Was introduced to Iron Maiden via MTV & this song has Always been my favorite in their Gargantuan song library! If you're looking for other Maiden songs involving history, suggest you checkout....Aces High, The Trooper, Alexander the Great, Empire of the Clouds & The Red & The Black...among others!...Up the Irons!
I really hope you dig into some of Maiden's deeper cuts, that's where their real gems are. Everyone only listens to Run to the Hills, The Trooper, Hallowed be Thy Name and Fear of the Dark, but Maiden's catalog is MASSIVE and their best songs are the ones most people never react to.
I have their whole catalog of studio releases, on cd or vinyl, my cassettes are long gone, from Iron Maiden to Senjutstu, there is a TON of great music to listen to.
one reason and one reason only.....they react to the songs people recommend them to react too, so complaining just suggest something different :) maybe more will follow you in suggesting the song you suggest if they are agreeing with you just saying
As I've said before, Iron Maiden has taught me more about history and poetry than I've ever learned in school. I got into them around 1982 and have been a huge fan since.
@@wiseomg Lol. You definitely weren’t a better student than me. I was a straight A student in honors classes. Iron Maiden didn’t teach me anything. But I will say this. Bruce Dickerson is one smart MF’er. I saw him on Celebrity Jeopardy twice, and he wiped the floor with the other two contestants, twice. And this was before they started really dumbing it down because they realized they were embarrassing the celebrities.
Other great songs:The Evil That Men Do,Wasted Years,Afraid To Shoot Strangers,Fear Of The Dark,Flight Of Icarus,The Clansman(live in Rock In Río),The Clairvoyant,The Number Of The Beast,Aces High,2 Minutes To Midnight.🤘
best theatrical song from them is rime of the ancient mariner , writing from an old peom . awesome song you must react to lilly .up the irons maiden rocks period
In high school for the world history finals, the last part was to write an essay on any historical figure. It was 20% of your grade, you could get a total of 5 points for the essay. I memorized Alexander the Great and did the essay. The teacher was so impressed and gave me 10 points for the essay. Aced the test with 100.
Phantom of the Opera should be your next Maiden reaction. Fair warning. Depending on which video, you might get a singer you're probably not familiar with.
You really need to check out the studio version of Iron Maiden - Powerslave just for the guitar solos alone. One of my favourites. A story about an Egyptian Pharaoh coming to terms with his imminent death and the realisation that he is no God but a mortal man.
Another great song by Maiden. The video features fight scenes from the 1923 silent movie The Uncovered Wagon, a parody on the movie The Covered Wagon, also from 1923. There ya go doll. \m/\m/
According to Iron Maiden, the movie footage was from a Buster Keaton comedy movie from the silent movie era of the 1920's... the "pale-faces v. the Indians" battle was exaggerated for comic effect... it seemed to go well w/ the theme of 'Run to the Hills', which is about cowboys fighting the native American 'Indians'... Buster Keaton was huge star and movie maker back in the early 20th century. His comedies were hugely popular w/ the likes of stars of the day like Charlie Chaplin... Laurel & Hardy... and others from the 'silent movie' era where action sequences were essential without dialogue (cos sound was not available yet in movie theaters; musicians were hired to give movies a soundtrack w/ sheet music). Those movies are hilarious - Charlie Chaplin was one of my faves... he played the character of 'the Tramp' who walked in baggy pants, oversized shoes, a cane and a bowler hat, who would always make trouble. When movies came w/ sound in the 1930's, a lot of stars went out, because they didn't sound like their on-screen characters... Laurel & Hardy made the transition cos they sounded like they looked... but Buster Keaton did not. Charlie Chaplin's first movie w/ sound ('Modern times') was mostly silent, but had him sing a song in total gibberish 😂 He lampooned Adolf Hitler during World War II in the movie 'The great dictator' (w/ sound) portraying both a Jewish barber and a maniac dictator 'Adenoid Heinkel' (he resembled Adolf Hitler somewhat w/ his mustache).
Iron Maiden has been my favorite band since the mid 80. It's an interesting rabbit hole to go down because they're still making new music today and some of it's pretty damn good but very different from their earlier stuff. And since you're an Eminem fan, hopefully you checked out his Rock and roll Hall of Fame induction and speech. And speaking of that induction, there may be a Judas Priest song or two you may want to discover after going down the Metallica Megadeth and Iron Maiden rabbit holes.
It is funny watching young folks react to all the great bands from my youth! I have been listening to Iron Maiden since I was about 11 years old in 1981, and I have been listening ever since, 42 years later!
Read the song list off of their album "Live After Death." It's from early in their careers. All of their songs on it tell stories that have informational messages yet are less complicated than stuff from their later career. If you really want to learn something, do a live version of Rime of the Ancient Mariner. It is a 13 minute song that tells the story of Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem. The poem is covered in High School curriculum. (At least it used to be.) Read the lyrics beforehand, because they are hard to follow on a first listen. Up the Irons!
A good song but use my list if you want the best recommendations Songs to do next - Fear of the Dark - Live Rock in Rio, Phantom of the Opera Live, Rime of the Ancient Mariner Live Rock in Rio 2001
The footage used in the video is actually parodies of Indian attacks portrayed in film. Some of those were just ridiculous. None of that was real footage.
