Finally listening to Iron Maiden! If you think there is another song from them you want me to react to please include a link to the video you think is best :)** **the other julia’s aren’t a whole lot of help considering none of us are allowed to see the video/or others of the same song until we’re reacting to it so a push towards what version you’d like to see is super helpful!

This is definitely the performance you'll want to see to get the full showcase of Bruce Dickinson's vocals on this song. This is a widely accepted fact and I have no idea why people are pushing/requesting other versions of the song. 🤷‍♂ kzbin.info/www/bejne/baezY5t8e7tobac

The first time I saw Maiden was in June 1982 for the Number of The Beast tour and I was completely blown away by how good Dickinson was live. I have seen them many times since and he always brings his A-game to every show as did the band. Probably the best live band I have ever seen. He has lost a little bit of range nowadays but given his age (63), years he has been singing, and that he had throat cancer, he still sounds amazing. He is also, in my humble opinion, the best frontman in the business. He commands the stage like few can with his energy and his ability to engage the crowd and make them so much a part of the show. If you ever see them live, be prepared to be exhausted by the end of the show.

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

I saw that tour in Ipswich (England) when I was 12 and almost every tour after, as well. They always give it their all. Cheers.

[@olabergvall3154]

I saw them on the Piece of mind tour which would have been 1983 I believe. Sheffield City Hall. Couldn't agree more with your sentiment, the best show, period. I also saw Bruce as a solo act circa 1996 or '97 in a festival in Sweden, and great as he is, when Steve and the blokes are there right by him, you know you're in for a special treat. Great band, and they have proven themselves time and time again, now spanning 6 decades (technically), to be the GOAT in their genre. Which they very much took part in defining, by the way

Maidens Bruce's peak studio might had been 82-86, although his live vocals during this period was more inconsistent. After his returned with Brave New World he was unbeatable live. Rock n Rio 2001 concert is one the primmest performance of any vocalist ever. 3 hour concerts with an unbelievable consistence.

[@pkj77]

Bruce Dickinson range : 4.25 octaves According to a report published in the Daily Mirror, Dickinson has an estimated vocal range of 4.25 octaves. His voice led to the nickname "The Air Raid Siren", which Billboard states is "due to the ferocious power of his singing", although Dickinson claims it actually originated from a fan complaint.

[@anzacthedog]

It originated as a derogatory comment from a reviewer. Rod and Bruce turned it around, took it as a compliment, and ran with it from there.

Oh that story gets even better. The airline he worked for at the time loaned him that plane when they were doing their first international tour and he thought he was going to get in trouble for the paint job he put on it but the airline thought it was awesome and left it on. The only problem was that since it was still in circulation as one of their jets there were a lot of people who refused to get on a jet that already had a skeleton on the side of it. Guess they thought it was bad luck. Karl Smallwood has a video about it.

@@Shockeye00 Yes but she is a vocal coach, with respect to Bruce Dickinson his voice was at it's prime and incredible during that time, she would have been "wowed" by his live range back then.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

11:02 this show was from their Somewhere Back In Time Tour in 2008/09, he was 49 at the time of this particular show (16th March 08) , he turned 50 in August 2008. He’s actually the ‘baby’ of the band, 2 years younger than the next youngest (guitarist Dave Murray). On this tour, Hallowed was the final song of the 3 song encore after a 90-100 minute main set. The main set kicked off with Aces High, which is one of their highest tempo and energy songs (often faster when they play live). You can see his shirt is soaked in sweat, this was in Toronto, Canada in winter/spring. They took this show to India, Australia and South America (during summer in the Southern Hemisphere), can only imagine how much more physically taxing that would have been on them. An interesting time to listen to Bruce would be on any of the songs from The Book Of Souls album. When they recorded that album he had 2 prominent tumours in his throat and base of his tongue (one about the size of an apricot, the other slightly smaller), once they finished recording the album he went to a doctor and was diagnosed with throat cancer. One of the things that is most striking about Bruce is his stage presence and energy, he sings full tilt for the whole nearly 2 hour set, all the while he is running, jumping and making large body movements (he’s very theatrical on stage), and none of it effects his vocal performance!

[@TheMedicinalMan]

Iron Maiden is one of my top bands of all time. I see them as more musically important than Metallica, Slayer, or Megadeth. They blended the drive of British punk with metal so perfectly. Bruce is my top vocalist of the “Big 5 of Metal” by a country mile. I’ve seen them live 6 or 7 times over my 31 years and they’ve been class every single time.

