Kinda hard to hear this without churchill's speech
Agreed, but I'm not sure Brad would get the connection.
@@neillenet291 both wouldn´t
@@maxis5650 it's hard to tell nowadays, you never know what history was taught in school. When I was growing up we were taught about all that stuff
@@neillenet291 maybe they have been taught, but they only remembered what was needed to pass the next test... that´s just too long ago for this generation
They sadly always seem to choose the shorter videos missing the proper intros -.-
Iron Maiden has a long history of having their songs based in history. This was an ode to the flying aces of WWII .
More specifically the Battle of Britain I think. Could be wrong. Comments?
@@craigkm5303 correct
Yep God Bless Winston Churchill
Correct...Battle of Britain 🇬🇧
@@craigkm5303 Correctamundo!
the performance of this on their Live After Death album with the Churchill speech intro just makes the track all that much more potent!
Still have the double live album!
Yeah that ‘85 live version is A hair better then studio I think
Greatest live album. Ever.
Yes sir, that's very correct, Live After Death is the one for this song!
@@arjanvijselaar534 My favorite, for sure!
Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer is an actual airline pilot. True facts
he is a lot more then that
@@syrpitt He’s an excellent Fencer as well 🤺
And also wasn't his dad or someone an actual Pilot in the RAF during WW2?
I heard that somewhere but might be wrong
Flight 666,Ed Force 1
He's also an honorary Group Captain in the Royal Air Force.
Good choice guys,respect to you and all the Airmen and woman who helped defend Great Britain in ww2.Keep up the good work,cheers.
"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 Churchill
Never have so many owed so few for saving the country
This speech always give me goosebumps.
Great Britain was alone against the Nazi War Machine, which had most of Europe by this time, and Winston Churchill stated in no uncertain terms this is a fight to the death.
@@CharlieJ69 thats why this song hits so hard, it perfectly portrays how desperate and brave the UKs defense was before the US declared war. Those pilots over the english channel were literally fighting for the freedom of the world.
This speech is Hard-Core because he meant it.. even more so, were all of those guys that did it.
Greatest wartime speech ever.
A great Iron Maiden song off Powerslave. This song is about Ace pilots of WW2 between the RAF and the German Luftwaffe. Too many recommendations to list.
Never heard of the BRAF. You mean the RAF (Royal Air Force) and the Luftwaffe. This song is specifically about the Battle of Britain in 1940.
@@snowblindoz Spitfire planes that a Canadian engineer headed the entire project for while dying with Polio at the same time. Canadian pilots and a few Americans were crossing the border to fight as well. There's actually a Heritage Moment on her.
@@daniellysohirka5079 I know the history, i've spent 54yrs studying it. Doesn't change the fact that i've never heard of the BRAF and that Aces High is predominantly about The Battle of Britain, in which people of many countries participated.
It’s about the Battle of Britain in WW2, when the British pilots in their Spitfire and Hurricanes fought off the German Messerschmitts and so the Germans couldn’t invade Britain.
not only British buddy; the most successful squadron (303) was Polish.
But The Brits sold them to the Russians anyway.
@@jankowalski6338 very true, did not mean to denigrate the brave poles who were sold down the river after the war
@@RMC1989 thank you
@@jankowalski6338 Not only that but the Polish air force defended the river clyde ship yards, if the clyde shipyards got bombed Britain would have lost the war. Thankfully the Poles did a good job and the clyde shipyards were able to produce more ships and subs than the nazi's could sink.
@@jankowalski6338 On America's orders. That deal got done at Yalta between Stalin n Roosevelt. Shortly after Britain arranged for supplies to be airlifted to Poland after the Russians occupied the East of Poland but the Russians refused them the use of their airfields. Very little we could do at that point!
Battle of Britain, Spitfires, taking on German bombers and Messerschmitt 109 fighters, defending their city's, family's and country people from attack.
That was a generation of real Heros, who did what they had to do..
Iron Maiden another Great Band..
