Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (REACTION) First Time Hearing it

[@catboxvideo]

Iron Maiden opened my eyes to literature as i saw the World Slavery Tour at ten years old and then stated buying albums and learning of their inspirations. I dug into the history that they brought up, started reading STC, Poe and the like at ten / eleven years old. some was difficult to get into, but i would get books of collected works and look for easier ones to read and go back after i started getting the feel and hang of the language... it was amazing. They created a life long learner in me and in so doing my daughter...

[@UKJesterVids]

Maiden have probably taught as much History & Literature as most schools :)

Greetings and Love from Germany again 💚...thanks for this awesome and for me the ultimative best reaction to ROTAM i've ever saw. And i watched at least thousands. In this short time i've learned to know you a bit. To hang arround with you must be a funny time. Having a talk with you would be intressting, for sure. As i saw your thumbnail got me so hyped, i'm a MaidenManiac since 1985. The first time i saw the live performence of ROTAM was in 1988, to see full concerts was a rare thing back in the days. Maiden had releast their concert from the Long Beach Arena, California 1986 on VHS Video Tape. I never saw something like that before...and after. The second i got excited was the fact that i knew if somebody out there who would understand this song and can truly feel this live performence in the way i once did, it could be only you. And i was right. For me that's point of reaction videos. Finding the most similar (to mine) first reaction to my favorite songs. It's always like a time travel with 'Deja Vu ' feelings for me. Quite a nostalgic re-living of my first times, you know..😊 But dude, your face, your reaction when Bruce sang that line 'Water, Water, everywhere..' was priceless😅. I wasn't suprised that you came up with this line first. You have a great imagination. I dare to hope that you go on with Maiden for few miles. Some of my favorite story telling songs are the live versions of "When The Wild Wind Blows", "The Talisman", "Dance Of Death", "AlexanderThe Great"(Audio version), "Empire Of The Clouds", "Hell On Earth" (lyric video)...so, thanks again, buddy. I wish you a peaceful sunday 🌈 UP THE IRONS ✌

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much for the kind words! This is a masterpiece and a magnificent performance. Must be quite the experience to see them live. You really summed it up what reactions can be for someone. Even creating them feels like talking with friends. I am honored you chose to spend some time with me. Definitely will explore more of their music. Enjoy your Sunday, my friend.

You know with all the shit thats going on in our beautyful world and with only negative and disgusting things to watch, on TV, KZbin...it's getting depressing. Thats bad for mental health.

All time favorite band ever since I first heard Somewhere in Time in 1986 at the age of 14. Iron Maiden introduced me to this poem as well. Most people you see wearing Maiden shirts are usually fans. And there are three generations of us fans. Technical note: Drummer Nicko Mcbrain was ringing an actual antique ship's bell. Up the Irons! 💀 🎸 🇬🇧

Thanks! I have always thought of narrating my own books, but in Belgium audiobooks are not that huge yet and the cost of producing and the time invested might not be worthwile as of yet. At least not for a small author like me 😅

Somewhere around 2012, Maiden eclipsed Pink Floyd as the top seller of merchandise. Someone else can check that for accuracy, but I think it's correct. Not bad for a band that in 40+ years has never gotten any radio airplay or other forms of commercial promotion.

[@SaeedReacts.]

That is quite the achievement 😅. Awesome!

[@tino8088]

Dance of Death from Death On The Road is a must see. Many will say En Vivo and many have reacted to that one already but try the DOTR version instead. The theatrics and crowd is so much better and very similar to what’s happening here on Rime.

[@Lemmingadventures]

Iron maiden is one of the closest bands to rush. Except metal. They write thought provoking songs and top tier musicianship.

[@colinhackett390]

That’s why they’re my 2 fave bands of all time. Steve’s lyrics come close to the God-like Neil. Musically both bands so talented so perfect so unequalled.

Its me again. I am not sure if you did this song video yet but incase you haven't i will leave the link below..So i have one more song video for you to watch from Iron Maiden it is the Live 1982 version of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', it is considered to be the best rock video ever made, Bruce sings his butt off in this video. Pay attention to the long note in the beggining of the song, and the 2 long notes at end of song, they are 'EPIC'...The song is about a man being sent to the gallows to be hanged and he is looking back on his life. Most of Iron Maiden's songs are about an important event that has happened in history. So watch this video for sure, it is amazing !!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Hey! I have only done the studio version, but definitely want to hear this live version. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrianJohnson-nj9gi]

Ok here's the thing, you watched the wrong video, you should have watched the video from 1985...I will leave the video link below for you. You should also listen to the actual poem written by 'Samuel Taylor Colleridge' back in the 1700's, read by David Barnes, just so you can understand the song a little better, it is a bad-ass poem and my favorite. So if you are going to watch live videos of Iron Maiden always watch the older videos as they are so much better, because that is back when singer Bruce Dickinson's voice was at it's best. Many many people say that his voice is considered to be operatic, Bruce can hold a note longer than any other rock singer, his vibratos are amazing, not to mention his vocal range. In my opinion i think every other rock singer secretly wishes that they could sing like Bruce could back in his prime, whether they like him or not. We'll ok I hope you enjoy them...Thanks. ~Brian~ White Bear Lake, Minnesota 🤘🤘 Video Link Below: ============== kzbin.info/www/bejne/q53Jn31mephnnLc&si=ku44AwDyai5r9vNP Poem Link Below: ============== kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHa2goN5iZhqnZI&si=LJcO0MaXbfcRsW6g

You watched the wrong song video...Listen people when watching or listening to Iron Maiden songs or videos always watch & listen to the older 1980's Iron Maiden stuff when Bruce Dickinson's voice was in it's prime. I will leave you a link below to a different video version of the same song 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' from 1985 when back when Bruce's voice sounded more opera like then it was metal. I think in my opinion every other rock singer secretly wishes that they could sing like Bruce could in his prime...Just Say'in !!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q53Jn31mephnnLc&si=ku44AwDyai5r9vNP
