One of my most favorite songs of all time from maiden. I used to be a runner. I played this on repeat while running. I havent found a song yet that keeps you pushing like this one. No lie. Notice you can hear a cadence with the drums. With every step taken. It's in Paula Radcliffes playlist lol. Shes considered the fastest female marathoner. I'm so glad you did this. It's a special song to me. Partly why Maiden is so special to me. The sheer intelligence and genius of them is astounding.

There’s no band like Maiden!! They are unique!!! Music , lyrics , epic they are so great no words to express its greatness!!! Up the Irons!!!!

steve harris is the leader of the band. he writes a lot of their songs and he helps mix and arrange them as well. plus he is an incredible bass player. their concerts are amazing too.

This song is basically riff, after riff, after riff, after riff. I love this one. Plus, it's always on my playlist when I go jogging.

Harris writes most everything. The rest of the band also contribute. Listening to Iron Maiden is almost a religious experience. You are listening to greatness

Somewhere In time is maidens finest effort... it's in my CD player in my car and it rarely comes out...

Since you're doing that specific album a must play is Wasted Years

Kel is so friggin fine and very very classy. You are one lucky Man. Damn!!!

I like how you talk about Maiden having a distinct sound after the song. I do some DJing from time to time and I love music across all genres, but Maiden was, is, and always will be my favorite for one reason. Given enough exposure to their songs, Iron Maiden is the only band I've come across that I can distinctly pick out one aspect of the band and follow it in the song. I can put on a song and just pick out Steve Harris strumming the bass, or Nico McBrain bring his drumming from the background to the foreground seamlessly. I'm not musically trained, but that, to me, is a gift. I've said it twice, so hoping third time's a charm. It would be really great to see you guys react to the Seventh Son album in the song order, since the songs, although great on their own are linked. I've watched most reactors, and I don't remember anyone ever doing that. P.S. My first Maiden Concert was in the Sunrice Theater in Ft Lauderdale, so it'll be cool to know that you'll be in my old stomping grounds, kinda like completing the circle.

You guys really need to react to Maiden's live videos to really see just how good they are, they put younger bands to shame because of how they are live.

Remember listening this track first on the LP of my brother around 30yrs ago ... I was just blown away. And still. Masterpiece & great reaction as always :))

The instrumental....iron maiden parts..are the most beautiful and perfect.....masterpiece....incredible sound......wonderful guitars...I love your react...

This album Somewhere in time and Seventh son of a seventh son are my rainy day albums!

Somewhere In Time. My personal favorite Maiden album and I love every song it contains. Looking forward to when you guys listen to 'Caught'.

Seventh son of a Seventh son Infinite Dreams Or any other song of "Seventh son of a Seventh son" album

Maiden is the only metal band you listen to that makes you smarter.

Steve Harris is the main composer .All the other members also contribute to the writing but he is the driving force . Most of the their songs are influenced from books,movies(like this one) and poems like the Rime of the ancient mariner. Another great movie based song is To Tame a land based on the Dune movie from the 80's but because of copyright issues they couldnt name the song Dune.

These songs needs to go on the list. Sabaton - The lion from the north Judas Priest - Painkiller Nightwish - Storytime (Wacken 2013) Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys Manowar - Black wind, fire and Steel Really enjoy your reactions. Keep on keeping on.

Greatest Maiden-Song EVEEEEEER !!!!

This album hasn't bad songs, my favorite is Deja Vu, but any one is good. I knew Maiden with this album and since then, they always has been my favorite band.

Love you two the best reactions well done COYI 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You two are a breath of fresh air!

There will never be another Iron Maiden , never !

I listened this song in the end of 80's with my walkman and now i'm listening it in my car. I'm 45. Probably in my best top 3 IM songs.

Remember seeing this live in 86, 5 gigs at Hammersmith in a week...the only tour it was played live...awesome!,

The best song, from the best metal band in the world, on their best album. What more do you want ♥

You guys are awesome! Kel, I love watching your face on these, because you have the exact expressions that I assume must be on my face. I feel it with you! Keep it up!!

Single drum pedal, nicko is drum genius, respect guys, just continue to dig into Maiden, you should listen if not react to, if internety should fail, book of souls and the legacy, songs.... Love and peace ✌ from Serbia 😊

I sit here watching your reactions to this and Kel., you are the mirror image of my first reaction to this song! I used to listen to this album whilst doing my paper round in the UK, it was the exact length of my round! Love you guys sooooo much!!!

Best running song of all time!

И какие же на этом альбоме соло волшебные! Хотя у iron maiden все соло чудесны)

All this album is a MASTERPIECE! Deja vu, Sea of Madness, Heaven can Wait, Stranger in a Strange land (based on a true story), Wasted Years will be next songs! :) Thank you for your good reactions! Up the Irons! Peace and love from Italy!

