Glad you did the studio version first to get it as intended but please check the 82 performance before the album was released. Pure magic!! Revelations is a deep cut worth checking out.
My brother you gotta react to these guys live to witness the energy of this amazing band . 2025 will be their 50th anniversary. They still perform like their in their 20's .
Thank you. Nice to finally meet a grounded, pragmatic guy. Please keep the Iron Maiden coming, and start with the song I requested in your recently uploaded Iron Maiden Video.
If you want to take a wild ride, listen to Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" it's pretty effing awesome - saw Maiden 5 times back in the day - they were as awesome as you could imagine.
The Trooper, Brave New World, No More Lies, Run to the Hills, Different World, Wasted Age, The Writing on the Wall... Maiden have released bangers throughout the past four decades! You should check out all these songs and more from them!
The song is about the different stages of grief. The denial, the anger, so on and so on. The long, repetitive instrumental is supposed to mimic time slowing down as his immanent demise approaches. Until finally, acceptance. He bellows out Hallowed Be Thy Name, and gives his soul over to God. One of their great story telling songs.
Live version is the best version love iron maiden it's even my picture and yes 1982 live from Hammersmith is the best to listen to just epic great reaction to one of greatest bands ever up the iron's 🤟
Maiden!! Do "Aces High," "The Trooper," "Run to the Hills," or "Flight of Icarus" (or all, lol). Cliff, this band is fire! My husband played this solo with another guitarist. It's done with 2 guitars. Usually, the melody is created first. Drums and bass are added next. I wish I could take you back, brother. Arena rock. It was electric.
Iron Maiden takes me back to high school, in our common room we had a boom box and had on high rotation Iron Maiden, Frank Zappa, CCR, AC/DC and a few Aussie bands that you may not of heard of.
I ❤ ZAPPA!!! I saw him at least a half a dozen times in the late 70s and early 80s and it was always a fun show!! He always did a block of shows right around Halloween in New York every year!!!!❤❤❤🎉
Fun fact: Bruce Dickinson is a pilot and accomplished in many accolades (please look it up. I'm definitely inebriated ) He's the voice Iron Maiden. RIP Paul 'Dianno ❤
Thanks to your channel I started to respect and understand hiphop, but great to see you respecting my kind of music. Go see the live performances. Respect!
Hey Cliff, I think you should check out an older live version of “The Trooper” from Live After Death” tour, and then a recent live version of “Fear of the Dark”, maybe the Live Chile 2022. They are still touring and are as energetic, powerful, and entertaining now as they were in the early 80’s.
More Maiden ! Try Wraith Child, from thier second album. It features the the original vocalist Paul Di' Anno , who just past last week. Iron Maiden did a very tasteful and touching tribute to him, with out bumming out the concert goers. Just as Paul would have wanted it.
You really need to listen to some Rush. Total virtuoso musicianship from just three very good long time friends. BTW, both Maiden and Rush did songs based on Samuel Coleridge poems. Rime of The Ancient Mariner by Maiden, and Zanadu by Rush.
@@chuckhouse5179 I took my 7yr old grandson to maiden last Monday in Portland Oregon. This Monday I’m mourning the loss of Paul. It’s the circle of life.
This is such a great song! Brings me back oh and you aren’t crazy, this kind of music takes you on a journey just using the instrumentals.. I play classical violin and classical music takes you on a similar journey. ❤❤❤
Rush is a power trio that are know to be the best in the business and they have the best lyricist of all time and puts all hip hop artist to shame bruh !!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you made this channel!! I've been a metal head since the early eighties, and that will always be me. I don't have what it takes to appreciate rap and hip hop too much. Thanks for this channel!
I don't know if you did those on your channel but you got check... "The clansman" with Bruce Dickinson in Rock in Rio or " Ryme of the ancient mariner" live flight 666....I think this is a must to get into Iron Maiden... ❤Thank you for your reaction..
'Alexander the Great' 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' 'Blood Brothers' 'Wasted Years' 'Aces High' 'The Trooper' 'Pascendale'
Maiden are and always have been my favourite. You should try Unleash The Archers, Awakening full band playthrough, the drums are nuts and you'll love the vocals
My first experience of Maiden growing up in the 70/80s was aces high with the Churchill speech introduction epic music and storytelling and got me in the mood for playing sport as a teen on my walkman😂 You should do Rime of the ancient mariner or Phantom of the opera. Or try Nightwish a symphonic Metal band from Finland with a 6 ft tall valkyrie as the front woman. A song from the new album perfume of the timeless or an oldie Ghost love score epic
You might want to think about "Flight of Icarus." Steve Harris (the bassist) does most of the writing and is a force to be reckoned with in his own right. His tone, sound, and playing style are VERY much his signature, and NOBODY does it better. It is often referred to as a "galloping bass line" and definitely drives the music.
While it's a similar type of song to this one, please do 'No Prayer for the Dying' from Iron Maiden. Also, the entire NotB is a MUST listen album and, for a near forty year old one it STILL, FCUKING, SLAPS. Keep up the good work sir and always, keep on rocking :D
This isn't rock, this is HEAVY METAL! Very different. In fact, this is the greatest Heavy Metal track ever written. It is the very DEFINITION of the genre, it's the first song you play to demonstrate the genre to a complete newbie. Clive Burr's intricate pounding drums, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith's face melting guitars, Steve Harris' galloping bass triples, and the greatest vocalist rock and Heavy Metal has ever seen from the mighty Bruce Dickinson. Complete virtuoso GENIUS. Look up the live video The Beast Over Hammersmith from 1982 to actually SEE them pull off this masterpiece. Your assertion that hip hop is DEEPER lyrically is however possibly the single most nonsensical statement I have ever heard on the internet, PERIOD!