“ME-109’s out of the sun”
There were a ton of different nationalities of pilots present at the battles, as Pilots from Czechoslovakia and Poland moved to the UK after the nations fell, along with countless pilots from the Commonwealth including Canada, Australia.
There was even a Rhodesian and Jamaican pilot.
@@kingwolf9447There were American volunteers as well. An entire squadron served from 1940 until the U.S. entered the war.
This was about the actual Battle of Britain in 1940 during WW II, when the British Royal Air Force fought the nazi German Luftwaffe air force over England.
Aces High, along with Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, are my favorite Iron Maiden songs. In fact, the whole Power Slave album is my favorite Iron Maiden experience.
saw them live 2 years ago....they had a life size replica of a British Spitfire ww2 fighter above the stage and it would move over the stage during this song...was awesome
Ditto... took my son to his first 'real' concert. Saw them 5-6 times in the 80's-90's and with this current LotB tour, they still prove to be a band to be reckoned with. In fact, they may have actually been better than decades ago.
Lex is a full blown metal head! 🤘 Her analogies are Heavy Mental!
Yes she is....Brad is to cold no feeling he doesn't understand the melodic lines 🎸🎶🎶🎵🎵😆💙👍
@@Truthjustice23 Haha. Meh...it's just not his style, that's Ok.
Steve Harris on bass is just tearing Shiite apart. And he probably wrote the song. He wrote so many of their songs. Thx for reacting to this gem. Beautiful.
I can't listen to that song without the Churchill's speech before and... ''2 Minutes To Midnight" that comes right after it on the Tape cassette.
Iron Maiden was my second concert with twisted sister 85 Long Beach arena ca first one Judas Priest great white 84 Long Beach
Saw that tour twice in Chicago once twisted ,great memories ,second time accept ,days of people throwing m80s
I love her concept of vocals and guitar melody so elegantly put and perfectly correct ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are a very patriotic band ,they have several songs about Britians wars
Some would say to the point of pettiness (over losing the 'Colonial Uprising' lol), by writing 'Run to the Hills'. Don't get me wrong, I love the song...but yeah it's like that.
@@grobin3745 Yeah but some people are just idiots aren't they?
@@grobin3745 These Colors Don't Run is another one
Krim. 😂
@@grobin3745 You realise that 'Run to the Hills' is about European explorers/travellers/invaders coming over and taking from the Natives, nothing about losing the war of independence.
Love the way lex’s brain works. Been watching reactions to this band/song for years and I’ve never heard an interpretation like that! Brilliant 🤘🏻
The "Battle of Britain"... Never did so many owe so much to so few... Look it up Brad, it's interesting history.
Up the Irons, Maiden is classic metal. Song about WW II.
Old metal is influenced by classical music and jazz music which is why its so well structured, complex, detailed, technical. Even their guitar solos. Especially prog rock, metal.
Churchill's speech in "live after death," increases the historical phatos even more. 80's Masterpiece
It's about the Battle of Britain, screaming guitar is like spitfire and hurricanes in a dive during a dogfight.
This song is about the battle of Britian which too plave in the fall of 1940 about 1 year after the start of WW2. THE ME-109 was the front line german fighter in the war. The Spitfire was the British fighter which took on the Germans over the skies of England. There is a lot of historical info out there about it. This song is also a tribute to the Royal Air Force who managed to fight off the German attackers while being greatly outnumbered. True heroes of the war.
Well said sir.
The British were lucky that the Me-109E-1 and E-3 didn't have the possibility to carry drop tanks. The Germans' "loiter time" over the English coast was only 20 minutes before they had to hurry back over the canal to the airfields of Northern France. They couldn't have accompanied bombers further into the isles even if they had wanted to.
@@revylokesh1783 The integrated RADAR along the southern coast was what the British were lucky to have rather than limited enemy loiter time. Even if drop tanks had been a capability for the Me 109 the RAF still had the advantage. It's why, with less numbers, they outdid the Luftwaffe. That and Goerings poor tactics.
@@jpgduff yeah, true, also.
Overall, it was a pretty close call for Britain though. At least there was a certain chivalry between the Luftwaffe and RAF pilots, not like on the later Eastern front.
