An interesting thing about this song is if you break down the phrases you see its the stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and the "hallow be thy name" at the end is acceptance.

[@toddashton9696]

Thanks Shawn. Been a Maiden fan forever, but never realized that.

but iron maiden was sued for plagiarism for this lyris and had to pay tje fine so the credit goes to another person

@@cbmetal it’s just 6 lines out of 30 i guess!!! It’s not a big deal, such things happen everywhere every time with every field. 90-95% of the song is original!

[@metalmark1214]

I've been listening to Iron Maiden since 1982, at the age of 15. To give you a complete list of Iron Maiden recommendations, see my list below. This is considered classic Heavy Metal. Iron Maiden is: Bruce Dickinson - Vocals Born: August 7, 1958 (age 63 years) Started with Iron Maiden in 1981, left in 1993 and rejoined in 1999 and present singer Steve Harris - Bassist and Founder Born: March 12, 1956 (age 66 years), Started the band in 1975 and has never left Dave Murray - Guitarist Born: December 23, 1956 (age 65 years), 1976-1977, 1978- present Adrian Smith - Guitarist Born: February 27, 1957 (age 65 years), 1980-1990, 1999-present Janick Gers - Guiarist Born: January 27, 1957 (age 65 years), 1990 - present Nicko McBrain - Drums Born: June 5, 1952 (age 70 years), 1982 - present Highlight of songs I'd recommend are: From Iron Maiden------ Phantom of the Opera - A must for live version Strange World (this one will be totally different Iron Maiden) From Killers ------ Murders in the Rue Morgue (Very loosely influenced by Edgar Allen Poe's short story, a story of a fugitive being sought for murder) Genghis Khan (an instrumental - perfect for air drumming) Innocent Exile (continues the theme of Murders in the Rue Morgue of an unjustly accused fugitive) Killers (A journey into the twisted mind of a deranged killer) Prodigal Son(about a repentant man reminiscent of the prodigal son parable found in Luke 15 of the bible) Purgatory(lyrics of song read like a poem) Drifter (focuses on the possibility of new beginnings) From The Number of the Beast------ Invaders (It graphically depicts the violence and horror of a defense against a Viking invasion) The Prisoner (based on the UK television series that ran briefly in the late 1960’s) 22 Acacia Avenue (The continuation of Charlotte the Harlot) The Number of the Beast (Inspired by a dream Bassist Steve Harris had after watching the movie the Omen2) Run to the Hills (about the European arrival in America told from the perspective of both the oppressed Cree and the invading white soldiers) Hallowed be Thy Name (about a man who is about to be put to death and what he goes through) *** This song From Piece of Mind------ Where Eagles Dare (based on an Alistair Maclean novel, (1967), and film (1968) about a WWII rescue of an American general from a Nazi stronghold in the Bavarian Alps Revelations (Starts with the Hymnal from Oh God of Earth and Alter, the next two verses on the Hindu philosophy, the third verse in Yoga a snake called Kundalini that lives at the base of your spinal cord, during meditation a spiritual entity is created symbolizing the transcendental union with God) Flight of Icarus (loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus) The Trooper (based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854,which took place during the Crimean War) To Tame a Land (the song relays the story of Paul Atreides, Paul Muad'Dib, from the book Dune by Frank Herbert) From Powerslave------ Aces High (about aircraft dog fighting between the British and German fighter pilots of WWII) 2 Minutes to Midnight - About the Doomsday clock for the End of the World Back in The Village (The continuation of the song The Prisoner) Powerslave (about an arrogant pharaoh in his dying hours, he can't understand why he's about to die and fights it in vain) Rime of the Ancient Mariner - (From the poem of the same name by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (story about about an ocean voyage) From Somewhere in Time------- Wasted Years (A song about the admonition to appreciate the present and not to take things for granted) The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (based on a short story of Alan Sillitoe which was made into a 1962 film Alexander the Great (About the story of Alexander the Great From 7th Son of a 7th Son (a concept album)------ Infinite Dreams (Detailing someone who is tormented by paranormal dreams and nightmares) The Evil That Men Do (Title taken from a quote in Shakespeare Julius Caesar but the song is unrelated) The Clairvoyant (relates the reflections of the 7th Son of the 7th Son on his life and his powers) From Fear of the Dark------ Wasting Love (About the emptiness of relationships without love. Another Maiden ballad) Fear of the Dark (About being afraid of the dark and the things in the dark that might be there - absolute a live performance for this one) From Brave New World------ The Wicker Man (about the apathy of our modern society and our egotistic disinterest of what is happening until something happens to us) Ghost of the Navigator (The lyrics are a metaphor of life, with the ship sailing west towards the setting sun representing death) Brave New World (Loosely based on the 1932 novel by Aldous Huxley) Dream of Mirrors (Yet another song about reoccurring and maybe premonitory dreams) Out of the Silent Planet (Supposedly inspired by the 1956 science -fiction film Forbidden Planet) From Dance of Death------ No More Lies (The lyrics deal with someone knows his time has come with the possibility of reincarnation) Dance of Death (Orinally inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film The Seventh Seal - Another one to do as a live performance) Paschendale (about the Battle of Passchendaele during WWI) From A Matter of Life and Death------ Brighter than a Thousand Suns (About the dawn of the nuclear bomb age) The Longest Day (about the WWII Normandy Invasion) Out of the Shadows (About being born)

