Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner Flight 666 DVD HD - Our Reaction Suesueandthewolfman

[@AMOLAD79]

I went to see them during this tour and seeing 10 and 12 year old kids singing this song word by word was something spectacular.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Must have been amazing !

[@6li8storm40]

I have tickets for October. Last time I saw them was 2019. Eight of us went as a group, including my husband and four kids. I was the oldest in our group, in my early 59s. The youngest was 10. We all had a blast.

“Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink . . . ” From the “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by the 19th Century English Poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his lengthy 1798 poem, once pondered by all who studied English Literature. So, it is from this poem;-) Up the mighty Irons!!!!

[@ericlenouy8756]

Aaaaahhhh Maiden 🥰 Yes, there are 3 guitar players in Iron Maiden. Adrian Smith left the band in the early early nineties, was replaced by Janick Gers, and the when he came back 10 years later, they decided to keep Janick with them anyways. It's adds even more strength to the guitars harmonies they are known for

[@jamesmcconnell8969]

Love that they kept Janick in the band

[@jamesmcconnell8969]

My absolute favorite Maiden song! Its so good!

[@nanns77]

This song is from 1984 and many kids singing the lyrics. This is amazing.

Steve Harris should be Knighted. The song's he has written for Maiden are incredible.

[@kenbongaards2102]

Not only Steve but the whole band!

[@Raysboss302]

Life is fun kids. Never forget 😘

[@ΘεόδωροςΖωητος]

High quality band!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcialp93]

Probably my favorite song... You definitely need to go down the Maiden rabbit hole..you won't be disappointed! New subscriber now .. 👍🏽💪🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽

[@GavP75]

Adrian and Dave were basically the original guitarists. Adrian left at the end of the 80s. Janik came in. Bruce, the vocalist, left early 90s. 1999 Bruce and Adrian returned and they decided to keep Janik. Imo a good decision as things just sound better with the 3 amigos 💪. They’re currently touring and I think the US part of the tour will be next year. Their most recent album was 2021, still going strong.

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Very strong, Senjutsu is among best albums they made in recent years

[@markferrett700]

I used to hang out and drink with these guys. We used our rock pub The Ruskin Arms and I must have seen them play at least 30 times before they "made it ". They really were the nicest,humble blokes you could meet. I even played football ⚽️ with Stevie Harris for our local amateur team (Melbourne FC),and believe me he was as good at that as he is on bass. But you know the best thing about Iron Maiden.....they have stayed true rockers, and are still the most humble,nicest guys around. Up the Irons⚒️⚒️⚒️

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Wow - so cool - Thank you!

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

Nicko (The Drummer) always plays in bare feet as he says it gives him more feel. Iron Maiden are legends! 🤘🤘🤘

Great reaction thanks greetings from Costa Rica mi suscripción 👌

He was right about the poem she was wrong

[@eddiemckenna9414]

Powerslave is such a great album

[@skyscraper7474]

why from this live!? it's on the version of the "long beach arena" (1985) that you have to react! simply the greatest in history.

[@sharonellis8776]

There are six members since Janick joined the band. This band are legends. This track is awesome & iconic ! xx

[@amygoodson-catlady]

Always a great day for some Iron Maiden!

[@kentk2215]

Love that you did this one. Live maiden shows are quite amazing. Steve Harris’ driving bass lines are a common theme in most of their music. Wonder what Coleridge would think of this. “Water water everywhere” does comes from the original work. Whodathunk early 19th century poetry would work so well with heavy metal? 🤘

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

If you look at the description I embarrassingly had to detract that remark- ugh

[@kentk2215]

@@SueSueandthewolfman Don’t fret. Nobody will think any less at all of your reaction. Can’t tell you how happy I am you enjoyed this more than another artist you recently reacted to. Just shows how cool you guys are! 😉 Going well here so far. Will update you in email soon.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

There's no crying in baseball and no fretting in forgetting literary references😂 - and yes please do update when you can!

[@roopakkhandekar4962]

I would suggest taking a look at Xanadu by Rush - it's based on Kubla Khan, another work of Coleridge. I HIGHLY recommend the Exit Stage Left version.

[@joekidd1057]

When I threw parties in my basement in 6th grade I'd have to cut off the pool table when it got past 12 this was the closing song. It was time to hit the bricks. This went on all through highschool. If it was warm we'd throw keggers at the woods .

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

That’s awesome! this story made me smile!

[@kekunkekpar9770]

Thanks for reacting to that epic MAIDEN's song. Another great song inspired by a poem from Samurel Taylor Coleridge is Xanadu by RUSH. Try the Exit Stage Left live version.🤘🎸🥁

[@MrTech226]

Sue Drummer is 70 years young, Nicko McBrain. He and Steve Harris, bassist and founder of Iron Maiden keeps the tone of IM's songs. Longest serving member besides Steve Harris is Dave Murray as guitarist. Adrian Smith came in early 80's. Iron Maiden had another singer named Paul D'anno, but he was fired in early 80's. Bruce Dickinson replaced him. Besides, singing, Bruce licensed and certified airline pilot. He flies band, crew and their equipment in a custom Boeing 747 or 757 airliner nicknamed, "Ed Force One" after Iron Maiden's official mascot, "Eddie". There was another drummer named Clive Burr prior to Nicko, who was let go in 1983 died of health issues in I think, 2013. Adrian and Bruce left the band in the 90's But they returned to Iron Maiden. As others, Iron Maiden kept Smith's replacement, Janick Gers permanently. 3 guitarists shared solos and known by the fans as "Three Amigos". They are currently on tour.

