In this special #MaidenMonday edition of #TheDailyDoug, I'm listening to 'both sides' of Iron Maiden's The Trooper. The song is from their 1983 album Piece of Mind. And, The B side of this single is Cross-Eyed Mary, Iron Maiden's cover of the classic song by Jethro Tull. We're celebrating out 1-year anniversary of doing music reaction videos this week, and we couldn't let the week go by without listening to some music by Iron Maiden. Up the Irons!

UP THE IRONS!!!
Cross Eyed Mary is a good example of how to make a cover song. It's got the Maiden sound all over it, while still being recognizable as the original.
I have it on 33.3 vinyl
Good, but would be better with a flute.
Great point! 🤓
🙏
Maiden's version is missing the space in the song which in Tull's version gives the sense of spooky isolation that a cross-eyed person might have suffered in society in the past. Maiden fills it in with guitar sound. It gives the song a different feel. Still a good version.
“Women in uniform” is a pretty good cover done by Maiden
Maiden fans are a loyal and devoted lot.
We are a special breed for sure, Maiden fans are next level for crowd participation at concerts too in my experience lol
Yeah, they remind me of Blind Guardian fans. Crazy crowd participation.
For me, one of the things that has always "sold" this song was Steve Harris' galloping bass line...makes it so easy to imagine the charge of cavalry.
Totally agree. That's why it's so disappointing that this particular effect doesn't really come across in this particular recording. I was looking for it but just didn't hear it. One of the reasons I've never been a big fan of Maiden's three-guitar setup.
This song is just a full on charge
Iron Maiden has always said Jethro Tull was a huge inspiration for their music. Happy to hear this cover for the first time.
Was that before or after Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for the Best Metal Band Grammy?
😁
Cover?
@@durhamjones4057 Yeah Cross Eye Mary...
Iron Maiden fans are an incredibly dedicated and loving group of metal heads. We love Maiden and anybody else that also loves Maiden or discovers them. So awesome that Doug is paying tribute and honoring how Maiden fans embraced his channel. You deserve it for spreading their music! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
My sister is a nurse. She told me after an Iron Maiden concert, Bruce had a sore throat. And she needed to go back to their trailer and check him out. She said the trailer itself was DISGUSTING. But other than that, Bruce did behave himself. Didn't try to grab her or anything.
They’d been playing The Trooper about 30 years by this point. But they play it with an energy like they’re a new band with something to prove. Bruce sounds fantastic. Just nailing it.
You absolutely need to do "Flight of Icarus" and "Where Eagles Dare." And yes, "Flight of Icarus" IS about the Greek myth.
1000 thumbs up if I could
+1 for Flight of Icarus, though I'd like to see Still Life too
The video from Legacy of the beast tour also includes a flamethrower.
Flight of Icarus is one of the best of Bruce's singings along with "Mother of Mercy" which I think is Bruce's best singing.
@Joshua Sweeten ABSOLUTELY, one of Bruce's best performances
"The Trooper" is Maiden's adaptation of the poem "Charge of the Light Brigade", about an episode in the Crimean War of the 1850's. "Cross Eyed Mary" is about a teen hooker.
It's a classic transition!
It's sad how the song is relevant in 21 century Britain. Only it's not even teen hookers, it's children who are lucky enough to live in an area blessed with the almighty Diversity. if only this diversity was coming from India (or pretty much any other nation), not Pakistan... They would have their innocence preserved.
@@NightZ2_ lmao whatever you say, Freedom Extremist.
@@NightZ2_
But, But………. diVeRSiTy iS oUR sTrENgTh!!!
Hence the mid 19th century military uniform. Probably the only rock song ever written about the Crimean War.
Kickass...By the way, there is also a version of Maiden's Revelations (from Piece of mind) covered by Jethro Tull with Bruce on vocals. A must listen!
And the song Jerusalem of Bruce Dickinson solo works Is an amazing version
th-cam.com/video/jLhf8caVIiI/w-d-xo.html
I didn't know that. Awesome. Thanks for the heads up
Hey Doug. Just wanted to say I'm so happy for your success over the past year and looking forward to what 2022 brings. Thanks!
