Obviously you skip the song from this album that got the most suggestion two times...🤔 Because of such a relationship, we will skip your reactions....

[@hurm1t974]

Not skipping any songs just doing them in my own order. Because of such a comment, I don't want you around here anymore.... Hope you have a great day!! ✌

"This song is about the discovery of one of the members of the Lost Franklin Expedition that attempted to navigate the Canadian northwest passage in the late 1840's. The only bodies recovered to this day are the three men that died in the first winter (1845) while camped on Beechey Island. The three men's names are John Torrington, John Hartnell, and William Braine. They are said to have died of pneumonia and lead poisoning. It is said that Adrian Smith was inspired to write this song after speaking to a man who had recently excavated bodies mummified in the arctic. The bodies of the three men were exhumed between the years of 1984-1986, which coincides with when the song would have been written."

[@merciatreasurehunting6244]

I always think of this album as space themed for some reason and this song makes me think of a lost astronaut on a strange new planet

[@mikeharry1799]

​@@merciatreasurehunting6244 "Stranger in a Strange Land is a 1961 science fiction novel by American author Robert A. Heinlein. It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians, and explores his interaction with and eventual transformation of Terran culture. " AFAIK the book coined the term "to grok", i.e. "to really be apt at something", and is a classic of science fiction literature.

[@marcgrote7540]

​@mike harry that is true, but I read an interview with Adrian back around 1986 or 1987 when the album came out & he said specifically that he based the song on the Franklin Expedition after hearing about it.

[@mikeharry1799]

@@marcgrote7540 yeah, the lyrics make it obvious that it's not about the book, i was just replying to @merciatreasurehunting6244 because it's kind of a coincidence

[@Uuusssaaas]

This song deserves more love from Maiden fans. It is great.

[@joelabel7843]

One of my favourite solos of all time. And yes!!!!! The bass is disgusting. That whole breakdown in the middle is so melodic

[@goodtaste8791]

"the number of the beast " it was more successful and famous to America , but musically " Seventh son of a Seventh son" , "powerlsave" and "somewhere in time" its the real deal and another level! ( And when u finish more Maiden songs and u have experience and your ears are familiar with Maiden, u can react two first albums with Paul di Anno on vocals !!!)

[@andyreid6826]

"Piece of mind" is the album between number of the beast and powerslave. It's my favorite maiden album. That had an incredible run in the 80's.

[@joelabel7843]

Love peice of mind too. Revelations is just too good. He needs to check the early stuff with paulo singing

[@Rowlph8888]

Somewhere in time, is the best heavy metal of all time.Takes you on a journey from start to finish.Also, the most technically demanding instrumentally.check out any cover of any on tthialAlbum, aand even professional artistts struggle with the guitar work and drums . Adrian Smith was at some genius level in this period

[@tiagomaia1365]

One of the best song ever from one of the best album ever.

[@SASTORM]

Guitar solo here is legendary

[@anthonyh1067]

1000%! 🤘🤘

[@AcaciaAvenue]

Couple of suggestions: To tame a land (since you love their bassist so much that one will blow you away) The Writing on the Wall (this is from their last album, I HIGHLY suggest the official animated video)

[@davidprag969]

ADRIAN SMITH is the name! For all your questions about the guitars that is the name on this one.

[@gameofyou1]

Iron Maiden knocked it out of the park with this album.

CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED

[@stevehanson2398]

Thanks for another great reaction, geezer👍🏻 Another great Iron Maiden history lesson. This one's about artic explorers. Adrian Smith is, in my opinion, the greatest folk/blues guitarist to hail from England. I'm a fellow Londoner, born just up the road from where they were formed and I've been a Maiden fan since 1980, when I was 10. I may be a little biased but they are the greatest band in the world with the best fans on the planet. Up the Irons!!!

[@lucypoopies]

9:51... "They don't make music like this anymore dude. Rock 'n Roll is NOTHING like what it used to be." Couldn't have said it better, Hurm.

[@garse70]

Iron Maiden aren’t about the solo’s, even though they are great, it’s about the riffs and the Gallup.

[@antoniocunha8772]

great line man , tnks from brazil

[@renzo4296]

Great reaction man, I absolutely love this entire album and this song is so phenomenal, someone already commented about what this song is based on and it's true, the people died on their expedition and were frozen where they fell, someone described it more accurately.

