You always get a good history lesson with Iron Maiden. There catalog is full of songs based on true historical facts.

Specifically they are singing about the Battle of Great Britain in WW2, where they were under constant bomber attacks and the RAF fighter overcame overwhelming odds to win and keep England from being submitted. Iron Maiden is all about some historical songs written by Steve Harris (Bass), and Bruce Dickinson (Lead Vocals and pilot of their 757). Listen to Hallowed Be Thy Name, one of their all time great iconic songs

"Run to the Hills" is probably their most accessible song, if you want something that won't overwhelm Amber, but absolutely *rips*, and shows off why the lead singer got the nickname "The Air-Raid Siren". And on top of all that, it features the story of how the Plains Indians had their land taken away, told from three different perspectives: the Indians, the Army, and an outside narrator.

Iron Maiden are Heavy Metal Historians! They don't just sing about war, they sing about specific historical events. They have songs about the plight of Native Americans, Alexander the Great, Greek Mythology... they are amazing once you dig into their music.

Steve Harris arguably greatest rock bassist ever.

So many great songs. Fear of the Dark, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Run to the Hills, The number of the Beast, Can I Play With Madness, and many more. Lead singer is Bruce Dickinson. Bassist Steve Harris is the primary songwriter. This song is written about British pilots in WWII, Battle of Britain.

One thing to consider, is that all these early British metal bands grew up in the post-WWII England. They were the kids born after WWII and grew up in places like Birmingham, a seriously bombed city during that war. They probably played as kids in the rubble of destroyed buildings.

My husband has been a Maiden fan since the beginning. He introduced me to them when we started dating 12 years ago. They came to Texas in 2010 and he took me to see them 3 times in less than a week in San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston (our home). We saw them twice in Florida on our honeymoon! We also traveled to Tulsa a few years ago for a concert. Hubby's TV room is covered with Iron Maiden (and a few other metal bands) posters and collectibles. The boys in Maiden ages range from 63 to 70 now and they still put on a hell of a show!!

The bass player is Steve Harris. He has some of the fastest fingers ever. He was one of my biggest influences when I first started playing bass. I actually got to meet him backstage in 1984. It was the highlight of my young bass playing life. When he locks in with the drummer, it is speed metal magic!

Awesome reaction guys. More Maiden please! Hallowed Be Thy Name Live from 1982 is incredible.

Iron Maiden is like a musical tornado. I’d suggest “Wasted Years” and (if you can deal with it) “Number of the Beast”. Definitely my all time favorite. You did “Shout at the devil” so “Number of the Beast” shouldn’t be a problem.

Iron Maiden is one of the bands you almost have to watch their live videos. They bring so much energy, even in the older age these days.

Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Metallica. The most important bands in metal, and they deserve as much respect and shine as The Beatles, Stones, and Zeppelin.

Battle of Britain was when the Royal Air Force defended against Hitler's airborne forces. Very famous battle. Without Churchill and his forces, Britain might have come under, and still been under German control. The song does a great job in reflecting the tension, pain and drama. It's brilliant. btw... Aces.... refers to Pilot competence.

Guys, Maiden has been one of my fav's since high school in the 80's. One thing about them, their guitar solos and use of two (sometimes 3) lead guitarists all harmonizing is one of the best there is. Please consider doing Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner (preferably studio versions just to hear the clean solos). Two of their most iconic songs in my opinion.

On the last tour, Maiden opened with Aces High and they brought out this restored WW2 Spitfire. They're on tour this summer, if you get a chance to see them live, they're just phenominal.

Irn Maiden is one of my favorite bands. Nearly every song they perform holds some sort of history lesson. They do a song called Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, that is literally a renaissance era poem set to music. Or, if you want a great example of their talent I would suggest Hallowed Be Thy Name

Now you're talking. Iron Maiden got me into metal in the 80's and I'm still listening today. One of the greatest bands ever. Please don't wait another year to listen to them again. When you do check out Wasted Years. Studio version is great or the live version from the Book of Souls tour is better.

Nikko's sound, his fills, his energy... he's an absolute beast on the drums.