IM's signature song. The album was a landmark for heavy metal and changed music forever. They practically invented the sing along for heavy metal. Tons of hits to check out (maybe more than Metallica). Just look up the most popular (too many to list). My favs include Wasted Years, The Number of the Beast Powerslave, Aces High, & Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Greatest metal band of all time. Check out Aces High, Where Eagles Dare, Somewhere in Time, The Evil That Men Do, The Trooper, Powerslave… okay you know what, this list is going to be too long… just check out all their 80s stuff. I don’t know much beyond their 80s work. Their first two albums have a different singer, they changed drummers after this album and Nicko McBrain has been their drummer ever seen. Their most consistent lineup is Steve Harris on bass, Dave Murray on guitar, Bruce Dickinson vocals, Nicko McBrain on drums, Adrian Smith on guitar. And they’re all in the band now. This is such a fun band to be into, and that goes beyond their music… so become familiar with Eddie 😆

Love The Evil that men do

[@adrianr1338]

Yes their 80s stuff is timeless, but their 90s and 2000's stuff is absolutely incredible as well. Check out: Lord of the Flies, The Clansman, The Wicker Man, For the Greater Good of God, Raimaker, and Stratego. Iron Maiden released their 17th album Senjutsu last year and are currently on a world tour supporting it. Check them out. You might just reconnect with an old friend. Up the Irons!

[@Frostrazor]

yo Lilly!! bless you for checking this out! Love this band. Loving you and this reaction right now. Maiden has historically been one of the great live shows ever!!! Lead singer is Bruce Dickenson. He is quite unique and has an amazing voice and always so theatrical and energetic on stage - still going at it at 65! (He also is a pilot and flies their touring jumbo jet). I'm going to see them LIVE here in California in a few weeks. That will 6 times for me. Can't wait! Other amazing songs by Maiden to check out: Aces High The Trooper Fear of the Dark (Live in Brazil) Flight of Icarus Power Slave The Prisoner. Other bands with his style of voice that you loved: Queensryche ("Eyes of a Stranger"), and Dream Theatre ("Pull Me Under")

[@thomasmalmin6194]

Awesome you're getting into Maiden, Lil! At the time of the "Number Of The Beast" recording, the band's lineup consisted of Bruce Dickenson on vocals, Dave Murray & Adrian Smith on guitars, Steve Harris on bass, and Clive Burr on drums. "Run To The Hills" is my personal fave from the NOTB album, but dang near every track off their next album, "Piece of Mind," is a no-miss banger!

[@Lythronax98]

Great reaction! If you want to listen to more Maiden here are a few recommendations: Powerslave Children of the Damned The Trooper Wasted Years Rime of the Ancient Mariner Wasting Love Aces High Also, you might find that in all of their album covers there’s a “mummy” (though his appearance might change) that’s their mascot, his name is Eddie!

