As an African American female, Maiden has been my favorite band since 1982! They are ridiculous live and Bruce's voice is amazing. Up the Irons!

Vocalist Bruce Dickinson, pilot, champion fencer, throat cancer survivor, and this is a fairly recent concert. He flies the band on tour. Amazing group and excellent first experience.

I have heard this song 1000's of times. It STILL makes the hairs go up on the back of my neck!

Maiden is one of the best concerts ever. Crowd is involved in every song. Great experience

They are the most influential heavy metal band in the world. 47 years, still jamming.

Nicko (the drummer ) is 70 right now and still tearing it up!

No one can scratch that metal itch like Maiden. One of my faves since the 80s and Bruce is an amazing individual.

I've been a Maiden fan since the early 80s and I absolutely love seeing new people discovering this band! Up the Irons!!!

In my opinion, "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner " is one of their best songs. So much talent in this band. They're my favorite

This to me is one of the greatest rock songs ever. I'm a late starter when it comes to Iron Maiden. I'm 53, and only really discovered them at 51. It was The Trooper that hooked me. Was lucky enough to go and see them live in Barcelona the following year. What an incredible show that was. Music legends 🤟🤟

I was at THIS concert in Toronto! They played amazing all night and had as much energy as they did in the 80s! This might not be their best version of Hallowed, but it was fast and furious and shook the whole place!! UP THE IRONS!

This is just the tip of the iceberg with Maiden. Their music is crazy energetic and the vocals are outstanding. There's so much more....

Seeing Iron maiden at their peak in the mid eighties was like a religious experience

Welcome to the Iron Maiden world of amazing music, haunting lyrics, dedication towards the fans, fantastic musicians and a singer that has no competition to face! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Keeping Janick in the band after Adrian came back took them to another level. Been a fan since Number of The Beast and forty some years later these guys still tearing it up.

There will never be another band like Maiden. Their unique sound and talent are like no other. I wish I could take you back with me. I remember when they came to America. Also, this is later on in their career. Imagine what they were like in their prime. #ironmaiden

Great reaction!!! This is a so so version of this song in my opinion. The one in Hammersmith in 1982 IS the version to check out. You have now opened the door to the greatest band ever without any media or radio support. Check out Aces High, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Run to the Hills, Powerslave, Paschendale, Alexander the Great, The Clansman, Dance of Death and Fear of the Dark, to start.... Live if possible, and the best crowds are usually in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The 2001 Rock in Rio and EnVivo concert are legendary. Enjoy and Up the Irons!!!

I never ever EVER get tired of them. Their songs are legendary!!

One of the greatest things about seeing maiden live is its so obvious they're having a much fun as the crowd. First band i saw live at 13, first band my son saw live at 14 and my daughter at 14 , my daughter started playing drums after watching Nicko because he looked like he was having so much fun

I passed so many history tests because of Iron Maiden. In fact, I have a classics degree because of them. They got me interested in Classical Greece by way of Hellenic Greece from their song Alexander The Great.

I love iron maidens transitions between different parts of the song. It's flawless. My favorite album is powerslave. Their music is almost operatic, telling stories. Bruce Dickinson is legendary.

I had the pleasure to see them in person while working for a hotel, and Bruce was absolutely awesome to the fans, he arrived at the hotel and pretty much jumped on the 20-30 guys waiting for them, those fans just couldn't believe it! and Janick is know for going out for drinks and running into fans in bars. Just awesome band and awesome guys

the beauty of this song is that it's dark but it goes to major chords to make it more of a celebration. the song feels like a funeral - sad at first, then a celebration of someone's life. it's a work of art this track

Iron Maiden. Consistently voted best live performance year after year. The top band for giving the fans the show they want and expect to see as well as giving respect to their fans because they know without them they wouldn't be where they are today. The one metal band that doesn't need radio airplay to be successful, and the one metal band with the largest fan following in the world. Other metal bands wish they could be like Iron Maiden and have the same following and the same success. Iron Maiden... the greatest metal band in the world. UP THE IRONS!!🤘🏼🤘🏼

A bit of extra context here is that this song is an encore performance at he end of an already long show, and they still deliver all the energy. Maiden are the gold standard for delivering at a concert, and having fun doing it.

One thing I think u may have overlooked….. they were live not in a studio and the sound is always incredible. I’ve been a fan of them since 82’

I’ve been listening to Maiden since Paul Di’anno fronted the group. I was in high school at the time. Their music takes me home and I never grow tired of hearing it! Thanks for posting your reaction video! 🤘 Up the Irons⚡️

Hallowed Be Thy Name is arguably the greatest metal song of all time. Great choice!

