First Time hearing Iron Maiden ( The Trooper ) | Reaction

[@n8vsarestillhere111]

The song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took place during the Crimean War, and inspired by Lord Tennyson's 1854 poem of the same name.

[@rickymitchell3162]

The clansman live at Rio, phantom of the opera live at download, fear of the dark live at Rio, Alexander the Great, studio version as they’ve never performed the song live Just say that you’re into Maiden or “up the irons”

[@vegars1973]

Next need to be Fear of the dark, live at rock in rio

[@1980pennywise]

You have to do Rime of the ancient Mariner (flight 666 version) . Trust me

[@yankeerepairs]

Yesss Up The Irons ! 🤘 Legendary performance !!

[@raiderwoif2613]

Never too late to join the club, welcome! Up the Irons!!! 🤟

[@NWOslave]

up the irons!

[@expiredmilk1431]

You need to react to Alexander the great its one of their best songs

[@douglasgawitt8818]

With lyrics!!!

[@665don667]

And it has one of Maiden's best guitar solos

[@xristina9958]

I'm greek and I completely love how much people love Alexander the great

[@MoMoMyPup10]

🤮

[@MoMoMyPup10]

@Random Ryan 🥺

[@bobs.3764]

Do 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' next by them.

[@jayfromtheredneckriviera7956]

Iron madien- blood Brothers you won't be disappointed my guy

[@OneEyedJack1970]

No, you won't.

[@OneEyedJack1970]

That wasn't a solo. That was just Dave and Adrian playing in harmony. These two could do that in their sleep.

[@metalhead4135]

Iron Maiden don’t do “rock” songs - they are strictly metal. BTW, this live concert was at the end of a very gruelling world tour so the fact that they can do this so well live is a testament to how good they really are

[@lkesha82]

Iron maiden - Powerslave, please!)

[@vilianavasileva8213]

Iron Maiden is a lesson in history. Try next Alexander the Great or The Clansman.

[@Frostrazor]

"I don't know why no one ever told me about Iron Maiden" dude - you had their shirt for 10+ years, were called on carpet twice and still never looked into them. It's all good - We embrace you to the family better late than never. Yah Trooper is badazz - great reaction - fun to watch you get so amped up. it's always a crowd please cuz it's up tempo and driving riff. Check out 2 minutes to Midnight Aces High Powerslave Flight of icarus

[@anonymoususer9384]

This song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred Tennyson

[@bugvswindshield]

Steve Harris. One of the top bassist in rock and roll history.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

Not only that, he wrote 90% of all songs of Maiden

[@bradrhodes9877]

Fear of the dark at rock in rio!

[@justpassingthrough3657]

Wasted years is my favorite, but they’re all great

[@hiimbarryscott3763]

You need to react to Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death

[@wrightgraham1677]

It's about the charge of the light brigade during the Crimean war. Poems have been written about this event

[@MattKrogmeier]

Up The Irons, my man! Do yourself a favor and watch the Flight 666 documentary. It’s phenomenal.

[@kevindement7418]

Being a Maiden fan for 35 years it is cool to see new people discover what to me is the best metal band that has ever been. Up the Irons!

[@anzacthedog]

Welcome to the family mate. Iron Maiden is off the scale, always have been. I’ve listened to them since 1981 and consider myself immensely privileged to have shared the journey with them. You gotta go to a gig and see them live. First 3 songs blow you away, and from there they never let up. 🤘🏼

[@Uninvited72]

Need a copy of lyrics to fully enjoy.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

Personly I think you should always start with studio record, then live

[@Youlookeddidntyou]

Haha wait until you hear the live albums when they have three guitars at once

[@maryhubbard2889]

Bruce Dickinson is a great singer, I love Iron Maiden

[@chrismaher5344]

Good thing Bruce got a bigger flag and more appropriate attire in later years. Lol.

[@helgaratbone1691]

Charge of the Light Brigade!

[@chadferguson9075]

Up The Irons!!

[@jerseytiger1980]

FYI it’s L(eye)ve After Death, as in a live performance

[@pthor6265]

I was at this show, and made it in one of the album sleeve photo's. Long Beach Arena.

[@brianpoole4369]

The "Trooper" is a homage to famous historical battle in the Crimean war in 1850...it's the famous "charge of the light brigade"...600 British cavalry made a suicidal charge against Russian cannons, and dug in soldiers....it's gone down in history!!!

[@josephgallardo9796]

You haven't seen nothin' yet!! They are still jammin'! Over 40 yrs! They are best seen live! Their fan's are the most dedicated & also bat-shit crazy!! Iron Maiden forever!!

[@andyreid6826]

So many great songs. Both new and old. Iron maiden has been my favorite band since the mid eighties. I saw them in 1988. Best concert I ever attended. Maiden is all about the fans. And it shows. Great reaction.

