Μολών λαβέ= as or when you come,(try and)get it. Spartan mindset. Macedonians were part of the Dorian tribe(the other 2 Hellenic tribes were the Ionians and the Aeolians) like the Spartans and they were proud of it. Up the Irons!
I was around 16 years old when I heard this song for the first time, being 40 now, still to this day the guitar solo part with the bass and drums just hammering brings tears to my eyes, bloody amazing band and song.
Déjà vu... Seriously underated track, that riff absolutely blows me away even now and I've listened to this band for over 30 years. Tbf the whole Somewhere album, Seventh son, Number of the beast, Powerslave. Believe me those few years, nobody touched them. Also, check out Di'Anno on Phantom of the Opera. Early maiden but boy... What an epic journey. So nice to see new Maiden fans, you're like our very own blank canvas, keep up the good work! 🤘
Also while I'm here, you should try some Judas Priest. The Sentinel is a great starter for you. It was that track, and Maidens 'The Trooper', that got me into metal (and particularly those two bands) in a serious way.
@@BrotherMan321 Haha I don't tend to do it but was being lazy 🤣 Absolutely. It's a beast of a track that encapsulates everything good about that band at that time. One of my all time favourites 🍻
Oh man, the whole album is very nostalgic for me. But I will never forget discovering Déjà vu while grinding in Tanaris with my Orc warrior on WoW. It just blew my mind.
I'm singing it to myself right now!! "Feels like I've been there before!! Feels like I've been there before! Feels like I've been there before! Feels like I've been there before!!!!!"
Two guitarists in this band. The first solo was played by Adrian Smith (my personal favorite) and the second solo was played by the legend Dave Murray.
@@Noksivs - Yeah but they are both lead and rhythm so they take turns on lead which results in a ecstasy of exchanges between the two. Most bands have just dedicated lead and rhythm.
@@JD.Knight @Libero: Hm. How much reactions do you see with Alexander The Great? All are doing the known stuff and the suggestors mostly suggest 10 others before they reach ATG. So imho underrated. If somebody Asks me about Maiden songs, ATG is in my Top 3.
My favorite Iron Maiden song.. my first time hearing it i fell in love with it. My Favorite band since 1982 and my son who is 23 it is his favorite band too. Please check out To Tame A Land, The Number of the Beast, The Nomad, The Parchment, Rime of the Ancient Mariner just to name a few ;)
Wow, great thoughts and reaction!. You echo my own feelings when i first heard this song and Maiden overall. From this album you might as well check out the tracks - Heaven can wait, and also - The loneliness of the long distance runner. Okay seeing as you're looking for the references you might as well react to the Maiden song - Flight of icarus(from the album - piece of mind). There's a reference to it in this album art, see if you can spot it! :). Icarus i think was an ancient Greek or Roman tale i think. Guitarists are Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. A third guitarist joined the band after these early albums (Janick Gers, he has contributed a lot to the newer stuff)
To Tame a Land (awesome bass lines) and of course incredible guitar solos (My personal favorite). Otherwise if you want a straight forward banger, awesome album opener, I would strongly suiggest MOONCHILD. Other epics that you will have to hear at some point are Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
I wonder if "To Tame a Land" will get a little more attention soon as the much awaited Dune part two (actually the second half of the book material) will hit theaters next week.
After listening to the entire album I'd say I prefer Adrian Smith out of the two, but I'm going to disagree with that one. Slash is a total monster. Not just his work with GnR but Velvet Revolver, Slash's Snake Pit, and his Solo Album were all insane! 100% in the same league.
@@hurm1t974 Rookie. Keep listening to more Maiden and you'll see the separation...You haven't even gotten to Seventh Son. You will come to understand. One day.
after like15 years playing guitar i realized the way is not just to be able to play fast. the important thing is the notes you chose and how you can play them and the overall construction
Try « To tame a land » from the « Piece of mind » album. If you have loved this « Alexander the great », i think you will love this song too. And you can do all the songs of my « holy trinity » of Maiden’s albums: Piece of minds, Powerslave, and Somewhere in time. Only great songs and some masterpieces.
Hearing this song when I was really young is a huge part of the reason I have degrees in Classics today. I wanted to learn about everything that came before and after Alexander in the Mediterranean after hearing it. Speaking of, I dig the shirt. 🤘
The details in the art work only makes sense if you're very familiar with the band. It's full of references of their previous work leading up to and including this album. 🤘
It's so nice to see the stank face reacting to something beautiful like this for the first time!! Reminds me of my first listen!!! Nice channel! Keep going!!
I don’t doubt at all that they would play this incredible song next year in the future past tour ! That would be a huge challenge especially for Bruce ! But these guys can do everything! Fans have been claiming for this song for years , I think this now or never ! This tour is gonna be a mixed from Senjutsu and Somewhere in time
Dude!!! What a sick song eh? Im a huge rap fan as well as metal. Theres so many samples from metal and rock used in rap its wild. Just cause you loved this song so much let me melt your brain. Try Helloween- keeper of the 7 keys studio version. Smoke some grass an sit back and let it carry you away
So glad you have found this album. The Art ... Yeah having this and the B side on vinyl as a 14 year old :) This song is such a way to finish a truly Classic Album, still can't get over Adrian Smith's feel, tone with the best bands mates. Also ... The break down in Sea of Madness is one of the most perfect pieces of music ever recorded, trust you will feel it soon.
Been enjoyable watching your Iron Maiden reacts. See you've done 8 of their songs so far. I've been listening to Iron Maiden since 1982, at the age of 15. Probably the biggest heavy metal band from Britain, along with Judas Priest. Iron Maiden is: Bruce Dickinson - Vocals Born: August 7, 1958 (age 63 years) Started with Iron Maiden in 1981, left in 1993 and rejoined in 1999 and present singer Steve Harris- Bassist and Founder Born: March 12, 1956 (age 65 years), Started the band in 1975 and has never left Dave Murray- Guitarist Born: December 23, 1956 (age 65 years), 1976-1977, 1978-present Adrian Smith- Guitarist Born: February 27, 1957 (age 64 years), 1980-1990, 1999-present Janick Gers- Guiarist Born: January 27, 1957 (age 65 years), 1990 - present Nicko McBrain - Drums Born: June 5, 1952 (age 69 years), 1982 - present Iron Maiden just put out their 17th studio album last year. If you like story telling great prominent bass line, great drumming and guitar solos you will love Iron Maiden. Next ones I'd recommend doing is Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Live at Long Beach Arena) and Where Eagles Dare (studio) - KILLER DRUMS ON THIS ONE Murders in the Rue Morgue (named after a short story by Edgar Allan Poe) had first singer Paul DiAnno Rime