"22 acacia Ave." Is a kick ass tune. ☮️

[@johnduval8891]

I don't know if you two partake or not. But if you do you should definitely fire one up then react to the song "aquatarkus" by the band "ELP" off the live album "welcome back my friends". It's prog rock/ head music. It's definitely different than what you will expect but I guarantee it will literally blow your minds if wearing headphones. It's made to do just that. It's 3 musicians live. Like no others. First band to use a quad sound system. Might be the best drum song you ever hear also. ☮️

Welcome to the Maiden Family! Awesome live too! Last time I saw them last year was probably my favourite time absolutely awesome! This is about the charge of the light brigade. Aces High about the battle for Britain is immense. Also try Rime of the ancient mariner (long but worth it) hallowed be thy name, flight of Icarus, revelations..... I'll stop because I could go on. For a later one try Dance of Death.... OK I'm done . For now. Up the Irons!

Every song off of the Somewhere in Time album. Maiden is awesome.

[@astragalusson]

Long epics (their legendary trademark): - Phantom Of The Opera - Hallowed Be Thy Name - Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - Dance Of Death - Alexander The Great - Caught Somewhere In Time - Powerslave - Fear Of The Dark - Sign Of The Cross - The Clansman - The Nomad - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son - When The Wild Wind Blows - Paschendale - Blood Brothers (ballad) Shorter and relatively straightforward tracks: - Flight Of Icarus - Aces High - The Evil That Men Do - The Clairvoyant - Only The Good Die Young - Wasted Years - 2 Minutes To Midnight - The Number Of The Beast - Where Eagles Dare - Run To The Hills - Holy Smoke - The Wicker Man - Different World Every time, you pick any song from the two lists in alternating order and you'll be fine for reacting. P.S.: I'd say you should try the album (studio) version for all of them at first to hear every instrument, every note fully in full-impact, contraversially including the ones which have a different (not as good according to almost all fans) vocalist on the studio version. However, you should react to some of them live too as a 2nd time reaction.

Iron Maiden Rime of the Ancient Mariner live from Flight 666 DVD is a MUST!

[@rooi77]

Iron Maiden- Sign of the cross, live from rock in rio. One of their best stage performances in my opinion.

[@tristramcoffin926]

I was so encouraged by the dude on the left, the one who this was his first Iron Maiden song. Sir, what i mean to tell you is this song is metal itself. It is the best Iron Maiden song. Your want to listen to the solo again is right. While I would never discourage listening to other Maiden songs there is worth in just listening to this song over and over for a bit first. Don't go too fast. Savor it. There are so many great Maiden songs. They are not going anywhere. To be honest you are only going to enjoy them more by being fluent in this track. When you feel you have gotten there some obvious ones are Number of the Beast, Killers. 2 Minutes to Midnight, Wasted Years and Infinite Dreams. That last one has nuance that will blow your mind. It is my favorite Maiden song. Many of the late period songs are great too like Ghost of the Navigator and Empire of the Clouds but let that come later. I am giving you pearls here. One other thing. So much of Maiden is appreciating their work as albums vs. individual songs. I know that doesn't serve your channel but Iron Maiden comes from a time when the record reigned over the single. Albums present as a program of listening like reading a book. IMO the best of their albums is the debut which had an entirely different singer (Paul Di'Anno) It works as a program of listening you do not get listening a song at a time. I appreciated the gentleman on the right, too. just he had already heard the song. What friend you are by introducing your bud to the greatest metal band of all time with their best song. The only song likely to compete with this one is Hallowed Be Thy Name, and it is awesome, however I figure at the start you guys are wanting for burners not epic set pieces just yet. Cheers, and, enjoy the journey.

[@andyandalex]

@Tristram Coffin Thank you for the thoughtful comment friend, I’ve listened to this song probably at least 13 times since recording this! Loving it! Not posted yet but we have recorded two more Maiden vids, one for Run to the hills and another for two minutes to midnight, DUDE, two minutes to midnight is on another level! I see myself getting into this band! 😁

[@Jeminai77]

*two solos. typically there are at least 2 solos in every song. benefits of having 2 (now 3) lead guitarists. Hallowed Be Thy Name is a must.

[@rubentullenaar2934]

Sooooo happy you guys finally doing one of my al time favorite bands. I've been a Maiden fan since I was 7 or 8. This song is based on the a poem of Alfred Lord Tennyson “Charge of the Light Brigade,” which in turn is based on a disastrous British attempt to charge Russian enemy troops during the Crimean War (1853-1856). If you need a history lesson or some poem based songs you can listen to many Maiden songs, Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote his poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" in 1834 which Maiden rendered into a song on the album Powerslave. History ... "ALEXANDER THE GREAT" , "ACES HIGH" where you hear a part of Churchill’s “We shall fight on the beaches…” speech , "RUN TO THE HILLS" , "WHERE EAGLES DARE" Oh wait... that's based on a movie...😁😁 Enjoy the wonderful Maiden journey guys. You'll love it I'm sure.

Saw Maiden on the Somewhere in Time tour in Pittsburgh 1988. By far the loudest show I’ve ever seen. I believe my hearing was permanently damaged that night.

[@jeffboone2445]

Here's your maiden primer. "KIllers" this is before Bruce Dickinson. Then you absolutley have to listen to Hallowed be thy name. iron Maiden is king of telling stories. The Trooper is their telling of the poem "the charge of the light brigade". You have just taken your first hit of cerebral metal storytelling by the masters. "Rhyme of the ancient mariner" is also epic. IMHO there aren't many bands past or present that can stand next to the brilliant body of work these guys have given us.

