Hurm1t Reacts To Iron Maiden Alexander The Great FIRST EVER LIVE

[@salommy]

OMG he’s finally back reacting to Maiden! Sorry about the seizures.

[@andyreid6826]

I never thought I could have more respect for these guys. Pushing 70 except Nicko who is 72. To take this song on this tour is nuts. I am blown away.

[@metalmark1214]

Close, Michael Henry "Nicko" McBrain just turned 71 on June 5, 2023.

@@metalmark1214 Thx 😉

[@libero3493]

Up the Irons! I will be in Bilbao Spain to see them for the first time I'm so exited

[@lukanovak1492]

I was there and it was incredible... Everyone was in shock when we heared that intro

[@ironlurker]

Truly a historic moment for the band. It's truly amazing how they can continue to play at a Master level after 40+ years...

[@AMOLAD79]

You should go see them live during this tour. This is an epic moment for the Maiden fans.

[@linkvagar2336]

Bruce holding that last note for so long at his age given what he's been through is pretty crazy

[@robinsongrilli7227]

It’s good to say that it was the very first concert. The more concerts are done, the better vocal performance Bruce is gonna get. It’s just the beginning! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@humbertogomez2076]

Agree

[@troywilkinson160]

I wish that were true. Bruce’s voice is very aged now. He still sounds decent but he is struggling to deliver. Time for the key change.

[@robinsongrilli7227]

@@troywilkinson160 it is indeed, but even an aged voice needs time to get better.

[@jsmoor4988]

I so hope that an official video will be released soon…… It would be a crime if they didn’t for all fans waiting so many years for this moment 🤘🎸🤘

[@IRONBEAST_]

First performance of the song but they improved a lot after that if yoy watch the second night of Prague! Perfect solos by the boys, they all had a lot of anxiety, we can see and feel it but wow. You should check out them performing Caught Somewhere In Time in Prague too!

[@Ar0n_]

YEAAHHH ANOTHER MAIDEN REACTION AFTER FEW FUCKING MONTHS! I was at thia concert in Ljubljana! It was one of my, no fuck it, IT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!! ❤🤘🏻❤🎶🎶🤘🏻🎶❤❤❤❤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@helgaratbone1691]

Goosebumps!! Hey Herm! Hope you’re doing well!!!!!! Peace n Love, Bro!!!

[@craigmcgregor9465]

Well ma hurm. I jst saw them in glasgow monday night, and they blew the f***in doors off. Bruce sounds 30 years younger. gig was immense start to finish, sounded awesome, and the visuals were incredible. Cant believe how good they were. Best gig of my life. U got to c them live. Will change ur life. Still buzzing. 🤘

[@ade4864]

Great to see you back on the Maiden wagon dude 😁🤘

[@danw4490]

Yes!!! I'm glad you recovered. Your return is Maiden is as legendary as this song, which is awesome! This entire new concert setlist/performance is awesome!

[@SteveMcbrain]

I was there. It was incredible. I cried lol

[@dolphin8077]

Yesssss finally they DID it!!! Playing Alexander the great is EPIC. Can't wait to see and hear it next month. Up the irons 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💜💜💜🎸

[@stevehunterimoc666]

I was in the pit for this , my 202nd time seeing them

[@MrLA666]

They’ve done I think, 5 concerts already, and the song is better everytime! I’ve seen it at the live streaming and cried through out it. U should react to the Blade Runner Theme/Caught Somewhere in Time. It’s phenomenal and there are some crazy good videos out there. Can’t wait to check’em out in july. Up the Irons!!!

[@IanPotts-lv6os]

Fantastic show saw them in Birmingham England stunning keep it maiden

[@darthsven9852]

I was there that night! Truly amazing 🔥

[@troywilkinson160]

Hurm!!!!!!! Yes! You’re back.

[@marcelonigra6741]

@hurm1t Reacts i was there! also went to the 2 concerts in Prague, flew all the way from the US !!! Maiden fan since 92, it was a long time coming man. when they announced the future past tour last year with the SIT theme I had high hopes they would finally play this song so I took a huge gamble and went for it and they fucking did it!! it was a huge payoff man, I cannot describe it in words. Well worth the $$$ spent.

