Every heavy metal band got inspiration from these guys.

A must see is the 1982 live version of Hallowed Be Thy Name. It is amazing.

Dude don't let the comments bug you. We totally believe you like this stuff. One of the things that happens to people that dip their feet into metal is they're shocked that they're actually becoming a fan. All their life they thought that metal was just noisy and then they started to listen. You'll definitely find as you go along that you'll come across some songs you don't like, and don't be afraid to say it, but you also don't have to worry about loving it cuz that's what we're here to see.

[@osamaqtaitat]

Worry?!!?

[@iankillion8031]

One of the great vocalist around no help from technology just the man's talent

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Metallica were definitely influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (that's an actual title) which Iron Maiden was a part of. Lars was especially into that, him coming from Europe. Maiden is widely considered one of the all time greats and is incredible live. Bruce's powerful vocals, Murray and Smith's dueling guitars, and Harris's galloping bass make them a true force. Other great songs to check out would be "Number of the Beast", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", and "22 Acacia Avenue". Keep enjoying your journey!!

[@correctlyrics]

I would disagree with your reply to his specific question. Maiden came out in 1980 and Metallica formed in 1981. So, I don't think Maiden was an influence on Metallica. But, only they know, right?

[@brettkenschaft4239]

@correctlyrics Maiden actually formed in 1975, although their first full length album wasn't released until 1980. Lars was very into and knowledgeable of the N.W.O.B.H.M. so there's a good chance he knew of them before most of the rest of the world.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

@@correctlyrics And although they didn't cover any of their songs on Garage Inc. like they did with bands like Diamond Head, Blitzkrieg, Budgie, and the Misfits, they did pay homage to Run to the Hills at the end of their cover of Last Caress/Green Hell.

[@Jokke472]

@@correctlyricslars likes maiden and is for sure influenced by iron maiden, but Otherwise Metallica isn’t influenced by iron maiden or anyone else, i think

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

​@@correctlyricsthey said the debut influenced them and they could still be influenced by contemporaries.

[@aaronfrazier7159]

Iron Maiden is best served live! I would suggest Hallowed Be Thy Name live from Hammersmith in 1982. Also, from live concert video, Flight 666 (I think), Rime of the Ancient Mariner is jaw dropping. I would also suggest Dance of the Dead from Rocking in Rio (again, I think). Also, yes Iron Maiden is still a touring band, in fact I will most likely be getting tickets to a show near me in New England for November of next year. Rock on, Man! 🤟✌

[@calseeor]

Dude, we all know you are reacting truly, it can be seen on your face, the questions you ask, and just your overall reaction. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest were the bands that pulled me into metal back when I was I was a little kid and thought Kiss was the only band I needed. You really can't go wrong with Maiden. Stay true to yourself and ignore people who try and troll you.

[@stefanboskovic4724]

They certainly are still touring. Saw them live in Leeds a few months back. They were amazing as they always are. Wasted Years, Stranger in a Strange Land, The Number of the Beast, so many great songs

[@madmike4622]

Yep I was in Leeds too, Steve fell over but contuined playing 🎸🎸🎸

[@billyisprivate6352]

I'm enjoying watching a metal head being born, and I'm not surprised. He's 23.... he's got probably a dood 10 years listening to music. The last 10 years have sucked, musically speaking. And being raised around top 40 the last 10 years, the kids these days have zero idea what good music can be. It's about time the good rock and roll, and metal, are influencing new generations. There is hope. Rock on, MollyBoy. I'm a fan

[@-Heavy-]

What I see when I watch your videos,is a Metalhead in the making.The 2 Maiden songs you have chosen so far are good,but they where ones thats pretty short.You have to check out some of their long,epic songs and you should take live videos.When you see them perform Hallowed be thy Name or The ancient Mariner live,you will desperately get obsessed with Maiden for Life!

They aren't just still touring, but they are even more relevant today than ever🤘 They have released 17 great studio albums, which is about 6 more than the lesser metallica😜 The Maiden rabbit hole is greater than any other you will find🤘 Up the mighty Irons!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@marcp3791]

One of the most beautiful aspects of Iron Maiden is that many of their songs draw inspiration or are direct tellings of famous literary works or historical events. You don't just get fantastic music, but you get an artfully crafted education as well. This song is a great example as it is like a play-by-play of a soldier in The Charge of the Light Brigade. Your channel is great, too. I really enjoy seeing real, genuine reactions and real-time feedback of these classic bangers. Cheers.

[@I.am.Iain-81]

One of the very BEST to ever do it!!! They have been going since the mid 70s and still going today!! Dave Murray is one of my ultimate guitar heroes along with a guy called Gary Moore who began with band called Thin Lizzy. Hallowed Be Thy Name, Evil That Men Do, Wasted Years, Can I Play With Madness are ones you should definitely check out. 🤘🤘

[@Crom64]

Thin Lizzy was also a big inspiration for Cliff Burton (RIP). love some lore

[@wesbeuning1733]

"Wasted Years, aces high, Somewhere in Time" yes maidens stoll around, and now have all three of their best guitarists in the band.

[@MBGolfer]

Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time and I am 62, so I have heard A LOT of bands. Heavy Metal is so awesome!!!! Iron Maiden is still performing to sold out stadiums and have not lost a beat.

[@michaelwilson9449]

Maiden are very much still going. Bruce is 68 years old and not only does he still sing for them, but also has his solo stuff too. Rock On mate! Cheers from 🇨🇦.

