My wife was a singer and not into metal. Took her to see Maiden on the 7th Son tour and she always said he was the best vocalist she ever heard. He blew her away.
@@skyscraper7474 Nah, the Live After Death version was recorded in the middle of an incredibly heavy tour that followed even more tours...and you can hear that in Bruce's vocals.
@@skyscraper7474 imposible i think you say this ahahahaha your nick says all, but the version of 82 is the better this is a song make by clive burr and he only play the song good nick sucks on this songs
Guys, The most perfect reaction channel on CZcams...As a 54 year old I have a friend who is a concert photographer and 2 teenage daughters that I love watching as they discover what real talent and music truly is 🤘🏻 I watched the Hear-n-aid documentary and someone asked why the Dave and Adrian even bothered turning up with the other players being there... That's when I cried and realised some people only see and hear the glory of posers.... The skill and talent that naturally runs between those two is a once in a lifetime thing... Add that with Steve's bass playing that weaves a perfect canvas for them to paint perfect sonic art upon then you realise its not all glory... Its a sound of its own that blesses your soul with it's existence 🖤🖤🤘🏻🤘🏻
I dabbled with the Iron's in my younger days circa 90 but ended up listening more to Metallica and Slayer,but as I've got older I don't listened to Metallica much at all and lean very much towards Iron maiden an Megadeath.
This is the song Bruce uses to go to each side of the stage to get people on their feet to scream. Right, left, middle...then EVERYONE. Maiden shows are the best!
You guys are fun... and honest, no fake reactions or "overly excited". Just pure. Again, a lovely video! You sure are among my favorites here. Keep on rocking and enjoy!
Indeed, I mentioned Clive after the recording. She was so happy and enjoying the vid I didn't want to bring her down in the middle of it. When she said "the drummer is really good" I almost lost it
I just wanted to thank you for putting this channel together, Burch :bows: Your knowledge and experience of the genre from your previous 'life' gives a wonderful canvas and Alexis coming to it with her fresh perspective and insights paints on that canvas most wonderfully :) The best compliment I can give is that it would be great to sit down with you pair, split a bottle or two and shoot the musical breeze :D
I gotta hand it to you Burch when you said "that when you came out of concerts like that, you couldn't move your neck for about a week and then later on you say you couldn't hear anything and your voice was completely gone". The only thing I'll say from one metal head to another is "Ain't that the truth man". Those were the days.
That long note Bruce does goes up at the end, a massive injection of energy live. Notice how the music paces like a man paces in his cell? Also the length of the notes and sections in the song represent how time slows down when you're in a cell with your thoughts. Number of the Beast early lives are magnificent as well. I loved this album - still do. Better than majority of new music I've heard. Extreme are coming out with new music at the moment and it that type that 40+ year old would recognise.
A lot of people seem to forget the first two albums. Ironmaiden and killers . I still have those on Cassette . Paul Diano sings on both . Well worth a listen .
First concert ever, spring 1984, seventh grade. 5 buddies, and I went to see Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister opening. Powerslave Tour. Absolutely unforgettable. My ears were ringing for 2 days.
You are both so great and it really takes me back to my youth as i see her joy of discovering metal/hard rock. I recall in 1980 in my new city and neighborhood sitting in my new friends den and he put on a record of Kiss and played Detroit Rock City then Black Sabbath War Pigs. Then Van Halen and finally Iron Maiden. I was 100% hooked and have been since. I remember going to a record store by the house (remember the incense and bongs and rolling papers and all?) and looking at all the records and i saw Iron Maidens records and was blown away. Their album artwork was the best i've ever seen still to this day. Seeing her smile brings me back to being an 11 year old and my own lifelong journey with Metal and how it's always carried me through good times and bad. Up The Irons! Btw, their lyrics and play style just sucks you right in and i'm unsure there's a better singer/frontman than Bruce. He's on par with Freddie Mercury and Bon Scott for me. Sadly he doesn't get the credit he deserves.
My first Iron Maiden concert was PowerSlave back in 1984. I thank my friend Richard whose brother had THE KILLER album and introduced me to the group ❤
@@flickeringboxofficial Looking forward to that, I really need to have a listen to that album again, it's been too long. Mirror Mirror was always one of my favourites.
