The poem The Charge of the Light Brigade by Lord Tennyson is what this song is refer to. A lot of Iron Maiden's songs are historically based. Look at Run To The Hills, it is based on Native Americans their reaction to the settlers in one verse and the Army in the next. Worth looking into. Another great song react to the live version of Fear Of The Dark.
Fear of the dark at Rock in Rio, the best life performance ever
Run to the Hills was my introduction to Maiden, I think I was 12 or so. Blew my mind. Found it on a metal compilation that includes Tom Sawyer by rush, Rainbow and others. Definitely began my love of Metal music.
@@bline5891 I used to go to a heavy metal night club, and fear of the dark was the only song where everyone always specifically requested the live version. The club only has a capacity of about 700 people, but with the live version and everyone in the club singing it felt like you were at a festival.
Best classical reference to me from them is rime of the ancient mariner
@@bline5891 I 100 % agree man . bloody brilliant x
These guys exemplify what it means when someone is a performer. High energy, high octane, get the crowd involved, and absolutely kill it. There are few live artists/bands better
iron maiden can play on every place on earth and they will have more fans than eminem, snoop, dr. dre and 10 other famous rapper together...^^
@seelenwinter6662 Right. They just had to add another show in Brazil, the same venue on the next night. Up the irons! 🤘🤘
Up the fucking IRONS!! !m!
@@walkawaycat431 Saw them in Hannover Germany last June, absolute Epic, they are still killing it.
I was in Köln.
That concert was in Chile in 2011, 55k people singing like 1.
Historic piece of rock
“Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them, Cannon behind them volley’d and thundered stormed at with shot and shell while horse and hero fell!”
this passage was read by Geoffrey the butler in Fresh Prince when he played the poet Raphael de la Ghetto. This was his character sneaking in the very real poem by Lord Tennyson a poem about the battle described in this song.
It was the Battle of Baclava (oops sorry Balaclava I typo'd), Crimean war 25 October 1854. The Poem was “The Charge of The Light Brigade” a very gruesome battle well summed up by Iron Maiden.
"Into the valley of death rode the 600"
What blows my mind is that there is a recording of the Bugler from the charge, sounding the same Charge a few years later:
ua-cam.com/video/Qke-zjjYssM/v-deo.html
Private Martin Leonard Lanfried (1834.8.25 ~ 1902.12.8) of 60th Rifles of British Army, re-enacts the very same bugle which he did at the charge of the Light Brigade during Crimean War, on August 2nd, 1890, at Edison House, London.
@@Tommy-he7dx thats awesome
... the same Crimea which Is being fought over again today between Russia and Ukraine...

Iron Maiden's mascot 'Eddie the Head' was something their manager decided to utilize after the band got signed in 1979... In their early club days, Iron Maiden had a silver mask onstage as a stage prop - it would spew smoke and drip fake blood during their sets... Steve Harris called it 'The Head'... but in his thick British accent, it sounded like 'The Ed'... hence, the name 'Eddie'.
Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood noticed in 1979 that none of the members of Iron Maiden were flamboyant rock stars offstage... Steve Harris was shy and soft-spoken... then-vocalist Paul Di'Anno was also a nice bloke... So, Smallwood wanted a character that would act as the band's visual mascot - he could do all the crazy things on paper that Maiden could not do in real life.
Smallwood contacted a London artist Derek Riggs, who showed him his portfolio (mostly science fiction artwork) ... and in the middle was this painting of a ghoulish corpse w/ hollow eyes and punk rock hair, standing in a dark street. It was the first Iron Maiden album cover in 1980... Riggs said the inspiration came from a photograph taken during the Vietnam war of a soldier's severed head stuck on a Vietnamese tank... Riggs was hired to do all the Eddie artwork for Iron Maiden until 1991 (He claimed he got fed up of drawing 'Eddie') and other artists took over making Eddie artwork for Iron Maiden from 1992 onwards.
Iron Maiden soon hired people to sculpt giant Eddies for each album's tour cycle... They would have a huge Eddie walk out onstage during the concerts and appear behind the stage at the end.
