Iron Maiden (The Number of the Beast) Kel-n-Rich's first reaction 

This is the album that started it all for me. Before that nothing started. My chainsaw no start.. my mower no start. When this album came out now it starts. This album is that powerful. It kick started my life.

Better late then never. Welcome to the Iron Maiden family. UP THE IRONS!!!

this is the album that started it for me...

My wife and I have been together for 33 tears, married 25 this year! You two have an awesome relationship... I can tell there is real love there. Keep each other happy in the mind, in the heart, and in the bed!!!

MAAAAIIIIDDDEEENNNN!!! Good choice. Heck, they're all good choices. Up the Irons!!!✌

When this LP came out, it was super-anticipated because of the vocalist change. We weren't disappointed when the needle on the turntable dropped. Excellent!

Bruce Bruce has always had such amazing stage presence, not to mention that air-raid warning scream. Yeah, this album was a constant on my record player when it came out, and drove my reggae-blues-orchestral loving parents bonkers. They couldn't wrap their heads around why I liked them so much, but it was everything... the look, the sound, the sheer fun of it all. Going to see them this summer, just like y'all (my... 3rd time? 4th time? I can't remember anymore), and I'll be screaming my fool head off. Up the Irons!

I was never a Maiden fan when I was younger. They are one of my favs as I've gotten older.

I saw all 4 shows of Live After Death in Long Beach California in 1985! It was epic!!! UP THE IRONS 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥

Fun fact the devil in the vid is their future drummer nikko mcbrain

Iron Maiden is another band my dad got me into in the late 70s and early 80s before I started my own record collection. Number Of The Beast, Metallica's Kill 'Em All and AC/DC's For Those About To Rock were three of the first albums I ever bought.

You 2 have a wonderful night. I have to head to work. Looking forward to tomorrow's songs. ✌

The look on Kel's face when Bruce ripped that 1st scream was priceless LOL

El disco que cambió la adolescencia de toda una generación mundial , run to the Hills es también genial , gran video enhorabuena.

the whole album was fantastic. you guys inspired me to go back and listen to it again. thank you!

I was 17 when this came out, when this first came on MTV it was stunning, I already had seen the Killers tour , Bruce upped the game.

OMG! Did you guys go to the show in Atlanta in July of 2019??? I took my kids and girlfriend to their first Iron Maiden concert (my kids FIRST concert ever!) at that show! It was an amazing experience for all of us! I had only seen them live twice before, but this was a perfect first Maiden concert to go to. Before this, and since, my kids are always asking to listen to Maiden in the car. So fun! #ironmaiden

As a 54 year old, I saw this tour at 17, '82. I also saw Killers, the arc from Killers too this album cannot be over emphasized. They became a phenomon. The stage presence was un paralleled.

Kevin from St. Louis. You two have the best reactions. Thank you again for sharing.

Hell Yeah ...Maiden are One of The Best.... #IronMaiden "To Tame A Land" "Phantom of The Opera" Las Vegas

This song pretty much got me into Metal. My older brother had this album and listened to it alot back then. Metalhead from Sweden. #Sabaton The lion from the north #Manowar Black wind, fire and Steel #InFlames Where the dead ships dwell #Candlemass The well of souls #Mustasch I hunt alone #LynyrdSkynyrd Free bird #Gojira L'enfant sauvage #BlueÖysterCult (Don't fear) The Reaper Really enjoy your reactions. Keep on keeping on.

Saw them in 1985 in Houston ...beer...etc....Volkswagon van on Powerslave tour....Awesome and I dont have to use a hearing aid to hear it....👴

I've been looking for TNOTB reactions for so long, and there aren't a lot, I'm so glad to find this one, and from you guys.

My brother always had maiden blasting out around the neighborhood. Pissed off some people. 😅 First metal band I ever listen to. Thanks Vince for making me a metalhead 🤘😯 WOOOOOOO!!!!!

Good song. Kixxx azzzz....you’re gonna love Maiden live!!! Seen em 6 times & they were badassss EVERY TIME!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I like your videos. You actually listen to the song straight through without stopping it every 30 seconds to give a long dialogue. Bravo!

Real metalheads hearing rock and metal. You got my attention, thanks

My mom bought this album for me, for my 14th birthday. Can you imagine, a then 50 year old woman, going into a record store and asking for this album? The guy that sold it to her thought she was crazy. This song was Iron Maiden's answer to all the people saying that metal was all about devil worship. This is back when people were playing records backwards to find hidden messages. Bruce said they wrote this song, as a tongue in cheek response to all the hype.

Dude you guys have shot up like 3k subs or more since I joined. Keep rockin' and loving each other. It's beautiful and the world needs more of that.

The first song I heard of iron maiden been a big fan since seen them three times now live awesome live

I saw Iron Maiden live in the early nineties in Providence, R.I. Me and my Spanish roommate drove from Boston to see this amazing band. Notice that in the early videos there's only 2 guitarists but today they're three. When the band "separated" Bruce Dickinson and one of the guitarists left. When they reunited, Bruce and the original guitarist plus the "replacement" guitarist that stayed on. Makes for an excellent sound when those three guitars play the riffs together, in sync, in chorus. Amazing stuff.

