Saw them almost 2 years ago and it's like they have never aged at all, and yes he can still throw that leg up there. The drummer, Niko, had stroke a few months before their last tour that paralyzed his right side. He started aggressive physical therapy and was able to start the tour. These guys are still out there having fun making music and their fans happy.
You are 100% correct. Iron Maiden was always known as a sober band that spent their time perfecting their music instead of drinking and drugging. We can now see how it has paid off for them to still be able to perform at the highest level for over 40+ years. They will go down in history as one of the greatest live bands of all time.
IRON MAIDEN Line-up 2001 Bruce Dickinson: Vocals Dave Murray: Guitars Adrian Smith: Guitars, Backing Vocals Janick Gers: Guitars Steve Harris: Bass, Backing Vocals Nicko McBrain: Drums A couple of days before this show in Brazil, they performed in Chile . I was there!!! Awesome show!!! Cheers from CHILE dear ladies!!!

In my 50's, and I grew up with these guys. In my 50's, and I grew up with these guys. All music has it's place in time, and only those that live it, can truly feel it. Watches a lot of your videos now... so I subscribed. I LIKE IT! My best Iron Maiden song? 'Wasted Years' Because I think at some time or other, we all feel that.
I got to see them on this tour over here in PA. Brave New World Tour. It was when Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith rejoined. What a great show!!! Thanks for doing it!!! 🤘🤘🎸🎸❤️
No wonder you haven't heard this song before. It's as comparatively recent as 1998. Also, it was originally recorded with another singer, Blaze Bayley. Because in 1993, Bruce Dickinson assumed that heavy metal no longer had a future - you may remember the so called "alternative" scene that supposedly reigned supreme at the time - so he left Iron Maiden. He later came to see the error of his ways, and rejoined them in 1999. In the meantime, Iron Maiden had made two albums with Blaze Bayley (who thankfully went on to be a celebrated solo artist), and unlike many bands in a similar situation, there was NO WAY that Iron Maiden was going to let the returning singer ignore their material with another singer. Bassist and main man Steve Harris in particular was adamant about this (and to his credit, Bruce really did not mind). Three songs in particular from these two late 90s albums have remained live favorites to this day. The hit single "Man on the edge", the EPIC "Sign of the cross" - and this song. "The clansman" is yet another example of bassist Steve Harris' songwriting genius and is based on the movie "Braveheart", that had been a massive success three years prior. On another note: yes, guitarist Janick Gers, "Mr Raggedy Jeans" himself, retains, even in his 60s, his amazing agility. Mainly because he's literally unable to play guitar without running around like a madman - one of my sources tells me that he does this even in the studio. And, I bet Donna in particular would be interested to know that his former employer was none other than Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillan. As a matter of fact, the whole of Iron Maiden retain a level of energy onstage that many a younger band would envy them. Not least Steve Harris himself, who at his most recent trip to Sweden Rock Festival (only last year) played one concert with his hobby band, got off stage to play soccer for hours, slept on the tour bus and woke up the next day to kick ass for a whole two and a half hour set with Iron Maiden. Steve is not only an iconic role model for all us bass players, he's also one of the most tireless, relentless rock'n'roll people there ever was.
This concert has two songs from the Blaze Bailey era; this and 'Sign of the Cross'. Bruce absolutely crushes both. Now Blaze Bailey seems like a genuinely nice man and was given an opportunity that no sane person would ever turn down, but he simply was NOT the right choice to replace Bruce. The only person who could have done it was (allegedly) Steve's original choice, Damien Wilson.
That is such a weird way to spin this?! '' Because in 1993, Bruce Dickinson assumed that heavy metal no longer had a future - you may remember the so called "alternative" scene that supposedly reigned supreme at the time - so he left Iron Maiden. He later came to see the error of his ways, and rejoined them in 1999. '' Yeah, he has one alternative-ish album, I'll grant that, but come on.. to frame his entire solo stint like this?
band was born drummer 1952, singer in 58 and rest 1956 and 57 so they were in their 40s in 2001. still playing. singer out with the mandrake project just turned 66.
