Every Iron Maiden show is a Broadway production, a history lesson, a work-out, and your brain baked for 2.5 hours.
@The Stranger I was at the recording 'Live After Death' concert Long Beach Arena 1985, and saw Paul Di'Anno play with his band Killers where he just sang the first two Maiden albums. The same year. At a bar in California.
@@pthor6265, haha, I was at that show too! I was 16 at the time.
Drove down to the show from Bellflower with three friends.
And in '92, I won tickets on KNAC to see Paul and his band _Killers_ at Banana's in Santa Ana.
P.S. Which bar did you see Paul?
Steve’s Bass is very very audible in all maiden songs it’s something he makes absolutely sure of Aileen
He also writes most of the songs
Not always. I love SH style of playing but his super low action and style of playing makes the clack of his strings hitting the frets more audible than than the note payed.
@@rallypoint1 not true , the clack , tends to blend in with the drums any one with a good pair of working ears can hear his actual notes easily.
that said IM exemplifies how you can mix a bunch of instruments and still make each one audible. so many people bury this or that instrument in the mix.
@@DenverStarkey We can agree to disagree. I still hear the clack over the note at times but that’s maybe just me. Oh and my hearing is excellent btw. My vision…not so much. LOL
Take care!!🤘🏼
Prime Bruce was unreal, an absolute powerhouse.
Agreed. It's a shame how much his voice degraded over time. It was sad hearing how little ability and power he had during one of the 2014 tours I went to and listening to some songs of current Maiden stuff now.
When it comes to the debate between Halford and Dickinson, Halford managed to not only preserve most of his voice, but really enhance it in a new direction, adding a deeper operatic power behind it.
Greatest band on Earth. It’s amazing how metal gets criticism for being loud and satanic. Yet most musicians respect metal as a constantly groundbreaking and imaginative genre. You can’t find an untalented metal musician since it requires mastering your art in order to be relevant. And there’s bands like Iron Maiden who are not only talented but in their love for history and literature, have come up with some of the most iconic songs ever. It is really like the contemporary version of classical music. The constant search for perfection. If you ever read this I would love to see a video reaction about how people in the past reacted to metal music. Love your channel and twitch. ❤️
Agree on your comments on Maiden. There are though metal band and musicians who are farrrrr from great musicians.
Dont matter. Hail satan
Well said 🤘
That's awesome bro ever since I was young boy Iron Maiden has been my favorite heavy metal band of all time still to this day they're rocking out like they haven't skipped a beat.
Yes
So glad that you recognized the genius of Steve Harris' bass lines. He makes Iron Maiden who they are. That gallop is so iconic.
Steve Harris (Bass) wrote the entire song including the lyrics, and he wrote it last minute to finish the Powerslave album. So this masterpiece was written under pressure like a kid trying to finish their homework on Sunday night, pretty damn impressive and one of many reasons why Steve is one of the greatest songwriters in Metal.
A GENIUS
It's an incredible masterwork of progressive metal.
Bruce is classically educated, he also wrote a couple books as well. You can see the huge difference in what iron maiden sounded like and what they sang about before Bruce. He's an amazing guy volunteered to pilot planes bring troops home from Afghanistan.
As Bruce stated in the intro to the song, it's based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge of the same name. The reason there are so many changes is because they stick to the moods and word choice in this poem. The poem in itself has different 'stages' or chapters with clear dividing lines in tone and feel. It's amazing they managed to replicate the moods and feelings so well without really using lyrics to convey them as much as great musicianship.
Your comment about " almost hypnotizing" is spot on. The sailors were drifting on the ocean, with no wind, and no water to drink. slowly dying, nothing to do, but accept their fate they would soon die of thirst. So they just slumped down in the boat, silent, as the they rocked slowly back and forth.
Steve Harris (the Bassist) IS Iron Maiden. It's his baby. He is creator, founder, leader, and writes most of the music and lyrics. He is the only constant since he created Maiden in '75.
He writes all the music and plays the horse trot triplets.
The secret to the "maiden trot" is that bass. He is clinical.
I remembering seeing this song live during the Powerslave tour in San Antonio, Tx 1985. This was Maiden at their peak.
Was right there with you great show at the Arena
Hi Aileen, please consider reacting to Iron Maiden “Dance of Death” (the Live EN VIVO! version). This is a powerful live performance in front of an electric crowd, which highlights Bruce’s powerful voice, his masterful storytelling abilities and his lyricism, all set to catchy riffs and metal grooves (even a classical accelerating tarantella-style guitar riff at the end). Truly magical!
