Nicko has gone through a lot this year.... a stroke, partial paralysis, extensive therapy to recover, and then hitting the road again while still recovering. Long may he continue! It's impossible to imagine Iron Maiden ever going on without him.

They are the reason I started playing bass at 14, on top of already having been a drummer/percussionist in the school band since 6th grade...Love Maiden Soo Much! UP THE IRONS!

This is from Chile; the footage from Dortmund is also a great, very different stage show as it was filmed on their tour in support of the album "Dance Of Death." You may be aware yet, Andrew, but Iron Maiden is coming to Auckland in 2024!

Maiden are modern-day composers. Absolutely brilliant. First heard them in the mid 80s and I still get goosebumps listening to them. Up the irons

Maiden is great live, of course. But you should listen to the studio version of Where Eagles Dare (probably transcribed on Drumeo) It was the fan’s introduction to Nicko when he replaced Clive Burr. As the first track on Piece of Mind, it loudly said, “Hello, I’m Nicko, the new drummer. You’re gonna love me!”

@genegiusti6239

Definitely "Where Eagles Dare" please!!!!

Future Andrew really must invest in tickets to see Iron Maiden when they go to New Zealand! Trust me you won’t regret it!🤘

😂😂11m20ish sec "Irish-jig sounding" ... my brain went to the "Darby O'Gill & the Little People" cave scene! Thanks for that, just found you today reacting to Mike Potney doing Pneuma... always Love drummer's, I miss playing! Thanks for doing what you do, only 3 videos in and Loving your input😁

11:24 they do incorporate some Celtic Folk elements in their more modern tracks. I think Janick may have brought that influence to their music, I don’t recall much, if any, Celtic influence before Janick joined, and he wrote Dance Of Death too. And then of course there’s The Clansman (which you’ve already reacted to) and Death Of The Celts, which are both very much Celtic all the way through, not just musically but lyrically too.

You're right. Janick is the one who brought a lot of those elements to the band and wrote the songs that have that vibe in them; I love Janick!

@tay13666

Totally on the nose. Janick loves that stuff. Just look at the way he does his own jig while playing it. And the crowd eats it up! Some of the purists turn their nose up at Janick's playing. But the dude can shred, and he is really entertaining. I always set up on his side of the stage when I am up close for a show. It's just more fun over there. Plus he comes up to the front of the stage and interacts a lot with the people there.

Steve Harris was once asked to name the drummer for his ultimate dream band. He said Nicko.

Best live band ever! 🤩

Spot on about no click track. Most of the guys don't even wear in-ears, just regular earplugs. And yeah, they sometimes play too fast, but that is just because they get so pumped from the crowds. And as you said, it is a good thing. It's organic. It adds to the excitement of the show.

É uma obra de arte essa música, reação ímpar, viva o rock.

Check out Empire of the clouds. No live performace so have to go with the studio version. An absolute master piece.

This song's DNA is based very firmly in the poem of Rabbie Burns - Tam O'Shanter... a tale of a drunk that catch's sight of a witches Covent and is then chased by said witches. He escapes by jumping over a fallen down bridge... at which moment the witches almost have Tam and manage to pull off the horses tail. This song is 100% a modern, Maiden equivalent. This is also why the "Irish" jig style music is in there, the Traditional Scottish folk music that would accompany such a tale as Tam O'Shanter. One of Maiden's all time greats.

Spot on reaction and opinion of Maiden 🤘 I had the honor of seeing them live with Judas in the 80s, and a number of times after. Keep them coming ❤

Maiden are masters of dynamics. Truly superb!

All Maiden shows are a miracle

They do this for two and a half hours... then go back to their hotel for a herbal tea and bed because they're doing it again tomorrow night... and the singer has to fly the plane...

"Hey Steve, should we do an Irish Jig for this album?" "Yeah mate, it's called Dance of Death." "Right-o, cheers."

Hi Andrew. I am really glad you have found iron maiden. Such a iconic band. Please could you check out PowerSlave live from the live after death concerts. Back in 1985. I believe this is Iron Maiden at the peak live. Especially Nico. Just phenomenal.

