England's criminal justice system had the death penalty by hanging (the gallows). The last execution was on 13 August 1964. This song is about a prisoner waiting to be hanged and contemplating his life, knowing his death is coming. The five final stages of grief run through this man: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Totally on point. The thing with Maiden is they teach. A lot of us read up about the things they sang about. Read up because we didn't have intrawebs in my day. ( get off my lawn ).
They and all countries need to bring it back soon!
Ditto
Can't go wrong with any song off this album, it's timeless!!
Err Invaders & Gangland?!
@@Mardenski100 I have to agree Rocky Alls! Invaders & Gangland are not the best ones on this,but far away from being bad!
Yeah but compared to the calibre of the other songs on the album they fall well short
them opinions...
Not gangland đ€ź
This is literally one of the best Heavy Metal songs ever written
That's perfect Cliff :) I appreciate your reaction big time :) It's really one of the songs that made me learn to speak English more clearly and definitely faster. You know by now how Iron Maiden simply has great music in general. Stuff that speaks to you musically as well as lyrically. It's just awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed!
This is probably my favorite Iron Maiden song ever, top 3 for sure.đ€đ»đ„
Phantom Of The Opera
@@Darkstar_Dayne Phantom is top 10 for me for sure, itâs a great song.đ„
It was definitely what made me love that album... and definitely my favorite from Maiden :) I had to ask Cliff to react to it ;)
@@vizz2905 Great choice brother!đ€đ»
Ditto.
here's the thing bro - you mentioned that the instruments tell the story and take you on a ride even without the lyrics.
Metal music is alot like classical music - it moves you in similar ways. The instruments in metal are giving an enhancement to the mood/feelings the lyrics are trying to convey. Think of it like a movie's musical score. The music in a movie scene makes you feel the actions and words of the actors much more than without the music - whether it's the haunting score that puts you on the edge in a horror movie, or John Williams bombastic energy during an action sequence, or the heartwrenching somber music accompanying the death of an important character.
Metal songs are conveying a story, and the music accompanies it to make you feel the emotions even stronger.
Iron maiden is one of those bands that you can close your eyes and be taken along for a journey. A lot of songs are based on history and offer different points of views from how you would normally interpret it. They also have quite a few songs that are very long but it's worth the journey. Iron Maiden is absolutely amazing to see live.
What an evergreen song! It just never gets old. And just when I start to get "tired" or used to reactors reacting to this song. a few days go by and it's up for reaction again. And so I listen, and get into it again. Just like before.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Iron Maiden's "Powerslave" will satisfy you musically AND touch your horror roots. I'd love to watch you love it. (I personally suggest the studio version.)
Yes! I concur!!!
Great reaction, spot on, even a metal head appreciates your appreciation of Maiden & metal, keep the hard rock, 80s metal, heavy metal, etc, you'll fall more & more in love! đ
Awesome, awesome, awesome reaction, my friend! I absolutely adore how you "get" the storytelling of the instrumentation.
these guys were responsible for bringing opera music and metal to gather can remember as a kid at 12 13 having there albums posters on my wall yet rush as well back then was an = favourite
This is literally rated at the very top of best metal songs ever and in some lists, number 1.
Iron Maiden was my gateway into history as a kid. Now here I am with a degree in Classics, soon a degree in Norse Language and Literature, and I'll most likely be persuing a Master's in the latter. Sometimes it only takes one little spark to get someone's engine going.
One song I really love is âwhen the wild wind blowsâ
Of course, everyone will say listen to the famous live version early on in their career - and they are right!
Iron Maiden's Empire of the Clouds is probably my favorite example of them using the instruments to tell the story. It's a long track, but definitely one you should check out.
"When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion."
This is one of my all time favorite lyrics. I love the direct but grand phrasing of that. Great lyric.
Thanks for the Vid đ
Edit: Iron Maiden is my favorite band in from my youth, I'm 52. Exactly what you said after the song was over is exactly what caught me in 1983 when I first heard Iron Maiden. The Number of the Beast was the first song I heard, not this one, but same album. If you liked the instrumentation of that song then you should check out some Dream Theater. They have all the story telling (and equivalent vocal talent) of Iron Maiden combined with absolutely perfect instrumentation. You want layers, Dream Theater is a chocolate layer cake....I love Iron Maiden and always will, but Dream Theater is phenomenal.
Yeah, Dream Theater and Queensryche were fantastic variants from the classic hard rock sounds we grew up with. I would almost say they were a combination of Maiden and Rush. Always the best part of music, seeing how bands come up with their own amazing sounds.
