This song always makes me think of my granddad who is of the ripe old age of 96. He was a pilot in the Second World War flying in hurricanes, spitfires, Lancasters, thunderbolts and just about every other aircraft available to the RAF. He was in the Battle of Britain as well as many others.
I remember one story he told me about when he was in a Lancaster bomber carpet bombing Germany. Grandad was in the co-pilot seat, they’re being tailed by a Messerschmitt and suddenly the central gunner’s head explodes and he falls limp out of the turret.
No words are exchanged between pilot and copilot but the pilot gestures with a subtle flick of his eye brows toward the back of the plane as an instruction to Grandad to go and fill the empty gunner seat. So he did just that and ran down the plane corridor, climbed up into the turret and started firing back again.
Can you imagine what that would have been like? Wow.
As you can probably tell, I am very proud of him.
Thank your grandad for helping to save the world for us.
Shawn Powell Yeah he’s alive and well. What’s interesting is that for years he wouldn’t talk to anyone about the war, not my grandmother nor my dad or any of his siblings. But me his grandson everybody is amazed he is opening up and taking to. It could be because I dared to ask about it when no one else did. It’s interesting nonetheless.
Mitch P I’m sure he’d appreciate that being the humble man he is, even though he won himself a chest full of medals that he also incidentally lost in the move to Australia where we all live now.
Your grandfather is a legend mate. The battle of Britain devastated the Luftwaffe against all odds.
squashedeyeball you know, I asked my grandad if he thought he was a good pilot, and he just smiled and said “a lucky one”.
Iron Maiden are the undisputed masters of the story song.
i mean sabaton is pretty high up there im not gonna argue one or the other but they're up there
@@connorcunningham1332 Sabaton...I mean, they know how to pick good battles / war themes. But Maiden are just so much more diverse with regards to subject matter. I'm biased tho, I can't listen to more than two or three Sabaton songs in a row before Joakim's vocals drive me to listen to something else. He's just too...plain.
@@connorcunningham1332 Sabaton is great, but, I think they'd be the first ones to give credit to Maiden.
@Ad Lockhorst Sorry, I only count groups that don't sound like their singers are castrated, little boys, and, don't write dumb songs about witches, ghosts, and, other kiddie crap.
@Ad Lockhorst King Diamond's abrasive, nasaly, whine is the single most annoying sound in the world.
By the way, Bruce Dickinson is a commercial airline pilot and frequently flys his band on tour around the world with a Boeing 747. I know he's not a fighter pilot but he probably has more sense of that feeling than most people.
He actually owns a replica German Fokker Triplane fighter from WW1, he did a dogfight with 8 other planes before maiden played sonisphere in 2014, it was awesome!
@@lakingpin6370 Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks!
Bruce dickenson also owns an authentic ww2 spitfire plane
@@anthonyvaliante4717 Holy fking shit man XD what a guy
Actually Fighter and Airliner are Totallly different XD but Also Bruce owns a fighter too so he does know that shit very well indeed haha
I believe it was based on the Battle of Britain. The fighter pilots were fierce. Most knew their life expectancy was extremely short and they fought their asses off.
You're right on the money! 👏
Iron Maiden - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. Perfect cardio song.
Love it! And the solo is in my top 5 by Maiden. Such a great song!
Yes.
Rich-n-Kel just reacted to this song last night.You should check them out
Ironically, it is poorly paced for actual long distance running. Much better for shorter but more intense cardio.
I think Bruce's grandfather was a RAF pilot during WW2, thus inspiring this song.
P.S: On their most recent tour they had a real life sized prop of a Spitfire airplane on stage during this song, pretty cool.
INDEED :) !
I went to a concert fucking awsome still
At download (2013?) they had a spitfire fly overhead during their intro. Twas badass
@@ShinyHoneyBee Yeah at Download they had a real Spitfire flying over the stage, but on this tour they have a prop airplane on stage instead of the real one.