You need to see some live footage of iron maiden then you will see why they have so many fans and what makes them one of the greatest British Rock bands of all time

"The bass player". That is Iron Maiden. The storytelling. The catalog is soooooooo deep. Don't forget to get to some early Iron Maiden. Paul Di'Annno era. "Killers" "Phantom of the Opera" "ides of March/Wrathchild".

Hallowed be thy name live in 1982 is a good one of theirs to react to.

Just want you guys to know almost every Maiden song, their rythyms both guitar players play the same at the same time, just in different tones to harmonize! And it is amazing and their signature sound!!!!

Bruce Dickinson is pretty F-ing amazing as a vocalist and performer... energy for days ! I read an article about Iron Maiden in which Bruce espoused his entire stage style in that he HAD to perform not only for the front rows but for the beloved fans waaaay back in the cheap seats... so he had to be bigger than life on stage and really sell it to the entire crowd and you can see it in his exaggerated actions and the poses of him and Steve Harris, the bassist in every performance.

The bassists name is Steve Harris, he's got fingers of fire lol

LOVE THE WINSTON CHURCHILL OPENING!! DEFINITELY SETS THE TONE!! JORDAN, THE BASS PLAYER STEVE HARRIS WRITES MOST OF THE LYRICS AND MUSIC TOO, I BELIEVE!!! HE'S A GREAT BASSIST TO ASPIRE TO!!!!

Some of the best musicians in metal here. It's not just speed and power, which they have, but it's technical skill too--no wasted notes, even in the guitar solos. On top of it all, great production quality too. The story telling from Iron Maiden is top notch, as "Aces High" (and "The Trooper") show. I'll second the suggestions for "Wasted Years," "Run to the Hills," "Number of the Beast," and I'll add "Stranger in a Strange Land," which has some good variety/dynamics. Great reaction; thank you!

The Gods of Metal are appeased. Thank you for this one. What you have just experienced is Iron Maidens depiction of the POV from a British Spitfire pilot during the Battle of Britain, where Germany was Bombing London. These pilots went up to try and shoot down as many German Bombers as they could. The speech in the beginning is Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister During WWII) and i beleive he gave that speech in Parliament. Many of Maidens songs are based around Historical Myths or History itself. Flight of Icarus comes to mind. Thank you for the Smiles

Their songs "Iron Maiden" and "Run To The Hills" and "Fear Of The Dark" are good! Please do Run To The Hills next week!

J and Amber, Bruce Dickinson the lead singer was also a commercial airline pilot. He personally flew the band on world tours in customized commercial sized jets.

1984. I'm 15, walking past a record store and hear this, so i went in, asked what it was and bought the vinyl single. Then the album, then more Maiden, Saxon, Motorhead, AC/DC, Hawkwind. Second-hand, i got Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Doors, Yardbirds & many others. Live, i've seen over 50 bands - Robert Plant, Motorhead, Aerosmith, Sisters of Mercy, All About Eve, Guns 'n''Roses, The Mission. It all started here. Lol. Good times.

Iron Maiden was one of my favourite bands growing up and this is one of my fav tracks by them. Bruce Dickinson is a literature and history buff which explains a lot of the lyrical content and themes. Fun Fact: Bruce is also a commercial pilot, author of novels and film scripts, and he's also competed internationally at fencing.

It's been over a YEAR since you did Iron Maiden!! Please don't wait another year before you do "Run to the Hills" or "Can I Play With Madness" or "Holy Smoke"! We need more Bruce Dickinson! (Total random fact: Bruce has a younger cousin, Rob Dickinson, who fronted a great 90s alternative band called Catherine Wheel, who I think you would love. They had great songs like "Crank", "Black Metallic", and "Judy Staring at the Sun".) Great reaction!

Iron Maiden uses history and literature for the vast majority of their music. This is about the Battle of Britain in WWII. That was Winston Churchill with the intro. The Trooper is based on Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade from the Crimean War. I've actually used their songs to discuss World History with my kids. As teachers, you guys will probably love Maiden. Some other songs would be "Alexander the Great", "Powerslave", "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", and my favorite "The Longest Day", to name a very few.

The lead singer is actually considered a standby fighter pilot for the British military he’s was with the home guard. Maybe he still is maybe he’s not but he loves the fly 747 and you could look it up. He became an honorary fighter pilot for the Brits.

