Teen Reacts To Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name *First Time*!!!

[@gandalf679]

With Iron Maiden you don't just get a killer song...but a history lesson as well...and at 63, I've been a fan from the beginning...Enjoy this ride...Rock ON!!!

[@LA80sMike]

At 56 here my friend, completely agree AND us old heads are still head banging!!!

[@catboxvideo]

only a little younger than you mate, I was introduced to them as a friends older brother had an extra ticket to the World Slavery tour and invited me... hell of an introduction i will tell you..

[@m.ericwatson968]

~Up The Irons!

[@bigkev4273]

I've been there with ya since 81' UP THE IRONS.

[@sorelsuareztube]

And so, a rocker is born. Good son! Follow the path!

[@carllewis1852]

From this kid's reaction, REJOICE Everyone. For a metal head has just been born!!!!!

[@eddiemckenna9414]

It's great seeing someone listen to Maiden for the first time

[@profanepersonality]

The crazy thing is that they can perform this live, to perfection.

[@traviscrockett3640]

Damn skippy they can. Seen them do it live twice!

[@PeterDouglas-wd5fx]

Welcome to the world of Iron Maiden! They are incredible live: Hallowed Be Thy Name in Toronto, Fear of the Dark in Dortmund, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Dance of Death from the En Vivo tour, Phantom of the Opera at Donnington and the Clansman at Rock in Rio. All are epic - enjoy!

[@Kid-8888]

Little Bro, that was an absolute great reaction. It brought a flood of memories to my head thinking of hearing it myself as a youngster in the early 80's. Far to many folks who have never heard Iron Maiden think of them as being nothing more then just a hard and heavy group that makes loud noise. In actuality they are probably the greatest storytellers of all time and their music is like the amusement park ride that takes you through the story in a metaphysical form. You can thank them for leading me here and subscribing to your channel!

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Oh young Man, you MUST react to this song live!!! I suggest the RocknRio version as Bruce hold the last note an incredible 24 seconds 😊

[@m.ericwatson968]

Honestly like the studio version best, they always seem to quicken the pace live so that Bruce can barely sing it

[@arminstojcsics6004]

​@@m.ericwatson968what the hell are you talking about?

[@m.ericwatson968]

@@arminstojcsics6004 when they played it live, tour after tour, the tempo got faster, Adrian himself quit partly because of that, they (Maiden) just played songs faster and faster live, they lost the cadence...Hallowed is a dirge, a dirge needs to sound like it should be faster, but it drags on, hence, dirge

[@nadjasunflower1387]

'82 Beast over Hammersmith is still the best live version.

[@BradenMcClure-q6k]

​@arminstojcsics6004 he stupid

[@michelangelobasque2157]

Oh yes!! Love Iron Maiden. You're in for some good Metal. Good choice Silas. 👍

[@mikenastasi8927]

The Number Of The Beast was released in 1982. It was their 3rd album and 1st with Bruce Dickinson on vocals. I was introduced to Iron Maiden in 1984 when I was 9, by this album and specifically the song Run To The Hills. I've been a fan since. I have every studio and live album of theirs and some compilations. Been fortunate to see them 5X's. Number Of The Beast is a great album to start with.

[@Thesteadfast]

Even before you started the song I told my wife, "It's always nice to see a conversion experience." Just wait until you get into the lyrics/storytelling, their stage presence and meeting Eddie!

[@liammerrick6399]

I can't get enough of this band. Every day for I don't even know how many years. They make metal beautiful. It's pure energy man. In my fucking veins

[@iamnoone7711]

My young friend if you go down a heavy metal rabbit hole you won’t come back out. I went down in mine 44 years ago and I’m still there. This genre of music changed my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My two favorite Maiden albums are Number Of The Beast and Powerslave UP THE IRONS!!!🤘

[@deansmith8404]

For Iron Maiden you really need to do the live versions. They are great in studio but most excellent live. UP THE IRONS!

[@narkybark]

When someone who's used to classic rock dips their toes into heavy metal for the first time, I always recommend Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. Good melodies, catchy rhythms, great vocalists and just great overall gateway bands. Maiden has several solid albums, but my top 3 are Powerslave, Somewhere in Time, and Piece of Mind.

