FIRST TIME HEARING Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (LIVE) REACTION | SO FIRE! 🔥😱

[@justinatest9456]

I'm sitting here laughing at all the smiling this song brought on for the two of you. Love to see it! Maiden is probably the single most respected band in metal. True statesmen, they have represented metal since they began, and they've done it well. I'd love to request The Clansman* from their Rock in Rio 2001 performance. Recorded just days after 9/11 the energy of the song, band, and crowd is electric. *Not what you might think, it's about the Scottish resisting British tyranny. Think Braveheart. FREEEEEDOM! Peace.

[@goodini026]

was about to say the same thing. when people listen to songs i enjoy and i see them smile and physically enjoy the music, it makes me so happy

[@sarablack2547]

From a Scot I vote yes! Scotland forever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿! 😁

[@Tomba6556]

Rock in Rio 2001 was in january, 8 months before the 9/11. But i totally agree with the performance, i would say that its the best Maiden live performance.

[@madelineanabella6400]

Thank you, im gonna go watch that live right after this reaction. I don’t remember if I’ve seen that one. The one after 911 🇺🇸♥️🎼🎶🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🎵

Iron Maiden are arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Every time you do an Iron Maiden reaction make sure is a live version. Maiden is a live band.

[@susanconstable2113]

Bruce’s voice is absolutely insane!! His energy level is also off the charts. The entire band is extremely talented.

[@kurtsaxton823]

Greatest Metal band of all.

[@chaospoet]

I was 11-12 years old when I first discovered this band in the very early 90s (92/93 somewhere in there). Had a paper route (back when kids could do that) and bought every album that existed at the time and every VHS live concert available. This song since I first heard it when I bought this album is tied with another song (Prodigal Son from the album before this one) as my favorite Iron Maiden song. I didn't get to see them perform it live until I was nearly 40 and not only was it worth the wait I nearly cried in pure joy when I heard those bell tolls. Instantly took me back to my youth hearing it for the first time all those years ago. It brings me great happiness seeing generations after me experiencing Maiden for the first time and seeing how much you're enjoying it. This stuff is timeless and generations after you who are just little kids now or not even born yet will experience it for the first time and enjoy it as much as you and I have and that is just an amazing and beautiful thing.

[@denniscach5060]

You guys are gonna love this song, outside of Wasted Years, definitely my favorite Maiden song, and the solo in this is fricking awesome!!!

[@damot1051]

This show was recorded at Hammersmith in London 20th March 1982. The album this track is on (Number of the Beast) was released 2 days later. Unless any of the crowd had been to one of the previous shows of this tour, it was the first time they'd heard this song. It was only recorded in the January/February 82 for the album. This performance was as new to the band as it was to their fans. Its still by far the best live version in my opinion.

[@KhukuriGod]

Yep. Bruce's live vocal performance in the 80's gradually goes downhill after this recording. Now I don't know anything about singing but even as a pleb I can notice a huge difference between the performance here and the ones in _Live After Death_ and _Maiden England._

[@hervebacker7574]

THIS brings me back to '83 - '84 at the age of 15. Back then, Iron Maiden with "The number of the Beast" was one of the coolest in the hard-rock.

[@thomastaylor6355]

I'm with you on that. Me too

[@christopherglock7239]

Priest and Maiden were the metal of the early 80's Storytime we all learned from. Bruce always kills it.

[@justinatest9456]

"Heavy metal and mullets is how we were raised Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised." Sum41 - Fat Lip They should react to that video. I loved the random shoutout to Maiden in that song.

[@geneticrex]

This band has SO many great tracks, it's ridiculous. Best hard rock/metal band ever.

[@Alberto_1965_BR]

The tour of the best Metal album from the best Metal Band. The best Metal line up with the awesome Clive Burr on drums. Best Metal drummer. Rest in Power, Clive Up the Irons 🤘

[@metalmark1214]

Probably the most well known Maiden and celebrated song. About a man to be condemed to death and all the emotions he is going through. A masterpiece off of NOTB. Been listening to Maiden since 1982. Almost anything of this album, Piece of Mind and Powerslave is great.

