Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

This song is based on the poem...Charge of the Light Brigade. The video shows clips of the movie by the same name. It was a battle in the Crimean War. the British against the Russians.

Aug 20, 1983, Capitol Centre. What a show. Fastway opened. The Trooper was the 5th song in the set list. Unforgettable, even 40 years later.

That sensation you mentioned of it feeling like you were riding those horses is thanks to Steve Harris superhuman galloping bass technique. He’s an absolute legend, 67 years old and still touring hard. Up the irons!!!

One of my favourites is: The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. It's a masterpiece. Live or studio, both versions are great. The studio version is cool because the sound effects are amazing, and the live versions are great because it's Iron freakin' Maiden, and they always kill it live.

Bruce Dickenson's voice is next level. This song is fantastic. His scream in Number of the Beast is iconic, you should listen to that next.

The Trooper is based on The Charge Of The Light Brigade from the Crimean war in the 1800s, hence the sense of horses galloping with that bass line and drums. The bit you stopped at with the words on screen about cannons is from the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

"I like how it sounds like you're on a horse" Maiden are known for their galloping rhythm (one of the hardest English words to spell)

Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Hallowed be thy name live performances are incredible

Bruce Dickenson is amazing. He takes the sing to wail capabilities of Robert Plant and brings them into the current era. His ability to wail and provide such power yet such perfect enunciation is legendary. The song is basically written about the Crimean war era. The (su!cidal) charge of the light brigade. It's about honour and duty and bloody stupidity. Men's lives thrown away due to stupid decisions, honour and pride. A charge in the wrong place, with all the mountains holding gun emplacements pointed straight at them. It was the most savage and pointless part of the entire Balkan war, with huge casualties. For nothing but using their enemies ammuniton. "into the valley of death rode the six hundred" Every man there knew they were almost assured to die, but duty and honour required it... and so they rode.

Another great history class from Iron Maiden. Check out the History and the famous poem.

The Trooper!!!! "The Charge of the Light Brigade". That's the name of the story this song is based on. It's about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War between the United Kingdom and Russia. In short, the song is about a small cavalry brigade of about 600 men charging at the wrong enemy objective and sustaining heavy casualties. A lot of Iron Maiden songs are based on history and literature works.

We are for the first two minutes in a song and drums player Nicko Mcbrain are just killing it with his awsome drumming skills , it's so good to see how the rest of the band tries to keep up with a drummer , such a energetic song 🤘🤘🤘 dear Bisscute make a reaction to Iron Maiden most iconic music hit called Halloweed Be Thy Name , you will love it for sure 🤟🤘

This song was based on the poem The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson which tells of a military action undertaken by British light cavalry against Russian forces during the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War. A mounted a frontal assault against a Russian artillery. The cavalry brigade suffered terribly, with 118 men killed, 127 wounded, and about 60 taken prisoner.

Great to see you reacting to Iron Maiden again. They are such a beloved group, with a large catalog of great music. Over 40 yrs worth. Stay on this journey, you won't regret it.

You are 1 of a kind! Thanks for bringing us old school metalheads back to our youth. Im 58 years old now but still remember my first Maiden 🤘 concert in 1981. In fact I still have the ticket stub ( remember when we kept them like they were allgolden

Hi, thanks for reacting to iron Madien, another first concert I seen them in Albuquerque, NM. Metal concerts back then, the best of the best! ❤🤟🤟

This is one of my favorite songs to play on bass ever. Steve Harris is just such a beast. One of these days, I'll get around to learning Number of the Beast by these guys.

one minute to midnight,,,and somewhere in time and wasted years are a few of my favorite maiden songs

I've heard this song more times than I can count and it never gets old. For a live song I'm going with Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams from Maiden England in 1988.

In your own time, you should listen to Iron Maiden’s “Phantom of the Opera” It includes one of the best instrumental breaks/solos ever written.

I've had THE TROOPER tattooed on my left shoulder blade since 1988

The last time I saw Iron Maiden live was the early 2000's. Rob Zombie opened for them. It was a really diverse show as far as concert goers go. Teens to grey haired old men. Some of them still rocking the long hair they did in the 70's and 80's

Saw them live at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on their Tour 3-4 years ago! SUCH A BADASS TIME! Everyone was loud and going crazy, it was Electrifying :D Long Live Iron Maiden!

