I swear I was going to say something.. for a different reason lol. I'm 48 now.. but the h.s. I went to , warriors was our school mascot and name. All of us who were part of the long haired hippy crowd connected on Facebook and call our group the hippy warriors. Lol. I know it's not relevant to your shirt. But when I saw it . .I was like " i have to get me one" lol
you kidding? first thing i noticed. warrior of peace, a saying that is contradictory in fact but true in spirit. many great spiritual truths are like this.
In High School we studied this poem. We told the teacher, and older, very proper lady, about this song. She asked us to bring in a copy....I had the cassette, if you know what that is...lol. She played the whole song in class, and then we had a discussion about the song. On the test, she actually had a few questions about the song. At the time I thought that was just the coolest thing ever.
Keith Harrelson I had it in school first year of high school in Lebanon. It is Samuel Taylor Coleridge he formed the romantic age which is also known as the 18th century in english poetry. I love Bruce Dickinson he is the best vocalist of iron maiden and very happy to know beat throat cancer, also Steve Harris by far the best bassist in the world. The whole band is very talented and epic.
hey keith, same with me.. studied it in HS as well. told my teacher the same thing. brought it in and had the whole class listen. I got extra credit for bringing it to her attention.
I was 16 too. Was living in San Diego when they did 4 nights in Long Beach for "Live After Death." This is a great tune: I had to deep dive this poem in college. ❤❤❤
...it was july 2008 when Iron Maiden was performing at Helsinki olympic stadium...beautiful warm summer evening and they played this song...just before the song started, a seagull flew over the stadium...concert was great with 45000 people singin along the songs...
I like how you chose to use titanic. At first, I was like, who chooses that word what a dope. Then instantly im like: im dumb..that was the witty option, as opposed to any other synonyms lol
Susana Sergent I’ve found Maiden fans are some of the most Loyal, not only to the band but to each other I’ve ever seen. I’m thankful to be a family member.
The best thing about Maiden fans (or just metal bands in general) is that they stay true to their favourit band forever. Rock and metal dead? Anyone who thinks this is stupid up to the point of foolishnis. \m/
Annie Otten My 7 year old son loves Iron Maiden, Megadeth, AC/DC, KISS, Manowar, Type O-Neg, Kid Rock, Hank Jr., and the Old Town Road song, 😂. As long as we teach our kids the sounds of music it’ll never die. BTW Iron Maiden is his favorite and the most underrated song from The Number of the Beast “The Prisoner,” is his favorite right now. This kid’s just like his dad, how can you truly have a favorite Iron Maiden song? 🤘🤘UpTheIrons🤘🤘
they are certainly up there,but i saw hendrix live,and the stones,the who,led zep,james brown,stevie wonder at his early 70's peak,the doors,dylan,sabbath,purple and pink floyd.(all in the 70's, 80's and the 90's) so i've been a little spoiled,but Maiden always put on a show and i've seen them 7 times since 1979 and loved them every time.Live is their forte though for sure.
They are good, but in my book, theres no one that even comes close to Maiden. They are all around 1st class. On every level. Best part is they did not destroy themselves either. Very unique indeed.
I used to live in WV in the late 80's and me and my best friend used to pray for thick foggy nights so we could go out on the river just to listen to this song. Was some of the best times in my life Just sitting in the boat in the middle of the fog covered river. Definitely a song that's lyrics can paint a vivid picture in your mind and make you feel like you're there. UP THE IRONS!!!!
Turning into metal heads. This is a beautiful thing to watch. I agree that listening to Maiden songs musically and lyrically does take you on a journey. And you notice the Bruce Dickinson laugh. I call it the Bruce Dickinson cackle. It is a part of his signature style that adds to his theatrical performances on stage.
Why do my eyes fill with water everytime I hear the ending? The mariner's bound to tell of his story To tell this tale wherever he goes To teach God's word by his own example That we must love all things that God made And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man And the tale goes on and on and on
Thats awesome, in Berlin! After the Wall in Berlin came down, my Schweinfurt metal band called Mystery traveled into the former East Germany where I performed in front of a bunch of skin heads and Nasis!! I blew them away with Maiden singing songs like Fear of thw Dark, Alexander the Great, Wasted Years, Infinite Dreams, Hallowed be thy Name etc.....