[@douggoff7090]

its always good to see a new generation appreciating great music

[@peperino25]

*Deep Purple - Burn (official audio studio)*

[@humbertogomez2076]

Best band on earth! No one composes and creates a song like mighty Maiden , they are unique in everything they do

[@Motbilder]

Fellow metalhead, your reaction reminded me so much of myself. This was the very album that turned me into metal. A lifechanger. Up the irons and a wish for a most enjoyable Maiden voyage for you.

[@johnfoster5295]

They have a song called Rime Of The Ancient Mariner which is based on a poem of the same name by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. You should check it out. Maybe start with the first album, called Iron Maiden for an album reaction and work your way through at least the first 5 albums. They are all great. Original singer was Paul DiAnno. Number Of The Beast is my favorite but all of the first 5 are great imo. Rime Of The Ancient Mariner is on the 5th album, called Powerslave.

[@vader8724]

Your reaction is everybody's reaction. I saw them in '85 when I was 16 and again in 2022. They are brilliant with their talent and execution. Everyone of those f$%%^ers can play their instruments at a high level. Hail to the MAIDEN!

[@MsBenlane]

now think of this played to a crowd of a hundred thousand or more singing and dancing along with them but you need to watch a live cut of them

[@DAMAGEinc.056]

You can not tell the story of Metal without Iron Maiden. One of the greatest front men with the greatest voice backed by a band who were THE GIANT among giants back in the day! As you just proved their music is timeless. Great reaction🤜

[@ajruther67]

WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE, WATCH THE LIVE VIDEO OF THIS PERFORMANCE FROM 1982. YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

[@davidclark442]

The most amazing thing about Hallowed be thy name is how Bruce Dickinson is so clear you can hear his lyrics over the guitar riffs it's just amazing

[@MetalPhoenix13]

You gotta watch the live version of this song

[@sixslinger9951]

I saw them in the early 80's////still one of my favorite concerts of my life.

[@andrewkinslow8725]

“Hollowed Be Thy Name”, the new hit song from the heavy metal band Iron Termites! Up the Irons!😎🤘

[@PhilPastor]

Good reaction, Silas! The first 2 albums have a different lead singer, but hold a special place in my heart. Late 70's is when I first started listening to them as a teenager, and these guys exploded onto the scene along with Judas Priest and the Scorpions. BTW, this song is "Hallowed" be thy name, not "hollowed". Keep rockin'!

[@scottspears9347]

Saw Iron Maiden live back in August of 2019 with my wife and son in Tinley Park, Illinois and it was amazing

[@nickf2000ss]

aww man I wish i could go back and hear these classic songs for the first time again

[@carlosvalentinvalentin277]

Welcome to the rabbit hole young man!!! IRON MAIDEN is the ultimate Heavy Metal band that still today has sell out worldwide stadium concerts up to one year before they have the show!!! The best experience is to witness their live concerts and I know that many here in your comments will recommend dozen upon dozens of masterpiece classic compositions that if I were to share my personal favorites, we will be over 50 compositions to just start with!!! Again young man, welcome to the universe of IRON MAIDEN, welcome to your new rabbit hole!!! "UP THE MIGHTY IRONS"!!! P.S., I loved your reaction to "HALLOWED BE THY NAME"!!!

[@thedepot7416]

You have started your iron maiden journey, welcome and enjoy

[@gurkharo2408]

Imagine a 9 y.o. kid listening on a walkman on the rear seat of a car driving through the woods ... then it came "Powerslave" and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" !!!! One my best experience in life ... I don't listen Iron Maiden anymore (or sometimes as a kid souvenir) but "Powerslave" album makes me what I am now ; a ckufin' rocker !!!

[@jenniferandrews1917]

UP THE IRONS!! 🤘🏻

[@shanemccormick3483]

Iron Maiden is arguably the greatest for a reason!!

