On the artwork for " Piece of Mind" Eddie the head (Ed/Eddie) Their mascot has scars on his head where someone has been playing around with his brain,...pieces of his brain,..aka Piece of mind 😜 Iron Maiden like to play around with words as their music has layers and great depth. A lot of their music is based on poetry, literature, and accurate history storytelling👍 Up the mighty Irons🤘

Maggie this isn't qla reaction request. Just check out these band on your own. Versailles Revenant Choir live And Aldious Spirit Black official music video. These are 2 Japanese Visual Kei Melodic Metal bands.

40 years later, I can still hear my mom's voice from downstairs: "Turn that crap down, or I ma coming up there!!!!". This song is singlehandedly responsible for at least 3 speeding tickets in my driving record. These guys are at the top of the metal tree. How much talent, passion, professionalism and virtuosity do you want on one stage?

Iron Maiden is still going after 48 years. Here's to a Golden Anniversary!

The galloping bass seriously does sound like horses running. Steve Harris is going crazy on this song.

"The Trooper" to me is THE Iron Maiden song. It's the song that best exemplifies what made me like this band. PIECE OF MIND is easily one of my top-10 all time favorite albums and has stubbornly remained on that list since the eighties. You said "It doesn't even feel like metal, honestly. It feels like rock-metal." Metal today means something different than it did back then. This was very heavy for it's time, despite being much more melodic than what passes for metal today.

Just pointing out: I got the impression you thought that the "Piece of mind" spelling was a mistake on Iron Maiden's part, but it is in fact a deliberate play on words. Tellingly, the album's original working title was "Food for thought" 🙂

R can be literal at first, then digs deeper....like a lot of those who come to rock and metal in their 20s and older, they assume at first that the directness of rap and pop are universal and have to learn that rock and metal use metaphor and directness equally for choice of interpretation and bigger picture perspectives

Never, but never pause in the middle of a guitar solo.

Charge of the Light Brigade, by the end of the charge my many times great Uncle Morgan was the highest-ranking commander, and he was far from a high-ranking officer at the start, his horse carried him through the battle, he took his war horse home and gave him a pampered life, buried him in the old family Cemetary at home after he passed away.

This song is musically, lyrically, and thematically perfect. It begins at a run, gallops to the end, and stops dead.

These guys knew how to put on a helluva show. I saw them 3x over the course of about 20 years, and each time they were simply outstanding. HUGE stage presence. Elaborate stage sets. Rock and roll, baby!!! ❤

Never stop during a guitar solo

No doubt Iron Maiden is one of the greatest heavy metal in the world. All members are very talented & energetic. 🔥 Up The Irons From India. 🤘❤️😇

This song comes from a poem that is also a true story.

Great reaction Maggie, this was Bruce's sophomore album after replacing Paul Di'anno. He hit the ground running with "The number of the Beast", and this showed that he didn't let up.

Bruce isn't called the human air raid siren for nothing 😊

Bruce always makes it look easy. It just comes natural to him.

The eighties had so many great vocalists in the rock genre - Bruce Dickenson, Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury, Geoff Tate, Klaus Meine, Ronnie James Dio, of course this is an incomplete list!

Classic 80s metal. Love it. We always enjoy rockin' Maggie!!

I'm so glad you did a reaction video of this song!~ We went and saw Iron Maiden every time they came to town!~ Peace and Rock On!~

I was only 13 when this came out, and it- along with Black Sabbath- led me to an appreciation of metal that endures to this day. Funny thing is, I and all my friends with similar musical tastes loved the school field trips to see Classical concerts. Apparently Bach and Mozart were head-bangers...

Iron Maiden was all about dueling guitars, harmonies and operatic vocals.

I know Trooper is a classic but if you want to hear Bruce's range, check out Flight of Icarus (the official video) off this same album. The end has one of Bruce's most epic screams, not to mention two more great guitar solos from Dave and Adrian.

They literally meant a “piece” of mind and not “peace”. Both are technically correct depending on the context. You can give someone a “piece” of your mind such as letting them know your feelings about something or you can find “peace” of mind meaning your content with your feelings.

Great reaction! Thank you so much for reacting to a young Bruce when he was in his prime. More iron Maiden? Yes please! Strongly suggest you listen to the official music video for Aces High.

The album is PIECE of Mind

Glad you finally listened to Bruce sing when he was younger!