Not a big headbanger but I love this band. Every song is like reading a book. It takes you on a journey. I have seen them 3 times and their concerts blow you away.
I know I shouldn’t covet another man’s wife, but DAYMN, Tasha is AWESOME! I, like others, would love to see you take on Maiden’s WWI epic, Paschendale. Also, try out their incredible ode to D-Day, The Longest Day.
Never have I hit the like button so fast in my life. Great reaction to this masterpiece, guys! One awesome epic Maiden song out of the way, plenty more to go. Chronologically, Alexander The Great should be the next one.
To Tame a Land please by Iron Maiden that song is not commercial and the instrumental is beautiful, I play the bass and I'm a fan of iron maiden, I recommend it, greetings from Tijuana México.
The two times you reacted with "ooooh...." to the lyrics, both of those time the lyrics were original stanzas from Coleridge's poem... "water water everywhere and not a drop to drink" and the whispered portion about the star-dogged moon.
This is one of their best songs ever. The composition of this song is pure genius. I just love how Maiden puts your mind right there as you are actually watching the destruction as it happens.... Pure genius.
@@terrevoges3242 Not familiar with the poem ,eh? No one was headed to the north pole in either story. Dozens of similarities between the two stories, none are hard to spot.
@@terrevoges3242 the mariner's voyage is to the Antarctica, not Arctica: the lyrics go "...south to the land of snow and ice..." and later they sail back north until all is calm.
it's also probably more instrumental than the Mariner. I think these guys would have a strong appreciation for Empire of the Clouds if they liked this song
As you said, this feels like a journey. Maiden with Bruce adopted a more "epic" attitude early on. They have many songs like this one, like Alexander the Great for example (you will love it). I think you should check their song Wrathchild and/or Killers from their Killers album. Back then, they had Paul Di Anno on the vocals, and oh damn, Maiden were almost a different band back then due to his drastically different nature as a singer. Paul, in contrast to Bruce who screams and has a higher pitch, was rough, dangerous and gritty. He was amazing in his own way. It would be interesting to see your take on the Paul days of Maiden.
@@bhurzumii4315 I personally always preferred Paul over Bruce. Paul had something that I can't explain. Bruce is phenomenal and more articulated, but Paul has a certain voice color and way of singing that just resonates immensely with me. I hope T will react to a song from Killers soon.
Best Rime of the ancient mariner reaction video on TH-cam! Your reaction to the lyrics made me so happy 😁😁 thinking to myself finally someone that gets it! 🤟😎🤟
The two of you warm my heart, not only do you love music, but you love good music! Thank you for your smiles T and Tasha, love your breakdowns on lyrics! 40 years as an Iron Maiden fan now, seen them 6 times and glad you are fans as well!
I remember taking my mom to see this tour and she was so scared of all the heavy metal freaks but by the end of the show she the boy next to her with the blue spiked Mohawk was “very nice kid” and we aren’t scary at all, just a bunch of people listening to “interesting and fun music”
Great to see both ya'all.... and thanks for giving the Rime the consideration it deserves... old.............. and great... they do indeed take us all on a musical journey, you got that down. my young kids love iron maiden....... I will indulge.
As a 15 year old young musician, this song was one of the first a took the time to learn on the guitar from beginning to end to play with my friends. We never had a singer to play but we would play this over and over again because the sensations playing this together and telling this musical story is as meaningful as the lyrics. To this day I could probably play every note even though I probably haven't attempted to play in 25 years. Watching you guys listen reminded me listening to this one my tape player over and over again. Music can be like magic sometimes and it feels good to see other people feel that way. Im a grown man now but can be transported to 15 by just the opening lick of this song. Really enjoyed and Godspeed to our Mariner.