It was he is oncle he talk about him in is biography
This song live with the Churchill opening is awesome.
It's better than this version.
They should do a full album reaction to Flight 666.
nobody does that and it's unfortunate! that part of his speech is epic!
Churchill is literally the devil
@@mikeobama69 .. and you're a fucking moron
Love how Vin gets more and more into it as the song plays. UP THE IRONS!!
I have been summoned!
Lol
Try:
Summoning - Farewell
LOL.
It was The Grand Conjuration - Opeth.
Well, since you're here, won't you, ruuuuuuuuuuun...
Hearing this song live was one of the best moments of my life
Crowd went nuts
moonchild! the whole seventh son of a seventh son album!
Absolutely!
Yes!!
Rainbow- Man on the Silver Mountain(Dio vocals)
I think they have it already
Epic song
Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams
Iron Maiden - Flight of Icarus
It’s about the British and Commonwealth RAF fighter pilots during the Battle of Britain
and Polish and Czech!
Best live intro song EVER.
I saw them when Bruce came back and when this song started (the concert) the place ERUPTED! The audience became a sea madness ;)
As an Englishman this song makes me very proud, Battle of Britain 1940, forever made immortal by the legends Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden "Where Eagles Dare," "Revelations," "Flight of Icarus," "Die With Your Boots On." All from the Piece of Mind album. All CLASSIC MAIDEN tracks. MUST reactions
Live After Death!
Being an ace pilot means you have shot down at least five enemies.
Iron Maiden - The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner ( Great Song! ) And Vin, you can 'run' with it :D
Love how so many people are asking for this song! Top 5 by Maiden on my list! Hope they give it a shot.
Maiden's best song and one of the best ever in all of metaldom! An absolute blast of energy, makes you really feel like you're up there flying and shooting. I'd like to see a big budget video of this.
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera with their original singer Paul Dianno.
Remember this like yesterday ...
Irons playing in '84 Powerslave tour , Warsaw PL .
I got almost crushed by the crowd , embellished by energy ...
I was 13 .
Iron Maiden - Where eagles dare
Fates Warning - Exodus
Skyclad - Inequality street
Slough Feg - Traders and Gunboats
Artillery - Khomanniac
Skyclad yeah, but how about Great Blow for a Day Job. Think Vin & Sori would be talking about the lyrics for an hour lol!
@@archiethornton1588I think that is accurate for most of their songs haha.Martin wrote some quite unique and brilliant lyrics.
@@spearhead6020 Yes indeed. I was devastated when he left the band. Managed to get backstage in Glasgow to get their set list signed in 1994. Since lost sadly.
Love, love ,love Artillery , but most have never heard of them !
It's obvious that you need to do the loneliness of the long distance runner by Iron Maiden :)
That's a Grrreeeaaaaat song.
Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow live 1980 with Paul Di'Anno
Caught somewhere in time -Iron Maiden
Nothing like hearing Aces live
Death- Pull the Plug. Oceans of Slumber-Winter.
Powerslave is their best album in my opinion. This reminds of being a freshman in college. I remember buying this on Vinyl in 1984 and was blown away. Up The Irons !! \m/
Do react to Bruce Dickinson-Tears of the dragon... it's by the vocalist of Iron Maiden...
lots of bruces solo stuff is classic
hell yeah
’Accident of Birth’, ’Man of sorrows’, ’Kill Devil Hill’ and ’Darkside of the aquarius’ are also good songs to check out by him
@@dinounit67 book of thel and the alchemist , class
@@brucedickinson12 The Accident of Birth album and the Chemical wedding are masterpieces!
My absolute favorite Maiden tune. Thanks for doing this one!
Love the reaction again guys. I love this song. It's an ironic track.. Bruce is fascinated with flying . He is a pilot and flies their own 747 jet. Retrofitted for touring and they use it on tour. Flight 666 is a documentary film about one of their tours around the world using that jet and bruce piloting it. Great show to watch. Not that you have time but you never know..
