The smiles on your faces say it all....

maiden songs? Fear of the dark, number of the beast, run to the hills, Powerslave, The evil that men do, 2 minutes to midnight, Afraid to shoot strangers and Aces high jumps to mind immediately. So many years, so many albums... hard to pick a favorite

Also, rest in peace Clive Burr, your contribution to this amazing band lives on. Thank you 🤘

Fear Of The Dark, Ancient Mariner, Sign Of The Cross, The Trooper, The Clansman, Children Of The Damned, Afraid To Shoot Strangers. Always live with Iron Maiden as with Nightwish.

I've seen Iron Maiden live MANY times...its my boyfriends favorite band of all time. This band is phenomenal live!!!Bruce's voice is unbelievable and the band completely rocks out!!😃love your new view on metal & your open mindedness.great reaction!!!😄

The automated subtitles are hilarious ;-) ("I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime" becomes "I'm waiting in my old sound when the all begins to shine")

The look of pure joy on your faces is priceless!

You two are amazing. Love being part of your journey.

As other's have said, Fear of the Dark is a great one, as are Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Number of the Beast. Great music all around. If you want more of a deep cut, check out Run to the Hills.

Congratulations on discovering the majesty of Iron Maiden! I've been listening to them for nearly 40 years and they are still my favourite band. Their music is quintessentially metal but I have met Goths, Punks, Rockers, Shoegazers and even Rappers who love their work. You can't beat good song writing irrespective of genre.

Helloo , I will recommend "Fear of the Dark" some live version probably from Santiago de Chile is the best. Just for a little info I am so proud that i saw them life in 1995 and this year both concerts in Bucharest.

Great reaction. There is a message in Heavy Metal. It's been overlooked for decades. Great writing !

One of the best reaction videos ever, loved it. Thank you!

Great song, great reaction. For more melody, harmonies and good vocals i would recommend Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys.

This band still tours. Saw them in the 80's. And saw them 2 years ago. They haven't lost a step. Find their tour schedule. Go see them.

Maiden released a new album last year and are currently touring, so still going strong - concerts have generations of fans, so plenty of people walking around young and old with Maiden gear. 😉

This is the most popular song! When I listen to Maiden so does my neighbourhood!!!

I´m 52yrs now and I remember like yesterday the first time when I heard Iron Maiden. It was winter 1981 and their second album Killers. Amazing band! And yet another band with one mastermind like Nightwish, this time it´s bassist Steve Harris (and Steve likes Nightwish very much!). Here you can see amazing drummer Clive Burr in action. Great stuff. Great reaction, thanks a lot!

Rhyme of the ancient mariner I have seen Maiden live 27 times across 4 countries

One exception on the live songs. My favourite song, Alexander the Great, as far as I know is and never will be played live. The official video and song are more then worth it to react to (use with lyrics!)

This is probably the most popular Iron Maiden song. The next is probably Fear of the Dark, needs to be played live (Do live at Rio) Maiden didn't get much radio play, they got popular from their great music and their extensive touring. I've been listening to Iron Maiden since 1982, at the age of 15. To give you a complete list of Iron Maiden recommendations, see my list below.

I saw them on this tour. Iron maiden my second favorite band . Next to the best band of all time. You might of heard of them, Black Sabbath. Godfathers of metal hallowed be thy name y favorite Maiden song ever ever. Masterpiece.

The first concert I ever went to was Iron Maiden. It was 1983 on their Piece of Mind tour. I was 15 years old.

Love your reaction and your personal interaction. Lot of love in the house, God bless❤️

Nice to SEE how enjoy de song You have to go to a Iron Maiden concert Will be amazing be there! 🤟🏼💯😉😉

This song is next level stuff. Bruce is one of the greatest Rock singers ever. Here is exhibit A. Cheers!

Great reaction! A few more song suggestions (all live): Rime of the Ancient Mariner The Clansman Seventh son of a seventh son Dream of Mirrors The Evil that men do Aces high

they close out the show out with this song most of the time....and still the energy level is crazy!!!

Dance of death!!!!!one of their best

I've been following you lovely people on your Nightwish journey and very happy you've found Iron Maiden too. They are fellow Londoners and I saw them on this particular tour. Other popular songs - 'Run to the Hills' , 'The Trooper', '2 minutes to Midnight' , 'Aces High' and many more! Bruce Dickinson is a great guy and superb singer admired world wide. He is a qualified pilot and has flown the big Boeing Iron Maiden plane from Country to Country on world tours! Keep up the good work. 😃 🙂

My favorite song by Iron Maiden. You’ll love them. They’re amazing ❤️

They are the masters of heavy metal.

I love Iron since I was 15 (i'm 53 now) and for the first time in my life I saw them a few days ago, here in Portugal, and it was the show of my life. After seing Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, I only want to see Nightwish so I can die in peace. Great reviews as always.

