Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (live)

Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden at the Beast Over Hammersmith Performance 1982. Probably the best live version of this song.

When most people think about metal its about that scream shit. Personally i think that shit is godawful. Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth is real metal not that squeeling shit

[@judgefish4044]

@@RoyyGn Yeah I have only heard that stuff on occasions. I'm relitavely new to metal and I can tell you that from a person who thought metal was screaming I was dead wrong. It's a shame because I really feel a lot more people would like some kind of metal but the negative connotations of metal being screaming and satanic which are both false, put them off. Pretty much all the people I befriend I tell them to listen to metal. First edge them into it with some classic led zeppelin and black sabbath and then iron maiden, metallica, Megadeth and so on.

1981-1982 bruce was god

[@samig9032]

He sounded great in '83 and early '84 too - sometime in '84 he lost the effortless power and clarity.

[@notsoaveragejoe2039]

I would argue Bruce got better as he got older. The Talisman (En Vivo) and Powerslave (Flight 666) also Tears of the Dragon (Live with Tribuzy) showcase that perfectly.

[@samig9032]

He's got a better voice by the book these days. Purer tone, smoother pitch transitions, doesn't lose his breath as easily live. But the sheer power in this recording is something else.

[@kegulalo]

I'm certain this is the best metal song of all time and the best live recording ever.

[@OldSchoolHollywood]

I've listened to Hallowed be thy name countless times, yet every time again it gives me goosebumps. This is my favourite metal song ever made. Bruce's song is insane and I'm happy that I'm able to say i've seen them 7 times already as a 31 year old, yet also making me wish I was born a few decades earlier. If I see what they manage to do on a stage in this decade, I can only imagine what kind of brilliance it must have been in the 80's-90's

Most of my friends who aren't even metalheads still think this song is awesome. When I met my girlfriend 3 years ago she didn't like metal at all, but when I blasted this song in the car a couple of times she grew to love it. Since then I've brought her to both Maiden and Metallica concerts and she loved every second of it lmao

well I love this song too, but "the best piece of music ever written" is a bit over the top? Aside from that being very subjective I think it is hard to argue that musically speaking there are better written songs than probably any Iron Maiden song or for that matter probably any contemporary music piece.

[@Pvt_Patero]

Everyone can have their opinions but clive kills on the drums in this version, ive never seen a version where nicko does it justice, and i love nicko's drumming btw

[@tubsandblades]

I remember "air drumming" to this song over 30 years ago. It's amazing to just now find out that Clive played the 16th note hi-hat pattern with just his right hand. I always thought he "fanned" it with two hands on the hats, but check out 3:49: clearly shows one hand playing the pattern. Drummers, ever try playing that with one hand, at this tempo and volume, on 15" heavy high hats, especially near the end of a show? My right arm would've fallen off! RIP Clive, you were one bad-ass on the tubs and blades.

[@scottwoods8410]

***** Nicko completely slops his way through Clive's songs. He's not even in the same stratosphere as Clive.

[@tubsandblades]

yeah

[@kchandaman3012]

Scott Woods Holy shit, people like you are an intellectual detriment to the Maiden fanbase. Please stop spreading your idiocy around. And that's got to be the worst comeback I've heard in my life. All you do is insult Bruce and Nicko from behind a keyboard. If you told your bullshit to Bruce in person, he'd probably beat the fucking shit out of your empty skull. He and Nicko make Maiden the great band it is today, just as great as when Clive was their drummer. I'd be glad to tell it to your face, but you sound like an asshole Brit who rarely exits his mold-ridden basement, and I have no intention of crossing the Atlantic to talk to dipshits like you.

[@kchandaman3012]

Scott Woods I'm good man, but thanks for the concern.

[@raynalreyes5769]

Scott Woods different styles, written in different times... Nicko is pretty dope too cuz he puts his own style into something... I mean I've been drumming for a while and I'm not going to play Metallica's Enter Sandman by the book! I'm fucking around with time and making it my own.

[@brucem4813]

The best metal band to ever exist

[@bommie]

6:13 I will never not get goosebumps during these final lines. Like the whole song exists only to build up to that final exclamation. And Bruce absolutely destroys it live. I love this version over the recording. From a storytelling and songwriting perspective, this song is unmatched. The instrumentation mirrors the lyrics and the psyche of the speaker as it grows more and more uneasy. If you read the lyrics, if you pay attention to the guitars and drums and bass building and building in their tempo and aggression to this point, you begin to realize how important these final lines are and how Bruce's delivery makes it so perfect. The speaker begins the song afraid of death, doubtful of God's existence, then he spirals into despair asking-if he exists-why God's allowed this to happen to him. By the end of the song he has an epiphany, a revelation, and as he's about to die, he reliquishes all his doubts and accepts his fate, finally wailing in guttural, primal submission: "HALLOWED BE THY NAME!" Goosebumps. Every time.
