They have many other long songs with more transitions, tempo-changes: - Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - Phantom Of The Opera - Hallowed Be Thy Name - Dance Of Death - Fear Of The Dark - Alexander The Great - Sign Of The Cross - The Clansman - The Nomad - Powerslave - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son - When The Wild Wind Blows - Paschendale - Afraid To Shoot Strangers - Blood Brothers (this is kind of a ballad but still)
I totally respect your opinion and enjoyed the video! But if you dive into the 70s and 80s you’ll see how diverse the vocalists really are. For example, Bruce Dickinson vs Rob Halford vs Ozzy vs Dio vs Chuck Schuldiner are all quite different:)!
Yeah I agree. I think they only sound the same to the uninitiated. I understand where they are coming from but to be fair most 80's bands did NOT sound like Halford or Dickinson.
Infinite Dreams - Iron Maiden. That song is one of Maiden's most epic, and is a little different, with many transitions, and without an actual chorus. It's part of their acclaimed 1988 concept-album called "Seventh Son of A Seventh Son."
I grew up with Iron Maiden! :D _Caught Somewhere In Time_ was made at a time when they were introducing more synthesizers to their songs. The solo that comes in when the camera got cut off was played by Adrian Smith, who is my favourite guitarist and always comes up with the most memorable solos. You would like _Alexander the Great._ It is one of their most progressive songs and either hasn't been played live ever, or in a very long time.
They are a Nice mix. While Adrian is the more bluesy type, Dave is more the fast arpeggio type.. But agree: Adrians are the best. Love Stranger in a stranger land.
Still the best band in the world. :D You have a long long way to go there are soooo many great songs . Next try "Hallowed Be Thy Name". Thumps up for you.
First off, this is music and singing. Unlike the non talent in signing found so often in todays music. Iron Maiden music is a journey as well as thier lyrics. Something else that is lost in todays music. It is obvious from the deer in the headlight stares that you both dont really quit get it. Thats ok, its not for everyone. Up The Irons! By the way, yes, i am a huge Tool, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle fan. Cheers!
I've never clicked on a video so fast. 😁 Ow, that song you guys were wondering about would be Teenage Dirtbag, by Wheatus. A fun song to listen to, by the way.
Best band of all time, best album of all time... That guitar "stuff" you refer to at the beginning... In real music like this... It's called melody and harmony... (And they are the best at it) Consider that your 1st music lesson from a guitar teacher like me... :) and yes there is solos later in the song too...
One reason the pace of the music is fast is because the main writer of most of Maiden's music is done by their awesome bassist, the one and only Mr Steve Harris, who writes with his bass, and he isn't a philistine with a plectrum, he's major old school who multi-finger plucks his bass, he's *the* man! Up The Irons 🤘🏼
@@CampSiteVlogs It isn't, it's actually based on the 1979 science-fiction movie Time After Time, directed by Star Trek writer Nicholas Meyer and starring Malcolm McDowell as H.G. Wells and David Warner as Jack the Ripper. The movie is about travelling in time. In it Jack the Ripper steals H.G Wells time machine and Wells has to follow him through time to try to stop him from all kinds of mischief. In the song the devil is tempting Jack the Ripper.
Some of the songs by Iron Maiden that I think would be fun to react to are Number of the Beast, Powerslave, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Aces High, Holy Smoke, Childhood's End...
If you liked this song, you should listen to the entire album that this song is from (Somewhere in time). IMO all the songs on that album holds the same level, and I always listen to that record as one single experience. I often use it when going to sleep, and this song (the opening song on the album) instantly brings me back in time to when I was a teenager, some 30 years ago :) As for Iron Maiden beeing into demons, I'd say that they primarily are about storytelling. They usually get a hang-up on some historical event, or some mythical event, and makes a song about (Like Aces High, The trooper, Tailgunner, Alexander the Great, The rime of the Ancient mariner, etc) Other Iron Maiden songs sounds very different, but are of course also cool. Personally, I'd consider listening to 22.acacia avenue, Aces High, The rime of the ancient mariner, The number of the beast and Hallowed be thy name first. -and if you want to listen to somthing entirely different that I'm completely absrbed by theese days, try this link :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QRg_8NNPTD8.html
The Uktu named some good ones👍 but I want to add some more, these are not so popular, but I think that they are really great: -empire of the Clauds(18 min! Just beautiful) -the trooper(must!) -the book of souls -ghost of the navigator -the legacy -no more lies -if eternity should fail -speed of light For the next time try the live version:) There is many more and I honestly think that you should listen all of the albums, but you know... there are 16 of them;)
Iron maiden is a metal band that transcends time. There musicianship is impeccable. Bruce and Harrys are amazing when it comes to writing lyrics. Unlike other metal bands (like metallica) Maiden has always stay true to their sound. Up the irons!!!