UP THE IRONS.. ps. I think you should check out the original 2 albums with the original singer Paul before getting into the newer music. Just for perspective. ☺☺☺
That 747 was rented from iceair. And inbetween recordings and tours Bruce works as an airline pilot.
Yes, Bruce is fascinated with flying, but Steve Harris wrote this song.
@@independenceltd. good point . Tru
You can tell Vin was really enjoying this one...
Burzum - Det som en Gang Var
A 14 minute black metal masterpiece.
AshenOne61 6 YES!
More Maiden, MORE!! They have so many fantastic songs that you haven't heard yet.
Dance of Death or For The Greater Good of God next, please.
Up the Irons! now you should listen to Revelation, 22 Acacia Avenue or Sea of Madness. Maybe Killers or Remember Tomorrow, from the early years.
Damn....its hard to find maiden fans w your kind of choices...but i feel you!! Revelations live from 1983..".that televised concert" you know. 22 acacia avenue from that same concert and i have to discard sea of m. I dont believe there is a live version but i understand w you picked that song and the "perfectly fit these times" kind of lyrics" up the irons!!😉🤘
@@abraxasvoice440 Agreed they are 3 of my favorite Bruce era songs, plus Sea of Madness just seems so apropos. Remember Tomorrow is my favorite Paul era song, Killer's is the album/ song that sealed my love of Maiden.
@@nornog Running Free is my fav Paul song. The Maiden Japan version!!
@@randywissler9923 Running Free, is a great song.
They definitely need to do 22 Acacia Avenue. And Revelations (off of Live After Death)!!!
Prowler, Phantom Of The Opera, Purgatory & Wrathchild are my favorite Dianno era songs.
Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark LIVEEEEEE!! C'mon, fix your mistake guys!!
Ayeew Tasko A Real Live One
Man I love this band! Up The Irons!! 🤘🤘
"It's a song about card games"
lol wut?
I belive it has both meanings?
Yeah same reaction
@@djmay5588
WW2*
At least he figured it out, quite a good discussion as well
He was trolling. He knows Maiden ffs. 🤣
Oh! If you liked the story of Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler, listen to "No Bullets Fly" by Sabaton. \m/ :D
Was about to say the same
I also wanted to say the same thing.
Aces Hich is a ’dude’ song. It hits in every man’s spine and make the survival mood start right up,... Great song,... 👍
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner!!
Dave and Adrian kill it with the solo, as usual.
Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe!
Sepultura version from Nativity in Black is going to be hilarious right after.
Also, Biohazard - Punishment, Typo O Negative - Black Sabbath
SEPULTURA - DESPERATE CRY. They will be your new favourite band!
Most probably, they'll read Sepultura and do something from their later years and then say, "man this band really sucks" : D
yes great pick to react !!
"Never before, have so many, owed so much, to so few." - Winston Churchill
“It’s a song about card games” 😂😂
Try Where Eagles Dare from Maiden, u wont regret. cheers!!
You can almost picture them going 350 mph , and pulling massive G forces.
Sympathy for the Devil----Rolling Stones( studio version)
Down - bury me in smoke
I've got to admire your tenacity
Great song! I joined the Army in 1987, Infantryman. Was stationed in Illesheim, West Germany from 87-89. I went to the ‘Monsters of Rock 88’ in Schweinfurt, West Germany. What a day! David Lee Roth, Great White, Treat, Testament, KISS, Anthrax, and Iron Maiden. Unbelievable concert!
I went to high school with John DeHaven's son. I noticed his father was a bit older than the rest of our dads. I found out he was a WWII ace, actually double ace, almost triple as he shot down 14 Japanese aircraft. After WWII he worked for Hughes Aircraft and was even Howard Hughes' personal pilot at one point. He was still working for Hughes in the late 80s when we graduated. I lost touch with my friend, but thanks to Facebook, we still keep in touch. His father died in 2008, a badass of a man.