I'm a vocalist/lyricist in a death metal band. 90% of the time I wait to hear a song being made, and then write the lyrics. Something in the guitars will pop an image or thought in my head, and I roll with it, and add, delete, or move around words/verses, and change cadence or vocal arrangements as the song transforms. Sometimes I will already have lyrics and theme written and wait to hear the song thst just fits! Not as complex as hip hop (huge hip hop head), with an the double, triple meaning and acrobatics.
I don't think anyone needs to disrespect any other genres of music. I see music as a museum. I have my favorite style and wing of the art museum but I like walking through other wings as well. The intricacies of Iron Maiden and when you go further the intricacies of other bands such as dream theater is definitely something to behold. But so is the lyricism of Eminem. It's not comparable. The simple beats of Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg in the 90s, well not very sophisticated compared to power metal and other forms of metal, was still pleasing to my ear. In the end that's all that really counts.
Check out their Flight 666 live performance as a concert closer - EPIC! also for the drums in isolation a drummer in a cover band called Rod Sovilla has the drums alone on his RUclips channel for the flight 666 version
A secondary comment for you. Don't be afraid of making g mistakes, especially when you are looking at another genre. Just be yourself, people are watching, enjoy the journey I to a different style of expression 😎
Growing up I had art and music teachers telling me that the artwork was good but the music was garbage. Clearly they never actually listened or didn't know what they were talking about. Music critics and snobs suggested that Steve Harris's lyrics and themes were merely the Coles Notes versions of nothing but borrowed themes. It's nice to hear someone appreciate all that is great about it, upon first listen 🤘
Black Pegasus just did reaction to Metallica Moscow - Creeping Death, they started chanting Die,Die,Die and he was taken back, then looked up the lyrics Holy Sh!t, this is about the exodus from Moses point of view 😄
If you really delve into the huge changes in music, it stated when they took music classes in school. For some the only exposure to instruments was through school, when they took that out of school those with music in their blood had to reinvent. The saddest thing, is for me is music has a heart and soul, without the instruments its lost the soul
Cliff, rock/metal is not as lyric heavy as rap; however the subject matter is generally way deeper and often goes to dark places in a way that rap could ever do! It’s not just the lyrics, it’s also the composition of the music that sets a mood for the lyrics! Great reaction! Please consider doing Metallica-fade to black or for whom the bell tolls! The album versions or live either way is great! Thanks
As a counterpart to all the "live!!!" people, who of course are entitled to their opinion, I prefer the studio version. Bruce's singing is much more on key here, and the lyrics have more room to breathe in the original tempo. I will say that the instrumentals are almost studio level on the Hammersmith 1982 version. Don't get me wrong: Bruce's performance is certainly impressive in the live version, but there's a few extended notes in there that are painfully off key to those of us who have an ear for such things. In the studio version, he's 100% professional.
'YES', you did the wrong version of this song...Hello my name is Brian from White Bear Lake, Minnesota...You have watched the Live 1982 version of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', it is considered to be the best rock video ever made, singer Bruce Dickinson sings his butt off in this video, you can really hear his operatic voice come out in this song, with his long vabratos, and long notes, not to mention his vocal range. In my opinion this why i think every other rock singer secretly wishes that they could sing like Bruce could when he was in his prime. Pay attention to the long note in the beggining of the song, and the 2 long notes at end of song, they are 'EPIC'...The song is about a man being sent to the gallows to be hanged and he is looking back on his life. Most of Iron Maiden's songs are about an important event that has happened in history. So watch this video for sure, it is amazing !!!...Must Watch. Thank You 🤘🤘 Video Link Below: ruclips.net/video/7vP2hFFV57E/видео.html&feature=share
Ok, good entry point to our best metal band from over here in the UK. Yes, definitely do the live performance that's already been posted. But I'd like to add a few others.. And has everyone noticed that this band Iron Maidens tunes are all story based. A little bit like Ren's tunes.? If you don't know of Ren check out his Utube channel and join 1.69m Renagades. So back to Iron Maiden. Rhyme of the ancient mariner. Run to the Hills.!! Both storyline driven.!! And my last recommendation, because there's too many albums to lists all my best Iron Maiden tunes from is..... The number of the beast... 666.. Mind blowing Iron Maiden.!!! Enjoy everyone, and prepare to have you minds blowen by both Iron Maiden and Ren.!! Thank me later. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧✌️🤙👍
Can't deny those rock solid Maiden Live albums. But without the album cut, there'd be no "Maiden Japan" and we wouldn't be fans. Sure, a rare few experienced them live, first. Best live Metal band ever. 17 times !!! Not One Bad Show ! But c'mon, it was those studio albums that rocked us to sleep!😅
Album version is what the band wants you to hear first...that's why it's on the album lol If you appreciate what the album version sounds like, and you see a great live rendition of it, it doesn't take away from your first listen, it only adds to it. I think of Rush in this respect. When I first heard them on the radio, got the album, and eventually saw how incredible they are live, it only made me more of a fan. I saw them close to a dozen times, over a decade apart, they really do sound as good live as they do on the albums. Incredible musicians, NP on the drums wasn't even human lol
![First Time Reaction | Eagles - Hotel California (Live 1977) (Official Video) [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SeujB_CD20E/mqdefault.jpg)
1982 live version.. is a must see. There you can see the real power of Iron Maiden.
Reaction channels should always watch the 82 live version - so much better

