I fail to see why 80s artists would ever be embarrassed looking back at what they wore back in the day. If anything, it's the artists of today who should be embarrassed about not looking nearly as cool. In fact, these days you have to look far and wide to find a contemporary artist that doesn't look downright lame.

[@mattiaspersson9560]

[@erikthompson619]

@@KoalityReactions I'm from Sweden. With us, it has never gone away. You still meet people - not merely 80s survivors either - in "denim, studs and leather" heavy metal gear, and/or big hair glam & sleaze outfits Mötley Crüe style. Not to mention, we have a plethora of new, talented and successful bands from both genres. Ironically, there is no such thing as a contemporary grunge movement: contrary to popular belief, 80s music wasn't killed off by grunge, we merely had to wait for grunge to kill off itself and bands like Hammerfall to reintroduce 80s esthetics with a vengeance in the late 90s.

I first started listening the band in1982. Now..my grown up kids do it with me. And even my grandkid is already stomping his little foot on Iron Maiden. Greetings from Brazil!!

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

You don't just get awesome music with Iron Maiden, you get a history lesson, a lot of their songs deal with history & mythology. Iron Maiden have had 3 singers; Paul D'anno, Blaze Bayley & Bruce Dickinson, Bruce is by far the longest serving. Maiden started out in the late 70's and are still going strong today, and they're still awesome live. You choose the right version to react to btw.. Great reaction. 👍🏻🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@erikthompson619]

Well, to be quite specific, Iron Maiden have RECORDED with three singers, but all in all they've had five. Paul Day (later to join the Sweet) and Dennis Wilcock were the two singers who preceded Paul Di'Anno. Steve Harris is the only member that has been in literally every incarnation of Iron Maiden.

[@bigredrocks2521]

I'd also add that a lot of their songs are based on literature. 😉

[@lw3918]

Iron Maiden has been around for over 40 years. Nobody writes songs like them and Nobody sounds like them. They sound live exactly like they sound on their albums, they're that good.

[@1970Phoenix]

Maiden are legends, and I love their music. As a fan of the NWOBHM sound (Maiden, Priest etc.), I'm always on the lookout for modern bands that play that style of metal. A couple of years ago, I discovered LOVEBITES, a Japanese, all-female band that are clearly heavily influenced by Maiden, and are elite musicians. Maybe you'll like them, maybe not, but here is a link to one of their live songs so you can judge for yourself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJikqaN7paqWpNE

I saw them live in 1987, when I was17. Thanks for explaining what "shred" is 😊. Normal people didn't dress like that unless they were artsy types, or musicians. Thanks for giving them respect 🙏

[@JimmyRJump]

Saw the lads on that same tour at the 1982 U.K. Reading Rock Festival. Bruce Dickinson was such an unexpected but wonderful replacement for singer Paul DiAnno. This here is maybe their best rendition of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" ever recorded. Greetings from Belgium.

[@chicagoconcertchannel4031]

Definitely one of the best Bruce performances ever captured on video. Luckily this show and tour captured in quality video. Most bands weren't during this time sadly. (I actually saw them 5 times on the American debut tour. Life changing and beyond words (for a young kid :) One of them a famous show that helped break them in America thar Bruce still mentions sometimes. (Navy Pier show, Chicago. 2-3k people expected. I think turnout was 30k people . Pure insanity. This vid is the closest to that show so I have a soft spot for this vid and Hammersmith show video

[@jamjar47]

Oh yeah ! Iron Maiden is the top of the English Rock tree for straight ahead Rock Music :) They did have another singer which has been mentioned (Paul Di'Anno) Bruce Dickinson is a very talented guy ,not only is he a Rock Singer but he is a Qualified Airline Pilot who has flown for commercial Airline companies ,he even fly's Iron Maidens own chartered tour Airline 'Ed Force One' and he was an Olympic Fencing Medallist .He has won two World Championship silver medals (1998, 1999) and two European bronze medals (1995, 1997) and was 5th in the 2000 Olympics. Another of the bands that i have seen more than once live , once at Donnington in 98 and London in 2020 ,so many tracks to choose for another review of Iron Maiden ,but as mentioned 'Dance of Death' is a good one ha!