Probably my fav Iron maiden song, the drums and bass in this song are delicious.
Bruce Dickerson the singer is a pilot, and a ww2 historian that’s why aces high is a song
yeah he loves flying its in his blood iron maiden for ever long live maiden .HORNS UP LETS GO .
The song is written by Steve Harris...
When this song was written Bruce Dickinson was not a plane enthusiast, nor begun his pilots license nor was he public figure.
He was however training to be an Olympic fencer, so it would be true of ‘Flash of the Blade’.
Battle of Brittan 1940-1941. I saw this tour in 84 and they started with Churchill's speach and kicked off the concert with this song....it was awesome.
This is inspired by the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, the first battle entirely fought in the air. Hitler wanted to invade the UK, to achieve that he needed air superiority so launched bombing raids against RAF airfields, vastly out numbered the RAF managed to defeat the Luftwaffe and Hitler postponed the invasion indefinitely (that's a brief version of the story, we had help from the Poles, Czechs, Commonwealth countries and even a handful of U.S. pilots volunteered for the RAF, most pilots were barely 20 and may have had only 10 hours learning to fly thier Spitfires or Hurricanes) get tickets to the summer tour, they open with this song with a replica Spitfire above the stage, this and the rest of the show is mind blowing! Up the Irons!
My great grandfather (canadian) fought in the first world war when he was 15... the army told him he was too young but because he was so poor with no alternatives they took him in. He was also a gunner during WW2 I know this song is about pilots but still it still reminds me of him. Too bad I never knew him I heard crazy story from his daughter ( my grandmother). If it wasn't for those heros, we wouldnt be living this good today.
aces high in blackjack= shooting down 21 planes gets you ace level Eddie Rickenbacker was one.
Thank you guys for putting up the lyrics to all your reactions.
Gotta say you miming along with the last chorus has made my day!
Iron Maiden- Where Eagles Dare, Revelations, The Trooper, Flight of Icarus, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Caught Somewhere in Time, Infinite Dreams, Judas Be my Guide, Brave New World, Blood Brothers, The Thin Line Between Love & Hate...
ACCEPT this, its fast as a shark. Seriously love it
Do iron maiden live
Soon as you said "it's a song about card game" I burst out laughing cause I knew it was about British Aces in WW2 lmfao m8 😎😂
I heard that an American Sargent was in a Glasgow pub during the war and a black American came in and the Sargent said "Get the hell out"
That Sargent got the hell beating out of him. The black guys from America said "why did you stand up for us?"
The Scots guys said "because we get sent out first in a battle as well"
That's why I am proud to be Scottish!
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW WE DID IT IN 83 'ME AND MY METAL BUDDIES DOING THE AIR GUITAR..IS A MUST ....I LOVE IT...
*‘Never in the history of mankind, have so many, owed so much, to so few"* - Winston Churchill said to the `few´ fighter pilots, who fought the Battle Of Britain against the Nazi-blitz and fended them of, to save the island. The UK-pilots were almost kids - some just 18 years old. The average age among them all was just 20 years old. Almost kids, facing this onslaught from the Nazis.
This was before UK had built up a large air-force - and before the alliance with the USA - and had to fight ferociously against a much larger Nazi-force, in superior number, and far better equipment and fighter planes. >> th-cam.com/video/4sFewhTAdjs/w-d-xo.html
Fuck Churchill. He was as bad as a Nazi.
@TouchOfIceman - Yet, the side he was on won the war, and here we are. Do you really think things are as bad as they would have been if the Axis hadn't been defeated? I doubt that we would even be here and able to discuss any such thing if that was the case.
@@0okamino dosent change the fact he was the English Hitler.
