The whole Maiden album Somewhere in Time is great. This is a great song too.

Iron Maiden are the philosophers of metal music. Their work is based on history, philosophy, poetry, or human nature. Some people find it boring because it generally lacks the shredding most people expect....but.... there is a reason they are the tip of the metal pyramid of greatness.

That's one way to put it

Steve Harris writes most of their lyrics he's incredible.

The solo was meant to tell the story of various stages in Alexander's life. From his rise to power, his struggle, his victory, and his downfall.

Gotta say you are a beautiful couple, and it’s a pleasure to be on your musical journey with you. Iron Maiden are a brilliant band. Check out some Ronnie James Dio, especially Don’t Talk to Strangers and/or Hungry For Heaven. All the best to you both.

'Caught Somewhere in time' from the same album is the best track. The studio version is amazing, Iron Maiden at their peak.

Really loving to see these iron maiden react videos!!!! Greetings from Brazil!

Your reactions seem pretty genuine. Hope you guys get big.

Hi Kel and Rich. I Have been watching your'e great reaction vid's for a few mounts really great work, and a lovely couple.

Love your videos, many thanks!

Mainly composer of the band is bassist and founder/leader Steve Harris. In this particular album they introduced synth guitars and synths .First album i heard when i was 12 and 30 years later still is my desert island album... Somewhere In time god bless Maiden As Greek this song means a lot in many many ways and its one of the few songs that they have never played it live anywhere in the world If i can suggest more Maiden songs...Somewhere in time (obviously), Infinite dreams, To Tame a land, where the wild wind blows and The Prisoner...basically any Maiden song is great hehehe...and definately check live versions ...best live band in the world hands down... And if that helps compared to Hallowed be thy name video ( which i saw before this) the music was lowered in this one ....voice tracks was the same...hope that helps...and dont mind us ...its reaction video...if u wanna scream...scream :) Keep it up guys...found your channel yesterday...subscribed...and spamming :)

Everything you need to know about Iron Maiden is onstage! They are one of those rare bands, were often the live performance is as good or better than the studio recording. I'm no rabid fan, but it's obvious when you watch their LIVE video's. If you react to any, I would go with your followers recommendations. Love your "shits & giggles," keep em coming. *\m/* _PS- I won't bore you with my own faves, you get enough suggestions. I suspect they will get covered at some point. You're cranking them out fast, don't get burned out._

Check out Iron Maiden - "Where Eagles Dare" or "To Tame a Land"... Great reaction Kel-n-Rich. Please keep 'em coming.

I genuinely am considering if this is the greatest song they ever recorded. The changes in tempo, Bruce's octave leaps, the absolutely premium bass from Steve...It's right up there. God knows I hope we get to hear it live eventually!

When it's a technical song with loads of changes like this I just can't get enough of your facial expressions of shear joy. Just makes me smile all the time.

Your reactions are never disappointing. Another great Iron Maiden song

Love watching ur reactions, another great one...

Maiden are the reason that, at 57 years of age, my hair still hangs half way down my back, I still have seven guitars, effects, a PA and a Marshall valve stack in the house, in the hope that some day soon a metal band will reach out for a lead guitarist and vocalist, so I can go back on stage again after 15 years, the way Maiden persuaded me to play my own songs live in front of an audience when I was 18. And I'm not sorry to say that I love doing a chugging galloping riff a la Maiden. It's not stealing if you learn from the best: it's homage. At every one of countless gigs I did in The Uninvited, and live on Capital Radio in the UK, I never failed to acknowledge my debt to Iron Maiden. Up The Irons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging by some of the reactions, we can say that Maiden definitely gave us all some orgasmic feeling. My favorite band for 25 years now and this song is a masterpiece.