This song is a masterpiece. You can probably see why it's a definite fan favourite. You have to listen to a live version too. It's even more epic when it's live
I so love you both for giving this tune from grade six back in the day the recognition it deserves....... Iron Maiden rocks so hard..... somewhere in time and seventh son of a seventh son was was also such a great story. love you.. both of you...
I freaking adore you guys! This song makes me scream it’s so great! Try to, without a doubt, see Iron Maiden live, will not be disappointed! Much love to you both!
I am a Maiden fan sinds I was 13 years old. Now I am 49. In my time music fans where separated. Metal fans from other kind of music. Nice to see and here your comments from both that probably not into Metal. Love to see the lady swagging and bouncing on IRON MAIDEN like it's an RNB song 🤘
One a favorite song from one of my favorite albums from them. You had mentioned that it's like a journey with their music. I see it as close to literature in musical form as you can get.
How did you get 19 👎? That was one of the best reaction videos that I have seen. Genuine and heartfelt. My first time hearing this work of art by Maiden, and first time seeing you wonderful people. Glad we were able to take that journey together. God bless.
That's what so awesome about Iron Maiden. Not only do they absolutely kill it musically, but they tell deep stories in the process. This band is a treasure for all generations, especially the young ones.
As someone else pointed out, this is a riff on Coleridge's poem. Another one to check out is Rush's "Xanadu" which is based on Coleridge's "Kublai Khan"
Excellent! Would also recommend Cygnus X-1, and closer to the heart..hell the entire Farewell to Kings album is a story about what we as humans could be! 💚
seen this tour live in Los Angeles in 1985 i was 15 and the show was so awesome we went back the next night and bought scalper tickets and the show was even better then the opening night show..enjoy your tour through the IRON MAIDEN experience .."UP THE IRONS"....
Donnie, that's awesome brother, we go way back !!! hey, have a great 2024 hope you and the family stay Healthy, Happy & Safe, God Bless !@@donnwilson8611
Based on Cooleridge’s classic,Steve Harris’s finest moment and guys loved your reactions throughout the song,you totally got,best reaction by far to this 🤘🏻
Heck yeah! Been waiting on this one! You picked the perfect version to.Great reaction you two! If you want to go on another Epic journey with Maiden check out Empire of the clouds with lyrics.It’s their greatest Opus!
This song is based on a 18th century epic poem of the same name by an English poet of the Romantic movement called Samuel Taylor Colleridge. The poem itself is 27 chapters long and is a hell of a read but this songs distills it perfectly, even has a couple of direct quotes from the poem ("Day after day....." & "One after one..."). My personal favourite Maiden track, absolutely love the Live After Death version.
I will never forget the night I listened to this cranked up on my car stereo while parked atop sea-cliffs in the middle of a monsoon thunderstorm. Brilliant!
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan its almost as if the people organizing those moms against metal back in the day had in fact, anti Christian agenda. I am a Christian as is my family, we all love maiden, amongst many other bands. When normal people, like me but not a Christian, see the outrage over beautiful art such as this, by 'Christians', they develop an adversion to the faith and its adherents. With all that being said: I do sometimes actually wonder if modern rap is being carried out for satanic purposes lol. Obviously its meant to destroy culture and its agenda is certainly nefarious..doesnt take a big imagination to connect those dots. Evil exists in this world, it manifests in many forms. Whether you believe in Jesus/the faith he inspired or not. Any individual with a reasonably high IQ should be able to figure out that there is so much about our realm that we simply do not know. So many possibilities, its beyond our ability to conceptualize. I cringe when some of these "christians" speak its nauseating. It is very easy to see why some people dislike Christians. Unfortunately the vast majority of Christians in the west arent Christian in actuality. Remember, Jesus was a revolutionary, and a revolution in every western country should be our societal imperative. A faith whose God/King came to earth and conducted a revolution could prove handy. ESPECIALLY one who (for the most part, aside from money lenders lol) never got violent..just my .02
These video's help restore my faith in humanity. It's so much fun seeing you guys (superficially I wouldn't peg you as Maiden fans) just totally Getting It. I found myself saying things like "Exactly!" and "Awesome, right?" to your comments.