This album " Number of The Beast " & Judas Priest " Screaming For Vengance" Cemented the term Heavy Metal as a genre in the States. The term existed prior but this was the moment that really separated it. Both came out at the same time. 82 ( both band's toured together) Suggestions Iron Maiden- 1) Run to Hills 2) The Prisoner Judas Priest 1) The Hellion / Electric Eye 2) Screaming for Vengance

Amazing reaction my friend Lilly!!....In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just It was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coach, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 and 5 years have passed since then, but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because you ar going to receive an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHW7ZHmeot6Bl8U

[@sumonjamal1653]

Iron Maiden is a classic heavy metal band from the UK, and they have gotten more prog-oriented metal these last 2 decades... Steve Harris (bass) formed the band in 1975... Harris wrote 'Hallowed be thy name' as an ode to a man's final hour before his execution, not as a religious statement, but more about his final thoughts about his faith... it came out in 1982 on Maiden's 3rd album 'The number of the beast'. The band on this recording was Bruce Dickinson (vocals), Dave Murray & Adrian Smith (guitars), Steve Harris (bass) and (the late) Clive Burr (drums)... Burr was replaced by Nicko McBrain (drums) in 1983... Clive Burr passed away from MS in 2013. Iron Maiden was formed in London, UK by bassist Steve Harris in 1975 after he had started writing original songs, but couldn't convince a band to play them, cos they were complicated pieces of music w/ time changes and prog elements. Iron Maiden would be his vehicle for performing his songs. They were a bar and club band for years and went through various members from 1975 to 1979... Dave Murray (guitar) would join in 1976 and became a permanent member by 1977... Paul Di'Anno (vocals) joined in 1977 w/ drummer Doug Sampson. Iron Maiden was finally signed in 1979, just as Sampson left the band... Clive Burr (drums) and Dennis Stratton (guitar) were added to the line-up and recorded the first Iron Maiden album in 1980. Maiden's manager got a local artist Derek Riggs for the first album cover of a shriveled ghoul in the dark streets of London w/ hollow eyes - that became Iron Maiden's mascot 'Eddie the head'... and was used on every Maiden album cover (and singles & t-shirts) in different iterations. The first Iron Maiden album shocked everyone by going top 5 in the UK... Adrian Smith (guitar) replaced Dennis Stratton for the next album 'Killers' in 1981, w/ veteran producer Martin Birch working w/ Maiden in the studio. The band played the US and Japan for the first time... However, vocalist Paul Di'Anno was burning out on drugs and alcohol while touring and parted ways w/ Maiden in '81. Bruce Dickinson (vocals) joined for Maiden's 3rd album 'The number of the beast' in 1982, and the band's popularity skyrocketed as the album hit the UK charts at #1 and went platinum in the US... Nicko McBrain (drums) replaced Clive Burr in 1983 for the 'Piece of mind' album... Iron Maiden were now headlining arenas and delivering platinum selling records going into 1984 w/ the 'Powerslave' album, and touring everywhere they could, including South America for the first time. The band issued the live album 'Live after death' in 1985. Maiden returned in 1986 w/ 'Somewhere in time' and were more popular than ever... but the band's internal conflicts were beginning. After the 'Seventh son of a seventh son' album in 1988, guitarist Adrian Smith left the band. In 1990, the band replaced Smith w/ Janick Gers (guitar) and released 'No prayer for the dying' ... but Maiden's popularity in the 90's was starting to wane in the US... the album 'Fear of the dark' in 1992 marked the last album w/ producer Martin Birch. It went to #1 on the UK charts. But in 1993, vocalist Bruce Dickinson announced that he was leaving the band for a solo career. Iron Maiden hired vocalist Blaze Bayley and recorded the rather dark album 'The X Factor' in 1995, but in the wake of 90's grunge and alternative rock, Maiden's brand of metal was not in demand and the record was a commercial disappointment... Fans also did not approve of Blaze Bayley's vocal style that was different from Dickinson's. The next album 'Virtual XI' in 1998 was their poorest-selling record of Maiden's career. In 1999, the decision was made to fire Blaze Bayley... Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith expressed interest in coming back, so both rejoined Iron Maiden that year and announced a reunion tour, making Iron Maiden a 3-guitar band for the first time w/ Dave Murray, Janick Gers and Adrian Smith... Their 2000 album 'Brave new world' was a huge comeback for Iron Maiden. Since then, Iron Maiden has issued more records that have hit the US and UK charts as their fanbase grew once again, all over the world... Their music was also becoming more challenging w/ longer prog elements. They released the albums 'Dance of death' (2003)... 'A matter of life and death' (2006)... 'The Final Frontier' (2010). While recording the album 'The book of souls' in 2014, vocalist Bruce Dickinson had to be treated for oral cancer... The album was released in 2015, but Maiden would not tour until 2016, after Bruce Dickinson got a clean bill of health. In 2021, Iron Maiden released their newest album 'Senjutsu' and are on the road celebrating 40+ years of the band's career.