@@revylokesh1783 If Goering had maintained the cadence of attacks then nothing the R.A.F. did would have mattered. But the Luftwaffe changed tactics giving the R.A.F. breathing space.
Also remember that any British (or Polish, Canadian, French etc - not all the heroes were british) pilot who was able to bail out was over home turf - they were back in a plane the next day. German pilots downed over the south of England were P.O.W.s and so out of the equation.
It was the perfect storm in many ways.
Maiden is firmly embedded at the top of the metal mountain, along with several other great bands.
It's so good to see how much both of you have matured in speaking about metal.... The analogy of marriage is perfect.
You should check out their live concerts especially from Rock in Rio. "Fear of the Dark" for example.
One of very few bands where the live version often are better than the studio version. Always puts on an amazing energy show.
No. The studio versions are superior. The sole exception is "Fear of the Dark," but even then it's solely due to audience participation.
@@mournblade1066 No I dont agree at all. Sure its partly because of the audience. But the songs becomes much more vibrant in their live performances.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Hallowed be thy Name, Fear of the Dark, Number 22 Acacia Avenue. So many good songs from Maiden.
KILLERS!
My favorite Iron Maiden song.. Up The Irons!
History , Maiden style.
You guys need to see Iron Maiden live. One of the best live shows you will ever see.
I will be seeing them again (6th time) live this Sept. Can't wait!!!
I've been to more than a 100 concerts and Iron Maiden are a step above every other band.
I've been listening to Iron Maiden since I was a kid. This song is of my favs. It's almost like I'm in the cockpit of the plane.
I gotta say. Lex is so insightful. Her analogy of the marriage is pretty spot on. The guitars do seem feminine, especially the guitarist makes it sing.
One of their best tracks - it was always on the metal mix cassette.
This is a song written to honor the British Royal Air Force in both World War 1 and 2. Iron Maiden's singer, Bruce Dickinson, is a commercial air pilot and always has had fascination with aviation.
Back in the days of war pilots were called"Flying Aces".
Aces are pilots who achieve 5 kills. It was a title earned. Not all that many earned it.
I knew there was some reference, just couldn't remember the details.
You guys should react to…
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
🎸🤘
That one won a poll recently, but they wouldn´t react to it, because it´s too long..
Yes. Also Run to the Hills.
@@deborahdoesslots8456 Reaction to Run to the Hills is already uploaded.
@@maxis5650 They should listen to the live cover by 2Cellos. ;)
@@maxis5650 thank you so much. I’ll check it out.
You guys should go see Iron Maiden next time they come around. Their shows are over the top and amazing. I've loved them since the 80's. MORE MAIDEN! Keep up the awesome work and open minds.
Freakin' always love Maiden!!! Long live Iron Maiden. All of them so talented
I like how you put "Classical Metal" in the title. A couple nights ago you were discussing if there is Classic Metal. Oh yes there is! This whole album is Classic Metal. It is part of a category called N.W.O.B.H.M., New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Which also included bands such as Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Fastway, Diamond Head and many others. It's fantastic category to explore because of how influential and essential to the Heavy Metal sound these bands were. Hope we'll see ya tonight, Take care!
It's also fascinating to me just how differently Metal evolved in the U.S. compared to Europe. You can see a lot more of Classic Metal in some of the genres like Power Metal that sprung up shortly after and that are to this day still bigger in Europe than in the U.S.. Europe to this day just plain does Metal different and it's even demonstrated in their massive Metal festivals like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Graspop Metal Meeting
Black Sabbath was definitely not NWOBHM. The others are, though (although I've never heard of Fastway).
70s is classic metal like Sabbath or Priest , this was new wave British metal
@@mournblade1066 I saw Fastway open for AC/DC in 1983. Fast Eddie Clarke from Motörhead, Pete Way from UFO and Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie, along with some young unknown singer. I don’t think they lasted long. You probably aren’t missing much.
@@mournblade1066 Priest was around long before nwobhm like Sabbath was and Motorhead predated it by a few years too so I wouldn't include either of them either. Only Fastway song I know is Say What You Will but it's a good one!