'The Trooper' was released in 1983 from their 4th album 'Piece of mind'... it became Iron Maiden's signature song, written by bassist Steve Harris about the British Light Brigade that fought against Russian forces in the Crimean war of 1853.
thank you so much for that. i learned a lot about a band i used to love, and am now starting to listen to again
I wish i contacted Riggs I was just a kid in VA 😅
Rime of the ancient mariner flight 666 DVD next, you won’t regret it.😊
The song is based on the Battle of Balacalva during the Crimean War. Made famous by the poem The Charge of the light Brigade.
Love this! 🤘UP THE IRONS! 🤘
This song was written by Steve Harris (Bass player) inspired by the poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade" about the Battle of Balaclava (1854) during the Crimean War.
Please react to "Invaders" from the album The Number of the Beast. Obviously by the title, another "war" song with amazing lyrics and imagery.
The song refers to the charge of the light brigade. As I understand it, the light brigade was a rapid attack unit designed to clean up at the end of an attack. Due to a miscommunication they were ordered to initiate a full frontal attack. Something the heavy cavalry would do. 600 soldiers charged to their deaths on a mistake.
Bruce Dickinson lead singer is also a qualified commercial airline pilot an Olympic Fencer, He has won two World Championship silver medals (1998, 1999) and two European bronze medals (1995, 1997) and was no. 5 in the 2000 Olympics. On 6 January 2020, Dickinson was made an Honorary Group Captain of 601 (County of London) Squadron RAF
He is also a professor of ancient history, got his degree back in 1979 at the Queen Mary University of London.
Iron Maiden has a fantastic catalog of music. Keep going for sure.
Your mom was worried about The Number of the Beast album...lol...my mom was clutching her pearls when she heard that album through my bedroom door at 14...I think I turned out ok...😂😂...every song on that album is a banger!!
Iron maiden captures my teen years in the 1980s.
Lots of history set to a driving beat.
You're finding all the good stuff now...well done!
I got so much extra credit for bringing in Iron Maiden songs in high school history and English classes in the late 80s/early 90s. This, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Alexander the Great. They also helped me get though the Satanic Panic of the 80s and see how full of crap it was. That and playing a ton of D&D (often while listening to album after album of Maiden.)
‘fear of the dark’ in rio should be your next one… epic performance by both band and crowd
NOxd
If this is from En Vivo, it's filmed in Chile in 2011, so the band will be in their 50s at that point
The original video has scenes from the black and white film The Charge of the Light Brigade...check it out.
Written by bassist and founding member Steve Harris, the song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took place during the Crimean War, and inspired by Lord Tennyson's 1854 poem of the same name.
Iron Maiden was formed in the UK, and some of the current members have since settled in the USA... Nicko McBrain (drums) lives in Florida (which is also where AC/DC' singer Brian Johnson and bassist Cliff Williams reside)... Dave Murray (guitar) lives in Hawaii... and Adrian Smith (guitar) lives in California... The other still reside in Europe.
"2 minutes till midnight", "number of the beast", and "tail gunner" are Iron Maiden must listens
Children of the damned also
These guys put on a very high intensity, high powered show! They are famous for their concerts!
Also the song is about the Charge of the Light Brigade, which happened in the Crimean War in the late 1800's if im not mistaken
They have an album that broke them big with "The Number of the Beast" and have a song with the same name. The song was inspired by a nightmare the bassist had after he watched the movie "The Omen." It was because of that one song and album cover they were labeled "Satanic" in the USA. They are definitely NOT Satanic. Many of their songs are inspired by war, literature, poems, movies, and history. They are simply an amazing band.
This!
Yeah the "satanic" comment is funny since Revelation in the Bible talks pretty much about the same thing.
exactly...they were more or less doing a "Bible Study" to music 🤣@@rmckellip
Steve Harris, Bassist and founder of Iron Maiden is often the main songwriter and lyricist who writes songs about historical events and poems. Other members of Iron Maiden contribute their songs to albums such as Bruce Dickinson, singer and Adrian Smith of 3 guitarists wrote song called The Writing on the Wall for Maiden's 2021's Senjutsu. Senjutsu in Japanese means "Tactics"
hands down my favorite band of all time, been a fan since the mid 80s or so
They are still going strong, saw them a couple of months ago, and they are still as tight as ever they are touring the States, Australia, New Zealand and South America next year.
