Hearing IRON MAIDEN For The First Time!!! - The Trooper (REACTION!!!)

[@rdgo4141]

It is a national holiday every time this great band comes to Chile.

[@juanmfe]

True story: for the last Iron Maiden concert in Chile (last October), tickets were sold out literally one year previous to the show. Then they opened a second show and tickets sold out in around one week. That's how much we Chileans love Iron Maiden, and they know it 🤘🏽 their concerts are epic, and have a kind of energy too difficult to explain

[@stuogs]

Story goes that it was actually misheard or misunderstood order and the british charged in the wrong direction leading it become like you say became a suicidal charge

[@savagesnayle301]

@@stuogs more than half the light brigade lived and they actually killed over half the gunner and silenced the batteries. On the way back they formed line and charged with such ferocity the 3000 Russian cavalry forming to stop them just didn't form and let them pass.

[@bartoszbiniszewski139]

As You see, Iron Maiden is huge, absolutely amazing and influencial band. This is like religion, especially in South America. Please React Fear of The Dark, live 2001 and Hallowed by The Name, live 1982.

[@theseanie9958]

Totally agree on both of these, especially fear of the dark

[@viktor821]

Both shows are absolutely amazing

[@PitVanRooster69]

YES!! Rock In Rio 2001. I was there. Only time I've seen them outside of the US. UP THE IRONS!! 🤘🤘

[@minners71]

@op these are a must for any reaction video.

[@minetecton]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@ulf793]

They're all in their 60's now & still doing gigs like this today!!, truly the best metal.band ever or ever will be!. The Trooper is from the "Piece of Mind" album from 1983 & is about the charge of the light brigade at the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War between Britain & Russia. It was a light cavalry charge against Russian cannons in a valley basically, bit of a blood bath for us in the end unfortunately.

[@osez111]

Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell Rode the six hundred.

Ours is not to question why, ours is not to give reply, ours is just to do or die.

[@PitVanRooster69]

Iron Maiden - "Fear of the Dark" Rock in Rio 2001. it is a must listen and watch vid. I was at that show. Only time I've seen them out of the US. Proud to say I haven't missed a US tour since they started coming to the states way back in the day. UP THE IRONS!!🤘🤘

[@ianhannah111]

There's many epic songs by Iron Maiden. Fear of the Dark or The Clansman live at Rio 2001. Hallowed be thy name. Paschendale. Run to the Hills. Two minutes to Midnight. The list is endless.....

[@YerkoVillarroelJ]

the best is in chile, see you "iron maiden en vivo"

[@gustaferiksson3044]

Think it's easier to list their bad songs than their good ones. My list is empty at the moment 😎🤘🏻

[@stephane7607]

@@gustaferiksson3044 Maybe invaders....

[@gustaferiksson3044]

Stephane Coutu i might not consider Invaders as good but it's not bad atleast that's my opinion 😊

[@SpaceAgeHamburger]

Rime of the Ancient Mariner from Flight 666 is what you want to hear.

[@2catgumbo]

Truth

[@murdock.12]

Ohhh man that deserves at least a glass of scotch to enjoy the song

[@fubar1217]

In fact, watch the whole documentary (Iron Maiden: Flight 666). The singer, Bruce Dickinson is a licensed commercial airline pilot and flew the band around the world on their tour in 2008.

[@viktor821]

Hallowed Be Thy Name - Hammersmith 1982, You'll see Bruce "air raid siren" Dickinson in his prime

[@JD.Knight]

Hit his peak on brave new world. His rock in rio performance is better than all previous live performances.

[@scottbrain9629]

Possibly one of the greatest love performances ever

[@GiGi-fu6qs]

Hallowed be thy name (live) - Rime of the ancient mariner - The clansman ( rock in rio ) - The sign of the cross (bruce Dickinson) - Phantom of the opera - Fear of the dark .... and so many more. Iron Maiden is a great band to discover , 16 albums and over 150 songs and who know .. maybe another one . This band will travel generation simply cause they are legends of their arts . Thumps up for the video !!

[@theseanie9958]

You have to watch iron maidens fear of the dark live at rock in Rio. Best live video I've ever seen.

[@Xord499]

Yes

[@PitVanRooster69]

2001 Rock in Rio. I was at that show. UP THE IRONS!! 🤘🤘

[@monsieurkain]

Yes sir

[@flavio_spqr]

You have got to do Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Live Flight 666, New Jersey. Epic doesn't even cut it!

[@SpaceAgeHamburger]

That video is amazing I probably watched it 9 times when I got the blu-ray

[@pynskhemlangniangti4209]

This is the song that shows their true greatness..their live performance way good than studio sets

[@flavio_spqr]

Fun fact: One of Nightwish's current drummer, Kai Hahto's, major drum idols/influence is that gentleman there on that huge drumkit, Nicko Mcbrain.