This has been my favourite Maiden song since I heard it in 85 (I know it came out in 84 but my uncle gave me the album for my 8th birthday) I still listen to it today. I was so happy when you guys gave the vote to react to it and I knew it’d win. Awesome job👍
One of the greatest songs ever conceived by man. Thank you for reviewing it. Samuel Taylor Ccolridge provided the short story that led to the greatness of this song. Keep on rockin’ gang! 👍🏻
Man, been listening to Maiden for years and not once have I heard and appreciated this jam like I did today. It just made sense and it felt like an epic journey. You guys effing rock.
You said everything was so right with this story. Well no shit its Maiden! Lol. You have barely scratched the surface. But Mariners one of the best ones! Do dream of mirrors or somewhere in Time. I love watching your reaction videos. UP THE IRONS!
My favourite song by Iron Maiden. Up the Irons 🤘🤘🤘 I'm very grateful for my dad for introducing me to the band and he told me this is his favourite. We can all see why
Gotta disagree about Empire, it has a different vibe entirely. The only things Empire has in common with Rime is it's longer than 10 minutes and was written by Iron Maiden (personally I think Rime is a much better song, musical theory-wise).
@@andyb1653 Empire has similar tempo in the instrumental middle part and some same drum patterns as the Mariner though, and both share a story of a journey gone wrong because of a human error.
Big Maiden fan here, seen them a bunch of times. You guys really understood this song the way I do. It IS a journey. And that line about water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink... Always gave me chills.
What a nice people,. what a wise girl! But this song, the band and that legendary album are not only "so good" but just insanely brilliant and matchless. Please also check Alexander The Great (1986).
Every part of this song is a Masterpiece, I follow your channel for a while, and I think you should do more Iron Maiden reactions, and you will have a new favorite band
Hadn't listened to my Iron Maiden albums for a few years, but listening to these songs again and this couples reactions has made me fall in love with Maiden all over again. keep them coming guys.
A mariner lost out at sea with no water. The rain was a blessing. Recieving rain must have felt like redemption from the curse of killing the albatross.
I never needed any mind altering substances to go somewhere else growing up. I just listened to Maiden, Priest, Sabbath and Dio for that. Along with their musical offspring.
the quiet bit is the ship drifting with no wind,eerie and typical Maiden. Not just rock songs,but history lessons set to an Iron Maiden soundtrack. Outstanding.
So, I guess no one is gonna talk about Tasha Warriors hoodie?? *Grabs empty bottles*

Love to see the lady swagging and bouncing on IRON MAIDEN like it's an RNB song 🤘
I love stumbling across channels like this. you seem to really enjoy making these videos. and the two of you together is adorable. much love. subbed
I'm living my early 90's again with you channel! Thanks a lot man!
Cherrs from Brazil!
One a favorite song from one of my favorite albums from them. You had mentioned that it's like a journey with their music. I see it as close to literature in musical form as you can get.
How did you get 19 👎? That was one of the best reaction videos that I have seen. Genuine and heartfelt. My first time hearing this work of art by Maiden, and first time seeing you wonderful people. Glad we were able to take that journey together. God bless.
I wish I could subscribe again for this one. Amazing reaction. Keep it up. Y’all know how to do it.
They even play this song live, and it sounds just as good
That's what so awesome about Iron Maiden. Not only do they absolutely kill it musically, but they tell deep stories in the process. This band is a treasure for all generations, especially the young ones.
As someone else pointed out, this is a riff on Coleridge's poem.
Another one to check out is Rush's "Xanadu" which is based on Coleridge's "Kublai Khan"
Excellent!
Would also recommend Cygnus X-1, and closer to the heart..hell the entire Farewell to Kings album is a story about what we as humans could be! 💚
seen this tour live in Los Angeles in 1985 i was 15 and the show was so awesome we went back the next night and bought scalper tickets and the show was even better then the opening night show..enjoy your tour through the IRON MAIDEN experience .."UP THE IRONS"....
Yo Thomas I also was 15 in 1985. No big I guess, but kinda cool you know.