I would recommend the following live tracks
When the wild wind blows
Fear of the dark
Paschendale
Clansman
Dance of death
One of the greatest bands to see live, being in the crowd is an insane experience and always full of the friendliest people i’ve ever met.
Run to the Hills is a must❤
You should never listen to a live version a song you have never heard before. Plus the REAL video is AWESOME!!
Hard to believe Bruce is 65, wow. Great vid BP
"Where Eagles Dare", "Number of the Beast", "Children of the Damned', "Phantom of the Opera", "Somewhere in Time", "Wasted Years", honestly sir, we could be here all night! Welcome to the family and damned proud to have you! UP THE IRONS!!! !m!
The bugle pronounced beeoogle is a trumpet 🎺 used in war to announce a charge also played on military bases to single the start and the end of the day.
not bulge as BP said 😝
Most Maiden songs tell the stories of history... Delve deep man and enjoy
i believe this song is based on The Charge of the Light Brigade. a lot of their songs are very historical.
I have seen Iron Maiden several times in the eighties and 35 to 40 years ago they were the best band live that I had/have ever seen. Rock on BP
I love your reaction Dude! Maiden has been around for 45+ years and are still touring and kicking ass live! Most of their albums are concept albums often revolving around historical events. Enjoy discovering them, you won't regret it.
Crimean war, this song describes a military blunder that sent the light brigade, a cavalry regiment straight at the Russian guns where they were obliterated.
This concert was in 2011 in Santiago, Chile!
Iron Maiden is the GREATEST(live;]BAND in the world now and forever🤘
Up the mighty Irons!!!🤘🤘🤘
Their first album came out I was nine years old and it scared the shit out of me and then you get to know the musicians and you realize it's all just a show for entertainment.
Please do Fear of the Dark - live
Growing up with these guys and the Heavy Metal genre at it's roots ( I was in high school in the 80's, so just a little older than you ), it is so cool to see someone experience this for the first time. The 80's were magical.
Let me start with, I love your channel! From Tim Minchin to Tech N9ne to Iron Maiden to Charlie Daniels. I've been a Maiden fan since 1984. Thanks for your variety and open mind to music and for introducing things to your counterparts and friends! I truely enjoy your format. Thank you from Maine,USA.
Hallowed be thy name is the most deepest Iron Maiden song to me and this is my second most favourite.
The Eddie depiction at the back of the stage? I had that as the centrepiece on the back of my motorcycle helmet 20 years ago, except he's holding a chequered flag not a union flag. As the front of the helmet had the union flag. Even though it's now unwearable, I still have that helmet. My son and I saw Maiden the week Bruce turned 60 years of age. He still runs around the stage like a lunatic when performing this (and pretty much every other) song.
The war was the Crimean war 1853-1856. Between an alliance of Britain, France and Turkey against Russia in the Crimean peninsular. The song references an action during the Battle of Balaklava which became known as the charge of the light brigade. Where Britain's Light Brigade (cavalry) were mistakenly sent against Russian gun batteries at the far end of a valley in what was regarded as a near suicidal act from which they suffered huge casualties. The action was captured at the time in a poem by Lord Tennyson:
"Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred."
Still on the go after 48 years . Seen them in June and as good as ever. All in their mid to late 60s with energy of teenagers. Plenty more to react to as there's 17 albums to choose from. Live versions are the best. Have fun 😊
Seen Maiden live 7 times. You will never forget a Maiden show. You HAVE to see them live while you can!
They clearly still love what they do, cos they certainly don't need the money! I recon they'll carry on until one of them passes.....Best live band ever!
Up the Irons.This band is legendary heavymetal group.🤘🤘
Into the Valley of Death rode the six hundred. Canon to right of them, Canon to left of them, volleyed and thundered THE TROOPER!!! 🤟
This live show was shot in Santiago, capital of Chile over 2010. Maiden move real massive audiences in Latin America. This is one of their most classic songs, from their 1983 album Piece of Mind. Is remarkable the lyrics tell about a battle that England lose.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner from the live album Live after Death ua-cam.com/video/OXLijZGDK2A/v-deo.html and Alexander the Great ua-cam.com/video/ugK-O2FU_X8/v-deo.html are my two all time favorites.
