As I've said before, Iron Maiden has taught me more about history and poetry than I've ever learned in school. I got into them around 1982 and have been a huge fan since.

@@wiseomg Lol. You definitely weren’t a better student than me. I was a straight A student in honors classes. Iron Maiden didn’t teach me anything. But I will say this. Bruce Dickerson is one smart MF’er. I saw him on Celebrity Jeopardy twice, and he wiped the floor with the other two contestants, twice. And this was before they started really dumbing it down because they realized they were embarrassing the celebrities.

I really hope you dig into some of Maiden's deeper cuts, that's where their real gems are. Everyone only listens to Run to the Hills, The Trooper, Hallowed be Thy Name and Fear of the Dark, but Maiden's catalog is MASSIVE and their best songs are the ones most people never react to.

It is funny watching young folks react to all the great bands from my youth! I have been listening to Iron Maiden since I was about 11 years old in 1981, and I have been listening ever since, 42 years later!

In high school for the world history finals, the last part was to write an essay on any historical figure. It was 20% of your grade, you could get a total of 5 points for the essay. I memorized Alexander the Great and did the essay. The teacher was so impressed and gave me 10 points for the essay. Aced the test with 100.

Iron Maiden...Improving High School grades for 40 years.

According to Iron Maiden, the movie footage was from a Buster Keaton comedy movie from the silent movie era of the 1920's... the "pale-faces v. the Indians" battle was exaggerated for comic effect... it seemed to go well w/ the theme of 'Run to the Hills', which is about cowboys fighting the native American 'Indians'... Buster Keaton was huge star and movie maker back in the early 20th century. His comedies were hugely popular w/ the likes of stars of the day like Charlie Chaplin... Laurel & Hardy... and others from the 'silent movie' era where action sequences were essential without dialogue (cos sound was not available yet in movie theaters; musicians were hired to give movies a soundtrack w/ sheet music). Those movies are hilarious - Charlie Chaplin was one of my faves... he played the character of 'the Tramp' who walked in baggy pants, oversized shoes, a cane and a bowler hat, who would always make trouble. When movies came w/ sound in the 1930's, a lot of stars went out, because they didn't sound like their on-screen characters... Laurel & Hardy made the transition cos they sounded like they looked... but Buster Keaton did not. Charlie Chaplin's first movie w/ sound ('Modern times') was mostly silent, but had him sing a song in total gibberish 😂 He lampooned Adolf Hitler during World War II in the movie 'The great dictator' (w/ sound) portraying both a Jewish barber and a maniac dictator 'Adenoid Heinkel' (he resembled Adolf Hitler somewhat w/ his mustache).

Iron Maiden is one of my favorite bands for sure. They're awesome at taking history and putting music to it,as you've already pointed out. They do the same with poetry as well . As far as what song you recommend us to ask you to dig into it really depends on if you want to go back to there earlier songs like Running Free with their original singer Paul or one after that album like Aces high. You really can't go wrong tbh. Keep up the great work

Iron Maiden has been my favorite band since the mid 80. It's an interesting rabbit hole to go down because they're still making new music today and some of it's pretty damn good but very different from their earlier stuff. And since you're an Eminem fan, hopefully you checked out his Rock and roll Hall of Fame induction and speech. And speaking of that induction, there may be a Judas Priest song or two you may want to discover after going down the Metallica Megadeth and Iron Maiden rabbit holes.

Another great song by Maiden. The video features fight scenes from the 1923 silent movie The Uncovered Wagon, a parody on the movie The Covered Wagon, also from 1923. There ya go doll. \m/\m/

Read the song list off of their album "Live After Death." It's from early in their careers. All of their songs on it tell stories that have informational messages yet are less complicated than stuff from their later career. If you really want to learn something, do a live version of Rime of the Ancient Mariner. It is a 13 minute song that tells the story of Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem. The poem is covered in High School curriculum. (At least it used to be.) Read the lyrics beforehand, because they are hard to follow on a first listen. Up the Irons!