One of my favourite metal band awesome love this song be a iron maiden fan for years now going to see them next summer for the fourth time hi Maggie from the UK x

I grow up and my first band i was falling in love with was "Iron Maiden"

My go to song from Iron Maiden classic epic love your reaction Maggie

If notice on the album cover they did a lobotomy on Eddie - so they took a "Piece of (his) Mind"

Saw these guy’s this year in Amsterdam it was a sick up the irons 🤘

Piece of mind refers to an actual removed part of the brain like a forced lobotomy

The energy is just insane on this one. The drummer needs so much love for this and Run to the hills. It seriously sounds like horses galloping

I'm amazed that Bruce Dickinson can leap off of an amp stack and run flat out across the stage holding an unwavering note with perfect breath control. Jumping up and down...same thing.

I'm 61, side note just got my black belt in BJJ, saw Iron Maiden over 40 years ago in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 great times, great concert.

Good for you my dear One of my Fav. Bruce songs And History about the Crieama War! And the Last charge of the Light Brigade

Maiden IS Maiden...Love the early ones...😂

Watch some live performances when Mr Dickison was in his late 40's or early 50's. He sounds just as strong, singing just as easily while running all over the stage. Oh and by that time he had taken the lessons and time that he was the lead piolet of the bands Jumbo Jet when they had to fly anywhere. Great talent and brains.

He is the best 👍💪👍 In every place on earth everybody knows The trooper👍💪👍💪

Now, imagine being in the back of an armored personnel carrier doing company attacks during this tune! Oh my misspent youth!

You’ll love Run to the Hills also!

Arguably the most Iconic metal song of all time!! Next to Judas Priest Maiden is just unreal!! Saw them live in 87" still remember that concert

Being a history nerd this band is in my wheelhouse

"give you a piece of my mind" is the wordplay for the album title. As in, having strong opinions and vocalizing them (often in an impolite manner)

Hi Maggie :) Great reaction as usual :) Suggestion: Kung of Pain by Loudness. I don't recall ever seeing a Loudness video on your channel. It's would be a giant bucket of awesomosity :)

Hi Maggie, IAN from England,So glad your listening to Lucy Thomas,she also sings with her sister Martha,there is also another artist,Putri Arriani,Simon Cowell went on stage and asked her for another song,she also does a BRILLIANT Whitney song, please please give her a listen,❤❤❤

I'm sure Piece of Mind is a pun, Maggie. As in peace of mind and give you a piece of my mind. Hope to see you react to Powerslave one day. Bruce sings a dying Pharaoh in character...

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.

Bruce is a superb front Man and singer. He's as well comercial pilot of Boing and expert in swordsmanship. He e en was with the British team. And you should pay attention to Steve Harris bass guitar. He is the band soul, so you can perfectly heat the bass sound

Piece of mind as in his mind is in pieces. It’s just a play on words

Intersting fact that the lead singer Bruce Dickinson is also a qualified airline pilot in his spare time and also pilots the bands tour aircraft a Boeing 747 called Edd Force One when the go on tour, you should also do a reaction video about the the Sabaton song Bismark I think you'd like it , keep up the good work 😀

Maggie, you are the female Daily Doug, yaaahhh 🤣🤣.

I always find this quite an emotional song. The insane levels of sheer bloody minded courage demonstrated by the Regiments of the Light Cavalry Brigade at Balaclava was a prequel to the slaughter in WW1 in a lot of ways. I think Harris did a superb job of building in the passion and thunder of a Cavalry charge, which is of course, where the courage comes from. The momentum, the galloping. If anyone is interested in the history of the charge and the battle it was part of and the farcical events that led up to it, I cannot recommend enough the late Cecil Woodham-Smith's :The Reason Why. It's out of Print but widely available and very readable. Mrs Woodham-Smith was an Irish Historian who was a wonderful writer and also wrote the most accessible histor of the Irish Potato Famine "The Great Hunger" She was a Doctor of History at the National University of Ireland and St Andrew's University, Scotland. She would have pointed out to the Dublin crowd that 1/4 of the men who charged the Russian Guns that day were Irishmen of the 4th Light Irish Hussars and the 8th Kings Irish Hussars.

They also have an animated version of this song with the animation being done by Camp Chaos (from memory). Actually that is how you spell Piece as in a part of a whole. IE Piece of Mind as in a Slice of Mind. Edit: From memory this is a song of the battle where the bronze cannons used for the Victoria Medals were captured.

No guns were captured at Balaclava. Well, not by the British, anyway; the Russians were able to carry 7 guns (12 pounders from HMS Diamond) away from the redoubts on the Causeway Heights. The cannons used as the source for the Victoria Cross were captured later, at Sevastopol.