Yes, Dance Of Death next please.
YES
The bass is such a prominent element in Iron Maiden's music because it is basically Steve Harris' band. He started the band, recruited all of its members over the years, and is the mastermind behind the entire enterprise.
Best live performing band period!!! Stuff today can't even come close.. many bands in their time period watched them in wonder..
I've just realised that you post the social medias of the bands you react to in your descriptions. It's shocking how few reactors take the time to do that, much respect!
Thanks for noticing! These bands/artists need some recognition for their talents
"Iconic" is a great way to describe Bruce Dickinson's voice. The band actually originally had another singer, Paul Di'Anno, who was also amazing, but his (alleged) methamphetamine use caused friction with the rest of the band, so they sacked him. A lot of people argued (and some still argue to this day) that firing him was a mistake, though I have no idea how one can truly believe that firing a literal meth-head and hiring one of the most iconic metal singers of all time was a mistake.
not sure about a mistake but I would say the Di'Anno albums are more fun than the Bruce albums personally
Dianno was hands down a better singer, but I grew up with Bruce. I got love for them both.
Listen to Bruce in Samson and he doesn't sound too much like he does in Maiden. Back when he called himself Bruce Bruce. I like both but I don't think Maiden would have gotten as big as they did without Bruce but I do prefer the first 2 albums and Maiden Japan EP with Di'Anno more. Played the crap out the first album when it came out.
they were more punky with Paul and more artsy with Bruce...but I doubt they would have gotten as far and "main stream" with Paul....just sayin'
Killers is an amazing album and Di'Anno is great on it. But Bruce. Well Bruce is Bruce. The greatest frontman of all time.
I saw this tour front row in 1984 in Portland Oregon! Still the best show that I have ever seen and I’ve seen well over 100! The storytelling, the mastery of musicianship by every member, and the pure energy of this band is second to none! Up the Irons!
Saw the same concert, just not front row.
I agree...one of the greatest songs ever. I've seen them in concert 7 times so far, and I've met Bruce twice. Best live band I've ever seen. Nobody can match them for energy levels, talent and longevity!
Awesome! I've seen em 5 times and met Steve Harris.
@@zfgdun cool! I would love to meet Steve, he is the definition of a living legend 🤟
Never met any of them, but my first concert was seeing the Powerslave tour with my father. He'd never seen me go wild like that to music.
Bruce's stage banter has always been top notch.🤣
Also, other song from this same show to check out are (all of them)
Number of the beast & Powerslave
I'm glad AileenSenpai didn't become a super model... she makes these video's to be our super model. Love you ❤
Bruce has an epic voice, but you got to check JudasPriesr Rob Halfordsinging, especially during the 70s and 80s. Check alive version of victims of changesfrom the 80s, Rob has an amazing voice
Fine of the ancient mariner and powerslave back to back in the mid eighties, was epic, 30 minutes of greatness and don't forget the 40' tall Edie on the stage and the drummer rising up to the rafters
First comment, I laughed "nice bangs" Well in metal, hairstyle in important, lol. We read the poem for British Literature class in HS. I brought the song in for class and played it. To think I was listening to this in 1984, pretty sure before you were born Aileen. Man, I'm old. Bruce is a modern Renaissance man - singer of a rock band, commercial pilot, fencer, author, etc. The soft interlude represents the ship adrift at sea as the crew starts to die. Aileen, I encourage you to read over the lyrics to get a better appreciation of the meaning behind the song. The moral of the story comes at the end - "...We must love all things that God made" If you ever want to know what the best Iron Maiden songs are IMO and the meaning behind them, just look at the list I left in the comments of your Fear of the Dark react.
So many kids have to read the poem in high school - this song is like the heavy metal Cliff Notes. Maiden takes a poem that students may find boring and makes it really exciting. They do that sort of thing with history, too. Imagine having Bruce Dickinson as your history teacher.
You noticed how Steve Harris (bass) is often seen singing along as he plays. He wrote the song. I've spotted him doing that in a lot of songs and he happened to write a lot of them.
Steve Harris the bassist is the primary songwriter so if you like bass this is your jam for sure
If she loves the baselines so much she's in for a real treat with Iron Maiden. Maybe try wrathchild?