Amber, Love how you said “the drummer is Killer”… Iron Maiden’s second album is called “Killers” (different drummer, RIP Clive Burr) but that album cemented me as a lifelong Hard Core Maiden fan

Oh hell yeah! I’ve been wanting you to react to this song, it’s my favorite Maiden song. Honestly, Bruce Dickinson’s voice is AMAZING! Jordan, that’s Steve Harris on bass, he’s the founder, primary song writer and backing vocalist of the band. He has a very distinct and recognizable style of playing the bass, particularly his “gallop” sound. One of the best heavy metal bands out there!! Without watching I’m sure that this year has changed your opinion Amber…let’s see 🤗 “Hallowed Be Thy Name” next please. Also, this is great work out music…see how pumped it got you.

Check out "Fear of the Dark". Live from Rock in Rio preferably.

Oh yes! We gotta get some more Maiden up in here! When you have guitarists like Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, having a guitar solo for each of them is naturally the way to go. They’re an an awesome band all around. Up the IRONS!

Bruce (singer) is a pilot and flies the band from show to show. Hence his interest in writing songs with a flying theme

All right my babies.... This band plays so fast and accurate, I had to go see them for myself back in the day. Up The Irons‼️🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

They are one of the most influential metal bands of all time. You know Iron Maiden released a new album in 2021, Called Senjutsu. And they still got it. You can try The Writing On The Wall from that album. But heres some songs that you guys must react to - - Hallowed Be Thy Name - Fear of The Dark (Starts very slow) - Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - Blood Brothers (Slower Song) - Dance of Death (Starts very slow) - Wasted Years - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son EDIT: They are one of the BEST bands for live concerts. and it would be lot more enjoyable for both of you to react to their live performances.

Singer Bruce Dickinson is a legend; a true Renaissance Man. Top-notch singer and frontman; still running around and doing it at the age of 63. A pro fencer (competed internationally; even owns a fencing equipment company.) Owns a brewing company. Owns an aviation company (also a licensed pilot; has flown for British Airways, even pilots the Iron Maiden tour jet!) Was a radio broadcaster. A writer. Even kicked cancer's ass 7 years ago (full recovery.)

I love watching these videos, but it's experiencing new songs with you guys that makes it awesome. I absolutely love watching videos of you guys reacting to songs I know, but going through songs I've never heard before? Absolutely awesome. Thank you guys for being this awesome.

The secret of iron maiden is that all their songs sound like what they're about. Aces high sounds like a WWII dogfight.

Y’all hit the jackpot here!!! Maiden are great for teaching history, whether it be WW1, WW2(this one), The Bible(The Number of the Beast)….I, as a history teacher have used this Legendary Speech by Churchill as a lesson….you guys are awesome for this. Keep up the good work 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Steve Harris is on Bass, and one of the greatest of all time! I have seen them live twice and they sound just like the album!!!!

That's the phenomenal Steve Harris on bass. As far as I know he plays a fairly standard Fender Precision bass, although the body is a little heavier than most players prefer. Lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson is a classically trained opera singer (as is Pat Benetar). I believe Iron Maiden is currently touring with three guitarists, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Gotta do "Wasted Years" and "Can I Play with Madness" next.

Absolutely legendary band! I can also highly suggest: "Fear of the dark (Live in Rio version)", "Hallowed by thy name (Live version)" and "Rime of the ancient mariner (flight 666 DVD Version)" 😉👍

Trooper isn't really harder, it simply shows how much Amber has grown since. You guys keep exploring and sharing the experience with the rest of the world. ❤

