The lyrics are written from the viewpoint of an english pilot during the Battle of Britain (1940), so that where you get all the action, like scrambling to get off the ground, evading German planes, and fighting not only for England but for your life.
Tommy did an amazing job with this song, one of his best covers. If you think you judged Iron Maiden too harsh and care to check them out, I suggest their song Hallowed be Thy Name. I think you might enjoy it, and more Tommy, of course. Btw, that "kid" is 35 years old, even though he looks 18 😂
Its about dogfights or airfights from WWII the battle of Britain, and Tommy going all in on this one. He is a world class singer and guitarist, a very good keyboardist and bassplayer and a good drummer, that is top notch!
Team Tommy checking in from the California desert! Love that you've continued to enjoy Tommy Johansson! We know rock isn't your go-to genre...but by now, you should trust that Tommy will make you a fan! He releases a new cover every Fri...you just missed Go The Distance by Michael Bolton from Hercules!
Hey Amy ! Yes Tommy is definitely making me a fan and I’m really opening my mind more to rock thanks to the subscribers 😊. Yes Tommy is on it with his releases. I’m trying my best to keep up 😅
Kaireem, you know I'm one of them who is always happy to see you react to Tommy ( and Sabaton, Geoff or VoicePlay). How brave of you, to take on a song you feared would be out of your comfort zone. How lucky that wasn't the case in the end. Sometimes duty brings it's own reward. Subjectmatterwise (is that a word?) it's content is something one might expect Sabaton to cover, flying aces in the WWII, but it's really not their style of music, as I feel it.Tommy on the other hand, is perfect for both guitar solos and voice getting up there. Channel keeps growing I see. Keep up the good work. That guitar is one of his newest. That man keeps adding to his collection. In an answer to a comment he said he had about 30 guitars. Figure that number is closer to 35 by now. Yes, that Kee Marcello yellow one both looked and sounded beautiful. Jimi Hendrix's habit of wrecking his guitar on stage makes me wonder how many survived his too early demise. Must be highly collectable and expensive if there are any out there still existing.
@@carinarodebak9419 And there must be like 2-3 guitars left from him because he died all of a sudden from a combination from alcohol and many sleeping pills in London while on tour, think his family got them if not anyone snatched them.
Carina you beautiful person thank you 🙏🏾. Yes this was totally out my comfort zone but just as you said it didn’t make me dislike it. I loved Tommy cover and he smashed it ! One of the best covers I’ve heard from him. Oh okay thanks for the knowledge - makes a lot more sense now. I’m surprised people can keep up with the amount of guitars but I really liked this one. Yes I got the yellow one wrong 😅 (as in the name) but I love the style of guitars he’s got. 30 tho!! 🤯. Thank you carina for a lovely comment
I like your reactions. You make me smile. All we want each day is a single true smile. Try, Aeryon, the day that the world breaks down. I think you will enjoy. All the best from Sydney.
Hi Kareem! Are you still having that cold? You need to see a doctor man! 🤧 Just like you, I think this is one of the best cover Tommy has done! It's about flying an military aircraft, so thats why he shouts "ROLLING!! DIVING!!" (since you wondered what those words referenced to). Unfortunatly I have to correct you on the yellow guitar: it's not an Jimi Hendrix guitar it's a Kee Marcello. But still legendary! Thank for a good reaction video 👍
Welcome to metal. 😊. You werent rude at all, just staring your taste. Seems like you might like power metal. Check out more from Iron Maiden. My personal favorites are Fear of the Dark and Powerslave.
Just keep this in mind. If you decide to to go down the Maiden rabbit hole you'll never be the same. They are also the kings of live performances. So in advance "if you should choose to accept the challenge of Iron Maiden" welcom to the Maiden family. 🤟😎🤟
@@jimharris367 wow man that’s where I’m from !! (Bristol) I wouldn’t of expected someone so close to me to be checking out my channel. A lot of my viewers (especially for Tommy) are American. Appreciate you checking me out bro !

Oh I see that makes more sense now thank you 😊
I never could've guessed! Thank you, Johannesson! 👍

Tommy brushes his teeth in The Fountain of Youth!
I totally agree! This was 100% one of his best covers 🔥. I believe I may of heard of that song 🤔. Let me note this down. What! 🤯… he looks so young
Iron Maiden? Hm... Sorry. No. Because of _these guys_ I'd never listened to Metal (until Tommy came - in April -23)

Thanks for explaining 😊. I totally agree! Tom is a one man band and he destroyed this cover 🔥

The light by Tommy is fire
I agree .. the 20th anniversary version is amazing AND his own original..also ticking the box “go higher”🤣
We has released a lot of new covers so I will note this down 😊

A guitar from Hendrix would be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds or dollars. The most expensive guitar ever!
@@KentLundberg-vb9hb I believe we are talking millions in that case. The Gary Moore original one that Kirk Hammet has, I believe, went very,very high.
@@carinarodebak9419 Could be I never seen one sold. And you are right he smashed or burned a lot of guitars.

I seriously think he has a deviated septum or he's allergic to...everything! I've "mommed" him about this too!

Thank you for understanding 😊. Okay let me make a note and see what I can do
Just awesome!!!🔥🤘🔥
Just keep this in mind.
If you decide to to go down the Maiden rabbit hole you'll never be the same.
They are also the kings of live performances.
So in advance "if you should choose to accept the challenge of Iron Maiden" welcom to the Maiden family.
🤟😎🤟
I’ll have to consider it 😊. Thank you
so next one would be raise me up 1 octave challange.... and be amazed...
Iron Maiden is a million miles from screamo, you should check them out, they're legends and stupidly talented 🤘
My assumption are definitely wrong then 😊. Let me see what I can do in the next coming weeks
@@jimharris367 they are legend tbf ! And Bristol ?? England Bristol ?
@@KaireemReactions absolutely England Bristol, I live just down the road from there!
@@jimharris367 wow man that’s where I’m from !! (Bristol) I wouldn’t of expected someone so close to me to be checking out my channel. A lot of my viewers (especially for Tommy) are American. Appreciate you checking me out bro !
@KaireemReactions no worries bud, I actually used to live in Bristol in the 80's, but now I'm in sunny Weston-super-mare 😎
Don't know how old you are but this "kid" Tommy is 35 yo😆
I’m 28 but Tommy does not look 35 😅. Wow ! He looks incredible
I am telling you brother, if you enjoyed this period please check out Metallica one.
Maybe chris … I’ll have to think about it