I'm well aware that Churchill became (to put it in kind terms) a patriarchal, racist, flag-toting utter asshole for British Empire conquests. I'm not saying that's a good thing to be either. Frankly, I'd be happy to see his statue get vandalised more often. However, does the fact that victory in WW2 did not lead the world to some sort of systematic conquering, and eventual total replacement by "der Herrenmenschen" not, at least, bring you to the conclusion that Hitler and his Nazis (which had supplanted the original party) were _to some degree_ worse than Churchill (even if not by leaps and bounds) in their active ideologies?
Criticism is fine. Encouraged, really. However, hyperbole doesn't lend itself to what is actually productive.
Aryaputra shut up shit streeter
Great musicians, storytellers, History, Literature, myth. Substance. Ty again
This song is responsible for so many speeding tickets.
This chorus man!! tough scale to sing! Every Powerslave Reccord deserves a needle groove on that track
Manowar - Achilles, Agony And Ecstasy In Eight Parts
Love smashing this one out in the car full volume, my Great-Grandfather flew a Spitfire mk1 during the Battle of Britain in 1940! Nice reaction!
I love how it got you talking on history. I love history and ofc the song talked about it but I do appreciate yalls post song discussion
You're a top bloke Vin. This awesomeness is speaking to your soul.
First! As a companion piece to this one, I would recommend "Aces in Exile" by Sabaton. Another song about the Battle of Britain. \m/
Over the battlefield brave men long way from home
My people.
This song is based on the Battle of Britain first battle fought in the air in WW2.
Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death
This song always makes me emotional.
Seeing you rock out puts a smile on my face, Vin. :-)
Churchill said "never in the field of human endeavour has so much been owed by so many to so few" what a leader !!!
Looked like you were expecting to hear "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" with that intro, haha! This has always been one of my favorite songs to listen to while driving mountain backroads!
An "Ace" was a pilot who had 5 kills. The "Ace" status was given when you have 5 confirmed kills at a minimum.
Iron Maiden - Heaven can Wait - live Flight 666
blind guardian - the bard's song! live in wacken maybe in combination with the studio version, that will be awesome! sry for the bad englisch. greetings from germany
Yes! I love when you all do Classic Maiden.
Once again, so happy to be able to watch you experience and enjoy the best of the best. Little bit disappointed you didn´t got the the version that includes the Churchills speech
Churchill's speech is essential to the song.
Of course, families of the band members especially Steve Harris, bassist were involved during WWII because opening credit during live version has Winston Churchill does one of his famous chat on the airwaves to comfort & inspired his citizens of Great Britain as they huddled in the famous London Underground during air raids by Germany's ME-109's that was mentioned in the song.
I once took a trip to Normandy over Memorial Day weekend. Our group's tour guide was a German who had been a kid during WW2. Before we went to the beaches and American cemetery, the guide took us to a German cemetery. This was the late 90s. It was the first time I really understood, what you said. Those guys weren't Nazis. They were just soldiers fighting for their country.
Look forward to the next Iron Maiden song.
If you're interested in war stories. During WW1 at Gallipoli, Turkish and Anzac soldiers who fought fiercely hours ago, would trade cigarrettes and even food (although resources were pretty low) during the short truces for things like collecting their dead.
For aviators, you become an ace once you kill 5 enemy planes. Every time you kill 5 planes you expand you ace. 10 kills=double ace, 15 kills=triple ace and so on.
One of my favourite songs by maiden
Kiss - God give rock an roll to you
Guns and Roses - civil war or night train
Vins reaction to kiss though shall not could be interesting
Kiss = Creatures of Night = HEAVY shit!
Nothing like an 80s guitar solo
Always good when Maiden is reviewed and reacted to. Revelations, Phantom of Opera, Still life would be worthwhile tracks.
Yes!!!! This is such a great song, I am so glad you got to this one!
If you do anymore Maiden LIVE AFTER DEATH album is best LIVE Maiden songs ! WOOOOOOOOO !
The birth of speed metal. The best maiden song!
