Although I grew up in the 70s and 80s, I wasn't into metal and I never went to see Iron Maiden, though they came to town many times. Some time after 2000 my young nephew - a metal head, and god only knows where he got that from - was ready for his first concert, and Iron Maiden were doing a retro tour at the time, so I got us some tickets. I was never a fan, but I'll admit it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Bruce is a consummate performer and one hell of a vocalist. When my nephew's younger brother was ready for HIS first concert, I made sure to wait until Iron Maiden came around again, and neither of us were sorry for it.

[@Shannon-58]

Yes they are very smart and talented musicians. Love these guys. 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@lisaray9944]

Written by bassist and founding member Steve Harris, 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 poem of the same name.

[@timothybarry6418]

What Lisa did not say, is that The Charge of the Light Brigade was a cavalry charge, where cavalry was a horseback division of an army. The charge was lightly armed cavalry up against an artillery position where the artillery was on higher ground. The charge was ordered by the CO on the field after a communications SNAFU and was basically a suicidal run into crossed artillery fire. At the time it was one of the British army's biggest millitary blunders! At some point thereafter, some of the Russian canons were taken. Those canon are used to this day as the raw materials used to forge Victoria Cross medals. Those medals are the equivalent of the USA's Medal of Honor...

[@karlsmith2570]

What Lisa also neglected to mention is that Steve Harris is also the principal songwriter for Iron Maiden

[@guillaumemugnier249]

One of the best heavy metal bands to grace the earth. Iron Maiden are talented and intelligent. Their lyrics are mostly about history and historical events. The singer, Bruce is also a commercial pilot. The band has their own plane and Bruce flies them to their gigs. Bruce does double duty flying the plane and being the lead singer!

How either of you could never have heard of Iron Maiden is almost incomprehensible, they are one of the most Iconic metal bands in the history of metal music and a staple of mine and millions of others around the world. The godfathers of metal that are right up there with Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. Their singer is one of the best ever and is also their airline pilot, yes he flies their tour Jet!

Just imagine you were only exposed to heavy metal all your life then in your mid 20's someone played Charlie Daniels Band for you and you said you never heard of them, that would be incomprehensible to everyone else. We all live in our little bubbles until we break free, some sooner than others.

[@arodz21]

The war it's describing in the song is Crimean War in 1854. It describes a British charge on the Russian army. Iron Maiden are a British band through and through and most of their writing is told through British eyes. Go through their catalog and you'll find MANY historical events in their songs. i.e. Alexander the Great, The Clansman (about William Wallace), Paschendale, Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, The Longest Day; just to name a few.

[@mack1305]

[@BigDaddyMagic]

Glad you guys enjoyed your first taste of ‘Maiden! Here’s the info you asked for: The Trooper was written about the infamous “Charge of the Light Brigade” incident that occurred during the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War in 1854. Iron Maiden’s lead vocalist is Bruce Dickinson who truly is “one of the most interesting men in the world”. In addition to fronting ‘Maiden, he’s a licensed jumbo jet pilot (pilots the band’s tour jet himself), a world-class fencer, is building a full line of ‘Maiden branded beers, and has his own personal WWII tank collection.

[@OaktownPirate510]

Sad fact about the Charge of the LIght Brigade (light horsemen with long lances like ancient knights); They were given a fucked up orders to charge their horses at a Russian position that was all canons, and well defended. They knew it was a suicide mission,but orders are orders and cowardice is not an option. That’s the line about “The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath, as we plunge them into certain death!”

Blood Brothers. The Clairvoyant. Paschendale. Wasted Years. Infinite Dreams. 2 Minutes to Midnight. Can I Play With Madness? The Evil That Men Do. Powerslave. Heaven Can Wait. Speed of Light. If Eternity Should Fail.

That was an outstanding reaction!! I'm an Iron maiden fan since 1982. Congrats! Welcome to metal world!! Salute You!!

[@johnflores5286]

My ALWAYS AND FOREVER FAVORITE BAND...... LOVE THE REACTION

[@shannonwoods2413]

Your next Iron Maiden reaction video needs to be "Wasted Years"...and the art creature or monster if you will, is their mascot named 'Eddie"

[@britishrocklovingyank3491]

EDDIE FOREVER!!!!! Love that fucker.