Fun fact, Bruce Dickinson (lead singer) is also a licensed commercial pilot and frequently pilots the bands 737 on tour. Atleast he used to.

@Bisscute. Good catch. That "sounds like riding horses" is the famous "Iron Maiden Gallop", esp. a trademark of Bassplayer Steve Harris.

This song is based on the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem Charge of the Light Brigade. Which takes place in the Crimean War. Fought between Russia and the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey) where England, France and Sardinia (the island off of the West coast of Italy just south of the Island or Corsica) sided with the Ottoman Empire. The Charge of the light brigade occurred when the British attacked the Russians in the Battle of Balaclava.

The lead singer actually flys their airplane from concert to concert

All people pointing out the rhythm of song recalls galloping horses, which is true for drums and bass, but the twin harmonized guitars sound like... the Bugle at charge! No one catch this! 😁

This was my FIRST official exposure to Iron Maiden back in 1984. It was the last song on a special metal compilation called Master Of Metal, and it was my favorite track on the whole album. A "Volume II" of the compilation was released the following year and that opened with another Iron Maiden track, Run To The Hills. Another winner! Soon after that, I obtained my first official Iron Maiden album, Powerslave, and my favorite track off that was the opener Aces High, and that album remains my favorite IM album to this day. You gotta love that "glunk! glunk! glunk!" gallop of the bass! Steve "`Arry" Harris! GREAT STUFF!

Waoow..iron maiden my favorit....tanks... Loved your reaction..nice

Iron maiden are professional metal artists

One of my favorite metal bands of all time! 🤘🤘EDDIE!!

Glad to se this video, on thing you already may known , Iron Maiden is a Band wich tells you an history in almost every song, they reach the perfect balance to be hard Metal and put your mind into an story who is connected with the emotions of the moment and rithm of the song. Is a characteristic pretty unique because many bands try to do something similar but not many really made it so well.

"Hallow be Thy Name" (live at Long Beach Theater) classic performance of a classic song

"The Trooper" is about the Battle of Balaclava (1854) during the Crimean War (1853-1856), specifically about the Charge of the Light Brigade. Alfred Lord Tennyson, then Poet Laureate of the UK, wrote his poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" in 1854 shortly after the battle. A British light cavalry brigade (the six hundred) charged a Russian artillery battery and suffered a nearly 50% casualty rate (dead and wounded). It's where the English expression, "Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die." comes from. Many replace "theirs" with "ours". "Trooper" is what a soldier in a cavalry unit is called, at least in English.

The black and white footage is from the film Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) and depicts the real life Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean war in which British cavalry charged Russian cannons. Also for the film to make the horses fall down they tripped them with wires which resulted in horses becoming hurt so badly they had to be put down on the spot.

I don't say this to many women but I find your accent mezmerizing. I could listen to you speak all day long.

Bisscute, where do I begin. I grew up as a Gen X. I have been a heavy metal fan all my life. I however have appreciated different kinds of music over the years. Iron Maiden has been my most fun bands to play as I love to play guitar. I would say that Adrian Smith was closer to my style and easier for me to relate to solo-wise. I can't think of a single album I dislike nor for composition, I cannot really tell you which one is the best. The number of the beast was a great album, this is the debute album fo this singer. You can definitely not go wrong with the number of the beast. In reality, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Cannons to the left of them, cannons to the right of them, volleyed and thundered, Into the valley of death rode the six hundred.

Hi cutie from Sheffield Yorkshire England WHAT A JOY TREAT WATCHING MY FAVOURITE PERSON ON THE PLANET REACTING TO 1 OF MY FAVOURITE BANDS ON THE PLANET ❤❤

Some Maiden suggestions - Phantom of the Opera with Paul Di'anno on vocals, Powerslave, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Children of the Damned and The Clansman with Blaze Bayley on vocals.

Maiden is always best enjoyed live. You should do one of the more theatrical songs. Dance of Death, The Talisman, Pachendale or Book of Souls. 🤘

there is also an official animated version of this song, from memory animated by Camp Kaos (although I could be wrong about that)

For Iron Maiden, check out these gems: The Number of the Beast, Wasted Years, Rime of the Ancient Mariner & Aces High. Also check out Queensryche: Jet City Woman, Best I Can, Queen of the Reich, & anything off of Operation Mindcrime album. And lastly, check out Steelheat: She's Gone & I'll Never Let you Go.

