Riff to Riff – Members Audio

We make a brief digression from Iron Maiden so Ben can react to fellow NWOBHM pioneers Saxon. Can't believe I've never played him 747 Strangers in the Night before. I am a bad uncle. #classicrock #nwobhm #saxon #ironmaiden #guitar

Another step away from Iron Maiden to fellow NWOBHM trailblazers, Def Leppard. A blindfold taste test for Ben. #ironmaiden #classicrock #defleppard #nwobhm

A live favourite that Ben has only ever heard on live recordings or in concert. What will he make of the original studio version? #ironmaiden #classicrock #ironmaidenreaction #newriff #nwobhm

Step two on the Iron Maiden deep dive reaction plan. All's going well except Uncle Simon has ironically forgotten to press record for the first five minutes of Remember Tomorrow. #ironmaiden #ironmaidenreaction #classicrock #guitar

The deep dive begins. First album, first track, first ever listen for Ben! Here it is...Uncle Simon and Ben react to Prowler by Iron Maiden.

Uncle Simon has lived and loved classic rock and metal for decades and has shared many of the songs with his nephew Ben. This an intergenerational reaction series. Ben is hearing some of them for the first time, but he can actually play them. Uncle Simon is hearing them for the thousandth time and can occasionally play them... We talk about why we love these tracks and why we want you to love them too. Great riffs. Smart chat. First up. The Trooper, by Iron Maiden.