Its just to continue with the rest of the songs from that same concert. Rock In Rio 2001. "2 Minutes to Midnight" for example. Or "Sign of the Cross". A long one but some really nice guitar solos.
Ha ha, its Nicko McBrain the funny guy behind the drums dancing 😅 I saw Iron Maiden 15 years ago live at Ullevi arena in Gothenburg, Sweden together with 60 000 fans, a great memory for life. ❤
@@The_Stranger1986 How come you did that? I traveled from the north part of sweden, 200 km above the polarcircle all the way down to Gothenburg. It took a whole day, but it was worth it no doubt.
@@Northman-from-the-North I just go to any Maiden show I can when it's convenient lol. Plus I love travelling so Sweden was another country to tick off the list 🤘
Hi! Nice reaction again :) Have you considered reacting to some Maiden live performance in 2020's? They still sound pretty good nowadays. I would recommend some live performance of a song Alexander the Great. They played that song live last year first time ever and it was released 1986. Awesome song!
The lyrics for 'The Clansman' were inspired by the Mel Gibson movie 'Braveheart'... based on the life of Scottish knight Sir William Wallace, who led the Scottish clans to revolt against the British rule of the cruel English King Edward I in the first war for Scotland's independence in the late 1200's.
@@davidharrison6913 I'm a writer, magoo. Just cos u like to tear down people to make yo self feel better... u will always be the gross troll under the bridge 👎🤮
I've always considered this the go to modern Iron Maiden performance. Now I'm feeling nauseous from the rapid passing of time since you pointed out that this is 23 old now!
Y'all need to watch their documentary IRON MAIDEN: FLIGHT 666. It's very good, very entertaining and very informative. You will see them in a way that might even catch you off guard, but in a good way! 👍
Hello beautiful Texas ladies what can you say more about iron maiden they are just great performers and I enjoy you watching all their videos so far and Kathy if you could throw your leg up for our subscribers like the iron maiden guitarist that would be so awesome but well maybe afterwards your mom and dad would have to take you to the hospital lol. A boom . Wintersun Alex in Texas ❄️♥️♥️♥️
The studio version of 'The Clansman' by Iron Maiden was sung in 1998 by singer Blaze Bayley on the maligned album 'Virtual XI'... Bayley replaced Bruce Dickinson (vocals) after he quit the band in 1993... but Maiden fans hated the gruff vocal delivery of Blaze Bayley and Iron Maiden's record sales and concert attendance suffered between 1995 to 1998. In 1999, Iron Maiden were left w/ no choice but to fire Blaze Bayley and offered Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith to reunite w/ the band for a tour and the new album 'Brave new world' in 2000... This performance in 2001 was filmed at Rock in Rio festival in Brazil. Bruce Dickinson has sung Iron Maiden songs in concert recorded originally by vocalist Paul Di'Anno... like - 'Wrathchild' ... 'Running free' ... 'Iron Maiden' ... 'Killers'... etc. And he had no problem singing some of Blaze Bayley's Maiden songs, like - 'The Clansman'... 'Man on the edge'... 'Futureal'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
This reaction was so weird, lol. The one in the middle isn't impressed by anything, just a blank stare...theres like a freaking I Love Lucy skit going on behind you all. But the two on the ends really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant This Song Is a Classic as Is This Performance From Iron Maiden You Need To React To Sign Of The Cross From This Same Show Another Epic From Maiden Great Reaction As Always 👍👏🥰
I farted at an Iron Maiden concert once (only the once mind) many years ago. It was so bad (good) even Iron Maiden smelled it. I was in row B between Dave Murray (the blonde headed chap) and Bruce (the singer). I was very pleased, but most of the people around me weren't very happy and some said some unpleasant things to me as I waved it about (I think they were very rude). Even Iron Maiden themselves looked rather disgruntled. But at least they weren't rude to me like the audience members was.
u need to start with the best rapper ever 2 pac dear mama and brendas got a baby then i will give u more i am 1000 pct sure u will like his songs @@KathyLuluandDonna u
There was another reaction channel who reacted to this song a couple years ago, husband and wife, african-american, and the wife would not react to this song once she heard the title because she assumed the song was about the klan, and not a man from a clan. I never watched that channel again because of that fool.