There are sone of them you might hear and like, and after a few listens you will start to love it! Up the Irons!

I'm 49 and I grew up with three older sisters who between them brought me up in the late 70's to mid 80's musically with a combination of classic rock, metal, indie, alternative, punk and new wave. The first live band I ever saw was Maiden at the NEC, Birmingham, UK back in 1988 when I was 15. They blew me away and they are definitely one of the all-time greats of metal. This song in particular is truly one of my all-time favourite heavy metal songs. It has everything! Slow build up, tension, drama, theatrics, high notes, low notes, Bruce Dickinson hanging on in there for really bloody long notes. Superb lyrics. Amazing guitar solo. Fabulous guitar harmonies between Adrain Smith and Dave Murray. Cracking drumming from the late, great Clive Burr (before the long running legend Nicko McBrain took over the sticks). The master and main man behind Maiden, Steve Harris driving it all with those filthy bass lines. It's just the absolute perfect heavy metal song to me. I know others may well disagree. This is just purely my own opinion :) It's great to see the younger generation still having huge love for classic bands like these :)

Did you notice that the song seems a bit samish till he sings "catch my soul, it's willing to fly away..." then takes off with the crazy soloing - that's a deliberate stylistic move, mirroring the restrictions of his prison cell and subsequent release of the soul upon hanging. Great song.

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

I believe this is what they call *POWER METAL* And Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal combining characteristics of traditional heavy metal with speed metal, often within symphonic context. Generally, power metal is characterized by a faster, lighter, and more uplifting sound, in contrast with the heaviness and dissonance prevalent, for example, in extreme metal. Power metal bands usually have anthem-like songs with fantasy-based subject matter and strong choruses, thus creating a theatrical, dramatic and emotionally "powerful" sound. The term was first used in the mid-1980s and refers to two different but related styles: According to what I dug up, the first pioneered and largely practiced in North America with a harder sound similar to speed metal, a later, more widespread and popular style based in Europe (especially Scandinavia, Germany, Greece, Spain, and Italy, South America (especially Brazil and Argentina) and East Asia with a lighter, more melodic sound and frequent use of keyboards. British bands like Iron Maiden, brought epic and melodic sensibility to metal, creating anthemic, singalong music, an approach widely embraced by modern power metal musicians. The emergence of the early German power-metal scene in particular was made possible by Scorpions and Accept. Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen made a significant impact on many future power metal guitarists, with his accurate and fast neo-classical style. His bandmate Jens Johansson modernized the keyboard sound of Deep Purple's Jon Lord, which was further incorporated into the genre. Manowar's mythological sword and sorcery lyrics influenced a number of power metal bands. Throughout the early 1980s especially in the years 1982 and 1983, a US power metal style first emerged from traditional heavy metal, the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM), and thrash/speed metal influences. The exact first origin is often contested, but bands such as Cirith Ungol, Jag Panzer, Manilla Road, Omen, Riot, Savatage, and Warlord are thought to have influenced the earliest development of the style.[7][8] More concretely, in 1987 German band Helloween released their second album, Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I, cited by AllMusic as "a landmark recording that remains arguably the single most influential power metal album to date. Its volatile combination of power and melody would inspire an entire generation of metal bands".[9] This release influenced a European power metal style to evolve, which proliferated throughout the globe and since the start of the 1990s is still the most commonly heard style of power metal.

Hi, Revelations and Alexander the Great are a couple of great Iron Maiden songs I recommend. If you like high pitched metal/rock vocals, you have to check out Queensryche, listen to their song Eyes of a Stranger to start. Also, definitely recommend the song Dark Fate of Atlantis from the band Luca Turilli’s Rhapsody.

