They never played this live. A really underated Maiden song. That is bound to happen when you have so many great songs. To Tame a Land is also a deep cut gem.
Lol there's a vid of them live where the crowd was asking g for this song and Bruce was like ok finishe this part and he sang a part of this one and the crowd didn't answer lmao so maiden siento played it xD
I won't say it's underrated, it's well know for being one of the best maiden songs amongst maiden fans. Definitely into the top 10 songs for most fans I bet.
Derek Riggs was their cover artist for some time, did all the early album covers plus extra art for singles, this one was special as the band had little idea what to do for a cover so they allowed Derek to create the theme and add whatever he wanted, lots of hidden Easter eggs, he said it's one of his favorites yet was the most difficult, he worked up to the 11th hour finishing this album cover. Sidenote: I passed a college history final essay using these song lyrics as crib notes, got an A, thanks Steve Harris - haha
I passed so many history tests because of Iron Maiden. This song in particular got me interested in ancient Greece as a child, and now I'm a Classicist. I like to throw that in my mom's face since she used to call all my metal music "stupid racket." Lol

Fun thing about listening to Maiden is trying to figure who does what solo and where the transitions are to the next soloist starts since they all have unique styles of playing plus how many solos the songs bring🔥
i find it easier to hear who plays the solo by just listening to if the sound of the guitar is primarily from left or right (or center in the newer albums with the third guitarist), the guitar sound itself can also be a giveaway since they all dont have the exact same sound
Despite being much abridged, the events described, and the actins of Alexander, are fairly accurately told in this song. It is in fact a history lesson set to song. Remarkable
It is time for The Seventh Son of a Seventh Son! Their concept album starting with one of their best songs: Moonchild. The first 8 songs are all great btw...
I passed so many history classes because of Iron Maiden and a few other power-metal bands. This song likely fertilized my brain to become a Classicist as an adult. The Classical and Hellenic Mediterranean is an obsession of mine.
This came out in- I think my sophomore year where we had World History class I was an Alexander The Great expert by the time we covered his time. 😆 In English( high school) the teacher read Charge of the Light Brigade. I yelled out " The Trooper" and I didnt even realize at the time thats what it was based on. They are more than " boy sees girl. Boy stalks girl. Boy..."whatever song kind of band
Great review. Song is from Somewhere in Time back in 1986. They had never played it live UNTIL May of 2023. Song had been requested by Iron Maiden fans for years to be played live. From the videos I've seen online the fans are going crazy when they play it. Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden is another one you need to check out. My favorite Iron Maiden song followed by Alexander the Great.
If you like bangers, The reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, The clansman, Educated fool, Lord of light, Fortunes of war, Revelations, Murder in the Rue Morgue, The Prowler, Running free.....
That was a classic maiden !!! Next you can check with the Revelations from Piece of Mind Album... Another, song with deep meaning... Better with a lyrical track.
When we reach the first chorus, Alexander was a legend. By the second chorus, he was a God. But at the end of the song, Alexander died of fever like any mortal man.
(LA Leakers Ray Vaughn) is straight 🔥🔥.. Bars , Bars and more Bars is all I can guarantee you. Ray Vaughn has more bars than a Snickers. Ray Vaughn Bars will have your 🧠 brain thinking it's in a prison.. It's one of the best rap sessions of 2021. I promise you won't be disappointed. PEACE ✌️.......
Well you just need to grab these bars/Lyrics and do The Duelist, Paschendale, The Longest Day, Empire of the Clouds, Seventh Son, Reincarnation of Ben Breeg, Infinite Dreams, The Clansman w/Bruce live( Rock in Rio), Fire Bars & Killer Instrumentals that will do playlist & Gym set off right
Also, Maiden are doing a new tour in 2023 and the theme is "The Future Past", there's the hope that they finally include this in the setlist as they've never performed it live. Hope your vids stop getting blocked, don't know the secret as plenty of people have done reactions to the songs/artists you did that got blocked, I'd say check out the first 2 albums, different vocalist but still some of their coolest songs - Up The Irons!
Dude, take it back a few years to watch the live video for Hallowed be Thy Name. THAT should be everyone's intro to Maiden. I mean, you're past that point, but go pay your dues.
lil J Many maiden fans consider this a clunker. I hope you’re doing the entire album and that’s why your here There’s a lot of maiden stuff that blows this away unfortunately it’s later material and doesn’t get the respect it deserves You want to pump iron Here ya go The wicker man El dorado A different world The pilgrim Invaders Blood brothers Aces high Tail gunner You can thank me later
Iron Maiden never played or played this song live.
yet
next years tour, i can almost guarantee they will
That could change very soon
@@michaelf40 Only once. Belgrade
I would freak out if they ever played the duelist
When you start to get the chills, you begin to understand metal
I was an iron maiden fan since I was 13, I'm 51 now and still consider them the greatest prog metal band ever.
Me too!!! Up the Irons!!!
You've got ten years on me, but I still feel the same. 41 here, and my history teachers thank them.
Exactly.. no comparison
They never played this live. A really underated Maiden song. That is bound to happen when you have so many great songs. To Tame a Land is also a deep cut gem.

