Iron Maiden is one of those bands who feeds of the energy of the crowds. Especially in places like Argentina where the metal crowds really get wild.
As far as miming goes... I've seen recordings of KISS playing "Beth". The sound of the acoustic guitar is a 12-string.... but Paul Stanley and the lead guitarist (not Ace Frehley since Ace left KISS ages ago) each had six-string guitars, and there's no way to make a pair of six-string guitars sound like a single 12-string. EPIC FAIL

Okay - this video is incredible... I was a wee bit skeptical at first, as to whether this was truly the man singing all the parts, but... it becomes clear that it really is... and he is amazing!
Dear gods above and below, he evokes so very much passion in his voice with every part in the video!
This is amazing...

How.... how is this man not voicing every role in every animated film and also appearing on Broadway?
Incredible. Great find.

I know, right?!? He's amazing... he's got a few videos on YouTube that showcase his amazing talent... I've just listened to a marathon of his videos...

This is awesome!! The Republic of Korea Air Force did a parody of Les Miserables: They call it Les Militaribles!
This was so well done... ;D

I thought Russel Crowe was good! He was playing it subtle, but that doesn't mean he was singing badly.
And I don't know whay everybody is so excited about Anne Hathaway either. The real star of that movie was the young woman who played Eponine.

I can't support your russel crowe fandom. He was awful. But Eponine did knock it out of the park.

Russel Crowe has always played one role-Russel Crowe. For this reason I cannot call him an actor. He is the weak link in that cast, even the child actors outshone him in my opinion.
I agree about About Samantha Barks. She was awesome. She did have an advantage having played the role on stage for a few years but by far the most capable singer in that cast.
The rest of the cast, despite being film actors first did well.

See - I don't like Russel Crowe at all. I actually have disliked him in everything I ever saw him in - except this. I think he did an excellent job with the acting, and a fine one with the singing! Eh, I guess these things are all personal taste.
I would say the rest of the cast (Samantha Barks aside) were all one level above 'good' but not amazing. Jackman hammed it up a few times but despite that he was really good.
And they were ALL a damn site better than the cast for the 25th Anniversary show. Again, except Barks!

Well Barks can't be better than the 25th anniversary cast....seeing as in that she was Eponine in that. And while I prefer Colm Wilkonson to Alfie Bowe as ValJean, both were superior to Jackman who did a damn fine job for a Baritone in a Tenor role.

Alfie Boe, he can sing, see, but he can't act. Jackman at least does both jobs well, if not spectacularly.

I was never able to get a read on Alfie's acting. So I had to go by the voice with him. As for ham...I kinda expect that from a melodrama.

Crowe does it straight-up hamless. Boneless and with no salad. Fresh off the bone I'm tellin ya'.

Aaaannnnd that was part of the problem with him for me. That and it was Russel Crowe and not Javert I was seeing on screen.
