From somewhere in time. One of their best albums and special to me. When I was going to the record store to buy it back in the day I found their last copy. I grabbed it just before another person was about to grab it. When i looked at her I saw such dissapointment in her eyes so I gave her the copy. Since that day i saw her everyday. We were never apart. Spent so much time on festivals and concerts. we saw them all more or less. The great bands. The last Iron maiden song she heard was Heaven can wait. But she is there now and I miss her. Thanks for this. Great memories.
@@rofl0rblades You and me both man. I have so many great memories coupled with Maiden solos. The Dance Of Death solo is another one that is so awesome just like Stranger in a strange land. I mean just that album alone has Caught somewhere in time, Wasted years, Sea of madness and Alexander the great. All of them with amazing solos Something magical happens when Adrian Smith and Dave Murray play together, and it is enhanced with Janick Gers playing rhythm when they are playing live
One of the best guitar solos I ever heard, underrated song from an underrated album, I had that record in cassette back in 1986, its been a wonderful journey been a Maiden fan all these years 🤘
@@toddgarber988 you are talented for sure . Adrian Smith is pretty amazing. You knows that now is over his autobiography Monsters of River and Rock ahahah . Also ironic
They caught a lot of crap critics saying this album wasn't as good as Powerslave or Peice of Mind , 20 years later Iron Maiden is still relevant without a ton of radio play🤯
I was playing this one day and my wife who doesn't know Maiden that well asked if it was a Greatest Hits album because every song was so good... I was so proud. :)
I’m old enough and was lucky enough to see this concert in El Paso, Texas. It was absolutely mind blowing. It’s stuck with me after all these years. Maiden in their prime were unparalleled. 👍
Bruce Dickinson is one of the great storytellers. Even though he is singing over a metal band you can hear every word and his face tells the story. Iron Maiden are really like a modern day opera with the musical and vocals working together to create an ambience to fit the story. Unmatched in my honest opinion.
7:04 Steve Harris (bassist) is the song writer and lyricist in the majority of Maiden's music, the other band members talk about how he whistles the music so they can get an idea of how they go (the songs)
This whole album, Somewhere In Time, was my first experience with Iron Maiden and from that day on made them my all time favorite band. Songs on it like one are a prime example of why. This album just blew my mind like no album has done ever since.
Bruce Dickinson was an nationally ranked fencer in the UK. He also was the pilot for the bands 747 aircraft Ed Force One until a few years ago. He has more skills than merely tossing that mic stand. :)
Takes me back to when I was 16…. Memories of this on cassette on my Walkman, cue in hand setting off for the walk to the club for a pool match. Maiden accompanying me through the night…..
When you don't need the money ..the stress .. the accolades ..attention and fame ..u only do it because you love with everything u have what you do and who u do it for.. ..everything else is secondary .. ...as always love you guys X
There's a reason why this band gather people from a wide range of ages .... they are unique and awesome and always, ALWAYS delivering live, long live the Irons !
My first concert was Iron Maiden on 20th April 1982 in Hannover/Germany. I will never forget this date. Iron Maiden is the best Metal Band of all time. I saw them so many times. I am happy born in 1970 an see the Bands in the 80s.
You both are fantastic, you complement each other, and you gave my ultimate Hero’s absolute justice in your reaction, Travis and SuzyQ your channel is 2nd to none 💯🤘💯
I remember when this came out to in 86, what an amazing album and amazing time in life for them and myself, this entire album brings back so many good memories. Thank you both very much. Sincerely Lorenzo gig harbor Washington.
Musicians in maiden are phenomenal, just out of this world talent and ability. Priest too..... they are neck n neck in terms of showmanship, talent, ability, hard work, chops, everything
Very much enjoy your Maiden reactions. Brings those of us way older than you back to the concert days in the 80s when these guys set the bar so high by the end of the decade. In case not mentioned already, this was the album recording performed in front of a live audience at a sound stage in the UK. Not something Maiden liked to do but agreed to it for this single. But as you can see, they made a strong effort to mask it and give the feel of a live performance. Played live very infrequently.
