[@SonsofSekhmet]

The triplets are called a "gallop", its one of Iron Maiden's signature sounds

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

first thing i learned on guitar was how to gallop while wearing my number of the beast tshirt to lessons

[@coffeetalk924]

Probably the best metal band to ever come out of the UK. And definitely top 5 worldwide. Long live Iron Maiden!!!

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and then the live version from Flight 666.

[@goldy7678]

Every Iron Maiden song is an adventure, history lesson or epic tale. The Charge of the Light Brigade!

[@Bikebrh]

The Charge of the Light Brigade was a British Military disaster where although the Light Brigade demonstrated conspicuous gallantry on the field, they never had a chance because their leadership completely F*cked it up, sending them into the "Valley of Death" taking enemy cannon fire from 3 sides. It's an amazing Poem: "Forward, the Light Brigade!" Was there a man dismay’d? Not tho’ the soldier knew Some one had blunder’d: Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.

[@stevehanson2398]

Fantastic reaction!👍 With many Iron Maiden songs, you get an accurate history lesson. The Trooper tells the account of a British soldier in the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War. Lord Cardigan led the British cavalry against Russian forces during this battle on 25 October 1854. Lord Raglan had intended to send the Light Brigade to prevent the Russians from removing captured guns from overrun Turkish positions. However, there was miscommunication in the chain of command and the Light Brigade was instead sent on a suicide mission charging straight at heavy Russian artillery which cost the lives of over a hundred British soldiers. Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote a poem to commemorate this disaster and he called it "The Charge of the Light Brigade". The bronze that the recaptured guns were made from was used to make the Victoria Cross, a military medal of the very highest order that was awarded "for valour". Very few of these have ever been awarded, even to this day. Other great Iron Maiden history lessons you could check out.... Run to the Hills, Alexander the Great, Paschendale and Empire of the Clouds. I've been a Maiden fan since hearing their debut album in 1980 when I was 10 years old. I've seen them live every time they've played in London, their home ground, and they never disappoint. Up the Irons!!!

[@goldrush5764]

"Alexander The Great" is one of their absolute best! If you like guitar solos you can't go wrong with that one and also with historical context as lyrics.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Interesting 🧐

[@morri9562]

Duuuude not even top 20.

[@Shortstring5]

That rift is so iconic...Have not heard Iron Maiden in years but when I hear the guitar rift....boom.... I knew the song instantly. Absolute great performance.

[@James_Russell]

Nice reaction, guys! This is one of the few Maiden songs that I actually like the studio version better. Check out "Dance of Death" En Vivo next for a great live performance. Bruce Dickinson at his best (storytelling and vocals). 3 guitar solos in this one as well that will blow your mind.

[@mattmid7012]

I agree with that, I think they play The Trooper way too fast live these days.

[@Violator41]

Good choice! I prefer DoD from Death on the Road, but that’s just me.

[@MsBenlane]

also the clansman with bruce and gers dancing.

[@nwslimbubba]

Just seen them last Monday in Vancouver British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 awesome concert 😎. UP THE IRONS

[@89801wink]

Now you see why so many of us have Maiden on our work out playlist. Up The Irons!

[@js.3490]

The words on the screen are Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Charge Of The Light Brigade". it is about the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. The Light Cavalry Brigade suffered massive casualties during this battle. Tennyson wrote read a couple of accounts of this battle and thus wrote this classic poem. It is worth a read and captures the essence of battle, war, decimation and cost.

[@mattmid7012]

Great reactions guys. I actually like the idea of you listening to the studio versions first, definitely helps to know the song a little bit so you can enjoy the live performance more. Rime of the Ancient Mariner would be another great one to react to, taken from the famous poem of the same name and they even use a few lines from the poem.

[@liammerrick6399]

the energy man!!!! when im riding my bike up hill or sprinting this is my go to song. it drives me on. the lyrics paint such a vivid picture. i love this band so so much

[@marcusj7278]

The charge of the Light Brigade is what this song is about. Bruce was a rock scholar.

[@Gforceracing20]

I first heard Iron Maiden in Toronto CA when I was 8 yrs old '81

[@danielbenincasa770]

Yes!!!! The giant skull in the back ground is EDDY....That is his name....in concert they have this 10 feet tall person that represents EDDY. He walks out onto the stage and everyone goes nuts.....he shoots Lasers Beams out of his eyes..... It's a trip....for real....we were wasted Awesome concert.....This one time my girlfriend and friends went. We were seated by the huge speakers....I tell ya...after the show we could not hear for hours. They handed out ear plugs but we said F no. We dont need them. Were we wrong...lol...The good all days can't beat it!

[@OneofMyTurns]

The song does have a galloping feel just like riding a horse!!! Live After Death 1985 was the greatest live performance ever captured on film in Long Beach California!!!!

[@jasperdevries1726]

Good to see Bruce's pants getting the respect they deserve.

[@bryanforis1839]

One of the biggest voices in business great music sounds and live group

[@stevebickley6524]

It's the Maiden gallop!!

