@@nox5555 To call it Heavy Metal is just indisputable. This sound is the pure definition of Heavy Metal/A new wave of British Heavy Metal. With Judas Priest they pretty much invented this genre of music. Just because there are heavier types of metal doesn't change the labeled category something is in or not. It's a reason why heavier, faster German-based Heavy Metal (originally defined as A New Wave of German Heavy Metal) became known as Power Metal. Etc. when it spread outside of German Heavy Metal bands. There are countless of categories, and they all have defenitions. If you think something sound heavier than Iron Maiden, it's probably Trash, Speed, etc. - a different label. You can't say it's not Heavy Metal anymore, like the bloke in the vid. says as that makes no sense when it comes to set categories of music. It's not meant to be literal, just to be a label so a specific category/genre can be recognized by a label.

Absolutely. I fully agree. 👍 To me, "Iron Maiden" belong into the same line musically as timeless classic composers (e.g. Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi), Queen and AC/DC. All of them created timeless masterpieces of music. Whether one prefers their style of music personally or not. Personally I don't like AC/DC that much, but they are undoubtably masters of their craft. You have to acknowledge genius when you experience it. 🙂

In 1988, my 9th grade English teacher played this for us at my private Catholic school. That was my introduction to Iron Maiden. Thank you Mrs. Colosurdo!

Similar here. I had a music teacher in 10th grade in 1984 who'd use 'Running Free' as an example how rock/metal used archaic tribal music elements. He did so by directly comparing the pushing drums of 'Running Free' with drums played by native North Americans. I knew Iron Maiden before that but the parallels were amazing. Well done, Mr. Messmer.

This show, Rock In Rio and Hammersmith are amongst the greatest Metal Events ever. Up The Irons 😈🎤🤘🎸🔱🥁

the greatest rock band ever. You Brits are lucky to have them!

This is always regarded as one of the best songs recorded in metal history.

I saw them play this on it's original tour in 1984. Blew my mind. 37 freaking years ago!

Vincent Price did the voice over and famous laugh in Thriller, but he also did the opening spoken "Woe to you, O Earth, and Sea..." bit in The Number of the Beast. As far as I'm aware, it's Bruce who recorded the voice of the Mariner.

The song is from the 1984 album Powerslave. How ever they rarely play it. World slavery tour of -84 might have been one of few actions were they’d played it and then of course -08! Maybe somewhere in time tour -86. It is truly epic.

The band wanted the horror film actor Vincent Price to read this intro, but he wanted more money than they were willing to pay (a year later, Price lent his voice to Michael Jackson's "Thriller"). The quote was read by an unknown thespian actor who had no interest in the band." this comes from Songfacts.

Vincent Price was the narrator in Thriller. In this song it was Sir Michael Redgrave.

This is definitely one of Maiden's top 5 live performances Especially the last section. It's all about the build up to the burst of energy at the end (I tried not to make that sound rude, I failed! Haha!!). Adrian's solo just taking things to another level all together. Regarding the narrator for the middle section. No one actually knows who it is! It ISN'T Bruce. They hired a professional voice over artist but no one seems to know who it was! They tried to get someone called 'Ralph Richardson' but he was unavailable. It could possibly be a guy called Barry Clayton (Narrator for Count Duckula), who did the intro to 'Number of the Beast'. Unfortunately he died recently, so can never be asked.

greatest metal band ever Classic metal Up the Irons!

Great reaction, enjoy your channel so much! Up the Irons from Canada!

10:20 is the voice of Bruce Dickinson recorded in the studio.

Flight 666 is a great dvd with all the band members input and seeing Dickinson as a pilot flying their tour plane Ed Force One then perform at shows. I saw it at the airport in Vegas for a show as I flew in and the airport was electric filled with fans. Looking forward to see them live again in 2022 hopefully. Up The Irons

Los Dioses del Heavy Metal y se acabó. "El fantasma de la Opera" en 1980?, aquí venimos nosotros y permiso!!!.. Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱

What an Amazing Group/ Amazing Ride & Story. Fucking EPIC. 🍻

I think the narration is an excerpt from a spoken word film of the poem by Orson Wells from 1977.

I'm pretty sure the narrated part is Richard Burton. I'm sure I remember reading it somewhere around the time the album came out and he narrated the entire poem for the BBC in the sixties so presumably that is what they used.

Definitly agree with the smartphones, what a pain live! To see a great crowd with none of these things in the air, dive back into Gojira - Pray live at Polandrock festival

The IZOD ARENA was located across the street from the old Giants Stadium and the new MetLife Stadium where the NY Giants and NY Jets currently play NFL football. It's in East Rutherford in Meadowlands Sports Complex. The area where the video was filmed had many different names over the years. In the 1980s in was known as Brendan Byrne Arena, and the Continental Airlines Arena in the 1990s. The IZOD ARENA no longer exists, it closed down in 2015.

Nice to see Ben Stokes and Andy Hamilton reacting to Iron Maiden...😄

Thriller was Vincent Price I think

The voice in Mickael Jackson's Thriller is Vincent Price

I agree completely with the people who film everything. I'm more of the take one or two photos just to kinda document I was there(whether a concert, sporting event, tourist attraction, etc.) usually before it even starts and I'm just waiting. After that, its time to just enjoy the show.

Maiden never plays more than a 2-hour set and hasn't for decades, so I have no idea where you're getting 3-4 hour set stuff from. Totally untrue. I've seen them headline about 18 times since 1982. Hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours every time. The primary reason they keep it to 2 hours is to maintain Bruce's voice. And the strategy has worked. You heard how damn good he sounded at the 2019 show at age 61, right?...Also, not sure where you are getting the haven't played New England in 28 years info either. Go check the tour schedules over the years. I saw them in CT in 2006 (opening night of AMOLAD world tour).