Piece of mind is an underrated album with no particular weak points. I recommend you to listen to Revelations from this album. Still life is also worth listening.
A word on how Iron Maiden influenced your TH-cam career. There are a bunch of mediocre YT "reactors" who reacted to Iron Maiden and were just boring or at most a little funny just for a moment. What I'm trying to point is that your choice to dive into the sea of pop music let your audience notice you. But this wouldn't have significant meaning without your competence and personality.
It's not underrated. Why should it be? It's a great album of course, it sold very well, they still play a lot of songs from it and for a lot of Maiden fans it's one of their best albums. So not underrated at all... ;-)
Quest for Fire is the worst I'M song ever
For me it's the best Maiden album. It's the one that really got me into Maiden. First 6 albums are the best IMO.
@@kevinmichael2593 it's a definite weak point on the album
@@kevinmichael2593 One bad song compared to eight great songs on the album is bearable. And they had a few let downs especially in the 1990s for example "The Angel and the Gambler" or some other of the BB-era. Even before with Bruce on "No prayer..." and "Fear of the Dark" they had some cringeworthy fillers. Nobody's perfect. Not even Maiden. And I've been a fan since the early 1980s.
BTW, talking about "Piece of Mind" and being the first album with Nicko McBrain, you should check the first song in this album, kind of an statement from the new drummer...
Where Eagles Dare is my favorite drumming song by Maiden.
Where Eagles Dare is about the Clint Eastwood and Sir Richard Burton movie by the same name. A great movie BTW.
"Piece of Mind" was the first Iron Maiden album I ever bought, and "Where Eagles Dare" was the first Maiden song I ever heard. It was part of a 12-tape Sony promotion. It was about 1986, and I was in the 7th grade. "Where Eagles Dare" blew me away. I've been a Maiden fan ever since.
To me "Piece of Mind" was their absolute best!
After watching and enjoying the most the Flight of Icarus official video clip, l bought immediately Piece of Mind in cassette And my journey in the Maidenverse has begun!
I first heard Bruce Dickinson on a college metal station back in 1980. He was with a group called Samson and they also covered Cross-eyed Mary. He transformed Iron Maiden the moment he arrived.
I was in bootcamp when this album came out and it was about the same time as DIO's Holy Diver.
1979 - 84 was an absolutely wicked era for old school metal. We couldn't have asked for better stuff.
Trooper, Run to the Hills and DIO's Rainbow In The Dark, all burn like a top fuel dragster from start to finish.
These songs are epic in vibe and reminiscent of Sabbath's Paranoid.
Get in, buckle up and hang on for your life, because it's time to Rockin Roll..
They always play The Trooper so fast live. So fast to almost stumble over, but of course never stumbling over. Even that reflects the atmosphere of the song.
Thanks Doug for the shout out to us Maiden fans that started you on this journey one year ago, much success to another year and Up the Irons.
Cross-eyed Mary is my favorite cover of all-time. Simply beautiful powerful and fun.
Congrats, Doug! So glad to have been a part of this incredible journey. You have witnessed the majesty of Maiden, and the loyalty of their fans! Keep 'em comin'!
Yo estuve ahí...en vivo!!! Fue un concierto fantastico, increible!!! Salte todo el concierto!! En Santiago...saludos desde Chile!!!
05:12 Yes ,Yes !! finaly good reaction for drummers. Keep going man !
Happy anniversary y'all. Been here since day one and have enjoyed every moment. Congratulations Doug. Really looking forward to another year and much more Maiden!
Let’s go I was waiting for this
Happy 1 year anniversary! Great analysis as always! Up the irons!
Happy anniversary! Can't believe it's been a year already! Thank you Doug, hope to listen to many more!
Nikko McBrain is at the top of the list of drummers who enjoy themselves the most doing live gigs, together with Mick Fleetwood. You can feel the immense amount of enthusiasm and bliss in their faces. 🤘😊
Just got back home from “An Evening with Bruce Dickinson” (his spoken word tour) to this video. Perfect!
I'm really enjoying this journey with you. I can't believe it has only been a year. I'm hearing a lot of these for the first time, too, so thank you for a deeper listening experience.