[@jeffreyheil9542]

Punk??? No. There is nothing punk about this song. Iron Maiden took what Black Sabbath was doing in the early 70s and sped up the riffs while adding more virtuosity in the solos coming from legendary guitar players that were less well known such as Shawn Lane. Look Shawn Lane up. There’s nothing punk about this. It’s all metal. Metal and punk are complete opposites of what came out of the rock revolution started by the Godfathers of metal, Black Sabbath.

What's amazing is Bruce has had throat cancer and still belts out these songs! I've had the joy of seeing them live twice and honestly, i lost my voice both times! After growing up listening to Iron Maiden, hearing Bruce shout "Scrrrrrrrrrreeeeeam for me Donington!" and the crowds reaction... it sent shivers down me and i promised myself I'd see them live at Donington just so I could hear him say it. 18 years later i finally got to see them live, at Download Festival in Donington. He kept saying "Scream for me Download" and it just wasn't getting the same response... then, he finally said "Scream for me Donington!" and I swear to god the place nearly exploded. I screamed my head off, I lost my voice that night and I don't regret a single second of it! This is the band that got me into alternative music and they will always have a special place in my heart :) you absolutely must continue to react to more of their songs, you're in for a treat!!

Small correction. This is the 2008 show, so Bruce was almost 50 during this show. And it was before his tongue cancer.

[@kjemradio]

Hey Julia welcome to the world of Iron Maiden. This is the band that got me into bass guitar when I was a mere 13 years old (summer of 89). Your journey has only begun with this band, and I'd highly recommend diving deep into the songs not just the hits. There are some incredible gems throughout their catalog. I would start with the early works of Iron Maiden when Paul Di'Anno was the singer. Granted he was only on the first two Maiden albums, but he's a huge part of the Maiden legacy (and early success). He has a very rich bluesy voice, but he could hit incredible notes (Twilight Zone is a prime example). To me one of his best vocal performances is on Strange World from their debut album. I personally love the studio version of that song with his voice because it flows so well. The Prodigal Son (from the album Killers) is rarely played live, but is an amazing track that showcases his more flowy voice. For harder edge either could give a listen to Innocent Exile (Killers) or Phantom of the Opera. I mentioned these tracks because they are the deeper cuts plus rarely if ever played live (except Phantom which is played live often). UP THE IRONS!!! ;-) PS the studio version of Hallowed Be Thy Name (from Number of the Beast) is a lot slower and Bruce really draws out the "low." in that version.

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Bruce's definitely a storyteller. For Bruce's best vocals (quality) live, chose selections from Live at Hammersmith '82. There's sort of a limited selection vs their catalog of hits, but he's still young and his voice is at his prime. Other songs to consider include The Number of the Beast, Wasted Years, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, & Aces High. There are so many hits to list, but this is a good sample to choose from during their great run of albums.

[@Army_Rob]

[@elvishards8161]

Yeh I try to sustain it always and do manage it but then I have to go sleep for 8hrs lol

[@mandoperthstacker]

I had tickets to see them in Perth last year but sadly it couldn't happen. Happy you're checking them out!

[@daveperkins2927]

Awesome reaction! Love seeing people discover Maiden. Welcome to the fold! Maiden! 🤘🤘 Revelations, Run To The Hills, Where Eagles Dare, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner; all showcase Bruce's amazing vocals.

[@SAITO2]

Welcome to Iron maiden and Bruce the human air raid siren. pilot, nearly Olympic fencer, throat cancer survivor and so much more

[@timhutchinson8485]

Examples of some other singers like Bruce who still had powerful voices at 50+: Ronnie James Dio (RIP), Lemmy Kilmister (RIP), and Rob Halford.

I'm watching your video again, one year later because you brought me to Iron Maiden finally. I learned to love this band in a way i can't describe it not exactly enough in english. This reaction video from you, is something very precious and unique for me. The combination of this overwhelming performance, your excited reactions and honestly you, as a REALLY beautiful and attractive woman....is just wonderful to watch. Everytime i cry of happyness. You and this reaction video of a band i love to death, is the most wonderful entertainment for me. ❤❤❤from germany

I'm a massive Maiden Fan and lived through their career - it always brings me 'joy' to see young and/or never exposed to Iron Maiden and their appreciation of the talent - especially Live after performing like this for Months at a time night after night... WELCOME!!!! Up the Irons!!

[@jpaulcrosby]

The version from 1982 is the best one. Bruce’s voice has deteriorated just a tad, since his battle with throat concert. But he’s still excellent. Also, this version is…FAST!

[@luiscarlosbmonteiro8619]

I already know it will be an amazing reaction. however, when possible, react to the Unisonic song "your time has come" or the Helloween to the song named "halloween". Both songs have in common the epic and legendary voice of Michael Kiske.