My first rock album was Somewhere in time by Iron Maiden, my favorite songs on that album are: 1) Wasted time 2) The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, I'm sure you'd enjoy them!
No need to thank us, we thank you to be willing to open your mind to other music and older music. I hope you continue this journey the rest of your life because the music you have yet to discover is quite vast.
My favourite band for many years, saw them live back in '89...completely amazing. đ€đ€đ€
Happy Weekend Cliff, Cheers and Up The Irons!. đ„
Bruce is a master at story telling. Yes, the lyrics are deep but it takes an amazing vocalist to bring them to life. I cannot wait to see you react to Rime of the Ancient Mariner! Especially a live version!
Iron maiden was hands down the best concert I ever went to. Was incredible.
UP THE IRONS đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€
Maiden are a trip. Virtually every song is a story, and they lift a lot of material from literature, mythology, and history. It's prog metal at its finest.
You are the first and only person I have ever heard refer to Maiden as progressive metal and I have been listening to them since 1981. They are just metal.
@@chrisbolliger5717most of their stuff is more metal, but you canât tell me that Rime of the Ancient Mariner wouldnât classify as prog metal.
@@johnedlin7 All I said is that is the first time I have heard of Maiden being called prog. But yeah, that term never came up with them back when "Rime" was released. Maiden is a metal band, they have a variety of styles on their very long list of albums as they have explored options. Just like VH is a rock band that released a song like "Jump" That didn't turn them into a pop band...
Great reaction!!! Check out the live version from early 80's. Probably the best version. Love seeing you react to my favorite band of all time. Up the Irons!!!
This song was the deepest cut from this legendary album!!
Damn right brother! đ€đ»
You really need to watch them live. Hallowed be Thy Name live version at Hammersmith 1982 . It hits you different â€
First Album I bought by myself on Music Casette. Every song a banger
Maiden is THE SH*T! You really need to watch the video/live performance. Seeing the 3 lead guitars at the same time with their movements and jamming is unparalleled!!! And I always love to watch Bruce sing live (especially back in the day with that long hair and tight pants! LOL)
Another Absolute gem you can never go wrong with as a newbie rock/metal enjoyer is "One" by Metallica.Such a haunting and great song with a great message. Imo the best song form metallica ever, with amessage about the horrors of war (more and more relevant as the years go by and we just seem to be sliding closer and closer to WW3 and/or the end of human race)
Caught somewhere in time - probably one of Maiden's lengthiest/epic solo's
Never too late to join the Metal Army!Maiden is just a legend,next song you check from them,you should watch a live video!You will be blown away about what they deliver on stage!!!Wanna have more of the storytelling music you mentioned? Check out Opeth - Harlequin Forest for example !True masters of compositions!
Thanks bro đ Just what I needed! đ great reaction!
Greatest metal band in the history of humans IMO. I REALLY like a LOT of bands, but NOBODY in metal will ever compare to the musicianship and storytelling of Maiden. NOBODY. UP THE IRONS!!!
You ask Iron Maiden fans to list their top 20 Maiden songs and #1 would be Hallowed Be Thy Name by a landslide!! Amazing Live!!
Scream for me.....
No you don't sound crazy. This is why this band is epic, they do take you on a journey. I'm an old man now but I remember getting this cassette tape when this came out and when I would get home from school I had Time Play 3 songs full blast on my parents sound system and pretending I was on stage while doing backflips into my couch cushion fort before my parents got home from work. God I miss those days.
grew up in the 80s saw them live 4 times their discography is insane,love it man,the trooper is an insane track
For a slightly newer maiden song which is amazing I recommend Paschendale :)
I started to really dig Iron Maiden when I listened to them like an orchestra. Their songs have so much movement to them. This is really smart music...brilliant lyrics and great musical parts. I don't know their content, but I LOVE Flight of Icarus, Mother Russia and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
For your own enjoyment, you should watch the live version of this. The version from Hammersmith in the early 80s is great. It is simply amazing how tight they are live with such a complex song.
