Older Dude HEAD BANGS - IRON MAIDEN Rime of the Ancient Mariner is INCREDIBLE

[@metalmark1214]

Iron Maiden has many songs revolving around history. I'd recommend The Longest Day(about D Day landing), Alexander the Great (about Alexander the Great's life), The Trooper (about the Crimeon War), Aces High (about WWII dogfighting), Paschedale (about the WWI battle at Paschedale) To Tame a Land (based on the book Dune) Flight of Icarus (from the story of Icarus).

[@onearthonelegion]

Empire of the Clouds ffs

[@metalmark1214]

The singer of Iron Maiden is Bruce Dickinson. He's now 63 and still going. He also is a commercial pilot and flew the tour plane you saw at the very beginning, yes Iron Maiden had a tour plane. Bruce also is a fencer, has his own beer. He considered one of the best singers in the Rock/Metal gendre.

[@jeffreymeyer4848]

The drummer, Nicko McBrain, is an octopus on that kit, and he's got to be the happiest man in heavy metal, too!

[@metalmark1214]

Here is the meaning of the song. It is based on a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The Mainer tells his tale at a wedding to a wedding guest. They are sailing on the ocean through the fog and ice. The mariner kills the albatross, the bird of good omen. Because he killed the albatross a curse has begun on the ship and crew, they hang the dead bird around his neck. They are adrift at sea "Day after day, day after day, We stuck nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean. Water, water everywhere and All the boards did shrink Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink." (this is were the music is calm to signify the ship adrift, you hear the creaking). The crew start to die (4X 50 living men) The mariner wishes he died with the 200 men. The mariner changes his attitude and blesses the sea creatures, when he does that, the spell starts to break, the albatross falls from his neck and it begins to rain. The mariner sights his home as the spirits leave the bodies of the 200 crewman and the Mainer is left alone. "Then a boat came sailing towards him, it was a joy he could not believe The pilots boat, his son and the hermit." The mariners ship sinks into the sea. The hermit forgives the mariner of his sins. "The mariner is bound to tell his story wherever he goes to teach God's word by his own example that me must love all things God made. The wedding guest leaves a sad and wiser man." Now you know the meaning of the song.

Wow, thank you for that. I absolutely love it, what a great and cool story!

[@rockinthebowlyoutube555]

@@citywoof Hi there from UK. It will come sooner or later so it may as well be now. Nightwish is the band and ghost love score is the song...live from Wacken

[@460style]

I honestly welcome you to our side ❤!!! ✌

[@amanloop]

I'm so glad you've discovered the mighty Maiden and , at the same time, I'm quite envious you get to experience their unique awesomeness for the first time as I did as a kid.

[@getdavo1]

Iron Maiden... THREE lead guitarists. That tells you a lot!

[@citywoof]

SO cool

[@jamesmcconnell8969]

Love that they kept Jannik after Adrian came back....says a ton

[@MartinArscott1]

@@jamesmcconnell8969 it's very apparent that they're a close group, I suspect when one of them gets to the point they can no longer continue they will call it a day as a band, I hope that time doesn't come too soon though, I thought Senjutsu was an epic album and shows they have more to give

[@jmagda315]

I'm 52 and I've been a fan of Maiden since I was 18. One of my all time favorite bands, especially when it comes to really cool guitar solos in so many of their songs. I would recommend that you watch a lyric version of the studio recording of this song, even if it's just on your own time off KZbin. Just so you can really get the full story with clear vocals and instruments. It's one of my top fav's from this amazing band. Also worth a listen if you like cool guitar solos is The Duellists, and for high energy: Aces High (about the Battle of Britain in WWII). Just a few of their great catalog to explore.

[@MartinArscott1]

A fellow 50-something fan here too, it's weird, I have also been a huge fan since 'Piece of Mind', and I was lucky enough to see them live in 2010, but it's only more recently that I've really come to appreciate just how good they truly are....

[@jenniferandrews1917]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you enjoy this! There’s so much more for you to discover with Iron Maiden and other bands. POWERSLAVE is another album that I think you will like.

[@tracycecil8010]

This is the best band in the world. Welcome to the best of the best!

[@aaronfrazier7159]

I have been an Iron Maiden fan since I was 13. I was 13 in 1984 😳, when I found an abandoned back pack on a stone wall near my parent's house while doing my morning paper route. In the backpack was a pair of bra and panties, a t-shirt, a bag with some green tobacco looking stuff (I was 13...I had no idea...lol), a metal pipe for said green stuff and two cassette tapes. They were Iron Maiden "The Number of the Beast" and "Piece of Mind". I took out the cassette in my Sony Walkman, which was Tears for Fears "Tales from the Big Chair" (still a fav of mine) and put in "The Number of the Beast" and got instantly hooked for life on Iron Maiden. I can never again listen to these songs for the first time. It was great watching you, someone of similar age to myself but from a completely different walk of life, react so joyfully to what I have loved for nearly 40 years. Thank you sir, great reaction 👍😎

[@ba55bar]

kids in the front row singing every word of a song that came out before they were born. Maiden are timeless

[@rickymitchell3162]

Another great reaction! All about Maiden live! More Maiden please buddy 🤘🏻

[@davidmerlin6787]

This could be the greatest metal song

[@dariendudley9716]

It's GREAT THAT SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE GETTING HOOKED ON THE VERY MUSIC THAT DEFINES ME

[@javierandres4205]

I love your reaction. You are discovering a new world of music and you are really enjoying this journey, your happy face shows it ☺️ Keep going with the rock music.