4:00 yes guys, and speaking of how each of them gives one hundred and ten percent in each presentation, did you know that Nico (the drummer) does not stop screaming when he plays the drums? He is amazing! Up the Irons !!!
fyi: if you have a song you want them to react to, youll probably have to pay for them to do it. thats what theyre doing right now to pay the bills. theres a link in the description
ADRAN SMITH IS THE KING OF FEELING IN HIS GUITAR SOLO .... GUYS, I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS, I SEND YOU A VERY AFFECTIVE GREETING FROM THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD CALLED CHILE !!!!!!!!!
fan inconditionnel de Iron Maiden depuis un des tout premier album killers jusque a aujourd'hui , j adore votre duos tout les deux continuer comme ca j adore merci du partage ci pouviez la prochaine fois mettre le titre flight of icarus
Saw this tour in 1986 was only 19 was amazing had a disposable camera still got few good pictures was few rows from front got on mantelpiece next to my Freddie Mercury picture 😃🤟
Sheffield 1986 i remember it well was in that crowd it's great to see you both react to this one it's iconic & these guys are still going after 45 years love it UP THE IRONS wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I remember when this came out but over the years, for some reason, they removed the sound of the audience. That's what made this a great piece: hearing the excitement of the crowd jamming with the band.
Love Maiden have since 82' ( I was 9 when I first heard them back then). I have been playing guitar since then as well and I always felt more connected to Adrian than Dave, Dave is amazing, but Adrians tone, his playing, his writing.. This song is one of the reasons why I love Adrian.. One of the best solo's ever...
The meaning behind the song. In the 19th Century the British sent the HMS Terror to explore the Arctic, it vanished and no one knew what happened to it. In the 80s they found a frozen mummy of a sailor who looked like he had died just weeks ago.
0'52" Suzi Up the Irons !! Ahahahahah Beast Time . Respect to Mr McBrain that in this days plays Drum after an Aneurism in January . Love this Stuff and this Two reacting . The transition before Guitar solo is pretty insane . The Bass Line guys is unbelievable . So atmospheric and futuristic
Guys keep an eye , after the solo that’s the stage inflating . Nico the drummer ends up on top of Eddie’s head!! Awesome ! .... that solo yo!!!! Up the irons🤘🏻
Great reaction and a great song. My personal favourite guitar solos from Iron Maidenare from my favourite song of theirs, "Wasted years". They are epic. If you haven't heard that song yet, you really should react to it!
If you'd notice that they've never dummied down there performance no matter what country that they're in they don't cheapen it because of what country that they're in, it's a 💯 percent no matter how rich or poor the country is.!
What can I say but So Good,been a Maiden fan since the 80's and they are still a great live band, you both rock, love your channel and I'll have to start watching all your videos not just the songs I know,lol🤘
These guys are so fan good. I've been listening two these guys for forty years. They just don't stop. This is what you get when you have 3 virtuosos at first and maybe the smartest and most talented front man ever. Besides freddie mercury. I love these guys
If you loved Bruce's performance on this song then maybe you guys should definitely check his vocals on Flight Of Icarus.........Another adn truly amazing vocal performance to say the least.....Also another great Adrian Smith Solos would be off of The Somewhere in Time Album.......the song is called Wated Years where you will get to see howw Bruce gets his moves when he is shown in the video doing some fencing.
Seeing your outstanding reactions, with great humility towards this Metal Monster, puts a tear of emotion in my eyes !! ... and by the way, Up the Irons !!. Salute you from Argentina
Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son both had significant contribution from Adrian Smith. Lyrics and guitar wise. But, Somewhere in Time is where he peaked in both aspects imho. Till date, it’s my favorite IM album. Every song is a masterpiece. Adrian’s solos just takes you places!
80s were Maidens best decade for me, sound still raw metal but melodic before 90s technology came into all music via better electronics, amps, sound mixing etc
Seeing that you are going down the Iron Maiden rabbit hole I suggest that you read "What does this button do?" by Bruce Dickinson. It provides amazing insight into the band.
1986, the year of synth guitar for Maiden and Priest. It mixes in pretty well and makes for an interesting overall guitar tone. It's all over this album as well as Priest's Turbo.
I bought this album on vinyl when it came out, just so I could really get a good look at all the artwork and pick out all the details and references. I spent hours looking at it. Then I bought the cassette. 🤣