Its great to see a reaction that really appreciates the whole band and their chemistry. Steve Harris is a first rate bassist and Bruce has boundless energy, he is also an airline pilot and has flown the band all over the world on Ed Force One. He is also a championship fencer and even presents tv shows, on occasion. As a band they genuinely respect their fans, and fans are loyal to Maiden. Run to the Hills is a personal favourite check it out, it is about the Native Americans and their struggles with the settlers. Up the Irons
They are touring still too... put that on your bucket list. Their concerts are such an experience.
Would love to see your reaction to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son! That entire album is masterpiece after masterpiece, but the title track is on par with Rime of the Ancient Mariner in my opinion!
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son is my favourite song of all times. Would ve great if you could react to it.
Steve Harris the bassist wrote the song and was the founder of the band
I saw them for this tour in Dallas, Greatness! They opened up with Aces High. Steve Harris was the reason I started playing bass, he is one of the best ever! As a bass player, I agree 100% that we need more love and attention 😁 BTW, Aces High would be excellent choice for your next Maiden song.
One of my all time faves as well. Hope they play this on the current tour. I'm seeing them live in monday.
Seen them a couple of weeks ago. They are all in their sixties and probably performing better than ever.
It gets even better when you understand what the lyrics are saying. Knowing the story of the rime of the ancient mariner you understand the ship piece in the middle.
Love your reaction
You lady just opened a Pandora’s box, and I’m so grateful to see you do it.
I know most people will suggest the typical maiden songs, but please please please don’t ignore Dejavú and Caught somewhere in time from the album Somewhere in time. 22 Acacia Avenue and Gangland from Number of the Beast Album. And also, Bruce Dickinson is the the voice that people know maiden for but there is a hidden gem called Paul DiAnno , who was the frontman before Bruce and he is raw power, in which the band over all had a different sound too. Any song from the album Killers is an aggressive powerhouse of metal with some punk elements to it and it must not be ignored.
Thank you for being and doing what you do. 🤘🏽♥︎
Ps. Every song is a Steve Harris bass solo. I’m happy to see you nerd out about it.
Powerslave is also awesome from this concert, it’s a heavy track.
Also If you want to hear a bit of funk with crowd interaction listen to - Running free, also from this concert.
The BEST live versión ever of this song!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great song based off a great poem. And of course you can't go wrong with Bruce's voice :-)
Your Maiden reactions are do fkin amazing !!!
Really can't wait for the next..
And yes, they are back touring this year 🤘
Eventually you should check "The Red And The Black" from them (Live version, Japan, 2017), to see how they're still making (and performing) absolutely incredible music even to this day.
One of their amazing songs they have so many of them. A song of theirs that doesn't get enough love is "stranger in a strange land"
prime iron maiden. their best era. nicko mcbrain is my favorite drummer. he plays only with one bass drum and one bass drum pedal. no double bass. he does a ton of very subtle stuff on the drums that only a drum fanatic will pick up. especially his ride cymbal playing.
I'm loving your descent into Maiden. You're in for such a treat. I can definitely recommend some of their more slow and melodic stuff like Dance of Death, The Talisman, Infinite Dreams, Empire of the Clouds,...
Thank you for discovering my favorite Metal band. I've subscribed.
Went to see Maiden live for the first time just last week. They were absolutely brilliant!! It’s the music, the animatronics, Bruce, Bruce with a flame thrower, pyro, it’s just a whole show!! Legends!!
Bruce Dickinson is on the short list for greatest metal singers along with Dio, Halford, Tate, Meine. In my opinion.
Pretty much my list too
Saw them for the 10th time in Belfast last week. Still brilliant live.
This is one of my 10 songs to take on a deserted island.
Great reaction.
You should do a reaction to "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" studio version. It's a gem.
I've been to 5 Maiden shows and numerous others. No one beats their show. Not only for the teatrics, the sound, and all. What caught my ear with Maiden back in the early 80s was the bass. To me, Steve Harris is the best metal bassist there is. This song is by far my favorite Maiden song.
One of my all time favorite songs right here.
I actually wrote a paper in college about how their song is a valid version of the poem, seeing as how STC had 18 documented versions of said poem.
As a 53 year old metal head that grew up listening to and attending Maiden concerts it give me goosebumps to see a younger generation get exposed to this genre. Takes me right down memory lane
Thanks. You're the first reaction to thos video that actually gave credit to the bass. Steve Harris is one of the best of all time.
The true gods of metal! I remember seeing these guys play in the Ruskin arms (in East Ham back in the late 70s early 80s) Paul di`anno was the front man back then when i was around 14! THEY ARE STILL GOING TODAY STRONG!
