No joke I took my brother when he was 11 to a Maiden concert and he's loved them ever since. They're all amazing musicians.

What is awesome about Iron Maiden is that they teach you history, geography and literature through their songs, hell, they even have a song about English football on weekends (Weekend Warrior). Iron Maiden will always be one of the greatest bands in Metal genre. Up the Irons forever!

I f^cken love her reaction, I love these videos where I get a chance to experience peoples first time listening to the music that I've been Jammin to for 35+ yrs.

Your reactions are priceless! I love it. I see the passion flowing through your bodies as you rock out to these songs. I look forward to seeing you two experience more of these👍🏼 up the irons🤘🏼🤘🏼

These guys have never forgotten where they came from and love their fans

She would probably love Alexander the Great by Maiden, it's an epic song. Just like Mariner or maybe even To Tame a Land.

Why do people on youtube keep recommending this song..seriously? It has cool lyrics but they are forced and the song doesn't sound smooth at all, not good on the ears. There are at least 30 way more impressive maiden songs I can think of..

Poweslave was my first Iron Maiden. Concert when I was 22 years old.

I saw this live for the album Powerslave in Kansas City, MO 1984 - Twisted Sister was the opening act

Iron maiden= my favorite metal band. First porcupine tree now iron maiden? Looking forward to more great reactions

There's so much to Maiden's songs: the creaking of the yards around the 9:30 minute mark and the slow tempo while Bruce narrates is to let you FEEL the story. I could see the men sitting in what shade they could find on a still ocean. They're so technical and well thought out in the mechanics of their lyrics, the instrumentation and the course and layout of their songs. THAT's why so many young teens in the 80's were drawn to them. They were an intelligent band.

"Powerslave" is the ultimate embodiment of what would be the concept of true traditional 'classic heavy metal' from beginning to end. Perfect album in every way. And this great epic "Rime ..." is the pearl that closes this masterpiece!

Iron Maiden, good choice. They showed that metal can have a poem as a background am remain beeing metal.

This. Period.

My first concert ever: February 9, 1985. Just got my driver's license and drove to see Iron Maiden's World Slavery Tour in Greensboro with my younger brother and two buddies from the neighborhood. Absolutely incredible stage show. Steve Harris remains one of my favorite bassists because of his amazing speed and endurance in the right forearm/fingers (and his precision). The simple 3-note chord grouping slowdown in the middle puts you adrift in "the doldrums" near the equator with the Mariner. It's not just the notes, it's the unmistakable simultaneous bright melodic tone AND punch that Harris got from his bass. You play me a couple of bars from any Maiden song and I'll know it's them from his signature sound. That bass line and the imagery of the lyrics transport you to the ghost ship with the Mariner: no wind, just the sun beating down, the creaking mast and deck boards caught in the slow monotonous motion of the endless deep below, creating feelings of isolation and the specter of madness brought on by thirst, and despair, Then, just when it appears all hope is lost, salvation comes with the rain. Side note: Aces High is another absolute gem from this album, showcasing Harris's total mastery of the bass. Rime of the Ancient Mariner gave me a reason to pay attention in English class.

she needs to read the lyrics!

I have to say you you two make the best reaction videos I’ve seen so far, y’all keep up the good work.

We’ve done 300 in the last five weeks and that’s when we started. Thanks for stopping in. Later. Rich

One has to wonder about... if it were possible...to have Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky & Chopin in a room together listening to this for the 1st time. Technology aside. And of course been told beforehand...Ok, prepare to be shocked & mindblown...obviously...BUT beyond that, truly just listen to the song's movements, melodies, time changes, individual parts, emotion, the story...how the guitars are covering the violin & viola parts, etc. What would've they felt & thought about it? Would any of them have "got" it on some level? I realize it's a major fantasy stretch, but those gents were absolute masters of the musical craft & were pioneers of thinking "outside the box". As a musician myself, some part of me likes to think that at the very least one of them would have heard the beauty in this opus.

Great reaction, funny and from the heart. You seem to enjoy it! Plus, nice couple. 😍❤️ Now you have a new subscription from Medellín-Colombia.

love both your enthusiasm for music pleasure to watch and listen

This was the song that got me into Maiden. I love your reacts. You're so full of boundless energy and enthusiasm. That and joy. It makes me happy knowing you folks are out there. A counter to all this worlds negativity.

love Kels reaction this song is so brilliant and Rich you are so blessed with this beautifull lady greetz from Holland

Hi folks really enjoyed your reaction, they are doing a US tour this summer, get tickets, it's such an awesome show!

If you like Maiden's epic stuff I would definitely recommend Paschendale and Empire Of The Clouds.As a longstanding Maiden fan,it's great to see Kel's first time reactions to songs that have been such a big part of my life for so long.It seems that you're both on a mission. Keep up the great work.