Steve Harris (bass) of Iron Maiden, is the band's founder & wrote 'Aces high' in 1984... he plays Fender Precision bass (4-string) and his style of playing inspired countless heavy metal bands 🤘🤘🔥🔥Harris was inspired by 70's bands like Thin Lizzy and U.F.O. (both Lizzy's Phil Lynott and U.F.O.'s Pete Way were huge influences on his bass playing) and he also loved the complex arrangements of prog bands like Yes, Genesis and Jethro Tull... (Bassist Chris Squire of Yes was also a big influence). Iron Maiden was formed in London in 1975 by Steve Harris, after he had begun writing his own songs, but the band he was in found them 'complicated'... Harris put together the first band w/ friends he had made in the music scene, but he was constantly looking for new talent for Iron Maiden. In 1976, he was introduced to guitarist Dave Murray and was impressed by his skills - he offered him a spot in Maiden... Despite some turmoil w/ members, over the years, Harris finally stabilized the band's line-up by 1977 w/ Murray, drummer Doug Sampson & vocalist Paul Di'Anno (a 2nd guitarist proved elusive for a while). By 1978, Harris had written quite a few original songs (music & lyrics) and recorded a 4 song demo, which became a favorite in the London metal scene in 1979 and finally got Iron Maiden signed to a record label. Unfortunately, Doug Sampson was exhausted and quit for health reasons... Clive Burr (drums) joined w/ Dennis Stratton on 2nd guitar and they recorded the first Iron Maiden album in 1980. The musicianship of Iron Maiden had vastly improved since their club days, and the debut 'Iron Maiden' album brought Steve Harris' songs to full potential... vocalist Paul Di'Anno contributed some lyrics, but most of the songs on the first 2 Iron Maiden albums were compositions that Harris had written during their years playing clubs and bars in the UK - particularly impressive were the tracks 'Phantom of the opera'... 'Wrathchild'... 'Iron Maiden'... 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘 Adrian Smith (guitar) replaced Dennis Stratton on 2nd guitar for the 2nd album 'Killers' (1981)... but Maiden's relentless touring caused vocalist Paul Di'Anno to burn out and he left the band that fall. After some consideration, Iron Maiden selected vocalist Bruce Dickinson to join the band for their 3rd album 'The number of the beast' in 1982... Smith also started to write material for the band, but it was Steve Harris' songs that stood out on the album - tracks like 'Run to the hills'... 'The number of the beast'... 'Hallowed be thy name'... Dickinson was a better vocalist than Di'Anno and his high range vocals & dramatic stage presence were perfect for Iron Maiden. In 1983, Nicko McBrain (drums) replaced Clive Burr, making Iron Maiden a sonically tighter heavy metal band... 4th album 'Piece of mind' benefited from songs being written by 4 members - Harris, Smith, Dickinson and (occasionally) Murray... Harris wrote 'The Trooper'... 'Where Eagles dare'... while Dickinson & Smith wrote 'Flight of Icarus'. For the 5th album 'Powerslave'(1984), Steve Harris wrote 2 standout tracks - 'Aces high'... and the epic 13-min song 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' (which is a fan favorite) and Iron Maiden were headlining and selling out arenas all over the world on tour, going into 1985. Despite career ups & downs, Steve Harris has maintained Iron Maiden, and they are one of the top heavy metal bands worldwide today... Harris also started a solo band British Lion, that revisited his passion for 70's rock music.

Britain rules again! The amount of iconic bands, sounds and generation defining music that country produced between the 60's and 90's is ridiculous. Thank you for your service😁😁😁

I was waiting for Jay, being a bass enthusiast, to discover the mighty Steve Harris. One of the most influential bass players of all time, and my personal hero. The fact that he's also Iron Maiden's founder, chief songwriter and undisputed leader doesn't exactly make him less cool. And it doesn't hurt that he also remains so down to earth and sympathetic, even after decades as one of THE most important characters in heavy metal history.

Their live performances are legendary, Fear of the Dark, Hallowed Be Thy Name and many more.

It does my heart good to see the next generation getting to experience the music I enjoyed. I loved sharing my playlist with my young co workers, and getting them turned onto different musics.. I love your channel! Keep it up!

Even more amazing: The lead singer flies the band from concert to concert in their private 747!

great song Jay & Amber but y'all need to react to somewhere in time. just frigging amazing or hallowed be thy name

We need to give jay more of what he wants and give him some heavier bands to react to. Slipknot, pantera, iron maiden,and black sabbath to name a few. Love the channel and no offense but it seems like your picks have bin more towards what amber wants to hear. You need to expand a little just my opinion. Keep making great videos.

Love how you appreciated the song and band for who they are! You got it spot on.

Maiden is touring in Sept/Oct! Go see them live!!!!! And yes, as others have mentioned, the next song of theirs you try should be Run to the Hills! Such an amazing tune with soaring vocals and that trademark galloping beat!!!

I saw this band last night in Belfast, Northern Ireland. They were amazing and this was the song they did for their encore.