Something to take note these guys are in their 60s now. I have been going to their concerts since 1986, so ya, they totally rock.

You know that part where all the solos come in and before Bruce sings "hallowed be Thy Name"? It gives me goosebumps everytime. It drives near to tears. It's because the story is about a convict who is being led to his death and before they execute him, he cried out to the heavens and cried "Hallowed be Thy Name". He's crying out for forgiveness. Iron Maiden is one of my favorite bands forever!!

I really think this song needs to be heard on the album. Live is great, but the album version is slowed down some and much more in the vibes of the lyrics. so just crazy.

The best heavy metal band there has ever been! Iron Maiden was the first band I saw live at the age of 13! Love this band

Arguably the greatest metal band ever. The showmanship of Bruce and the musical talent is second to none. Bruce makes the people in the back feel like they’re in the front. Seen them many times and never failed.

One of the greatest rock songs ever. Not just a song, it's a journey !!

They are amazing. Listen to there live after death album. Best live album in history

One of the greatest songs in the history of heavy metal.

1st time I saw Iron Maiden was for Number of the Beast in the 80s when this song first came out and just saw them last year and they are still rocking as no time has elapsed at all. UP the Irons for life!!!!!!!!

Bruce is one of those singers that is just timeless, even after he had a really bad brush with throat cancer. a couple of years after this video was recorded if my timing is right.... I have been lucky enough to see them live twice, and my god, videos do not do their live shows justice. absolutely amazing to see live

Well, let me congratulate you for appreciating Iron Maiden for their music. I've been a fan since 1988 but I always love seeing people get their first taste of them and getting blown away by them. The band knows what it's really about, not the money, the fame, the women or the ego. It's about the fans, the people that spend their hard earned money to buy their albums and go see them live. It's a lesson that many performers seem to have forgot about.

I literally have chills. For this to be your first experience with maiden is awesome. Please do more!

Maiden, like Tool, is a deep dive (very different bands obviously). Love the storytelling in their songs, "Alexander The Great" is probably my favourite track.

One of the OG Heavy Metal bands (since 1975 and still performing today) with incredible lyrics and memorable riffs ... and shockingly they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ...

Cannot go wrong some classic Maiden. Incredible band! They are at their best live. Riffs out the wazoo! Thanks for this!

Welcome to the best of the NWOBHM and Bruce Dickenson: licensed 747 pilot, cancer survivor, word class fencer, author, TV and radio personality, entrepreneur, and one of the best singers in metal. Oh, and creator of his own craft beer. Truly a man for all seasons. Great reaction, horns up!

Great reaction Polo! Fear of the Dark from the Rock in Rio concert is one of Maiden’s best performances…imo

All members are 60+, saw them multiple times. One of the best livebands ever.

I'm 45 & my first album (yes actual vinyl) was Iron Maiden's Powerslave followed by Live After Death which included this track recorded live in Long Beach, CA. Bruce Dickinson os one of the most legendary front men as he has such a way getting the crowd into it, & this performance is these guys as old men & yet the energy they bring to the table is amazing. Glad you got a kick out of this as it's one of my favorite live songs.

They are phenomenal live. I see them every chance I get.

They are the greatest live rock band of all time. NOBODY touches Iron Maiden

Bruce Dickenson! Singer, Songwriter, Children's Book Author, Playwright, Theatrical Actor, Pilot, Professional Fencer, Historian, and Scholar! 💯😎 The dude is Captain Kirk, Indiana Jones, Robert Plant, and Batman all rolled into 5 foot 6 inches of absolute AWESOME!!! 🤣💯😎

I've been a fan of this band since the very week their second album Killers was released in 1981. Seen them live 5 times and even have one of Nicko's ( the drummer) sticks. A Maiden show is not just a concert it's an event. This is a band whose fan base includes the grandchildren of long-time fans and they're still going strong as I write this. A truly special band for over 40 years. And they pack the house everywhere they go on tour with their own 747 which the singer flies himself.

There's no band like Iron Maiden and never will be again. They have put out 17 studio albums with many songs as good as this one. Plus their latest album is every bit the masterpiece that their older material is. Their fan base is the most generational there's ever been and their audiences are actually get younger, not older. My son is 17 and absolutely loves them. He's seen them in concert several times already and can't wait for their next tour!