Donnie, that's awesome brother, we go way back !!! hey, have a great 2024 hope you and the family stay Healthy, Happy & Safe, God Bless !@@donnwilson8611
Based on Cooleridge’s classic,Steve Harris’s finest moment and guys loved your reactions throughout the song,you totally got,best reaction by far to this 🤘🏻
Great reaction, I`d love for you to see these live. They always put on an incredible show
Iron Maiden always has a tale to tell. Check our Flight of Icarus or Revelations
I believe Tasha reacted to Icarus just recently...last week?
@@Savatage1964 thanks
Alexander the Great. Paschendale, The Trooper, Empire of The Clouds.
Thanks for the memories. 😀
I wore out this tape on a Sony Walkman delivering newspapers at 5AM when I was a kid.
Heck yeah! Been waiting on this one! You picked the perfect version to.Great reaction you two! If you want to go on another Epic journey with Maiden check out Empire of the clouds with lyrics.It’s their greatest Opus!
I kept one of their CD's in at all times. I drove a truck till retirement and this band kept me trucking along. Great vid you 2
This song is based on a 18th century epic poem of the same name by an English poet of the Romantic movement called Samuel Taylor Colleridge. The poem itself is 27 chapters long and is a hell of a read but this songs distills it perfectly, even has a couple of direct quotes from the poem ("Day after day....." & "One after one..."). My personal favourite Maiden track, absolutely love the Live After Death version.
I've been a maiden fan since the 80s and this May I finally get to see them live!!!!
Do "The loneliness of the long distance runner" next...Another great yet underrated maiden song
Cristian Perovich totally agree my friend. Loneliness is one of my favourite maiden songs. Absolutely fukin epic. Up the irons
I read the book only because of the song.
Dude that as well as run to the hills are my 2 favorite maiden songs.
favorite song and favorite album!
The entire album is underrated.
I will never forget the night I listened to this cranked up on my car stereo while parked atop sea-cliffs in the middle of a monsoon thunderstorm. Brilliant!
You've got to see them live brother, they're awesome!
You folks are great.i love that you appreciate one of my favorite songs.
When people " Get" Iron Maiden i get the same joy a christian gets when someone comes to Christ.
Well done
Bill Kirsch People who think Iron Maiden is a Satanic group are ignorant fools.
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan i agree
I feel you! It's like Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!
VT Alt Exactly, my 7 year old son says “Dad, Eddie can kick the devil’s ass.” 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan its almost as if the people organizing those moms against metal back in the day had in fact, anti Christian agenda. I am a Christian as is my family, we all love maiden, amongst many other bands. When normal people, like me but not a Christian, see the outrage over beautiful art such as this, by 'Christians', they develop an adversion to the faith and its adherents. With all that being said: I do sometimes actually wonder if modern rap is being carried out for satanic purposes lol. Obviously its meant to destroy culture and its agenda is certainly nefarious..doesnt take a big imagination to connect those dots.
Evil exists in this world, it manifests in many forms. Whether you believe in Jesus/the faith he inspired or not. Any individual with a reasonably high IQ should be able to figure out that there is so much about our realm that we simply do not know. So many possibilities, its beyond our ability to conceptualize. I cringe when some of these "christians" speak its nauseating. It is very easy to see why some people dislike Christians.
Unfortunately the vast majority of Christians in the west arent Christian in actuality. Remember, Jesus was a revolutionary, and a revolution in every western country should be our societal imperative. A faith whose God/King came to earth and conducted a revolution could prove handy. ESPECIALLY one who (for the most part, aside from money lenders lol) never got violent..just my .02
These video's help restore my faith in humanity. It's so much fun seeing you guys (superficially I wouldn't peg you as Maiden fans) just totally Getting It. I found myself saying things like "Exactly!" and "Awesome, right?" to your comments.