Iron Maiden are due to pass through Australia/New Zealand, later in 2024. Get yourself a Ticket.

Steve Harris' bass tech Michael Kenney playing keyboards behind the curtains

Maiden is 1.9.24-13.9.24 in Australia and 16.09.24 in Auckland. Get a ticket and show them live. It‘s worth. In my eyes Maidens best Tour (I was on 12 different tours live). Nicko is good recoverd from his stroke in January. Saw him in Juli in Munic.

They're going to New Zealand next year, I heard! By the way, the "like Vincent Price horror intro" is a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, just doesn't say here ", Horatio"... 😉

Andrew, you really need to see Sign Of The Cross Rock in Rio 2001. That is a very theatrical song and has very good solos too!

AND NICK MCBRAIN STILL NAILED IT CONTINUING THE TOUR, PERFORMING TOP LEVEL AT THE INDIO CALIFORNIA FESTIVAL, THE DEDICATION IS JUST ON ANOTHER LEVEL, UP THE IRONS, TIME IS PASSING AND THERE WILL BE A MOMENT WHERE IRON MAIDEN WON’T BE ABLE TO CONTINUE 😭 BUT WELL, EVERYTHING HAS IT’S TIME😢, BUT ANYWAYS, ENJOY THE MUSIC, ‘CAUSE AS BRUCE SAID IN THAT 2011 CONCERT ANY FAN THAT LOVES IRON MAIDEN IS PART OF IRON MAIDEN, SO AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE LEGACY ALIVE, IRON MAIDEN WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON❤❤❤💪

They just announced they’re coming back to the States next year. Planning on taking my Son so he can experience them live for the first time.

They always make me think of Spinal Tap.

Hi, Andrew! That was super cool! That crowd! WOW. I guess if you're a Maiden fan you are for life. Your Jack Black reference was excellent and totally applicable, very reminiscent. School Of Rock is still one of my favorites.

@AndrewRooneyDrums

Yes! Jack Black was so fun and respectful in the role. Captured the fan experience

Yeah, Iron Maiden is SUCH a live band. Nicko listens to Steve's bass and all of the guitars. He's always been such a "responsive" drummer, even in the early days (the early 80s =), following Steve's aweome bass rhythm and the basic rhythm of all the guitars. Since Bruce and Adrian re-joined in late 1998 (iirc) the whole band has just come together more and more with every album, even though they've naturally had individual struggles and what-not (ffs it's been 25 years and they've made awesome album after awesome album) and the last few albums have been that they just share their songs with eachother and then they come together in the studio and main-take the recordings simultaneously and then there are fine-tunings and extras recorded.

I boldly predict there will never be such a band ever again in living memory, unless people start appreciating them more for what they are =) There certainly won't be a similar band in the next 30 years, there simply ISN'T the environment for an actual instrument-playing band to gain the live experience of nearly 40 years of playing gigantic stadium audiences on tour and honing their craft to this level. Please remember i'm saying this with sadness, also remember i hope i get to see THIS band live for many years to come =) Nicko is 71 years old, he's had a stroke but he's 90-95 percent back, so i SINCERELY hope i get to see Maiden live at least once more! My confidence is about 99%! Up the FUCKING Irons!

Saw Maiden when I was about 15...I'm now 56 and saw them again, in July. My head was blown! They're as good now, as they were in the '80s. I know that Nicko's drumming isn't as technical, as it was before his stroke...but he's still a super solid backbone for the band.

Loved the video, subbed for more Iron Maiden reactions!

I was there!! and will be there again 2 times on 2024!! my 7th en 8th time seeing them live here in Chile. I love them, i really do. Up the Irons!!!

NOTHING will ever beat maiden!

Nicko in another live video of this does the jig in the beginning. At his restaurant he has a full kit and will play maiden videos were the drum track removed, he plays perfect. They also rehearse 2 months every year b4 touring.

The one from Dortmund, from its original tour, is the best performance of this song...never got the fuss about the En Vivo version

First solo: Adrian Smith. Second solo: Dave Murray. Third solo: Janick Gers

What a crowd! Fun performance too.

