performance of this song is epic. The Clansman is another great live song from this concert. 👍🏻👍🏻
