think you meant to match up that part of megadeth "return to hangar" with the part that happens at 9:40 in "seventh son"(timestamp for this reaction video) never noticed that before but what i did notice was if you listen to "the prophecy" from this same album at 2:23 the rhythm guitar behind the solo is the same as the solo in "hanger 18" which, interestingly, also starts at 2:23 i think its safe to say that mustaine was inspired by this album considering this
Really good ear. There was definitely inspiration even if they aren't identical. "The Prophecy" backing rhythm goes "D5 - Eb5 - G5 - D5" while the backing in "Hangar 18" is an arpeggiation that goes "F5 - G5 - F5 - E5". Very different but similar sounding.
I dedicated Heaven can wait to my son that was born with a heart defect the doctors didn't notice. Had him home 2 weeks before we noticed something wrong, and spent the next month and a half pretty much living at the hospital, while he was fighting for his life. 19 years later and he's a grown man I'm proud of, but that song was my spiritual fight song for him.
Maiden RULES .. This girl took guitar lessons for 6.5 years since 1999, because of their epic passion and skill. Maiden girl forever!!! 41 years self taught keyboard musician. I love MAIDEN and they inspired this girl. I genuinely love them.
@@kaywill9677 Been a Maiden fan since early 82. I have listened to all the 80's albums thousands of times each. To me SS is the greatest album ever written.
its worth watching the live version of this from 1988, the solos are faster and adrian smith fills in the gaps with the tremolo, probably my favorite solo from him
This is definitely Maiden's greatest album. Give it a listen from start to finish as it's a concept album of a whole story culminating in the fantastic and overlooked 'Only the Good Die Young'
"Seventh son of a seventh son, try saying that seven times fast." Bruce Dickinson: " So it shall be written, so it shall be done!" ( I think he actually sings it eight times fast, twice during the song.)
These solos show why Smith and Murray are two of my favorite guitarists of all time. Been playing for more than 30 years and they still amaze me how good these guitar work was/is.
The album is a concept album. The next track on the album is "The Prophecy". You should give that a listen as well which continues the story. Great reaction and "Up the IRONS!" \m/\m/
What I love about Maiden in the abstract is that they write and sound mentally mature, whereas some other metal bands are quite juvenile in their content. Because of this, I'm still listening to and loving maiden 35+ years after discovering them. Some of the other bands? No so much.
Same! I can’t stand all that bubblegum crap and the new stuff... not much worth 2 cents. As I got older a LOT of what I thought was cool went to the back burner.
Maiden is by far my all-time favorite metal band but Judas Priest and Black Sabbath also hold up for me about 40 years later, but I agree other's lost their shine as I grew older.
Hey T, you totally nailed it on that same transition with the Megadeth song🤘 I heard it as soon as you played it!! This was my request so I’m on journey for next gem to send ya 🤘 Glad ya liked 🤘
Wow, great analysis. I went to middle school and high school in the 90's. Surrounded by hordes of alternative rock, grunge and hip-hop fans, I was a lone voice in the wilderness declaring the greatness of Iron Maiden. It's really interesting to see how so many people, especially younger people, are discovering them now. Catching Maiden on the radio used to be like a UFO sighting when I was growing up, it was enough to drive me into a furor in those rare instances that it was played. I loved your thoughtful description of what makes this song work and why Maiden is so good and it was great to see the enthusiasm of a (relatively) new fan. Up the Irons!
I can imagine a 10 minute song on the radio in the 90s was not gonna happen. I've noticed that in the 90s till now , songs have become shorter and shorter.
I remember being around 14 when this came out. This album was so deep and rich. I studied the liner notes and counted the word "seven" 49 times (7x7). Perfect.
In 2013 I took my eldest son to his first concert for his birthday. Megadeth and Iron Maiden. Yes I am the best dad. There are similarities in those songs for sure, they certainly had influence on each other I’m sure. Check out my Maiden Patreon, “Alexander the Great”.
I was planning to do it back to back with this song but I figured no one would want to jam with me for 20+ minutes. I'll have it uploaded by friday. I hope all is well with you.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Great! From the Seventh Son album, the opening track Moonchild is incredible! The buildup is soooo good! Then it explodes! In the 2013 concert, they opened with that song and it killed!!!
I'm 54 and this was in my Tape deck in 1987/88 , I loved the Mystical verses . I felt I lived in a special Time and as I cruised around in my Honda Accord I'd scream along with Bruce .
i started playing drums in 1990 and i developed my hihat technique and stamina with the hit hat pattern that start at 5:07 it is very challenging to play, it require lot of stamina and practice.
I, also, started playing drums (on a proper kit, that is) in 1990...I was 15. I remember buying a copy of Maiden England Live on VHS and the section of Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son you're talking about. I knew as soon as I had heard it on the album that you'd need forearms like Popeye to pull it off lol I've always been a big fan of Nicko's creativity and ingenuity...he's actually one of my favorite single bass drummers. Up The Irons!! 🤘
It was named seventh son of a seventh son because this was their 7th album. I rode my bicycle 8 miles to Ames department store to buy this cassette tape with money I received from mowing lawns when I was 13. This whole album is amazing and yes Megadeth was a killer band also.