[@BurtMuncie-s1u]

Welcome to the fold young man. Been a Maiden fan since '82. The song "Run to the Hills" got my attention back then, because of it's radio play. But that very song right there is what made me fall in love with Iron Maiden. UP THE IRONS!!🤘🤘

[@manicdiamond4504]

Iron maiden will always be my favorite band

[@scottyscot8]

Yeah,Iron Maiden,total music class,love the reaction 🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶🎧❤️

[@nickpotts3913]

It's only when I see the kids reacting to how good the music was when I was their age, that I remember how spoiled for choice we were for great music back then. Love your reaction kidda

[@johnfoster5295]

Good choice to start. This is my favorite Maiden song, but they have many bangers. They had a different singer on their first 2 albums. Lineup for this album (their 3rd): Bruce Dickinson - vocals Dave Murray - guitar Adrian Smith - guitar Steve Harris - bass Clive Burr - drums

[@ygouvrit]

You just reminded me when I heard Iron Maiden for the first time about your age ! One of my all time favorite bands !

[@lazydada1062]

Welcome to the Iron Maiden rabbit hole :) "Powerslave" would make for a great album listen!

[@liammerrick6399]

They have literally dozens of absolute bangers

[@seanbarker4610]

It's a deep rabbit hole!

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Now you're slidin through my teenage years!! There's a reason they have 13 live albums...they're f*ing incredible live. LIVE AFTER DEATH is a double live album that is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Rime Of The Ancient Mariner from said album will prob break that chair for good. Be ready!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@davidfranklin4789]

Rock in Rio. Live performance. All of their greatest hits.

[@TonyPucci11]

If you do an album, POWERSLAVE was when they really hit their first peak. The first four albums are awesome, but POWERSLAVE was it for me, my senior year in high school, and the album cover made the most amazing poster which hung over my bed!

[@Tonzeff]

It's not often you get a genuine reaction from someone who has never heard Maiden before, However.... Seeing as you are curious enough to have opened the door to the crypt, step in, Your guide will be with you shortly to lead you along the path to Iron Maiden Nirvana. There, you will find the answers to the questions you never knew to ask, you will see visions you never thought you would see and you, along with the millions of hoards of fans, in one voice will sing the songs you never thought you would sing. At the end of your journey, you will have become one of the happily afflicted... and will remain that way.... ....Forever..... Eddie x

[@aarongunstone6579]

Maiden have been one of my favourite bands for maybe 25 years now. Absolutely incredible live, even today. Albums to check out: Number of the Beast #3 Seventh Son of a Seventh Son #7 Somewhere in Time #6 Powerslave #5 All the above are at the peak of the "classic" lineup (after Bruce joined, and before things started to go sour). That might sound unfair to Piece of Mind #4 - it's still a great album, just my least favourite from that period. Then after Bruce came back ("Modern Maiden", if you like): Brave New World #12 The Book of Souls #16 But ask another fan and you'll get a pretty different list ;) (Especially outisde the glory years of Number of the Beast through to Seventh Son, which are pretty universally acclaimed).

[@txmotomech]

Dance of Death LIVE! Iron Maiden is one of the greatest bands EVER! Especially live!

[@jimmyavsfan24]

UP THE IRONS. Goats of metal. Enjoy the greatest ride ever.

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

If you are going to do a whole album by them, maybe start with LIVE AFTER DEATH. That way, not only will you get to hear how good they are as live performers, but also you will get to sample renditions of various songs from all their classic 80's albums.

[@ronparsons8786]

Couldn't click on this fast enough. I knew our man here would lose his goddamn mind for this one haha. Silas seeing you play the air guitar on the chair makes this old man very happy

[@billpickard7848]

Silas I think you are ready for Black Sabbath and AC/DC Crazy Train or Back in Black

[@davidclark442]

Bruce Dickinson's voice is amazing he's able to hold that note for so long and it's like a operatic voice a person you would find an opera

[@KevinWalton-me4vv]

I grow up listen to heavy metal and I still listen today age 64

[@ericwilliams1031]

They were a five piece until the late 90s. Adrian Smith left for a bit, Janick Gers replaced him. When he came back they kept all three guitarists. Their first two albums had another vocalist named Paul Di'Anno who had a grittier type voice. "Number Of The Beast" "Piece Of Mind" and "Powerslave" were very popular. "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" is good too. Their first two albums are their own kind of awesome with Di'Anno on vocals.