This was the first song I ever heard by Iron Maiden, after trading my AC/DC "Who Made Who / Maximum Overdrive Soundtrack" to an eighth-grade classmate for "Powerslave".
They quickly became my favourite band for years to come. Up The Irons!!! 🤘
I saw Iron Maiden back in 1985 on the Powerslave tour. WASP opened for them. It was the second loudest concert I'd ever been to. KISS were the loudest. I saw them on the Creatures of the Night tour before they took off the makeup. Good stuff!
ALWAYS a history lesson with Iron Maiden. Always. They’re wrapping up their US tour in Tampa on August 8th. 😁 I can’t wait!
Iron Maiden kicks ass. Always have and always will.
Up the Irons!
This song was about the Battle of Britain during WWII.
Happy to listen this song, I Don't remember the last time I did, guau! Emotional!. Great description from Lex about voice and guitar, great!
A Major Hit back in those Days....the Highlight of the NWOHM Movement.The Best Time of British Heavy Metal ever !
As many have already said, it's an awesome song based around the reality of air to air combat during WW2, where the RAF had a very short window between detecting an incoming attack and getting off the ground in order to defend against it.
The references to WW2 era planes (Spitfire, ME-109 etc) are all very clear, but it's worth noting that there was also a movie of the same name, which centred on the exact same scenario during WW1. Joining the RFC (Royal Flying Corps) was seen by some as an easy option compared to the horrors of trench warfare, but the reality was that those pilots had a life expectancy which was measured in minutes.
It would be nice to think that was a thing of the past, hopefully when Putin finally rots in his shallow grave we'll find some cooler heads to take over.
🇺🇦🇺🇲🇬🇧🤞✌🙏👍🙌👏🤙🤘🤟❤❤❤
With their radar detection system of the Lufwaffe and the Canadian woman engineer designing the Spitfire planes on Canadian soil and shipping them over while slowly dying of Polio. Those Spitfire planes were also sending lots of Canadian pilots as well, including my great grand father who was a mechanic. All that team work and the brilliance of the Spitfire plane design won the Battle of Britain.
I wish y’all could’ve paired it up with Churchill’s Speech….all in all…great reaction 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I had a feeling when I used to listen to this cassette on my walkman while working my first Summer job picking corn that it would become one of the classic metal albums of all time. I wore this thing out. Every song is classic.
One of my favorite Iron Maiden songs!
Love Lex, her analysis is always right on the money, detailed and much more accurate than anyone else I have heard doing reactions! :)
This is Maiden at the peak of their powers in my opinion. Powerslave is such a complete album. A real classic.🤘💀🤘
The battle of Britain WW11. The pilots were invaluable
One of Maiden's best. Tailgunner is also ass-kicking.
Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South florida! Love me some old iron maiden! Brings me back to my younger days. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
For just vibing it. That's pretty impressive.
Great song to listen to as a suggestion
The Rankin Family
Chi Mi Na Morbheanna
(Mist covered mountains) in Gaelic. I sang this for 2 years as my daughter's lullaby.
I just started watching you with your Iron Maiden reactions. Have to give you a lot of respect for the journey you are taking musically.
Going to see them in 3 weeks, can't wait
"Run to the Hills" is one that you guys would dig...unless you have already done it and I just missed...then never mind! lol (Props from the South Side of StL btw! Always appreciate you guys!) 😁
Of course they've done it, search on the channel, it's easy to find.
@@DerEchteBold Lol...yes they have! I even thumbs upped it at some point...man...getting old is hell! 😉
@@chrisaustin612
Oh, haha!
I'm 51 this year but I'm forgetful for decades, can't blame it on any age ; )
You guys are so cool.. thanks for the joy of watching you guys.. God bless.. peace out
To truly appreciate Iron Maiden you must enjoy history / poetry / and story telling lyrics in general. They are well versed in all three .
Yeah, the speech is a very important context point for the song.