Tanisi nitisani ekosani nisim, the black and white footage is from some old comedy. I remember when I bought this album as a teenager and first heard this song I was surprised to hear my tribe mentioned, the Cree. It seems that it was the best choice for rhyming.

I knew this song before Guitar Hero/Rock Band but they had some bangers on there lol let's go!

Hope you’re having a amazing day!

Yes! You get it, too many people dont seem to understand the concept of emotion in music, these days the majority of people seem to want background noise. There are actually plenty of songs out there that make the point. Lady gaga, just dance, the level of emotion in that song perfectly reflects the title no point feeling anything, just dance like a robot! I haven't seen can I play with madness reviewed yet, other good and popular songs they did include wasted years, number of the beast, phantom of the opera, bring your daughter to the slaughter, seventh son of a seventh son, powerslave, 2 minites to midnight, and aces high, if I don't stop now I never will! I'm trying to think of the songs that haven't been done as much, thank you for not following the trends! You're the first person I've seen do run to the hills, anx hopefully you've got a few more surprises in store!

I still rock out tro that band at 55

For your future enjoyment, every track from peace of mind. Especially flight of icarus, and to tame a land

Iron Maiden are genius at story telling.

having only heard the chorus of this song, I never would've guessed it was Iron Maiden..although I've never knowingly listened to Iron Maiden..until now I guess..

I had that exact red Ibanez Destroyer 2 that he's playing. Best guitar I ever had!

I love the white strip in your hair. One of my favorite guitarists Alex skolnick from testament has the same thing

Note they di make songs like this. Lovebites was formed to bring back the Iron Maiden style of song writing. Check out Lovebites Swansong live with Chopin Intro.

Es una lindura esa pieza

My favorite band ever seen them twice don't know where the footage came from lol ,but I Love Maiden !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the perfect song for Thanksgiving time

Maiden literally taught history at a time when Mtelalheads were "dumb thugs". They went "Here's Alexander The Great in song. Also Egyptian Pharaohs. Fancy 'Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner'? In full?" And I, as a kid, went "Yes! Gimme more!" "Nuclear bombing of Japan? Vietnam War Vets PTSD? FENCING?" "Gimme!"

Fun fact about Iron Maiden: they lease their own Boeing 747 named Ed Force One, The plane can carry the band, crew and the 22,000 pounds of equipotent for each show. The pilot of the plane is their lead singer Bruce Dickinson. I think you should check out a live version of Fear of the Dark so you can see the crowd participation. The song was written by the bassist Steve Harris because he actually has a fear of the dark. Up the Irons!

Note in the song he refers to the Cree. They were a tribe in what is now Canada. They were woodlands Indians not plains Indians. They were also allies of and had friendly relations with French settlers. When the French lost their war with England Canada became part of England. Much of the wars against the Indians had no actual good guy bad guy sides. Just people with different interests. Plains Indians were nomadic and didn't own land but traveled follow the bison heard. The Dutch had a rule that any land purchased had to have records. The Brits pretty much took what they wanted.

I'm old, very old. For this big , big, great bands!!! My favorite forever

Glad! whatever the reason might be, you came back to listen to one of the sources, THANKS! UP THE IRONS!!!!!

Lots of it is old Hollywood footage where they actually didnt gaf about the animals. That's why now you see "no animals were harmed filming this movie" Wasn't always the case.

Phantom of the Opera should be your next Maiden reaction. Fair warning. Depending on which video, you might get a singer you're probably not familiar with.

This is the song that put Iron Maiden on the map no, they never got radio play only local TV stations at this time, PBS.

you know, I think we've finally found the song that Dennis from Sunny was born to harmonize to...

My favorite by them is Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but love Flight of Icarus, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, and Caught Somewhere in Time.

This is one of my favorite albums I hope you listen too the whole album thier really not a bad song on that

"The Trooper" is based on the Crimean War of 1854 and the battlefield of Balacklava

They use footage from the silent movie The Covered Wagon released in 1923..