Iron Maiden are one of the best bands ever, they're coming state side next year, I'm gonna try catch them, you should too, you'd love the show
Well done sir, as always!
This video needs more Likes. 👍 Come on people, hit that Like button!
You really should listen to the whole album 7th son. It’s a concept album that tells the tale of a mystical “7th son” with special powers who gets seduced by the devil’s daughter, how the forces of good and evil tear at him and seek to exploit his powers, and how he ultimately transcends the struggle. (Just know they are portraying the devil as a villain in a story, not endorsing devil worship.)
Really like this reaction man, these guys got me into guitar playing years ago and paved the way for me to play on for 20+ years. Respect for you being open minded to many genres!
The Brazilian crowds LOVE their metal music. Any Maiden stuff from Rock in Rio (any of the times they played the festival, but specifically their album from the 2001 show) is incredible. They go nuts for this music down there, and for good reason. So much crowd participation, just a sea of people rocking out. Love it.
Fantastic reaction!👍
With many Iron Maiden songs, you get an accurate history lesson. The Trooper tells the account of a British soldier in the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War. Lord Cardigan led the British cavalry against Russian forces during this battle on 25 October 1854. Lord Raglan had intended to send the Light Brigade to prevent the Russians from removing captured guns from overrun Turkish positions. However, there was miscommunication in the chain of command and the Light Brigade was instead sent on a suicide mission charging straight at heavy Russian artillery which cost the lives of about three hundred British soldiers. Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote a poem to commemorate this disaster and he called it "The Charge of the Light Brigade".
The bronze that the recaptured guns were made from was used to make the Victoria Cross, a military medal of the very highest order that was awarded "for valour" and designed by Queen Victoria herself. Very few of these have ever been awarded, even to this day.
Other great Iron Maiden history lessons you could check out.... Run to the Hills, Alexander the Great, Paschendale and Empire of the Clouds.
I've been a Maiden fan since hearing their debut album in 1980 when I was 10 years old. I've seen them live every time they've played in London, their home ground, and they never disappoint. Up the Irons!!!
it refers to the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854; and after the show they left with a 747 (EdForceOne) for travelling to the next show with Bruce Dicinson (the frontman) as a Captain flying. Powerful. Greets from Germany
I want to see you do more Iron Maiden reviews! That was an EXCELLENT and heartfelt review!
My late husband loved Iron Maiden. I used to call it 'melodic thinking man's metal' which always made him laugh. Great memories of him listening to this song and wearing his 'maiden' t-shirts you mentioned.
I don't know where you are located, but Iron Maiden is coming to Charlotte, NC next Nov. Tickets are on sale, but the cheapest ones are $130 each (+all the fees and taxes). Unfortunately, with the way the economy is, I won't be able to make it this time around. The sad part is, this may be the last chance for me to see them live. I'm having trouble with mobility, and let's face it the band isn't getting any younger. I would love to see you, AKA, POLO, and a bunch of other do a live reaction.
Bruce is one of the gods of metal. he has so much positive energy on stage
Now you're getting into one of my top 5 bands!!!! Hallowed was a great introduction but this is Maiden. I was 17 or 18 when this came out. I've seen them back in the early 80 and they rock just as hard now as they did then well into their 60's. Maiden is one of those bands that you can close your eyes and literally see the story. Mind blowing to see live.
Hell yeah back to my teenage years
This is the song that got me into Iron Maiden back when it was referenced in the book of World War Z. The military would blast it over PA speakers before a battle trying to psych up our soldiers while at the same time luring the zombies into a kill zone
1983, Ruesselsheim, Germany. Michael Schenker had opened up for them, high as a kite, needed a roadie to play his licks from behind a wall of Marshalls. Then darkness, silence - suddenly a flash of light and 4 guys running to the front of the stage. This was the first number of their set this evening and although i'd heard it dozens of times on the record before, it was a whole different beast seeing them live. On of the greatest nights i had, musically i mean 8-)]
The flag is called the Union Jack
When did this happen... The past 45+ years Maiden has been this good live
When you read the lyrics back it makes me think of it as poetry... which ive never done before... and ive been a maiden fanatic for 2/3 of my life.