Saw these guys in Los Angeles Sports Arena, early eighties. Girl-school opened, Scorpions were next and Maiden rocked a very happy crowd!

Great reaction as always !! Keep going kel n rich 😉 !! Thanks for the videos. Always happy to check new reactions from you 😉

The spoken part at the beginning is the version of Revelations that was printed in the novel The Omen it isn't exactly the same text as the bible ,but very close.

Fun Fact : That primal scream Bruce does (at the beginning of the song) is the result of absolute frustration after the bazillionth take of recording the song. Take after take after take, something would go wrong - one of the guys messed up, technical problem, etc. It got to the point where Bruce finally lost his patience and let out that scream - and as luck would have it, the tape was still rolling, and after playing it back, decided it was too cool not to use. Spontaneous+Unintented=EPIC.

What a blast of a track! Awesome! 🤘👍

you are very welcome to the Iron's heaven much obliged. i bow to your love between yourselves most people don't find that so well done enjoy your love for each other

Yet again, another great review. The Alan Parsons Project is gonnae blow your minds.

This song introduced me to metal, haven't turned back since.

There is a band that is not on many reaction channels' radars but they are one of the most respected progressive metal bands and they've been around for a long time. They're called Pain of Salvation and they're fronted by amazing vocalist/composer/band leader, Daniel Gildenlow. I recommend the song King of Loss. You may just fall in love and turn your viewers on to something "new".

You've brought a huge smile to my face again guys. You have so many classic treasures to discover for the first time. I envy you. #IronMaiden two minutes to midnight Melbourne Australia.

seen them for the first time in 84 powerslave tour i was 15 yrs.old im 51 today ..."up the irons"

The interesting thing about this album and particularly this video is, it was drummer Clive Burr's last album with Maiden. Their current drummer Nicko McBrain, is the guy in the devil costume.

I remember about 10 years ago I randomly bought Maiden's greatest hits album on a whim, even though I didn't really know any of their songs. I was totally blown away by it.

Injoy the show. I flew my son into Detroit from Walla Walla Washington and I drove into Detroit to meet him at the airport from Baltimore MD. I got pictures of Ed Force One. Awesome show. Awesome band. Awesome time with my son.

What a band, what a song, and what a crazy ass video - saw them in Bristol in the UK on that tour, my second Maiden gig, and much as i liked Paul D'ianno i was an instant Bruce convert, although it took a while to get used to calling him Bruce Dickinson, in his previous band (Samson) he was known as Bruce Bruce, probably in honour of the Monty Python Bruce's sketch. Anyway, top reaction again guys 🤘

You give me goose bumps watching you two

Harris is a great song writer and just kicks ass on bass. One of the coolest dudes ever.

The robotic is called: Eddie and he is Iron Maiden’s mascot!

I had trouble getting into Maiden at first, but my roommate had Piece of Mind, which we played nearly every night along with Metallica Ride the lightning. Then Powerslave came out and I was hooked. Then I went back and started listening to their older stuff and became a true fan since the mid 80s. Amazing performers. Great reaction as usual.

I saw them in concert 1982 12th row just left of center. When "Eddie" came out he was over the crowd he was right over my head! It was awesome!

#MetalChickPick Sign of the Cross rock in Rio 2001. Musicianship-A+.👍

Appetite for destruction was the first rock album i ever heard which i pinched from my sister and changed my life but will always love Maiden

Oh, I got a GREAT suggestion for you guys....I'll submit it through the website....cover of this song by an amaaaaazing artist!

Yeah! Love these Maiden reactions you do! 🤘(must expand my bands that I watch here, but got limited time right now). I had a glance to see if anyone had already said, but couldn't see anything about the background of this song. Which I think is funny, since they got slammed as "Devil worshippers"! The narrative is in fact based on an old Scottish (my main haunting ground!) poet, Robert Burns, called "Tam 'O Shanter". While the 666 chorus comes from them all having gone to see the "Omen 2" together, the other night.... Awww! Also,I'm a sucker for old horror and sci-fi movies, so love all the clips -I love how they even got Godzilla in there at the beginning, and he seemed to explode! Metal! So looking fwd to hearing how the concert goes, have a wonderful time, and thank you both for the great videos. -Owen

Guys you are going to be floored, they need to be experienced live. I am going to see them the first week of August, it will be my 7th time seeing them can't wait. It the best of the Beasts.

I listed to this on cassette so much when I was a teenager, I knew the words to every song on it as well as wearing out out at least 2 cassette tapes. A timeless classic to be sure. :)

Yeah Maiden was one of the first bands I ever got into back in the 80's and this was the tune I heard first from them and I was hooked from the start!, Just an amazing band that stands the test of time to rock our ass off. Cheers and rock ya later!

Up the Irons! 🤘This is the song that introduced me to Iron Maiden.