of the Ancient Mariner - (From the poem of the same name by Samuel Taylor Coleridge(story about about an ocean voyage) Epic 13+ min song 2 Minutes to Midnight - About the Doomsday clock for the End of the World The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (based on a short story of Alan Sillitoe which was made into a 1962 film Alexander the Great (About the story of Alexander the Great) ***You've done this one The Prisoner (based on the UK television series that ran briefly in the late 1960’s) Run to the Hills (about the European arrival in America told from the perspective of both the oppressed Cree and the invading Anglo-Saxon soldiers) Aces High (about aircraft dog fighting between the British and German fighter pilots of WWII) ***You've done this one Powerslave (about an arrogant pharaoh in his dying hours, he can't understand why he's about to die and fights it in vain) ***You've done this one Trooper (based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854,which took place during the Crimean War) ***You've done this one Where Eagles Dare (based on an Alistair Maclean novel, (1967), and film (1968) about a WWII rescue of an American general from a Nazi stronghold in the Bavarian Alps Revelations (The work of Aleister Crowley influenced the writing of this song, starts out with a Hymnal Oh God of Earth and Alter) Flight of Icarus (loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus) To Tame a Land (the song relays the story of Paul Atreides, Paul Muad'Dib, from the book Dune by Frank Herbert) Can I Play With Madness (Describes a young man who tries to learn the future from an old prophet in order to come to terms with his visions and nightmares) The Evil that Men Do (Title from William Shakespeare's Julius Caeser, but song is unrelated) The Clairvoyant (relates the reflections of the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son on his life and his powers) Fear of the Dark (the fears we all have of what is in the dark) (Do Live in Rio) Ghost of the Navigator (The lyrics are a metaphor of life, with the ship sailing west towards the setting sun representing death) Brave New World (Loosely based on the 1932 novel by Aldous Huxley) No More Lies (About someone who knows that his time has come with the darkening sky's representing the beginning of the end) Dream of Mirrors (based on reoccurring and maybe premonitory dreams) Dance of Death (Story takes place in the deep south of the U.S. where Voodoo is taking place) (Do live Death on the Road) Paschendale (about the Battle of Passchendaele during WWI) Brighter than a Thousand Suns (About the dawn of the nuclear bomb age) The Longest Day (about the WWII Normandy Invasion) That should give you plenty of material for Iron Maiden Up the Irons!
Iron maiden are my favorite metal band of all time, I've been a fan since 82 when I was 12 and this album is phenomenal, every song on here is just superb in every aspect, you've gotta listen to this entire album, wasted years, stranger in a strange land, somewhere in time, déjà vu, loneliness of the long distance runner, heaven can wait, you've gotta check out their live performances, they are so much better live, I actually saw them about 6 years ago here in Washington where I live in the Tacoma dome and they were amazing live, absolutely flawless and incredible and they blew the roof off! I'll never forget this experience. Check out flight 666 live, every song is filmed and recorded in a different country on this massive world tour, check out aces high live, power slave live , rime of the ancient mariner live , hallowed be thy name live, flight 666. Check out dance of death live also.
Helloween-Eagle Fly Free(studio version), Yo the dude is just burnin and ragin some Maiden, brings me back, enjoy it while you can bro.It's two guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, nowadays throw in Jannick Gers. UP THE IRONS!.
Bro I was a teenager in the 80's!! If u haven't listen to Judas Priest!! I would introduce you to the song The Blood Stone!!! But the Sinner would be more fitting!
I am predicting your future and it says you will end up liking more songs by Iron Maiden than any other band, so here's a little bit to expand your rabbit hole. Where Eagles Dare (based on a 1968 World War 2 movie with Clint Eastwood) Sun and Steel (based on a historical Japanese samurai) To Tame a land (based on the book Dune) Losfer Words (big 'orra) (instrumental) Flash Of The Blade Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge) Heaven Can Wait The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (based on a book or a movie i think) Stranger In A Strange Land (based on a failed Arctic or Antarctic expedition) Infinite Dream The Evil That Men Do Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son The Prophecy The Clairvoyant There are a lot more, but I figure you should get enjoyment from these before you move onto other songs, I haven't even heard all their songs yet and I like over 90 songs.
Where you like the drums in this song the time scale is 6/8 which what hip hop musicians mostly apply. I think that's why you like it or found it familiar.
Next up: phantom of the opera (singer is different, Paul Dianno), and Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Both Epic! Also, if you like epic: rush 2112 (with lyrics). Thx dude
Sadly we never got to hear this live... in Bruces younger days... And now with Bruce aging, and the effect the cancer had on his throat, which I have zero doubt it damaged something. He hasnt sounded the same since. This coming from a 40 year fan, a Bruce solo fan. Bruce will always to me be the best in metal.
Good news is this great song only gets better with repeated listens, trust me after all these years. If you want to hear modern Maiden listen to the best from last year’s album...Senjutsu, the Parchment and Hell on Earth.
The number of the beast album like you were saying the one with hallowed be they name in it well the rest of the songs are phenomenal as well then the piece of mind album which is after that one , even better then the number of the beast album.
Doesn't count for this song because never played live for some mysterious reason, but with most Maiden songs you should experience the live version and have the lyrics out. There are 5 songwriters in the band and 2 lyricists. Also 3 lead guitarists now, each with quite different styles.
I really disagree, always before studio, then live, both great the same, studio ALWAYS sounds better because well... It's studio it's made to sound perfect, so don't say bullshit like live is better. On the other hand, live versions still sounds awesome and adds the live performance vibes plus audience going crazy, so imo both are awesome. But ALWAYS experience studio version first, so you can enjoy and understand live version better, and if you listen before live then you ruined your experience of listening the studio version, because you will just think the live is cooler while in reality it's not that way.
Thank you Alex for reminding me why I'm not on social media or even subscribing to YT channels. Why so caustic? I offered an opinion. Yours may be different, which is great. Would suck if everyone's opinion was the same. I'm sure this kid doesn't have the time to be watching & reacting to studio plus live versions of most songs. Maybe we should meet up and have a fistfight to determine whose opinion is better. You could teach me a lesson for having such a bullshit opinion. Sound good?