This has been my favourite Maiden song since I heard it in 85 (I know it came out in 84 but my uncle gave me the album for my 8th birthday) I still listen to it today. I was so happy when you guys gave the vote to react to it and I knew it’d win. Awesome job👍
One of the greatest songs ever conceived by man. Thank you for reviewing it. Samuel Taylor Ccolridge provided the short story that led to the greatness of this song. Keep on rockin’ gang! 👍🏻
With the passing of Neal Peart I fell like a 2112 would be real nice to see
Man, been listening to Maiden for years and not once have I heard and appreciated this jam like I did today. It just made sense and it felt like an epic journey. You guys effing rock.
You said everything was so right with this story. Well no shit its Maiden! Lol. You have barely scratched the surface. But Mariners one of the best ones! Do dream of mirrors or somewhere in Time.
I love watching your reaction videos.
UP THE IRONS!
From Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Love your videos and love that you are getting well into Maiden. Thumbs up.
My favourite song by Iron Maiden. Up the Irons 🤘🤘🤘
I'm very grateful for my dad for introducing me to the band and he told me this is his favourite. We can all see why
Yes , finally. I knew you wouldn't be disappointed. You should check out the live performance .
Some maiden songs with the same vibe: Dance of Death, The Talisman and Empire of the Clounds
dance of death and the talisman en vivo! version, i was in that concert
Gotta disagree about Empire, it has a different vibe entirely. The only things Empire has in common with Rime is it's longer than 10 minutes and was written by Iron Maiden (personally I think Rime is a much better song, musical theory-wise).
@@andyb1653 Agreed, 7th son on the other hand is similar to Mariner. Empire is kinda like journeyman and stands alone in their catalogue
@@andyb1653 Empire has similar tempo in the instrumental middle part and some same drum patterns as the Mariner though, and both share a story of a journey gone wrong because of a human error.
Big Maiden fan here, seen them a bunch of times.
You guys really understood this song the way I do.
It IS a journey.
And that line about water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink...
Always gave me chills.
What a nice people,. what a wise girl! But this song, the band and that legendary album are not only "so good" but just insanely brilliant and matchless. Please also check Alexander The Great (1986).
Y’all’s smiles are infectious. Keep rockin and welcome to the greatest Metal band of all time. UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Every part of this song is a Masterpiece, I follow your channel for a while, and I think you should do more Iron Maiden reactions, and you will have a new favorite band
Too ate they are already my favorite
Thanks guys!...i enjoy listening and watching your reaction of one of Maiden's master piece...first time i see you guys keep on rockin!!!
This channel warms my heart
Hadn't listened to my Iron Maiden albums for a few years, but listening to these songs again and this couples reactions has made me fall in love with Maiden all over again. keep them coming guys.
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is a great Maiden epic.
A mariner lost out at sea with no water. The rain was a blessing. Recieving rain must have felt like redemption from the curse of killing the albatross.
Bruce Dickenson has a PHD in Music, he is also a Professor of history, very smart man.
and an aircraft pilot
I grew up in the 80s and Maiden was a big part of my best memories, I've seen them in concert 9 times and was always blown away
As a mariner of over 26 years I know the curse ! We call them Albert Ross , and we try to feed them at sea if we can ... NEVER hurt the "Albet Ross "
you guys are fun, I enjoyed this a lot! a great reaction to a fantastic epic song!
I never needed any mind altering substances to go somewhere else growing up. I just listened to Maiden, Priest, Sabbath and Dio for that. Along with their musical offspring.
Same here. Heavy metal was my drug back in the 80's.
the quiet bit is the ship drifting with no wind,eerie and typical Maiden.
Not just rock songs,but history lessons set to an Iron Maiden soundtrack.
Outstanding.
Do a reaction to “Seventh Son of A Seventh Son”. Another epic Maiden classic. Thanks!
That album caused me to read all the books in the Alvin Maker series because I had read Steve Harris was in part inspired by them.
Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time. I have loved this song for 30 years+. Good for you!
Next do the live version to know the epicness of a iron Maiden's live show
Lord Revan OMG the live version from the live after death album is soooo epic.
@@jazedandconfused7774 flight 666
@@revan_alva2077 yep flight 666 over live after death.
1985 best version !!
I strongly approve of this suggestion, the live show is absolutely killer
