Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast (LIVE) | My REACTION 🔥🔥

[@magnusblomquist1787]

You need to hear The rime of the ancient mariner and Alexander the great!

[@alansevern290]

The drummer was the awesome Clive Burr who sadly passed away in March 2013 from Multiple Sclerosis, Bruce Dickinson said that Clive was one of the best drummers he worked with because he had such a super feel for the drums. RIP Clive, missed but never forgotten! Up The Irons 🤘

[@justpassingthrough3657]

I learned more history from Maiden than in high school

[@johnrogan9729]

Yeah dude, these guys are awesome with the history lessons hahaha

[@lez0n]

I got extra credit in my high school English class for brining in Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner when we read it. Also Kubla Kan by Rush when we read that too.

[@mikemayer3346]

Best Bass Player/writer and leader of all time, coming from a fellow bass player his speed and melodic writings are legendary and infectious!

React to Iron Maiden, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner live Flight 666.

[@michaelfarmer6877]

The song "number of the beast" is a song that was written by Steve Harris (the bass player) about a dream. The line that the dream was mesmerizing is where he says "666 the number of the beast, 666 the one for you and me" so he mesmerized by the dream and it spoke to him saying that. Most of their songs are about dreams or historical facts. One of my favorite bands ever! Check out some newer live songs from their last tour they had great shows. Bruce is singing as good as ever and the band is still killing it.

[@cferguson37]

and, yes, the guitarist often play the same riff simultaneously, though, typically of Maiden, they will be an octave apart, giving the song a signature depth of sound

[@allisterfiend_2112]

At this particular time in the bands history, it was two guitarist, they added a third guitarist years later.

[@Maltiris]

Bruce Dickenson the human air raid sieren. This is meant as a compliment.

[@johnrogan9729]

I’m so glad you used this concert to make a reaction to this song from. This concert has excellent sound especially since it’s from 1982. The whole show is great.

[@chaz9801]

Steve Harris is an epic and underrated bass player.

[@stevenmckee6134]

I wouldn't say he's underrated. He's widely regarded as the best metal bass player on the planet

[@randycomerford2038]

You're right he is epic and i dont think he's ever been underrated, cause everybody knows it.

[@rohantiwari7801]

Underrated? He is the best bass player ever.

[@jonlate4581]

I'm a guitar player and I love the fact that you pointed out about the second guitar coming in at a certain point. Good on you, sir.👍

[@doxy1192]

The guy that came up at the beginning which you called "The Lead" was the bass not the lead guitar. There isn't really a conventional lead guitarist in Iron Maiden (unlike bands like Metallica), both guitarists play rhythm and lead sections, and there is obviously Steve Harris, their bassist.

[@Maltiris]

Am I mistaken later on they had 3 guitarist, and a bass.

[@damot1051]

@@Maltiris They have 3 guitarists now. Originally it was Dave and Adrian. Adrian left in the early 90's and was replaced by Janick. When Adrian returned, Janick stayed.

[@damot1051]

@Jacques Malan I think Janick stayed because all the guys like him

[@americanmutt9089]

The bass and drums on this song are awesome!!!

[@jean-yveskaczmarek7458]

You're probably the most "entertaining and with feelings" guy on YT doing reactions. Respect to that. You feel the drums, enjoy quality, quite rare nowadays on that platform

[@Alberto_1965_BR]

Best line up Best tour from the best album And the best metal drummer ever. One of the best of all time! Clive "monster" Burr (rip) Up the Irons 🤘

[@matheuscardoso426]

Nice reaction! I recommend Iron Maiden - The Clansman from rock in rio 2001. In my opinion it's one of their best live performances ever

[@rickymitchell3162]

Yup I second that

[@newportreds6710]

I strongly recommend listening to “stargazer” by Rainbow. It’s one of the most legendary rock songs with singing, structure, deep lyrics and sound. It’s a beautiful piece of art

[@jeffrichards1537]

Probably no band better live than iron maiden. Legends

[@achkobachkamalko]

Wasted Years is another masterpiece from Iron Maiden. Very deep and meaningful song. You should check it out!

[@jimwells768]

yeah, that was back then, they now have 3 guitar players in the band they have for a long time

[@allbies]

Iron Maiden are legendary

[@abdelouahabdebaba337]

Congratulations my friend you just listened to The Hymn of Heavy Metal 🤘🎸😈

[@JBjopa8]

🤘😎

[@JohnWilliams-bt9er]

Good reaction man. Maiden has always been on my playlist. Now I think it might be time for Lynyrd Skynyrd Free Bird live in Oakland California.