[@kenbongaards2102]

Bruce has retired from piloting!

[@kardeef33317]

This song is based of the longest poem in English of the same name written in the late 1700's.

[@rcpatriot2704]

Good reaction, hi from Norway!

Hello!

This song and 666 (The Number of The Beast), Iron Maiden incredible legends.

Up the Irons! Love them.❤

[@lkesha82]

More Iron Maiden please ☺️

[@Raysboss302]

Yep I love you two.

[@joebarrera9741]

This is a masterpiece

[@mindyeden8269]

Agreed. 3 guitars is awesome. It does round off the song a bit. I love this song. I went to see Maiden in 1985. They are still owning the stage in this tour. They are a special band and all my fellow fans rock the world. I have always loved their music and always will. Up the irons!!!

[@brianferris8668]

Seen them 3 weeks ago for the sixteenth time. Every time is better than the previous.

you my be interested to know the lead singer is a qualified airline pilot and was flying the plane at the beginning of this clip

[@srt8rocketship241]

Awesome and Legendary.

[@goodtaste8791]

BEST BAND EVER WALKED AT EARTH .

[@bagpuss121]

Im Fairly Certain This Is The Only Band With 4 Guitarists With 3 Lead And 1 Bass .

[@vincebaker2754]

This is a great tune. Rime is one of my faves by Maiden. If you like long metal songs with a story you should check out Iced Earth. Dante's Inferno (this one longer than Rime is) was written in the 14th century about the 9 circles of hell and Iced Earth does a great job telling it.

[@MsGeoffh]

6 actually 3 guitars one bass one drummer and one vocalist. period .

[@6li8storm40]

18:40 I’ve been a metal head for forty years this summer, and Maiden has been my favourite band for all of that time. You’re right about mostly guys. There have always been more female metal heads (including me) than some people think, but the genre definitely tips male. IME, the ratio is even higher at the front. Most metal guys are pretty considerate of the women, ime, but it can get pretty rough at the barricade. I started there at my first metal concert, but I got tired of the guy next to me repeatedly hitting me in the temple with his elbow as he head banged. I don’t think he even realized I was there. I’m in my 50s now, and don’t usually do General Admission (tickets cost too much). But, when I do, I stay back out if the crowd. I like room to thrash around, and don’t like the pit. Subscribed. I’m only one woman, so I won’t balance your demographics much, though.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Happy to have you 💜💜💜

[@swedeman5785]

And if you want a lot of tempo changes,do "Sign of the cross",LIVE.

[@MsGeoffh]

Voted by planet Rock as the best Heavy Metal band of all time! also the vocalist is a pilot that flies their own plane.

[@agapije]

Up the Irons from Serbia! I saw them 4x in Belgrade. Amaising shows! The art. 🇷🇸🤘💞

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Wow!

Still have Live after Death

[@kardeef33317]

A kewl theatric video is Dance of Death En Vivo. It's live also and very good.

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

In classic metal there are two bands on top of all. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. That’s it. Maiden is a little more consistent but I think they have no rivals. They’ve got two guitarists until 1999 . In 1992 Adrian Smith Left and they replaced him with Janick Gers. Then Adrian came back and they decided to keep all because live they could do some stuff which they were overdubbing in the studio.

[@MsGeoffh]

It was actually written in 1798 told you as much. Just 2 yrs out.

[@theglanconer6463]

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, one of the best poems ever written. And based on a true story. I believe ?Wordsworth told this story to Coleridge (but he twitched the story a little bit :) Probably the first story which showed compassion for our fellow creatures on Earth in a time when wholescale slaughter was the norm. Just imagine this; once there were >5 million breeding pairs of short-tailed albatross. Within a few years the Japanese reduced them 27 individuals (none were seen for ?40 years and believed extinct for many years). Or the sad tale of the Atlantic grey whale. Once the ocean was filled with them, now zero. (one of the reasons I stopped voting a few years ago; the left don't care about things I care about (like the West sliding into 1984) and the right don't care about our fellow creatures so I can't support either of them) And Maiden. Don't know how they do it. Their energy is still intoxicating. Fan since I was 10. Always a privilege to headbang my brains out everytime they deem us Dutchies worthy for a visit :) The Wolfman is right though. 'Water, water everywhere is indeed Coleridge's poem. They sing it word for word :) 'Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink'

Coulkd be wrong there dear this a vey old poem (way older than your country) so? beware just saying.....written in the 1800's you did not even exist as a nation be very careful what you claim remember Britain is wayyyyy olde rthan you.

Guitar player Janick Gers is not loved by most Maiden fan's, he is a sloppy solo player.

[@IIChristisKingII]

I would like to see the pie chart on that, as a maiden fan I have never heard or thought that. Personally I love the extra dynamic Janick adds to the band.