My favorite metal band of all time!!!! This was filmed in the mid 80's, (84/85?)... I had the pleasure to see them twice in this decade. Bruce is the man, that's for sure!!!!!! If I had a time machine, I'd go back for sure just to witness this greatness all over again..... Keep rocking Aileen... Love all your videos!!!!
Long beach IN 85 Yes
4 sold out shows . Thursday through Sunday. Long Beach CA
This band is amazing with the energy level. Reminds me of Pantera’s energy live. Can’t wait for more Pantera on the channel
Fuck Pantera and their racism
you were about to cry! This is the greatest song for me. Brings me pleasure to see a young person such as yourself appreciate Iron Maiden.
Bruce is an excellent stage performer: he embodies the songs. OMG am I a fanboy huh?
I could listen to Bruce talk about anything. He should have his own audio books
Thank you so much for giving long songs a chance. A single long song has so, so much to offer, even when they are only instrumental. Plus they are great to concentrate.
Wow you are beautiful and thank you for letting the song breathe before reacting. I get the copy right shit but you're doing it well. Very nice to see!
Actually saw them when they were on this tour in 1983. I was 19 at the time and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. Upper mezzanine dead center of the stage. IT WAS SO LOUD! Loved every second of it. You couldn’t even hear the person right next to you even if they were yelling. The sound and light show was phenomenal and I was so happy they put this concert out on dvd so I can relive it over and over. If you like Maiden you should definitely check out the grand daddy’s of metal, Judas Priest. You think Bruce has an interesting voice, wait until you hear Rob Halford wail. Great channel, subscribed, and it’s so fun to watch young people find and enjoy the metal I grew up with. God speed on your journey!
It al started with Iron Maiden for me! ❤️🤘🏻
For an amazing bass solo, check out Orion by Metallica. It’s an instrumental with an epic bass solo in the second half of the song.
Watching videos of iron Maiden live always brings tears to my eyes. You must understand that there is no other band loved by the fans as much as Iron Maiden and they have the most fans of any band in history. Also, there is no other band who respects their fans more than Iron Maiden. You can feel the connection between the musicians and audience in each of their shows. It is very emotional.
Simply put, thank you for doing Iron Maiden reactions. Keep them coming.🎸🥁🙏🏼
I always loved playing with an aggressive bass player.....and an aggressive drummer.
Cancer: "I´m gonna take your voice away"
Bruce: "Hold my beer, bitch"
Maiden is that one band you have to see live in your life time, stage presence and stage set-up is an unforgettable experience.
Iron Maiden is still one of the best live acts ever.
Fuck yea BASS SOLO!! Bass player Steve Harris wrote this song, as he has many of Maiden's tunes. He is the heart of the band.
I was fortunate to see this tour back in the day, once at the Oakland Coliseum and once at the Sacramento Fourth of July show several months later. It seemed to Maiden was on tour forever for the powerslave album. Almost a year-and-a-half I think. An interesting side note here is that this show was taped very close to the end of the tour and it is remarkable how much voice Bruce still has at this point given the rigors of the worldwide Escapade they had launched based on this record.
I have seen them 3 times best band to see live ever. Steve has so much talent writing all the songs he has over the years.
I think the feat that makes you really enjoy Steve's immense bass skill is the volume. Not only the bass is overlooked because of pinches vs bass notes, but it's also often at a lower volume than other instruments (expecially guitars) or at least that's what I perceive. Steve's bass is super loud and that's why I can appreciate his flaming skills so much.
Good music captures you..Great music captures your soul.... And never lets go.
Maiden did an insane amount of touring in the 80s and still performed with this energy.
this song has amazing lyrics! My favorite song of theirs! Song is like a rollercoaster! You should read the poem, it's amazing too!
One time I saw them in Philly for Somewhere in time. Almost passed out. All the chairs were smushed up front. A crush to the stge. We pushed everyone back because a kid fainted next to us,. Great show.
You must see them live. I've seen them 5 times and met Steve Harris (bassist) once. They still have this level of energy. This is my favorite song, and hope they do it live again.
Lead singer, Bruce Dickenson, was an Olympic class fencer. That's probably where he gets his stamina and energy from. Plus, this was from the mid '80's, around '84 or '85, so he was a lot younger then.
Just a little fact: Bruce Dickinson is opera trained. It blew my mind when I found out. That's why he is so on point. Thought you would like to know. Another great reaction. I grew up with stuff because of my dad, so I love watching and getting the feeling of it for the first time again.