[@bugvswindshield]

HS grad of '86. Right with ya bro.

[@shamthegoodfella6026]

U got the BEST reaction bruh! 😆 Love ur content! Subscribed!

[@ericwilliams1031]

Should do "Aces High" about the royal air force defending England against the Nazi Luftwaffe air strikes

[@lucassilvapascoal3581]

4:05 "I give this solo 8,5... Thirty seconds after, The Real Solo... Spoke too soon hahaha But it is so interesting to me how the quality and complexity of the music imprest who doesnt know the band

[@ork_oz]

Metallica - Master of puppets live in Seattle 1989

[@thanatomaggot9585]

If you haven't heard about Jinjer, they are one of the best band to react to. Don't look up anything about them, just react to Pisces (live session) - Jinjer. Not as much energy as Maiden, but definitely something you should discover.

[@nem447]

Needs more cow bell. \m/

[@johncondry]

First cassette I bought ever. I was 10 back in 86. I've had to rebuy live after death 7 or 8 times. It's a must own.

[@Robbie3004]

One of the things that give Maiden their distinctive sound is the fact that bassist Steve Harris has been the main songwriter for much of the band's history but especially so in the early days (these days he prefers to refine ideas provided by the others). This song is a Harris composition and is a classic Maiden "gallop" driven by his bass-line.

[@TrollingInTheDeep]

Duuuuude all these show is amazing!!! Specially Rime Of The Ancient Mariner...🤟🏼🤟🏼🤘🤘🤟🏼🤟🏼🤘🤟🏼🤟🏼🤘🤘🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@D12-t8s]

"heavy metal" is a tribute IRON MAIDEN

[@terryconnelly484]

I've been a maiden head since the 1970s

[@rallypoint1]

That’s awesome!!! You beat me. Fan since ‘82...was 12 when Maiden came into my life. The Iron Maiden font and cover is what I saw at Music +

[@Rogue_Weatherman_Joe-D.]

Welcome to "Club Maiden" Dawg!!! I was 14 when I first heard Iron maiden and I'm 54 yrs old now and still jam to them. The Lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, has vocal chords made of Titanium!! He damn near hits the entire range of notes and his ability to HOLD a note for so long without taking a breath nor losing the note during the entire time is telling of his abilities as a singer. AND he actually flies his bands charter planes, notably the Boeing 757-200 and then finally upping the ante and flying the massive Boeing 747-400. Google them. "Ed Force One" is the nickname for the bands jet. Iron Maiden is arguably the Fathers of modern Metal and to their fans they are outright Legends and Gods of metal. No band then or since has even come close to the musical talent of Iron Maiden. The dueling guitars, sometimes triplet dueling, the bass guitar keeping a massively fast tempo is not even used in any other bands to this day. Glad you enjoyed discovering Maiden and "up the Irons"!!!!!

[@hittrewweuy7595]

Great reaction , more maiden please 🤟🏻🤘🏼🤟🏻🤘🏼🤟🏻🤘🏼

[@kerryfisher5264]

The trooper hands 🙌 down best Iron Maiden song ever

[@Surfer-iv4qs]

Listen - Revelations, concert Sidney 👍

[@DanJackson1977]

Btw.. its "Live" as in a live show or tv broadcast.. "Live Afrer Death" it's a pun.

[@gordonfreemanist]

Ha! The fan base has no name, Maiden was before fan bases were give names like Beliebers.... you are simply..... 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻part of the Maiden Family 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@eljonny3801]

Alright... now that you got a few songs from Iron Maiden, we can always go back.... let's throw you into the grinder JUDAS PRIEST - PAINKILLER

[@dolphin8077]

Do the Clansman. They are the best band performing live. Up the Irons 🔥🤘🏻

[@TheZoinx]

Check out Empire of the Clouds...18 minutes of Heaven!

[@davidmerlin6787]

I am very happy you are doing live after death stuff..... Nobody else does.... It's the best.

[@TheZoinx]

Rime of the Ancient Mariner is one you NEED to hear....long song but AMAZING

[@bichogrande2117]

Great reaction man... deserving of this song! Bravo! 👏👏👏🤟😊🍻 ... oh - do you like Maiden duet guitar solos- try the song: "Phantom of the Opera" - that's going to break your score- guaranteed!! Thank you!

[@Imoverit9414]

I don't always listen to Iron Madien... But when I do, So do the neighbors 🤟😎🤟

[@yankeerepairs]

#hollaatkrazy You best prepare yourself for "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" LIVE Flight 666 tour video reaction. You will be speechless... They are icons, legends, pioneers, and masters at their craft - Up the Irons 🤘🤘

[@Gary_Hines]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_of_the_Light_Brigade all you need to know about this song....