[@Crom64]

Bruce Dickinson is a beast. You better beleive he is still rocking it live on stage

[@princebusta1st1]

I believe you're sincere because you do the classic thing that all budding metal heads do where all new songs you review is the greatest thing you heard!, that was just like me and millions of other metalheads growing up hearing new stuff. I'm 42 and still enjoying it full pelt, but there is a part of me very jealous of you hearing this for the first time. Same with my kids, they are eating all this up. The first time i heard one of my daughters blasting Death from her room it brought a tear of pride to my eye😆😆😆😆🤘🤘🤘🤘

Love the guitars. But with Maiden, respect the bass and the bassist! Steve Harris’ galloping bass is the heart of the band! Maiden is one of the greatest metal bands ever!

[@kalodner666]

The Trooper was from '83 album Piece of mind and yes they are still touring and recording!!!

[@Winnetou17]

No, WTF, it's not from Powerslave, it's from "Piece of Mind" from '83, the album before Powerslave.

One the greatest bands of all time. Add Hallowed Be Thy Name - ‘82 to my list of live songs to check out! They certainly are still playing and were definitely an inspiration to Metallica. I saw them 5 or 6 years ago and they still sounded amazing.

[@ttmaiden75]

Another banger! British metal bands dominate. The bass player Steve Harris was nominated best metal bass player of all time. He inspired me to play bass and i joined a metal band in my 20's.

[@luizarruda3229]

Yes, Iron Maiden is still going. And Monday I will buy the ticket for their show in Brazil next year. Up the Irons!

[@stevehanson2398]

Fantastic reaction, thanks👍 With many Iron Maiden songs, you get an accurate history lesson. The Trooper tells the account of a British soldier in the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War. Lord Cardigan led the British cavalry against Russian forces during this battle on 25 October 1854. Lord Raglan had intended to send the Light Brigade to prevent the Russians from removing captured guns from overrun Turkish positions. However, there was miscommunication in the chain of command and the Light Brigade was instead sent on a suicide mission charging straight at heavy Russian artillery which cost the lives of around 300 British soldiers. Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote a poem to commemorate this disaster and he called it "The Charge of the Light Brigade". The bronze that the recaptured guns were made from was used to make the Victoria Cross, a military medal of the very highest order that was awarded "for valour" and designed by Queen Victoria herself. Very few of these have ever been awarded, even to this day. Other great Iron Maiden history lessons you could check out.... Run to the Hills, Alexander the Great, Paschendale and Empire of the Clouds. I've been a Maiden fan since hearing their debut album in 1980 on cassette when I was 10 years old. I've seen them live every time they've played in London, their home ground and mine, and they never disappoint. Up the Irons!!!

[@mattblatchley2061]

the US and the UK has had an AWESOME music relationship over the decades...it's like our guys'll do something cool and send it over and then your guys will say, "well we can do you one better" and send it back... Metal was certainly birthed in the UK and we know it!!! Zeppelin, Sabbath, Priest, Motorhead, Iron Maiden...all important and iconic!!!

England has some of the best metal bands, essentially Heavy Metal was born in the midlands of Birmingham, England with Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden are still hard at it, touring in 2024, well worth checking out even in their advanced years they certainly still got it, latest album Senjutsu is damn good. ~ Up The Irons!

[@uriel393]

Dave Murray is still one of my favorite guitarists (I'm 54), and he's the one taking the 2nd solo (Longer hair, striped shirt). Maiden is still going strong & all 5 members here are still in the band (Along with a third guitarist).

[@lodimas]

Big up brother, loving the content. Used to be a rap fan myself when I was younger and found metal music around the same age as yourself. Keep the reactions coming! If you revisit TOOL any time soon, you absolutely have to check out the live video of the song "Sober" from Reading 1993, absolutely mindblowing. Also, if you're looking to mix it up a bit, check out a song called "Pisces" by JINJER, always a banger to see people's reactions to. Much love

[@neillenet291]

And yes iron maiden is on tour again in 2024.

[@nem447]

Yes _Iron Maiden_ influenced a lotta bands that came after them. Lars of _Metallica_ has even said so multiple times in public, not just the music but the way they present and market themselves. Although _Judas Priest_ came first with the twin guitar harmonies, but _Iron Maiden_ made it their own... 🤘

Yeah, Maiden has some heavy lyrics. Not many metal bands make songs about classic poetry. This was about the poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade”. I yawned through it in school and this song made me go back and read it. Funny, I’m 57 been listening to them before this singer joined the band and I never really noticed that quite a few Iron Maiden songs don’t really have a chorus.

Fucking epic, just like Maiden!

The Trooper was the first song i ever heard from Iron Maiden and it’s what got me hooked to them it’s fire, BUT! you haven’t listened to Iron Maiden yet if you haven’t listened to Hallowed be Thy Name and Fear of the Dark. All Iron Maiden songs are fire but those two songs are essentials

[@riphopfer5816]

I’ve lived in the States now from age 7 till now (41). I was born, though, in Manchester, in the North of England. I’ve been back many times to visit family and friends I’ve made over the years (I stayed for 10 months) when I was 19-20 years old. The point is that I never stayed away long enough for the States to water down the English in my blood. I say all this because there is something about the notion of the doomed cavalry charge to stir something very unique in the Englishman’s circulatory system, isn’t there? I’m actually not an enormous fan of most Maiden tunes but this one fires me up, as does (I think) ‘Aces High’. But this one, in particular, carries with it the FEEL of those 600 men defiantly, perhaps even madly, in spite of the obviously absurd odds, riding into the jaws of Death and Hell itself. Makes me proud to be fuckin English, man. Am I the only Briton that feels this?