Nicko's drumming on this song is top notch

It's from the best album they ever created. No bad song on it

Bruce Dickinson is a motivation preacher too, writer, historian, pilot ... Check it out his biography. Worth it!

Yes! I got the 666th thumbs up! You are such a nice couple, i love to watch your reactions! This song is breathtaking, absolute fantastic! The first time i heared it my tears runned... Greetings and a big hub from germany!

Number of the Beast is a must to listen too, First Maiden song I ever heard when I was 15 and hooked me for life. I'm now 52 and still adicted lol

Keep up good work. Your vids are so much fun cause im metal fan too 👍

Heaven Can Wait from same album or Deja-Vu... 🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤘🤘🤟🤘🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤟

When there was no metal on the radio, us long timers, used to find ways. Here in Connecticut we had WNHU metal night .... Friday nights for 2 hours. One night Phantom of the Opera from Maiden’s first album came on & luckily I was recording it on my little cassette player. It was at that exact moment that my whole life changed. I listened to it over & over then took it to band practice the next day. Made my band mates instant fans. That next day I ran down to my local record store to purchase iron maiden‘s first album. They didn’t have it yet but the owner of the store had what was the first release in the States. The iconic “Drifter” EP. So I bought it. It had 3 or 4 songs on it. I was hooked. Then the first album came out a couple of weeks later. I always claim to be IM’s American original fan because of this. Welcome aboard !!

guys hello from Turkey.. I like your energy and will to move on so much and I wish me and my wife ( she is also a fan ) would be like you in abt 10 yrs. pls continue to be awesome :)

Amazing! Out of the silent planet .. Iron Maiden...please!

You should consider watching to some of their live performances as its a great band to watch on stage. (Rock in Rio 2001) Fear of the Dark, The Clansman, Sign of the cross or (En Vivo) When the wild wind blows, Dance of Death, (live chapter) if eternity should fail, book of souls would be good options for a bigger, complex songs. 80`s era songs are one of most popular but check also some latest work.

To me this is the best Iron Maiden Album.. Excelent!

Infinite Dreams off Seventh Son album plz

Great reaction to a great song!

Nice react, thanks.

Another emotional Maiden song would be 'When the Wild Winds Blow' from The Final Frontier album. The live (En Vivo!) version is fantastic.

Bombastic Best!!!

What a trip man!

I feel like this song is really underrated even though it is absolutely amazing

Одна из лучших их песен!!

One of the very few metal albums that can both wake you up and put you to sleep.....a classic!!!

I'm about 95% sure that this song was based on the award winning flick "Chariots of Fire".

I always like your Maiden reaction's. Great.

Love your videos guys! Since Kel is more of the classical virtuoso, it would be interesting to see her reaction, as well as yours good sir, to some neo classical guitar-yngwie malmsteen Far beyond the sun!!!

Love this song!!!

Great job guys! Maiden is the best band on the planet, fan since 1980

I love Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, Black Sabbath but there is something about Iron Maiden that makes them better than all of the other bands. I can't quite put my finger on it but ever since I bought my first Iron Maiden album in the mid 80's I was hooked. My first show was the Powerslave tour. I can hum or whistle every single Iron Maiden solo. They're that memorable and melodious. Most songs are written by Steven Harris and Bruce Dickinson. On of their best and often overlooked songs is To Tame A Land. It is based on the Dune book series by Frank Herbert. Herbert was not a fan of metal an did not allow them to title the song Dune. One of the best songs Bruce Dickinson is on their latest album and is called Empire of the Clouds. It lasts over 18 minutes and starts on piano (played by Dickinson). It is different from all of their other songs but still is Iron Maiden.

Miss you Rich.

love this song! This album is one of their best and I saw the tour in 1897. Mercyful Fate? Kel needs to hear some King Diamond!!!!!

Here is a couple more from MAIDEN. The Longest Day and When The Wild Wind Blows.

Great song,... 👍

Stranger in a Strange Land, Heaven can Wait.

Try the trooper for kel and try aces high, wrathchild, children of the damned, powerslave, flash of the blade, strange world, remember tomorrow, the number of the beast, deja vu, the clairvoyant and basically 90 percent of the first 5 albums.

An anthem of a song which lyrics I've never taken literally, even though they may be. To me the "runner" is each one of us running the hardest race of our lives : our own LIFE. The decisions we make and the ups and downs are sometimes surrounded by loneliness, we carve and create our own path

Listen to that song 2 more times and you'll find yourself listening to it 50 more times in the next 30 days

Iron Maiden "Sign Of The Cross" for the win. :D

Another awesome songs from Iron Maiden The Number Of The Beast Wasted Years Powerslave Stranger in a strange land Aces High The Trooper 2 minutes to midnight

Best band ever.