Try reacting to IRON MAIDEN songs RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER and TO TAME A LAND
Μολών λαβέ= as or when you come,(try and)get it. Spartan mindset. Macedonians were part of the Dorian tribe(the other 2 Hellenic tribes were the Ionians and the Aeolians) like the Spartans and they were proud of it. Up the Irons!
Adrian Smith and Dave Murray are the guitarists and have stood untouched for decades.... timeless.
Most underrated Iron Maiden tune IMHO is Stranger in a Strange Land from this Album... The solo is stunning as is the bass leading into it 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It's my all time fave Maiden track.
masterpiece
The only 2 Maiden posters I have in my room are Live After Death and Stranger in a Strange Land
Adrian Smith just went to another world on this album.
I was around 16 years old when I heard this song for the first time, being 40 now, still to this day the guitar solo part with the bass and drums just hammering brings tears to my eyes, bloody amazing band and song.

Adrian Smith and Dave Murray share the solo
Words cannot express how great this is
Three guitarists in maiden and they are all brilliant. Dave murrey, adrian smith and janick gers
On this album only two tho.. Adrian and Dave.
@@Noksivs - Yeah but they are both lead and rhythm so they take turns on lead which results in a ecstasy of exchanges between the two. Most bands have just dedicated lead and rhythm.
@@Starnerdz Yes.
Don’t forget Dennis Stratton’s guitar playing on the first album!
Janick Gers very unneeded, hate his crap on stage and butchering of Adrian's solos. Very unneeded.
"Dude! What?" (11:48). Love your facial expressions= Dave Murray + Adrain Smith!!!!!!!!!!!
Infinite Dreams
Yeah! One of the most underrated Songs of Maiden! Thanks! Great reaction. Up the irons \m/
I don't think it's underrated at all,every metal listener love this song
Hardly underrated
@@JD.Knight @Libero: Hm. How much reactions do you see with Alexander The Great? All are doing the known stuff and the suggestors mostly suggest 10 others before they reach ATG. So imho underrated. If somebody Asks me about Maiden songs, ATG is in my Top 3.