This song wasn't about a specific historical event. It was written characterizing the plight of western expansion and also the plight of the Native Americans against what western expansion was doing to the lands. The movie clips were from a parody film, something that you would see in a Charlie Chaplain type piece.

The song documents the colonization of the Americas, first by Europeans and then by Americans, from the perspective of a Cree Indian and American cavalryman. The opening verse is from the perspective of the Cree, describing his troubles as the European Americans "came across the sea", bringing the Cree "pain and misery".[6][7] The song is written from both perspectives,[8] The second verse is from the perspective of a U.S. cavalry soldier, describing his involvement in the American Indian Wars, "chasing the redskins back to their holes". The third verse is not from the perspective of any single individual, and harshly condemns the effects of American expansionism on Native Americans, resulting in the "[Americans] raping the women and wasting the men", and "enslaving the young and destroying the old"

Aces High is my fav from Iron Maiden, but there are so many good ones.

Lilly Jane, I’ve been a Maiden fan since about 1989 (my sophomore year of high school), and it’s been great watching your reactions. Also, the Megadeth and Metallica reactions as well (especially Holy Wars!). To expand your metal-verse even further, the next legendary band you need to check out is Judas Priest, and your first reaction needs to be Painkiller. You won’t regret it! 🤘🏻

You should check out when the wild wind blows, good song

I wish that I could go back in time, and have history class, but with Bruce as the teacher. I would have paid far more attention to him.

About the video , let's say Iron Maiden has the true METAL spirit : making fun of themselves ! They are British so they have a good sense of Humour. . You will find that for instance in the scenes of old movie in other videos too : for instance can I play with madness or the number of the beast....

Man I remember the first time I heard this........83? I was 13 , yeah I'm old as shit. It was on MTV and I remember thinkin, damn that was great. Haven't changed my mind since........ and I've seen em live. Bruce is still decent although he's lost a step..... and Harris is still the most insane bass player I've ever watched in metal / rock.

Iron maiden got death threats for creating this beautiful tune

Iron Maiden used to use a lot of clips from old silly silent movies of the early 20th century in their videos.

This was a song about the plight of the Native Americans; their persecution of the White Man

for other great songs (and history lessons): Aces High, Where Eagles Dare, Alexander the Great. I dont know for sure where that footage is from but my guess would be some silent movie stuff from early 1900s (like 1920) Charlie Chaplin kind of material.

Iron maiden makes history fun! I suggest checking out empire of the clouds.

Love your reaction. How about Thin Line Between Love and Hate or For the Greater Good of God next? 😁

If you need another history lesson, check out "Aces High". It's about Spitfire pilots during the Battle of Britain in WW2. Very cool song.

Faded off after fear of the dark.. every album to that point, is a whole story.. Seventh Son is a great album.. try it.. :-))

Another song where the bass and drums sound like galloping horses, like you heard in The Trooper. Powerslave and The Duelist are two more i would suggest Clive Burr the drummer here, on the next album, and since it's been Nicko on drums

You really should do iron maiden the writing on the wall with the video from the newest album

THE LETTER FRON THE SONG SPEECH ON THE GENOCIDE AMERICAN INDIANS

the images are from early silent films

The "weird guns" you speak of is called the puckle gun, might have misspelled it I've been drinking

This was a story of Europeans coming over and taking the land from Native Americans at any cost. Great channel. You❤️

this music speaks of History you guys are chum

RIP CLIVE BURR

You should try some Tool (the pot, lateralus, 46&2) just choose one, this is really crazy

You have to check out The number of the beast, as it is an all time metal classic.

They always had catchy riffs such as I think a song of them probably nobody won't be able to do the phantom of the Opera they also have others but I'll list a little bit what I know and what I have on my own playlist number of the beast phantom of the Opera wrathchild there are others but I won't go off script

You should check out Annihilator-W. T. Y. D. It's an amazing thrash metal song(this band in general is amazing) Especially first two albums