Didn't **

They did
Like thousands of others it was Iron Maiden that got me hooked on history and poetry. Up The Irons!

If you like this you should react to every song on this album, they're all good. Also their album 'Seventh son' is amazing.
The first 8 albums are all worth collecting and listening to. The 80's was Maiden's golden age
History lessons by Iron Maiden are the best.
Is a metal lesson of ancient History , Bruce Dickinson is a passionate reader Historical.
I passed so many history tests because of Iron Maiden. This song in particular got me interested in ancient Greece as a child, and now I'm a Classicist. I like to throw that in my mom's face since she used to call all my metal music "stupid racket." Lol

When I was 16 I bought this LP on cassette and from there my life changed!

That whole album is great.
Great song. Thanks for the good reaction.
Dude, you gotta try some Dio again. Dio is the master of metal music! They'll never be another man like him. Gone too soon, but never forgotten! 🤘🏼
This came out in- I think my sophomore year where we had World History class

If you want a gym song, try loneliness of the long distance runner off the same album
I've done many miles running with maiden playlists, the time and miles fly by
A legendary song bro. primo reaction
When we reach the first chorus, Alexander was a legend. By the second chorus, he was a God. But at the end of the song, Alexander died of fever like any mortal man.
Ok……?
Aces high. Studio version.
🤘😎👍🎶🎶
YES finally someone reactts to this song. UP THE IRONS 🤘
Check out a Metal band ( black dudes) called.. Living Colour, Cult of Personality.. 100% you will love it.
Bro please react to their greatest song ever “ hallowed be thy name “
That’s the song I started with @alejandroperez it happened off camera that’s why I can’t do a reaction to it unfortunately.
@@LILJ_303 great that means your reaction is authentic.. hope you do more iron maiden reaction
One of their best for sure!! You need to react to Hell on Earth, Empire of the clouds.
The best metal is about myth and legend, dragons and heroes.
(LA Leakers Ray Vaughn) is straight 🔥🔥.. Bars , Bars and more Bars is all I can guarantee you. Ray Vaughn has more bars than a Snickers. Ray Vaughn Bars will have your 🧠 brain thinking it's in a prison.. It's one of the best rap sessions of 2021. I promise you won't be disappointed. PEACE ✌️.......
If you look in the bottom left hand corner of the album art, You'll see the band.
Never played this one live
that one that was just about to come on right at the end before you paused, play that one
Iron Maiden does have the dopest t-shirts and album art
Well you just need to grab these bars/Lyrics and do The Duelist, Paschendale, The Longest Day, Empire of the Clouds, Seventh Son, Reincarnation of Ben Breeg, Infinite Dreams, The Clansman w/Bruce live( Rock in Rio), Fire Bars & Killer Instrumentals that will do playlist & Gym set off right

I got you on the metal music for the gym
Dude, take it back a few years to watch the live video for Hallowed be Thy Name. THAT should be everyone's intro to Maiden. I mean, you're past that point, but go pay your dues.
That actually was my intro which is why there was no reaction to hollowed be thy name maybe I can check out the live tho
Good song choice
Chk out Ryme of the Ancient Mariner! Both this and Ryme helped me pass Junior year honors classes in 1988!
I did a paper on Ryme. Didn't read it just went by what I heard in the song and got a B.
Bro please do acacia avenue please 🙏