[@ericlenouy8756]

And Steve Harris, bass player, founder, main composer, mastermind, is a big fan of... Tuomas Holopainen... Those 2 bands enjoy playing on stage the same way (and are also great musicians) Floor commented on them that they are lovely and down to earth persons, not the kind of jerks you could expect them to be

[@EricManktelow]

Nicko is not only a reveared metal drummer who's influenced so many metal drummers since he's also a lovely down to earth bloke as well. No ego at all with him.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Another Fun Fact: Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers counts her major influences as the lead singer of Lost Horizon, but more important, Bruce Dickinson -- for her singing style, and her stage style. Only thing she doesn't do that Dickinson did is get into the whole "flying through the air" vibe Bruce has while performing -- she says that she's scared of heights, lol. But Unleash the Archers definitely is the band to carry on Maiden's "legacy" when these awesome guys finally retire.

[@Aranes68]

Definetly the BIGGEST metal band of all times!

[@kebobs3727]

The dueling guitars of the Trooper is one of the single most recognizable metal sounds there is

[@everett880]

Gotta love the Maiden! Saw them live twice in home country England. It's the band I enjoy listening to while getting history lessons other than Sabaton.

[@cathylyon8334]

Saludos desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱!!! Estuve ahí, fue maravilloso 🤘

[@D-C.]

The Trooper was the song that launched Iron Maiden into my life. I'm 52. Heard it for the first time a.year ago, and since then I've listened to them so much, that I'm heading to see them live next month in Barcelona. Taking my daughter with me.to her first ever concert. Hallowed be thy name is my all time favourite, but The Trooper will always be the one that woke me up!

[@brianpoole4369]

The song is about "the charge of the light brigade"...a true historical battle, from the Crimea war...(1850s)..a British cavalry regiment consisting of 600 horse, and troopers (the light brigade)..charging a well dug in Russian redoubt...many cannons and heavy infantry...it was a suicidal charge..but has gone down in history, as a glorious and heroic act of duty and bravery!!

[@memoneitors]

The band star at 1972, this concert was in national stadium in Santiago Of Chile, 85.000 people in that concert, I be there and was fantastic, in Chile the band has many followers, well, look the Iron Maiden in chile dvd is great show, i hope enjoy

[@mattpfarr5992]

Iron Maiden- fear of the dark ( live @ Rock in Rio )

[@marcustidholm6775]

You have to check out: Fear of the dark, live, rock in rio

[@charlesjohnson9249]

I still prefer Argentina from the Flight 666 tour!

[@TheMetalBlock380]

Ages: Steve Harris (Bass)-64, Bruce Dickinson (vocals)- 61, Dave Murry Guitar 2nd half of gtr solo)- 63, Adrian Smith (brown hair guitarist)- 63, Janick Gers (other blond guitarist)-63 and drummer Nicko McBrain- 68...All 6 members are still going strong! Last year's world tour was epic and they're got a new album coming!

[@SpaceAgeHamburger]

The song is about the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote The Charge of the Light Brigade about this battle.

[@talismanmia2537]

One comment to add a bit of needed context to what others are saying: No radio play, no MTV, no nothing in terms of the type of commercial promotion enjoyed by every single band in rock history that could ever fill a stadium like this one. Except Maiden. All word of mouth, organic growth. They never caved for the easy money, to the credit of their founder and bassist Steve Harris.

[@andrewludwig9251]

Just remember this; without Iron Maiden, there would be no Sabaton and many other power metal bands. Maiden are metal pioneers and laid the foundation for a lot of metal today!

[@walter9899]

The lead guitarist from sabaton (Chris) is a huge Maiden fan, he’s said it many times in interviews

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Brittney Slayes and Unleash the Archers are also huge fans of Iron Maiden.

[@roddygogo7772]

In their 60s Buddy. Started in the Mid to late 70s. South America is a fan base 10 million plus.

[@matiasdimter619]

Chile is one of the better pleaces when it comes to metal music, actually.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

Well, they have been played for full stadiums in South America since 1985, when they played for 250-300 thousand people at Rock In Rio 1, opening for Queen who were the headliners. They were also one of the first metal bands to tour East Europe... Iron Maiden Behind the Iron Curtain. Poland, Hungary and Yugoslavia, in 1984...

[@onearthonelegion]

THREE LEAD GUITARS

[@darkiee69]

That's what happens when you're a good guy. One of them left, they took in a new guy. Then the one who left came back. So now they have three guitarists since they didn't have the heart to fire the replacement.

[@nostalga44jo]

Their first album was in 1980 Still going Strong!! Cool reaction!

