Years ago my dad knew a guy named Andy. Andy was an American (like my dad and myself) Paratrooper during WWII with a wild story. He had jumped out in France but was separated from his regiment. Andy hid in a field (from the Germans) for a week before finding his way into a French village. From there he went from place to place for an entire year and some, before seeing another American soldier. Crazy shit!
It was Winston Churchill's speech in parliament, in defiance of the Nazi war machine taking over Europe. Instead of approaching a treaty as his predecessor had desired, he decided to stand against them. This lead to "The Battle of Britain", an aerial assault of Britain which this song is based on. And as always... UP THE IRONS! 🤘🤘
Goodie, goodie. But, after all, they do not need to be defended, cause they are so good and so famous, so popular around the planet that IRON MAIDEN will never NEED to be defended vs anyone ! Ha, ha !
I dedicate this song to my grand father who flew B 24 liberator bomber over Germany. He was shot down over France. Became a POW until freed in 1944. He flew 23 missions. He was the first Native American aviator in the US army air corps. Survived the POW camp.
One of the most amazing things about this video? Every single one of the members you see here are still in the band. A VERY rare thing. I don't know of any band from the 70s/80's who still has their full classic/best lineup in place, not to mention, STILL putting out kick ass new music and selling out stadiums world-wide. No other band that I can think of can boast that.
True, Rush can be added to that list. Point being, it is a very select and distinguished list. The point I was making is specific putting out new music that is still resonating, with the same crew. That removes ZZ Top and given the recent retirement of Peart, leaves Maiden as one of the only groups from the 70's/80's, still in tact, and still putting out new music that charts and sells along with selling out arena's.
Grandpa was a US citizen that went to fly for the RAF, Flew a spitfire most of his career before being absorbed into the USAAF 8th air force. I have a deep and profound respect for the heroes of the Battle of Britain that triumphed over impossible odds. British, American, Canadian, Polish, Czech, Slovakian, French, Russian, those Who never surrendered no matter how dire the situation and fought onto the end. "Never before has so much, been owed by so many, to so few." ~ Sir Winston Churchill.
I just love Maiden. Nikko on drums cracks me up because everytime he's playing he's always smiling...everyone else so concentrated and serious but he always got a smile going on!!😂
Aces High There goes the siren that warns of the air raid Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out of the scramble we’ve got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheelblocks there’s no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it’s too late. Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again. Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces High. Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind then Move to their blindsides and firing again.

You'd probably like Sabaton, then. I discovered Sabaton and had a reawakening to Iron Maiden when I discovered quite a few of their songs are historical. The Trooper and Run to the Hills are golden.
@@OTEP1234567891011 almost all of sabaton's songs are historical*, its their theme but yea, iron maiden and sabaton both have some rlly amazing songs about history
My mother died last week from cancer and listening Iron Maiden's music or playing e guitar is helping me a lot. Thanks maiden and Bruce who is a big motivation for me ( I (16) am from Germany, please excuse grammar mistakes )
Agree,but giveearly Maiden a listen and to the original singer.This band is (IMO) the greatest metal band… and the longevity.The earliest music is well worth listening to.
Back in ‘86 I went over to my friend’s house across the street. He opened his door with his yellow Walkman, passed me the headphones and said “listen to this”. He pressed play and that was it. I begged my parents to buy me a bass and 34 years later still I play this song at least once a week.
Right onzzzzzzz well me pushes play still at least once a week too on many other songs too ...Jam up and on the bass there MATE and I following not far behinds you we are true dying breed of IRon Maiden fansss for shurrr
I had the priviledge of shaking Bruce Dickinson's hand today morning, when he was signing his autobiography in the Academic Bookstore in Helsinki, Finland. Thank you!
Iron Maiden ei ollut, vain Dickinson, uutta muistelmakirjaansa myymässä. En olisi minäkään tiennyt, ellei mun kaveri olisi sattunut kertomaan. Että ei sitä mielestäni kovin hyvin ollut mainostettu.

Hey guys. The same war and even worse is happening now in Ukraine. Because the battle for England was in the air. And in Ukraine it is happening both on the ground and in the air. Young lads are dying for their country, Russians are destroying whole towns. Stop jerking off to the past. Unless you're gerontophiles.
@@scibus2593 Ah, finally someone noticed my comment. So, you could either interpret it stupidly - I'm German, and we lost militarily. Or, you could take it as a hint how Britain is pretty much losing ever since the end of the war (which I take no joy in, quite the contrary) in terms of political and economic power.
Back in high school, my friend and I used to listen to "Live After Death" and had Churchill's speech memorized. Whenever one of us had the Great Britain territory in the game Risk, we repeated Churchill's words: "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be."
I truly admire their passion for history. "The Trooper" brought me here. Never cared for them much until I was a little older. But boy these guys freaking rock 🤘
We shall go on to the end We shall fight in France We shall fight on the seas and oceans We shall fight! With growing confidence And growing strength in the air! We shall defend our island Whatever the cost may be We shall fight on the beaches We shall fight on the landing grounds We shall fight in the fields And in the streets We shall fight in the hills We shall never surrender!
Churchill: We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, We shall fight on the seas and oceans, We shall fight with GROWING confidence and GROWING strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills, We shall never surrender.
Apparently when he went off air, he turned and added "And if all else fails we shall hit them over the heads with bottles." Who else puts this and Paschendale together with a play list from Sabaton?
If it was an actual book in schools, i would literally transfer to the school that has it, and snatch it from a student if they have it and run out of the school with the book and never come back to the school again.

