My English teacher in High School was a metal head and knew I was too. One day we're talking about the Caine Mutiny, the part where they're stuck out in the middle of the Pacific baking under the sun. He says, "This reminds me of a part of a poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Day after day, day after day, we stuck no breath nor motion..." and without missing a beat I replied out loud, "As idle as a painted ship, upon a painted ocean." The teacher just smiled knowingly, but the kid in front of me turned back like Wesley Snipes in Blade, with the "WTF look" This song got me into poetry.

They most definitely did not stay away from alcohol! Listen to a few of Bruce's stories about touring. He says they tried locking him in his room to keep him away from the bar! He also claims the band and the road crew went through 50,000 cans of beer on one world tour tour (bear in mind, a Maiden world tour in those days lasted 2 or 3 years).

The best intro Bruce ever had for this song was. “Our next song is a story about what not to do when a bird shits on you!”

That's awesome, do you mind if I ask when/where you saw them? I grew up in German, and was in my mid-teens in the mid-80's, and was so fortunately able to attend three of the earliest "Monsters of Rock" concerts (well, really just two, as I foolishly got so inebriated on the way to the third one that I pretty much don't remember anything but a huge, dull roar, and an incredibly disgusting floor I was so, so glad to be laying face-down on, as I was utterly unable to stand by that point. So stupid. Well, lesson learned, I guess!), where Maiden performed. I still have all three tour T-shirts! Or rather, my girlfriend has them, as she loves to sleep in them, for some reason... And yes, they played probably the tightest set of any of the bands every time! Although Ozzy was great too (Bark at the Moon tour with Jake E. Lee on guitar), as well as The Scorpions (Blackout tour, I believe), who where my favorite bend EVER...at that time..! Motorhead, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, Michael Schenker Group, on and on, so many great bands! Man...I really miss the 80's. And the 90's. The couple since I could do without, and this one isn't shaping up great either...

In a “behind the scenes” doc, Bruce shows his backstage routines and says he hydrates with 2L of warmed water because “cold water is the enemy of all things singing.” The man is a seriously hard-working performer!

This song was certainly one of the reasons why, and I wish I could have seen them do this song live.

He then proceeded to explain where the lyrics came from, show me the original text from an old, dusty book and I told him more about the band, where they're from and how long they had been around already back in the late eighties. He hasn't dismissed anything I listen to as quick as he used to ever since. The music is rich and complex by itself and so are the lyrics. No wonder Iron Maiden has lasted this long, they have so much depth to them.

Thank you so much for this EPIC review of one of the great songs from my teenage years! Your analysis is so on point and at the same time doesn’t overwhelm! Let’s just say I’m an enthusiastic fan! Please don’t get tired of doing this!

You mention the Egyptian qualities of the final part... I'd say it's a transitional element into the next song, which is Powerslave, where they hit Phrygian territory.

Indeed. Powerslave followed Rime on the Live After Death album and what is perceived as Bruce's last notes of Rime are actually the first ones of Powerslave and I was pleasantly, amazingly impressed she picked up on the style of such a short, seemingly unrelated little tidbit almost immediately.

"They had more energy in 2008 than in this 1985 performance...". Yeah, they probably did: the World Slavery Tour (the Powerslave album tour this footage is from) nearly finished them...literally. It was long, brutal, and relentless. From that tour they learnt to pace themselves - generally, they now have at least one day off between performances, and take better care of themselves.

It truly was a joy and a pleasure watching you discover a song that quickly became my favorite all those years ago. You pointed out issues like the way Bruce stands and the fact that he raises his arm all the time, and now I know why he always did that. I doubt you ever have to worry about pausing the video to speak, I'm pretty sure here in your analysis is the reason people keep requesting that you analyze our favorite songs. Thank you, you're awesomemost and a pleasure to watch.

The gallop you mentioned is due to bass player Steve Harris. The "gallop" is his signature style. Steve is also the primary writer for the band, especially in the early years. Bruce has been compared to an air raid siren for his ability to wail with sustained volume and intensity.

I watch the same reviews over and over just to witness your 'child at christmas' enthusiasm, the look of amazement on your face and the understanding you have for the construction and delivery of each song ... again giving me a new perspective on the song and performance.

I really appreciate your detailed, theoretical and observational, subjective analysis, here and on other videos you're reacting to, and it's great to see how you pick out the things that capture your interest and respect in a genre that is outside what you, yourself would be inclined to perform. There is so much to be learned from your commentary and your enthusiasm is contagious.

I love your excitement and your insight. It inspires me as a guitarist to listen to everything differently.

Bruce was in a norwegian talk show where they asked how he could keep his voice all these years. He said the singing wasn't the thing destroying the voice, but all the talking in clubs after the gig, where you had to shout over the music to be heard. So he tried to avoid that.

"The crowd is trained" Yes, we are

You are so fun to watch! Your joy & delight is infectious. Keep up the wonderful work.

I had to come back and watch the final 8 minutes or so of this video and I just have to share my gratitude again....I don't know if Elizabeth reads these comments, but just in case: your personality, energy, and enthusiasm is on full display in all of your analysis videos and you do such a great job teaching me things about the bands and songs I love - many namastes, for you!

So what Ive learned from this and the Hallowed Be Thy Name review is that the power stance and power fist not only look cool, they actually serve a purpose for vocals.

As a non-singing person, I find this kind of mechanical analysis absolutely fascinating. It really breaks the performance down in a very different way than casual listening or from a guitar centric point of view. I really like that.

I love Bruce so much such a great frontman great singing can really hear his classical training and bringing that sound back with a twist to metal is awesome.

Elizabeth it would be amazing to see you perform one of the Iron Maiden or Judas Priest songs. Watching many of your truly AMAZING performances and seeing the joy you bring to many, it would certainly be a treat to see you perform a song from one of these artists. What are your thoughts on this query?

I've just found your channel and love it. I'm not a musician but I like learning and hearing your thoughts. About this song, I was actually at this concert well one of the 4 nights that they played Long Beach. This is my all time favorite song from Iron Maiden. Some more info about this concert was that the band had been touring for about 13 or 14 months when they filmed these shows over the course of 4 nights. It was a great show and your reaction video brought back some awesome memories. Thank you 😊

When I was a teenager back in the 80s, I turned to heavy metal as an expression of my teenage rebellion, and Maiden was my single favorite band. The fact that many of their songs were based on works of literature got me interested in literature and scholarship in general. Now, that I'm over 50, I am no longer all that rebellious and I have expanded my musical interests well beyond just the stuff I grew up with, and basically, I went from a high school dropout to someone who gets respect for those with masters degree and Ph. D., and I think Iron Maiden and similar bands has a lot to do with that.

You sound a lot like me--and probably millions of others of us. But the fact that Maiden's lyrics revolved so much around literature and history was always one of the things I loved about them. At 50, my musical tastes have also expanded way beyond metal--but when I'm rolling down the road with my windows down on a sunny day, I still love to crank up "The Trooper," "Run to the Hills," or "Aces High," and remember what it was like to be 17. \m/