THE BEST BAND OF THE HISTORY

Finally had time to search for this reaction. I was not disappointed. Excellent reaction as always. Love your channel!

Running Free, Powerslave, Wratchchild, Wasted Years, Aces High, Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Run to the Hills. There’s way too many songs and they are all amazing. Maiden is such a great live band. I’ve seen them many times and it’s been epic each time 🤘🏻🤘🏻

The world needs Maiden 🤘😜🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Welcome to the fandom of Iron Maiden... 40 years for me

U two are great toghether...... luv ur vibe

One of the best tunes ever..

I loved you guys faces when the music kicked in😳😳😁😁 🤣🤣 Iron Maiden Are Legendary !🤘🏻

´The trooper' Is definitely a song to check out, it has all the trademark elements of their style.

Queensryche “take hold of the flame” Japan 1984. Vocals will knock your socks off. (That note he hits is an E5)

hellow Merchant og Alba thank you for reacting to iron maiden; first time i heard Iron Maiden was i 1987. love this band. greetings from Denmark. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Rime of the ancient mariner - rock in rio !! Spectacular

Imagine being in that crowd and get to witness this being played for the first time!!!? I mean this is from the beast on the road tour -82

Dominika, you were wondering how many youngsters actually know Iron Maiden. I would say: a lot. Iron Maiden concerts tend to be family events for some. By that I mean that you can find parents with kids as young as 10 years old on the concerts. Three weeks ago I was on the concert in Warsaw and beside me there was a father with, I would say, 12 yo son. The young one rocked hard!

Second time I saw Maiden was on this tour, a few days before this when they played in Bristol UK 🤘

Hi my frends please more. Iron maiden videos. I love your reaction videos😗😀😀😀

...and a new journey begins. great!

Greeting for Iowa, USA. Like Sabaton, Iron Maiden have done numerous songs that cover historical events. I would recommend these: Alexander the Great - Title pretty much says it all. The Trooper - Charge of the light brigade in the 1854 Crimea War Aces High - 1940 Battle of Britain The Clansman - William Wallace versus the British The Longest Day - 1944 invasion of Normandy Invaders - 10th century Viking invasion (warning, lots of gore) I would also recommend Fear of the Dark. Stay safe and well.

Thanks, welcome to Iron Maiden

Someone earlier in the comments said they still tour and they do! I am seeing them in October here in Tampa, Florida. Crazy that I seen them in like 1987 or around that time, in Lakeland Florida and now seeing them again 35 years later.

Good call. Actually a lot of the best rock/metal stars trained in classical or Opera growing up.

Fear of the Dark, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Run to the Hills are all great songs to react to. Love your reactions.

Love ya both. Stay frosty.

Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden, my Holy Trinity!!!!

Awesome one guys . Welcome to the Iron maiden family this would have to be one of their best songs and everybody is on point from the singer🎤, guitarist 🎸, drummer 🥁, Bass player🎸. I truly love this song from a musicians point of view on musicianship and how well everybody in this video performs considering how old the song is (coming up to 50yrs old and still going). The amazing thing about this song is we listen to the song from start to finish but never get told of what the crime is , it is just left out in the open for us to decide which is interesting.nice reaction guys love it.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥝🇳🇿

Now you realise what us Heavy Metal fans knew all along....not just noise but songs from the heart with lots of meaning.

My first Album of the Band 1982 the Number of the Beast - I was 14 years old- 2022 - 40 years later with long hair like Bruce here in the Video - i love this Song

Best band ever. UP THE IRON'S!!!!!

Another awesome song is Rime of the ancient mariner. You’ll love it. By Iron Maiden 😊

loving the back and forth convo in this vid hahahahahaha love this reaction so much hahahahhaha

You are never too old to attend a Metal concert! I am in my 50s and am going to see Iron Maiden live this coming October! Always enjoying your reactions. Cheers!!

Just discovered you both this evening. Liked, subscribed. You’re intelligent, insightful, clearly love each other. Great fun for me. Thanks.

I took my daughter to see these a couple of weeks ago in Barcelona, oh my word, simply amazing, still filling stadiums & incredible show !!... and, just for good measure, Within Temptation & Airborne were the guests.. what a night that was 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Lol u are so fun...the husband, how do they play same all the time? Coz this is skill on instruments and is why i loooove metal.

What a wonderfull reaction to one of my favourite bands. But if you like melodic metal may i suugest you try rainbow with stargazer. keep up making these great authentic reactions. love you guys Up the irons

I've got the same exact face expresion when I am listening to Iron Maiden! My cousin forced me to listen I was 11-12...35years ago. I realy love them since!

Nightwish, The Warning, now Maiden... What more could I ask more from you guys ?? 👍👍👍

awesome seen them twice

That was a fun reaction guys. Thanks

Bruce is still doing same singing now in his 60s🤗🇧🇻

Great reaction. I love your husband's innocent question. He must understand that these guys are professional musicians. Lots of training and practice. I love his desire to understand.