[@thomastaylor6355]

Me too ☺️

[@damonhines8187]

My English late uncle told me in the 90s during their full family's first visit to Toronto that he'd worked with Maiden founder/bassist/principal songwriter Steve Harris. They were architectural draughtsmen. I too studied it in the mid 70s, decided not to continue. Steve Harris is 4 months older than me and bought his first bass in '71. Always loved that gallop so central to many of their songs, the twin guitar leads and attack, the thunderous drums and Bruce Dickinson's astonishing voice.

[@seanbarker4610]

One of the very few bands that are actually better live than on the records!

[@davidclark442]

Oh I totally agree that they are better live

[@sumonjamal1653]

'Hallowed be thy name' was not a single when Iron Maiden's 3rd album 'The number of the beast' dropped in 1982 (This video was filmed on that tour - it was also drummer Clive Burr's last tour in Maiden. He passed away in 2013 😪) but it was one of those songs that pumped up the crowd every night... So, in subsequent tours, Maiden played it faster than the studio track - it was 1 of their songs that sounded better in a live version, and that was released as a single in 1993... and again in 2002 as a charity single for ex-drummer Clive Burr, who was diagnosed w/ MS at the time. Iron Maiden was not too different from AC/DC live in concert - u had 2 guys working the crowd (In Maiden, it was vocalist Bruce Dickinson and bassist Steve Harris) while the other 2 (guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith) would just play their parts and occasionally take the spotlight. In fact, Iron Maiden fans in the US were not happy when guitarist Janick Gers replaced Adrian Smith in 1990... Gers would be jumping around on stage and hyping the crowd, and it was so different from what Adrian Smith did... However, when Adrian Smith rejoined Maiden in 1999, he and guitarist Dave Murray would be subtle on stage, while Janick Gers would do his maniacal playing on his end... 😂

[@rippedgenes]

Actually I find this is one of the few songs that I find the studio version gives the live versions at least a run for their money. In most cases Maiden songs are all better live.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@rippedgenes That's your opinion...

[@jaskau2462]

Nicely reacted guys. Instantly throws me back in 1987 in Helsinki Ice Hall at Finland 🇫🇮 when seeing them live(Somewhere On Tour with special guest W.A.S.P) as a 'youngster'... Bruce Dickinson rips your lungs out with his interaction via audience. This gem track and performance was few years earlier when Mr. Dickinson was relatively "newbie" in Iron Maiden's line up and haven't developed such energy exchange by using the mic... YET! 😀 #UP THE IRONS

[@kinzei1971]

The smile on your face says it all. An epic band. Been listening since 83. If you ever get a chance to see them live, it’s absolutely worth the price of admission. I’ve been talking my nephew to see them since he was 12. Seen them 4 time.

[@JG-fv9bv]

In his spare time Bruce Dickinson works as a Commercial Airline Pilot , and at one time was rated as on of the top fencers ( swordsmen ) in the world

[@brucedickinson12]

no really

[@MsCatstaff]

And hey, let's not forget the three books he's written, too - a couple of novels plus his autobiography. And the brewing, since he's one of the people who crafted Trooper Beer.

[@martinsv9183]

Check out any of their live concerts. Always impressive performances. From Rock in Rio for example. "Fear of the Dark". Or "Sign of the cross".. has a lot of nice quitar solos.

[@richardrobbins8067]

Flight 666 is a great and somewhat recent documentary, if you've got a couple hours. Their worldwide fandom is mind blowing and heartwarming at times 🤘

[@christopherglock7239]

My first concert Judest Priest and Iron Maiden at the Palladium in Manhattan. Both singers were killing it.

[@jamescarter4339]

I saw them in 1985 live it was greatest concert ever. They still used Eddy the 20 foot mascot for maiden. He is on all the album covers. But they are the greatest 80's rock band ever and is still making albums.

[@213amp]

UP THE IRONS 🤘 now try ALEXANDER THE GREAT and RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER

[@victorramsey5575]

Iron Maiden has always been one of those band who truly appreciates their fans. I remember back in the late 1980s, they had a concert for charity. All tickets were $10!! It was a benefit for the homeless shelters in all the cities on the tour. The entire tour sold out in less than 1 day.