Iron Maiden has literally made me dive into different aspects of history through the story telling of some of their songs. Passchendaele being the main one, WWI Battle that NZ was actually a pivotal part of \m/

Por diossss!!!!... siiii.... Bruce es asi... no cortes mas por favor 😲

The first time that iron maiden play that song in Santiago was...a real dead one! Sorry for my bad english. (Im from Chile)

There's going to come a time when Iron Maiden stop touring....definitely going to see them again next year. Such an amazing band. 🤘🏻

Ya, Steve's Bass tech adds some synth parts from back stage.

you must check a drum cam style of Where Eagled Dare. And keep in mind, that song was the introduction of Nicko right as he joined the band.

Nicko is an absolute master of controlling the tempo in a natural fashion. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Great reaction and spot on Andrew they are all stars in their own right. I was singing this to myself earlier on today. The easiest way to sort the guitarists - Janick does the prancing and leg up on the amp/speaker, Dave the chunkier one and was the one that got patted on the head and does the interaction with Janick on most of the songs and Adrian is the one that stays around his part of the stage centre right looking outwards

Hey, Andrew! Dude! You HAVE to see Iron Maiden live =) I promise you, you NEED to!

There are indeed synths parts - not triggered but (until very recently when he retired after 40 odd years with the band) played live by Steve's bass tech, Michael Kenny

REACT TO IRON MAIDEN SONGS 'WHEN THE WILD WIND BLOWS,WHERE EAGLES DARE' LIVE

Grew up on Maiden, had my bedroom wallpapered with Eddie, when I took world history as a senior in HS, I already had Alexander the Great covered because of the song from Iron Maiden. Steve’s songs have a lot of references to actual historical figures, literature, etc. Iron Maiden is a history lesson to song.

Great reaction video Andrew, I live in the UK and have been lucky enough to see Maiden many times since their early days, you must see them if you get a chance the production is amazing and as a band they are so tight. I also totally get the Niko comment, if you play so well then the music just seems to flow over you? Keep it up and thank you. 🤩

Great maiden track

I’ve been a fan his the mid 80s one of the thing I’ve really respected about them is that when Guitarist Adrian Smith decided he wanted to come back after an almost 10 year hiatus, instead of ditching Janick Gers they decided to continue on as a 3 guitar band. Now I can’t imagine them without all 3. 🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼

You need to react to Hallowed be thy name by Iron Maiden next, but then react to Cradle of filth' version too

I agree about getting off the click. Humans don't walk or talk in perfect rhythm. Music(to my ears) sounds much more natural with no click dictating the pace and feel of the song.

Maiden played without "click" or inears (if i am right?). Bruce wear oropax, the other guys played with the monitor sound. Two weeks (?) ago, Bruce was in a radio morning show in NZL. He said that they always plays to fast and without a click.

you've done fear of the dark you might like them doing fear of the dark en vivo. there he is running asround the stage while he sings. on backstage with bruce pt 1 and 2 he talks of coming off the stage to drop his heartbeat down as being relaxed is better for singing. they wanted vincent price on number of the beast but he charged too much

The Talisman is a great live song.

Best live band around

❤❤❤❤

Really should do Where eagles dare live at ullevi. And the Talisman live en vivo

I looked and didn't see this song among the Iron Maiden ones you've reacted to, so I apologize if you have and I just didn't see it. This is well worth reacting to, Andrew. The fast outro jam after the Pink Floydian middle section is probably my favorite bit (if I was asked to choose) of Iron Maiden music. And that's saying something! Here's a link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaCLtNhxnM6dmqw.html

Someone needs to request Death of the Celts...

Andy. I think you've noticed that Maiden has 3 guitarists...or do they? If you watch Steve Harris (bassist), he plays a lot of chords as well. So 4 guitarists???? What do you think? Cheers from 🇨🇦.

I want to think that bands that don't use click tracks are better. I recall (I think it was) Adrian Smith being referred to as a human metronome. Practiced players don't need them (in my opinion).

awe best live version of this is from Death on the Road DVD/Blue ray. This one from en Vivo isn't as good to me.

just keep making iron madein classics, and after, what about Rush and Dream Theater? I recommend you Rush in Rio- YYZ !!!
