LOL!!! Maiden is extremely good at it, but if you can listen to metal from the 80's-90's and not notice it, you are not doing metal any justice. Metal is the counter-culture to the "barbie world, greed is good" illusion of the 80's-90's. Many see metal as a scene of hopelessness and despair, but it is exactly what slayer once said, "we put it in your face so you notice it and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT". Here is your problem, fix it!! Metal has more hope and desire for the world to be better than most other forms of music, and that's it's real power, to make you THINK.

I came back to rewatch this video months later after seeing a couple of the commentators say they think this was a negative reaction. This was anything but a negative reaction - certainly, it brought out the philosophical side in George and Ryan, and they definitely seemed to appreciate the poetry, skill, musicianship, songwriting, and artistry that went into the song, and found the whole to be beautiful, with the worst they could say about it being that it might be a bit dated, the subject matter not being not being to their taste at the time, and the song being something that might have to grow on them. I didn't realize it until I saw the reaction the first time, but Harris' lyrics, whether the song was contrived that way or not (I suspect not), actually do an excellent job of conveying the false courage and then all of the stages of grief the story's character would go through in the hours before death - you see elements of shock and panic, denial, anger, bargaining/reasoning, and depression in the way the character's words contradict what was said before, before settling on acceptance, before the character's life flashes before his eyes during the solos leading up to the death at the End.... Obviously, this reaction was early in their metal reactions career, and they'd basically reacted to only a limited selection of thrash before this, so I wonder if George and Ryan would be willing to come back and react to this song again some day, now that they've seen a wider range of metal, and have had the new perspective of some time and distance to re-review the song with?

Ive been a metal head since i was 11,brothers embrace it
I’m a metal head to the max and I am really enjoying your videos and interpretation of the music. Great stuff guys! It’s so bad ass to observe you guys hearing these songs for the first time. This song in particular means so much to me and even though I’ve heard it 1,000+ times it still gives me chills. Was very sad to hear they did not write the original song and were actually sued over it, but maiden owned this song period and no one could do it like them! Irons up!
ive listened to metal for years and never really fully appreciated the lyrics. you guys have opened up a whole new world to me.
It's so funny that you guys stopped the video to talk about how you were picturing him yelling to the Heavens right before the part in the song where he yells to the heavens. Keep up the good work. These videos make my day because of how genuine the reactions are.
you guys' interpretation of the meaning of these metal songs is very impressive! and your understanding of the arrangements and chord progressions for complete rookies is so much fun to listen to. You guys are on point with a lot of this stuff. Keep making videos! Maiden is the ultimate metal band at creating mood and feeling.
I’ve been listening to this song since I was 7. One of the best I’ve ever heard
The thing i love about your channel is that despite me already loving all these classic metal songs, you make me think about the song on a whole other level.

Maiden has been considered as the "thinking man's band". Not as intricate as a Megadeth, not as heavy as Slayer, Not as flashy as Judas Priest... but if you know history, and/or read some of the classics, Maiden will resonate with you.

To be honest, that sounds more like a band that requires a highly specific chunk of knowledge to be able to appreciate (similar to how some rappers require a highly specific chunk of knowledge to be able to appreciate). You can lack a highly specific chunk of knowledge and still qualify as a "thinking man", just saying. I'm sure you didn't mean your comment that way, but I just wanted to say this for the benefit of some of the readers who might be misunderstanding.

I believe that by stating that a knowledge of history and reading the classics actually qualifies as a "specific chunk of knowledge". Maiden isn't incident specific, or tied to a certain location. History, movies, books television- all things that will, to get the full experience, require you to delve deeper into than just a quick google search, or a dust jacket review. So, I say, bring on the misunderstandings! Bring them on, but be prepared to do the research.

Love your reaction to one of the greatest Maiden songs. I’ve listened to them since 1982, and are still blown away by the quality of their writing. You should see them live. They are phenomenal.
Iron Maiden have been around since 1975. They have 16 studio albums and performed something like 2200 Live shows. and have one of the most loyal fan bases you will ever see. The singer Bruce Dickinson is a Man of many talents and even flies the band around the world in their Iron Maiden branded plane. The bands lyrics vary. older songs are about history and war to name some lyrics.

Grigori Rasputin correct but they have been a band since 1975 look it up.
This is classic Iron Maiden. What I love about them is exactly what you guys pointed out, their lyrics & music really drag you into the song like you're there living it. You also nailed the theatrical nature of the band, watch some live videos (or better yet, see them live) and you'll be blown away, I guarantee it.