I love seeing the younger generation truly enjoying the great music my generation grew up with. It's rare these days to see much talent from the newer bands. There are some good ones but not many. For more from Iron Maiden anything is good. Others have made good suggestions. One of my favorites is Run To The Hills.

absolutely love Maiden! Highly recommend you check out the live version, Iron Maiden - Aces High (Live After Death 1985) specifically. Same amazing energy!

Hi Bisscute,other great songs by them:The Clansman(Live In Rock In Río),Afraid To Shoot Strangers,Flight Of Icarus,Can I Play With Madness?,Aces High,The Evil That Men Do,Be Quick Or Be Dead,The Number Of The Beast,The Clairvoyant,From Here To Eternity,Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.🤘

I suggest this song The Trooper LIVE in Anaheim CA 2022. You will see their *10 ft tall* mascot Eddie on stage in the middle of the song.

Guitarist Janick Gers lives in my town 🤘

My first maiden show was July 1982. Number of the Beast tour....I just saw them last year for the 40th anniversary of that tour!

Awesome another Iron Maiden song!😎😎😎

3:56 that down note of Dave holy sh17

Rime of the Ancient Mariner 🤘

OMG iron Maiden reactions!!!! Finally!!

Such an amazing band. Their signature sound is basically the gallop. Great reaction

If you want to hear the most amazing songwriter, pianist, raw musician from the 90’s. Listen to Tori Amos. She was accepted into a music scholarship when 5 years old. Kicked out at 11 for being to rebellious. Mesmerising and raw

Ah. The famous Iron Maiden Gallop. Song run to the hills has it too. More pronounced than here.

Love you!!! You did my second fav song of all time!!! FIRST? INTO THE VOID! BLACK SABBATH

Awesome reaction again, I agree that Number of the beast is a must listen, also Run to the hills is terrific💖

My favorite Iron Maiden song 👊😎👊

I recommend Aces High, once again very energetic.

Notice how the horses "face planted" in these film clips? From the 1930's to the 1950's, film crews would hammer nails attached to wires to the front hooves of the horses. The horses would run out 100 yards or so, the wire would pull the front hooves out from the horses and the horses would face plant into the ground. It was an inhumane act that was eventually stopped.

Excellent, Iron Maiden are a heavy metal band founded in 1975 in London, United Kingdom by bass player Steve Harris. Enjoy your reacted beautiful Bisscute. 👍

Love how Bruce just jumps in, no build up. Also, fyi, for Bisscute, your chair dancing has gotten very good...appreciate the skill that takes ..😂

It’s about the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava in thee Crimean war of 1854

Nice reaction. Thanks a lot. Glad you like. 👍🤟 The song's lyrics are inspired by Alfred Tennyson's famous poem Charge of the Light Brigade which tells the story of an English soldier sent to the Crimea in September 1854 to fight against the Russian army.

This is a great song from a brilliant album. One of their best...piece of mind... please do some from that album.. it tends to get left out...😊

I think it's generally accepted, even among other metal bands (who aren't a shy and retiring bunch in public as a rule) that when Iron Maiden are on form, no-one else can touch them.

Great Song from the best Music Decade 😊

Loved the reaction. My suggestion for the next Iron Maiden reaction is the number of the beast? As for something different. I love cello music. Two cellos. Despacito. And anything from lindsey Stirling. ( violinist).

3 lead guitarist, same as Lynard Skynyrd. Both the best of the best!

I learned more history from iron maiden than school growing up. Hehe

Bruce Dickinson flies commercial jet planes also!! The singer...

Iron Maiden 👍🔥🎸📢🎶 Cool reaction,Bisscute ❤️🤓 Please,more reactions on Iron Maiden and Metallica.

