Vocal Coach REACTS - Iron Maiden 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'

How did I miss this? Iron Maiden' s Bruce Dickinson has vocal cords of titanium in this vintage recording. Incredible lung capacity as he holds notes longer than most modern pop songs.
Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. The band's discography has grown to 40 albums, including 16 studio albums, 13 live albums, four EPs, and seven compilations.

I was in the military couple of years ago, sometimes they made us train "static", basically means you just stand at attention for X amount of time. Everybody hated it, I liked it, since I was just playing some Iron Maiden songs in my head. That was also a good way to keep track of time, since, obviously, I knew how long given song is.

[@Dragonblaster1]

I do believe he may form an interest in the genre now. I started out as a lead soprano in my school choir until my voice broke. The next time I was moved to sing on stage in public was after seeing Iron Maiden live had enthused me to start my own metal band, The Uninvited (not to be confused with the American metal band of the same name, of whom we'd never heard, and this was before the World Wide Web). The band lasted a fantastically enjoyable eleven years. And I still love metal above all other musical genres, Iron Maiden above all other metal bands, and Hallowed Be Thy Name above all other metal songs, closely followed by Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Flight of Icarus and Alexander the Great (which they've never played live AFAIK).

I will never forget one evening when I was drinking with my buddies. We lived in a small town where there was not much to do, especially on a week day, so we were literally hanging out in front of a store drinking beer. When we got pretty warmed up my buddy started singing Hallowed be thy name. All three of us sang the whole thing from start to finish, a cappella, with all the guitars and everything. We can't sing for shit, but it sounded sublime to us. And it's one of my favorite memories from high school days. Damn I wish I had just one more week in my teens!

As a guy that's been listening to Maiden for 35 years, it's always awesome to see someone's first reaction to it. Every member of that band is a finely tuned machine perfected for around 50 years of playing together. Watching my own kids reaction to it was incredible. When it's possible, you should really get out to a live concert. Bruce Dickinson still has all the energy of a cocaine riddled 18 year old somehow. But a live Maiden show is definitely life changing. It gives you some perspective on the band to listen to the first 6 albums of their discography.. Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Live after Death.. In those albums you can physically hear the evolution of the band. From a talented pub band that started out playing punkish rock n roll in the first album with Paul Di'anno on vocals , to really they're commitment to being a metal band in the second album, then they fire Di'anno before the 3rd album and bring Bruce Dickinson on and the whole thing explodes, and the talent starts to get better and better.. It's like listening to the Lord of the Rings trilogy spread out over 6 albums.

Bruce Dickinson being in the pantheon of metal vocal heroes is an understatement. The man is a founding member and reigning god of the metal vocal pantheon. Even after throat cancer damage. As for Iron Maiden in general, one of the first heavy metal bands, doing this since the late 70s! Unarguably one of the most influential metal bands to ever grace a stage, always putting on a good show, respecting the fans, great lyrical content, display of technical mastery at what they do and some of the loudest and most attended live gigs on the face of this planet. Even among people who don't get into their music, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who knows what these guys are about and doesn't respect them. Absolute legends. UP THE IRONS!

This and Revelations will always be my favorite Bruce vocals. Along with all the rest! 😂 Please check out more!! And someone mentioned Stargazer by Rainbow with Dio. I second that one.

There is almost no crowd atmosphere quite like what it’s like to be a at Maiden gig when they play ‘Fear Of The Dark’. It’s spine tingling to be in a crowd of your fellow Maiden family all howling that together. It’s one of those moments that will stay for you forever. Much like seeing Nightwish play a ‘Ghost Live Score’ the first time. I’ll never forget it.

I got a bit cucked with my debut fotd performance. Some ice addict decided to punch up my area of the pit for half the song. Course bruce told him to get backstage so he could beat thd crap out of him so it was definitely memorable

[@draxlerchronicles5851]

Then imagine that they did 100+ gigs on a tour. That's BRUTAL for a vocalist!

What a sick drummer and bassist

[@jimspetdragons3737]

You picked the best recording of their best song. Yes, you missed out on a great band. This arrangement was the closest to the studio version as I've ever heard. You'll find out the tempo on most of their live songs gets unreal. I.M. has a long string of hit songs. Check out Some of these: Fear of the Dark, Wasted Years, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Number of the Beast, are among the beast (Note, early recordings have better vocals than more current ones). Also, check out the stage show too. Eddie lives!! lol.

Maiden definitely overdid it on the touring back in the day after 82. Bruce kinda reinvented himself tho after he left maiden tho. Lole from Balls to Picasso to book of souls, he sounded pretty much the same. Since the cancer his voice had gotten deeper, but we got to give him a break on that one!

[@timhendrix6867]

Agreed on the vocals on this track being the best.. Older age Bruce is still epic but you can see he has lost a few steps. His voice has held up better than most.

[@DenverStarkey]

i would argue his vocals oon this show were better than the studio version's , (a rare thing indeed) if i was IM i'd have remixed the studio tape using audio from this concert , for this song.

@Noah Sikorski he is 62 years old now.

[@twelveeighteenofficial7487]

@Noah Sikorski I saw them last year on the Legacy tour, and he sounded great IMO. He had more trouble on the Slavery tour back in '84, to be honest.

[@BilliamBillion]

9:35 Iron Maiden has always had impeccable live sound. Each time I've seen them the quality has only improved.

[@orbitsurvey9612]

NEXT SONG: Dream of Mirrors - live in Rio! Extremely underrated Maiden song. Bruce’s passion and vocals give me chills every time I watch it. Cheers

[@wynternight777]

Having one of the best bass players in the business makes those changeups easy. He really is the foundation of the band.

[@lindapellegrino1110]

He was then and is now a vocal monster. There is no comparison or substitution for this man or the band. They are tight, especially live!!!

[@aryansigrid]

Meanwhile, the rest of earth has known for over 35+ years that Bruce has the best Metal voice of all time! TY for your shock/geek out video!

[@steveopenshaw1219]

'Arry's bass is like another percussion instrument, it's just fucking awesome how hard he plays it.