The exact genre of metal is NWOBHM New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Or Just Maiden

You need to check out there live shows

2:25 It's entirely the wrong uniform, though. The British light cavalry of the time wore blue tunics; red would have been worn by the Heavies (who had, earlier in the day, driven off a sortie south of the Causeway Heights by the bulk of the Russian cavalry), but the buttons go too far down to make it practical on horseback, so we can't really say it's meant to be that. Although the Heavy Brigade did win their little scuffle with the bulk of the Russian cavalry south of the Causeway heights earlier in the day, in the least well known action of the battle.

Bands like Sabaton owe their entire existence to Maiden.

No. 'Piece of Mind' is the deliberate spelling of the album simultaneously implying 'give 'em a piece of my mind' and also a lobotomy. It is a pun don't ya know :D

Maggie, another great reaction, a couple of suggestions for you, as you liked this tune another version for you to listen to a young band from California called Liliac same song just a newer take on it. Also Iron Maiden were heavily influenced by the twin lead guitars of Thin Lizzy, you will have heard the hits but I'm suggesting you start with Emerald and then Black Rose both highlight the twin lead guitar.

hello maggie...thought you would like to see what a real cavlery charge looks like-this is 1917 Australian charge but same idea...

Bruce Dickerson and dio and bon Scott were the best singers of all time so all live great

A great review of a great song. A lot of people, at the time, did not like this video as, because it used scenes from the film, "Charge of The Light Brigade", they complained that as a number of horses died during the film's production, Maiden should not have used the footage. Either way, good or bad, it was a great video, I have actually seen Iron Maiden eight times over the years so have a good idea of what they can do. If you get to watch the live video of "Die With Your Boots On", which was filmed in Birmingham (NEC) in 1988. I was there!!! Granted, Maiden normally do Birmingham over two successive nights, so was it the first or second night? Who knows. I've tried to spot myself in the crowd towards the front, but as a blonde kid wearing a Maiden t-shirt, I didn't stand out.

You are !!!

Listen to their song - from here to eternity. Not their most popular song, but I would like your reaction)

Theyliterally mean a piece of mind

Hi Maggie, piece is intending to such as a piece of cake and it’s spelt right in UK English. Bruce has a high timbre naturally in his voice. I think you should look at videos of him singing live because he’s very great at storytelling. Bruce is a natural tenor Bruce when he speaks is quite bright sounding. Bruce still has a high timbre in his voice today despite having throat cancer in 2014. Bruce could never disrespect the military of the UK because he is a honorary group captain of the Royal Air Force, which he holds a pilots license and able to fly by 747 he is not rich enough to own one, but Bruce is a pilot by trade and flys band around when they on tour

Iron Maiden titled their 4th album 'Piece of mind' in 1983... the title also showcased a dark cover - their skeletal mascot 'Eddie the Head' was pictured chained in a straightjacket w/ a lobotomized skull in a padded cell... The band photo pictured the members seated at a table w/ a brain as the main course... Iron Maiden said they couldn't think of a better album title, but in the Cold War era and peace being a fragile state at the time... the title 'Piece of Mind' won out instead of 'Peace of mind'... 😂 On tour, the band would have a giant 'Eddie' walk out on stage during Iron Maiden's set... For the 1983 'World Piece' tour, they had 'Eddie' in a straightjacket and vocalist Bruce Dickinson would rip off Eddie's skull and kill the mascot. For Iron Maiden's 1984 album 'Powerslave'... 'Eddie' was resurrected as an Egyptian Pharoah and appeared as a bandaged mummy w/ a lobotomy visible on his forehead.

😝😝🤘🤘

iron Maiden are epic. They are metal bust on the softer side. They have so many good songs you can't go wrong. Number of the Beast is considered one of the best heavy rock/metal albums. Bruce was not their first singer and they had a more punk like sound on their first 2 albums but with Bruce their sound changed to something much more epic. Iron Maiden with Bruce are possibly the best metal band of all time. Bruce left the band in the 90s and Iron Maiden had a few lean years without him but he returned in 2000 and Iron Maiden are as good as ever.

Piece of mind it's spelled that way because it's not peace like Peace in the valley it's piece like piece of pie

Its spelled "Piece Of Mind" as in Piece Of Pie. Like a Piece Of His Mind.

“Piece” “peace” more than one spelling 😂

You should react to a band that covers this song. Liliac a family band of kids and teenagers, it could be the best cover of this song by anyone ever. You really owe it to yourself to check it out and thank me later. Also Bruce Dickenson the singer for Iron Maiden has a very operatic type voice and it shows throughout the catalog of Maidens music. Thanks for reacting to this Maiden classic. PLEASE check out Liliacs cover it will blow you away I promise.