[@joesinnott2461]

The lead singer is Bruce Dickenson and he is a classically trained opera singer who moved into the metal genre

[@williamcarbajal383]

Live versions of, Fear of the Dark and, The Sign of the Cross, from Rock in Rio are very good 👊😎

[@vicprovost2561]

Nice to see another modern listener getting into classic Heavy Metal! Since you discovered the magnificence of Iron Maiden, you must also exp!ore classic metal bands Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. Along with Maiden they are a consensus top 3 metal bands of all time. For me Sabbath is always #1 but the other 2 are tied for 2nd, they are both that good. For Black Sabbath, start with Sweet Leaf and for Priest, Victim of Changes. Due studio versions first for what the song really sounds like. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

I agree all of those bands are super and what I grew up on. however, Iron Maiden is more Progressive Metal. The labels in the 80's were all over Compressed into "Metal or Heavy Metal, you have bands like Europe, Stryper, and Slayer all lumped into the Metal category, thank god 40 years later we have sub genera separations. One other thing Black Sabbath is not really a heavy metal or even metal even tho they are the God Father's of what was to come to be known as Metal, Black Sabbath was more closer to Doom Hard Rock. This is not a slam on your post. To me, it is all freaking great music the whole 70's 80's music was something The 90's had great notable bands but nothing like the 2 decades that came before. IMHO Rob Halford is the ultimate Hard Rock/Metal Singer I am happy someone younger is listening to Dad Metal/Rock 🤘😎🤘

[@vicprovost2561]

@@LordFenixBloodstone Good stuff no matter what you label it, my other favorite metal/hard rockers of that era would include Motorhead and Blue Oyster Cult, Metallica for me is the best of the post Maiden bands in this realm. Great musicians all.

[@chrishartofilax5262]

I remember this album when it came out, I was in 9th grade and the guys in my shop class where playing this cassette every day….it didn’t take long I was hooked, I became a metal head, my whole attitude and life changed…Iron Maiden has the best of everything from the singer, the bass guitarist and 2 excellent lead guitarist who play in perfect harmony together, there is no particular song to recommend but this song is one of my all time favorites, I would recommend the Live after Death album…every song is great!!

[@raymondfunkhouser4804]

Good to see your getting in to the roots of metal music and you have some good Reactions too some of my favorite bands and songs. Keep up the good work.

[@DjFrankieV]

Cliff Burton ( Metallica's bassist ) he was a huge Iron Maiden fan , He bring Iron Maiden influence to Metallica , i can see how he stands on the monitor like Steve Harris ( Iron Maiden )

[@gus5349]

The old live version of this is incredible!!

[@timprice5747]

Yes this is metal, as metal as metal gets. Iron Maiden was one of the bands that developed the genre, and most bands after were influenced by them in some manner. Bruce Dickinson is considered one of the top metal vocalist ever. They are also the best live band ever and still touring and filling arenas. Up the irons!

[@Teh3aZ]

Bruce dickinson for me is the best frontman of all time.

[@128MrRon]

Hey 👋!!!They have a creature who’s name is Eddie and he’s on every cd cover..Eddie is a time traveler and travels through out time and changes…

[@anthonyandrew5749]

Bruce's vocals are good enough that you still fully understand what he is singing live. And their songs are usually better live.

[@SuperWoods26]

oh yeah, rock is right up your alley! The explanation of your analysis clear and concise.

[@peo4989]

Hey so awesome to see you. Im from Sweden and back in 89' i was vacationing with my family 9 years old and bought my first CD in a store somewhere i didnt even have a CD player HAHA. But heck that CD was Iron Maiden's "The number of the beast" album and did i learn those lyrics inside and out those weeks we were camping? Hell yes.In fact the first time i heard that album i reacted just like you did to this song. It was epic and so was your reaction. Good one Lilly and im subbing you. Cheers from Sweden. If i could point you into a epic direction id say to see DIO - Stargazer.....youl get millions of views.

[@timjordan1794]

I just saw them live on September 15th in Tulsa, this was on their set, absolutely phenomenal, you must see them live!!!

Iron Maiden must be live

[@cyberdan42]

Worth noting Hallowed Be Thy Name was released in 1982 and For Whom the Bell Tolls was a 1984 release.