OH YEAH!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!

If you plan on seeing Iron Miaden live, then I highly recommend that you go and see them asap. Seeing them live is a blast and my kids abosulutely loved them. They are also getting up there in age and Bruce has mentioned it's getting harder for him to run around the stage like he used to.

Ok, Polo,🎉 let's go Iron Maiden.❤😊

Iron Maiden is definitely a band you need to see the live performances. The album versions are phenomenal but live is a whole other level and the crowds add a lot

My favorite fact about Bruce is he warms up by rollerblading around the arena singing their whole setlist.

High energy, very powerful, melodic, and kick ass is why Maiden are still rocking today. Go further into Maiden and have you're mind blown. Rhyme of the ancient mariner, sign of the cross, and anything off seventh son 🤘

Loved Maiden since I was 14 I'm 57 they are still awesome

I fell in love with their music at the tender age of 13 (37 years ago) and have been chasing them on guitar ever since lol! Up the Irons!!!

The lyrics of IRON MAIDEN are quite something.....pitty today nobody can do like this anymore......

This song is usually performed at the end of a long gig which shows the fitness and talent of the band. Watch fear of the dark live.

My fav since I was 12 years old. Your smile says it all. Thank you so much for this!

Greatest Metal Band Ever!! Been a fan since 1982

That's the energy of every Iron Maiden concert I've ever been to, 12 times so far! My husband had been to many more, but he's been a fan for over 30 years and he only introduced me to them in 2010! UP THE IRONS!!!

They really are the best band. I've followed them for over 40 years and seem then numerous times. Going to see them again this summer. The energy they project is just incredible and the most amazing thing is their ages, all over 60 and Nicko on drums is 70! They are a legend!!

I’m flying to Europe to see them in their home town this summer, WOW!!! Up the Irons🤘🏼 🎸‼️

Yes!!! Bruce's voice is phenomenal! 🔥🤟Iron Maiden Deep Dive!

This is my favorite band of all time, they’re absolute legends. If you ever get the chance please please see them live! I saw them a few months ago and it was the best of the 7 shows I’ve seen. These guys are in their f*cking 60s and they rock with this energy the entire 2-3 hour show. Complete intricate set changes every few songs, insane pyrotechnics; Bruce even came out with flame throwers!!! Thank you so much for this reaction, love seeing a new Maiden fan fall in love with their magic 💖

Favorite metal song of all time. Seeing this song live in concert is an exhausting experience because of all the emotion they bring to their performance. Truly has to be experienced to fully appreciate! Glad you got the vibe through the wonky video. Appreciate the upload.

I saw Iron Maiden in Philadelphia in 1991 …it was amazing …and they’re STILL going!

I have been a Maiden fan since around 1983 when I was 13 years old...their live shows are the best in the world for a metal band. Heaven Can Wait is another great live song - there is one part where their entire crew comes out on stage to chant with the crowd, always an epic moment!

My 1# since I heard them 42 years later. It is all great music!!

Either you love Maiden or you just love them... It's that simple! 😊

This was your introduction to this band? Nice!! Mine was the song Blood Brothers. Another good one. Heck, so many of their songs are great.

Incredible musicians, incredible storytellers. There's a wealth of tracks from Maiden that will be incredible for you to experience. One of, if not the most iconic metal bands of all time.

*_SCREAM FOR ME COMMENT SECTION!!!!_* 🤘

Saw Iron Maiden over 40 years ago in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺, awesome night. Great times, support from Australia 🇦🇺 brother.

Maiden was my first concert in 1983 when I was 12. Saw them 2 more times after that. Hubby took my daughter to see them when she was 10 or 11 and she’s 17 now; and wears Maiden shirts! There is a documentary/movie made about them and it’s absolutely worth watching. Something with noting…..they are still touring this year (2024). Bruce’s vocals are just as good now as they were back in the early 80’s. Back in the 80’s all I wore to school was Maiden concert tshirts!

Saw them the first time June 29 1985 at Red Rocks and it changed the way I listen to music! Each time I see them they sound the same! So together and complimentary to each other! Up The Irons!

Now you gotta check out Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Aces High and the Trooper! So many many more to listen to!