This song is based on the famous poem by colldridge "the ryme of the ancient mariner" Maiden turned the poem into a classic track just love it. Great reaction Kel! 👍👍👍

Live version of Phantom Of The Opera ... either from "Early Days" concert in 2005 Gothenburg OR even from "Live After Death" back in 1985 (wasn't on cassette version, but from same show and on extended release). And of course, "Fear of the Dark" live from Rock in Rio. And finally anything from the live concert "En Vivo" which is incredible live video concert! Nice job guys, just found you today when saw my fav Iron Maiden song being reacted to, and just loved her reaction!!!

This came out when I was 14 and luckily I had a mom that was very understanding and took me to these concerts and listen to this stuff with me. Listening through a full Maiden album is a commitment you always feel like you went on a ride and you're wore out afterwards

Deja Vu from Iron Maiden, few people know but its the most underated song from the band, a hidden gem!

I need to respond to two of Kel's comments. 1. You don't normally see mosh pits when Maiden is on stage. The one time I saw one start up, at the end of the song, Dickinson angrily told them to knock it off because it was preventing those who want to watch the band and enjoy the show and the music from doing so, because they were being involuntarily knocked around and forced to move. 2. She mentioned feeling like she was on a rickety old ship. At on Maiden show I was at I was able to sneak down real close to the stage and when they did this song and got to that section, there was a moment where the bass player was slowly scraping his pick on a string which gave it a seriously creaky sound, and added to that it was a very wide stage, and across the top of the front of it was a long sort of beam that went all the way from side to side, and it was in three dully painted parallel colors - I think it was red, blue, and green - and in the center of that was a sort of target-like circle in the same colors, the whole of which looked very ship-ish. This beam was attached to light fixtures that were made to sway very slowly during the creaky bass and I suddenly realized I was on the creaky ship swaying in a dead water waiting for whatever doom might follow; but even more striking, was discovering that I had just had a moment of the type that sneaks up on you unawares and takes you in and you don't realize it until after it's got you. And suddenly you go, "Wow, that was a moment." Brilliant.

First off I just want to say I LOVE these react videos, watching someone experience the great songs from my favorite band gives me goosebumps. Secondly youre listening to songs that arent even their chart toppers which is amazing because youre loving the songs that true iron maiden fans love and appreciate for their complexity and beauty. Thirdly your wife/gf (not sure which) is awesome I only wish i could find a beautiful girl who loves metal as much as I do and who looks at me the way she looks at you. Lastly watch the live version of this song from their flight 666 tour, the build up after the slow part when they come back in will give you visualgasm and eargasm no joke lol kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHWh1KuylNG-edY.html

Great reaction, Kelli! It is so refreshing to see you get it and feel it. Maiden has soo many great songs. Powerslave and Caught Somewhere In Time are my two favorite albums. My first show ever was Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden on the Powerslave tour in 1985. They fell off after Seventh Son of a Seventh Son in my opinion. They made a comeback several years later with A Brave New World. Please try Deftones: Diamond Eyes or Tesseract: Acceptance.

Awesome fucking vid....it brings tears to my eyes watching someone listen to this for the first time 🤘☠️🤘

you two are so fun to watch.

Your girl knows how to properly experience metal...close thine eyes, and enjoy the ride. lol

The greatest metal band ever to grace a stage.

Cookie monster metal, LOL!!! That might be the best description for it yet. Gonna keep that one in mind, thanks you two. And yeah, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner just takes you THERE!!! I think I knew I was gonna be a longtime Iron Maiden fan the very moment I first heard that epic song off their now-classic Powerslave album way back when.

My senior year in high school I took English Literature and my teacher actually played this song for the class. It was so awesome.

Glad to hear Iron Maiden. They are my favorite band. You guys rock!!!

This song live was probably my best memory of any concert I've ever been to.

"Piece of Mind" broke my metal cherry, and Maiden is my all-time favorite. "Number of the Beast" was the first metal album (actual vinyl, brother!) I actually owned. I love seeing you love the shit I love! Up the Irons!

I love your reactions to this Maiden classic. Iron Maiden was the first band to get me into metal, it was their Somewhere in time album. I love their early tracks when they had Paul dianno as their lead singer. It would be cool if you could react to any one of those tracks of their self titled album or the second Killers. You now have a new sub in me. Love the work you're doing.

Good to see some fans enjoying this! Brilliant

Man, you really got the slow bit in the middle. A big old rickety ship was exactly what the music was depicting. So many reactors don’t get that. Well done. It’s that classical training coming through. May I suggest Children of the Damned as another classic Maiden tune to react to..

I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was in high school. It prompted me to go to the school library and look up the poem. I stood in the aisle and read the whole poem. Classic, made me appreciate the song even more.

the rain is significant for a ship dying of thirst. when i was seeing this live in 1984 (yes i'm old) the fireworks after "then down in falls comes the rain" made an impression on me. well the whole concert did, a 16yr kid...
