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
That concert was in Chile in 2011, 55k people singing like 1.
Historic piece of rock
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.
Hallowed be thy name is the most deepest Iron Maiden song to me and this is my second most favourite.
“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...
@@jeffkoftinoff4503 "only the dead have seen the end of war" ~ George Santayana (Soliloquies in England) "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" (The Life of Reason) ~ George Santayana
These men have been going for 50 years and have more energy and talent than most of the young bands. I saw them in 2019 and they were unbelievable.
"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!
Into the Valley of Death rode the six hundred. Canon to right of them, Canon to left of them, volleyed and thundered THE TROOPER!!! 🤟
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 😅
The song is based on the Battle of Balacalva during the Crimean War. Made famous by the poem The Charge of the light Brigade.
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.
He has also authored novels and film scripts.
Bruce Dickinson never went to the Olympics, but he dueled an olympic level fencer in 2001 and in 2013
Most Maiden songs tell the stories of history... Delve deep man and enjoy
Iron Maiden has a fantastic catalog of music. Keep going for sure.
I believe the song is in reference to the crimean war from october 1853 - february 1856
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.
‘fear of the dark’ in rio should be your next one… epic performance by both band and crowd
NOxd
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.
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.
I’m 62 and they still do it for me. Best metal band ever
These guys put on a very high intensity, high powered show! They are famous for their concerts!
hands down my favorite band of all time, been a fan since the mid 80s or so
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
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.
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
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"
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."
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.
5:45 Is when BP realized that h'd been sleeping on Iron Maiden his whole life.
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.)
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.
Up the Irons.This band is legendary heavymetal group.🤘🤘
You're finding all the good stuff now...well done!
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.
A French officier said on this day "It's wonderful but that's not the war"
Iron maiden captures my teen years in the 1980s.
Lots of history set to a driving beat.
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
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.
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 😝
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.
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.
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
If this is from En Vivo, it's filmed in Chile in 2011, so the band will be in their 50s at that point
Listening to Maiden is a Rabbit-hole..a great and awesome one.. .."Run to the Hills" next ?? :D
Hell yeah back to my teenage years
This concert was in 2011 in Santiago, Chile!
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!
The Maiden! I now understand why I been seeing them dam Iron Maiden t-Shirts all my life! Their musicianship is unmatched! It's amazing those guys was playing like that and they what in their 60s? Yeah they belong in the Titans of Metal class!
Rime of the ancient mariner flight 666 DVD next, you won’t regret it.😊
"2 minutes till midnight", "number of the beast", and "tail gunner" are Iron Maiden must listens
Children of the damned also
@@dickcaraniun1.1969 Fear of the Dark! pretty please
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!!
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.
Iron Maiden is the GREATEST(live;]BAND in the world now and forever🤘
Up the mighty Irons!!!🤘🤘🤘
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.
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 😊
This song is based off of the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War in 1854. It was a war fought with the British, Ottoman and French Empire against the Russian Empire. The charge (British cavalry vs. Russian artillery) was a military blunder that lacked accurate military intelligence coupled with unclear orders.
I last saw them about a month ago, and they still rock like 20 year olds. "Up the Maidens!" Awesome.
Saw them in 2019
in Nashville 40 years and still smashed it. Best Live Show Ever!
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
Run to the Hills is a must❤
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.
Bruce is one of the gods of metal. he has so much positive energy on stage
i believe this song is based on The Charge of the Light Brigade. a lot of their songs are very historical.
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.
Hard to believe Bruce is 65, wow. Great vid BP
It's the Battle of Balaclava.
Cannons running left of them
Cannons to the Right.
The Trooper.
A Glorious adventure of young English men that were wiped out .
On The orders on the Aristocracy.
One must know its history.
Nice post though 🤟🤟🤟🤟
.
The Battle is, the Battle of balaclava ,BP..
And they are from London buddy, formed in 1975...😁👍
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!
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!!!
My favorite band and favorite song of all time. Thanks bro good job 👍
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
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 best 🤘This concert was in Chile, i was there. I've seen them 10 times, they're my favorite band 🎶
I want to see you do more Iron Maiden reviews! That was an EXCELLENT and heartfelt review!
Iron Maiden, come for the amazing stage show…stay for the history lessons, love it
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-)]
Saying as much as you can in as few words as possible… that’s poetry
Love from Lisa the autoimmune and lyme warrior - Love to watch you air drum 🥁 and guitar 🎸 😊💚💚💚
Iron Maiden have so many Amazing songs...so many bangers man and they always tell a story its not just mindless rambling.
Seen Maiden live 7 times. You will never forget a Maiden show. You HAVE to see them live while you can!
An hour and twenty minutes of bliss when seeing them in concert. Long Beach Arena in the early to mid 80’s, they were at their pinnacle, and I saw them every time they came to town. This video is from their world tour, when Bruce (the lead singer) piloted their jumbo jet around the globe. It’s *must see*. Up The 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.
You should never listen to a live version a song you have never heard before. Plus the REAL video is AWESOME!!
Lmao, brother your theme song 4your show is Awsome!!! Totally cracked me up. I hit “subscribe” right when I heard it!
That’s f@ck’n funny as all get out, Yesss!! ; )
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
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/
I will never forget hearing this song the first time. I was an instant Maiden fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lead singer also is the pilot that flies their tour jet, ... And the bassist writes most of the songs....
When you realize That Bruce beat throat cancer and is the bands Pilot flying all over the World and it's still all the original members, just Wow pure Respect to all the Talent from every member of the band
Every member of the band are amazing musicians!!!! What is insane, take a watch when you see these live videos is to the bassist Steve Harris….. simply a genius musician and artist!!!!
Well done sir, as always!
Iron Maiden. Final set at Download frstival 2017. 85,000 people going nuts. Its so amazing to be in the centre
Horns way up! Iron Maiden!! The endorphin levels after a metal show are unmatched.
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.
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 Iron Maiden rabbit hole goes far and deep. An exploration you wont regret!
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
Check out Japan's answer to iron maiden😂 with (lovebites) all female band😮 holy war live❤
Metal music historie by Iron Maiden the hardest working band out there pure talent ❤️incredible musicians
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
when i was in JHS painted Jean jackets with your favorite Metal band on the back was a thing- My first jacket had Eddie on the back from the Killers album. They had some of the best album art in the 80s by far. They also had some great concerts !
I seen them in 82. Best show I've seen.