Eddie isn't a zombie just a character born from a joke, it became Iron Maidens mascot. You should tell your mother she has it the wrong way round?? It's a genre that goes there.. it's a subject matter nothing more nothing less... what astonishes me is she believes in the devil??? It's myth and legend.. stuff of fairy tales.. Iron Maiden tell's stories through song, and no it isn't always about the devil, flight of Icarus obviously isn't about the devil, Revelations obviously isn't about the devil so don't get carried away with that one..
Maiden's sings are all journeys. Tough to find a bad song from them but my favorites would be anything off the three straight albums of Powerslave, Somewhere In Time, and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.
i really like you two and the music you're selecting. i'm not old, but much older than you. i don't try to be preachy, but i like to "help" younger people get a feel for some of this classic music you are discovering. just FYI about Iron Maiden, a couple of the guys in the band (guitarists) long before they put their 1st album out were very fond of a band from England called "Wishbone Ash". That is where they developed their "harmonic twin guitar sound". Give Wishbone a try. not nearly as heavy as Maiden, but rocking it out since about 1969. Start with their 1974 album, "There's the Rub" to 1980's "Just Testing" (Laurie Wisefield guitar period). Not for everybody but most of it is rock solid. their guitar work is second to none. some beautiful songs in there. cheers from canada.
@@soundcreeps5371, cheers for even knowing who Wishbone are. they are definitely an underheard, underrated niche band. the album you speak of probably came from the mid 80's to 2000. (i can't be bothered to look it up) I don't listen to much of them past '82. However , Andy Powell has kept the name and still tours today with different musicians of course. check out any of the "Live Dates" concert dvds from about the '90's(?) to today. they mostly only do earlier '70's and 80's stuff. the sound and the video quality are top notch. it's a lot of fun. cheers
Are there two guitars in this band you're asking... if you listen closely right at the beginning you can tell that the two guitars are playing the melody and one has a different tone than the other you can distinguish the two guitars but you have to pay close attention. oh yeah and what most people call a solo is really a lead and this song has two long leads with two different guitars playing each one
One thing you will notice about maiden, is how many different songs people will suggested for you to react to. That in it self is confirmation of their greatness.
Without any lyrical interpretation, it's a great song. This is my favorite album. I did just look up what the meaning is, though. This is what I found. This song was inspired by the 1979 movie Time After Time. In that movie, H.G. Wells pursues a friend who turns out to be Jack The Ripper, and he claims sanctuary in a world of violence which he calls his natural habitat, hence "If I said I'd take you there, would you go, would you be scared?" I don't know if it's true, but it seems to make sense. I have seen the movie, and it's good. Check it out. Many times, like with music, you have to go backward to find good movies.
srry dude you look like morning Joe lol, but liked your reaction.gotta love the kick drums and Steve Harris.i play bass 38 years now and love playing Maiden
I love this song, and the whole album is great! Here's a suggestion: Have you heard of BABYMETAL? They are a Japanese band consisting of three (at least until recently) young girls and some of the best Metal musicians Japan has to offer. Their genre Kawaii Metal is a combination of Metal and J-Pop. It sounds weird (and it is, to be honest), but they make it work perfectly. And they are phenomenal live band. If you are intrigued and open for something unique and different, please give it a try. This is a song called "Megitsune": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dU38CYkpBvI.html. Thank you!
MUST start Maiden with Hallowed Be Thy Name. this song has always been filler for me. Eddie is the mascot they preferred to use him on covers than photos of themselves. there is nothing satanic about Maiden, other songs literally address the "glory of god" and lessons of morality. Maiden is always theatrical and very literal. they basically tell stories based on history, myths, poems, novels, religion, politics, movies (dune and blade runner for examples). 2 lead guitarists originally, now 3 all share solo duties (some awesome solos throughout the years). live shows are pretty epic as they engage the audience and are very energetic and in some cases sound better than studio versions. also, still performing.
Maiden rules! ✌️ react to Arch Enemy - Nemesis if you want to hear an classic within the Melodic Death metal genre 🙂 they were one of first band who used an female singer growler.
Heavy Metal artists of the 80s sing all the same? OK, that's absolutely not true, I guess you have to dig more in there. And probably is Tool that makes long compositions like Iron Maiden, they came a bit later... and Eddie is not a demon, he actually slays the Beast more than once. Here Eddie is a character that travels in time probably, as you can see also form the art work of the LP.
lol “they were a really popular band”. Bruce’s voice is one of a kind...def doesn’t sound like any of his contemporaries but I can see what you’re saying man.
It’s funny that you say Bruce’s voice is similar to the 80s bands’ singer! Lol! Like, are you really know what are you talking about! I doubt! You may like it or not, but your statement is simply simplistic, artificial and wrong simply! Up the Irons!
