Vocal Coach REACTS - Iron Maiden 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'

I was in the military couple of years ago, sometimes they made us train "static", basically means you just stand at attention for X amount of time. Everybody hated it, I liked it, since I was just playing some Iron Maiden songs in my head. That was also a good way to keep track of time, since, obviously, I knew how long given song is.

And Vocalist /Performers

[@Dragonblaster1]

I do believe he may form an interest in the genre now. I started out as a lead soprano in my school choir until my voice broke. The next time I was moved to sing on stage in public was after seeing Iron Maiden live had enthused me to start my own metal band, The Uninvited (not to be confused with the American metal band of the same name, of whom we'd never heard, and this was before the World Wide Web). The band lasted a fantastically enjoyable eleven years. And I still love metal above all other musical genres, Iron Maiden above all other metal bands, and Hallowed Be Thy Name above all other metal songs, closely followed by Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Flight of Icarus and Alexander the Great (which they've never played live AFAIK).

As a guy that's been listening to Maiden for 35 years, it's always awesome to see someone's first reaction to it. Every member of that band is a finely tuned machine perfected for around 50 years of playing together. Watching my own kids reaction to it was incredible. When it's possible, you should really get out to a live concert. Bruce Dickinson still has all the energy of a cocaine riddled 18 year old somehow. But a live Maiden show is definitely life changing. It gives you some perspective on the band to listen to the first 6 albums of their discography.. Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Live after Death.. In those albums you can physically hear the evolution of the band. From a talented pub band that started out playing punkish rock n roll in the first album with Paul Di'anno on vocals , to really they're commitment to being a metal band in the second album, then they fire Di'anno before the 3rd album and bring Bruce Dickinson on and the whole thing explodes, and the talent starts to get better and better.. It's like listening to the Lord of the Rings trilogy spread out over 6 albums.

I will never forget one evening when I was drinking with my buddies. We lived in a small town where there was not much to do, especially on a week day, so we were literally hanging out in front of a store drinking beer. When we got pretty warmed up my buddy started singing Hallowed be thy name. All three of us sang the whole thing from start to finish, a cappella, with all the guitars and everything. We can't sing for shit, but it sounded sublime to us. And it's one of my favorite memories from high school days. Damn I wish I had just one more week in my teens!

There is almost no crowd atmosphere quite like what it’s like to be a at Maiden gig when they play ‘Fear Of The Dark’. It’s spine tingling to be in a crowd of your fellow Maiden family all howling that together. It’s one of those moments that will stay for you forever. Much like seeing Nightwish play a ‘Ghost Live Score’ the first time. I’ll never forget it.

I got a bit cucked with my debut fotd performance. Some ice addict decided to punch up my area of the pit for half the song. Course bruce told him to get backstage so he could beat thd crap out of him so it was definitely memorable

[@arrevunella]

I love vocal coachs reactions at this song, because this is "THE SONG!"

[@taracole6152]

I adore Iron maiden. Bruce Dickinson is phenomenal!!! Talented vocalist, highly intelligent and many other attributes. I totally appreciate your review.

[@WexMajor82]

"Aces high". You HAVE to listen to it. Go there.

[@davidmastro5406]

Ken, your passion for music is a joyous thing. And your musical expertise is appreciated. This was a live as it gets. Great show from a great band. Happy Holidays, sir!

This is one of those songs that comes on driving along in my car normally and then at the end I look down and realize I’m going 90.

[@micko1404]

He has a voice of an angel, his range is mind blowing!!! In real life he is an awesome down to earth guy, no ego at all. His voice gives me goose bumps.

[@lindapellegrino1110]

He was then and is now a vocal monster. There is no comparison or substitution for this man or the band. They are tight, especially live!!!

[@metalhead4135]

Bruce Dickinson literally oozes with talent but is also so much more than a singer/songwriter

[@orbitsurvey9612]

NEXT SONG: Dream of Mirrors - live in Rio! Extremely underrated Maiden song. Bruce’s passion and vocals give me chills every time I watch it. Cheers

[@clayjf]

He's not called the "Human Air Raid Siren" for nothing

[@guitargodthor2]

It's not dubbed over by another version. It's 100% live!

[@marleysoyv2045]

Perfect sound....hard to believe.....amazing

[@steveopenshaw1219]

'Arry's bass is like another percussion instrument, it's just fucking awesome how hard he plays it.

[@Sinnbad21]

Hey man I’m loving the reaction. However, just one small critique. When you pause to give your feedback it’d be nice if you rewound the clip by 5 or 10 secs just to make up for any lost momentum of the song. Other than that I loved it! Keep em coming!!!

[@Dragonblaster1]

I think Bruce's finger gesture indicates he thinks this classic metal song's character's soul will be heaven-bound.

[@ryanhalien8468]

One of the best metal vocalists of all time, one of the best metal bands of all time

[@MAB1273]

Great reaction! Love the look of awe on your face. I need to stop taking Maiden for granted. Every time we see them live is beyond amazing.

[@pags409]

It’s great to see and hear someone who finally realizes what so many have known for decades. He still does very well for a well worn voice and surgery to his mouth. The showman ship has been 2nd to nooooooone since... Well this tour, which was his first. Thankfully the management team captured these shows. To me is seems like there may have been some ambient noise captured as well. Well #uptheirons as they say... ciao!

Dickinson is part of the holy trinity for a reason. His vocal range is insane.

[@thetalantonx]

Who are the other two? Total noob here.

[@bryanfran7022]

@@thetalantonx Rob Halford of Judas Priest is the second of the trinity. I don't know who is the third one.

[@MrDMF567]

Dio, maybe?