Other epics that you will have to hear at some point are Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
To Tame a Land is also very underrated!!
I opened a concert in a band called Angel Landing with "Moonchild"!
A black guy stated on CZcams that Bruce Dickinson is a rapper when he heard "To Tame a Land!!!" Lol
I wonder if "To Tame a Land" will get a little more attention soon as the much awaited Dune part two (actually the second half of the book material) will hit theaters next week.
Dave Murray and Adrain Smith - CRUSH Slash!!!!! Not even in the same league, boy.

Didn't ask you to turn your back on him.

So many great memories in the 80's with Maiden. Surfing all day with best friends, smoking and sharing the good times. Up the Irons!
The funny thing is that you make the same faces that I made when I heard this album when I had it in my possession in the 80's.. Nice!
Now you're ready for Rime of the ancient mariner! Do the studio version first
i agree with this, studio version first
Yup the post passage read scream and the 30 seconds that follow it, still gives me goose bumps 35 yrs later. Just an epic transition
The details in the art work only makes sense if you're very familiar with the band.
It's full of references of their previous work leading up to and including this album. 🤘
It's so nice to see the stank face reacting to something beautiful like this for the first time!! Reminds me of my first listen!!! Nice channel! Keep going!!
Iron Maiden changed my life!

"Come and get it!"
Rime of the ancient mariner flight 666
Can't go wrong with any Maiden, but this one is a must
Agreed!!!
YES!!!

Iron maiden are my favorite metal band of all time, I've been a fan since 82 when I was 12 and this album is phenomenal, every song on here is just superb in every aspect, you've gotta listen to this entire album, wasted years, stranger in a strange land, somewhere in time, déjà vu, loneliness of the long distance runner, heaven can wait, you've gotta check out their live performances, they are so much better live, I actually saw them about 6 years ago here in Washington where I live in the Tacoma dome and they were amazing live, absolutely flawless and incredible and they blew the roof off! I'll never forget this experience. Check out flight 666 live, every song is filmed and recorded in a different country on this massive world tour, check out aces high live, power slave live , rime of the ancient mariner live , hallowed be thy name live, flight 666. Check out dance of death live also.

Run silent, run deep
YES!
Nice shirt mate ;)
You should react to the aongs Infinite Dreams and Seventh son of a seventh son! I highly recommend then.
This 1 was the 1st 1 Maiden I heard way back in jr H in the late 80s
I am predicting your future and it says you will end up liking more songs by Iron Maiden than any other band, so here's a little bit to expand your rabbit hole.
Where Eagles Dare (based on a 1968 World War 2 movie with Clint Eastwood)
Sun and Steel (based on a historical Japanese samurai)
To Tame a land (based on the book Dune)
Losfer Words (big 'orra) (instrumental)
Flash Of The Blade
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
Heaven Can Wait
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (based on a book or a movie i think)
Stranger In A Strange Land (based on a failed Arctic or Antarctic expedition)
Infinite Dream
The Evil That Men Do
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
The Prophecy
The Clairvoyant
There are a lot more, but I figure you should get enjoyment from these before you move onto other songs, I haven't even heard all their songs yet and I like over 90 songs.
I like your T shirt!!!