Run To The Hills. Yeah they have better songs but it's fun. And yes it's great live. And yes it brings the house down live. And yes this song and album took then to another level. Ok it is my favorite Maiden song. I love the rolling thunder of it like a horse running full speed.

The first band I saw as a kid, Glasgow Apollo 1983, world piece tour as a 14 YO .... number of the beast is one of my top 3 all time albums

LOVE IT !! great reaction again. This was always been one of my top maiden songs. Plus the video was awesome. #ironmaiden bring your daughter to the slaughter Fernie British Columbia canada UP THE IRONS! !! to all

That is one of my favorite albums of all time.

You two are such a great couple. If you ever need a 3rd...

Oh and Bruce’s scream at the beginning is called the Greatest Scream in Metal History.

Bruce's scream at the beginning, and i was hooked for life!!

I love what you guys are doing! Keep up the good work! #MercifulFate Curse of the Pharoahs

Most famous song and album, what Iron maiden ever put out actually, also has evil reputation but thats why i admire this so much.

That song is amazing live !!!

I was 10 in the studio on set when this was filmed in hammersmith odeon London my uncle was a set designer its a special vid :)

Iron Maiden is one of the best bands ever, I’ve seen them 2 times and going to see them in Phoenix in September. My whole bedroom is Iron Maiden, in the fan club. Up the Irons forever. 🤘🙌🏻💜😘😍🥰🤗

MTV Head Bangers Ball. Loved that show.

Just found your channel a couple days ago and i already watched all your iron maiden reactions, awesome reactions and great channel. I really recommend you reacting to The Evil That Men Do, probably my favorite Maiden song. 😎👍🏻

Loved it when it was new still loving it

will always be amazed how many reacters love Maiden and get tickets to go to one of their shows. They're probably the biggest secret band in the world.

You guys are in for a great show, I have seen them a lot of times ,each time is great.

Is metal a tribute to Iron Maiden?

'82 is right. The Number of the Beast album. It contains "Run to the Hills", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", "The Prisoner", "22 Acacia Avenue" (which is Charlotte the Harlot Part II) and ofc the title track.

I am nearly 30 and have been hearing heavy metal for basically all 30. And I have still never heard a better heavy metal scream than this.

“Power and fun” you nailed it, Rich. Just enjoyable 😊

I used to have the album on vinyl and gave it away, with other metal albums, to a mate who was starting to get into the genre around 1990 when I was wandering away from it. Other music was capturing my imagination. I still have the songs pop into my head from time to time but I haven’t heard Number of the Beast since then. Another piece of vinyl I gave away to my mate was Dark Side of the Moon. I regret that one!

Thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.....both..... Well done.... good feeling right ? test Run to the Hills... i think u appreciate !!! See soon

On "The Island of Right" "Number of the beast" thunders through headphones. In my opinion this was their best song outside Run to the Hills. Both on the Number of the best CD if you can still get it. Also has Children of the Dammed (very cool song)

Great song. I'm not a very good guitar player, but the main riff in this song is one of my favorites to play. Just love that sound... Enjoy the concert, I saw them a few years ago with Coheed & Cambria and it was a great show. In terms of putting on a show, they're among the best for sure. I find myself continually commenting on the amazing musicianship of each band, but these guys are right up there among the best.

I remember finishing school and rushing straight to Our Price records to get this album on the day it was released. Wowzer, what an album it is.

I seen them in 1986 in Battle Creek Michigan great concert

#chickpick Basque Country. 2xPOWERWOLF #Powerwolf Killers with the cross yesterday at the supermarket with my headphones on I just realized I was moving my hips when a man looked at me smiling #Powerwolf Incense and iron. BOTH CATCHY AS HELL!!!

i saw that concert my second concert ever number of the beast tour with scorpioms black out tour and girlschool tripping hard on lsd one of the best concert i ever saw lol

This one was inspired by the classic Horror flick Damian Omen 1 - Came our in 1982 so almost 40 years The Bass player Steve Harris had a nightmare after watching the movie and wrote this Awesome Track Iron Maiden Forever 🤘🤘

Great job guys !

Yes Rich and Kel you are gonna enjoy their show. I expected since the 80's to see them live until they came to my country 2 years ago. I did not drink much so I did not miss a single second of the show. Now they are on tour Im expecting to see them again! Now I only wish to se Tom G Warrior and Sodom and Im completly satisfied. Do this song, I think none of the others doing reactions have done it yet. #ironmaiden Total Eclipse

Welcome to the family. UP THE IRONS!

I love it when you Iron things out.

i guarantee lots of fun they are awesome live! ive seen them

Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden / O'Keefe Music Foundation

I don’t think there’s a better scream in metal than the one In the beginning of Number of the Beast

Nice reaction...best metal band

I would not want to be Bruce's throat at the end of a 42 gig world tour when he sings this every night !!!

I love their pulsating lights. It's worth the risk of inducing a seizure.

#motorhead ace of spades #fastway Feel Me, Touch Me (Do Anything You Want), Don't Stop The Fight, If you could see, the last two take me back to my teen years and have meaning still to me.