[@flavio_spqr]

Bruce was part of the National English Fencing Team, but he never went to the Olympics, let alone win a medal. That's just a myth. He fenced against an Olympic medallist in 2013, as part of a warm-up session. That's it.

[@leftundersun]

Yes, Iron Maiden did have others singers. Before Bruce there was Paul Di'Anno, you should check out their performance of "Phantom of the opera" with Paul, it's great !

[@Mike_H76]

The exceptional level of 1982 coordination and communication to ensure that nobody is wearing the same wrist band is impeccable!!! Details like that let you know they were never big into... ahem... partying.

I my teen years was in the 80s lol .. YES, I look back and think WTH ? It was a big change from starting my teenage years in the late 70s to being in my 20s in the 90s .. 70s , 80s, and 90s was such a change in music ,hair style, and the way we dressed. Iron maiden was definitely before their time. Going to one of their concerts was a bunch of things rapped up into one from a rock concert to a Broadway play to a musical performance. They were brilliant musicians. One of the greatest rock bands ever with awsome concept albums. I'm 55 now but you can still see me head banging in my car to iron maiden, minus the hair of course 😂

I was a teen in the 80's, and am a Maiden fan from that time. This is at the very pinnacle of their ability.

[@jimcampbell5464]

This is why Maiden and Nightwish are my favorite bands, The musicians are top level, just utterly amazing, But more importantly the subject matter of the lyrics are incredible, Its like a musical audio book, Alot of bands have shitty lyrics but those 2 bands in my opinion take me on a journey with each song.

[@jarkkokyntaja4073]

Time machine, reacting to Iron Maiden, isn´t it. Next, the most epic song of theirs, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner ! Do the 1985 live version, so your time machine jumps in between, you began with 2011 Fear Of The Dark, continued with 1982 Hallowed Be Thy Name, so it would be nice to end the triple with 1985 Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. It is a treat, believe me !!!

[@bayareathrasher666]

I went to this tour “Number of the Beast” July 82’ Oakland,Ca. I was 13. This is Maiden at their best! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻

[@SpawnMeister666]

Differences between Iron Maiden in 1982 and Iron Maiden in 2023. The drummer was replaced not too long after this show due to 'creative differences' between him and Steve Harris - bassplayer, main songwriter, and ONLY ever present member of the band. Clive Burr (drummer in this show) died of complications from Multiple Scerosis in 2013, and Iron Maiden did benefit shows for him and his family, and MS research, so whatver differences there were leading up to him leaving the band the respect between them all never ended. Other than that, the main difference was a third guitarist (Janick Gers), who joined Iron Maiden in 1990 when Adrian Smith left. But when Adrian Smith came back they worked out a way to include all three guitarists instead of one replacing the other... Also, and this cannot be stressed enough - this performance was FORTY ONE years ago!

[@Scottybravo1]

I was in an Iron Maiden tribute band and this was my favorite song to play

[@chrisbricky7331]

Great reaction and thanks for sharing. This is a story of a man facing death for his own actions. He is going thru stages of grief and his anger at God. The last bars of the song are an imitation of a hanging man kicking his feet. You can hear the song build in tempo as his heart is racing as he realizes he is getting closer and closer to death. In the end, he cries out for God and redemption. Chris

[@chrisbricky7331]

If you watch the crowd you realize unlike most Iron Maiden concerts where you see the crowd singing with the song. This concert actually came out a few days before this album and song were released. Most of the Crowd had never seen Bruce sing and had not heard the new songs on the new album. Before Bruce, they had a singer who was more punk oriented. So watching the crowd see Bruce and what Iron Maiden was becoming was a joy. I got to see them on this concert tour and have since seen them during 5 different decades including last year for my 5th decade. They are just amazing musicians and even with Bruce fighting throat cancer he nailed his performances. His voice isn't the same, but he gave it all for us. I would still pay to see them again. Chris

[@_eclipz_]

Happy to see someone reacting to this version instead of the later ones :)

[@norwegianblue2017]

So glad you picked this version, definitely the best! This era of late 70s-early 80s is primo British Metal era. Judas Priest and Maiden were in a class by themselves. The showmanship is just off the charts.

