First Time Hearing Iron Maiden 🎵 Hallowed Be Thy Name Reaction

[@ugg10video76]

Bruce Dickinson - The human Air-raid siren! Also qualified pilot who pilots the band’s 747 on tour, close to Olympic level fencer (sword fighting), and throat cancer survivor and still singing and touring after 50 years. Bassist Steve Harris is so underrated as a bassist and also composer of many of their song.

They are story tellers. Every song has one. Even on some songs like “Run to the Hills”, “The Trooper” & a few others, you learn some history. Their lyrics have very deep meanings.

[@lekoja]

Even Transylvania seems to tell a story..... and it's an instrumental

[@Kramplarv]

well, many of their songs have a deep meaning :p But some don't and some songs are just a re-tell of a british popcultural phenomenon. :)

[@daver4590]

Yep. Outstanding storytellers. My favorite Iron Maiden song by far is Rhime Of The Ancient Mariner. Everybody remembers reading that in school. Maiden did/does a fantastic job of bringing that epic to life and putting you on that ship with the mariner.

Bruce Dickinson, the singer, is a polymath.

So yeah, he'd be solid back up in a fight, probably still, the band still tours and its nearly 40 years since this show.

[@MichaelFoster1969]

Interesting fact - this performance at Hammersmith Odeon was timed to the release of the album so the crowd had never heard this song. Hence why they seem so spellbound by it; they're quite literally all experiencing what you are. Later versions show them totally rocking out and singing along. It's also why it's so raw and authentic.

When Lex was saying “memory” I kept thinking “story.” Lyrics hit hard: “As the guards march me out to the courtyard. Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you!"

You picked a great song to start with for Iron Maiden. That video, IIRC, is from 1982. Just last week they released a new video, The Writing On The Wall. Still going strong to this day.

I would suggest some other live shows and songs: Rock In Rio (2001): Fear Of The Dark The Clansman Sign Of The Cross Flight 666 (2009) Rime of the Ancient Mariner Fear of the Dark Iron Maiden is a thinking mans band.