[@mordor666]

That was a good start and you've only just scratched the tip of the iceberg. I envy you for discovering all the great songs by Maiden. I know them all inside out and never tire of hearing them. For goosebumps still my tip "The Sign Of The Cross". PS: Maiden's lyrics are great and usually excellent to go with the music. You already know about Metallica: Master Of Puppets. My insider tip here is "Orion" instrumental and goosebumps again. 😅

[@jasperdevries1726]

As for the large drumkit, the drummer has been called a human octopus more than once just for being able to use the full kit.

[@citywoof]

That amazed me - So cool 😎

[@MsCatstaff]

Here's a couple of Maiden's deeper cuts for your listening/reacting pleasure: When The Wild Wind Blows: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZuufHdsrr2fjMU Journeyman: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqmrq2atqrOIpq8 And then a popular one for the fun of it, complete with audience participation: Fear Of The Dark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6G8fImZfdeJqJI

[@dolphin8077]

Welcome to Maiden family. Great react to the greatest live band of all. Never too late for getting in love with Maiden. If i can, i suggest you "Aces hight", "The Talisman", " Seventh son of a Seventhson", " Alexander the great", "Wastin love", "Wasted time", just to pick few successful songs.They gotta a long list of bangers...Let's go and have fun. Rock on 🔥Up the Irons 🤘🏼

[@citywoof]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and the compliment 😎

[@andybowman3867]

Best metal song ever recorded...convince me I’m wrong. The start up to the solos and the solos themselves are simply perfect. Maybe it isn’t the best metal song actually, there are so many maiden songs to pick from, no other band even compares to them. Been a fan since their start.

[@citywoof]

So cool 😎

[@MichaelRCarlson]

Im sorry you missed out on this back in our day! I started going to those shows in the mid 1980's. Thank goodness I ignored church and the PMRC haha. They've been part of the soundtract of my life. My daughter's first show was in 2008 and she's been going with me ever since, and again coming up in September.

[@citywoof]

That’s fantastic!

[@johnleak8396]

Inspired by the epic poem called The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Once you get more into Maiden, you'll see a lot of their songs are inspired by history, mythology and literature. I've been a fan since their first album.

[@zarkruzam3090]

You'd have to be lifeless if Dave's & Adrian's solos don't pierce your soul! Amazing performance!

[@marcialp93]

I really enjoyed this reaction video! That song is amazing and I got to experience a live show 7 days ago here in Denver colorado! My wife got me tickets for my birthday last December and it was one of the best birthday gifts ever!.. if they ever come back out on tour I highly recommend seeing them live for sure! From beginning to the end not one person in the entire arena was sitting down..

[@Maltiris]

Iron Maiden is still one of the best Metal Bands out there. Plus even in their 60s they still put on a heck of a show. Now that sir is a drum set, you want to see a drum kit, check out Rush, YYZ, live in Rio and check out that kit. By the way I'm really enjoying your reactions. You bring a smile to my face. 😆

[@citywoof]

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

[@blacjack]

Iron Maiden is one of the all time greats. You mentioned Black Sabbath. You definitely need to listen to some Black Sabbath as well. I suggest Snow Blind, the transitions in that song are still among my favorite.

[@GbHandlebar]

I’d definitely recommend checking out Cardiacs, a now-defunct UK band that went under many people’s radar for decades, yet now have a much larger fan base, largely thanks to KZbin. For many people, myself included, Cardiacs changed the way they thought about what music could be. They certainly influenced many better known acts. There’s an extensive back catalogue to discover, with some very eccentric early videos (Tarred and Feathered, R.E.S, etc…) being the ones people often find first when searching online. However, maybe I’d suggest the ‘shed rehearsal’ versions of ‘Visiting Hours’ or ‘Jibber and Twitch’, which shows them, in a very different form, towards the end of their career. Tim Smith (RIP), their frontman and main songwriter, was a rare genius, eventually receiving an honorary doctorate for his work.

[@Donantoine]

I like Bach's music, but this is also a classical masterpiece ! Good to see you enjoyed it. Metallica: maybe 'Orion' live. Also great.

[@fredericjaquet3729]

Seeing your joy sparks joy too. You should attend one of their gigs : it's more than a concert, it's an experience !

[@citywoof]

I think I would love it!