[@purpleir]

This band just makes me so happy!

[@luizarruda3229]

Great reaction. As a 48 year old Iron Maiden fan (and a fan of the band since I was 12) is a pleasure to see people listening to their songs for the first time and realising how good they are. I started playing the bass guitar thanks to Mr. Steve Harris. You should listen to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, another masterpiece from Iron Maiden. Greetings from Brazil.

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

They should be listened to from the bassist's point of view. She mentioned the song composition and I'm pretty sure he's behind most of it.

[@philsswweightlossdiary2944]

This is almost the same people as the Fear of the Dark video you watched except for the drummer and one guitarist. To keep a somewhat convoluted story short - the drummer here is Clive Burr. He was fired after this tour and replaced by Nicko McBrain, who has been the drummer since. Janick Gers joined in 1990 and, to cut out a lot of again convoluted history, is now part of a 3 guitar system. The Fear of the Dark video has 6 members including Nicko and Janick. This one has 5 members including Clive and no Janick. But I’d recommend reading the history of the band, otherwise this comment would be twice as long as it already is!

[@DarrellW_UK]

Great to see you back to Maiden Jenna, great reaction as always! Going back to the earlier days is really a great move, if you’re the right age (like me) it brings back some great memories. I saw them a bit later in 1998 at Donnington, it was an amazing experience 🤘🏻 Bruce is the greatest rock singer from that era beyond any shadow of a doubt, amazing vocal talent! More please, Dance of death would be great! 🌹

[@stevehanson2398]

Thanks for another great reaction to Iron Maiden👍🏻This was the definitive version we all suggested on your last reaction to them. I thought you'd like it and I'm glad you did. It's really entertaining watching your journey through their music. You could call it your "maiden voyage"😂The music is every bit as important as the lyrics, as you said. Maiden are masters at setting the scene and creating an atmosphere and Bruce is fantastic at telling the story. If you liked this one, I would suggest you might also like Dance of Death live En Vivo or The Rime of the Ancient Mariner live flight 666. If you fancy something different, you could try Alexander the Great studio version. Keep making us all smile and.......Up the Irons!!!

[@user-dt1xz2dg3v]

Oh this is fantastic! Simply epic! Classic motifs from the past! I love it when the cathedral on guitars is played in intervals. Amazing atmosphere! And of course the beautiful Jenna is with us again) Beautiful video❤

[@MattSwain1]

I’d say performances like this are why Iron Maiden became so successful rather than just a footnote in music history. For context in 1982 they were only just about to make it big with the number of the beast album that this track was from and yet you still got a show like this. The first two albums did quite well but it was this album (and the arrival of Bruce) where things really took off. It’s true that they were founded in 1975 but they played pub gigs then. I think 1980 saw their first proper album released, so things started happening at a pace from then onwards

[@metalmark1214]

Man, to think I was listening to this about the time it came out and you hadn't been born yet. Time does fly.

[@chrisvanallsburg]

[@sotkajarvi]

Fear of the dark was released in 1992. The three major lead singers are Paul Di''Anno(78-81), Bruce Dickinson(81-93 and 99 to present) and Blaze Bayley(94-99). The first lead singer was Paul Mario Day(75-76) and he was replaced by Dennis Wilcock(76-78).

[@allengray5748]

GREAT REACTION!! So the album before this is called KILLERS and has a different singer and is every bit as phenomenal as this one; The Number Of The Beast!

Maiden is my favorite band of all time, and this is easily one of their best songs. I was born a year after this album was released and I grew up on this stuff. Glad to see so many different people from different backgrounds appreciating classic heavy metal. 'Pantera - Cemetery Gates' is a great metal reaction for vocals if you get around to it. And obviously Maiden reactions put a smile on my face too.

My first concert was in 1982 and it was Iron Maiden opening for Judas Priest. I went to see Maiden because I had bought their Number of the Beast the month before the show solely because of the album cover art and loved their music. Maiden more than held their own against the mighty Priest that night and I knew Maiden was going to be special.

