Awesome Reaction To Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of A Seventh Son

[@MlSHKlN]

think you meant to match up that part of megadeth "return to hangar" with the part that happens at 9:40 in "seventh son"(timestamp for this reaction video) never noticed that before but what i did notice was if you listen to "the prophecy" from this same album at 2:23 the rhythm guitar behind the solo is the same as the solo in "hanger 18" which, interestingly, also starts at 2:23 i think its safe to say that mustaine was inspired by this album considering this

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

YES!!!!! Thank you for this !

[@ReasonableRam]

Really good ear. There was definitely inspiration even if they aren't identical. "The Prophecy" backing rhythm goes "D5 - Eb5 - G5 - D5" while the backing in "Hangar 18" is an arpeggiation that goes "F5 - G5 - F5 - E5". Very different but similar sounding.

I dedicated Heaven can wait to my son that was born with a heart defect the doctors didn't notice. Had him home 2 weeks before we noticed something wrong, and spent the next month and a half pretty much living at the hospital, while he was fighting for his life. 19 years later and he's a grown man I'm proud of, but that song was my spiritual fight song for him.

What I love about Maiden in the abstract is that they write and sound mentally mature, whereas some other metal bands are quite juvenile in their content. Because of this, I'm still listening to and loving maiden 35+ years after discovering them. Some of the other bands? No so much.

[@michaellambert5223]

Wow, great analysis. I went to middle school and high school in the 90's. Surrounded by hordes of alternative rock, grunge and hip-hop fans, I was a lone voice in the wilderness declaring the greatness of Iron Maiden. It's really interesting to see how so many people, especially younger people, are discovering them now. Catching Maiden on the radio used to be like a UFO sighting when I was growing up, it was enough to drive me into a furor in those rare instances that it was played. I loved your thoughtful description of what makes this song work and why Maiden is so good and it was great to see the enthusiasm of a (relatively) new fan. Up the Irons!

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

I can imagine a 10 minute song on the radio in the 90s was not gonna happen. I've noticed that in the 90s till now , songs have become shorter and shorter.

I'm 54 and this was in my Tape deck in 1987/88 , I loved the Mystical verses . I felt I lived in a special Time and as I cruised around in my Honda Accord I'd scream along with Bruce .

Your responses give me so much hope. These early maiden songs are what those of us growing up in the late 80's early 90's latched on to. Everything about them is just so flexible. The music doesn't care who you are. It just flexes it's muscles for all of us and lets us fill in the blank and enjoy it.

[@NS1.]

It's funny you call this one "early Maiden". I get what you're saying though since it was the late 80's, and they were still pretty much in their prime. On the other hand, it is their 7th album and when I think early Maiden, I think Number of the Beast, Killers, Piece Of Mind...Oh well, it's still VERY easy on the ears.

[@emanuelguerrero1338]

It was named seventh son of a seventh son because this was their 7th album. I rode my bicycle 8 miles to Ames department store to buy this cassette tape with money I received from mowing lawns when I was 13. This whole album is amazing and yes Megadeth was a killer band also.

I think it's whole prog metal element that some people can't really get into. In my opinion this is THE Iron Maiden album for musicians. It has no bad songs, and some of Bruce's best vocals. About 25 years ago when I was in high school, I had this cd in my truck for like a month or two straight. Lol I couldn't get enough of it.

My mother said that when she was young she had burned her legs quite badly with boiling water. According to my mother, a woman was brought to see her...a 7th daughter of a 7th daughter. Mom claims the lady talked (in tongues, if I'm not misremembering) the fire out of her blistered legs, and that said blisters peeled off like a common sunburn the next day revealing normal pink skin underneath.

I remember by the middle of the show they had played like 4 songs from this album and started playing other albums material. I figured they were done playing Seventh Son songs for the night. They played Phantom of the Opera off the first album and I said "How are they going to top that?" Next song was this. I just stared at the stage, unblinking, in shock before screaming "No. Fucking. Way!" They had a huge model of Eddie at a table writing in a book with two giant candles with flames erupting out of them. It was unreal. Edit: Looked it up because it was bugging me. 2012 it was.