[@steinovemjeldheim5132]

I saw the show yesterday in Bergen, and it was friggin' awesome! Two hours of pure joy,this setlist kills it! And a truly beautiful evening with warm, sunny weather. (Which by the way didn't do no good for their light show - the sun sets approx. at 23 o'clock here in Norway these days.) And yeah, "Alexander" was definitely a highlight of a great night! 🥹🤘

[@myaramiu]

Awesome! Hope you're feeling better after your seizures. As a person with epilepsy I know how devastating they can be. Thanks for putting this out though, every Iron Maiden fan was so excited for this and seeing others be happy about it is always awesome.

[@egrsok9388]

Their longevity and sustained high-level performance is evidence of a clean lifestyle. Hell, they're even playing soccer games and Harris is performing live and traveling with British Lion at the same time as this tour! They're a model band.

[@1234567890196]

Glad to have you back glad you have recovered well I have listened to this a couple of times it just brilliant

[@502Imcomingthrough]

Maiden are always in their prime, which is why they are the GOAT

[@sweenster27]

1:44 when you mention the t-shirt, I happened to have got it last month on payday. It helps that my name is Alexander (Alex) so maybe a wee bit of vanity there, but seeing as I won't be able to see Maiden this year, I needed a piece of merch of some shape, form or fashion. I just hope I see them again before they retire but shows here in Northern Ireland are far and few between 😢

[@humbertogomez2076]

I can’t stop listening to every live version of this amazing song!!! Is getting better every day!

[@moonchildah]

Insane surprise. This will be a treat to watch with you! 🤘

[@AndyTheRoo]

Hey Hurm, hope you're doing well my friend, sad to hear about the grand mal seizures, but good to see you back!!😃 The setlist for this tour is brilliant with some great surprises 1. Caught Somewhere in Time (first time live since 1987!!) 2. Stranger in a Strange Land (first time live since 1999) 3. The Writing on the Wall 4. Days of Future Past 5. The Time Machine 6. The Prisoner (a very pleasant, and probably the biggest surprise) 7. Death of the Celts 8. Can I Play with Madness 9. Heavan Can Wait (first time live since 2008) 10. Alexander the Great (first time EVER!!) 11. Fear of the Dark 12. Iron Maiden -- Encore -- 13. Hell on Earth 14. The Trooper 15. Wasted Years Btw, if you want to listen to a recording of Caught Somewhere in Time, I wouldn't recommend the Ljublania version as Bruce fucked up the first set of verses.

[@szithaanu9934]

I'm seeing this show on the 25th in Dublin. Can't fucking wait.

[@thedepot7416]

good to see you herm, plenty of songs from the tour to react to

[@GildedPoo]

Maiden has their crew recording professional footage, so I'm hoping for a DVD.

[@badmotorbreath5206]

IRON MAIDEN THE GREAT!! Thank you so much for giving it a go, I’m wrapped it exceeded your expectations. Agree it was a stunning performance. After 37 years, the song has aged like the finest of red wines. My only question is…why did they wait so long?!? Anyway, fingers crossed they make it to Australia soon 🤘

[@talismanmia2537]

Saw this on 5/31 in Prague and also saw the SIT tour in 1986, when it was post-Powerslave tour and Bruce was not in top form every night. I think what we're seeing now with this song is better than what they would have produced in 1986-87, especially with the addition of a 3rd guitar. They killed it the 2nd night in Prague, totally killed it.

[@GildedPoo]

Anyone else notice Bruce forgot his lyrics for a moment near the end of the track? Lol

[@zisisamp]

Steve said that they are going to put this on dvd later on

[@danw4490]

I've been waiting so many years for this song to be done live. Stranger in a Strange Land and Caught Somewhere in Time are also performed in the new concert setlist. And best of all is Hell on Earth, which is freaking amazing!

[@mauricioalvarado2183]

Loved your reaction Hurm, can´t wait to see them again for this tour. Last time I saw them back in Sep22 for the Legacy of the Beast tour it was their best performance ever in my view (had seen them twice before). Nicko just turned 71 which is awesome but truth is they are still rocking and better than a lot of younger bands. Up the IRONS!!

