That sensation you mentioned of it feeling like you were riding those horses is thanks to Steve Harris superhuman galloping bass technique. He’s an absolute legend, 67 years old and still touring hard. Up the irons!!!

One of my favourites is: The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. It's a masterpiece. Live or studio, both versions are great. The studio version is cool because the sound effects are amazing, and the live versions are great because it's Iron freakin' Maiden, and they always kill it live.

Glad to se this video, on thing you already may known , Iron Maiden is a Band wich tells you an history in almost every song, they reach the perfect balance to be hard Metal and put your mind into an story who is connected with the emotions of the moment and rithm of the song. Is a characteristic pretty unique because many bands try to do something similar but not many really made it so well.

Another great history class from Iron Maiden. Check out the History and the famous poem.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Hallowed be thy name live performances are incredible

The Trooper is based on The Charge Of The Light Brigade from the Crimean war in the 1800s, hence the sense of horses galloping with that bass line and drums. The bit you stopped at with the words on screen about cannons is from the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Bruce Dickenson's voice is next level. This song is fantastic. His scream in Number of the Beast is iconic, you should listen to that next.

We are for the first two minutes in a song and drums player Nicko Mcbrain are just killing it with his awsome drumming skills , it's so good to see how the rest of the band tries to keep up with a drummer , such a energetic song 🤘🤘🤘 dear Bisscute make a reaction to Iron Maiden most iconic music hit called Halloweed Be Thy Name , you will love it for sure 🤟🤘

The Trooper!!!! "The Charge of the Light Brigade". That's the name of the story this song is based on. It's about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War between the United Kingdom and Russia. In short, the song is about a small cavalry brigade of about 600 men charging at the wrong enemy objective and sustaining heavy casualties. A lot of Iron Maiden songs are based on history and literature works.

In your own time, you should listen to Iron Maiden’s “Phantom of the Opera” It includes one of the best instrumental breaks/solos ever written.

My favorite Maiden song

Bruce Dickenson is amazing. He takes the sing to wail capabilities of Robert Plant and brings them into the current era. His ability to wail and provide such power yet such perfect enunciation is legendary. The song is basically written about the Crimean war era. The (su!cidal) charge of the light brigade. It's about honour and duty and bloody stupidity. Men's lives thrown away due to stupid decisions, honour and pride. A charge in the wrong place, with all the mountains holding gun emplacements pointed straight at them. It was the most savage and pointless part of the entire Balkan war, with huge casualties. For nothing but using their enemies ammuniton. "into the valley of death rode the six hundred" Every man there knew they were almost assured to die, but duty and honour required it... and so they rode.

You are 1 of a kind! Thanks for bringing us old school metalheads back to our youth. Im 58 years old now but still remember my first Maiden 🤘 concert in 1981. In fact I still have the ticket stub ( remember when we kept them like they were allgolden

"I like how it sounds like you're on a horse" Maiden are known for their galloping rhythm (one of the hardest English words to spell)

This is one of my favorite songs to play on bass ever. Steve Harris is just such a beast. One of these days, I'll get around to learning Number of the Beast by these guys.

Maiden is always best enjoyed live. You should do one of the more theatrical songs. Dance of Death, The Talisman, Pachendale or Book of Souls. 🤘

Hi cutie from Sheffield Yorkshire England WHAT A JOY TREAT WATCHING MY FAVOURITE PERSON ON THE PLANET REACTING TO 1 OF MY FAVOURITE BANDS ON THE PLANET ❤❤

I've heard this song more times than I can count and it never gets old. For a live song I'm going with Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams from Maiden England in 1988.

one minute to midnight,,,and somewhere in time and wasted years are a few of my favorite maiden songs

Hi Bisscute,other great songs by them:The Clansman(Live In Rock In Río),Afraid To Shoot Strangers,Flight Of Icarus,Can I Play With Madness?,Aces High,The Evil That Men Do,Be Quick Or Be Dead,The Number Of The Beast,The Clairvoyant,From Here To Eternity,Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.🤘

I've had THE TROOPER tattooed on my left shoulder blade since 1988

Love you!!! You did my second fav song of all time!!! FIRST? INTO THE VOID! BLACK SABBATH

Saw them live at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on their Tour 3-4 years ago! SUCH A BADASS TIME! Everyone was loud and going crazy, it was Electrifying :D Long Live Iron Maiden!

Some Maiden suggestions - Phantom of the Opera with Paul Di'anno on vocals, Powerslave, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Children of the Damned and The Clansman with Blaze Bayley on vocals.

I don't say this to many women but I find your accent mezmerizing. I could listen to you speak all day long.

This song was based on the poem The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson which tells of a military action undertaken by British light cavalry against Russian forces during the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War. A mounted a frontal assault against a Russian artillery. The cavalry brigade suffered terribly, with 118 men killed, 127 wounded, and about 60 taken prisoner.

Bisscute, where do I begin. I grew up as a Gen X. I have been a heavy metal fan all my life. I however have appreciated different kinds of music over the years. Iron Maiden has been my most fun bands to play as I love to play guitar. I would say that Adrian Smith was closer to my style and easier for me to relate to solo-wise. I can't think of a single album I dislike nor for composition, I cannot really tell you which one is the best. The number of the beast was a great album, this is the debute album fo this singer. You can definitely not go wrong with the number of the beast. In reality, you can't go wrong with any of them.