The live version and video of this song is always intense. Absolute classic.
Agreed, 100%

Up the Irons...welcome to the Maiden Family ♥
R.I.P Paul di Anno 🙏
Run to the hills, aces high, 2 minutes to midnight, power slave..... The list goes on
FYI, these geniuses are touring the US next year. Do yourself a favor and get a ticket. It’s worth every second. They are amazing. The goats of metal
Run to the hills will impact you hard as an American ❤
Glad you did the studio version first to get it as intended but please check the 82 performance before the album was released. Pure magic!! Revelations is a deep cut worth checking out.
The fact that for a lot of people Revelations is a deep cut cuts me deep to the bone 😂.
One of their best songs imo.
1982 offical video is live and videod 2 months b4 the album was released. You see thier fans reaction hearing it the first time also.
😎👍
The Trooper. You'll love that one. Guaranteed!
My brother you gotta react to these guys live to witness the energy of this amazing band . 2025 will be their 50th anniversary. They still perform like their in their 20's .
This song is a Masterpiece !!! The song writing, sequences, harmony, solos, timing, etc ... All about it !!!
Thank you. Nice to finally meet a grounded, pragmatic guy. Please keep the Iron Maiden coming, and start with the song I requested in your recently uploaded Iron Maiden Video.
You should give Rush a shot !!! Songs like Subdivisions, Natural science, Vital signs and about 185 other songs ❤❤❤❤
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!
Iron maiden- rhyme of the ancient mariner
If you want to take a wild ride, listen to Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" it's pretty effing awesome - saw Maiden 5 times back in the day - they were as awesome as you could imagine.

Iron Maiden do a lot of story telling with both the lyrics and the music telling the story. They have been and still are an amazing band.
it is so dope to watch persons like you experience and discover the music that accompanied me on my life's path for the past 40 years.
First time I saw this live🤘🤘❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦, I cried my eyes out It was EPIC!!
1990s live at Donnington mate.
The song is about the different stages of grief. The denial, the anger, so on and so on. The long, repetitive instrumental is supposed to mimic time slowing down as his immanent demise approaches.

The Rhyme of the ancient mariner !!!!!!!!!!! another must (live)
I saw this tour in '82, what a GREAT show!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You need to see Bruce sing live, he does this while running and jumping around everywhere.
This is a bad ass hard driving song that has been one of my favorites from them since it’s release.
Fun fact: Bruce Dickinson is a pilot and accomplished in many accolades (please look it up. I'm definitely inebriated )
He's the voice Iron Maiden. RIP Paul 'Dianno ❤
going to see them tonight , have seen them 9 time
Fave MAIDEN song
Always LIVE for Maiden ❤
This is such a great song! Brings me back
Youll love hammersmith 82 live version up the Irons
Welcome to some of the best music you’ve ever heard in your life. You cannot go wrong with their first five or six albums
Thanks to your channel I started to respect and understand hiphop, but great to see you respecting my kind of music. Go see the live performances. Respect!
I need to see the live version from 1982. It is the best live recording of a metal song of all times!!
Hey Cliff, I think you should check out an older live version of “The Trooper” from Live After Death” tour, and then a recent live version of “Fear of the Dark”, maybe the Live Chile 2022. They are still touring and are as energetic, powerful, and entertaining now as they were in the early 80’s.