Thanks Mike! I really try and understand each song Burch introduces to me because I like knowing the deeper meaning and purpose of the song along with appreciating the talent involved in performing, writing, and producing them! -Alexis
If u don't mind reaching out to me I can give u a list of great songs u and Burch can react to, I am a former dj and as I've told Burch I've worked and partied with some of the big bands from the 80s heck even a few from the 70s and 90s when I was setting up lights on the ceiling of the pennsicola civic center in 96 and 97
Got 3 cracked ribs in 1987 at a Iron Maiden concert in Detroit. Slept 3 days at Joe Louis arena so we could be the 2nd group in. Crushed up against the railing and cracked the ribs and loved every second of it. Saw them 5 times and they are still the best live band ever. UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!
You just have to love it when the aulder generation passes on the torch of this great music we know as Heavy Metal. And there is no better band, In My Opinion, than Iron Maiden to showcase why Metal and Hard Rock music is a lifelong personal journey, not a passing experience that you grow out of. My youngest son has his own tastes in music but he still likes some of the stuff I listen to and will ask me fir recommendations of bands to listen to. Passing on the legacy 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
Good call on the studio version. Nothing against the 82 Hammersmith version, but to hear that insane long note in the studio version is just another level. Still remember picking the LP up in a used record store and the first time listening through it in 82 or 83. 40 years later, still going strong.
Seen the beast tour in Kalamazoo Mi. Maiden opened for Judas Priest . My first time seeing both bands and i was blown away . It was a metal bombast and the crowd was nothing but denim and leather . Up the Irons !
You're a really cool guy and Alexis is a breath of fresh air. Man, you're somebody I wish I could sit and have a beer with. Your personality and the way you share these songs with Alexis is SOOO amazing. It's inspiring watching reaction vids with youth like her. The best part is I feel as if I'm looking into my past and hearing these songs for the first time AGAIN. Don't stop making content! lol
THANK GOD YOU DO THE STUDIO VERSIO IF YOU GONNA INTRODUCE PEOPLE TO MUSIC STUDIOS ARE ALWAYS THE RESPECT FOR THE ARTIST WAY TO PRESENT THEM TO NEW PEOPLE
I like that you’re listening to studio version first. Nice to get familiar with the song first then enjoy the live version is what I do myself. Omg. I can’tt wait for y’all yo do “One”!!!love Alexis!’ Theory too. She’s probably right! Lol
Maiden will always be my all time favorite band. The kings of Rock and metal!! I would recomend you guys give The Warning and there song Evolve a listen. They are a great new band of sisters from Mexico that are making waves in people hearts.🤘
"When i would come out of concerts like that, i couldn't move my neck for a week" LoL We've all been there m8. We all had the same experience with that, but we loved it. THIS is the music, THIS is the way we wanted to live. THIS music is SO explosive. THIS music is never going to be topped. Dude i love this channel, and how you promote this to your daughters. Thank you for doing this
Count how many changes in this song and it will blow you away. Iron Maiden was known for having like 10 hooks in their songs, before they'd bring it back home to the first one. So many changes in tone, tempo and beats. No other band has really come close to matching that.
You should have played her the "live" version right after so she could react to that right away. You wouldn't have had to pause as much since she heard the song already. It would have been great to see her reaction.
You're totally right on playing the studio version first as it's fantastic and musically brilliant. You don't get distracted by seeing the live action.
I've seen them on MTV when "Run to the Hills", came on I knew they were the band to listen to. Alexis is very intelligent and she will get Iron Maiden. Great reaction!!!
Great reaction! This was the most fun song to play when we had a band when I was 17yo. Maiden songs are not hard but they are really fun to play. And our bassist was a huge Steve Harris/Iron Maiden fan. He even sounded just like him. Unfortunately we didn't have singer who would have sounded like Bruce 🤣 I hope you check out Nightwish Ghost Love Score (Official Live) soon. It has subtitle lyrics if you want to look at them. And btw, Steve Harris is a huge Nightwish fan too.