Where did you hear or read that as it's not true at all? Bruce enjoyed performing in a lot of theatre plays during his educational years (it's in his autobiography) as drama was his favourite subject. This is why he acts out his lyrics or sometimes even dresses in costume when performing certain Iron Maiden songs. Bruce was never opera trained. The whole vibe Maiden has live is that it is like watching 'metal theatre' where the whole band tells a story through its sound and lyrics, highlighted by Bruces vocal delivery style. This has increased significantly since Maiden became more progressive.
It wouldn’t surprise me , Bruce is such over achiever 😆
I am a huge Maiden fan!! I recently discovered you doing these "metal reacts" and I just had to say that Iron Maiden is a top 3 for me, and you're reacts are neat :), I love that this is the genre you've chosen to react to. Way to go!! Bruce's singing is epic along with the music behind the vocals and the stories he tells in each track. Obviously paying attention to the music is easy, it's front and center. I suggest listening to the stories starting with this one... Rime Of The Ancient Mariner... it will draw you in closer to the music. I love it!!!
(keep up the good work!!!)
Iron Maiden is about to tour the US again on their Legacy of the Beast/Senjutsu tour. You should definitely try to go to the nearest show and do a video diary for your channel. Alot of classics on this tour. Keep up the good content!
If you're just getting into Iron Maiden....Don't be shocked when you see Bruce in the newer videos. He has short hair now. He got his pilot's license and flew for British Airways. He flew Iron Maidens 747 Ed Force One for the band,crew and equipment for over a decade. Bruce still fly's for British Airways as a second job. I first saw Iron Maiden live in Germany in the mid 80's at one of Germany's iconic MONSTER'S OF METAL concert's.
YES! RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER! AMAZING SONG! Gonna give this video an thumbs up even before i watched it! :D But since i liked your previous maiden reactions, i think it´s quite a safe bet that i will like this one as well! :D
Rime is my been my Favorite Maiden song since 1984.. And still is to this day.
It's true that they're touring, now in Europe, and I'm gonna see them on july in Barcelona and I'm so excited. I can tell these past days I've only been listening their albums and I'm obsessed. Definitely they are one of the best bands ever, and Bruce's voice is my favourite metal voice.
Up the irons!! 🤘🏻
Little interesting side note about Bruce Dickinson, he’s a pilot/singer/fencer/soccer player, he even beat throat cancer and is STILL singing in Iron Maiden and performing to this day.
The man is just…..he should have been Knighted by the Queen (God rest her soul, my condolences Great Britain), I mean no Blasphemy but Bruce isn’t just a Legend he’s a Metal God. Even Metallica says that they were heavily influenced by Iron Maiden, which in turn means Megadeth was as well, since Dave Mustane was a member of Metallica in their beginning.
Really need to see their music video for “Wasted Years”, awesome message, awesome song, and some “behind the scenes/off stage glimpses into their lives, it’s very cool.
I remember when I was in college I took British Literature and we had to read the poem Rime of the Ancient Mariner. When we finished we had to give a presentation and for my aid I played this song. My teacher was blown away by this song. Was freaking awesome getting to rock out to Iron Maiden at school .
Most of these songs were written by Steve Harris the bassist. Reason why he sings along. The story telling is why I loves this band. UP THE IRONS! As the bands motto goes
Ok you got me, with your Iron Maiden reactions. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed!
I saw them live in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Still bringing all the energy, and the sets have only gotten more elaborate and bigger. They have a life-size Spitfire pitching and rolling above them for "Aces High" to close out the current tour.
Bruces’s voice is amazing and this is a great video. Steve Harris bass work is absolutely amazing. Another great video is Hallowed be thy Name!
such a great reaction for one of the greatest songs ever done. ı suggest you The Talisman, Dance of the dead, Hell on earth or any maiden song will do it
The two lead guitarists went to school together so have known each other for a long time!! Which is why in my opinion makes them tight as a drum when playing together.
So glad you did this song. I remember the first time I heard this song listening to the Powerslave cassette on my boombox in my bedroom. I thought holy heck this is amazing, and I learned a very cool story too. The studio version of this song is TOTALLY worth listening to as well.
On that tour that you are watching I think they played like 200 shows in a year... they are definitely the hardest working band in the business... they always give it their all... and in a later tour... since Bruce is also a pilot... he actually flew the tour plane around the world... it's just insane!!!!
