KING KTF | Iron Maiden - The Trooper - REACTION

[@SAVikingSA]

Maiden is great cause you get metal and you get a history lesson

[@MrChoobsabre]

Same with Iced Earth :^)

[@TheBlackQueen]

School Teacher's favourite metal bands; History; Iron Maiden Math; Tool Goverment; (Rep) Megadeth, (Dem) RATM Auto & Mechanics; Mötorhead Chemistry; Black Sabbath Sex Ed; Def Leppard English; (Also) Iron Maiden

[@NinoMit87]

Thats why I love Sabaton. I studied history at university and still they taught me stories I didd't know yet.

[@TheAskald]

nah

[@jeremyleblanc2923]

assassin's creed and iron maiden teaching history better than any history professor could lmao

[@richardtownsend9107]

This song was written by the bass player Steve Harris, it is about the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, during the Crimean War. History and Metal, you can't go wrong!

[@robertschneider1977]

Beat me to it. Harris loves history and literature in his writing.

[@richardtownsend9107]

I can't tell you how many times I watch a video and come up with something relevant or witty to post and see someone beat me to it!

[@robertschneider1977]

Was gonna go all alfred lloyd tennison reference and everything lol.

[@richardtownsend9107]

Wow, I wish you did beat me! I went with the Cliffs Notes version.

[@richardtownsend9107]

Go for it anyway! It's a great story, a piece of history and an amazing insight to the depth of the thinking of the band!

[@Jimmys921]

The instrumental sounds like the galloping of a cavalry charging.

[@argantyr5154]

like Charge of the light brigade :)

[@guitarmatt0867]

Because it is.

[@normalpersonfrom50yearsago15]

The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee by Gloryhammer does the horse galloping thing the best IMO

[@ragingraven2746]

The bass technique Steve Harris uses is literally called the three finger galloping

[@hammermillable]

3 Iron Maiden INSTRUMENTALS: "Transylvania", "Genghis Kahn", "Losfer Words",

[@mikehill8524]

You forgot Ides of March from Killers before Bruce Dickenson was the vocals. Paul Di'Anno was their front man back then.

[@BrunoScheidecker]

Aaahhhh transylvania

[@mikewalter1111]

flash of the blade middle part pretty cool too

[@dranordarinson6284]

And "walking on glass" from live

[@bottasan]

and not to forget : the Ides of March from the Killers album

[@arbintor]

"Transylvania", "Genghis Khan", "Ides of March", which leads into "Wrathchild", and "Losfer Words, Big Orra" are all of Iron Maidens instrumentals. However a vast majority of Iron Maidens music, ESPECIALLY their newer stuff (2000-present), have long instrumentals complimented by lyrical parts to tell a tale. One day I hope you can experience the Empire of the Clouds. Until then check out their instrumentals and more songs. Would love to hear your opinions. Especially on the masterpiece that is The Isle of Avalon ;)

[@Vazcular]

Dante's Inferno by Iced Earth if you want an actual epic.

[@wessyh]

The flight 666 version!

[@noalterna77]

Live after death version is the best one.

[@walkawaycat431]

The instrumental leading to "Phantom of the opera" is sublime🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@antonsindahl4506]

React to Iron Maiden - The Clansman live at Rock In Rio it's an amazing live performance of an amazing underrated song.

[@artrock101]

Iron Maiden - Genghis Khan ~ an instrumental, from their second (and in my opinion their best) album, Killers. Or, you could listen to The Ides of March/Wrathchild, from the same album... Ides of March is an instrumental that leads into the main track.

[@jbinpo]

Losfer Words

[@artrock101]

That's another good one... Transylvania, too.

Not an instrumental, but does have a nice long intro and long solo and bridge: To tame a land

[@nunyabusiness6654]

Not an instrumental, but try Iron Maiden, Wasted Years, I think you'll like it.

[@studuckson]

Nunya Business live version, always do a live version with Maiden!

[@arbintor]

Always do studio, THEN live version. Especially with Fear of the Dark. I swear the studio and live versions are 2 different songs.

