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.

I’ve seen Maiden live 6 times and I still can’t move my neck right! 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.

Now she needs to see '82 live.

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!

Guys, The most perfect reaction channel on KZfaq...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 saw them live in 1982 when they opened for Judas Priest....absolutely awesome!!!

The 1982 version of children of the dammed is a great example of how operatic Bruce can sound.

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!

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.

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

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!

This is my all time favorite song from Iron Maiden.

Can't believe they haven't been in the HOF for years! One of the best bands ever!

I love seeing the joy on Burch's face when they play classic metal songs. I can't help but smile throughout the video 😀🤘

Remember sitting by the stereo reading the lyrics off the actual record sleeve? Damn I'm getting old...🤣

RIP Clive Burr 🤘❤️

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.

Alexis is a deep thinker, the perfect complement to Burch's breadth of knowledge.

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.

Best band in the world

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. 🤘🤘

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.

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 .

You should do Wasted Years I think Alexis would like those lyrics too. Plus that's one of my favorite Maiden songs.

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 ❤

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

One of the best performances of Bruce "air-raid siren" Dickinson. Up the Irons and cheers from Brazil.

Don’t even know how I ended on your channel, but enjoying it alot... Iron Maiden is my youth !

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 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤

I'm so glad I found your channel excellent reactions.

Alexa that description was spot on hun glad u actually got it

Out of the silent planet. Three layers of guitars is just amazing.

I watch a Lot of reaction videos but so far the way you guys do it is awesome

This young woman is lucky, she has additional quality education, much needed for millennials... greetings from Argentina

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

That one live version (somebody at comments knows obviously) of this song is the best performance Iron Maiden has ever done.

Thanks for the blast from the past, I graduated in 82, memories of cruising with this jamming in my car. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😛😛😛😛😛😛😛

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.

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 !

Legendary song. Nice reaction!

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!!!"

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

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.

One of the best reaction channels

I loved the grin while you were waiting for the reaction to the length of the sustained notes.

Love Maiden and This Song It's a Classic The 1982 Live Performance Is One The Best Live Maiden Performances.

I saw them last year and they are awesome.

the singer's diction is perfect! and the Album art is some of the best ever produced!

The older I get the more I love "Alexander the great". A great history lesson with great music, its just great.

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!!!

I'm glad She catch up epic drumming, one of the greats my fav Clive Burr RIP😢

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.

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.

"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

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

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.

Great reaction, guys! My favorite on this fantastic vinyl (hahaha) is "Where Eagles Dare", as well as this one. But hey, the whole album is great!

What a great reaction, guys. Love Bruce the beast and Maiden ! xx

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.

Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner! UP THE IRONS!

some great British bands from the 70s and 80s, what a time to be alive

Saw them live in Lakeland FL ‘82 or ‘83. Quiet Riot opened. Crazy good concert!!

"Don't pause the guitar solo...." "I know! Let's talk over it!"

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

I liked the "2 minutes and 30 seconds of instruments?" 😆 I can just imagine the reaction to Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Great tune,great reactions!!!

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.🤘

This is parenting done right people, love from Argentina, Up the Irons!

'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! 🤘💙

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.

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.

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

Great review, Up the Irons!!

Number Of The Beast was my road trip soundtrack in 1995. Such a great album, I never skipped a song while listening.

First time watcher. New subscriber.

Another great song is The Rime of the Ancient Mariner .. great work guys

love this reaction channel.

Unleash the archers has a song called awaking that has a iron maiden-ish sound. Brittany Slayers has an amazing voice

I saw them in ‘80,’82 and ‘84 they totally kicked ass.

after 40 years, it is still my nr.1 Maiden song

I will see them live at Sweden Rock Festival in June, I just can’t wait!

Clive Burr Is On The Drums On This Whole Album Sadly No Longer With Us 😢 Nicko McBrain Is The Current Drummer For Maiden.

Showing your daughter the classics that’s good parenting.. I show my daughter the same.. teaching her awesome music of that era

Iron Maiden play this Year at the Wacken Open Air in Germany and this Song is Part of all Liveset ( 41 years )

Loved the post with you an Pat Traver. Up the irons.

Excellent video!

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.

Thank you for this REACTION THE BEST METAL BAND IN THE UNIVERSE

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.

I can play this hole song including solos on guitar and it is one of the best feelings out of evry metal song iv ever played amazing song

Seen the Beast tour at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. They played with the Scorpions on their Blackout tour. Absolutely Amazing.