Cool that you have joined us here in the realm of Iron Maiden đ As you may or may not have discovered already, they are one of the most legendary and influential bands of all in that wonderful genre known as HEAVY METAL. They were founded in London by genius bass player and genius songwriter Steve Harris, who remains their undisputed leader to this day. He is the engineer of their unmistakable sound, with his own lightning fast, "galloping" bass lines underline the combined melodies of two lead guitars. And to top it all off, we have the soaring, dramatic vocals of Bruce DIckinson (who coincidentally joined the band on this their third album), not settling for just singing but telling a story, with all the intensity he can bring. As you observed, the lyrics also play an important part: every song covers a given topic, very often a historical event but sometimes a certain book or movie, and occasionally even an important topic in the present. Never a superficial love or party song - not that there's anything wrng with that, but that's not Iron Maiden's style. I could go more into detail, but this has been long enough already. I hope you enjoy your future explorations of their music, and maybe even get inspired to look into the bands that came before them like Judas Priest,Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple, and the bands that Iron Maiden inspired in their turn like Metallica, Megadeth and QueensrĂżche.
Fear of the Dark, the Trooper, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Wasted Years. Canât go wrong with any of these and many more.
After this you need to hear the other Gods of OG metal. Judas Priest - Painkiller is an absolute must.
Thanks for your great reaction Video of this fantastic song.
I also have my own Story of discovering hallowed be thy name, and the whole band Iron Maiden.
In the past 30 years i was far away from Rock or heavy Metal music, i never could Imagine to like just one song of this type of music. Here in Germany i was just a fan of techno (electronic music in general) and Hip Hop.
Your reaction of this song is the same like mine a few month ago. It was amazing, it was very intense and emotional, and there was something in theyr music that i never felt before. There is a german word called "Ergriffenheit" it means something like getting grabbed and holding you tight, something powerful that let your tears running.
It is a very different style of music, and Iron Maiden is something very special. They are able to awake energies and emotions inside you that you never knew before by listening to music.
I'm a big Fan now and i listened to all theyr 17 albums, to each and every song. And still today i discover songs that are breathtaking, and so often my tears are running of that intensity.
Songs you really have to react on are:
The lonelyness of the long distance runner.
The greater good of god (watch hurm1t emotional reaction in CZcams)
Infinite Dreams
Where the Eagles Date
I really would like to hear from you. Looking forward to see more reaction Videos!

@@bernhardherrmann9230 Wie komme ich denn auf Where the Eagles Date? Das kann wieder nur die sch*"° Autokorrektur gewesen sein. WHERE EAGLES DARE ist auf jeden Fall in den top 5 meiner absoluten Lieblingssongs von Maiden.
đ€Danke fĂŒr Dein Kommentar und einen dicken GruĂ aus dem Rheinland nach NĂŒrnberg! đ€

One thing I love about this song is that the tempo speeds up constantly to match the pulse of the man going to the gallows to die. His thoughts and words illustrate it to end when he is marched up as the speed change happens
Greatest Metal band ever đ€đđ€
Welcome to my teenage years! Between Maiden, Rush, Yes, The Who .....Made me a monster bassist. Slowing down not at 55!!!
Great as always. Maiden is one of the O.G.'s of metal, always worth a listen.
They've just started a new tour, well worth checking out some of their live stuff, anything from "Rock in Rio" should do the job, they now have 3 guitars in the band as well as bass, drums and a singer, well worth a look.
A lot of their lyrics are like medieval / fantasy / war based. Not sure how the inspiration but those are the most common themes in their music
Never really got into iron maiden and im 53 years old. Now im starting to appreciate em. Good video man.
6:38 that first time ever at this moment when not idea whatâs coming †Iâll miss forever
When you were going to be hanged in England, the bells would toll the same amount of times in the song as they would toll from the time they brought you out till you were hanged.
Live maiden is amazing! When you see how much fun they're having on stage, it makes it better
One of special things about this epic song is that instrumental parts is just two guitars playing twin leads, and the bass and drums. no muddy, over-produced rhythm guitars.
IRON MAIDEN has been the sound track of my life.... My family has been instructed to only play IRON MAIDEN at my wake..
Welcome to my high school years. '80-'83. Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Ozzy, UFO, Thin Lizzy, Rush, Led Zep, etc. etc, etc....
8:42 _"Feel like I'm playing a video game from the 1980's right now"_ - And you've gone past your Top Score! âšđ
BRO, if you listen to DANCE OF DEATH (live EN VIVO!) and Rime of The Ancient Mariner (live FLIGHT 666) you freak out so much you want to get an Iron Maiden tattoo on your tailbone!! Two songs with lyrics and performance so badass you'll go crazy! đ„đ„đ„
Every song by them takes you on a journey. Up the irons ! xx
see it live. en vivo rock in rio, 2008 toronto live. if he has his hair short it is because he is also flying the jumbo jet, he's a passenger jet pilot, and champion fencer, and novelist and yeah a man of many talents.