And with Nightwish, every song is different. They do have their own sound (like Maiden or AC/DC), but each song are totally different to each other. And I want to add. Nightwish' keyboardist/songwriter Tuomas Holopainen writes very poetic lyrics.
Maiden did a small venue tour post the Seventh Son Stadium tour back in the UK. They had all Stadium energy in a venue that held 1500 people, magical. They kept all the traditions, a 12 foot tall Eddie and the whole crew came out to sing, filled the stage. Sore neck, no voice, muffled hearing, all wped out by attending the back stage drinks afterwards, one of the best nights of my life.
It's really brought up that Bruce Dickinson's singing training was in the beginning very opera and classical based. My first concert was power slave I also seen wicker man fear of the dark and two others I can't think of the name right off hand
I like how Alexis mentions "old English" and Edgar Allen Poe. Iron Maiden made me read classic literature, because a lot of their songs are based on such material: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Trooper (based off a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson), Murders in the Rue Morgue (Edgar Allen Poe) and other stories/songs. I wanted to know WHY they sung about these stories, so I hu8nted down the source material (way before the internet, kids). And not only did I become an Iron Maiden fan, I fell in love with classic literature along the way. Iron Maiden opened the door for me to Poe, Shakespeare, Dante, Blake, Tennyson, Coleridge and so much more. So, don't buy into "oh, heavy metal is so low brow" comments. Heavy metal (and Iron Maiden) broadened my horizons in ways school couldn't or didn't. There are heavy metal fans....and then there are Iron Maiden fans.
Hey Rick... as an English major, how could I NOT mention those amazing poets!? I am so glad that you were introduced to such phenomenal works. Isn't it amazing how music can change perspectives and introduce you to so many new things? We appreciate the comment and hope you stick around for more! -Alexis
This is one the best songs in early metal. There's a version of this song done by many other artists. Cradle of filth does a version, machinehead does a good one but my favorite, is by a band called Solitude Aeturnus. Done in 1998, the version is punchy, and the vocals from Robert Lowe are so good. Robert went on in the 2000's to do a couple amazing Candlemass albums. Highly recommend. Really hard to find a hard copy these days.
'Song structure and long instrumental breaks perfectly represent the prisoner's internal emotional landscape AND the time it takes for him to reach the gallows and exit this world. Love this song, love 'Maiden, thanks for sharing! 🤘💙
Iron Maiden shows are Epic Legendary I've been to a lot of them. My favorite band, but each of these songs are stories they all connect. Hallowed Be Thy Name, Children Of The Damned, The Prisoner etc etc. I love Iron Maiden
I have seen Maiden 16 times in my 61 years. During the guitar part in the middle Bruce always says the same thing to the crowd. He tells them to scream...like: "SCREAM FOR ME NEW YORK!!!"
Your Daughter is very switched on to how unique Iron Maiden are. I've seen them once and the experience is etched in your memories forever for many reasons of impressiveness, entertainment and sheer enjoyment. Both should see their next show!, they are aging just like the rest of us and don't know when they will call it a day.
I saw Iron Maiden play Day On The Green in '82 w/ Scorpions - it was INSANE! I think you guys should review Rime of the Ancient Mariner next...it's a masterpiece lyrically & in performance...preferably earlier performance.

Awsome, thanks for sharing such great story! :)
I’ve seen Maiden live 6 times and I still can’t move my neck right!
UP THE IRONS!
Six ... young pup, I am at 20 and counting. UP THE IRONS!
They need to finally be accepted into the so-called rock and roll hall of fame! They are the greatest of all heavy metal bands period.
They would not accept it not now after they have been snubbed for too long instead of lesser artists so FUCK EM ? (UP THE IRONS )
Yep. Period.
This is solid truth.
Now she needs to see '82 live.
Definitely
The live after death version is absolutely better
@The Stranger maybe for your.. hands! Not for mine😉

Remember sitting by the stereo reading the lyrics off the actual record sleeve?
Damn I'm getting old...🤣
I saw them live in 1982 when they opened for Judas Priest....absolutely awesome!!!
Can't believe they haven't been in the HOF for years! One of the best bands ever!