Doug, so glad that I found you on TH-cam, love your commentary and really helps me understand music more deeply. Congratulation on your success and please continue!
I've been watching since day one Doug, and I love your content, perspective and analysis. Congrats on your one year anniversary and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Congrats on the full year Good Sir! You've done some outstanding work. Cheers and Up The Irons!
Happy 1 year anniversery Doug. Not been here the whole year but since march 2021. And it has been a nice journey so far.
Congrats and make 2022 even better. :D
Always look forward to metal Monday, especially Maiden Metal Mondays! Your analysis and input from a classical music perspective is so interesting to hear! Good stuff! How about Avantasia, Mystery of a Blood Red Rose or Dying for an Angel ft. Klaus Meine, are both good ones. Royal Hunt (Denmark) A Life To Die For is pretty awesome.
Happy Anniversary! Keep up the good work!
I listened to this in 1983 when it came out, at one of the most scary times of the cold war. The Soviets had shot down KAL-007, killing a US congressman. In my high school "current history" class, they brought a holocaust survivor, and those films of the concentration camps were terrifying. As tense as all of that was, it was even worse - The Soviets went to DEFCON1 based on a false alarm, and the fact that we didn't get barbecued in my senior year was due to Stanislav Petrov, a lieutenant colonel who managed to stop it.
But we weren't done yet. NATA scheduled "Able Archer", a realistic DEFCON 1 training exercise. But the Soviets misinterpreted it, and basically went to DEFCON 1 themselves again.
We were all terrified of the Soviets, but had no idea that they were just as terrified by us. Even Reagan didn't get it - he had no idea. When he learned of their reaction, he mellowed is rhetoric and started negotiating with them. That led to the 1985 summit with Gorbachev, an the rest is history.
To me in 1983, "The mighty roar of the Russian Guns" was straight up this fear. Maiden of course with formalize this a year later with "2 Minutes to Midnight".
Happy B-Day, Doug! As a Maiden fan, I can tell you that I found your channel through your reactions to Maiden music but I stayed and followed you because of your understanding of music and the insight you give to us all! I've enjoyed all your reactions on metal and rock artists! And it's always fun to see someone from a different background turn into a metalhead over a year! After all, music is there to unite us and appreciate each other and the world! Keep it up and enjoy the ride!
Been with you all the way.
Loved your reactions to the IM
toons. Loved Maiden Monday's
What an intuitive and captivating analysis to the band.
Reactions make you fall in love with the band again
Thank you for the attention to detail and the effort for the background reading.
Sound work fella.
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great musician to check out is yngwie malmsteen. He is one the best classical metal guitarists out there. His playing is so fast, precise and classical it should right up your alley.
Great reaction, Doug. Some history about the Charge of the Light Brigade that not many may know: At the Battle of Balaclava, Baron Raglan (yes, he of the sleeve pattern) gave orders to Earl Lucan, his cavalry commander. Lucan in turn passed the orders to his brother-in-law, the Earl of Cardigan (yes, he of the sweater style). Lucan and Cardigan despised each other, and so the orders were passed incompletely, leading to the destruction of Cardigan's light cavalry brigade in a noble but utterly avoidable and pointless gesture of a truly messy war.
Woo!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Congrats on the 1 year anniversary Doug, keep em coming brother, there's a reason you're growing the channel!
#MetalMondays
One year already?!?!? Happy Anniversary!! Lots of success in all your endeavors
Also check out their live song “Aces High” another war song that was written based on a British pilot’s last letter to his wife. True story.
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Hey Doug! Feliz aniversario! Gracias por tus excelentes análisis!