μολων λαβε φιλε εισαι γιγαντας!!!απο αθηνα
All The songs of Somewhere In Time Álbum are incredible.i like to see that Young kids Hear heavy metal in 2022
Where you like the drums in this song the time scale is 6/8 which what hip hop musicians mostly apply. I think that's why you like it or found it familiar.
I learned more history listening to Iron Maiden than 3 years of high school history classes. FACT 🤓
Many history lessons Maiden sings about. Try song ..longest day or pachendale for that ww1 & ww2 vibe. Powerful music
Next up: phantom of the opera (singer is different, Paul Dianno), and Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Both Epic!
Also, if you like epic: rush 2112 (with lyrics).
Thx dude
Murray does the last solo
There is a Tardis also in the album cover.
for an other great guitar live solo , Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb ( live to Pulse concert 1994 ) 🎸🎶🎶
Hey. We got any Veterans on here? This kid gets it I think??
Μολών Λαβέ! Nice!!!
You should try Blood brothers, you'd love the guitar solo in that song.
This reminds me of seventh son of the seventh son from Iron Maiden earlier album
Aliens, Terminator, Blade Runner
Please check out Iron maiden Seventh
Son concert in 2014 its a song off Somewhere in time. The concert is crazy fire🔥
I played my somewhere tape when I was 16 until it was completely f#cked brilliant album
Better late than never. :)
Sadly we never got to hear this live... in Bruces younger days... And now with Bruce aging, and the effect the cancer had on his throat, which I have zero doubt it damaged something. He hasnt sounded the same since. This coming from a 40 year fan, a Bruce solo fan.
Bruce will always to me be the best in metal.
We’ve got a chance more then ever with the tour this summer
Now we finally hear it live!!
Good news is this great song only gets better with repeated listens, trust me after all these years. If you want to hear modern Maiden listen to the best from last year’s album...Senjutsu, the Parchment and Hell on Earth.
The number of the beast album like you were saying the one with hallowed be they name in it well the rest of the songs are phenomenal as well then the piece of mind album which is after that one , even better then the number of the beast album.
Buddy, us old metal gods can help u!!
Please React Iron Maiden - The rime of the ancient mariner Live flight 666.
ANOTHER STEVE HARRIS MASTERPIECE
I told you that you would love this song Maiden have never played it live now listen to a stranger in a stranger land
Duddee check out thwir newest album senjutsu title track is fucking triumphant
The track Senjutsu isn't that good, for me anyway. Personally that track is the weakest song on the album.
Slash isn't in daves league
One of Adrien's best solos. IMO
I usually prefer his solos but on this i like Daves a tad more lol. Caught somewhere in time is probably my fav solo ever.
if you never heard of them, try Everything Everything great modern band!!
Safe and healthy. Sorry bro smithing.up w/my apple. 🤘
What’s with the Μόλων Λαβέ t shirt. Spartan not Macedonian! Great reaction!
Μολών λαβέ... I hear u Spartan
Still Life off of Piece of Mind!
NEXT ! Rime..... Live 666
The Terminator 🤟🤟
Check out all of the new album Senjutsu
Doesn't count for this song because never played live for some mysterious reason, but with most Maiden songs you should experience the live version and have the lyrics out. There are 5 songwriters in the band and 2 lyricists. Also 3 lead guitarists now, each with quite different styles.
I really disagree, always before studio, then live, both great the same, studio ALWAYS sounds better because well... It's studio it's made to sound perfect, so don't say bullshit like live is better.
On the other hand, live versions still sounds awesome and adds the live performance vibes plus audience going crazy, so imo both are awesome.
But ALWAYS experience studio version first, so you can enjoy and understand live version better, and if you listen before live then you ruined your experience of listening the studio version, because you will just think the live is cooler while in reality it's not that way.
Thank you Alex for reminding me why I'm not on social media or even subscribing to YT channels. Why so caustic? I offered an opinion. Yours may be different, which is great. Would suck if everyone's opinion was the same. I'm sure this kid doesn't have the time to be watching & reacting to studio plus live versions of most songs. Maybe we should meet up and have a fistfight to determine whose opinion is better. You could teach me a lesson for having such a bullshit opinion. Sound good?