There is a fued between the 2 .
thats because the hall of "fame" is a JOKE , nowdays its actually better NOT to be inducted , it should be called the hall of shame today
@@arkangel7j Exactly
Live After Death Tour
I am 60 years ago, and I've loved Maiden since the Paul DiAnno days. But this is my absolute No. 1 Maiden song of all time.
One of the most kick ass songs ever!
I want this played at my funeral. Just this. No one else speaks. Thanks for coming, have a nice day!
I’m a huge fan of Iron Maiden,saw them in concert 4 times ,I’m 65,1970s was the best decade in rock,period 12:19
Not just best decade in rock; best decade in music, period.
Seen them 3 times myself! Love these guys! Up the Irons! (I'm 55 -first time I saw them was in '82 in Sydney)
I love seeing the joy on Burch's face when they play classic metal songs. I can't help but smile throughout the video 😀🤘
This is my all time favorite song from Iron Maiden.
Mine too. And I've been a Maidenhead since the Paul DiAnno days. The only albums I don't have are the Blaze Bayley ones: he really did not fit.
probably their best song
RIP Clive Burr 🤘❤️
Indeed, I mentioned Clive after the recording. She was so happy and enjoying the vid I didn't want to bring her down in the middle of it. When she said "the drummer is really good" I almost lost it
That 1979 line up with him and DiAnno was the best
The 1982 version of children of the dammed is a great example of how operatic Bruce can sound.
I just wanted to thank you for putting this channel together, Burch :bows: Your knowledge and experience of the genre from your previous 'life' gives a wonderful canvas and Alexis coming to it with her fresh perspective and insights paints on that canvas most wonderfully :) The best compliment I can give is that it would be great to sit down with you pair, split a bottle or two and shoot the musical breeze :D

Love Maiden and This Song It's a Classic The 1982 Live Performance Is One The Best Live Maiden Performances.
Amazing song! I came early to support the channel. Noti gang stand up!
I'm 50 years old and love this song. I've heard it so many times over the years and always gives me chills. 🤘🤘
A lot of people seem to forget the first two albums. Ironmaiden and killers . I still have those on Cassette . Paul Diano sings on both . Well worth a listen .
Paul's my favorite. Those first two albums receive more play time these days than the others.
You should do Wasted Years I think Alexis would like those lyrics too. Plus that's one of my favorite Maiden songs.
Maybe my favorite video, definitely top 3
@@flickeringboxofficial The live video from the Book of Souls Tour is really good too. Love the songs you are sharing with Alexis. Good stuff.

One of the best performances of Bruce "air-raid siren" Dickinson. Up the Irons and cheers from Brazil.
Huge smile on my face when Alexis caught the endless "Low". A lot of reactors miss that completely. I wonder if she'd like a bit of early Def Leppard?
Not sure if she is but several tracks from High 'N Dry are on the list, ready or not!
@@flickeringboxofficial Looking forward to that, I really need to have a listen to that album again, it's been too long. Mirror Mirror was always one of my favourites.
Alexis is a deep thinker, the perfect complement to Burch's breadth of knowledge.
I loved the grin while you were waiting for the reaction to the length of the sustained notes.

I'm 60 I saw them live over 40 years ago in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 great times. Good to see a young lady looking at our past.
I would like to suggest you share "The Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner" and "Alexander The Great" with her. I'm positive she will love those as well.
Definitely Yes! And Powerslave !!!
Rime needs to be the flight 666 version. Adrian's solo is just blistering
Rime!
I'm so glad I found your channel excellent reactions.
Thanks for the kind comment!! We hope you stick around and check out our other reactions as well!! -Alexis
Don’t even know how I ended on your channel, but enjoying it alot... Iron Maiden is my youth !
Welcome aboard Gerom. We are a newer channel but have quite a bit to choose from already

Unleash the archers has a song called awaking that has a iron maiden-ish sound. Brittany Slayers has an amazing voice
Amazing band.
*Brittany Slays is her stage name. Not Slayers... And that band is amazing!!!
It's why I love Brittney and UtA.
My favorite song off of Apex is The Coward's Way. Second is Apex. 😊

Thanks for the blast from the past, I graduated in 82, memories of cruising with this jamming in my car. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😛😛😛😛😛😛😛
That one live version (somebody at comments knows obviously) of this song is the best performance Iron Maiden has ever done.