This is brilliant, I hadn't realised that I've been with this channel since pretty much the start. It's difficult for me to express how much I love this band, they've been a constant companion for nigh on 40 years now and I really can't/don't want to imagine a world in which they're no longer out there. En Vivo is another classic, immense live recording! I love that there's so much clarity in the guitars with Davey on the left, Jan on the right and then Adrian and Steve right in front, perfectly entwined and harmonious. I remember reading somewhere once that Metal is essentially Classical music + electricity, there are many stripped down classical renditions of Maiden songs here on TH-cam which demonstrate the validity of that hypothesis, IMHO. Cheers Doug, your channel is an absolute delight, always. Congratulations on the major success of your work here and thank you for introducing me to Straffe Hendrik Quadrauple Beer, that's some good stuff!! Up The Irons!! 🤘
Thank you! The best reactions on TH-cam
Doug...your description of the lyrics mirrored mine when I heard this song for the first time when I bought the album when it was first released. I LOVE your reactions to all of your videos. This music has been around for decades and your energy and excitement when hearing it for the first time is refreshing. Keep it up and UP THE IRONS!!!
Congratulations on the 1-year anniversary of music reactions!
What a wonderful year of musical insight, thank you so much!!!
Been watching since your Fear of the Dark, and I'm super thrilled that I'm finally able to support you. Your musical insight is so wonderful to learn from, you do a great job of teaching about the music. Let's go go for another year!
I was lucky enough to see Maiden twice, for their Book of Souls tour and their incredible Legacy of the Beast tour. On the latter, during this song, Bruce had a flamethrower strapped to his back and flames shooting out both arms. It was insane!
Thanks so much! Happy you're here. It's going to be a great year!
The flamethrower wasn’t during the trooper it was during flight of Icarus
Well done on 1 year Doug I know I've been onboard since Feb last year.
Helped me through a difficult time. I was caring for my mother for many years and she passed away on 30th Jan 2021.
So THANK YOU.
And I was lucky enough to see Maidens 2 best tours Powerslave (6 days after Kiss' Animalize) and Somewhere on Tour which was even better.
Excellent video, Doug. Really enjoy your reactions to music. Many of the iron maiden B-sides are great, some really interesting and surprising music.
Congrats, Doug! I enjoy watching your reviews. Maiden were always known for doing cool covers.
so much energy with this song live-just incredible!!!!
I am a HUGE Maiden fan and because of this fantastic insight you did of the Trooper I subscribed and will look forward to your videos!!!!
Massive congratulations Doug on the success of the channel. Your reaction videos aren't just entertaining but educational as well with the depth you go into in terms of the structures and dynamics of the songs.Long may you continue giving us the gift of the Daily Doug 🤘
Congratulations on your YT journey! I definitely agree that anything (and everything) that brings people together is a good thing! Thanks for all you do here.
I’m a huge metalhead but never got really deeply into Iron Maiden for whatever reason; you have been helping me get more into them and it’s great to hear this stuff from a different perspective. Slowly but surely I’m really becoming a big fan!
Take care and rock on! 🤘🤘
Enjoy the journey down the rabbit hole. Been into Maiden since 1983. Love the first 6 albums.
also worth noting is the very "gallopy" rythm section in the trooper . in between the drums and bass lines you can really feel like you're riding a horse !
Happy anniversary!!
Doug , I have been to two Iron Maiden concerts and they are the cleanest and clearest by far. Such energy. Very grateful for Maiden Mondays!
Hi, Im from Chile. I love ur videos. I have been to 2 Iron Maiden concerts here in Chile. Awesome both. Greetings...
So cool! Dave Murray always has the e minor guitar solo, and Adrian Smith loves a minor. You can hear it in about 90% of their work.
Weird seeing Murray with a les paul 😳
@@scoutbeavers7355 damn. I got it backwards, didn't I?
Iron Maiden's cover of Crosseyed Mary is definitely an all time kick a$$ cover.
Been a fun year doug keep it up bro!!!
I've been a Maiden fan since 1983. They had me at The Trooper...and I've never looked back. Best storytellers in the music world! Thanks for the great video.
Doug I am a metalhead for more than 40 yrs...at 51....and such channels as yours are fkn great...so interesting...keep up the good work 🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘
He knows what he's talking about plus he has the intellectual background. That can't be said about "hip-hoppers react to heavy metal" and other fakers ... ;-) That's something that always p....d me off, people using metal songs to "react" to them on Yt, just because they know that it will bring them more viewers.