Legend has it that this song is required listening for new RAF pilots for their training, and it is even played during their final exam to test the mental capacities of these future pilots.
com toda certeza mistura história recente com o som magnífico do maiden! sou fanático por essa banda fissurado no assunto segunda guerra 🇧🇷🤘 juntou bom com ótimo..
Amazing that all these guys are still in the band after over 40 years unbelievable. Bruce Dickinson got to be one of the best singers in the history of earth. And the live version of this especially in India in 2006 is nothing less than staggering one of the best live performances of all time up the irons
You grew up in a country where English is not your native language You meet Iron Maiden and listen to music that is brilliant... After years you learn the language and get to know Iron Maiden again... I like them very, very much. They never sold out, they are always themselves.

Aces High
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out of the scramble we’ve got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks there’s no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it’s too late.
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces High.
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round and come in behind then
Move to their blindsides and firing again.
Bandits at 8 o’ clock move in behind us
Ten ME 109’s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns.
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces High.

Back in high school, my friend and I used to listen to "Live After Death" and had Churchill's speech memorized. Whenever one of us had the Great Britain territory in the game Risk, we repeated Churchill's words: "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be."
Never was so much owed by so many to so few...
Aces High is the most metal song of all time. I don't care how heavy you think you are.
It's badass
Listen to evisaration plauge or dead skin mask thats heavy music
time for a crusade He said the most metal. Not the heaviest.
The music...arguable, the lyrics...most metal in history.
Mötörhead Bomber
I truly admire their passion for history. "The Trooper" brought me here. Never cared for them much until I was a little older. But boy these guys freaking rock 🤘
We shall go on to the end
We shall fight in France
We shall fight on the seas and oceans
We shall fight! With growing confidence
And growing strength in the air!
We shall defend our island
Whatever the cost may be
We shall fight on the beaches
We shall fight on the landing grounds
We shall fight in the fields
And in the streets
We shall fight in the hills
We shall never surrender!
Winston was a bad ass
Goosebumps... pure goosebumps!

The ultimate Maiden piece of music from the ultimate Maiden album!
Ah. The 80s. The era of good music.
The era of music
@FloydTheater30 The Cock Rock stuff was terrible-Like what examples?
Yeah........good music ,and Heaven ass well sir,
and shitty hair
So called "Rock" today sucks.
No thanks to rock radio stations.
Listening to Iron Maiden has become an addiction of what I never want to leave ... 🇧🇷🇧🇷
This song is the best type of drug. The sickest damn guitar riffs ever !
@@lonewolfgamingplus379 Yes! this song is my favorite.
@@mariia4596 just listen Alexander they great
The best part is no hangover. Just wanting more🤘
@@godzillasimpson8357 yes, no negative points!
I've always loved how Steve Harris sings every word.... best line up of the best metal band ever
This song still sends chills thru my spine, wow.
I wish more people would appreciate this music
Iron Maiden never let me down.
It’s never gonna run around
Me too! We do the landscaping for 2 of Dave Murray's 🏠 here on Maui and no one in our company is into Maiden at all. I've been a fan since 82
@@gardensup52 Get the hell out of here!! How lucky are you? Does he surf? I think him or Adrian is a bigtime fisherman.
💪🤘🎸
Iron Maiden never let humanity down!
I was 12 years old when I listened Iron Maiden for the first time and I LOVED THEIR MUSIC!! I've have been a metal girl since then🤘🏻😍
Jennifer De Tovar i was 5 years old when i started listening to iron maiden
Jennifer De Tovar desperately trying to get my 2 little girls into it.
Its a good life the metal life.
Jennifer De Tovar YES! LOVELY PRINCESS J! ALLDAY!
AHHH, SAME, IT'S ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN A METAL KID. I'M ALMOST FOURTEEN AND METAL IS MY LIFE
SO IS PUNK BUT YEAH
*Literally every male metalhead* wants to know your location
This is so good, energetic, simplicity in perfection, nobody makes music like this nowadays!
This song captures the pure unadulterated sense of soaring through the air in a WW 2 fighter plane.
YES
With only 3 or 5 hours of sleep everyday.
Churchill:
We shall go on to the end.
We shall fight in France,
We shall fight on the seas and oceans,
We shall fight with GROWING confidence and GROWING strength in the air.
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be.
We shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills,
We shall never surrender.
I love this song but...fuck Churchill.
@@TheBlackFrog79 yes...
@russ g are you fucking dumb or what racist
@russ g man, what's with all the racists in the comment sections of classic metal songs?
Apparently when he went off air, he turned and added "And if all else fails we shall hit them over the heads with bottles." Who else puts this and Paschendale together with a play list from Sabaton?
Churchill's voice in the begining makes this song even more epic
We will never surrender
"'If the Empire lasts a thousand years men will say, this was their finest hour"
-Winston Churchill
It actually is Eddy, Somewhere in Time.
@@Zaluskowsky Yeah, but anyway. If The Jew says it is Churchill's voice then it is Churhill's voice.
Es. Vuena
The WW2 footage, the riff, the lyrics, the opening speech... Everything about this song and video sends chills down my spine everytime.
No better way to start the day than with a little Iron Maiden \m/
Truth
+EzioHanitore
also it is a good chance to finish your night before going to sleep
+EzioHanitore It is just like fertilizing your blood with a special kind of spiritual pumping materials
+EzioHanitore no better way to start your iron maiden than with a little Winston Churchill
this will sound awkward but.. r u greek xD
Love this song! Metal+ Airplanes+ WW2 history= Awesome song
With all this old stuff re-uploaded we can admire Bruce's Hairstyle across years and decades
Octav Arium His hair is more luscious and shinier than mine...
Octav Arium Bruce is really sexy with that haircut.
Octav Arium Gotta cut me some bangs! Haha
+MoeJo110 gotta love that fringe
+Octav Arium Is this metal?
This song is a masterpiece
I don't drink coffee. I just listen to this song to wake me up.