[@csphoenix9]

Definitely METAL - Iron Maiden has been on top of Metal Mountain for YEARS. Bruce Dickinson - Vocals Dave Murray - Guitar Steve Harris - Bass & main song writer Adrian Smith -Guitar Janick Gers - Guitar Nicko McBrain - Drums

[@eq1373]

Gers and McBrain weren't on this album.

[@danielthomas8507]

Interesting to see a young person experiening the music of my youth...i'm 58 and have been a fan of maiden since 1980 and the first album when i was 16. When this music came out heavy metal was a very underground music and the new wave from the UK like Maiden was just so fresh and full of energy that no other genre had at the time , Maiden changed my life and i played in metal bands for years and even though music has changed these guys never shifted from their focus to play honest music ....cheers from New Zealand

[@Vindicator18]

If you are going to check out a live version of this song, the 2001 Rock In Rio version is amazing.

[@liarliarpumpkineater4808]

Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen

[@scottshorts3070]

Run to the hills. The story telling is incredible both lyrically and musically.

[@Omega-D]

Hi Lilly Jane. Loved watching your first experience of Iron Maiden. I had no doubt they would blow you away because they are awesome and you have good taste!😁 Since you like Metal with singers who are in a higher register I would recommend Judas Priest - the most Metal of all Metal bands and the pioneers of the cultural appropriation of Gay Biker bondage gear into Heavy Metal fashion. Painkiller is their heaviest song and Breaking the Law possibly their most well known - both vastly different from each other apart from the studded leather. I also think the greatest American Metal band of 1989 - 1992 deserves your attention Lilly. That band is Skid Row. Words cannot express just how amazing they were on their first two albums. Singer Sebastian Bach has the most incredible singing voice as well as the looks of a super model and hair straight out of a shampoo commercial. Skid Row have so many stunning songs I struggle to reccomend only a couple. At a push I would recommend starting with either Slave To The Grind - their heaviest song or In A Darkened Room - a breathtaking power ballad about the evils of child abuse. The vocals on Darkened Room are mind blowing.🤯 I look forward to your next video, Lilly! 😁🤘🤘

[@vijayendrak8171]

Current Band Lineup - Vocal: Bruce Dickinson Lead Guitars: Dave Murray, Adrain Smith & Janick Gers Bassist: Steve Harris Drums: Nicko McBrain

[@donaldengel4128]

4:13 That palpable urgency is what is missing in today's music that is snapped to a computer grid, and set at one BMP for the whole song. Songs recorded on tape... usually recorded Live flowed according to the drummer and the band themselves, and changed BMP all over the place. What's known as "the groove"... it comes from the interactions between the band. Todays "Pro Tools" music doesn't have those fluctuations in tempo that create that groove.

[@mgmeiaeventpromoter8426]

01:45 one small caveat to your comment. This song was made in 1982 and Metallica's in 1984. Metallica has never hidden their influences, from Queen, Misfits to Iron Maiden. In Metallica's first album on the back cover it is very clear that Iron Maiden is one of their biggest influences. But the Bells is like a kind of thing in Metal songs we can see it in works like "Hells Bells" (AC DC), "In The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" (Iron Miaden) "Leader Of the Pack", cover (Twisted Sisters), "Christmas Truce" (Sabatton), and lot's more 🤘

[@pkj77]

when i was a kid bot liking Metal i said it sounded like swinging a cat by its tale over your head 1982 i was 5 years old loving monsters i had THIS poster on my door from The Number of the beast i had no idear what Iron Maiden stood for i was just like YES monster( Eddie) the mascot and then the Devil. Age 7 1984 i heard a song my dad and i thought was called I wanna Rock, but it was we´re not gonna take it we heard later found out there was a song i wanna rick lol, i turned into a rock kid....forwarding to 1991 age 14 the black album was released i heard Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman was hooked and a guy from my class played mea song in 1992 15 years old with violen in the beginning i thought what the hell is that until the guitar came in it was Megadeth Symphony of Destruction i was hooked of the album Countdown To Extinction

[@jesm1194]

Rock in Rio will blow your mind. Awesome concert

[@chrisporter6891]

This band was awesome when I saw live

[@JCC__BMX]

Increíble la cantidad de "opinadores" de canciones de Iron Maiden, dicen cuatro obviedades y ponen caritas de asombro. ¿Será que Iron Maiden no exige derechos de autor a KZbin y no bloquea los vídeos y muchos oportunistas "crean contenido"? Doy las gracias a los reyes del metal, Iron Maiden. Saludos a la afición.