[@johnlangdon7576]

Probably the best solo ever by Mr Smith, so much emotion

[@matthewmedley8514]

Nicos drumming…, priceless! Just keeps this amazing

[@1234567890196]

Glad 🙂 you enjoyed the song there is a music video of this song filmed in Sheffield City Hall which is my City in the UK 🇬🇧 but unfortunately I wasn’t there because I was only 10 at the time back in 1986

[@danw4490]

This is one of the songs that turned me on to metal and Iron Maiden. I had heard Judas Priest, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and others but nothing spoke to me. Then I encountered this song and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, the album. This was in 1990 when I was 13 and had a friend who was trying to explain why metal was the only "good" music. I've been a Maiden fan ever since and have come to appreciate the other bands I mentioned as well, for the most part. Maiden is my #1. Up the Irons!

[@rabarebra]

Adrian Smith is a genius!

Yep a favorite of mine too, thumping intro and never lets up!🤘🏼

[@AndyTheRoo]

I think I read somewhere that the art took the artist, Derek Riggs, about 3 months to complete

[@rabarebra]

I think Riggs has said he spent 1 month on that cover.

[@kurtemeigh]

From the same album, check out the loneliness of the Long distance Runner.

[@thedepot7416]

derick riggs was the artist

[@brucedickinson12]

adrian smith is super talented

[@sand-motox32]

At 10:39 you said I love this album. As I do also. Seen them on tour promoting this album in the old New Haven Coliseum, CT January 1987.

[@Rowlph8888]

Pity they don't do that now.Amazing how a band doesn't recognise its finest work.I think it must be something to do with Bruce not being happy with this period of maiden, having been forced to over tour and then suffering from exhaustion and writers block.He didn't contribute anything to the writing of this album, it is entirely composed by Adrian Smith and Steve Harris, independently of each other, Except dejà vu, which was also written by David Murray.

[@ColibriAgradecido]

Probably one of the best solos of the whole history...

[@gildelorme6018]

My favorite Run to the Hills song video is from the 2019 Legacy of the Beast compilation. Great way of showing off the boys in a concert with some great fan interaction. If that video doesn't raise your blood pressure, your not alive!! Enjoy!!

[@goodtaste8791]

Steve Harris ( bassist) and "founder" of Maiden is from another planet dude ! He make at least thousands of People to grab a base and start play music!

[@Drew_Guitarist]

This is the one!

[@badmotorbreath5206]

That Led Zep song you were referring to is The Immigrant Song. Thanks again for another great reaction. Not sure if you’ve covered Sea of Madness but it’s one of the best from SIT.

[@hurm1t974]

Thank you!!!

[@thedepot7416]

Checkout Seventh son off this album its one of my second favorite songs off this album. You might like it. its crazy fire the 2014 concert version pertty crazy.💥🔥

[@talismanmia2537]

Remember, there was no CD format for albums when this came out in 1986. It was just vinyl, and you can only put so much music on vinyl before the sound quality drops off. This album is 51+ minutes, which was a LONG album back then, stretching the limits sonically. Powerslave (1984) was the same length. Contrast with lame ass efforts from certain big bands during that period (Van Halen Diver Down - 31 min., Van Halen 1984 - 33 min.), and you see Maiden provided way more bang for the buck (with no filler tracks or cover songs to take up space on the album).

[@hurm1t974]

True!

[@thesaxon1377]

You were thinking of the immigration song by led zeppelin.

[@martinsvideos7556]

Nice! I like every Metal reaction of you, most suggested or not. No Problem, Maiden always was, and ever will be driven by Steves Bass Lines. Thats the signature. Have a Look to the Somwhere in Time Cover, can u find acacia avenue? This is my first suggestion from the Album The Number Of The Beast. And since your a Millenial 😉 and u maybe dont know Wyclef Jean feat. Mary J Blige - 911 = try a reaction to it. Yes, its Hiphop, but its really good music. Greatings from Germany. \m/

[@nickschiavulli693]

Up The Irons from #Metalchoppingblock 🤘 check us out we feature new metal bands from all over cheers 🍻

[@dragonseye00]

To me "The Number of the Beast" is a bit overrated. Yes, this albun made them big, yes there are many great anthems in it (though my favorites are "Children if the Damned" and "the prisoner"... But for me, powerslave, somewhere in time and seventh son are their most perfect albums in their composition and feel. I love pretty much every kein maiden and Bruce Dickinson album anyway, so... Whatever you guys think... I will not debate it either 😁 By the way, blaze bailey's solo stuff is actually quite good, you might enjoy that much more than the maiden albums with him. Give him a shot, I think, even if not blown away, you may be pleasantly surprised.