And after 2008 they had their own Boing 757 to goes to concerts in the whole world. At 2011 their own Jumbo Jet (Boing 747) and Bruce (the singer) was the pilot. But this video ist very old but good!

welcome to the wonderful, fantastic and brilliant world of heavy metal🤘🤘

UP THE IRONS !! Well chosen.......another nice Rabbithole to dive down 🙂 More of them ? Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, The Evil that Man do, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High...ohh...and all the others....There is soo much... Good Choice ! This is Heavy Metal at its best ! And very good that you are open-minded enough that you try this stuff...as you say...Metal is more than just Noise...most of the time. Maiden is a very good example for that....Most of the Metal-Fans are more open minded than you think...

You need a longer journey with Maiden.Try Rime of the ancient mariner next.Great reaction.Up the Irons!

Such a beautiful couple! I really enjoyed rockin out with you two kids!!! Kidding aside, I’m so here to observe your journey into the wonderful world of Metal . Please more Jinjer… really really such a talented beautiful band from Ukraine. Looking forward to more metal!!!

They practise at their respective homes and together that's how they know.

the name was taken from a medieval torture instrument called an IRON MAIDEN. bruce dickinson the singer is a pilot. he has is own full size aeroplane with IRON MAIDEN written on the side

They got me into heavy metal metal bands today you can tell there maiden fans this band kicks ass you will like it got to do fear of the dark live

Love the reaction when Bruce started the first long line of the song, truly a Maiden reaction ❤️

for what you said in the begining the band started in 1972 became "know" in england ind the last part of the 1975 begining of the 1976 and became know to the word in the 80S years!

Great choice there guys! Iron Maiden always make good people happy! I saw them live a month ago and they were as spectacular as ever! Please react to some more of them. And always live versions. And to answer the question, yes it is the same music day after day in their concerts and songs that they know how to play in their sleep BUT it is never exactly the same. There are so many variables to a live concert. The band can be at its best or it can be tired or in foul mood, the crowd can be amazing or kind of meh....so many variables. So it is never the exact same thing. That's why some performances are better than others. It is live music. It is so unpredictable as it is to wake up everyday and go on with your life. We repeat certain things but it is never the same. I hope my huge answer helped a little. 😛

Good reaction. Love you guys

Iron Maiden is one of those bands that not only provides a good show, they also provide you with a history lesson.

I saw them live in Brisbane, Australia over 40 years ago was a very good concert. I just turned 60 this year, I'm one stripe away from my black belt in BJJ, I put Iron Maiden on when we are rolling.

As you like this one, "Fear of the dark" live in Rio is a must, pure energy!

Sure you already know this but Bruce (the singer) is also a pilot that flew the band around in their own 747 called Ed force one.

Beautiful couple. Now you have experienced the two greatest live bands on earth. Keep enjoying Maiden and Nightwish

And another rabbit hole is found :) So many great songs to delve into. You may have heard them on the radio in Europe, here heavy metal at that time very rarely maid mainstream daytime radio and there were no dedicated rock stations. If you've heard them at all then it would probably be something like The Trooper, Flight Of Icarus or Aces High. I'd highly recommend Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, based on the poem of the same name by Coleridge.

The thing about a big chunk of maiden songs is that they pump you full of good energy... Making you feel more alive somehow.

Iron Maiden is the best live band ever, and they are still touring and putting on great shows.

MAIDEN is the greatest band on Earth, an still going 🤟🤟

Thing is when i was a teen Maiden was concidered a very heavy band, and most countries didnt suport them, Sweden was one of the first who did and Maiden was one of the first metal bands i started listening to and i just started play the drums and this drummer was so good, and this music was so hard to play.

I didn’t listen to metal when I was younger either, don’t feel bad. Live and learn

Children of the damned, fear of the dark, afraid to shoot strangers, and (the evil that man do)/list goes on an and on . Loving your channel, people discovering metal is such a moving thing for me, since most people I encounter in work or life in general has that view that it's just noise (granted, some of it is noise). Seeing people discover the beauty that for me has been obvious since childhood (thanks to my friends older brothers). It's captivating, and beautiful. There's so much to discover, and it feelslike you're both going to keep on that journey even without the react part of it, and thats also beautiful. But thanks for letting us tag along for the ride.

Metal minds are like classical music minds, in terms of criativity using complex instrumental that nobody else does,,, metal use a lot of classic music inspiration, a lot of metal singers have classical training two, thats why bands like Nightwish, Iron Maiden, Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Avantasia etc...exist .. And also rock and metal combine very welll with classical instruments... Metallica, Scorpions, Alter Bridge... and many other use orchestras in the back and its just epic---

After you play a song enough times muscle memory kicks in and they can play it without thinking about it. That's why they can run around and perform and their fingers already know what to do. You guys are great!