This was my FIRST official exposure to Iron Maiden back in 1984. It was the last song on a special metal compilation called Master Of Metal, and it was my favorite track on the whole album. A "Volume II" of the compilation was released the following year and that opened with another Iron Maiden track, Run To The Hills. Another winner! Soon after that, I obtained my first official Iron Maiden album, Powerslave, and my favorite track off that was the opener Aces High, and that album remains my favorite IM album to this day. You gotta love that "glunk! glunk! glunk!" gallop of the bass! Steve "`Arry" Harris! GREAT STUFF!

The last time I saw Iron Maiden live was the early 2000's. Rob Zombie opened for them. It was a really diverse show as far as concert goers go. Teens to grey haired old men. Some of them still rocking the long hair they did in the 70's and 80's

For Iron Maiden, check out these gems: The Number of the Beast, Wasted Years, Rime of the Ancient Mariner & Aces High. Also check out Queensryche: Jet City Woman, Best I Can, Queen of the Reich, & anything off of Operation Mindcrime album. And lastly, check out Steelheat: She's Gone & I'll Never Let you Go.

absolutely love Maiden! Highly recommend you check out the live version, Iron Maiden - Aces High (Live After Death 1985) specifically. Same amazing energy!

This song is based on the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem Charge of the Light Brigade. Which takes place in the Crimean War. Fought between Russia and the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey) where England, France and Sardinia (the island off of the West coast of Italy just south of the Island or Corsica) sided with the Ottoman Empire. The Charge of the light brigade occurred when the British attacked the Russians in the Battle of Balaclava.

Loved the reaction. My suggestion for the next Iron Maiden reaction is the number of the beast? As for something different. I love cello music. Two cellos. Despacito. And anything from lindsey Stirling. ( violinist).

Awesome another Iron Maiden song!😎😎😎

"Hallow be Thy Name" (live at Long Beach Theater) classic performance of a classic song

Iron maiden are professional metal artists

The lead singer actually flys their airplane from concert to concert

I love seeing the younger generation truly enjoying the great music my generation grew up with. It's rare these days to see much talent from the newer bands. There are some good ones but not many. For more from Iron Maiden anything is good. Others have made good suggestions. One of my favorites is Run To The Hills.

Awesome reaction again, I agree that Number of the beast is a must listen, also Run to the hills is terrific💖

All people pointing out the rhythm of song recalls galloping horses, which is true for drums and bass, but the twin harmonized guitars sound like... the Bugle at charge! No one catch this! 😁

there is also an official animated version of this song, from memory animated by Camp Kaos (although I could be wrong about that)

Iron Maiden 👍🔥🎸📢🎶 Cool reaction,Bisscute ❤️🤓 Please,more reactions on Iron Maiden and Metallica.

The black and white footage is from the film Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) and depicts the real life Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean war in which British cavalry charged Russian cannons. Also for the film to make the horses fall down they tripped them with wires which resulted in horses becoming hurt so badly they had to be put down on the spot.

"The Trooper" is about the Battle of Balaclava (1854) during the Crimean War (1853-1856), specifically about the Charge of the Light Brigade. Alfred Lord Tennyson, then Poet Laureate of the UK, wrote his poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" in 1854 shortly after the battle. A British light cavalry brigade (the six hundred) charged a Russian artillery battery and suffered a nearly 50% casualty rate (dead and wounded). It's where the English expression, "Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die." comes from. Many replace "theirs" with "ours". "Trooper" is what a soldier in a cavalry unit is called, at least in English.

My first maiden show was July 1982. Number of the Beast tour....I just saw them last year for the 40th anniversary of that tour!

"O o o o o o o o o" - great lyrics. Just kidding, I love this song and it is about one of those events from our history that Iron Maiden are so good at putting to music. So I will recommend "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" by them, it's a fantastic song about the atomic bomb.

By the way, look at that lightshow. Awesome. You would barely find something like that today. Well, probably at a Maiden show. Up the Irons! 🤟

Yep, they have rightly their status in music history and are pioneers for many generations to come. For example, also for Nemophila who have a cover of exactly this song on their channel, which I can only recommend to you. :) _____________________ 「 _Look inside the mirror of you. Can you say now is the best of who you are?_ 」--- *Nemophila* 'RISE' 💮

If you haven't done Aces High yet, its one of my favorites. My son was playing GTA when it first came out listening to the radio in the car. I was watching him play and this song came on and I'm rocking out. He says"mom you don't this song!" 😂😂😂Oh man, that was classic❤❤

It’s about the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava in thee Crimean war of 1854

Love the old Maiden. My fave album would be a constant change between everything released in the 80's but Somewhere in time from 86 is really fantastic. Long Distance Runner and Alexander the Great is just good music. Bruce Dickinson is impressive, i'd loved to step into a airplane one day and hear "Hello, my name is Bruce Dickinson and i'll be your captain for this flight" Timeless - all of it.

I think it's generally accepted, even among other metal bands (who aren't a shy and retiring bunch in public as a rule) that when Iron Maiden are on form, no-one else can touch them.