[@beaugregoire3827]

Agreed

[@ironeddie3911]

Great song!🎶🎼🎵🎶👍

[@tattooedman42]

Excellent choice.

[@thedeaconofmetalshow7657]

Definitely Rhime of the Ancient Mariner, basically Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem sung by Bruce Dickinson and great breakdown and music in long-form song. So many great Iron Maiden songs to choose from. Anything off "Piece of Mind" (which is where the Trooper is from), "Aces High" is a great fast track from "Powerslave" (basically anything off there), anything off "Number of the Beast". I could go on and on about Iron Maiden. Seen them live twice in the last 10 years, does not suck.

[@blacksamurai0199]

Maiden always gives you goosbumps and history lessons haha, nice vid bro Up the irons!

[@form_52]

You owe it to yourself, you NEED to watch Fear Of The Dark live. As soon as possible. It's life changing.

[@kenkenton4186]

YES buddy great choice.

[@jasonmarinos9835]

its funny because i remember when i was 10 and when i first watched that live it changed my life and i am a hardcore metalhead till now at 21

[@madpriest7822]

That's nice and he ended up watching it but why suggest such a common performance? What if he watched Raising Hell performance as a first impression?

[@TheSagaGemini]

Yes,but from Donnington 1993!

[@jblaskov]

Live performance- “Ace’s High” from 2008 live in India. GOOSE BUMPS!

[@richardhoneycutt6685]

The look on his face when the song first kicked off. Just a slight smirk like "this is gonna be good" probably the look on my face when I first heard the song

[@saschaschneider6355]

Maiden are great, I've seen them live multiple times and it's been a effing great show every time. The last show I went to was shortly after their lead vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, had beaten cancer and he still was so damn full of energy it was hard to believe. One of the all time great metal vocalists. For me the three best singers in metal are Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson and Rob Halford. That being said, you need to react to Judas Priest. If you want a song that leaves you breathless: Painkiller. If you want something that grooves: Troubleshooter or Devil's Child. Or you could go with their early era which sounds a bit like Sabbath sometimes: Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver - or Victim of Changes. Or you could try their Peter Green/Fleedwood Mac cover: The Green Manalishi. Or off the same album: Delivering The Goods or Hell Bent for Leather. Other solid choices are The Hellion/Electric Eye, Screaming for Vengence, You've Got Another Thing Coming, Freewheel Burning, Jawbreaker or (of course) The Sentinel. I could go on for some time but I think that's enough so you can get a pretty good picture of them

[@jeffbaker662]

Iron Maiden - Where Eagles Dare is a great song. Loss For Words is one of their better instrumentals.

[@bigboycombo6342]

Where eagles dare is my favorite Maiden song. Good choice.

[@assafamir7949]

it's losfer words actually not loss for

[@edcummings2379]

Yeah buddy aces high or flight of Icarus too

[@sergioomar9090]

Hell yes!

[@orion3043]

You're insanely cool. Very wide taste in music! Just subscribed :)

[@kurtkrienke2956]

Steve's bass playing makes this so unique, the way it gallops is just so different and puts you in that frame of mind of charging into battle. Bruce of course is flawless as usual, Adrian's and Dave's solos are off the chain and Nikko knows nothing but the way forward on drums. These dudes are all time greats.

[@bruceroller9530]

You clearly have good taste bruh!👍

[@dougzilla2237]

Losfer words is an iron maiden instrumental.

[@DiverHoly1]

- Losfer Words - Transylvania - Genghis Khan My fav instrumental songs of'em. Also because of the fact that they got 2 lead guitarists, they do so much of 2(sometimes 3) guitar harmony riffs and cool solos on their songs wth vocals. So don't worry on instrumental sections when it's a Maiden song!

Bro. Lead singer's name is Bruce Dickenson. Really interesting dude (singer, fencer, commercial airline pilot, brewer, author). I saw a quote from him saying he saw his job in the band as the guy that had to take a whole big arena and make it seem like it was a small pub. He really does this in a live show. Looks like they are going to tour in 2019. You should go check them out.
