Bruce's Turn!! | Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera - Live at Download Festival| REACTION

[@QazwerDave]

This song and the Nightwish song is NOT the same !! This is an original, the Nightwish song is a cover of the film and musical !!

Greetings from Germany and sorry for any mistakes for my broken English The phantom of the opera: My results Iron Maiden 14. April 1980 from (Iron Maiden) Andrew Lloyd Webber (Musical) 9. October 1986 Nightwish 24.May 2002 from (Century Child) And last but not least The phantom of the opera of the French Gaston Leroux of 1911 is based All search by Google and Wikipedia 🤟🤟

Thanks for the clarification. I hadn't seen this Iron Maiden song, and kept listening for anything that sounded like Andrew Lloyd Weber. But, this is a hell of a performance!!

Nightwish fan, but I've got to hand it to Iron Maiden this time! They did an original song; this isn't a cover of your Broadway classic, and the guitar player *killed* it!

[@Venca8787]

As a fun of both i would love to see Tarja with Bruce, Bruce already sing in opera before so that would be a duet out of this universe. :)

[@unchz]

Nightwish is like no match for Iron Maiden... Up the irons!!

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

The two phantoms are different Heath. Nightwish is a cover of the musical phantom of the opera. Maidens phantom is just God like Metal.

Both songs are TOP.

[@scottshaffer3257]

This song was released on Maiden's first album in 1980 with Paul DiAnno on vocals, and is one of their early originals. The Nightwish video is a cover version of an Andrew Lloyd Weber song from the Broadway musical. Completely different songs, both are excellent.

[@JohnJackson-cj6wx]

Never been before and never will be again,never be another Iron maiden, unique original Powerful,stage perfection and quite simply a music phenomenon 🤘

[@uoabigaillevey]

As happy as they seem to be playing this song.. you must also consider that this song was on their very first studio album.. they have been playing this song for over 40 years.. and they are STILL happy to be playing it. That should say something about this band in and of itself. Peace

Almost 40 years ago I saw Maiden perform this at the 1980 Reading Rock Festival. Bruce was also there with his band Samson.

[@BurnoutTubePL]

A lot of people? Nothing special no more than 100,000. But the place itself is magical and legendary. Because of this, the crowd always looks impressive.

[@searrg]

This is an iconic song man... You just experienced live heavy metal history. For me no one else delivers like iron maiden does on stage. 🙂🤘

[@PurpleDracos]

One of the most iconic guitar lines in all of metal.

I'd be smiling 24/7 too if I had that drummer's life. Imagine being paid to do what he does and having adoring fans all over the world.

[@chalkus]

I was at Download that year. We were backstage too!!! Awesome

[@rogeriopenna9014]

The Phantom of the Opera muscal, which Nightwish does the famous song, came out in 1986. Iron Maiden's Phantom of the Opera is based directly from the 1910 book and was released in 1980. Thus obviously, they invented their own song for the book.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

@@grievuspwn4g3 yes, but the famous Phantom of the Opera song didn´t exist yet when Iron Maiden created theirs.

[@pault1964]

Years ago in the uk this song was used in an energy drink advert

[@anderslofgren8235]

It's an amazing band. I've been listening to them since 1981-2 and you've just discovered them but the love is the same. I've seen them live 8 times and they are the best live band i have ever seen. I haven't seen Nightwish yet, though...I have a feeling they are even better. But Maiden live is an experience, audience from 12-70 years old and everybody sings along in every song. Amazing feeling of belonging, the metal family is huge, diverse and welcoming!

[@Gus100676]

Up the irons buddy. You need to react to the live performances of The Clansman and also sign of the cross. Amazing does not even get close. All the best from another Airbourne and ACDC veteran. Keep up the amazing work. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

If you have the chance to see Iron Maiden live, go!! It is the one and the BEST band in live show!! I'm from Argentina, and I go to see them EVERY time they came this way! I love this guys!

[@jokergotham2863]

The first album from iron maiden called '' killers '' there ist the phantom opera with the first Singer from iron maiden. His Name was Paul di anno. Check it out.

[@TheEricthefruitbat]

Phantom is the quintessential Iron Maiden song; a perfect blend of heavy and melodic.