If I knew Alexander the Great had that effect on the Ladies, I'd of been playing that on a date years ago😉

I love your complicity. you are two soul mates

I'd forgotten about this song but it's really great. I'm on a recommendation rabbit hole and these are cool af

Along with Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner and Nomad, this is my favourite Iron Maiden song. Saw the lads for the first time back in 1980 at the Reading Rock Festival in England (I'm from Belgium). Bass player Steve Harris writes most of the music and lyrics. A live version to check is The Clansman performed at Rock in Rio. Cheers.

i watch this reaction a few times. i love maiden since the early 80s

This is definitely one of their BEST songs they have ever had. They keep their metal roots and give you a bit of history in the process.

Just discovered your channel, and I don't know where you live, but North America seems like a pretty good guess. Iron Maiden is going on a North American tour this summer, and given how much you seem to be enjoying them, I _highly_ recommend you check them out live. Their live show is second-to-none, and really will blow you away. I'm going to see 'em in August and the date can't get here fast enough. So if you have the opportunity, check on their website and see if they are playing near you, and if so, do it. You'll have a great time, I promise.

Not 4 paragraphs... I haven't had coffee yet! That's when you have to watch out for my crazy rambling! But I love this channel, big Maiden fan and you guys have natural presence and charisma. I often watch -or rewatch with my girlfriend, it's 7am in UK here and only I'm up. Just wanted to say thank you for a great channel 👍🤘 PS: And I just saw more Maiden vids, woohoo!

Awesome congratulations

Great band , great song and great reactions. I can recomanded Paschendale, emontional war story, Revelations 'bout existance and When The Wild Wind Blows 'bout vision of catastrophe.

Kel needs to hear "Hall of the Mountain King" by Savatage.

Another awesome reaction. I love the way when the harmonys come in we see the expressions on your faces and the love for the riff comes through.... Simply awesome! 😎👌 ....May I recommend by Iron maiden... The Thin line between love and hate.... It is a awesome music journey in 1 song ❤😌👌

I counted her having three gasms, several minis during the solos then one last mind blowing relaxing one followed with a sigh of relief at the end. Lmao!! It's ok kids,, those songs did the same for us 30 years ago when WE first heard them. 😎

No live versions yet? Oh no no no..... that is a crime. "Live After Death" had me hooked on Maiden instantly. It's an amazing concert video.

FINALLY! I've seen so many first reactions for the same Iron Maiden and this is the one I've been waiting for. Thank you. You should also checkout King Diamond "Them"

In my opinion this was the best lineup for iron maiden. And somewhere in time was a very under rated album. Love your channel too

Please keep the Maiden going, piece of mind album - "still life" please try !

This guitar solo from Dave and Adrien are mind numbing it hits your soul so so deliciously awesome 😎🎸

As I stated in one of your other Iron Maiden reacts, THE masters of transition.

One of my all time favorite songs.

My favorite Maiden song. Thank you

Have a great time at the Maiden concert I've seen them over 20 times amazing amazing shows they put on the absolute best light and Stage Show you'll ever see

7th Son of a 7th Son...one of the best (if I even dare to rank any Maiden's song)

Love this! ⚡️🤘🏻🎸 Maiden forever

I can’t wait to see your Phantom of the opera reaction!

I love you guys

My history teacher in high school(years ago)started talking about Alex the Great in class. I let him listen to this song on casette during class and he became a Maiden fan that day. 🤘🙂🤘

Pretty cool to watch. I remember when I bought this LP (yeah LP) the first day I could get it at the record shop and listened to this song first.. Since I was such a fan of History, this particular song really knocked me down... I thought the song was winding down when all of a sudden....'A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'' I was jumping around my room. Fun to watch the reaction when the song kicks in again. Such a long song, so smooth. One of my favorites

I saw them live a lot of times....I only wish, that they will play Alexander live and I will be there, no matter what!

Fear of the dark live video in Reno unbelievable live performance!

Hey guys :) great reaction to another legendary track..

When I first started playing bass(1983), I was a die-hard Maiden fan.This is from the last Maiden album I bought ( though I have caught up on Spotify). I love the first 5 albums still the best. By the end of the 80s my playing had me moving on to funk,blues and jazz((though my love of progressive music is still my #1). For me, no matter what genre, you either like a song, or not. There are no guilty pleasures. I may listen to Tears For Fears in the morning, Rush at noon, Gojira at the gym, and Dwight Yoakam that evening....or Porcupine Tree, or Riverside, or Anathema (another gem of a band...they write BEAUTIFUL prog songs despite the name), or The Police.....

