Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man REACTION!! | FIRST TIME LISTENING TO IRON MAIDEN!!

[@Brendo2386]

Underrated song and album

[@nightgoblin29]

The album that brought Bruce and Andrian back

[@jockmason5922]

Try Hallowed be thy name live Hammersmith 1982 👍

[@BonJovi022110]

Hell yeah theyre still a thing. Their latest album is one of the best theyve ever put out. Currently in the middle of a world tour. 50th anniversary tour starts next year

[@chrisheim73]

Gotta do live versions of hallowed be thy name and fear of the dark either in chili or Rio

It’s great to see The Wicker Man get some love, it’s not a “go to” for reactors, but this was the first single from 2000’s Brave New World, which saw the return to the band of singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith (who plays the solo in this). The lineup since this hasn’t changed to this day, making it the longest they have gone without a lineup change by a distance. Can’t believe this song (and the album) turn 25 next year! The band turns 50 next year… founding member (and bassist and chief songwriter) Steve Harris received the official copyright on 25th December 1975. What a Xmas present, for him and for the world. As for the song/album that they “blew up” with… it’s not just one album! It’s a run of albums. Their debut album (1980’s Iron Maiden) was well received and charted in the top 10 in the UK, the follow-up (81’s Killers) was less well received but is still a favourite among the fanbase, but it’s the run of albums from 82’s The Number Of The Beast through to 88’s Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son where they went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! TNOTB went to the top of the UK charts, as did Seventh Son, the 3 albums in between (Piece Of Mind, Powerslave and Somewhere In Time) all hit the top 10, and they had a good run in the singles charts too with every song charting in the top 20. But, it’s their live shows where they make the biggest name for themselves. Don’t take my word for it, Brian May of Queen said this of the first Rock In Rio festival in 1985 - “we had to play the best show of our careers, or they would’ve upstaged us”. Consider the year that Queen had in 1985, to say that about another band is a huge compliment.

Picking a favourite Iron Maiden song is like choosing a favourite child, just not possible! The songs they are probably best known for though are The Trooper, Run For The Hills, Aces High, Wasted Years, etc. Their live performances are legendary, but don’t forget the official music videos too. Some of them (such as Aces High) add a lot more context to the song. Enjoy!

Iron Maiden's first album came out in 1980. "Wicker Man" is the opening song on 2000's "Brave New World". Singer Bruce Dickinson left in 1991 and "Brave New World" was the first studio album after his return.

Up the Irons

[@osamaqtaitat]

Man, they are on another level no BS, and strangely you don’t know or hear their songs 😂, but lucky you 😛 Iron Maiden essentially is very melodic, beautiful, emotional and sentimental, powerful, daring, vigorous, wisely heavy, dramatic, epic, and dynamic all together mostly +\-, and that’s very special to have it all, they are very WELL-BALANCED, they aren’t just one dimensional band, or just heavy and angry and that’s it!!! Their essence and nature is in BALANCE!

[@deansmith8404]

Definitely “still a thing.” Seeing them again next month, and they are better than ever. UP THE IRONS!

[@MattMaidenFan]

Try The Trooper live Rock in Rio.

[@bloodbornehunter9974]

Nooooo. Trooper live fron en Vivo is way better.

[@maxfernandez1808]

Imposible que no te guste una locura MAIDEN que placer es escuchar esta joya 🤘🙌🇦🇷

[@deportedsouls3165]

I recommend you always do the live-versions from the Flight-666-dvd!😊

[@nem447]

Not their best work but still a rocker! They don't have many bad songs.

[@mikeboardman6699]

If you are going to react to Maiden, then do the live versions. You won't be disappointed.

[@silentwrath777]

there is a different draft version with more lyrics in the chorus if you care

[@senjutsu-walrus2847]

U.S radio version

[@mikenetsky9694]

Hey man, I followed your channel for a long time, Linkin park has two new songs. You should probably check out. Their second single out right now will probably make you happy.

[@indioespinoza1531]

Can't compare Iron Maiden to other covers for other metal band UP the Irons brothers and sisters

[@talismanmia2537]

An ok Maiden song but there are at least 60-70 that are better. Started in the 80s and ascended quickly in the 80s but far bigger today than back then, globally. And quite a bit of their catalog since 2000 is as good or better than 80s material, as damn good as that was.

[@kai_henrik]

First time listening to Iron Maiden? whaaaaaat?!!!! This is a great song BUT I don't think it's a good introduction to the band. This is more like a simple radio friendly song which doesn't represent the overall epic sound and lyricism of Iron Maiden. If you want the true sound while at the same time hit songs then listen to: FEAR OF THE DARK NUMBER OF THE BEAST HALLOWED BE THY NAME those would have been better choices. Like I said, still a good song!

[@GaryWarren-gn8zg]

Evidently you don't know the half of it 😂

[@BagasRamd]

Linkin park please

[@MangoPlaysGame]

Please listen to the new Linkin Park songs, Heavy is the Crown if you had to choose 1!

[@vincegedeon6583]

Not with a chick lead singer 😂

[@MangoPlaysGame]

@@vincegedeon6583 She's pretty good...

[@vincegedeon6583]

Iron Maiden is great but lot their stuff sounds the same

[@osamaqtaitat]

What do you mean by “the same” lol?? I think you are just saying random, clueless shit; you don’t know what you are talking about!! Sorry!!

[@goreelaa]

Try GnR Paradise City live Ritz 1988

[@josephblake1441]

You need to surrender your long hair.

[@Anthony-y2v6c]

This song is awesome cool reaction dude you should check out Slipknot Spit it out or surfacing live in London 2002 one of the best ever kick ass channel 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@rogeriopenna9014]

if this was really your first Iron Maiden song (a long haired dude... WHAT?), weird choice. Not a classic, not even one of the 5 best songs of it's own album.

[@liammerrick6399]

Mad that this song is better than most bands ever produce but it's middle of the road stuff for maiden