[@larsprst4231]

Iron Maiden are the masters of guitar riffs!

[@jono.pom-downunder]

History in song, the greatest catalogue to explore

[@Kakyrock666]

Iron Maiden is The Iron !👍🥁🎸👏😈!

[@pvv9838]

Its a better world with Iron Maiden

[@charlesfitzgerald9631]

The Trooper “en Vivo” is a banger….S. American crowds are bananas & this video upholds that tradition !

[@azzajames7661]

Welcome to the Maiden family;-) This is the best rabbit hole in the world,,,.....so enjoy the ride;-D Iron Maiden is the best (live;) BAND in the world;-P Up the mighty Irons!!!!!

[@deborahwhitney9427]

The poem is Charge Of The Light Brigade by Alfred Tennyson.

[@macthir13en87]

Not only one of My favorite songs...but one of My favorite poems as well...

[@BlackieNuff]

This was the very first song I heard form iron maiden and it was an instant favorite. This was followed by Run To The Hills, and then my first Iron Maiden album, Powerslave, spearheaded by Aces High. All 3 feature videos of similar format ; "live" performance/appearance of the band interspersed with old movie footage. Run To The Hills takes a humorous route with an old Buster Keaton movie.

[@MsGeoffh]

By the waY THE VOCALIST (Bruce DickinsonI is also the bands pilot flying their own plane and also the 747 for them.

[@Dude_Slick]

I always say do the studio version when hearing a song for the first time. It is the polished product the artist wants you to hear.

[@AssMonkeyGaming]

A legendary Iron Maiden song

[@seanbarker4610]

Iron Maiden tell stories with a lot of their songs, one of the few Modern bands that do this are Sabaton! Worth checking out...

[@sirkev.8888]

Aces high has such a nice intro and what their talking about and the guitar playing everything about that song jus sounds great every maiden song has history lesson to it

[@YoDuker]

I've often suggested to others that they listen to the studio version first. Kudos y'all EPIC LIVE SHOWS

[@maryannerazzano7692]

Number of the Beast is fantastic and has the best scream ever ! ❤

[@odellgrimes1375]

Yeah it was called The charge of the light brigade!

[@carlospozaplaton3089]

THE charge OF THE brigade light

[@TheEricthefruitbat]

I don't know if they are speeding up in the video, but they have said that they tend to speed up as a tour progresses.

[@TrollingInTheDeep]

Caught Somewhere In Time by them 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@RyneMurray23]

This song rocks. I love driving and cranking this song🔥👍🏼

[@CrazyInsanelikeafox]

The Trooper is one soldiers perspective of the battle.

[@konstantinosarvanitidis3324]

Up the Irons! 🤘

[@saultrips6730]

side note... the singer ,,Bruce. is a very accomplished fencer

[@toomasargel8503]

Yes that 06:39 start great guitar solo.

[@adamsweetz5156]

Love that silver grey dress with the bow tie looks smashing

[@redrumsonore791]

Up the Irons!

[@redrum567]

EXCELLENT reaction y'all!! 🖒🖒

[@michaelpaz5052]

Not too many groups have two lead guitarists. Foot stompin' heart pumpin' from the start!

[@ironlurker]

And Maiden have had 3 since 1999!

[@PeterDouglas-wd5fx]

There's a great guitar cover of the Trooper by a youtuber called Tina S - amazing!

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

This song is on impressions from the Crimean War (19th century). The battle described here ("Battle of Balaclava") was one of the most futile massacres in war history. Unbelievably tragic. Another deeply impressing song on war is "Paschendale" (also from Maiden). It is a _must-listen-to_ , and the most impressing anti-war Metal song in music history, in my view. Paschendale was a Belgic village which was completetely levelled in the course of bloodthirsty massacres, in the course of WW1.

[@terrydavis7389]

my favorite band ever, been a fan since like the mid 80s

[@UjjayaEthnoambient]

"Rhyme of the ancient mariner" (live version) is their very highlight

[@tonywlaschin7842]

Up the irons!

[@richardrodriguez2120]

You definitely got to Run To The Hills Definitely a banger when I was in high school

[@jackmehoff915]

The running horse thing is the bass galloping, they are famous for the gallop.

[@Nuron666]

Bruce Dickenson is an amazing front man.

[@charlesfitzgerald9631]

That’s called a “galloping” bass line

[@paulocarvalho6480]

For the best experience of Iron Maiden classic sound, please, do listen to Live After Death. All songs are top notch and also A Real Live Dead One. Both albums are so good and yet, so underrated.

[@jimmyavsfan24]

UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@toomasargel8503]

That is my favorite song at "Iron Maiden".