Up the Irons...just react to all their songs....they are all amazing!!!

thx good pick❤❤💀❤❤ - - keep Maiden, sometimes is good talk about lyrics😉

I'm loving it. Think it is fantastic that a couple can dig on maiden and each other. Wife and I have been doing it for 30 years. Have they done flight? UP THE IRONS👊

In my opinion, you can talk as much as you want over the music. It's a reaction after all. For your next Maiden reaction, I'd suggest Dance of Death, as it's a completely different sounding song to the others you've done. One other thing, you've previously said that you wouldn't do any "cookie monster" stuff. I'm not the biggest fan of that stuff either, but I implore you to check out the song Under the Red Cloud from Amorphis just as an experiment. The band combines melodic music and great singer who does exceptional clean singing, which he occasionally accentuates with growls. His performances have really sold me on growling as a spice that, when used sparingly, can really improve a song.

Love it!

Steve Harris, the bassist reads most of the lyrics and music.

Kel n Rich .. we love your responses, but UP THE IRONS!! .. sometimes we can barely hear the music even with headphones on .. it's heavy freak'n metal .. cheers to your song choices and reactions .. keep up the good work!

Hey guys! Hope all is well and hadn't come upon this reaction. If you check out the Maiden library you'll see Steve Harris has written/co-written a TON of their songs. IMO, Maiden is the premiere progressive metal band ever … but that's just my two cents. Like you said, when you listen to the songs you're either on a journey or a history lesson … I love it \m/\m/. Love you guys!

GREAT STUFF!!! NOW "TO TAME A LAND"!!! GREETZ

love that u appreciate maiden, and i agree this is a history lesson. i have actually used this knowledge a couple of times, hehe...

You know you've found your PERFECT mate when both of you can sit and get lost in music. Good for you guys. Try looking at the live version of "The Rhythm of the Ancient Mariner"... 2008 I believe! Enjoy.

Iron Maiden is coming to the US this summer. Do not miss them live, even if you have to get the lawn seats. They put on the best live shows.

Definitely please check out King Diamond. His operatic metal voice might give you both some extreme interest.

"Aces High"! Fantastic Maiden song!

Stranger in a strange land official video please

rock on guys ! by the way nice neckalce brother

love seeing when you guys get into the music. Recommend Unleash the Archers ... Awakening(full band play through) watch the video with it , you dont have to display it for us but you will want to see what each of the members is doing ;)

Iron Maiden not only gives you awesome music, you get a history lesson in almost every song.

My favorite Iron Maiden's album and art cover ever.

In my opinion, their best song of all time is Flash Of The Blade from their Powerslave album. Please do this song. Also, fyi, NOBODY that I can find on youtube has reacted to it yet. Up The Irons!

'Rime of the Ancient Mariner', 'Alexander the Great' and 'To Tame a Land' go pretty well together in my opinion. I like you guys and enjoy your reactions! I kindly advise you to consider turning up the volume of the music a bit so that it's equal with your voices. When I hike the volume up for the song your speaking is loud so that my kitters jump! :) I would like to see you guys react to 'Sea of Madness' and 'Stranger in a Strange Land' from 'Somewhere In Time'! Blessings and Up the Irons!!

IRON MAIDEN is in a category all of their own, their contribution to music , is why they are legends in their own time, one of the most respected bands on the globe.

Rainbow Stargazer ( Dio singing ) Black Sabbath ( Dio singing) Dio don't talk to strangers. You wont be dissapointed

They write there own music, up the irons. If the want an album to listen to try powerslave album

Please, try with "Wasted years" by IM back to 1986 too.

Perfect lyrics 🤘🎶🎸☮️

I have this vinyl, is awesome the sound ...

Best song on Somewhere In Time, an album full of great songs IMO. My fourth favourite Maiden album after Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Piece of Mind.