Live 1984 is the best version of the lot and you can not go wrong with iron maiden awesome band
Hey Cliff Beats, Ive watched all your reactions to Iron Maiden which has made me subscribe to your channel, watching you take this journey into metal ESPECIALLY Iron Maiden has been fun. Another Iron Maiden song I think you will enjoy is Dance of Death.
One of the greatest metal songs of all time!
This is my fav Maiden song, and widely regarded as one of the bset metal songs ever written!!! Bro, you gotta react to the official video Iron Maiden Wasted Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch some of their live stuff. These dudes are legends. And Bruce even flies their tour jet..
Congrats on the 200k subs!
I was 14 in 1982 when this came out. Damn masterpiece!
I love that you give props and love to the artist even if they have 3 million followers or 3! You rock Cliff!
Cliff. Your post song reaction made me think of something. The reason Ren's rap/hip hop is so different than the norm (not saying better or worse) is because he's a consummate musician and singer who brings that in to his rap music. Keep rockin' dude. You're the best.
Finally found one! Thank you for reacting to the album version.
The best song from a fantastic band.
It has truly been a pleasure being on this journey of discovery with you. â€â#armyofdarkness
A little Maiden every day is the best therapy
Great reaction, man.đIf you want rock music with great lyricism you really need to hear TOOL. Their singer and lyricist Maynard is one of the all time greats. For proof check out The Pot.đ»
My favorite reactor hands down. Love spending time watching you enjoy this beautiful music
Finding this album copied to a cassette among the tapes my sister gave me when she moved south is how I became a metal head đ
love this, Aces High and Powerslave is what got me into them
even heaven FELT THAT SCREAM in th eend
SINNER!!! Thou shalt not pauseth during the epicness that is the solo. REPENT!! And thou shalt be saved!
Seen them in concert back in 90s Amazing
Got to check out the 1982 live version of this song. Bruceâs voice in its prime. Just a great version of this song.
The offical video is from 1982 and is live and recorded 2 months before the album came out.
Hey Cliff great reaction! You are going to see how the metal world and hip hop really sit well together. I'm 50 and a lifelong metalhead but from the dawn of rap I was very into it's power and lyricism. But I have to say, for CERTAIN, that the lyrics of rock and metal have depth and levels that most, not all, rappers can't touch. Would love to see you react to a Moody Blues song, A Whiter Shade of Pale. THAT will test your lyrical analysis and it's a stone cold classic. Not a heavy song at all but a truly stunning one.
Great reaction, and fantastic song. I am not much for the rock/metal music, but appreciate art at its finest (Iron Maiden is definitely in this group). Have a great day Cliff and everyone else!
PS. Thanks for this one Francois!
Listen a farewell to arms
Welcome to the Show! Just scratching the surface my man.
You'll love Alexander the great by maiden. Great story telling and Bruce even raps a bit in it. Theres no band like them.
Hell Yeah UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Canât go wrong with Maiden brother! Nice review!
I found you through Ren its made my day to find youve reacted to Maiden đ
you like lyrics try rush. master musicians and lyricists. writer of this is the bass player and many others inspired by poems such as rime of the ancient mariner, movies such as the clansman. bruce wrote an 18 min soing about the crash of the british airship r101
the vocals, are very much into it, but, its also the guitar playing. and its everything together. its the vocals and the guitar playing
I learned guitar by playing Iron Maiden and Metallica. Iron Maiden taught me how to gallop, harmonize, and play in precision with other players. đ
Iron Maiden is dope. Cliff is dope.
This is my all time fav with Maiden, just chills from the enire story and the way u are taking u on a journey
This song actually is one of few that truly reminds me of the old time metal that I fell in love with in my teens, even though most of this style of metal came before I was even born, such incredible skills and musical talent
Iron Maiden has some very good songs
Though I started thinking about Metallica when seeing ur reaction, u should react to a trilogy of songs called "The unforgiven" 1 & 2 and 3, they tell the story of James Hetfield(the singer in Metallica) and his view on himself, the world and how he saw things in different parts of his life..
Always have a vote for more Maiden from me, Cliff.
I love this song by iron maiden there is also fear of the dark ,the evil that men do , children of the dammed , the trooper ,aces high but they have a great range of songs too many to name haha
Steve Harris the bass player writes most of the music and lyrics. It's said that he watches movies reads books and writes the soundtrack in his head then pens lyrics.
You should honestly do the entire Senjutsu album it's incredible