Hi Koality.. Up the Irons!! Such a great band with so many awesome songs and albums.. So glad you came back to them and thank you for doing this track... So many memories of an awesome misspent youth Lol Such an Iconic band.. This is my favorite version. They have inspired so many musiciens and bands over the years. One of my favorite bands, Lovebites. has a very strong Maiden influence. Hard to believe 5 beautiful Japanese ladies all under or just over 5' would be inspired by Iron maiden. One of Lovebites founders Miho their original bass player (recently parted with the band and replaced by 20 year old Fami bass virtuoso) Is inspired by Steve Harris the founder of Iron maiden. She holds her bass low down and plays with her fingers like he does. Their combination of Midori and Miyako on twin lead guitars give the same feel to their music as did Dave Murray and Adrian Smith to Iron maiden with their intricate, blistering, contrasting solos. They have written and produced a dedication song to Iron maiden called the Crusade I can't post the link for you but here is the tab for your KZbin search bar if you want to watch it - Lovebites - The Crusade [Live in Tokyo 2021] (ENG/SPA SUBS) It's a cracker!!

The song covers the 5 stages of grief.. 1) Denial - Can it be that there's some sort of error? 2) Anger (or in this case fear) - its not easy to stop from screaming. 3) Bargaining - Don't I believe that there never is an end? 4)Depression - Though the end is near, I'm not sorry. 5)Acceptance - Mark my words believe my soul lives on. Not many people seem to notice this. Also it is very clever the way its structured to have all 5 in a short space of time and in the right order... genius songwriting.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@Koality Reactions: You got most of what the lyrics are about, as it is about a man on Death Row who is living the final hour of his life. However, he goes through the five stages of grief. And when he realizes he is, in fact, going to die, his heart rate speeds up -- and the music tempo matches this by also speeding up. He then shouts out an act of final defiance, when he shouts out, "Hallowed be Thy Name!" Funny enough, this performance is older than I am (I was born in 1983), and it is the Ghost Love Score of the 1980s.

"Drummer" Iron Maiden started in 1977 and has always been my favorite band, yes they actually had 3 singers Bruce was of course the most accomplished and ever will be. Bruce loved fencing and is a pilot they have there own big ass jet, Bruce flies them to all concerts now. "Steve Harris" the Bass player started the band and writes 95% of the songs. there mascot "Eddy" is famous in hi own right but few Know he started out as "head" He was just a Head in the background. Yes I'm old 56.

Iron Maiden has countless + ! But if I had to mention one, it's the vocal signature of Bruce. There are two singers I can recognize (blindly) in less than one second: Freddie Mercury and Bruce Dickinson.

Hello Koality! Even though the subject of this song is about a condemned man in his last hours, the story is shared/sung in such a way that even though none of us can empathize with the man about to be strung up, most CAN empathize with struggling to cope with our own mortality. At the first of the piece the man was horrified at the thought of death, but towards the end he realized he had nothing to fear due to his belief in the next life. Such a great song, and Bruce (as you so rightly said) nailed it perfectly.

I never thought I would hear anyone compare Johnny Cash to Iron Maiden but you are spot on with a story line in music. It makes no difference what kind of music it is, when you can listen and understand the meaning of them & they have deep content makes it even better. Obviously ... Iron Maiden 's band rock's way, wayyyy more than Johnny Cash's. haha

I was fortunate enough to see this tour in Portland, Oregon in 82' Girlschool, opened then Iron Maiden, and the Scorpions headlined still one of the best shows I've seen to date🤘

I saw this tour I 1985 live long Beach arena yes that famous concert on video, my first concert at age 12

Steve Harris is a genius. His incorporation of blending Celtic reels into heavy metal rhythms are iconic. You could play 10 seconds of a brand new Maiden song with zero vocals and I could immediately place the artist. Such a unique sound.

Yes this is Bruce and yes they have had different singers. They started out with Paul Di'Anno on the first two albums. He's a bit more punk rock but he's really good also. And then they had a different singer for one album while Bruce was off doing a solo thing. Blaze Bailey. He's also good but a lot of people blamed him for the crime of not being Bruce.

Blaze did two albums. He was on The X-Factor and Virtual XI.
