LOUDDEERRR!!!! always! god I much prefer the edited version of my videos, but i hope you enjoy an uncut version! if you would like more uncut reactions there's heaps more up on my patreon right now - link in desc!! :) edit: i've never received so many views on a video within the first hour! thank you for all the support!!
fear of the dark and phantom of the opera are good songs from iron maiden I recommend listening to them next time. also I prefer the cut reactions no need for uncut reactions in my opinion its better for your patreon but that's my honest opinion
@@wow8255 yep i plan for majority of my videos on YT to be cut versions because i prefer them too. just wanted to test the waters and see how the algorithm responds to this one
Weird that anyone would prefer the cut versions but hey, we’re all different. I like uncut because it is more of a mix of your behaviour :-). When you cut the videos it’s all hyper all the time;-)
agreed. my two most favorite Maiden albums are Somewhere in Time (86) and seventh son of a seventh son (88). When I was younger I had this idea that all 80s music was garbage, but oh boy was I way wrong.
I don't get the hype around The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Its so weird and probably the only song from them that I personally don't really like. But its all subjective :)
I appreciate so much that you’re honest about whether you actually like stuff, like your difficulties with Bruce’s voice at first. A lot of reactors pretend they think everything is amazing right away for the cameras and it makes the whole thing feel fake!
Bruce's voice does often take a bit of getting used to. His voice is amazing, but atypical of most metal singers, so it is a grower. By the same token, Asami from Lovebites (who is often compared to Bruce in terms of style) similarly takes a few listens to get into, but once you do, her voice is incredible!
@@garykeeling2275 : The same could be said of Brittney Slayes, the lead vocalist for Unleash the Archers. Fun fact: Brittney has said Bruce is one of her mentors.
Bruce Dickinson’s voice is very operatic and he tends to tell stories and have meaningful lyrics. His vocal style definitely does polarise people but we Maiden fans love Bruce “Air-Raid-Siren” Dickinson and his soaring vocals. Up the Irons!!
How could you not love that voice... If you approach any band on their terms (as you should), you literally can't deny his voice... What I mean by "on their terms": You should go in with an open mind and trying to understand what their followers see in them. And weither you'll be one of their followers doesn't matter, you can still appreciate the skill or appeal to others...
First three LPs... another league! Beautiful! There are a couple of live videos of that era on the tube...check them out. Di'anno, Dickinson and the best maiden drummer, clive burr, at their top
@@andrijastarcevic1006 I honestly don't understand why people don't rate strange world. Such a chill track with beautiful solos and Vocals. One of my favourite maiden songs.
Iron Maiden's first album came out in 1980 and really helped set the tone for a lot of 80s metal, in my opinion; so saying it has a "70s sound" doesn't really make sense to me.
@@philjones45 Hey Somewhere in Time isn't among my favorites from Maiden (those would be Brave New World, 7th Son of a 7th Son, Powerslave, Piece Mind...) but you can't deny that Somewhere in Time is a brilliant album!
And next ALEXANDER THE GREAT, THE LONGEST DAY, MONSEGUR, PASCHENDALE, THE CLANSMAN, ACES HIGH, STRANGER IN THE STRANGE LAND and so many more. Live THEY are unbelievable.
One of the things I love about Iron Maiden is they have always (and still do) give 150% energy in their live performances. Bruce always seems to me to become the character in the songs as he is singing, and Steve Harris is the master of the galloping bassline. I became a fan in the early 80's, and I still am now 40 years later :-)
And don't forget Les Claypool. :) I am actually fortunate enough to have seen The Who while John Entwistle was still with the band. (1989, to be specific. 25th year anniversary tour, road-tripped to see them in Vancouver). Definitely enjoyed *that* show, you can be sure. lol.
@@cyberdan42 found out the shows in Europe have been put back a year and my are flights cancelled so into 2022 now. That will be a 3 year wait since the last time we went.
