The one regret so far is , I haven't seen Maiden live. Grew up with them in the 80's. These guys got in me into metal, then moved onto Megadeth & Metallica & the thrash scene
Don't know what rock I was living under, but I've never heard this song before....and my life's definitely better now that I have, lol. What an amazing rush! I'm in total agreement with everything Nick and Ryan said. Drum heaven, and those guitars were galloping so intensely and so fast, even the horses couldn't keep up.
@@MorganAllison-bt9rn Thanks for asking, Morgan. Though I'd heard maybe two or three songs by them before watching this reaction, I've listened to several more that sub jgsrhythm100 mentioned...and let's just say that there's no question why Iron Maiden is considered one of the OG's of metal, lol. I'm hooked. Keep galloping.
This, for sure, is my favorite out of all the Iron Maiden you brought before! For all you guys said and more. I could totally hear this in video games... Love all your variety of music!!!
Fantastic reaction, thanks.👍 With many Iron Maiden songs you get an accurate history lesson. The Trooper tells the account of a British soldier in the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War. Lord Cardigan led the British cavalry against Russian forces during this battle on 25 October 1854. Lord Raglan had intended to send the Light Brigade to prevent the Russians from removing captured guns from overrun Turkish positions. However, there was miscommunication in the chain of command and the Light Brigade was instead sent on a suicide mission charging straight at heavy Russian artillery which cost the lives of around 300 British soldiers. Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote a poem to commemorate this disaster and he called it "The Charge of the Light Brigade". The bronze that the recaptured guns were made from was used to make the Victoria Cross, a military medal of the very highest order that was awarded "for valour" and designed by Queen Victoria herself. Very few of these have ever been awarded, even to this day. I've been a Maiden fan since hearing their debut album on cassette in 1980 when I was 10 years old. I've seen them live every time they've played in London, their home ground and mine, and they never disappoint. Up the Irons!!!
I saw this tour, summer 83 Cape Cod Colloseum, Fastway opener !! My favorite from this album is " Revelations".now that's one that should be reacted to!! In fact the entire album all bangers!!
That galloping pace is held-down by Mr. Steve Harris, the bass guitarist, main backup vocalist and chief songwriter/mastermind of Iron Maiden. 🤘🏻🐻🤘🏻 He was very much influenced by Pete Way of UFO, whose legendary galloping bassline drove "Lights Out" from the 1977 album of the same name, a song y'all should ALSO do on here!! You guys still have SO MUCH Iron Maiden to do, but next should be "Run To The Hills," followed by "Children Of The Damned" followed by "Flight Of Icarus."
I remember Iron Maiden as a child with a bright cover of a devil with long claws on his hands. I like the vocals, guitars, riff, the songs are good for live.
This was among the first albums I bought . I remember buying Piece of mind, Last in Line and I think Stay hungry when I was a kid. My all time favorite Maiden song is on this album called "Still life."
You guys know the first two records were not Bruce. It was Paul DiAnno. Bruce joined on third record Number of the Beast which was the late Clive Burr on drums. This was Nicko’s first record as drummer on Piece of Mind.
Don't forget Blaze Bayley later on. I like them both and various songs from their "eras" but the music they made with Bruce was during their peak. Strange World with Paul is still one of my favourite metal ballads and songs from them. Just blissful. Hope they guys will listen to it someday.
maybe my favorite songs in this era (1980-1984) are "Phantom of the Opera", "Killers", "The Number of the Beast", "Hallowed be thy Name", "To Tame a Land", "Aces High" & "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". let's give it a try ;)
This is kne of my favorite maiden songs but another great drumming on Ark Of Suffering by Tourniquet Official video by the late Ted Kirkpatrick from their debut album Stop The Bleeding 90
They were probably inspired by watching The Lone Ranger with its galloping them music. ('William Tell Overture' Italian Gioachino Rossini for the opera 'Guillaume Tell' in 1829) Everything sinks into the subconscious as kids and will eventually come out in songwriting. I can't think of any 'galloping' music before that piece.
It was the first Maiden album i bought when I was a teenage, the face i did when I was listen where eagles dare and i kept this smile today when I heard it 😁🤟
Top 15 Iron Maiden songs: 1) Rime Of The Ancient Mariner 2) Powerslave 3) Hallowed Be Thy Name 4) Phantom Of The Opera 5) The Trooper 6) The Number Of The Beast 7) 22 Acacia Avenue 8) Moonchild 9) Stranger In A Strange Land 10) Revelations 11) 2 Minutes To Midnight 12) Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son 13) Only The Good Die Young 14) Alexander The Great 15) The Evil That Men Do
I would have a different order but most of them are top notch. I would put Children of the Damned, Strange World, Die With Your Boots On, Innocent Exile and Aces High.