[@xanthiabevan2464]

I've had the pleasure of seeing them perform this song live and it's literally the best moment of my life.

[@vinceviselli3805]

Rob Squad you guys are sooo cool :) thanks for listening to one of my favorite bands :)

[@retro-robbo]

Much love from the UK. Big Iron Maiden fan here and long haired rocker, this reaction video brought me to your channel and in 2 days I think i have gone through majority of your reaction videos. You're such an infectious couple, from Jay's passion to Amber's welcoming angelic smile. Totally dig you guys. Check out Iron Maiden's "Running Free" and "Ace's High"

[@CreepyNeighbor666]

Iron Maiden often has this "galloping" rhythm in their music which is mostly Steve Harris' bass since he's probably the best at it of his generation. The band is 40 years old so there's a lot to uncover. Like most bands that last this long, their best music was from their beginning in the 80s and 90s. I'm not crazy about their albums past the 2000s personally. You should react to Wasted Years, Aces High, Hallowed be Thy Name (live), or Fear of the Dark (live in Rio)

[@MJP_985]

i always thought the bass gallop was especially appropriate here, really drives the cavalry charge imagery.

[@suprchickn7745]

Wasted Years is a perfect follow-up!

[@JWilks-lk7th]

Maiden were going over 50years ago fella. My dad used to watch them playing pubs in East London before I was born (71)

[@wesbates1143]

@@JWilks-lk7th Iron Maiden was formed on Dec 25th, 1975.

[@JWilks-lk7th]

@@wesbates1143 I stand corrected . Or my old man's full of shit 🤣. He did say they were under a different name then though. I'll ask my younger brother ,he knows Steve .

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Wait until you hear "Hallowed be thy name" and "The Number of the Beast" to name two of many songs.

[@raycab1]

you can binge listen to iron maiden for days without stopping. Keep up the good work in keeping your mind open to all different music.

[@mikeellis3240]

I absolutely loved how both of your heads went back in surprise when the vocals came out and you two looked at each other with raised eyebrows and big smiles. Bruce Dickinson is the singer. Very talented besides being a singer, he fences, he’s a pilot, he’s a scholar. This band has always had 2 guitarists and sometimes even 3. The bassist Steve Harris is one of the Top 3 Bassists of All Time. The drummer is amazing as well. Check out the songs Run To The Hills, The Number Of The Beast, Revelations, Aces High, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Wasted Years, Can I Play With Madness, Fear Of The Dark live in Chile’ I believe. Thanks guys. Love you both and your reactions. Keep on cranking them out.

[@acyour]

The great thing about this band every song has a story about it. Aces High is my favorite. And it is about the Battle of Britan.

[@caryd.5342]

What a way for you to experience GREATNESS...by far their greatest song. Just close your eyes and point at the collection. Iron Maiden IS an experience. Enjoy every second from the beginning to the latest...

[@MrDrullen]

Your pace of learning new music us, inspiring, keep it up.

[@kcburns94]

Interestingly... this is exactly what it sounds like in concert. Absurd amount of talent!

[@Spiritbro77]

This was at a time when metal singers had to actually sing not just growl and scream incoherently at max volume. Bruce Dickenson was a very good singer and frontman for Maiden. I saw them many times in concert and was never disappointed. Great band.

[@feedback791]

ain't nothing wrong with growling.. technically speaking scream signing and screaming - growling is way harder

[@dkaulitz13]

@@feedback791 agreed

[@Jay-br9ee]

100% about the singing part. Bruce Is a great singer even when he is screaming he is great! Madien is a very very good band. Bruce has one of the best voices ever in my opinion! Its very recognizable

[@Spiritbro77]

@@feedback791 Sure, if you want every band to sound the same growling incoherently is perfect. Plus, you never have to write any lyrics because no one could understand a single word anyway... perfect for talentless front men who literally CANT sing.