@@Dibbdroid Yeah, the global shit show handling of the Pandemic has pretty much ensured it will be years before I see a world class foreign tour in Australia I fear. Had tickets for a half dozen shows in 2020, at least I got one, Jinjer which howled. But sweet damn I miss the live shit and I'm too damn old to wait around.
Iron Maiden is always best served live. Rime of the Ancient Mariner (flight 666 live) and The Clansman (live Rock in Rio) are 2 awesome performances that immediately come to mind for a completely live Iron Maiden reaction :)
Absolutely disagree, I always thought Maiden never really sounds as great live. Especially for a first listen I would highly advice against any live versions.
Oh, my favourite band, I need to give my recommendations! I'd say Phantom of the Opera, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Sign of the Cross, Brave New World, Ghost of the Navigator, Dance of Death, Brighter than a Thousand Suns, and Empire of the Clouds, it's an amazing and fantastic band, you should listen to more of it!!!! Oh, and an album recommendations for you to listen it as a whole, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, it's simply amazing!!
This was your best video so far. Like the format better. Having the whole song gives you space to explain what you like and not like as much and also time to be entertaining.
"Hallowed Be Thy Name" is one of my top five metal songs ever. What an absolute thrill of a track. I personally prefer the cut versions over this full upload, but to each their own.
The 82' LIVE performance is a perfect display of Bruce's UNMATCHED vocals and the bands all around synchronicity. One of very few PERFECT performances 👌
Iron Maiden... whats not to love? You get the triple axe attack of Davey Adrian and Janick, Nicko fuckin Mcbain on the Drums, Bruces vocals, and the legendary Steve Harris on bass and writing most of the songs. Its basically a supergroup at this point.
I love how genuine you are Kira. I hope you never hold yourself just because you are being watched by a lot of people. Keep being you, cause that's what's best in your channel!
Haha you were *giddy* halfway through "Hallowed." Was awesome that you connected with the music so much. I like both this format and the more heavily edited one--pros and cons to both.
Honestly, you really should. I struggled with Bruce's voice at first too, but Powerslave was the album that convinced me. I still don't class myself as a huge Maiden fan, but Powerslave is one of my favourite albums anyway, and the Rime of the Ancient Mariner specifically one of my favourite songs of all time.
Hi kira definitely need Fear of the dark on your next reaction, how about a live uncut version of Catch the rainbow from Rainbow On Stage and Mistreated from Munich 77
I am sooo very happy that you finally did a Iron Maiden reaction. And you reviewed my favorite song, Hallowed be Thy Name. Love how into the music you are.
Kira, something I would suggest is looking up the voice isolated tracks that are on youtube :). Caught Somewhere in Time and Alexander the Great are probably my all time favourite track by Iron Maiden... both great for reaction I'd say :)
Wow wow! Kira, another awesome reaction. I enjoyed this reaction so much I did search for like 2 seconds for the volume when you wanted to make it “louder” hahaha :D :D I always say this, but thank you for sharing your energy, joy and passion with us. We will be waiting for more Iron Maiden. Hope you have a great week!
One of the best concerts I have ever seen was the 1988 Monsters of Rock, Donington Park where Iron Maiden headlined during their tour of Seventh Son of a Seventh son album. The sound of a 100k Maiden fans jumping up and down during Running Free, I will always remember.
They were astonishing on that tour. I saw them at the German Leg of the Monsters of Rock, with Kiss, David Lee Roth, Dokken, Helloween and i think, Pretty Maids? They blew everyone away and played for two hours at least
Why not do a Nightwish reaction and welcome the Nightwish Army into your life? ;-) They are a top group, great vocals, great stories, great drums, brilliant bass, and a singer you won't believe, and a keyboard player who is the Mozart of Metal music.