[@vincegedeon6583]

Incredible song and album💯

The vocalist is Bruce Dickinson, who is also a pilot (not just little 2 or 4 seaters he flies jumbo jets)

Lilly Founder of Iron Maiden and Bassist, Steve Harris calls singer, Bruce Dickinson as "Human Air-Raid Siren"

Doing live reactions to maiden is a must. Fear of the dark in rio is a good one to start with. Also this live makes the song really shine Keep up maiden reactions. Their library is huge. UP THE IRONS. !!!!!

[@paulmorris6177]

Lead singer is Bruce Dickinson. One of the greatest voices in rock (metal) history. Not only trained in classical opera but has a commercial pilot's licenses for 737, 747, and 757!!

[@avisbc]

You really should watch a live version. Also note, when the beat changed, he held a single note for like 13 seconds. With full strength. But seriously, check out the live one.

[@randomfandom4624]

Everything you listen to by iron maiden should be live!! All of it!!

[@BlackieNuff]

You are correct. This title is the second line of the Lord's Prayer : Our Father who art in Heaven Hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done On Earth as it is in Heaven Forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation And deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and power and the glory Forever Amen Or something like that. I'm not religious in the least, so I may have it wrong. For a dark twisted version of this, check out Mercyful Fate's "Lucifer" track : Our Father who art in Hell Hallowed by Thy name Thy kingdom has come, Thy will is done On Earth as it is in Hell We take this night our rightful due And trespass not on the path of Thee Lead us unto temptation And deliver us from false deities For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory Forever Shemhamforash It's only 90 seconds long, and basically serves as the album opener.

That is THE live version in my opinion.

Up the Irons! More Maiden please!

[@PestreiterT]

Maiden were my metal kickoff when I was 13. Steve Harris influenced me a lot to become a bass player. One of my favourite songs is "The evil that men do". And you should try Killers (the song from the same named Album). They had another singer with a bit more punk attitiude.

[@RedLP5000S]

Bruce Dickinson the "Air Raid Siren" \m/ Congratulations on hearing your first Iron Maiden song. You have opened yourself up to an amazing new chapter in your life!

So good to see your reaction to maiden, can't wait till you hear more... Especially rime of the ancient mariner, dear of the dark, paschendale and up to there newest., Writing on the wall.. Up the Irons!!!

[@FreakinSweet86]

A landmark album not only in Metal music history, but also for the band itself. They fired their original vocalist Paul Di'Anno and hired former Samson lead Bruce Dickinson. With the lineup change, came a change in musical style too. Iron Maiden were one of the more well known acts among the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM or Nuh-Wob-Um), a subgenre of Metal that mixed classic 70's rock and metal with Punk. The band took the opportunity to take a new direction, not only because of the lineup change, but because NWOBHM was on its way out. With Number of the Beast came a more classic heavy metal sound with elements of prog and amazing vocals that were a complete contrast to Di'Anno's more sharper, rougher and punkier delivery. Paul brought attitude, Bruce brought stage presence and bravado. Where Paul was comfortable in smaller venues, Bruce commands arenas. All this and more pretty much catapulted Maiden to the top and pretty much rode that wave of success through to the end of the 80's. Even today their albums hit the top 10, some reach number 1, they sell out areas around the world and even Lady Gaga loves them. Hallowed Be Thy Name is a great closer to the album but is even better live, hell I'd say any Maiden song played live is worth listening/watching. I won't overwhelm you with recommendations, there are plenty here in the comments but I would stick to their 80's output for now, familiarise yourself and then listen to more recent tracks.

[@DHARMN00]

one suggestion for diving head first into this rabbit hole, follow in my footsteps...... watch " Live After Death" beginning to end. Fantastic concert footage.

Contemplating his life, knowing his death is coming, the five final stages of grief run through this man: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance .... *Awesome lyrics!* _(Ps- We don't know if he's innocent or guilty)_