Bruce Dickinson is a legitimate Metal God. Aside from being the front man for the band, he’s also their charter pilot to and from different countries between performances and has survived 2 plane crashes and is also an Olympic level fencer. The amount of skill oozing off this man is more than most can ever dream to have in a single lifetime

[@donaldallison7202]

Maiden was my 1st concert back in 1983 in Long Beach CA, it was awesome 🤘

[@emcsquared8681]

Bruce Dickinson has horse lungs, he’ll hit a note and you can go grab a sandwich and he’ll still be holding that note when you get back.

[@danfaubert5907]

Man, this is by far the hardest song to play for a guitarist..the progressions between solo and bridge..crazy...notice during the bridges that 2 guitars and base plays the exact same notes but in different octaves..mind blowing...FYI - they're on tour this year..and Bruce Dickenson (singer) is flying their plane (he's a licensed Boing pilot - their last tour, they rented a 747 and he flew the band to all their tour dates.

[@MsCatstaff]

Bruce said at his Spoken Word show that I went to back in February, he'll not be flying Ed Force One anymore - getting too close to mandatory commercial pilot retirement age.

Same here. Finally, after two years waiting for... 🔥🔥🔥

[@madelineanabella6400]

😂😂😂 I have never ever heard iron maiden referred to as “chill”. That is really crazy. I noticed that as they got older they got more energy . if you look at ithe 2008 live concert , Bruce Dickinson is running around, belting out long ass notes, wearing really cool outfits and sounding immaculate. Since this was their first concert together, and they had only started working together a month earlier , I think they did pretty good😊

I seen them Live in 88 and still to this day one of the BEST LIVE shows I've ever seen.

[@lkesha82]

Love your reactions!! More Iron Maiden please! )

[@BlackRoseImmortal]

This was pretty early in Maiden's career, they were just beginning to really get their feet under them. The singer Bruce Dickinson was relatively new to the band. Check out one of their greatest live video's for the song called "Fear of the Dark" Live in Rio 2001. It is pretty insane, the crowd is over the top hype. I'll throw in the link for you if you decide to check it out. -------> kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqHFn6iYi7Sdhrs

[@fredcookerly9385]

Yeah, they didn't quite have their showmanship yet at this young age. Plus they were probably dog tired from constantly touring. Watch the Flight 666 version of this song and you'll see a band with tons of energy.

This was 2 day before the release of of the new album, so the people were hearing this song first time ever.

[@susanconstable2113]

Can we all agree that Bruce Dickinson can hold a note for a very long time!!! He always reminds me of a hyper active child. Keep the maiden coming! You’ll never go wrong with them. Iron Maiden always has good artwork! Their “mascots” name is Eddie. He changes from album cover to album cover and shirt to shirt. He is as infamous as the band itself. Oh and another fyi for you- the lead singer Bruce Dickinson is also a pilot and yes he flies them around in their own iron Maiden airplane!!

[@shawnc666]

Iron Maiden was just beginning to evolve here.....I'm 51 years old and I remember seeing them for my first time around 1989. You should react to some of the more recent "live" songs....when I say recent I mean anything in the 2000's and up.....Especially LIVE IN RIO......or ROCK IN RIO.....

So glad you reacted to Iron Maiden they're one of my favorite bands of all time!! like you said they have a very clean sound for a metal band, but very powerful. Bruce Dickinson the singer is one of the best singers in front man for heavy metal using a lot of harmonies and operatic singing. The two guitarists Adrian Smith and Dave Murray are incredible at doing harmonies together. the creator of the band who's the bass player and does most the lyrics to Steve Harris.... you can hear his triple note gallop sounds throughout their songs. Like AC/DC you can pick any song and they're ALL incredible!!! both bands have done hundreds of songs too which is amazing!!

Bruce Dickinson is nicknamed The Air Raid Siren (and here you can see why). Also if you notice on the 2nd “Low” at the start he looks and asks for the volume to be turned up. Interesting fact: Bruce Dickinson is a qualified Airline pilot and flies the bands 747 when they are on tour.

[@marine5480]

One of the reasons why the crowd in this one seems to be in awe is because they hey were. If I’m not mistaken this particular version is the debut of this song and everyone was hearing this masterpiece for the first time. They hadn’t even heard the album version at this point.

If you listen close you can hear a clicking sound with every note the bass player hits. That's Steve Harris' strings tapping the neck of the bass. Done on purpose, it adds a percussive element to Maiden that no other band has. Steve is the soul of the band. Especially now.
