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.

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.

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!

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

RIP Clive Burr 🤘❤️

Guys, The most perfect reaction channel on RU-vid...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!!!

This is my all time favorite song from Iron Maiden.

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!

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’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

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

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 😀🤘

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

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.

I'm 50 years old and love this song. I've heard it so many times over the years and always gives me chills. 🤘🤘

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 .

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

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 ❤

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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?

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

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

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.

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 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

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

Amazing song! I came early to support the channel. Noti gang stand up!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!!!"

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.

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.

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

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 !

Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner! UP THE IRONS!

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

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

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

I saw them last year and they are awesome.

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 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Clive Burr on drums… love it

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

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

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.

Greatest Metal song ever written.

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

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

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

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

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.🤘

Maiden much like Nightwish are best live! My favorite maiden song is “run to the hills” and “tame a land”

Legendary song. Nice reaction!

That Bass Gallup is legendary. 🤘

Best song in all of metal

My woman is a Country music gal but she LOVES Maiden! Esp Wasted Years. UP THE IRONS!!!!

It's really brought up that Bruce Dickinson's singing training was in the beginning very opera and classical based. My first concert was power slave I also seen wicker man fear of the dark and two others I can't think of the name right off hand

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

In this clip '15. Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter - 2003' during an audience participation bit at the start Bruce holds a note for about 40 seconds

Iron Maiden is probably the best metal band in history. This just considering their 80s but you have amazing songs even afterwards. Nowadays there’s a band that keeps alive the metal flame: Lovebites 🐺 Check them out and prepare to be amazed! Up the Irons!! 🤘🏻

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

I would like to hear what Alexis thinks of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." UP THE IRONS!

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

"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

I love Iron Maiden. One of my favorite songs that dosen't get much play time is Passchendale. Check it out

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

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

If Alexis is scared Bruce was gonna fall running around on stage she would have freaked seeing them at the Sunken Gardens Theater in San Antonio on when he rejoined the band. He was climbing the rigging.

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!

Queensryche - take hold of the flame Iron Maiden - paschendale (the history is important!) All of Operation: MINDCRIME Something from Michael Sweet (Stryper) And if you haven’t heard it, you both need to check out Icon for Hire - Last One Standing,!

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!!!

With the '82 live version, Alexis would have gotten to see Bruce with long hair and the late great Clive Burr on drums.

One of the best reaction channels

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

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.

The greatest Heavy Metal song of all Time.

Bruce came from "Samson." Call up Earth Mother & check that beauty out. I had a conniption when I heard Number of the Beast for the first time & realized Bruce had joined Maiden. I caught their Trooper Tour with Judas Priest. Good times.