Absolutely, Theatrics is the name of the game and they are the best in that regard.
Wish you guys would give more love to the bassist. They play such an important role that might not be noticeable to non native listeners, but if you took it away you would hear a tremendous significant difference. Steve Harris is an amazing bass player. Maybe try some metal songs with a heavier bass, For whom the bell tolls or Peace sells would be easy listening:)

Sitting here on Christmas day watching this reactions video. This is my 9th reaction video from these guys in the last hour. It just showed up on the front You Tube page and I thought I got a few min, let me just watch this one. Now I have just spent over an hour watching these guys. Time NOT wasted. I really like the fact that they take the time to analyze the lyrics and the music and comment on it. Most other Reaction videos are just, yeh, that was great. Iron Maiden have some of the best and informative lyrics. Alexander the Great ( history lesson in a song ), loneliness of the long distance runner (based on a book) Run To The Hills, Plight of the Native Indians. Too many others to comment on. Merry Christmas Everyone.
U guy;s are awesome..As a metal fan for my whole life, u guy's made me rethink the lyrics..love u !!
You guys have a new subscriber. This is badass videos. Thank you from a 40year old metalhead
I am just FREAKING OUT by this reaction!! This was beautiful, and I am a maniac over IRON MAIDEN but I am just blown away by the way you guys went off on such a beautiful path that in the first month of 2021 where most are all so terrified of " Worse Case Scenarios" and living in a fear fuel chaos. This isn't a new post, but it's just a huge deal right now, but it's not easy to get people to listen and live as much in the moment gratefully as possible. We as humans can reflect and have deep conversation about the fact that we don't have any control over the fact that we only have one thing that's a GARANTEE in life, and it is we will Die. Instead it is very hard not to live in fear and be devastated by the death of the people we love and are a part of us. Possibly it's loss, but I think it is because it is not controlable for any human no matter who you are, money you have, walls you build around you and your loved ones we have to move on from this life. I was already a huge fan of yours, but I am so finished after this awesome reaction. It is very terrifying not to know what is going to happen, but I am just so happy to see you two discussing this with all of us. 2021 is a very unsure time for all of this world, and being unsure of the future is a global reality.
I didn't expect that your reaction took so much attention to the lyrics as the music itself is a piece of art, but I'm glad you did it because I think they were written for each other, and yes this is the kind of words that relate us all in an universal way. A cuban song writer which I respect a lot once wrote a phrase that said "El dia del armagedon no quiero estar tras la puerta, sino soñando bien alerta donde este a salvo del perdon" which is something like "On the armagedon´s day I don´t want to be hiding behind the door, but dreaming aware where I am safe from forgiveness" and that is what this song is about for me, and I´m glad you guys discussed it, above all for younger generations and kids who are getting involved into metal, I listen to Maiden since I was 13, now I´m a 47 year old guy who beated cancer and faced death, and one of the things I asked my wife to bring to my room once I finally got out of intensive care was my Maiden´s cds. Up the Irons!

I remember even at 11 years old thinking that Maiden had hit their high point. Still love them but Seventh Son was the zenith. There's plenty of quality after but Seventh Son was a perfection from start to finish that they have never since achieved. What a truly great record, under appreciated.
When I see someone have a brand new reaction to something that I've known and loved for years, it somehow makes me feel like a proud papa. I think it's the good ol' "I know, right?" feeling boiling up. Hope I'm not the only one that thinks that way.

My first exposure to Maiden was when I borrowed my brother's Somewhere In Time tape, then I went out and bought Seventh Son... I must have played that tape a thousand times.

Great reaction guys. Iron Maiden is one of my favorite bands. The vocals and lyrics have always been a reason I put them towards the top of my list of favorite metal bands.
for me "hallowed be thy name" at the end of the song, and in it's full ironic intonation, is a song of pure fury in a moment of solitary fate. My favorite maiden song and a pure European power metal song.
I LOVE this song. I'm a huge Maiden fan and it took almost 20 years for me to love this song. You guys are incredible. Thank you for being here.
Love Iron Maiden! In high school I was on home detention (don't judge me) and I couldn't go to the concert when they came to KC. A friend of mine went to the concert with her boyfriend telling her mom she was at my place babysitting with me. She asked me to cover if her mom called. I said sure...but you have to call me from a payphone as close to the stage as you can find and let me hear them live over the phone. She did it!!! It was great!!!!
I know why, but Maiden has always been my favorite band. “Dated” is absolutely true, which plays into why they’re my favorites. I’m a metal head white boy that grew up in the butt crack of Texas in the mid eighties, who married a black woman. I’ve tried and tried to show her the magic of Maiden and she just doesn’t get it. I love what you guys did with this. You put more thought into the tune than I ever did. You just got a new sub. 👍🏻

I think you're kinda jumping in the deep end with this one. This is definitely not the music you want to start out with for someone who's not much into "rock". I grew up on mainly hip hop/rap and r&b. I didn't listen to anything really that would fall under the rock category. I started with the bad stuff on the radio and worked my way up :) Start out with easily accessible stuff and maybe she will eventually grow to like Iron Maiden.

Dudes! Excellent job on the analysis. I've always liked your feedback...seriously, you increase the value to the listener of every song you do this with, it's rock, so, most of the time it's going to be all about the vocals, music, instrumentation and tone. But this time you are both tour guides on descending trip of existential angst that's starting to let go and give way to utter despair. I was a HUGE fan of Harris and learned the bass parts, note for note, to three entire albums literally changing my teenage hands into the hands of a serious man, but this was the most I've ever gotten out of this song. Thanks again!