I highly recommend The Chameleons. They were a huge, yet, underrepresented part of the post punk music scene. Their music is very dreamy too, especially songs like Less Than Human, Second Skin, and Swamp Thing. I think you both will like them a lot. 🖤
What is sssoooo cool about the guitar, there are 3 guitarists🥷🏼!! Freaking LOVE Maiden🤘🏼🥳🍻👏🏼
Battle of Britain - Note they hear the air raid siren, scramble and are hunting bombers, the Bandits are German ME 109 and the character in the song is in a Hawker Spitfires...
The bass is the stalking and waiting to attack. The guitar solos and riffs are the air battles
You're analogy about playing the guitar being like making love to a woman is spot on. If you're good with your fingers it doesn't matter what equipment you've got lol
Fun fact: The singer (Bruce Dickinson) IS actually a commercial pilot and once flew fans from Sweden to Italy for a Maiden concert...
Yes they are singing about war.
lex hits the nail on the head quite often on rock and metal. analogies I think like the marriage between the lead guitar and the vocals, it's really cool how she catches that
They always bring the energy
This is the absolute peak of iron maiden
the Live After Death Ver is the greetest
Watching WW2 , Battle of Britain footage with this soundtrack gave me goosebumps.....1989-2022...and counting, great track!
The song is about the Battle Of Britain which is a battle that happened in the air. It was also the reason did not fall to the Germans in WWII
This ways my favorite heavy metal band they invented heavy metal and speed metal
the battle for britian 'NEVER WAS SO MUCH OWED BY SO MANY TO SO FEW '
Fun fact.. The Lead singer Bruce Dickinson has his commercial airline pilots license, and flies the tour plane ED FORCE 1.
Steve Harris is a bass legend. I have been playing for 25 years, muting the un-used strings during each bar is key to getting tight tone.
I've missed you guys. It's good to be back, especially when you're reacting to Iron Maiden!
Great song, I like the guitar solo. Idk why but I think of that part in 'Heavy Metal' animated movie were those zombies arise in that B-17 bomber🧟♂️
Watch "Heavy Metal" movie nd do reaction/review.
🤘💀✌
Best band ever! Indisputable!
Thank you for sharing this with me
My grandfather worked for Northrop Aircraft during WW2. And, I always wondered what it would be like to be a pilot in that war. It would be frantic. It would be confusing. But, above that it would be exhilarating. And, terrifying at best. And, I would do it again and again.
Your wife is the bomb! My wife is also the bomb! I appreciate how both of our wives are thoughtful and because of that meaningful to us. I'll subscribe for you both.
Lex is so cute and smart honestly brad your lucky.
Fighter pilots running scrambling rolling turning diving going in again. Gathering speed as we run down the runway.
The great B.B. King named his guitar, "Lucille".
I heard Children of Bodom's cover of this song before I heard the actual song. I love both of them, the tempo was perfect for playing action games lol.
Arch Enemy also has a cover worth checking out.
You guys really need to check out their live stuff 🤘🤘🤘Up The Irons 🤘
I agree with relating guitars to females. Most of us name our guitars female names, and we use them to sing with. First song I had heard when I discovered music for myself at age 8… life changing! Cheers you two!
Great reaction and great song. One of my top 3 favs by Maiden.
I've got tix to go see them live this summer! Can't wait!!! That will be 6 times for me seeing them live.
LMAO... Lex, you made my day with all of your comments here.
They have opened their shows with this song for years. I was fortunate enough to see it live in Dallas 2 years ago
My first double vinyl record 2 Minutes To Midnight · Aces High. So this one will always hold a special spot in my heart.
That was many many years ago, and still until this day Maiden will always be Maiden to me.
Still going strong. Up the Irons!
My favorite Iron Maiden song ❤️
Love these guys. Consistently on it. Brilliant stuff.
live after death is where this song shines its best
The Battle of Britain was an ariel war with british fighters against swarms of Luftwaffe fighters and bombers coming to raid Britain from France every day. British fighter squadrons had to "scramble" to get airbourne to meet them before the Germans could reach their target bombing areas. When played live often the maidens have a mock-up of a Spitfire.