When my son first heard this song was when he was playing Grand Theft Auto. I'm behind him watching and rocking out. I say "this is my favorite songs by them" he tells me "mom, you don't know this song"😂😂😂oh, the childlike wonder. Of I had to educate him...The 80's rocked😎💞

Iron Maiden always does a great job of using the music in a song to put listeners mentally into the subject matter of their songs. Also, an Ace fighter pilot is one at or above a certain number of confirmed kills. I always felt like this song also conveyed the message that Britain had to have an air force of almost all aces in order to stave off an invasion by the Nazis.

You HAVE to go down the Maiden rabbit hole. Saw them in my hometown of Belfast last week all in their mid 60's and they are still killing it!

I first heard Maiden when I joined a cassette exchange program with kids in England thru Circus magazine. It was early 80s so... thru the mail. And I don't know how to explain what a cassette tape was... I sent KIX, ZZTop, and Billy Squire... They sent Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Def Leppard!!! I.M.'s hits album: "Best Of The Beast" is one triumph after another. Love channel! 🪂

Iron Maiden always sounds like classical music played on metal instruments to me ♥️

Aces High came out in 1984, Maiden's lineup for that year was Bruce Dickinson on lead vocals, Adrian Smith on guitar, Dave Murray on guitar ( Dave's always on the right side of the stage) Steve Harris on bass and Nicko McBrain on drums ( his real first name is Michael)

If anyone asks you what heavy metal sounds like tell them, this. Maiden is easily the most popular metal band in the world and one of the top selling bands still touring. They sell out arenas around the world. I saw every tour in the 80s and early 90s. I hadn't them since then and a few years ago I went back for the first time and it was just as incredible as it had been all those years ago. One word of advise if you're old like me and haven't seen them in some time don't get floor seats. I should've known this but the ticket had a seat number, there are no seats on the floor of an Iron Maiden concert. Just a sea of humanity. Standing on concrete for three hours doesn't work anymore.

Did you know that lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a qualified civil airliner pilot and captained the Boeing 747 the band used to fly round the world with all their equipment on recent Book of Souls tour. The band all the crew and gear used the 747 throughout the tour and Bruce has an aircraft maintenance business at Cardiff airport in Wales.

Like Sabbath, the bassust is also the main lyricist. Sabbath created it Priest gave it identity Maiden perfected it

You can't possibly go wrong with Maiden, literally any song from any album will rock your butt off.

Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. My very first concert at the tender influential age of 16. I never looked back. Check out more of their catalog please you will not be disappointed. Side note… I saw them right before Covid hit with my 21 yr old daughter and they were still amazing!!

My favorite Heavy Metal band of all times. Another band with an extensive catalog to dive into. They have been around for a really long time. Check out Hallowed be thy name or Rime of the Ancient Mariner among many others.

Iron Maiden are the top excellence of Metal and have stayed on top for decades.

The Trooper is NOT harder than Aces High by any stretch. It’s much more accessible to a non metal fan. You’ve just GROWN girl!

I'm sure you know it by this point, but the lead singer is a commercial pilot, used to fly across the Atlantic regularly. Also flew the band plane on 2 tours (I think), the last one was a 747.

I have been going to Iron Maiden shows since the 1980's. They are still just as awesome in 2022 as they were back then.

Steve Harris....man is an amazing bass player ! One of the best !

Amber, thank you, you are starting to get it!!! They are Top Notch talent!!!!

Had my boy just shaking his head in the solo. love it.

If you like guitar solos, then Iron Maiden is the band for you. They have back to back guitar solos in almost every song.

One thing that a lot of younger people maybe don't realize about bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and even Black Sabbath a few years earlier, is that they, and their audience are of the 'Gen X' generation (as am I), and we grew up with the ever-present spectre of nuclear war with the Soviet Union pervading the communal consciousness; the Berlin Wall was still up, inter-continental ballistic missiles were regularly talked about in the news, and most everybody in Europe fully expected that the Russian T-55 Tanks would come rolling thru the Fulda Gap in eastern Germany by the thousands, with a million Red Troopers behind them! We had the nuclear Sword of Damacles dangling over our heads all day, every day, so we drank, got high (it's true! Lots of good hash around for cheap back then!), and most of us scrawny pale Anglos rocked out to Iron Maiden and their ilk. Thankfully Gorbachev came along, the Wall came down, cocaine got too expensive, and we all outgrew our pensive youth and got jobs; and now Iron Maiden is a fond nostalgic throwback to the days of always being juuuust a bit paranoid 24/7... Also, Bassist Chris Harris was a founding member of the band, and wrote many of their tunes; he was widely regarded with awe for his dexterity and talent. And, he played a Fender P-Bass, then, and now, probably the most popular model electric bass, for good reason. I own 4 or 5 myself. Cheers!