You should be drinking tea anyway
Nice

It's like if Johnny Ramone died his hair blonde
That's one more than I can. :)
Arán Rojas Salas i love men with long hair idk why but i like it
Axl Rose?
Bruce's energy is phenomenal !!
Iron maiden is a good history teacher.
Isn't it?
Thanks to the influence of the historian Bruce Dickinson x)
Iron Maiden is more a story teller or Language teacher than History teacher
The British actually take pride in teaching history to their people and they revere the ones who came before
thanks for this beautiful world Jews
Thinking man's metal...
Killer tune. They are an amazing band to watch live.
Man they should be in a book for school, their songs are pure history! My oh my how great is heard Iron 💯💯
If it was an actual book in schools, i would literally transfer to the school that has it, and snatch it from a student if they have it and run out of the school with the book and never come back to the school again.
NO JAJA,S EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHY!!!
With the softer and softer world we live in some parent would say "he said die in the song!"

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble, we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks, there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it's too late
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
Going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
Run
Live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you
Run, live to fly, fly to live
Aces high
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at 8 o'clock are moving behind us
Ten ME-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning, our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Going in again
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Run
Live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you
Run, live to fly, fly to live
Aces high!♫

Yay! :D
Luiz Neto geez thanks.
Bloody awesome Mate!!
Legend has it that this song is required listening for new RAF pilots for their training, and it is even played during their final exam to test the mental capacities of these future pilots.
Us that an insult
Definitely the happiest and the best of the 1 drum kick kit! Up The IRONS!
The riffs are just so damn good
The riff at 2:22 must be definition of a heavy metal riff.
Essa música passa realmente a sensação de estar em caça da segunda guerra. Iron Maiden é uma banda fantástica!
com toda certeza mistura história recente com o som magnífico do maiden! sou fanático por essa banda fissurado no assunto segunda guerra 🇧🇷🤘 juntou bom com ótimo..
We shall never surrender!
And absolutely not to islam...!! Europe wake up..!!
I dedicate this masterpiece to my step grandad and my uncle who both went through WW2, survived and died peacefully in the USSR. 🙏 Up the Irons! 🇬🇧

Amazing that all these guys are still in the band after over 40 years unbelievable. Bruce Dickinson got to be one of the best singers in the history of earth. And the live version of this especially in India in 2006 is nothing less than staggering one of the best live performances of all time up the irons
One of the best bands of all time.
Greatest and powerfull song of all time! Absolute Masterpiece
“Be Quick or be Dead.” 🎶
Шедевр на все времена! Тех кто не слушает Iron Maiden сложно назвать рокером
Iron maiden is history of heavy metal
This is the very first Iron Maiden song I learned on drums. Cant stop playing it ever since.
good for you man! nice profile picture btw
@@justforplaylists6375 Thanks
Is it hard!
i misread this as first song I learned on drugs, which would still be ok
Same here mate
nicko mc brain always smile.. i love this band..
Irons tonight Floyd tomorrow morning. music is a gift to make it like Christmas morning every day to the poet with his gift..
This is probably my all time FAVORITE Iron Maiden song!
Powerslave was an AMAZING album
🤘
You grew up in a country where English is not your native language
You meet Iron Maiden and listen to music that is brilliant...
After years you learn the language and get to know Iron Maiden again...
I like them very, very much. They never sold out, they are always themselves.
Greetings from Poland, a country that played its role in WWII aviation
Aces high brother ^_^
Up the irons! Thank God for the Polish!

kudos my friend, up the irons, music is a universal language, one of piece and unity.