Up the Irons🤘🏼Congratulations on one year Doug 👊🏼💯🙂
What I love about Maidens Cross Eyed Mary is Steve Harris doing a pretty faithful Tull bass line. You can hear him smiling as he plays it.
I too am a relatively recent Maiden convert (only been a fan for 20 years, lol). I love how you react to and analyze music I’ve listened to for decades because it brings a new perspective on it for me to appreciate. Thanks for all you do!
Great reaction...as always. Cheers 🍻
Awesome,good time enjoying this with you Doug😁👍
In 1984, I used the lyrics to The Trooper in my junior year HS English class when we dabbled in Poetry. My English teacher and I were sort of friendly at odds with each other. Mr Jones and my dad were both athletic, my dad played football and he also played tennis, specifically with Mr. Jones. Mr Jones... he was enamored with my poem and read it in front of the entire class. The entire time I was convinced one of the other kids was going to say "Hey! that's Iron Maiden" and it never happened. In front of 15-20 kids he said "That was pretty dark stuff Robby but it was structured so well that I had to give it an A" The next Spring, right before graduation the "Band" my friends and I created played "The Trooper" and "Shout at the Devil" in front of the entire student body. I will never forget being intensely focused on playing this on guitar, it was no easy thing to do at 17, even after months of practice and guitar lessons to specifically play this song. I was probably holding my mouth open, drooling in total concentration until I saw Mr. Jones on the side with his arms crossed and the look of disappointment as he immediately realized that these were the words of Steve Harris and not Robby. I immediately just got totally into it and it became so much easier after that. Mr. Jones had admitted "I read this to my wife, I had to swallow that the offsping of my HS nemesis was a really talented poet in the making and now I know it was plagiarized from some rock star. The thing is that now I have to swallow that you can actually play guitar and it pains me" or something close to that. No matter, he was also the German teacher and he told the story of my poem to that group without me there as I never took German. Then in the HS newspaper he commented on the band saying "They appear to be talented but were distasteful and insensitive" It was a badge of honor. My dad just said "So he is still pissed off about me eliminating him in 1962 huh?" 😂
Great stuff Doug... just nothing like the energy of a Maiden show... so glad I've gotten to see them so many times live... #UpTheIrons
Next war song from Maiden should be The Legacy, dark and beautiful masterpiece.
The poem appears in the music video version of The Trooper... Love watching your reactions - so much fun.
Doug that was a treat. I haven’t heard this song in at least 30 years.
Oh the B side!
Thanks buddy.
Congrats for the Year....!!! Up The irons...
I never realized that I found your channel on your very first music reaction....I watched that vid, and subscribed immediately 😁
I found an interview with Ian Anderson recently where he talks about the Aqualung album. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but he said that Tull was recording this album in the same studio that Led Zepplin was recording Led Zepplin 4. They were downstairs and Led Zepplin was upstairs (could be the other way around, foggy on the details 😟). On the day that they cut the solo for Aqualung, just as they were cutting the solo, Jimmy Page stepped into the studio to say hi. Previously to Page walking in, Martin Barr had been having trouble nailing the a few of the solos for some of the songs on Aqualung so Ian would just cut a flute solo for the song instead. Ian specifically mentions Cross Eyed Mary as one of the songs that this happened on (Ian doesn't say so, but I suspect that Locomotive Breath was one of those songs as well). He also goes on to say in the interview that Jimmy Page stepping into the studio is why Martin Barr's solo is so good in that song... He just needed the proper motivation...lol. Given that, I suppose that Cross Eyed Mary could have been initially envisioned to sound much this way 🤔
The interview came from the internet, so take it with a grain of salt, but I thought that was a pretty cool bit of lore if true.
Megadeth opened for them on this tour and I got to see both in Raleigh, NC. Amazing show. I wasn't really familiar with Maiden at all, but they were so incredible live that I got hooked after that.
A British officer was captured during the Napoleonic war. "Why do you wear red when it makes you stand out and a target for our snipers?" asked the French captaine. "Well" said the Brit, "If I'm wounded the men will not see my blood and that is good for morale."
"Magnifique." said the Frenchman. And from that day on French officers wore brown trousers!