Iron Maiden is one of the best metal bands that have survived the test of time. Bruce Dickenson, the lead singer is 63. Steve Harris, the bassist is 66. Dave Murray, the guitarist on left stage, is 65. The guitarist on right stage is Adrian Smith, who is 65. Jan Gers, who is the third guitarist, not in this video, is 65. And the drummer, Nicko McBrain is 70. These guys still tour with the intensity they had in the 80's. Which is no small feat. Steve Harris is the founding member on Iron Maiden, which formed in 1975. The other oldest member of Maiden is Dave Murray, who joined the band in 1978. Bruce, who joined the band in 1981, is also a jet pilot, who flies the bands aircraft, EdForce 1. In 2022, their tour consists of 44 concerts in 17 countries. Given their ages, that is phoenominal.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but Bruce Dickinson the lead singer is a pilot. And flies the band, crew members, and all of the equipment all over the world! Many talents in this band.

Ohh my gosh yes!!!! Need more Irons Maiden. runto the hills, number off the beast, Hallowed by thy name. Soo many great songs

Steve Harris bassist, writes a lot of the songs. He is playing a Lado 4 string. He played these briefly before going to Fender. One of the most popular bands in the world with very little airplay.

Went to a maiden concert and we snuck backstage and just hung out with rodies and staff and watched a couple songs from backstage! They finally realized we didn’t belong there and kicked us back out in the audience. 🤣 what a night!

Steve Harris is the reason I picked up a bass at 11 years old. And still playing almost 40 years later.

Im so glad you listened I'm going to their concert in a few months I cant wait love live music my favorite bass guitarist

And Bruce Dickinson is an actual pilot, actually if you take a flight from or to America to London and hear over the speaker “ this is capt, Dickinson, “ it’s probably him. LoL!

Bruce Dickensen is a qualified Airline pilot and thats what he does as well

It's awsome to see you two jam to what I jammed to in the 80s.

Steve Harris is the bass player and writes all the lyrics. Nico McBrain is the drummer and Bruce Dickinson is the lead vocalist. Dickinson joined the band in 1981 or 82 after Maiden vocalist Paul Deanno either quit or was kicked out. Maiden's first 2 albums are brilliant with Deanno singing. If you wanna hear some insane guitar playing check out Phantom of the Opera off Maiden's first record which is self titled.

Just to add something different, the bass Steve Harris is playing that resembles a Gibson Thunderbird is made by a high-end, Croatian born luthier based out of Toronto, Canada. Every guitar you see, is actually made by LADO Guitars. Steve is playing a model called "Unicorn Bass" and the funky angular guitar Adrian Smith is playing is called a Lado "Earth" guitar. Even what appears to a typical Dave Murray Fender Stratocaster, black with a white pickguard, is actually made by Joe Lado as well.

THEY STILL HAVE THAT ENERGY TOO!!! Bruce has so much Stamina. Husband and I went to a sit in session with Bruce and he is absolutely hilarious!

The lead singer Bruce Dickinson was also a world class fencer. He has several silver and bronze medals in world championship fencing and in the 2000 olympics he was 5th in the world.

Iron Maiden "Hallowed be thy name " live 82 best song ever

That was Winston Churchill's speech before the Battle of Britain & the "Aces High" were the British airmen who saved Britain. After the battle, Churchill said : “The gratitude of every home in our island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the world war by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.“ This was what the song was about.

I may get to see them again this year! Best show in rock & Roll...& that's Winston Churchill at the beginning...check out Run To The Hills, Revelation, Flight Of Icarus, Fear Of The Dark & Ryme Of The Ancient Mariner...anything off of Powerslave will knock your socks off...

I've been listening to Iron Maiden for over 40 years now they are worth the time.