[@mikezentack3723]

Everyone in Iron Maiden are completely musical gods !! And their connection with the fans are unmatched !! Ontop add Bruce what a miracle they are for many many years and STILL TOURING !! 👏 🤘👍💖

[@aragornelliott8238]

I love your channel Julia and yeah, I'd be interested to hear more on how age affects your singing. :)

[@xxkomebackkidxx]

Watch the 1983 version

[@rbeckrbeck3593]

Bear in mind at this performance Bruce was aged 50, still going strong now aged 63.

[@Xorgrim]

+ from the outro, it seems to be either the last song of their regular set or even the last encore. So he is about 90 minutes into the performance. (as evidenced by the amount of sweat on his shirt)

[@rbeckrbeck3593]

@@Xorgrim yep last song of a 16 song set, Somewhere back in time tour

[@ashvirhiralal]

Not talking over the solo, very nice Julia :D That's an unwritten law, I am impressed! This is one of my favourite Iron Maiden songs, if not my favourite narrowly beating The Trooper

Your thorough, incisive analysis is only matched, naay, surpassed by your gorgeous accent. Subscribed.

[@Samhain606]

That's awesome but it's the wrong one. The older one is better 😉

[@jimipane2013]

This is why i love heavy metal. I'm so glad you finally reacted to this. Since you are into heavy metal now, I would love to introduce you to another legendary heavy metal singer, Michael Kiske (Helloween/Unisonic). You're going to be amazed with these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3TUkn-ng955eqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHK5lnpqgLhjgK8 P/s: Your friends #Rebeccavocalathlete, #BethRoars and #thecharismaticvoice already reacted to a few of their recent live performances

My dad and I used to watch this DVD all the time, it definitely takes me back.

Just LOVE the end,they do fire works & Bruce give the fans a BIG smile :-) :-)

Well put it this way..Dave Murray one of the founding members,just turned 66 years old yesterday! Still rocking, hell's yes!!! Up the Iron's,Happy New Year,from the Yankee Rebel!!!

[@fantasyarch]

From the way you are smiling in the beginning I can tell you are genuinely enjoying the song and Dickinson's performance, which makes watching these reactions fun!

[@bnorci1]

I was on May 24 at their concert in Belgrade. It was a fantastic experience again, Bruce's voice was better than ever. I also have a ticket for the concert in Austria and can’t wait. I wish everyone who loves them to experience this one day.

[@gonzalomartinezmetalhead]

Hi Julia, great reaction to Maiden and it is nice to see you have entered the realms of the greatest heavy metal band in the world. They started in 1975 and they are still going strong. Bruce Dickinson is one of the three vocalists the band had so far, with him been the longest in the band. He was about 51 here and I think still pretty good at it. If you here him at an earlier age you will probably notice some differences. He is considered one of the best front men and singers in metal. Up the irons!!!

[@TotoODiLeE]

The way like you described the felling of listening iron maiden couldn't be more beautiful! It's exactly just like that. I remember me crying like a baby being in an iron maiden gig listening this song.

[@nicollroberts]

Had the privilege of seeing Iron Maiden in 2018, a few days after Bruce's 60th birthday. His voice was really powerful and was amazing to listen to. The whole band were incredible, that night. My son was 17 and had listened to a few Maiden tracks, but after seeing them live for the first time he was hooked. I hope we get the opportunity to see them again some day.

[@Marcoscma]

the sweet way you express yourself is absolutely enchanting

[@vaughnnewman8903]

One of the Grandfathers of Metal that paved the way to so many genres. Classic Maiden song- keep in mind that Bruce has to be pushing 60 in this live performance. Check out the studio version of this song and it will blow you away. One of the best (and iconic) voices in Rock/Metal history.

[@eltiburon1983]

Cant believe that recording is already 14 old... 2008 in toronto.. i would love to get more information about aging voices from you Julia! Keep it up!

[@paulfny]

Every time I see a live performance of this and Bruce gets the crowd going at that bit after the solos, it gives me goosebumps. Bit gutted they're not playing Hallowed on this tour. But still can't wait to see them in Glasgow in a few weeks.

[@petecatalano3843]

I randomly found this channel, but it was surprising to not see any chris cornell reaction vids. Probably the most versatile and naturally gifted rock singers of any generation. I love vocal coach reactions, and I guarantee if you never have seen him in his prime your mind will be blown! I'll subscribe in anticipation 😁✌🎤🎼🎵

[@thorgodofthunder6455]

So happy you finally did some Iron Maiden! There’s a lot I think you’ll enjoy from them. Bruce is a fantastic singer and was(is) way ahead of his time.