Seen the beast tour in Kalamazoo Mi. Maiden opened for Judas Priest . My first time seeing both bands and i was blown away . It was a metal bombast and the crowd was nothing but denim and leather . Up the Irons !
Clive Burr Is On The Drums On This Whole Album Sadly No Longer With Us 😢 Nicko McBrain Is The Current Drummer For Maiden.
Nicko came in on Piece of Mind album. IMO a way better drummer. No disrespect to Clive Burr.
At the end of the 2000 rock in Rio version the lengths of time he holds the notes is the longest I’ve heard from him.
Another great song is The Rime of the Ancient Mariner .. great work guys

you're so right using non live tracks, I hear so many times comments about the stage performance and little about the music and voice
love this reaction channel.
Your supposed to introduce her to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. Make sure you introduce her to all 3 singers Iron Maiden had and Bruce's Solo Work.
That is next Tiffany and then something from Paul era. Blaze is much later. I actually liked X Factor. Underrated album
I liked the "2 minutes and 30 seconds of instruments?" 😆 I can just imagine the reaction to Rime of the Ancient Mariner
You won't have to imagine to long, it's coming Eric 😁
I saw them in ‘80,’82 and ‘84 they totally kicked ass.
What a great reaction, guys. Love Bruce the beast and Maiden ! xx
Showing your daughter the classics that’s good parenting.. I show my daughter the same.. teaching her awesome music of that era
This is one the best songs in early metal.
There's a version of this song done by many other artists. Cradle of filth does a version, machinehead does a good one but my favorite, is by a band called Solitude Aeturnus.
Done in 1998, the version is punchy, and the vocals from Robert Lowe are so good. Robert went on in the 2000's to do a couple amazing Candlemass albums. Highly recommend. Really hard to find a hard copy these days.
Iron Maiden play this Year at the Wacken Open Air in Germany and this Song is Part of all Liveset ( 41 years )
That is going to be a concert! Please tell me you have tickets.
'Song structure and long instrumental breaks perfectly represent the prisoner's internal emotional landscape AND the time it takes for him to reach the gallows and exit this world. Love this song, love 'Maiden, thanks for sharing! 🤘💙
Steve Harris (bassist) is a brilliant composer and writer.
Great pick!
Thank you for this REACTION THE BEST METAL BAND IN THE UNIVERSE
Iron Maiden shows are Epic Legendary I've been to a lot of them. My favorite band, but each of these songs are stories they all connect. Hallowed Be Thy Name, Children Of The Damned, The Prisoner etc etc. I love Iron Maiden
You guys are awesome, don't know your relationship...father, daughter team ....its nice to see you guys bounce opinions of each other ❤
I have seen Maiden 16 times in my 61 years. During the guitar part in the middle Bruce always says the same thing to the crowd. He tells them to scream...like: "SCREAM FOR ME NEW YORK!!!"
I first saw Iron Maiden live opening for UFO in 1979 or 1980. It was the killers album tour. One of the greatest live bands ever. Fun reaction
That Bass Gallup is legendary. 🤘
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner! UP THE IRONS!
Its coming! Scream for CZcams!!!!!!!!!!
Clive Burr on drums… love it
Your Daughter is very switched on to how unique Iron Maiden are. I've seen them once and the experience is etched in your memories forever for many reasons of impressiveness, entertainment and sheer enjoyment. Both should see their next show!, they are aging just like the rest of us and don't know when they will call it a day.
Loved the post with you an Pat Traver. Up the irons.
One of the best reaction channels
Great job with your reaction to Hallowed Be Thy Name from Iron Maiden . I saw them once a Roni James Dio Was there Special Guest.
Great reaction! I suggest reacting to Alexander The Great (studio version, with lyrics). She will go crazy with the excellence of this sacred band!
"Don't pause the guitar solo...."
"I know! Let's talk over it!"
It's better than pausing 🤣
I saw Iron Maiden play Day On The Green in '82 w/ Scorpions - it was INSANE! I think you guys should review Rime of the Ancient Mariner next...it's a masterpiece lyrically & in performance...preferably earlier performance.