[@stefanboskovic4724]

So many great songs. Number of the Beast is a good one to try. Also Aces High and Flight of Icarus touch on the historical and classical literature genres

[@williamreiser3118]

Some people tease me about being 61 I do not care you know why because I got to drive the coolest cars when they weren't that old yet Got to see the coolest bands when they were in their prime and that included iron maiden One of the very best live acts I've ever seen in person and I've seen hundreds of bands over my time There's no songs Buy them where you can't go wrong They've been putting out incredible music since I was 13 years old in 1975.

[@cbobwhite5768]

Wish you'd do some more Lainey Wilson. "Heart Like a Truck", "Never Say Never" with Cole Swindell, "Things A Man Oughta Know".

[@rothed16]

On my 4th video from yall. Just found your channel. Yes I subscribed since i heard 3 from my fave Band Van Halen i had to subscribe lol. Hitting this and then Hot for Teacher which i was about request! Lol EDIT: Any Iron Madien Live is good with Bruce at the helm! \m/ You need From Who the Bell Tolls from Metallica and when you do it Live do the "Day on the Green" or is it Day at the Green🤔🤷🤣 You will LOVE IT!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Welcome aboard!

[@farficknugan]

I don't think the tempo actually changes, but it does feel like that :]

[@neilfinnemore5933]

its from the poem Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson - famous in british history, as 600 men of the Light Brigade either got the wrong orders or took it on themselves to charge into a valley full Russian artillery only half of them came back !

[@stevored1989]

Miscommunicated orders, their Commanding Officer was on a hill top and could see the Russians making off with some Turkish cannons. He sent orders to stop them but down in the valley the Light Brigade could only see the Russian cannons which were set up to fire, so without querying the orders they charged them instead. The following lines from the poem sort of sums it up “Theirs not to make reply / Theirs not to reason why / Theirs but to do and die.”

[@Violator41]

Love the reaction! Think you guys would love “The Clansman” video from Rock in Rio!

[@anthonymoore1705]

paschendale is another epic song about a battle during world war one.

[@tommiprami]

Check out the Steve And Seagulls version of this, recorded live at outside, at farm. It really brings lyrics into your face...

[@edwardkellett484]

There is a new band out there today called Liliac who's keeping this style of rock alive, you should check out their cover of this song you won't be disappointed

[@ericgaudet5488]

Great job 👍 with your reaction and thoughts on the song The Trooper from Iron Maiden. Another War time themed songs from would be Ace's High and Tailgunner .

[@glastonbury4304]

The Charge of the Light Brigade....

[@cmeav]

Empire of the Clouds - if you don't want to see maiden live, that's a must that doesn't have live version Up the irons

[@katelynneshouse2834]

Iron Maiden......come for the Metal, leave with a History Lesson! Up the Irons 🤘

[@huck944]

You guys should checkout The Journey Man live in Dortmund,you'll see a different side of the band which not only will surprise you but move you too.

[@davidzornes6863]

That bass is playing a "gallup". Don't forget BLACK SABBATH" ,, they invented HEAVY METAL !

[@user-qv2ur2bw3z]

Up The Irons

[@ekakoo167]

thank u to both of you react to one of my favourite metal band...there a so many best song and live from iron maiden...next reaction please do The Paschandale and Sign of the cross live version...up the iron💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@robertdysonn]

I’m glad to see you guys getting another one of these great ones in. Iron maiden is just like Metallica, stick to the 1980s and you won’t find a bad tune at all but they decline after they put out the album fear of the dark, that album was the first one in the modern series that really wasn’t as good. They’re a great band for sure, and even better storytellers. The very first album I ever bought at the age of 10 in 1982 was iron maiden number of the beast and it was so kick ass. That album that I purchased all those years ago was actually a record, smiles. Of course, as a 10 year old I bought the album simply because of the cover picture, back in those days there was no way to listen to music before you bought it so that’s what drew me and was Eddy on the covers.

[@toomasargel8503]

04:00 nice rool ( of course Nicko = drummer . I hope You both know all that band members names at head like I last 36 years) .

[@JSK515D]

Maiden is awesome, but if you like history you should also check out this band: Iced Earth and their album The Glorious Burden and the song Gettysburg (it's 3 parts totaling 30 minutes)

[@kenbongaards554]

Ya folks need to do a reaction to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner,studio first ,followed by the Life After Death version!!

[@nicksykes4575]

It's called "The Charge of the Light Brigade", and the poet was Alfred Lord Tennison.

Listen to Can I Plat With Madness, Wickerman, Die With Your Boots On and Wildest Dreams

[@lassemaja8382]

I just found your channel and really like your music journey. I also like that you are pushing back a little towards all the KZbin "live is best" opinion that seems to flood the comments everywhere over the past few years. Live is best in real life, many of today's modern live recordings and even as far back into the 80s are so over produced that they sound like studio work wich in my opinion is boring. Also, music videos has one big advantage over live takes, it tells a visual story, like the Van Halen videos you have watched lately. So for me MV and live complement each other, you can enjoy both. But hey that just my random opinion. Since you like MV maybe check out David Lee Roth's Going Crazy. With all that said, good luck with your channel and keep being honest. 🎉❤

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you!