No one can do change ups like Maiden they can turn on a dime The Tempo UP THE IRONS🤘 great reaction guys

Iron Maiden The Talisman live or studio both great, The Longest Day or For The Greater Good God

Here is a couple of suggestions;) - Remember Tomorrow - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (maiden england) - Sea of Madness - To Tame a Land - Phantom of the Opera - 22 Acacia Acenue (Hammersmith 82) - The Nomad - Blood Brothers

Been watching your reactions for about 4 days now awesome stuff ( I remember the first time I saw MAIDEN it was about 98 or 99 because Brave New World came out a year-and-a-half after. I think it was like a three to four-day ad on the radio the show would be held at El Paso County Coliseum did not have the money for the show at the time so I said f*** it bought some beer was going to listen from the parking lot.... LoL. so when I got there I noticed an unusual amount of people or hanging around the Colosseum walking and standing so I went to go see what it was about and all to behold the barn "(looks like a huge Barn made of bricks)" doors were wide open people walking in and out there was so many people there they had to open up the rear doors and no one was checking tickets at that time and I was like NO Way Awesome!) so I just walked right in and saw the show. Have yet to get a reaction show request yet maybe you guys might be able to but I would like to request (Stranger in a Strange Land by Iron Maiden) if it ain't too much to ask thank you very much guys I enjoy your reactions. \m/\m/

You two should definitely listen to some “Type O Negative” & the lead singers voice which is Peter Steele who is roughly 6’7 ~ 6’8 when he was alive sadly. His voice was a very extremely low baritone type of voice & very soothing. I suggest a few songs such as “Black #1” ~ “Christian Woman” ~ “Wolf Moon” - “Love You To Death” ~ “Can’t stand losing you” ~ “My girl friends girl friend” Etc

Infinite Dreams!! My favorite Maiden song lml

Thanks for your reactions! All of your reactions means a reaction to me because I'm also reacting to your emotions when you hear the songs with an open mind and feel the good music, You know to value of all the work that means a music album with well worked lyrics, melodies, guitar solos, the skill of the musicians…Thanks! I have to tell you that If you really want to live a Maiden experience at home, with the phones in your heads…There are 2 albums of them that you need to hear in its entirity: The first one is the 1985 Live album called 'Live After Death' recorded at Long Beach, California and London. It's a Live double that is considered into the best 10 Live Albums ever of Rock, not just Metal…It's a must have to hear because it's a live Maiden concert experience at home. The Second album you must to hear of them from the begining to the end is from 1988 and its called 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son'. It's a concept album and all the songs are conected in some way though you can hear them separately too. It's another Maiden experience that will blow your minds, really. Out of Maiden I'd like to recommend another full album called 'Brave' from 1994 by a uk band called Marillion. It's a concept album that I think you must have to hear. Good music by good musicians. It's not metal. It's a prog-rock band with a unique style. This album is considered one of the best into the progresive rock music. It was named 4th Best Progresive rock album ever by Prog Rock Magazine. Please be still enjoying the music. Thanks again Cheers!

Glad you are still enjoying your Maiden voyage lol. Am pleasantly surprised you are already familiar with Mercyful Fate.. and of course Black Sabbath. Let's keep this ball rolling! ;) Peace

Infinate dreams is about Bruce's experience with hypnogogic dreams in his youth. I remember reading that in an interview years ago.

Singer Bruce Dickinson has a Degree in History

Hello guys!!! I’m new here and really enjoying your reactions. Super cool!! As a hardcore Maiden fan I’m glad you guys are diving into the wonderful Maiden World. Many of the songs were written based in History, books, poems etc. So, to help you to go thru this journey, I decided to list some references that Maiden used to write those songs. Hope you like it. Cheers from Brazil. 1 - The Trooper - Alfred Tennyson's poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" 2 - Murders in the Rue Morgue - Short history written by Edgar Allan Poe 3 - Rime of the Ancient Mariner - based on Samuel T Coleridge's poem 4 - To Tame a Land - based on the movie Dune 5 - Sign of the Cross - based on the movie The Name of the Rose 6 - The Clansman - based on the stories of William Wallace (Braveheart) 7 - Quest for Fire - based on the movie with same name 8 - The Pilgrim - based on the journey of european immigrants to America at the Mayflower ship 9 - The Phantom of the Opera - based on book of same name written by Gaston Leroux 10 - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner - based on the book of same name written by Alan Sillitoe 11 - Moonchild - based on the book of same name written by Aleister Crowley 12 - The Evil That Men Do - based on Julio Cesar's Shakespeare 13 - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - based on the book pf same name written by Orson S Card 14 - Run Silent Run Deep - based on the book of same name written by Edward L Beach Jr 15 - Lord of the Flies - based on the book of same name written by William Golding 16 - Man on the Edge - based on the book called Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad 17 - Brave New World - based on the book of same name written by Aldous Huxley 18 - Out of the Silent Planet - based on the book of same name written by C S Lewis There are lots of songs based on excerpts from Holy Bible such as The Number of The Beast, Revelations, Holy Smoke, Lord of Light, Prodigal Son, Hallowed be thy Name, For the Greater Good of God etc...