[@markporter1901]

The Trooper is written by bassist Steve Harris about the Charge of The Light Brigade. Taken from 1983’s “Piece of Mind” album- which was their fourth. The fellas are in their late 50’s early 60’s now and still bring that energy. Over 150,000,000 album sales worldwide.

[@cliffpatterson7359]

They formed in '75! They're in their 60's and have as much energy as they did when i first saw them in 1986!

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

The song is about the charge of the light brigade during the battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War. Vocals -Bruce Dickinson, bass guitar Steve Harris, drums Nikko McBrain, 3 guitarists are Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Jannick Gers.

[@NMG722]

One of the best bands of all times, influence to so many groups ...TRUE LEGENDS! I had the honor to see them live twice in Costa Rica 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@BuckeyeaTransplant]

Iron Maiden was formed in 1975. When they tour, Lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson is the pilot for the band’s 747.

[@EricManktelow]

They've been going since the early 70s so they are all approaching 70 now. They are still the best and can still run rings around some musicians less than half their age.

[@francoacevedo6994]

Please react to "Dance of Death" from the same show En Vivo en Chile... Amazing performance!

[@betelgeuseism]

Boy, I remember seein Maiden live for the first time. It was just mind blowing. Never seen anything like that.

[@purpleir]

Great reaction! I love Iron Maiden! They are my happy place! They are a band to see live, much better live (as are Nightwish). I saw them last in 2018. The show was amazing!!! They are still great! As was the 40000 people crowd. They generally get a lot more thousands in the crowd in south America! They have super dedicated fans. I have been listening to them since I was 7-8. They are a great bunch as people as well. Please please do more!!!

[@razeilis4775]

The Iron Maiden dosis u need is Rock in Rio 2001. That epic intro with The Wicker Man, was amazing.

[@seanmurphy637]

Iron Maiden has been around since about 1979. Major metal success by 1982. Yeah, these guys have been around the block. I've seen them live twice. Both times that they came to South Africa. Both times they were awesome. This song is basically about the Battle of Balaclava, and specifically about the ill fated charge of the Light Brigade. Just Google that and you will understand.

[@silentrage7878]

Nicko, the drummer, is nearly 70 years old! and still makes it look easy

[@tralph40]

My friend watch the official video for “Aces High” and see them in the 80’s and their depth of music and energy. Timeless.

[@DavidMetcalf93]

I’ve got one of Nicko McBrains drum sticks that my dad managed to grab at a show in the late 80’s. I’ve been lucky enough to see them twice, the first time at Download Festival 2012 where they had a fly by from a Hurricane before the show, it was an incredible performance, favourite part was when they played fear of the dark and probably 80k plus people as joined in.

[@Negativespace95]

My mom got me into metal and alternative. She took me to allbthe concerts with her when I was a child. Bruce Dickenson ❤🤘 watch ac/dc at Riverplate omg the crowd is amazing. South American crowds are insane.❤

[@Hadesillo]

It makes me feel really old to see a rock guy who barely heard Maiden. Oh shit. I love music everywhere and from all times, but there has never been anything like Iron Maiden. They are a bit old here, not the same they were, but look at the energy they still display at their age. I have seen a lot of metal bands, from classic legends like Judas Priest to Manowar, to some of the more new and experimental. No one is even close to what Iron Maiden was able to achieve in a live show at their prime. Iron Maiden is the Heavy Metal.

[@01VASB]

Good!! here's a iron maiden list for your next reactions: Rime of the ancient mariner, aces high, the number of the beast, hallowed be thy name, fear of the dark, wasted years.

[@MsGeoffh]

Hugely popular in South America 250.000 people in Brazil to see them in one night (don't know how many they played) and just so you know they are in their 60's now but their new World tour starts next month starting in the UK ( home base ) and onwards from there All over the place, unfortunately the vocalist is not piloting their jet anymore (they do have their own jet)

[@itsatrap7215]

I've always liked the song Wasted Years by Iron Maiden a lot.

[@Raiderblack]

Brave new world 4. Killers 5. Phantom of the opera 6. 2 minutes to .midnight 7. Flight of Icarus 8. Fear of the dark 9. Aces High 10.

[@SportivaItalia]

Nicko McBrain (the drummer) loves to have all kinds of different sounds, even if it's just in case he decides to go for a different sound during a song and above all: his style is just using all the pieces of the kit and that makes it a unique sound as well. Steve Harris, the bass player, is the founder of the band and the guitarist on the left, Dave Murray is kind of the original guitarist. He was chosen to be the 3rd guitarist, but the other two left and they could do it without them. From that point on it started the become the Iron Maiden we know today (I'm reading a biography, so still fresh information :P ). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Maiden Thanks for reacting \m/