[@gandelfthegreat8856]

Charge of the Light Brigade 25 October 1854 The Charge of the Light Brigade was a failed military action involving the British light cavalry led by Lord Cardigan against Russian forces during the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854 in the Crimean War. The Riff is the sound of horses charging the russian guns. In the end, of the roughly 670 Light Brigade soldiers, about 110 were killed and 160 were wounded, a 40 percent casualty rate. They also lost approximately 375 horses.

[@MajorDstruction]

I was at that show. Boy was I surprised they taped that event. The only drag was that I was on the losing side of the scream challenge. Anyway, yeah I'm old AND still a fan.🤘UP THE IRONS!

[@shannonwoods2413]

Do your self a favor and react to Pantera and their live performance of "Domination" from Moscow '91'.... Vinnie Dimebag Darrell's guitar solo will fuckin blow you away. And buckle up because this song is high energy!!!

[@EB2768]

Dude! You're a Maidenhead. 😀 They're probably the best at ensuring that the music and the lyrics meld perfectly. And yes... They teach us more about history than school. Welcome to the Club!

[@feathersz1952]

It’s about the civil war. Like 1885. look at “Eddie”.

[@katrinadavidge3643]

The name for us Maiden fans is names that we have made up as Iron Maiden don't give their fans a name. The first name for us is "Troopers" because of the song "The Trooper" from the album 'Piece of Mind' (1984) and the other name for us is "blood brothers (and sisters)" and thats based on the song 'Blood Brothers' from the album 'Brave New World' (2000). I highly recommend listening to Murders in the Rue Morge because its from the album 'Killers' (1981) and thats the album cover that is on your shirt, keep in mind though that their first singer was Paul Di'Anno so if you react to a version that has a different singer thats the reason why, Bruce joined the band after Paul left. Carry on rocking, UP THE IRONS! 🤘🤘🤘

[@duartemira8253]

Man start reacting to FUCKING POP SMOKE

[@damianblakely788]

You suffered from premature reactulation on the solo!!🤣🤣 If you didn't notice you got a 2 for 1 on the solos. Both guitarists did one. They do that on a lot of songs. Iron Maiden is the all time greatest rock band ever. I've been a huge dan since about 1984(I'm 52). My all time favorite band, they've created many masterpieces over the years. One of the best being Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I see many others requesting it too. You won't be disappointed. Keep up the good work bro!!! Thanks

[@renzo4296]

This was live after death world slavery tour in 1985, this concert was recorded at California's long beach arena for 4 nights straight, this was a massive world tour, I believe for nearly a year straight, these guy's have toured thousands of times. I couldn't imagine embarking on a tour like this. Absolutely exhausting.

[@uncle_thulhu]

In case you're still wondering, the song is about the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War (UK vs Russia, more or less) in the early 1800s. Basically, they sent light cavalry, armed with nothing but pistols and sabres, up against heavy artillery. It was not a good day for the British...

[@deloresmorris3791]

You think Bruce and the boys (Iron Maiden) taught you a bit of history? Check out the perfection that is Sabaton. They're an amazing Swedish power metal band who's entire catalogue is based on actual history like wars and battles. I've seen them live 2 times. They will literally blow your mind..you're welcs lol

[@bryantulas7512]

Remember the episode on Chappelle show with John Mayer showing why white guys get stupid when a guitar plays....welcome to the club bro!

[@travisneal8642]

One of my favorites of maiden songs is "the prisoner". React to that one. I'm sure you will like it.

[@NWOslave]

i love these reaction vids by you Maiden is like the unsung heavy metal band of the 80's. go get Mothership by Led Zepplin. its their greatest hits album. your welcome also, all fans know "up the irons" as their salute to each other.

[@marz8993]

you had it right the first saying...Live After death, like not recorded but in concert (live)

[@allisoncameron-dicker2737]

Have you ever heard parisiene walkways for a guitar solo? Worth a listen.

[@michaelsmith2017]

So that first "solo" you loved wasn't really a solo. It was an instrumental break. You rated it an 8.5 but you need context so you can rethink your score. Most people reacting to Maiden don't even pick up on the fact that 90% of the guitar parts are two or three part harmonies. It's hard enough for one guitarist to play these songs cleanly but to have a second guitarist harmonizing the lines cleanly....at these tempos....live. Now that's next level shit.

[@CHOCKO895]

I would listen to Maiden before my hockey games and I would get so amped up and I would be ready to go

[@Raw_robz]

Rating the "solo" before the actual guitar solo came thru 🤣 but the reaction to the real guitar solo after was priceless

[@lashark1]

Iron maiden singer "Bruce dickenson and tribuzy, tears of a dragon" if you like maiden and Bruce, you need to see this