[@ezhope1]

Just saw them Saturday in Denver. They still bring their A game, it was as exhilarating as the first time I saw them on the World Slavery Tour in ‘85

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

Another great reaction to a fantastc band. Funny you should mention Blue Öyster Cult...they were my favourite rock band back in my high school days. I had their logo on all of my binders/notebooks. I really loved their album Cultösaurus Erectus. Actually, the songs Black Blade from that album is my next reaction suggestion. It's so underrated and relatively unknown...everybody knows Don't Fear The reaper and a fair amount of people know Godzilla, but Black Blade never seems to get mentioned. I also really like the next track on the album, Monsters...it has a great jazzy breakdown part that's unexpected and fun to listen to. Cheers!

[@szponixx]

Could you do Blood Brothers next? En Vivo version. You will love it ;)

[@cinedelasestrellas]

I remember when I was a kid, there were plenty of moms around me (not my own though) that swore that metal was somehow “Devil music” too. Funny thing about this particular song: what’s the message of it in the end? That we should love all things that God made. Yeah, really evil.

[@citywoof]

I’m learning that a lot of these songs and groups such as Iron Maiden - are highly moral!

[@user-lo7es6gw1x]

History tellers usually british ,Steve Harris(Bass) is the main song writer

[@MartinArscott1]

It's such a shame metal music had/has a bad reputation, I was raised as a Christian too but, although my parents thought it was 'just a load of noise' they let me listen to whatever I liked. It's ironic really that the drummer in Iron Maiden is a Christian so they're far from devil worshippers!! Glad you finally found them and are enjoying their music, the sheer talent of many metal musicians and singers is majorly underrated. Love seeing your reactions :) Subbed!

[@citywoof]

Thanks so much, Martin! I have so much more to learn about the genre!

[@AngelAguilar-ej2km]

I love powerslave or seventh son of a seventh son. To many to choose from.

I wood LOVE to hear Woody Guthrie cover this song! I am a huge fan..and according to my Grandmother related. Not as fast..but in typical Woody form.

For Metallica check out songs Ride the Lightning, Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, Master of Puppets, Disposable Heros, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Nothing Else Matters, One, and instrumental Orion.

[@GreyHell241]

May I suggest Empire in the Clouds by Iron Maiden. I think you're gonna love this one.

[@davea5794]

You should listen to the band Rush, next!

[@Logos.1990]

Please react to Fear of the dark! Is epic and one of the best song ever by them

[@bobdillashaw4360]

If you’re going to start Metallica, I’d like to suggest master of puppets, as a first time listener, you’ll want to have the lyrics video.

[@TheDryparn]

Yeah, metal has a pretty bad reputation but that is because some people are taking it literally when it actually is storytelling, often with heavy and complex subjects. Many people like it because it helps them process conflicting and weighty burdens and thoughts. It helps when you know you are not the only one having a hard time.

[@Shadow00766]

If you like music with real thought through lyrics like Maiden you should try the band RUSH someday. They were the BEST in their genre until the Professor died. One of the best drummers on earth. RIP Neil Peart. I have seen both Maiden and RUSH in shows a few times .... Best experiences in my life. You can try Tom sawyer or Zanadu. .. the lives are good also.

[@brianpoole4369]

give "wishbone ash" a listen...iron maiden said, wishbone ash were their inspiration...wishbone ash, was..and still is..a british heavy rock band, formed in the early seventies...their most famous album "ARGUS"...is still in the top twenty of best british albums of all time..give em a reaction...another british rock band from the seventies "UFO"..are also worth a listen..their most famous track is called "ROCK BOTTOM"..from the album..phenomenon..give it a listen..its a heavy metal anthem..never to be forgot

[@citywoof]

Awesome!

[@DenverStarkey]

seriously? you got nothing to say about the bassist (the founder and main song writer) of the band ? i mean just Wow. i can't believe so few reaction-ers ever comment on the bass guitar. Steve Harris is one of the top bassist of all time, not just a top metal bassist. and you seriously don't even have one thing to say about his playing. just Wow. that said here's some other epic songs to look up and check out: Revelations. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. To Tame a Land. Empire of the Clouds. Blood Brothers. Dance of Death. Fear of the Dark. Sign of the Cross. Lord of the Flies. The Clansman. Paschendale. Caught Somewhere in Time. The Phantom of the Opera.

Excellent content right there ! I found your channel, right away, and gonna stick with it - and, yeah, I most certainly and unequivocally, stated Beastie Boys for your listening pleasure. Although, their most popular songs, are likely not there best songs.... To appreciate their foundations and development of their music, hip hop in general, and pop culture, I suggest these tracks : Shake Your Rump 3 MCs & 1 DJ Root Down Sure Shot Hey Ladies Pass The Mic So Whatcha Want Finger Lickin Good Professor Booty Looking Down The Barrel Open Letter To NYC Alive Ch Ch Check It Out Skills To Pay The Bills And, you will be inevitably flooded with these : Sabatoge Intergalactic Brass Monkey Fight For Your Right . . . -30+ yrs of groundbreaking music, videos, fashion, and did it all unapologetically while keeping true to their craft, and always innovating and reinventing themselves. -Will also be looking forward to when you bring maiden back on the channel ! 40+ yrs of goodness, as you know, heavy metal, is a tribute *TO* Iron Maiden 🤘 Up The Irons 🤘