We Love your reaction vids👍 Blessings from the european Rock Army 🤘
The Crimean War of the mid 1850’s had an event were orders were miscommunicated and the British Light Cavalry Brigade, being duty bound soldiers, took their “perceived “ orders and plunged into a suicidal charge. They charged knowing they were not coming back!
Lord Tennyson wrote a poem inspired by the event that addressed the dichotomy of honor in the field of battle and faulty orders by flawed leaders.
It is called in literature “The Charge of the Light Brigade”.
Iron Maiden writes a lot of songs about historical events.
And this one honors “the Trooper”.
This song is about a famous battle also known as "The charge of the light brigade".
Maiden also wrote a song (Aces High) about the "Battle of Britain" which was the most pivotal battle for air superiority of Britain during WW2.
Great Reaction! ❤
Up The Irons!! \m/,,\m/
The actual video to the trooper is f****** dope
As the story goes....."Written by bassist and founding member Steve Harris, the song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took place during the Crimean War, and inspired by Lord Tennyson's 1854 poem of the same name."
Very few bands make it this long, but Iron Maiden playing at this level, decades after they begun, is absolutely outstanding.
As far as music goes (amongst other things) I'm damn happy... I Am, GenX!
I like the original video better but this is one of my favorite songs.
Iron Maiden actually have a song about William Wallace/Braveheart called "The Clansman"
I'd definitely recommend checking out the Live at Rock In Rio version from 2001, both the crowd & the energy are INSANE 🙌
Love Iron Maiden. Tthry are so unique. Their songs ate tales. Feel like listening to an ancient tales. A journey traveling into a trip of epic proportions.
The Iron Maiden rabbit hole goes far and deep. An exploration you wont regret!
Love from Lisa the autoimmune and lyme warrior - Love to watch you air drum 🥁 and guitar 🎸 😊💚💚💚
Bruce Dickinson (lead singer) is also an airline pilot, he flies the band's 747 when on tour and has also flown thousands of troops in and out of warzones.
The best 🤘This concert was in Chile, i was there. I've seen them 10 times, they're my favorite band 🎶
Listening to Maiden is a Rabbit-hole..a great and awesome one.. .."Run to the Hills" next ?? :D
Yesss! More Maiden!!!
Iron Maiden have so many Amazing songs...so many bangers man and they always tell a story its not just mindless rambling.
The Crimean War
1853 - 1856 between the Russian Empire and an ultimately victorious alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, the United Kingdom, and Sardinia-Piedmont.
Other live songs with great energy:
Fear of the Dark (same show in Chile - En Vivo) This is actually better than the original studio recording because of the crowd's energy.
Aces High (Flight 666 live show)
Revelations (live Australia 2008)
They still slay live. 🤘🏻
Horns way up! Iron Maiden!! The endorphin levels after a metal show are unmatched.
Love it!
"The Charge of the Light Brigade" is an 1854 narrative poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson about the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. He wrote the original version on 2 December 1854,
Been to 9 Maiden concerts over the years starting way back with the Number of the beast tour (I was around 10yrs old) all the way up to the last tour and I'll be going to number 10 when they come here next year. \m/
Rhyme of the ancient mariner should be your next reaction. The storytelling prowess of these men is exemplary. The mood, Bruce's delivery of the lyrics, and the musical skill displayed are uncanny.
Iron maiden are absolute legends. I was 3 years old and still vividly remember going to my local store with my mother with my birthday money and buying iron maidens self titled album and a motorhead.... nearly 40 years later i still listen to them regularly
I just want to see your reaction to Ed Force One arriving with Bruce at the stick.........its that moment you realize.....these guys are just on a much higher level than 99,99% of all other bands/artists
This song is about The Charge of the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava, 1854. Iron Maiden makes a video of this song with old clips from movies about this battle. You should watch that one, it takes the song to a whole different level.
I had the privilege to hear them live in Zagreb back in 2013.
Gotta love a maiden boost in your life