[@feedback791]

@@Spiritbro77 thats literally so wrong..You clearly havent heard any metalcore or deathcore..Technically speaking, engaging your false cords and growl is somethigg really really hard..Its not ''just screaming'' and it takes years of practice, just like regular singing, but most musicians say screaming and growiling is harder..Also idk about you but i can listen to the lyrics just fine, you must be deaf lol

[@honkenbonker]

Kind of surprised you've never seen anyone wearing an Iron Maiden tshirt. I still see kids walking around in them now and then, makes me smile to see people are still connecting with that music, it was a big part of my teenage years back in the 80s.

[@frankie467]

I have a hard time buying they have never heard of Iron Maiden before yet alone never saw a shirt of the band. Have to be living in a deep hole for that to happen.

[@DGinNC]

Iron Maiden is like the Metal version of opera. Enjoy, it grows on you, I wasn't a fan when I was younger, now they're one of my favorite bands.

[@smbake]

My very first concert Summer going into high school in '85 and still the best show I've seen. Best live band ever.

[@bunnylayton3419]

I'm so happy you guys did an Iron Maiden video! I grew up on Maiden, seen them live 3× and each time was a whole other experience from the last. I can definitely attribute their music to my love of history, mythology, poetry and literature. Their stage preference is spectacular, lead singer Bruce Dickinson said in an interview once that you have to make the person all the way at the back of the arena feel as if they are in the front row and they certainly do! I also have to highly suggest Alice Cooper for another video "Billion Dollar Babies".

[@kenbongaards554]

i'm kinda the same as well,on several occasion i've been asked what college/university i'm from and you should see the look on their faces when i tell them i only have a grade six education and get that from listening to maiden!!up the the irons!!

[@somersetcace1]

You started with a really great song of theirs. I'm personally an old school Iron Maiden fan. Not as much of a fan of their later stuff, but regardless where you go with them, you must hear "Phantom of the Opera."

[@kgunitkeese17]

Not only are you getting a great show from Iron Maiden, you’re also getting a history lesson.

[@paultucker9753]

this is why I enjoy and follow you!

[@RESET1776]

Child of that era, this was near the top for tracks in the car when running behind & playing catch-up on the road.

[@nem447]

You can not react to Iron Maiden without doing the seminal *_"Hallowed be thy Name"_* Live 1982.Without bias, it's considered one of the greatest Heavy Metal songs of all time! it strongly influenced later developments in the genre.

[@geoffm9924]

It's based on the charge of the light brigade who went in on horse back which is why the bass line is like a running horse.

[@mack7415]

I've been rocking with them since I was 14 yrs old man...... They are very talented and their music always has a message. Much love for giving them a chance and seeing what real music is all about- Bruce Dickson is a massive voice that can take you on a journey man

[@kenbongaards554]

likewise UP THE IRONS!!!

[@j0hnn13K]

Maiden are legends, great on record but amazing live. So in that respect i suggest picking live performances as much as possible when it comes to this band :) There are so many songs to suggest, Hallowed be thy name, Alexander the Great, 22 Acacia Avenue, Aces High, Run to the hills, Powerslave.... the list is endless, and thats no joke. Enjoy the journey of Iron Maiden :)

[@maingun07]

Congratulations on discovering one of the most influential bands in metal history. Iron Maiden is to metal what the HMS Dreadnought is to battleships. They didn't invent metal, they reinvented it. Many catalog metal as pre-Maiden and post-Maiden. Enjoy the ride!

[@dflo4165]

Bruce Dickinson is the lead singer, and has a commercial pilot’s rating. In 2008 he flew their own 757 (named Ed Force One) for 50,000 miles to 13 counties in 45 days to perform 23 shows for a half million fans. That included India, Australia, North and South America. People from Costa Rica got to see them, some also quit their jobs and traveled to see the Rio concert too! The place was packed beyond belief! Maiden is a world renowned band! Ed is the skeleton looking dude on all their album covers and the band’s mascot.

[@jrlonergan6773]

Saw this song played live when I was 16 and can't get enough!

[@tinywife8070]

oh you have came across the history teachers of metal bit of advice always always listen to them live even better than studio !!!!!! hope you do more xx

Next maiden song could be “ rime of the ancient mariener” another song based on a poem.