Iron Maiden and Dream Theater have transcended the material world with their music. The end of this song is so good the reactor was left speechless lol.
There's a few live versions of this song that are absolute dynamite. Album is almost tied with Somewhere In Time as my favorite. Love that synthy proggy era for the band.
Released in 1988 Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is a great Iron Maiden album, I saw the tour for this album, ... they had an up & coming band called Guns n Roses as opening act on this tour, .... great show as always.
Seventh Son was my first Maiden concert! My friends and I had 6th row on the floor!!! Not bad for a first Maiden concert....lol...And some years later, I was grateful enough to have met the whole band!
Your responses give me so much hope. These early maiden songs are what those of us growing up in the late 80's early 90's latched on to. Everything about them is just so flexible. The music doesn't care who you are. It just flexes it's muscles for all of us and lets us fill in the blank and enjoy it.
It's funny you call this one "early Maiden". I get what you're saying though since it was the late 80's, and they were still pretty much in their prime. On the other hand, it is their 7th album and when I think early Maiden, I think Number of the Beast, Killers, Piece Of Mind...Oh well, it's still VERY easy on the ears.
Great Reaction! I love watching you discover these songs so I can re-discover them. Please react to Can I Play with Madness or Moon Child. These are the best songs on this album.
I love this Album..It sure takes you on a journey!!! Thanks for bringing it to peoples attention!! It`s a classic!! ..You really gotta do "The evil that men do ! "
I couldn't of said I better myself brother. I just discovered your channel today, however I'm 43 and have been jamming Maiden since I was 5 thanks to some cool ass uncles and cousins of mine. I happy welcome you to the Maiden family and the metal community. And I look forward to binging the fuck out of your channel . Up the irons!
I saw them live at the Wembley Arena in their Seventh Tour of the Seventh Tour. Amazing. For me, and i have said that many times before, this is their best ever almbum.
SSoaSS if my favorite Maiden album. It's weird, there are many die hard Iron Maiden fans who aren't a fan of this album, and many others think it's their favorite. I think it's whole prog metal element that some people can't really get into. In my opinion this is THE Iron Maiden album for musicians. It has no bad songs, and some of Bruce's best vocals. About 25 years ago when I was in high school, I had this cd in my truck for like a month or two straight. Lol I couldn't get enough of it.
Growing up in the 80´s African American people never listened to HEAVY METAL. Now 40 years later it is good to see that metal has transcended into other races. I even got my wife who is also African American into a metal junkie.
Hell yeah man!!!...love ur reaction vids!!...Ghost B.C. just covered phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden!!! Listen to the original and then listen to the ghost cover it is killer!!!!...thank u man!!!...UP THE IRONS!!!!! I've been a IRON MAIDEN fan since I was 12 years old... 1984 I listened to powerslave and Rime of the Ancient Mariner..... And I've been a Iron Maiden / heavy metal fan ever since.... I actually listen to led Zeppelin Uriah Heep and Black Sabbath before then but that was my total turning point for heavy metal.... I love it and maidens been my favorite band for a long time..... in all the years I've got to see them about 12 times....... The last time I seen them was in Charlotte North Carolina on June 21st up 2012 on the maidan England tour.... Charlotte was the first show on the tour
Seen this album tour in 1988 and met the band backstage still have my shirt and many pictures…… I’m requesting you react to “Can I Play With Madness” it’s a short song on same album it’s been my 11 year old daughter’s favorite Maiden tune for about 4 years now
You rock out to this song JUST like I do. I’ll sing the chorus for days pretending to sing proper. 🤩 Your reaction is awesome. Keep up the great work! Up the Irons!!
Megadeth opened a few concerts to MAIDEN in 7th son tour, including the legendary Monsters of Rock. It is really possible they've got influenced by 7th son in Return to Hangar.
My mother said that when she was young she had burned her legs quite badly with boiling water. According to my mother, a woman was brought to see her...a 7th daughter of a 7th daughter. Mom claims the lady talked (in tongues, if I'm not misremembering) the fire out of her blistered legs, and that said blisters peeled off like a common sunburn the next day revealing normal pink skin underneath. I have no idea as to the accuracy of her account, but I can tell you that she believes it absolutely.
Hi there Adventures of TNT, I love Iron Maiden. I don't care who they are, I don't believe that they are a true Iron Maiden fan, if they haven't heard Daughter to the slaughter, and Alexander the great, and more to mention, I would love to hear them songs, and also AC/DC, TNT with Bon Scott, + Flick of the switch Brian Johnson, AC/DC. True AC/DC fans will know that there was 3 LEED singers. Keep up the good work 👍🇦🇺 from Dave.
Man, I hope you don't take this wrong but I love seeing a black man thoroughly being happy listening to this Maiden masterpiece. I say this because I've read and heard black dudes and girls saying they got shit for listening to metal and other music genres, like "what the fuck is that", "that's white boy shit" and so on, and really, music has no boundaries at all, at least that's how I see it, and it's a shame that people don't get to know about amazing music cause they get shit for it. Anyways, up the irons! and keep on going with the channel! You're a dope dude.