[@JKM395]

On a clear night, when the moon is full and the wind is just right, if you listen carefully you can still hear the note that Dickinson has been holding since 1983. You just opened the Metal door, young buck. Congratulations. Your life just got more interesting.

[@martinlehotan8373]

Saw Iron Maiden live in September 2022 and they are awesome live! Check out the Clansman from Rock in Rio.

[@Glyphmorph]

The entire Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album is one epic story and just fucking awesome.

[@JD.Knight]

Seventh Son of A Seventh Son is their best album.....in my opinion. However their latest album Senjutsu (2021) is also a masterpiece

[@bookhouseboy280]

Agreed. They never topped Seventh Son.

[@MikeBiscuits27]

Every. Damn. Album. Yes, even the blaze Bailey stuff... To an extent.

[@davidhendrix2418]

Check out THE TROOPER ACES HIGH RUN TO THE HILLS FLIGHT OF ICARUS NUMBER OF THE BEAST

[@doksooli]

Nice to see young dudes like you enjoying Iron Maiden. Keep on rockin' kid ^^

[@MsGeoffh]

They perform better live than in Studio. Absolutely the best! Ever!

[@greggbradford2307]

Yup. It's me again Gregg. I'm still 57 and I've seen this band 4 or 5 times

[@thaeros]

iron maiden as 2 "most popular" album "number of the beast" that is the most "classical" of their album and "fear of th dark" that was the album of the "change"! Next like said someone before me many of maiden songs are linked to history like "run to the hill" on the america "war" against america indians or "acces hight" that is linked to a warplane pilot (english) from the world war but this song is a little diferent it's the story of a guy on death row that is questioning why he had to die like with the sentence "when the priest came to gave me the last rite" or "if there is a god why did he let's me go?"!

[@davidclark442]

What's amazing about this songs that Bruce Dixon is in does not get drowned out by the guitar lyrics

[@neilgilbert6798]

You have to listen to live albums to give the appreciation of this band you will not be disappoint great reaction mate up the iron's 🇬🇧

[@MsBenlane]

they have live dvds and you can look up the lyrics first. watch them perform the songs and you also get eddie on stage.

[@andersohlson3418]

I think you guys discovered a true metallhead! God job! 😁🤘 Next up would be Master of puppets by Metallica! 😊

[@tonygallo2361]

it has just begun.

[@chrisbricky7331]

Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Iron Maiden. Always have the lyrics pulled up so you can read along as you listen. Their catalog is huge, starting in the 1970's and they are still releasing albums even now. There are literally to many great songs to list. You could review Iron Maiden songs quite literally every day and not run out for a very long time. They did not tour in the U.S. in the 1970's but I have seen them in concert in every decade since, including last summer. Chris

[@dmj4966]

Gotta watch there live performances...twice the energy and still going just as hard in their 60's, haven't lost a step...

[@jojokrako7818]

Up the irons\m/ You are in for a wild ride in a deep and wide rabbit hole with Maiden! Enjoy the ride.

[@timothybyrom5560]

It's all good. Piece of mind, Number of the beast, Power slave, Somewhere in time.

[@vicprovost2561]

Also Silas, there is a band that is around your age group called Liliac that does an amazing Iron Maiden cover of the Trooper, you should listen to both the original and their cover version. Great stuff, Rock On!🎸

[@tenoch2112]

Maiden is to be experienced live. For your next try Fear of the Dark from Rock in Rio 2001. You will not regret.

[@bobm3434]

You are truly going down a beautiful rabbit hole.

[@DonMoore2023]

Hi, Silas! Please listen to PIECE OF MIND (1983), POWERSLAVE (1984) and LIVE AFTER DEATH (1985) - these 3 got me into Iron Maiden - then there was NO going back!

[@michelangelobasque2157]

This one is from the third album "Number Of the beast" 1982. First album for the singer and only Dave Murray and Adrian Smith on guitars at the time. Janick Gers came in 1989 or 1990, replacing Adrien. Then Adrien came back and became a three guitar piece.