That live video is nothing compared to the energy they put into their shows now even though they're in their 60s. There's so much more maiden for you to discover.
i've been learning bass for the last couple years. i suck at it. much better at piano.. but i try. i'll try and remember to show my bass in an upcoming video
I was having a rough day but listening to iron maiden right now made me feel happy to be alive. God I love this so fucking much. I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
Piece of Mind is one of my favorite albums ever. Nice choices and I'm surprised that you chose Powerslave. Not saying that it's a bad song in any way shape or form. but an interesting pick I guess I could say. Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time so I'm glad to see you react to them.
Trust me on this one... Savatage, the most underrated heavy/progressive metal band of all times. Hall of the mountain king, Legions, Sirens, all crazy songs and their later stuff like Wake of Magellian or Poets and Madman albums are just insane. Oh also the contrast between 2 singers Jon and Zach.
I think i do trust you! too many people have mentioned Savatage for me to ignore it any longer! better start planning where they're going to fit into the schedule..
A cool thing about Iron Maiden is that Steve Harris (the bass player) writes almost everything. However this eventually lead to Bruce Dickinson feeling like he wasn't contributing enough, so Steve agreed for Bruce to write a lot of the lyrics for the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album, which is my absolute favourite by them. They take it a lot more progressive sounding than previously and it's just a great album. Powerslave is a close second favourite album of mine.
You're wrong. Bruce wanted to make an acoustic album as the follow up to powerslave but Steve was against the idea and said the songs were poor. That hit Bruce hard and that's why there's no songs written by him on somewhere in time. When it came to writing 7th son Steve told Bruce his idea and it inspired him to write the songs for that album.
Yes, then a warm welcome to the family. :) That was IMHO by far your best video so far. I really would want more from Maiden. In all honesty, you've only scratched the surface so far. There are so many good Maiden songs and so few bad ones. Of course, like all the others, I could make suggestions to you, "The Sign Of The Cross" but what's the point? "The Talisman" I just let myself be surprised by "The Book of Souls" and hope for the next video with Maiden in it. ^^ Nice greetings from Germany. :)
i could watch this reaction all day - every day! u refreshed my love to iron maiden! u reminded me to myself when i started to listen to maiden in my youth... thank U!
As a bass player.. I can NOT tell you how amazing it is to have reactors acknowledge its presence and power in the song!! And I love yours reactions as well!
I saw you in a reaction compilation and your energy was absolutely contagious! I love it! Time to watch through a bunch of your reactions! P.s. I also play bass and Iron Maiden was a HUGE influencer for me to start pushing myself! Love this band!
Bruce has a very unique voice. Very different style of singing to most metal singers. He has more of an opera style to it than the shouty style more commonly associated to metal. Personally, I love his voice. His range is wild. But I wouldn't expect everyone to as each to their own 😂 great reaction
I enjoyed your reaction to a song to which i have been listening ever since it was first performed in 1982... your gestures were as genuine as we were then
The most genuine honest insane reactions 😂 i saw one of your video and then i just saw them all i wanna see you goin crazy with Manowar and Nightwish... Greetings from Greece..
Oh my God... I was so scared of this video. That you would, somehow, not be into Iron Maiden. But, as always, it was great to re-live emotions through you. Hearing you say "I'm an Iron Maiden fan" is so... awesome! And how Bruce won you over was amazing. Thank you. That's it. Thank you so much.
This video remind me of the times I was discovering Iron Maiden, back in 2008. I used to watch this live all the time, and it's been like a decade that I haven't watched it. Brought back so many fond memories! Thank you for that! I will definitely watch more of your videos! I love your energy, you are so positive! I will recommend you my 3 top Maiden songs "Revelations" from Piece of Mind album (1983), Infinite Dreams from Seventh Son of the Seventh Son album (1988), and Journeyman from Dance of Death (2003).
Iron Maiden is truly amazing live. They are one of the few bands that sound as good live as they do on their studio albums. If you like Bruce's voice, I suggest some of his solo work. Bruce singing Jerusalem with Ian Anderson playing flute is breathtaking.