[@chrisg8767]

I was 15 years old when Iron Maiden released Piece of Mind, in my opinion their best ever album and the introduction of the brilliant Nicko McBrain.

[@MADHippiesLife]

Great song! We met in high school in 1982, eloped two years later and never looked back. Stumbling across your KZbin page was fun for us, especially since you guys are listening to many of our favorites. Our first date was Black Sabbath (1982 with Dio), the last time we saw them was our 29th wedding anniversary for their reunion tour with Ozzy. We were, and still are, big fans of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Blue Oyster Cult, Rush and many others, including Grunge that was a breath of fresh air to the music industry in the 90s. We would love to share so much of the music we grew up with with you guys and hear your response to it. Already we have enjoyed what you have reacted to. Great channel, we look forward to much more from you and the impact of music that is so powerful, moving and expansive. Our vote for Iron Maiden? The Piece of Mind album, hands down. Favorite track off the album, To Tame a Land.

[@taffridge]

Ryme of the Ancient Mariner, will be a long video, but worth it for the big scream before the solos

[@briansloan8199]

"Number of the beast" is probably their biggest song.

[@cabansinleaf8867]

Relentless...is the only word to describe Iron Maiden tunes. I had a hard time suggesting the next deep cut, because they're all that good but I'll stick my neck out and say. Running Free, this is before Bruce Dickinson, and it's from their debut LP But if you're after more of a similar theme then I'd go with Wrathchild from the Killers LP.

[@sicko_the_ew]

Extra bonus something: Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Here's the whole poem for free. www.gutenberg.org/files/151/151-h/151-h.htm To understand it in your blood instead of in your head, don't just read it with your eyes. Read it aloud in whatever place you can find where your propensity toward embarrassment diminishes (if you have such a thing). And don't read it aloud like you read with your eyes (fast, in chunks). Read it slowly. Read every word. Read every syllable. Read in such a way (slowly, but where the "beat" is something you can feel, basically) that it takes control. It will take control. The words Coleridge chose will take control, and you'll feel something like a song developing. No need to give it a melody; this is a song with just a rhythm. It's a long song/poem, so it might take quite a few sessions to reach the end. No matter. There's no hurry. It comes from a world we came from, where people didn't hurry as much, and yet managed to achieve certain things we struggle to achieve in the hasty times we now live in. Some things we know much better than they did, but there are things they knew which we should perhaps try not to completely forget. It's a bit like a song. To sing it, you need to use your voice. Lo tech, but a door into one of the hidden levels of this game we're characters in.

Yeah if y'all like drums "Run to the Hills" from Iron Maiden is wicked good. You get tired just listening to the drummer. You want some interesting songs to listen to. Try Utopia Ra. One side of the album is 2 songs (ass kickin') Hiroshima and Singring and the Glass Guitar. Singring will take you on a journey. The album Mahogany Rush Strange Universe is another one.

[@GoofyBilly1]

See a lot of suggestions here, but not much on their 1st 2 albums. Iron Maiden & Killers imo have the best sound.

[@peteanderson17]

Agreed. Paul DiAnno kills it...

[@rmat.847]

Who else has THREE lead guitarists...? Enough said.

[@isaiahzamarripa1164]

Russel Mathias lynerd skynerd but I know what you mean DIG THE MAIDEN

[@michaelgarcia2050]

That was later.

[@stephennorris2524]

Maiden is my favourite band, got all their albims, dvd's etc, so many awesome tracks to recommend, one thing you will notice is how they tell a story about so many historical events and characters, Nomad and Blood Brothers are nice ones.

[@ChemicalManUSA]

Btw, there are 2 lead guitarists in Maiden (at that time)- Adrian Smith and Dave Murray. Adrian did the first solo, Dave took the second. Once you become more familiar with them, you'll learn to hear the differences between them. Both are brilliant, IMO, but I lean more in Adrian's direction. UP THE IRONS!!! Oh, and welcome to the Maiden family!

Somewhere in Time Wasted Years Powerslave Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Clairvoyant Infinite Dreams Aces High Tailgunner just to name a few

[@willie1062]

[@twinpeaks294]

And Hallowed Be Thy Name

[@domingoreyes9801]

Wasted Years is another great one!

[@nostalga44jo]

How did you miss Wrathchild? Studio version.

[@DHARMN00]

If you really want to get what Iron Maiden is all about, do live versions.

[@DogmeatDied989]

Dan Harmon the live albums are faster and more raw!

[@DHARMN00]

@@DogmeatDied989 that and more, the sheer energy of their shows is what made them legends

[@cybrunel1016]

There are two guitar players sharing rythm/lead. Adrian Smith and Dave Murray. On the first two albums " Iron Maiden " & " Killers " it was Dave Murray & Dennis Stratton and singer Paul Di' Anno before Bruce Dickinson joined on " Number Of The Beast ". Up the irons \m/.

[@brunanburh937AD]

Hi A&A My first Maiden album was “Number of the Beast “,great album...after that I went back through their earlier stuff and although more raw, was very good even without Bruce singing...welcome to IRON MAIDEN!! I don’t think you’ll regret it

[@MrMmyers5]

You mentioned that the song reminded you of a story, it is based upon the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade"