I saw iron maiden back in the number of the beast tour. There is a contest and me and my girlfriend won the contest first prize and we met them. They were super cool. Bruce can sing 🎶. (Wasted years )next 👍
I love iron maiden, I do, but before iron maiden, before metallica, there was JUDAS PRIEST from 1970 onward formed the best double guitar greats y'all got to do more priest great reaction guys
Piece of Mind was an absolute classic album, arguably one of Iron Maiden’s best. The Trooper is great but Revelations, Flight of Icarus and To Tame a Land are even better. Worth a listen! (And they’re not all ‘galloping’ songs either)
@@kittiecoast Strangers In The Night is one of the great live albums and I think Cherry is one of the quintessential rock songs. On the tabletops she's dancing Sit and smile into your beer Turn around oh Cherry for me Let me know you know I'm here That's probably one of the greatest verses ever written. 😂
The song is, actually, based-on Tennyson's famed poem: "The Charge Of The Light Brigade" (which took place at the battle of Balaklava -Yes, the term "balaclava" for a "full head facemask"-type "hat," or whatever, came from the name of this neighborhood.-), during the Crimean war. The British and French were allied with the Ottoman Empire (and I believe there was at least one other party ...maybe 2, also in the alliance🤷- I am not recalling all of the details, right now. Apologies). Anyhow: "The Charge Of The Light Brigade" (the event. the circumstances. ....) was, essentially, fatal and the British lost the battle, but Tennyson made the events legendary and 'a representation of bravery and loyalty;' which was (and maybe, still, is🤷 - I have no idea) taught and reiterated in British schools and homes. I have always preferred (no: ONLY liked, actually) the Paul Di'Anno version of Iron Maiden (the first 2 albums). 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I have to give it up to Number Of The Beast because Clive Burr is still around (And that is NOT to dis. Nicko McBrain! Nicko is a great player!). ...but for me: Maiden without Di'Anno or Burr is a limp, wet, noodle.
@@dawnpatrol700 No. I don't "deny" him. I, simply, prefer the Di'Anno era songs and style. ...and, after all: Dickinson was hired, basically, because he could recreate the "Killers" yelps/screams! 🤘🤘 ... Dickinson is great at what he does. It, just, generally: isn't for me. That's all.
@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra there was a teenage angst type of punk energy, that they lost immediately with Bruce. Running Free and Sanctuary are examples of the type of music they would never do going forward. Prodigal Son and Strange World, also. In those days, i bought everything Paul-related, the running free / burning ambition 45, all the uk12inchers, Paul's 84 solo and Battlezone. Speaking of UK 12inchers - the live version of " I've got the fire" is total punk, I would never guess that's Iron Maiden, and an example of how much they changed after Bruce. That being said, I like their post-Paul stuff, just not as much
@@metal1sgod833 Yes, it was Nicko. Clive had left the band: "In December 1982, drummer Clive Burr ended his association with the band due to personal and tour schedule problems and was replaced by Nicko McBrain, previously of French band Trust, as well as Pat Travers and Streetwalkers.[1] Soon afterwards, the band went to Jersey to compose the songs, taking over the hotel Le Chalet (as it was out of season) and rehearsing in its restaurant. In February, the band journeyed for the first time to the Bahamas to record the album at Nassau's Compass Point Studios. Recordings were finished in March, and the album was later mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York City."
If you like the singer’s voicce his name is Bruce Dickinson. He left Iron Maiden and made some great music. Check out his songs Arc Of Space and Man Of Sorrows. They are very different than this but I think you’ll enjoy them. ✌️❤️🤘
Love it. 🤘🤘 please do Flight of Icarus. If not any song off of the first two albums. One day in grade 11 the power was out when we got to school. Everyone turned and walked/drove away. Ended up being the first day I smoked a joint and first time I heard Maidens album Killers. One of the best days of my youth. The best is you usually get duelling solos. FYI. Bruce does not sing on the first two albums. To me Paul Di’Anno is my favourite. He is more punk than theatrical.
You mentioned Maiden wouldn't be the same without Bruce. Paul DiAnno was the previous vocalist, I must recommend their signature track 'Iron Maiden' and 'Running Free' both from the debut self titled album.
Guys you really need to react to The Warning again: "Sharks", "Queen of the Murder Scene", "Evolve", any song live, u must see how far they´ve gotten since you last reacted to them!
