I love that Kel;, as a Maiden-newbie, recognizes the kick-ass HARRIS bass-play!!!

Guys, I love how you are taking the Iron Maiden path with such passion. There are plenty of Maiden songs I'd like you to react to, and one of them is Caught Somewhere in Time. I hope you can react to that one soon and keep up that feeling! Greetings from Chile, you now have a new subscriber.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

This was our first LIVE reaction, so it felt way different. I agree about the studio version first but for this one, we wanted to go to LIVE to see. THANK YOU FOR THE KEEN EYE on this. 100% agree.

Fun fact, this is not an interpretation of the Opera. This was actually a book in the early 1900's based in France. There were two early movie adaptations, in a spooky movie style. Maiden wrote this song and it was released in 1980, based off the book. The opera by Webber didn't come out til 1986

[@michaelcowey1468]

A bit of trivia for you all. The intro for this song was used in an advert for lucazade back in the 1980s. Featuring the athlete Daley Thompson.

[@eyeq7730]

I'm sure it was used for the Grand Prix racing coverage around the same time too!

And just to say lady Gaga is big Maiden fan, and she said on one interview, everybody says that I'm new madona, NO! I gonna be new iron Maiden XD and she was on Maiden show and she says that she can't believe how band is connected to audience and that energy when Maiden hit the stage to the very last song, and she was totally right...

All reactors go to the live version when it comes to my most favorite Maiden songs! Phantom Of The Opera, Dance Of Death... I firmly believe first reaction to ALMOST any song should be the studio version. For this one the sound quality and tones are more impactful and fulfilling, the vocals suit Dianno more, the solos are better in the studio version. I know it's not your fault, I wish people stopped requesting live versions as a 1st time reaction.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

This was our first LIVE reaction, so it felt way different. We had so many requests and 'demands' to hear one live. I agree about the studio version first but for this one, we wanted to go to LIVE to see. THANK YOU FOR THE KEEN EYE on this. 100% agree.

[@shawnjohnson3228]

That entire original Iron Maiden album is a masterpiece. This version has Bruce on the vocals, but Paul Di'Anno is the lead singer on the album, and he has a much gruffer, punk sound. Both are amazing. In fact, this song is what led to Bruce wanting to join the band.

Hey guys, 46 year old man and bought my first heavy metal album in 1983 at age of 11 and it was Iron Maiden Number of the Beast. I remember how I loved it and forever was a metal fan with great respect for the talent. i saw the excitement I felt in those early years while watching your videos. For those bitchers remember if you want to listen to the song then turn it on and not a reaction video. Enjoy the excitement of it as I felt so many years ago. There is people who will complain no matter what you do but I want the excitement back yu had with the first videos.

[@marinhrabric6162]

Ryley yesss

[@jameshartwell413]

Phantom Of the Opera is such an Iron Maiden classic. Just like Hallowed Be Thy Name. This version is extended from the original studio version and even the original live version because now they have 3 guitarists. That is so all 3 have a solo. Back then, they only had 2. I so love when the guitars harmonize like they almost always do in Maiden's songs. Would you please react to their song When the Wild Wind Blows from their 2010 album The Final Frontier?

[@GloriaaCristo2011]

Just to make sure we are on the same page with the date... it was recorded on October 1984 and re-released on 1995 and remastered in 1998.

[@Dragonblaster1]

One of the greatest things about Maiden is the way the two (now three) guitarists work together.

[@oknein9356]

bravo kel bravo!!! ur xplanation is great!

[@patrick1234]

I recommended the live version because I personally like it better with Bruce Dickinson singing it better than their original singer Paul Di'Anno (on their first 2 studio albums, Killers and Iron Maiden). Di'Anno's version is just different .... GOOD ... but different. I like the fuller sound from the live versions years after the studio version and with Bruce singing. Guessing MANY people will prefer the Di'Anno version ... but it's all good. Glad you liked the version that I fell in love with back in 1985 from the Live After Death live recording.

[@rohantiwari7801]

I am one of the biggest fan of Bruce Dickinson and I know he is way way way better than Di anno but this song belongs to di anno and the studio version is sick.

[@uoabigaillevey]

Was gonna say this sounded exactly identical to the version from Live After Death.. which was confusing due to the title of the reaction indicating 1998.. so this is a remaster, made in 1998, of the version from the Live After Death album.. and not a performance from 1998, remastered lol.

[@AgentLemmon]

If anything Paul Di Anno deserves some well deserved attention, probably the most underrated singer in heavy metal.

[@AgentLemmon]

@@nickkraitor6560 I think nobody will disagree with that. Paul Di Anno however brought a rough edge to his sound, while Bruce is more operatic and theatrical. I prefer Di Anno, but then again he probably couldn't have sang many of the songs Bruce sang.

[@Aethyrs]

I like to piss on yer parade, but can't. I do like Pauls better. But you gave your opinion too good. Horns up mate!

[@chrisbudberg8769]

Just discovered your channel. Liking what I hear so far. Just subbed. So this song is actually off their first studio album in 1980. "Live" after death is their first live concert release. The original singer Paul di'anno was fired after their 2nd album. Number of the beast is the first album with Bruce Dickenson. Whom later left for a few years to go solo and other progects. Replaced by blaze bayley from 94 - 99. Thank God Bruce came back. You really need to do a live reaction. I noticed you don't show the vids on screen so that would be great. You will appreciate how great they really are seeing them live. I would suggest FEAR OF THE DARK live rock n Rio. . Insane how pricise and good they are live. Better than the studio version in most cases. Anyway sorry for the length of this. I'm just passionate about maiden. I'm 47 and listened to them right from jump. UP THE IRONS !!!!!

I was a little confused at that title?? You said Live After Death which was a live album from the Powerslave tour at Long Beach Arena 1985, 1998? Hammersmith Odeon in London? would have been too small a venue plus Bruce Dickinson wasn't with them then?? He left in 94' and rejoined in 99' I think what you were listening too was Live at Hammersmith 1983! I also picked up on Kel saying I love what they've done with it?? Maybe I misunderstand but this is an Iron Maiden song? It was on their 1st album self titled circa 1980, Paul Di'Anno.. I got it! The double CD was 2 show's the CD was remastered and released in 1998! The actual show (Hammersmith) was in 1983! And Long Beach 1985, Little bit of digging added some clarity! :)

Eh... "Live" as in live performance (concert). This song is NOT actually part of The Phantom Of The Opera (the musical) but rather about the story, which pre-dates the musical. The Nightwish one was actually a cover of the title track from the play itself. Lot of great songs on Iron Maiden's debut self-titled album. I'm new to the channel, so I don't know if it was already done, but I recommend either Remember Tomorrow or Strange World. Both are fantastic songs from the first album.

For your continued Maiden experience I would recommend Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, the song. It's 9 minutes but in my opinion it's possibly Maiden's best 'epic' long song. You loved Mariner, I would take Seventh Son over Mariner every day of the week.For other bands, You'd love early Rainbow stuff (Stargazer especially) and you should give bands like Stratovarius a listen.