[@koljathiemann9549]

So u have to react to Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016 Biggest Metalfestival in Germany

[@JimmyRJump]

Saw the lads for the first time at the 1980 UK Reading Rock Festival. Almost 43 years ago. Can't believe it. We still called their music 'hard rock' at the time cuz the term 'heavy metal' hadn't been fully coined yet. Their album I like most is 1988's "Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son". But you can't go wrong with their releases between 1980 and 1988. Enjoy!

[@KevinWalton-me4vv]

I glad young one starting to enjoy good music

[@mikenastasi8927]

YOU HAVE TO REACT TO TAKE HOLD OF THE FLAME BY QUEENSRYCHE -- THE LIVE IN TOKYO 1984 VERSION!!!

[@karenmandeville7116]

Iron Maiden is a great metal band! i would suggest as many live videos as you can.

[@StephenHayes-g4t]

Yeah man, I fully love your reaction to one of the bands my generation listened to. Maiden are one of the best best around for hard rock/metal bands, but you must definitely look into the music of Iron Maiden, but dude you also have to look into the lyrics of each of Iron Maiden’s songs, they are a story, each and every time I am telling you the lyrics are awesome. 🇦🇺👏👏👏👏👏❤🦘

[@robertgonderinger9536]

I just saw these guys live for the third time in October, and they are as good as any other act out there. Check them out - you will not be disappointed!

[@moonlitegram]

You should check out the version on their Live After Death album from 85. They slow down the intro a bit but then pick up the pace a bit on the rest of the song. And overall I think it sounds even better. As great as this track is, I love their live version even more.

[@troyhyre8043]

I don't know a lot about Maiden, but how good was that! Definitely five chairs just for rockin' out!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Silas I just remembered something about guitar bands in general and I remember commenting at some point you definitely to check out more Lynyrd Skynyrd, there is so much of it. And this in turn reminds me of Alice Cooper which was before metal that like hard rock in the early 70s and he's got some really famous hit but my favorite album of his and there are several favorite albums by the way, but it is Love It To Death. Everything on that album is fire. Hollywood be thy name is one of the songs, but apart from tackling the whole album which you may not want to do, check out a couple of the big hits from it but my favorite of all is called, long way to go. It was featured in the movie soundtrack to the world according to GARP where he is driving the babysitter home in his car in his station wagon actually, and he has it on classical jazz or something like that and she keeps reaching over and changing the station to a rock station which is playing this Alice Cooper song, long way to go. And after they fight over for a bit he decides to leave it on and then they Crank It Up really really loud it's a fantastic scene. But at any rate, and I know you would love it, it's just guitar-driven but also his voice is amazing and the band is super incredible, and the message of the song is great, everything about it and it even has his kind of more funky Hardrock part later in it. Although the whole song isn't really long at all. In fact I wish it were three times as long as that's how much I like it.

[@KevinWalton-me4vv]

Love your reacton to one of the band going I see these 11 or 12 time live

[@justinatest9456]

This is where it all started for me. This album and Kiss Alive. Maybe check out Maiden's live album Live After Death, to get a good sample of their songs.

[@patrickhanff3888]

Das ist Heavy Metal und das was du fühlst wenn du Iron Maiden hörst das ist Magie!!!!

[@bobtedeman5975]

and the current lead singer has his pilot's license and has been flying the band's private jetliner for a decade. The first two albums had a different lead singer .... also awesome

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Iron Maiden what can you said that hasn't been said...they are in MY rock hall of fame all other halls can just....blank off......

[@chuckrowland8362]

Check out Seventh son of a seventh son album

[@Fierysaint1]

The 3 catchiest tune metal bands ever no question... Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden. Most famous bands have 1 to 3 catchy songs, but those three... have literally dozens just like that.

[@Prone2Thrill]

I can't wait for Ozzy and Randy to blow his mind - not to mention Judas Priest Victims of Change

[@mikeciboroski3849]

Iron Maiden and Metallica are the kings of changes in their music

[@osamaqtaitat]

Yeah, but i prefer maiden! Metallica cares about melody a lot in their first albums, and maybe just “The day that will never come” has that side, for me as i know! But i don’t know what happened to them later…..