As others have commented, this song is based on an old poem. It's one that certainly the boys from Maiden would have learned in their English schools as teens. And they somehow managed to turn this school lesson on history and literature into a total banger! But that's just what Maiden does so well. They do the same thing in Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

If you haven't done Aces High yet, its one of my favorites. My son was playing GTA when it first came out listening to the radio in the car. I was watching him play and this song came on and I'm rocking out. He says"mom you don't this song!" 😂😂😂Oh man, that was classic❤❤

u got Right it is fender (Dave uses fender guitars almost entire carrer)

Bass player Steve Harris invented the "galloping horse" bass line. Its a cornerstone of the Iron Maiden sound. Guitar fun fact: that red, star shaped guitar is an Ibanez Destroyer, its a copy (sort of) of a Gibson Explorer. Gibson designed and produced the Explorer in 1958. Its wild shape was too crazy for 1958 so not many Explorers were sold. Gibson stopped making them after just a few years. But in the early 1970s a few Explorers were popping up in rock bands. Allen Collins from Lynyrd Skynyrd played one, for example. No other guitar company copied the Explorer shape thinking it would be a waste of money and time. But, the Japanese guitar company Ibanez copied it and called it the Destroyer. Gibson guitars got pissed off and sued Ibanez for copyright violations. Gibson lost in court because the Destroyer has a few minor differences from the Explorer. While being an obvious copy of the design it isnt exact, so no copyright violation. Gibson and Ibanez are still rivals today.

By the way, look at that lightshow. Awesome. You would barely find something like that today. Well, probably at a Maiden show. Up the Irons! 🤟

THE GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY

Gotta love a girl that loves Iron Maiden!

i enjoy your video's so much,that i forget to like them sometimes😪don't worry,i will watch again and like them👍

Charge of the light brigade is the poem referenced in this video and is a big deal in the cavalry. About troopers knowingly charging into certain death. Beautiful. Thanks.

"O o o o o o o o o" - great lyrics. Just kidding, I love this song and it is about one of those events from our history that Iron Maiden are so good at putting to music. So I will recommend "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" by them, it's a fantastic song about the atomic bomb.

love this song, and your reaction to it as well Bisscute

Hello Bisscute,your looking very beautiful as always and Iron Maiden is a awesome band with many many great songs particularly Number of the beast.

More Iron Maiden reactions pls is the best band of heavy metal 🤘🏻

3 absolute musts : Phantom of the opera, Rime of the ancient mariner, and Powerslave ;)

man i remember hearing them the first time, it was 1990s. the first songs i ever heard from them was with the other vocalist, the original one, the punk guy, they were kind of a punk rock band at first,for some reason their earlier records was the one i saw in a local record bar at our block back then,there were few maiden albums there, it was new to me so i decided to grab one and gave it a try.the first album was good,then i went back to grab another album and it was the number of the beast album, and i was surprised cause the voice i was hearing was different, he had more range and power.. things got better when bruce came in, bruce gave maiden a variety of range that they didnt have with the first vocalist.

well damn I missed the premeire for this I will not miss the next Iron Maiden premeire. Sooo it has been a long time and wait for some more Maiden reactions, And I am so pleased to the see Biss hear/react to this. An all time classic metal song from my all time favorite band (Opeth also is my favorite band). I have some more recomendations for Maiden future listens/reactions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rteFlJiEx7K5j5c.html Powerslave kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJl9dt2hvbqpfJc.html To Tame a Land (one of my favorite songs by IM sadly almost they almost never play this Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zp5ojNd2vNm8lp8.html The Clansman kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJmWarB_1beVnX0.html Seventh Son of a Seventh Son kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7eYi7eby7bKkpc.html Death or Glory

40 years later and it STILL hits you the same. Right between eyes! Used to ride to school with them blasting on a kick@$$ system that would rattle windows.

Iron Maiden is a top 5 band for me. Please check out Paschendale Or The clansman

Iron Maiden was big in its time - clear, powerful rock - oh yes!

Iron maiden is undefeated and they are still making their best music.

Yep, they have rightly their status in music history and are pioneers for many generations to come. For example, also for Nemophila who have a cover of exactly this song on their channel, which I can only recommend to you. :) _____________________ 「 _Look inside the mirror of you. Can you say now is the best of who you are?_ 」--- *Nemophila* 'RISE' 💮

The Rhythm is known as a Gallop, Iron Maiden use it quite a lot!

Dance of death live version (en vivo) Hell on earth The clansman live version ( rock in rio 2001 ) 🤘😊

If you like Iron Maiden that much. I like to sugest a band from my land (Argentina) "Rata Blanca" the song is called "La leyenda del mago y el hada". Also if you get argentinian fans you will know what love and passion are, really, look it up. Nice one! keep rocking kid!

🤘🏻Up the Irons! 🤘🏻