You need to see and listen to "Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner [Flight 666 DVD] HD" It is an experience like no other 😍 Lots of love from Sweden 🙏🥰✌👊
Guys, if you haven't heard the album version of Alexander the Great you're really missing out. ;) But yeah, the Trooper was the first Maiden song I've heard and like it to this day. They have better songs though. :)
Love Maiden but they always get credit for duel guitar harmonies and galloping drums when groups like thin lizzy, Judas Priest, and UFO to name a few were doing it years before Maiden
Heres the official live version from when that song was fresh back in 83 in Dortmund where u see more of the band n crowd interaction th-cam.com/video/4b4C8TfEY7k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=icLMALf4smOwSwcs
Speaking of "The Greats", after Iron Maiden, maybe it's time to get back to some Queen. A lot os suggestions to make, but i'll choose two: "Liar" (studio or Live at The Rainbow, 1974) for a heavy earlier Queen, and "One Year of Love", for a different side of the band that I think Ryan, specially, will enjoy.
If you check out Rossini's William Tell Overture (finale 1829) uses that same galloping type of rhythm, which was used in the old Lone Ranger TV show (1949-1957) th-cam.com/video/p9lf76xOA5k/w-d-xo.html
The Trooper is great, but it's not even in my top 20 best Maiden songs. There are 3 or 4 better songs on this same album alone. That's how good their catalog is.
Iron Maiden were by far the best Metal concerts... ever.
The one regret so far is , I haven't seen Maiden live. Grew up with them in the 80's. These guys got in me into metal, then moved onto Megadeth & Metallica & the thrash scene
Saw them 12 times.. best concerts I've ever been too. By far.
@@ForzaMilan-di2zd Theyre still going at it, and still sound awesome seen them two weeks ago
@@alexsimmons5034 I keep going to Muse concerts. Which r in real. Go see them live as well. U won’t b disappointed
Caught Somewhere in Time. Trust me. Never disappoints.
From the first to the last track is just 🔥🤘🏽🔥
Bruce is just rippin' it up. And Nicko is a beast!
his vocal tone is perfection in this track, goosebump city
When the fallen soldier goes down and the soldier riding the horse picks up the flag it gets my patriotism going
The 1st track of this amazing album is Where Eagles Dare. That song is FIRE!! Give it a listen.
Hell yes!
@@ixeyeb As a drummer that intro is a rite of passage.
As a drummer, I used to do that song to warm up for my shows. 🤘🏻
"Where Eagles Dare"
There is no THE in the title!!!!!!
So sad that you can't get the song correct! You are not a Maiden fan at all!!!!
@@surf101- Blah, blah, blah...Oh no!! I added "the" in the title of the song. I can't be a Maiden fan anymore because Surf101 told me. 🤡
I learned more about history listening to Iron Maiden than I ever did in history class.
I learned about Hitler by watching Donald Trump! lol
Don't know what rock I was living under, but I've never heard this song before....and my life's definitely better now that I have, lol. What an amazing rush!

Yes 🎼🎶🎶🎵🎵❤️❤️🎧
Try "Wrathchild" to hear their original singer and drummer.
Thanks for this reaction
You probably don't remember this in Guitar Hero II because it was only on the Xbox 360 version not the PS2 version.
Revelations and Where Eagles Dare and this are my 3 favorite songs and are all 3 on this album.
I believe heart started that gallop sound with barracuda.
Piece of Mind was an absolute classic album, arguably one of Iron Maiden’s best. The Trooper is great but Revelations, Flight of Icarus and To Tame a Land are even better. Worth a listen! (And they’re not all ‘galloping’ songs either)
Metal is a great way to get aggression out. Better than mental issues or fing someone up. 🤟
Maiden was heavily influenced by UFO. Lights Out by UFO is one of the classic gallops. Lights Out off of Strangers In The Night is a must.
They've GOT to do some UFO! 🛸 They rock hard!
@@kittiecoast Strangers In The Night is one of the great live albums and I think Cherry is one of the quintessential rock songs.

Iced Earth do a good bit of galloping, too.
Iron Maiden is inspired by Thin Lizzy for the twin guitar sound.
you should do "wasted Years" next which is amazing also a great newer one that was released with a cool animated video was "the writing on the Wall"
Hey guys! Love your reviews! Could you go old school R&B with the Ojays "message in the music" it's a classic
You need to see and listen to "Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner [Flight 666 DVD] HD"
It is an experience like no other 😍

I got 2 tickets to Iron Maiden baby , go with me on Friday don’t say maybe
Guys, if you haven't heard the album version of Alexander the Great you're really missing out. ;) But yeah, the Trooper was the first Maiden song I've heard and like it to this day. They have better songs though. :)
They are in the zone on this track.
I don’t think Maiden invented the gallop but Dave Murray definitely invented the “duck face”.
When this band came out and were unknown because they were not comercial I image the Rockers hearing this alone
Wasted years next!
Caught somewhere in time album is🔥🤘🏽🔥
I'll say it dude. I thought your harmony was solid. It definitely did not suck
Love Maiden but they always get credit for duel guitar harmonies and galloping drums when groups like thin lizzy, Judas Priest, and UFO to name a few were doing it years before Maiden
And before them it was Wishbone Ash, KK Downing said he got the idea from them.