[@andrewlaw]

The drummer here (Clive Burr) sadly passed away. This song initially proved an outcry in the US where they were branded devil worshippers and religious folks burned their albums in protest. Their songs are mostly historical or based on books but they are most definitely not devil worshippers, in fact the current drummer Nicko McBrain has a drum set with all the different incarnations of the bands mascot Eddie on but one main drum has a crucifix on as he's a devout Christian.

[@Ando2k10]

When I saw them in concert last year, Bruce introduced this song by saying that, in America, he had to specify that this song title begins with a C...

[@seandobson6221]

Bruce Dickinson is actually a classically trained opera singer.

[@tommattie1240]

You mention the riff in the beginning. It is normal for all bands to have a signature sound. Like AC/DC, you know you will some heavy blues in their music. When Maiden hits the stage, the guitars are going to sound like a herd of galloping horses! Another funny thing you mentioned was the scream. In Bruce's book, he talked about that. He kept getting stopped mid verse while trying to record this song. The producer kept saying, "This is the FIRST time the Maiden fans are going to hear you. It has to be perfect"! He ended up getting really mad. They screamed at each other, threw furniture, etc. When he finally got it laid down, the producer said, "You think you can come up with a yell to finish that verse"? He was like, "Oh yeah. I got something"........... The rest is Metal history! :)

[@jimmyavsfan24]

3 guitarists in This the greatest Metal band ever

[@fantasticshoes736]

Rime of ancient mariner live flight 666

[@jam3sbarry198]

One of my favorites from Iron Maiden !! ❤❤❤

[@markw1128]

Like a fine wine, these guys only get better with age!!!

[@conradkostelecky7935]

Some bass players use a guitar pick when playing which can give a brighter sound. Mr. Harris uses 3 fingers to play and it gives a fuller sound that is very under rated. I love it and he does not get near enough credit for his playing style. His playing is almost like a 3rd lead guitar player.

[@hereticzealot]

The album version is the absolute best. Mad love from Oklahoma!❤

[@larrywalling2844]

You are jammin👍 Edgar Winter Frankenstein 1973😎

[@jonlate4581]

The song's inspiration lies in the poem Tam 'O Shanter and the movie The Omen 2.

[@chrissarina981]

Nice reaction I agree with some of the other commenters below please react to Iron Maiden Rime of the Ancient Mariner live from flight 666.

[@noifcustoms]

This era was 2 guitars and a bass. Later they brought in the 3rd guitar. Both guitars ans bass in the intro though. Up the Irons for LFR!

[@haroldhadradi8763]

2 years older than me then. Haha. The guy on the drums, was Clive Burr. After the number of the beast album, Clive had left the band. And Nick Mcbrain was the drummer on the following album piece of mind in 1983.

[@mikewood6071]

Both guitarists trade lead, both are awesome

[@robertphelps1574]

With this lockdown I’m listening to a lot of music including iron maiden who I saw when they were the support band for Judas Priest then at the marquee club and at the rainbow theatre

[@EricCPOP]

They have three guitarists now and all of them play a mix of lead and rhythm. Steve Harris is the bands primary songwriter and bassist.

[@gregmckenna2614]

Do you not know what a bass guitar looks like? Love ya man

[@miketaylor6694]

"REVELATIONS" YOU WON'T BE SORRY. 🤘

[@steinovemjeldheim5132]

Haha,Floke! I'm in! 😁 I don't think you will regret checking out on Vikings, because it's not easy to describe the Floke-character in words... Being compared to him is definitely a compliment! 👍

[@LFRFAMILY]

Floke is definitely a character I'm trying to figure out. I really like the show though. THANK YOU for being Dope🔥🔥🔥

[@NZLatic]

The guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are one of the greatest guitar ‘tag teams’ in metal along with KK Downing and Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest. They do have ‘battles’ on their guitars but they aren’t impromptu, they’re very close to the album. The difference with Iron Maiden is that Steve Harris jumps in with his bass and plays lead as well which is unusual for metal.

[@rifki9055]

Flight 666! This is a old version! Every thing from Flight 666 is the Beast 🔥🔥🔥

[@JungleScene]

agreed, most of the best live footage of maiden was on flight 666.

[@TheBlackQueen]

RIFKI I actually like this concert better.