[@osamaqtaitat]

Yeah, the perfect description is heavy and melodic!! That’s their essence!!

[@Georgeydores1]

Dude I was at this very show 10 from the front. Nobody had a clue that spitfire was coming, it was flying so low we just couldn’t see it. The noise from the engines blew the crowds head off, the flight and cheering didn’t stop for like 10 minutes before they opened the show with Moonchild, holy fucking shit. Literally one of the best live shows I’ve ever been to no doubt. So nice to see you react so fondly to it, you should have been there man.

[@marciusnhasty]

Unique problem with the Iron Maiden is that they manage to outsell most festivals by themselves. Also, another good indicator that they love their job is that most of them are doing this for the last 40 years. xD

[@andrewbell8458]

Great video. What makes it better is i was actually at Download at the time

[@ZealSeraph]

Can't help but love all those little gestures that show how much the band loves what they're doing.

[@lesliebrewer7770]

I was there & i can tell you it was fantastic, i have been a Maiden fan since 1977 & have seen them so many times there shows are a blast, if you get the chance to see them do so you won't be disappointed UP THE IRONS

This was my first time reaction when this song was released 😂.

[@pault1964]

The band all enjoying themselves

[@AGDinCA]

Personally, no one does Phantom of the Opera like Sarah Brightman. She was the original singer of the song. In fact, it was written for her by her husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber, the famous composer. That being said, I hadn't heard this before and I f'n LOVED it! Bruce Dickinson has one of the best male voices in metal EVER!! I'm pretty sure Brittney Hayes is the love child of Dickinson and Dio.

[@ChrisPage68]

Brittney or Floor would not be out of place in Maiden, should Bruce retire (not that he will).

[@AGDinCA]

@@ChrisPage68 I kinda don't see Floor there. But Brittney? Oh gawd!! Yes, please!!!!!

[@alextozzi8619]

I love people loving Nicko, he is really awesome

[@yksvaan1690]

Find me a song that Iron Maiden doesn't triolify. Because they do it better than anyone. But I wait to see which one of the songs in the immortal Phantom Of The Opera this is. (Speaking of opera, the performing of Phantom I saw at Helsinki Opera House is second to only one. The Hunchback of the Notre Dame at Tampereen Teatteri, a re-gorification of the Disney nice clean version back to the original Hugo story, is just immortal. I hope they publish the recording of it. People from 9 to 90+ were crying there.)

[@thumper302]

I just had a lovely thought, Iron Maiden and Nightwish. Both bands making a song together. On stage together. 12 incredible musicians playing on stage together. 🤯

[@jeffschroeder930]

Iron Maiden are so Epic and Legendary that no other band will ever share the stage with them.

[@yayyyrab]

As long as they all play the same song. We wouldn't want half the musicians thinking that they're at an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.

[@francoborgia8351]

Phantom of the Opera my favourite song by Iron Maiden!

[@dirtpile]

Maiden is a trend setter - they set standards in metal for over 30 years. Nightwish is a great band that has taken symphonic metal to the next level. Each at the top of their game in their own genre and time frame.

[@vlad-ovidiuadam6489]

I did not know they did such a thing untill I heard you mention it in the Nightwish Phantom reaction earlier. And you were right...they're totally opposite renditions but both equally A-W-E-S-O-M-EEEEE!!!! I will definetly keep following you because looks like it's a pretty darn tuutin way of finding new stuff :). Rock on!

[@kalevilampi5016]

So this has got nothing to do with the Webber's Phantom of the Opera. Steve Harris wrote this song in the late 70s as he was waiting for a bus in the streets of London...!

I've always loved Maiden and I also love Nightwish. They are different bands, different songs but still masters at what they do. One other difference, Nightwish are all in their 40s (except Floor she's a baby ;) ) Iron Maiden are now all around 60 and they've been doing this almost before anyone in Nightwish was born! I still love both bands and I love Bruce and Floor, they are both absolute professionals than excel at their craft. I've been lucky to see Maiden live at Donington Monsters of Rock (94 I think) Hoping to level up the score and watch Nightwish live next year/2021 when they hit the UK with the new album/tour :)
