The thing is that recent live videos don't show that off. It's unfortunate but the poor guy does seem to be loosing range in his old age and he can't hold his notes as long. Nothing against him, Bruce is a legend and the kind of show he puts on would be difficult at any age but to hear him at his live best try a show from the mid 80s

Welcome to Iron Maiden, one thing always struck me about them. Unlike other live perfomances and bands, these guys always look like they are having fun, the most important point about music.

[@schustersview6037]

"Would I go and pay money to experience it myself? Probably not." That's what Fratello Metallo thought. He was an Italian capucine monk who wanted to see for himself what was that devil's music. Then he went to see a Metallica concert, and following his experience, became a metal singer.

[@giorgosgalanos9888]

Hehehe ... the devil's tricks... I love them! There was a similar case in Greece. Father Panteleimon (πατήρ Παντελεήμων), he was member of a band formed of priests and monks with the name "Παπαροκάδες" (free translation: the rock-priests). They played "christian pop-rock" that praised God, orthodox christianity, and against the new world order and the RFID chips. Eventually he abandoned the priesthood to became a hardcore metal singer. Musically however, they had some interesting songs...for example song title: "Έμαθα Ελεύθερος Να Ζω" (translation: I learned to live free). Today you can hear the former priest Panteleimon as a singer for the Greek metal band "Diviner". Search on KZbin for "Diviner - Heaven Falls" ...devilishly funny title ha?? Hehehe!! \m/

[@giorgosgalanos9888]

He was also the singer for a band that made a tribute live for Ronnie James Dio for charitable purpose (Rock in Dio). Search it on KZbin if you like Dio...ex-father Panteleimon made an exellent job with the vocals. One of the best vocal cover singers of Dio... Title: "ROCK 'N' ROLL CHILDREN "Heaven and Hell" ROCK IN DIO Vol4 by METAL HAMMER" There are more songs of this live on KZbin. The band's name is "Rock N Roll Children".

[@christianbuczko1481]

Btw, i started listening to JSBach, vivaldi and mozart BECAUSE i started listening to heavy metal. The music has alot of similarities in composition, and toccata and fugue is probably the 1st true heavy metal ever. Metallica also did exceptional work with classical influences in the 2-4th albums with cliff burtons bass standing out. Orion by metallica is a masterpiece instrumental on a bass.

[@shifty7629]

Have you ever listened to Nightwish? Symphonic metal band from Finland & they are awesome. I suspect you'll like their compositions. They're often likened to epic musicals from movies. Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 is probably their most popular track in youtubeland, but I adore their version of The Phantom of the Opera from the End of an Era concert.

[@Xiatar]

With your classical training and background, this one would be a good pick. I'm curious to hear your comments.

[@jasperdevries1726]

Fear of the Dark is not the most interesting song they have ever done, composition-wise. Something like Alexander the Great, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, To Tame a Land or Phantom of the Opera might be more to your liking. A solid live version though.

Maiden obviously has 3 guitarists, so because of that, they are panned specifically. Janik Gers (first solo) is panned one way, Dave Murray (second solo) is panned the opposite side. With their third guitarist (adrian smith) is panned equally in left and right.

[@damot1051]

I think most of their live albums are mixed that way. Live After Death from '85 was as I remember listening to it on a double cassette!! I think i wore the tapes out!

Any and all of the "LIFE AFTER DEATH" album. Absolutely epic live performances. My favourite is "hallowed be thy name" it was the first song I'd ever heard from maiden and still gives me goose bumps decades later!!

Great reaction and interesting observations. Maiden songs very often tell a story, so its always worth reading the lyrics although Bruce is a very clear singer and you can usually make out what he's singing...even live. Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a long song based on the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1797-98) of the same name. I'd be interested to see your reaction to how they accomplished creating the song from the poem - from a composers perspective. Another historical song is Alexander the Great. But that would be a studio version as they have never performed it live due to the timing intricacies makes it a difficult song to perform live. Nicko's words (drummer) not mine.