Hadn't heard this one before. Thanks guys. You may want to rename the video though :)

somehow I also never listened to IM when younger (grew up as a child in 80s, teen in early to mid 90s). I latched on to Metallica through friends and they became the center of my music, along with other hard rock, hip hop and some pop. Somehow I never listened to Iron Maiden, only being familiar with their imagery from the album covers etc. I also was vaguely aware of the 'devil worship' and subliminal message nonsense. Fast forward to 2008 when I was 28 years old and a buddy invited me a concert.I was like yeah why not. Went in expecting nothing, with a false impression it would be screaming death metal (which I'm NOT a fan of)....Well they were 180 degrees different than I expected.... I became a fan that very night from their showmanship, despite not knowing the setlist at all. The few tracks I left remembering were wasted years, run to the hills, fear of the dark and The Trooper because of Bruce's stage antics. Kind of the more maintsream crowd pleasers. I played those and a few others for a few years after, maybe revisiting occasionally and then kind of forgot them for awhile. Well my same buddy invited me to their show again this summer and I'm going, so I just got back into them by playing the setlist which I loved so much its now expanded to everything.... I'm ALL IN. Their catalog is mindblowingly good. I am catching up on 35 years of stuff now just as you are, so its kind of fun to watch these videos from your specific channel.

Somewhere in Time, 1986 baby! Went to their concert in Stockholm, Sweden that year, with WASP opening up. Talking about WASP, you should do a song! Wild Child or Widowmaker!

I am glad that you "get" Maiden

You know, I've been listening to these songs for over 30 years, thousands of times. Every once in a while I step away from them so I don't get burnt out by them. Watching you guys listening to these songs and your reactions just put a smile on my ole' jaded face. First off, you guys are becoming prolific as hell. In the short amount of time you've made possibly more reaction videos than others that have been doing it for months now. And you're not just sticking to the hits/classics. Loneliness is an obscure song; some call it filler but I wouldn't. That's just too harsh a characterization for this song. So horns up to you for reacting to the obscure material that wouldn't even get played live. Keep doing what you're doing. There's plenty of Metal to react to. Just as an aside, may I suggest you check out Symphony X. They're a Prog Metal band outta Jersey and are akin to Dream Theater. I suggest doing the first to tracks off of Paradise Lost; Oculus Ex Inferni and Set the World on Fire together. Oculus is an instrument that acts like an intro for the next track and both should be listened together. Cheers and raise your horns in praise of Metal \m/

You guys look very nice , Love your channel . # Metal Church / Valley off the Dolls.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo 🍺

I get that Third Eye buzz all over my head when I listen to Somewhere in Time now. I didn’t like it as much when it was released since it wasn’t Number of The Beast, Piece Of Mind or Powerslave which were the first Iron Maiden albums I heard as a little kid. I actually heard Flight Of Icarus on MTV but I was a bit too young for Maiden at the time. Kiss, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot and Def Leppard were all I was listening to until Middle School.

listen to iron maiden : The clansman ( album version has Blaze Bailey on vocals, Rock in Rio live album has Bruce Dickinson on vocals

i bet they made that song when people told them their music is great for running, lol. Cause it really is and ive heard several people say its real "runners music"

Great reaction! Great song! Please consider: "To Tame A Land", "Revelations", or "Where Eagles Dare".

Yeah you get it :)

Yeeeah 😀😀 Great 😁😁

The song is off the album Somewhere In Time. Most all the songs on the record involved themes of time and space

Steve Harris IS IRON MAIDEN!!!! He's The Mastermind behind everything.... he had the vision, drive, skills, and dedication to make Iron Maiden what it is!!!! It is his baby!!!! Even if Steve doesn't write something he still puts his stamp of approval on it and his touch put on it to make it "Maiden" so to speak.... IRON MAIDEN ARE OUT OF THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE GOOD!!!! I will be seeing them Live for my second time August 26th at the Xcel Energy Center in my home state of Minnesota!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! The Book Of Souls World Tour was amazing but The Legacy Of The Beast Tour is just going to be SO DAMN GOOD!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!! \m/ \m/

you need to go to see Iron maiden in concert ! \m /

I can't wait to watch you react to Hallowed be thy Name

This song is funny in some way, when I heard it first time, I didn't like it, then after few years I started to really enjoy it on somewhere in time's album, then... I fell in love with this song. This short solo is just amazing, like flying jet that was about to fall and he raised just few metters above the ground.

"The duellists", suggestion from Powerslave alvum.... Kisses