Into the valley of death rode the six hundred.
A couple of cool things about "The Trooper" that you might not have picked up on: The "Oh" is meant to signify the moaning and screaming of the soldiers as they are injured and dying. Also, notice the galloping bass line. Steve Harris used that to represent the horse's gallop. It's now his signature sound. He's the king of the galloping bass.
Exactly 🤘
Thanks for sharing that!!
Yeah, bla bla, just as Doug says at 8:38 onwards.
it has been a great year of hearing your theoretical analysis of everything. As I said the first time I ever commented on a video - about a year ago - I wish you had been my theory teacher in college!!! Would have been a great time...and the cool thing is, I am still learning!
Metal Mondays are fun, but I live for Weird Wednesdays. Congrats on the anniversary! That's quite an achievement in a year! You deserve it!
Another song based on the Crimean War is 'Massacre' by Thin Lizzy. Maiden also covered it in '88
happy anniversary!!!
Adrian and Janick double the first solo because H played it on the original studio recording, but he left the band for his own projects in 1990 so Janick joined the band and took over his guitar parts for old songs. The do the same thing for The Evil That Men Do (otherwise, H does *most* of his old solos, though Janick does a few as well).
your are a positive and kind person and your videos are very nice and interesting! That's why your channel grew up! We wish you good luck and make many more awesome videos !
Loved the video Doug! I’m becoming a much bigger Iron Maiden fan in part from your work here. A little late to them at 60 but I’m catching up.
Thank you for sharing.
Maidens Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is an amazing poem adaptation as well!
I´m the 500th comment, great reaction to another maiden classic, really enjoyed it and keep it up! Great that you're having so many subscribers in just a year, awesome ! 🔥🎸
Big text alert! To better express how I personally appreciate the content ever since you started learning about Maiden and also to show how can some bands have such an impact on people all over the world.
I grew up listening to my dad's Maiden vinyl collection. As I was 4 y.o. my dad would sit me in front of the music box we had, with the vinyls which had the songs lyrics inside and a small English dictionary, I'd sit there for hours listening to the songs, rewriting the lyrics and translating them to Portuguese (Brazilian). That shaped my ears, and also my language abilities far beyond I could ever think at the time.
I first got to see Maiden live in São Paulo in 2008 when I was 12 years old and I couldn't stop crying the entire show, tears of joy. I've been to 5 more maiden concerts ever since and still can't hold those tears feeling the energy. It's just something unbelievable and probably the best experience I've had in my life.
The content in they're lyrics did instigate me to learn more about history, specially about war. As I began to search for those references and also a song called Aces High, I fell in love with airplanes which with time led me to become an Aeronautical engineer. So it's safe to say that this band helped me draw the path I ended up walking thus far!
I'd like to thank you once again, because in every maiden video you make, to see the excitement you have after listening to the songs, is just a big reminder to myself of what this band means to me and so many others. I know all their songs by heart and I can never forget the words in them.
Piece of Mind is personally my favorite album, alongside with Powerslave.
Thank you Doug!
Love that you've come to appreciate Metal music, sir.
Talking of Maiden and Tull if you really want a treat take a listen to Ian and Bruce doing a superb rendition of "Jeusalem" at Canterbury Cathedral :)
Going back through your catalog here and found a great quote: a music teacher talking about Iron Maiden says "That was sneaky." Cheers =)
Hi Doug great work over the year, keep them coming. Long live Maiden.
Just stumbled on your reactions...glad you like maiden as I think they are a clever bunch of songwriters too...love em...suprised no ones mentioned The Nomad very Arabian nights sound to it...love Nomad...ty Doug ur great
Maiden's Cross Eyed Mary is the greatest cover in the history of music... Ever... 😎
Nice job commenting on the solo, Doug. Been waiting for that. You're developing too! Congratulations.
interesting tidbit of this event, is that the metal of the cannons captured by the light brigade are used in the Victoria Cross. The british highest medal of extreme valour for selfless actions in face of the enemy.
Iron Maiden kicks your ass for 2.5 hours straight when you see them live. Sweet Lord, Up the Irons 🤘🏼