[@ahmettahsinertas2652]

They are at their 70s and still kick ass, Bruce sounds and looks Sharp, boys play those solos nearly as in the studio version. Why 38 later? So fucking legandary. Hats off

[@alexandremaireno-ni4ec]

Actually only Nicko is 71. Steve is 67, Bruce is 64 and The 3 Amigos are 66

[@tonyperez3920]

Nice reaction H.👍 I can guarantee you they're going to do a DVD of this tour I think they might wait until they go to the Latin countries. Or maybe surprise us with Australia or Canada or Puerto Rico. I just can't wait

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

Hurm we love you dude, you are straight up genuine with your reactions, no acting, and honest when music don't fit your expectations but it's valid, so that makes you genuine. Just take care of yourself and fellas, if you recommend a video for this dude to watch.. if it's lots of flashes just let him know or recommend the studio version if possible. We love you Hurm!!

[@FIFASEASONGAMING]

Good to see a new Maiden reaction Hurm my friend!! How good to finally see them play this live. I’m seeing them on the 30th in Manchester then 2 days later in Nottingham. I’m taking my 6 year old son to his first gig too. I cannot fucking wait. Maiden gigs number 10 and 11 for me 🤘🤘🤘

[@teemukoivunen3106]

Went to my first Maiden concert in 2003, 20 years ago. I've seen every tour since. Saw them on this tour on 03/06 and it was everything I could have ever dreamed of. A perfect opening duo with CSIT and SIASL. Then The Prisoner, ATG, Hell on Earth... Nearly perfect setlist. If only they had played any other song from 7th than CIPWM. Would have loved to hear The Clairvoyant. Watching songs from this tour brings a tear to my eye, it was just that good.

[@robinsongrilli7227]

You should react live Maiden albums, specially those without overdubs, like Beast over Hammersmith (first one with Bruce) and Maiden England. Amazing performances, and you can clearly see the evolution of the Bruce’s voice (he reaches every high note on Hammersmith). 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@socrates9789]

At last! 37 years after! Macedonia: part of Greece - Hellas, forever!

[@amaderuelo]

Take a look at Caught somewhere in time 'cause is just spectacular but be carefull with the flashy lights at the beginning.

[@richardnewbold6155]

Go Adrian go, In case anyone needed proof he his a guitar god 🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘 Hope they bring this tour your way and you get to see this live yourself, I can't wait to see them LIVE in Nottingham England, Oh only a few weeks now🙂🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧

[@ironlurker]

Hurmie, go see them if you can. You have to experience them live, there's nothing else like it. But don't worry, I'm positive there will be an official DVD/CD of this tour.

[@texazmade713]

Listen to 10 seconds of it I know u will love it

[@humbertogomez2076]

You should do the reaction of caught somewhere in time and hell on earth ! I recommend the second concert in Finland 🇫🇮

[@moonchildah]

Pretty sure this will turn in to a live album/dvd as they didnt record the original Somewhere in Tour in 80’s

[@1234567890196]

I am glad they didn’t do it back in 86 87 because we won’t be having this tour now I can’t wait until July the 3rd In Nottingham

[@astragalusson]

Watch other angles and some other performances from following concerts. Tears keep coming every time I see another one... :)

[@Mycoloco]

There’s a new woodie track you need to do a reaction to. Big Tone featuring woodie. Rivertown. You’ll love it.

[@MsBenlane]

and not smoking, bruce has never smoked and this also gave him an advantage in fighting throat cancer.and harris has played footie for a long time and some play tennis and bruce has fencing so they have kept fit'

[@alexandremaireno-ni4ec]

They simply could not end their career without ever performing this song live...It would be just wrong!!!

[@powerslave312]

Need to watch the ones from Finland and prague band is alot more tighter

[@wahwahgaboor]

Probably sound better in some ways with 3 guitarists re extra depth of sound. The origional tour footage you see on this tour Bruce is a bit short of air/effort in a lot of places - definitely better here :)

[@MetalCrusader32]

Amazing isn’t it

[@1234567890196]

A great video upload but watch a upload from the Finland show it’s just as good

[@JD.Knight]

Gotta check out a live version of Hell On Earth. Its just as good if not better than this one.

[@stevored1989]

it's pronounced Loobliana