One more comment if I may. Many of us are as interested in rap and hip hop as you are becoming with rock and metal. Music is amazing
RIP Paul Dianno! You started heavy metal. Those first 2 albums are better than Ozzys first two albums. You are legendary.
Paul Died? NO!!!
fuck.... R.I.P. to the O.G.
@@chuckhouse5179 I took my 7yr old grandson to maiden last Monday in Portland Oregon. This Monday I’m mourning the loss of Paul.
It’s the circle of life.
Welcome to Iron Maiden. 🙂

agreed check out the 1982 live version. Seeing them live is insane!
This is such a great song! Brings me back oh and you aren’t crazy, this kind of music takes you on a journey just using the instrumentals.. I play classical violin and classical music takes you on a similar journey. ❤❤❤
This is a masterpiece of musical brilliance. Its timeless. In my top 3 best ever songs. Equal to bohemian rhapsody, and holy wars-punishment due
I saw them live first time 2 weeks ago in Tacoma. I was bummed they didnt play this song. Great pyro effects though and great show.
perfection
Best live band ever. Yeah, for your own enjoyment you should check out the 82 live version at Hammersmith. Up the irons!
alexander the great, one of their best songs
rip Paul
Rush is a power trio that are know to be the best in the business and they have the best lyricist of all time and puts all hip hop artist to shame bruh !!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you made this channel!! I've been a metal head since the early eighties, and that will always be me. I don't have what it takes to appreciate rap and hip hop too much. Thanks for this channel!

Must react to Revelation
Black Pegasus just did reaction to Metallica Moscow - Creeping Death, they started chanting Die,Die,Die and he was taken back, then looked up the lyrics Holy Sh!t, this is about the exodus from Moses point of view 😄
If you don't do it for RUclips - you should check out the Live video version of this song. Has a little more grit and intensity.
Bass player Steve Harris writes most of their songs including this one
If you really delve into the huge changes in music, it stated when they took music classes in school. For some the only exposure to instruments was through school, when they took that out of school those with music in their blood had to reinvent. The saddest thing, is for me is music has a heart and soul, without the instruments its lost the soul
🤘🔥❤
For the algorithm ❤️❤️❤️👵🏼 Gmaw
Actually you should’ve done the live version of this song back in 82. It’s better than the studio version in my opinion.
The Bass player Steve Harris writes 99% of the song lyrics.
Cliff, rock/metal is not as lyric heavy as rap; however the subject matter is generally way deeper and often goes to dark places in a way that rap could ever do!

What music do you listen to?
Ok, good entry point to our best metal band from over here in the UK.
Yes, definitely do the live performance that's already been posted.
But I'd like to add a few others..
And has everyone noticed that this band Iron Maidens tunes are all story based. A little bit like Ren's tunes.? If you don't know of Ren check out his Utube channel and join 1.69m Renagades.

Run to the Hills.!! Both storyline driven.!!
And my last recommendation, because there's too many albums to lists all my best Iron Maiden tunes from is..... The number of the beast... 666.. Mind blowing Iron Maiden.!!!
Enjoy everyone, and prepare to have you minds blowen by both Iron Maiden and Ren.!!
Thank me later. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧✌️🤙👍
Never the album version with these classics dude. Try "Live at The Rock" in Rio....
I disagree. I think it varies from song to song
@@katiegwynn4495yup, plus that read as entitled to be rude and bossy as if this was his channel and he calls the shots lol.
No, in general it’s best to do the album version first. This song is one of the exceptions.
Can't deny those rock solid Maiden Live albums.
But without the album cut, there'd be no "Maiden Japan" and we wouldn't be fans.
Sure, a rare few experienced them live, first.
Best live Metal band ever. 17 times !!!
Not One Bad Show !
But c'mon, it was those studio albums that rocked us to sleep!😅

I think of Rush in this respect. When I first heard them on the radio, got the album, and eventually saw how incredible they are live, it only made me more of a fan. I saw them close to a dozen times, over a decade apart, they really do sound as good live as they do on the albums. Incredible musicians, NP on the drums wasn't even human lol