[@peterfromgermany2431]

This Song blows your Brain away!!!!!!!

[@ratowey]

This is the classic Number of the beast line up, Drummer Clive Burr was replaced after this with current drummer Nikko McBrain. At 3:19 on your video it shows band leader and Bass player/ lyric writer Steve Harris, its easier to tell the bass from other guitars because normally it has just four strings ( there are exceptions )and it`s quite a bit bigger. There were two Guitarists at this time, at 6:09 Dave Murray starts his solo, at 6:37 Adrian Smith does his thing in a classic dual although the don't show him playing ( he`s the one with a red guitar-Ibanez Destroyer for the guitar players amongst you )

[@philmus1]

At this time Maiden had two guitarists (Dave Murray and Adrian Smith). They often doubled parts. Bassist Steve Harris also often plays in the guitar range. The band now has three lead guitarists with the addition of Yannick Gers. This means lead and rhythm parts can be doubled to give a beefier sound. Having three lead guitarists and a bass player playing the same octaves as them is a nightmare for live sound engineers!

[@jimwells768]

Rime of the ancient mariner🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻.. Live

[@SirSSau]

Rime of the ancient Mariner (long beach 85) first time played live - best metal song of all time.

[@JBjopa8]

Your have to check the Vikings out Floki is awesome character and yes I can see why someone would say that 😎

[@jdssurf]

Epic band, best metal concerts ever. Great guys, not satanic.

[@robertphelps1574]

With this lockdown in the U.K. start listen i

[@ericschulte5340]

You need to check out Megadeth She Wolf, Live rude awaking.

[@Almcingrid3663]

The blue is a bass played by Steve Harris. My son has that same bass.

[@TheBlackQueen]

You should have done the studio version (preferably the music video). 1000x greater and it features Bruce Dickenson's iconic scream at it's best recording.

[@charleslatora5750]

Darn good reaction. Subscribed. Gonna look for your other Iron Maidens reaction. Again. Nice. Very nice, bro.

[@alessandrochiesa8823]

dude i fucking love ur channel! thanks for the company! in this quaranteen mutch love from Italy my G! sorry if i fucked up some words! i can speack english...but as long as writing...damn aahahah

[@lez0n]

Never would have made the connection but you have the build/frame of the character Floki but since you pointed it out I can see it

[@MrRudeboy212]

The guitar with 4 strings is the bass

[@adnanhasanbegovic6323]

Try also "Run to the hills". Its very strong and direct song. Heavy very.

[@ChuckJansenII]

Great reaction. Solos were as they were played on the album. Iron Maiden has so much going on in their music that they don't do improvisation much. They need to stay well timed. Deep Purple did do a lot of improvisation and there were duels between guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and Keyboardist Jon Lord during their live performances. Suggest the 1980 or 81 live version of Phantom of the Opera from their debut album. The 1980 version is the original lineup from lineup on a smaller stage. The 1981 version brought in Adrian Smith on guitar replacing Dennis Stratton. Paul Di'Anno features on both performances. Bruce Dickinson replaced Di'Anno and there are several versions with Bruce singing Phantom of the Opera. Not to be confused with Andrew Lloyd Weber version. For this competely different version I would recommend Nightwish. I prefer the version with Tarja over the version with Floor.

[@cferguson37]

now THAT was the appropriate facial expression to hearing The Human Air-Raid Siren let loose....!! Up the Irons!

They’re really a literary band.

[@Frostrazor]

Do you look like Floki? First, my fav TV show of all time. And one of my fav characters from the show. I hadn't thought about it since you mentioned it - but it's the beard, yes. And both very thin faces with pronounced cheekbones - so I can see the resemblance. Great song and reaction as always friend.

[@tristramcoffin926]

That drummer you gave accolades to is Clive Burr. Rest in Peace.

[@tgranny3547]

Run to the Hills is my favorite

[@rohantiwari7801]

Iron Maiden is always better live but this particular song is the best on studio version.

people say they're satanic because of this song. they base a lot of their songs on movies, this is based on a dream steve harris had after watching omen 2...

The vocalist is also a British Airways pilot, or was.

[@edwardtomlinson]

FLOKI!!!!!! Well, Floki, you need to check out RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINIER... you'll love it

[@mikemclaughlin3306]

Literally THE song that put them on the map...... tge blue guitar is a bass.... it has only 4 strings, lol....there are a lot of songs where they share the solo...... Judas priest does it too