Glad I found your channel. I grew up on Maiden. My first concert was in 84 to see them and my sons first concert was 2016 to see them. Amazing history and musicians. You owe it to yourself if you like audible books. Bruce has an amazing life story. “What does this button do” Also, listen to the studio mix. While you lose the amazing energy of the live show but so good. But the Rock in Rio of this is amazing too. Flight 666 Bruce flew the 747 for the tour. Well several tours. Thanks for this truly enjoyed the sincere reaction and appreciation of the music. God Bless!

I tell people all the time Bruce, might be one of the best male vocalists ever to live. having said that. this is live after he survived cancer. The young Bruce could hold notes FOREVER and switch between high and low tones so smoooth

Great reaction! Love it when a sharp person with an open mind learns about bands like Iron Maiden. (Have seen them twice!) Your enjoyment allows all us Maiden fans to enjoy all over again! First time I have watched your channel! Will subscribe & be in touch!!

One key thing about Maiden that we all love - notice they are ALWAYS HAPPY. They are all genuine, likable chaps who've been giving us music for almost 50 years.

Iron Maiden is one of the best Metall Band s The Singer Bruce Dickenson is one of the best Metall singer he is now 65years old his Band maits ha ve the same age have fun

More Maiden please, anything will do, its all fire!!

The energy they put into their concerts is amazing. They're truly one of the best live performing bands on the planet

Bruce's crowd control abilities seem to be a two-edged sword. I've never been to a Maiden concert where the crowd let them leave after their set was finished. 80-100 thousand people chanting "Play Again, Play Again..." in unison. They'll have their equipment half packed away and have to break it out again for an encore, lol. You can tell this was recorded at the end of a set. "Number of the Beast" is probably the most popular song. Every reaction channel has covered it to death, but it's an awesome song. Not sure if this is true or apocryphal, but legend has it, when Bruce split from the band in the 90s, and did his solo work, he was in L.A., and just dropped into a nightclub to find a local band called "Tribe of Gypsies" on stage, and they were covering an Iron Maiden track. So rather than introduce himself to the band, he bought one of their demos, learned the tracks, and got the manager of the club to let him preform. So the next night Tribe of Gypsies was scheduled to perform, they walked in to see metal-idol, Bruce Dickinson on stage, covering their songs. He was one of their fans, in one of the coolest role-reversals I've heard about. They went on to record several albums together. But they brought that mid 90s SoCal Latin guitar rock vibe, which worked really well. Check out "The Chemical Wedding" from Bruce's solo work. That one is amazing (especially the Guitar solo), and a lot of Iron Maiden fans still seem to be in the dark on that one. Also from his solo work, see: "Taking the Queen" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Change of Heart" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Tattooed Millionaire" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Inertia" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "All the young dudes" (David Bowie cover) ⭐⭐⭐ "Omega" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The Ballad of Mutt" - Just a bit of fun, Bruce sings a Blues style song with some "interesting" lyrics. "I'm in a Band with an Italian Drummer" - Also just for shits and Giggles, he likes to goof off, lol. These tracks all have a very different sound to them.

This is a great live version, howevever the studio version, & the original live recording from Hammersmith Ballroom in ‘82!! Will leave you breathless. The note he holds on the ‘Running looooooooowwwwww…. I forget, but I’m sure someone will correct me, I believe he holds that note for around 28 seconds. Hammersmith is nearly identical to the studio… but with the added energy of a he insane love audience. This is absolutely one of the quintessential Heavy Metal songs ever. All true metal fans will have this in their top 10.

What's truly amazing is that this song is either an encore or almost the end of a two-hour show, so - Bruce has been singing like that and they've been playing like that at high-octane levels for about two hours AND THEN played this song! They just SLAY from beginning to end. Next song? "Can I Play With Madness," or ANYTHING ELSE off of "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son." Up the Irons!

I came for the tool I've stayed for everything else. You're my favorite reactor

UP THE IRONS! Welcome my friend! This is my favorite song from my favorite band of all time.

I got to see them back in the 80's. Amazing stage show and energy. Everything was spot on.

its already been said millions of times, but you just witnessed quite literally the most talented musicians of the past 40 years to exist. UP THE IRONS!!!!!!

I was at this concert! It’s been my dream to see them. Favorite metal band by far

I was at that show, Toronto is close to me. Amazing band, always puts on a incredible show. Bruce is always in control of the crowd, excellent performer and singer. The trooper is another classic, 2 minutes till midnight is a personal favorite. Glad you enjoyed the band, it's always cool to see someone experience the greatness the first time. Thanks for sharing.

If Black Sabbath are the fathers of metal, Maiden is the doctor that delivered Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Metallica.