Tanisi nitisani ekosani nisim, the black and white footage is from some old comedy. I remember when I bought this album as a teenager and first heard this song I was surprised to hear my tribe mentioned, the Cree. It seems that it was the best choice for rhyming.
They refused Metallica's request to cover this song for the Garage Days EP, so at the end of the EP Metallica play the first few notes of the song all crappily. Maiden answered the jab at the end of their song, "Space Station No. 5" from their Fear of the Dark LP.
Iron Maiden is one of my favorite bands for sure. They're awesome at taking history and putting music to it,as you've already pointed out. They do the same with poetry as well . As far as what song you recommend us to ask you to dig into it really depends on if you want to go back to there earlier songs like Running Free with their original singer Paul or one after that album like Aces high. You really can't go wrong tbh. Keep up the great work
Lilly Jane, I’ve been a Maiden fan since about 1989 (my sophomore year of high school), and it’s been great watching your reactions. Also, the Megadeth and Metallica reactions as well (especially Holy Wars!). To expand your metal-verse even further, the next legendary band you need to check out is Judas Priest, and your first reaction needs to be Painkiller. You won’t regret it! 🤘🏻
I was in Tulsa to attend Iron Maiden. There was a person of Indian descent next to me when they played this. Didn't know how he would react to it initially.
The song is pro Indian and anti American. Why on earth would he be offended? Russians love the Trooper, and that is an Anti Russian song. I'd really like to know why an Indian would hate Run to the Hills.
Maiden literally taught history at a time when Mtelalheads were "dumb thugs". They went "Here's Alexander The Great in song. Also Egyptian Pharaohs. Fancy 'Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner'? In full?" And I, as a kid, went "Yes! Gimme more!" "Nuclear bombing of Japan? Vietnam War Vets PTSD? FENCING?" "Gimme!"
Saw this live with my kid. Live in New Mexico. Drive through the Rez a lot. Many friends and people Ive worked with. As a conservative guy, they got fucked and fucked hard. The casinos are BS. Help our native brothers and sisters. Stop the shit. Treat them right.
for other great songs (and history lessons): Aces High, Where Eagles Dare, Alexander the Great. I dont know for sure where that footage is from but my guess would be some silent movie stuff from early 1900s (like 1920) Charlie Chaplin kind of material.
The song documents the colonization of the Americas, first by Europeans and then by Americans, from the perspective of a Cree Indian and American cavalryman. The opening verse is from the perspective of the Cree, describing his troubles as the European Americans "came across the sea", bringing the Cree "pain and misery".[6][7] The song is written from both perspectives,[8] The second verse is from the perspective of a U.S. cavalry soldier, describing his involvement in the American Indian Wars, "chasing the redskins back to their holes". The third verse is not from the perspective of any single individual, and harshly condemns the effects of American expansionism on Native Americans, resulting in the "[Americans] raping the women and wasting the men", and "enslaving the young and destroying the old"
Note they di make songs like this. Lovebites was formed to bring back the Iron Maiden style of song writing. Check out Lovebites Swansong live with Chopin Intro.
Maiden putting a " tounge in cheek" expression of an American tragedy, the systematic destruction of native americans. The lyrics are some of Steve Harris best. Up the irons.🤘
Another song where the bass and drums sound like galloping horses, like you heard in The Trooper. Powerslave and The Duelist are two more i would suggest Clive Burr the drummer here, on the next album, and since it's been Nicko on drums
One thing to keep in mind with them using the corny (and well before the welfare of horses was a concern in cinema) movie footage was at that time it was probably public domain and cheap if not outright free to use. Up until Metallica's One metal videos really didn't have any heavy rotation on MTV, so an act like Iron Maiden really didn't gain any benefit from producing expensive music videos.
About the video , let's say Iron Maiden has the true METAL spirit : making fun of themselves ! They are British so they have a good sense of Humour. . You will find that for instance in the scenes of old movie in other videos too : for instance can I play with madness or the number of the beast....
This is band was also a big influence for metallica Please react to some live 1985 metallica or Iron Maiden powerslave But metallica in 83~89 live is insane I love early metallica first album is so thrash 🤘🤘
Never saw the clip and heard the song a million times. One of the most powerful songs ever. About the genocide of the plain indians. Don't really understand the clip which seems to make fun out of it. (That said plain indians were killing each others aeons before the Europeans came along. I guess humans will be humans)
Lots of it is old Hollywood footage where they actually didnt gaf about the animals. That's why now you see "no animals were harmed filming this movie" Wasn't always the case.
Note in the song he refers to the Cree. They were a tribe in what is now Canada. They were woodlands Indians not plains Indians. They were also allies of and had friendly relations with French settlers. When the French lost their war with England Canada became part of England. Much of the wars against the Indians had no actual good guy bad guy sides. Just people with different interests. Plains Indians were nomadic and didn't own land but traveled follow the bison heard. The Dutch had a rule that any land purchased had to have records. The Brits pretty much took what they wanted.
This song wasn't about a specific historical event. It was written characterizing the plight of western expansion and also the plight of the Native Americans against what western expansion was doing to the lands. The movie clips were from a parody film, something that you would see in a Charlie Chaplain type piece.
Think the silliness of the video is meant to juxtapose the seriousness of the sibject. I recomend 2 Minutes to Midnight that original video tells a story that still seems relevant in fact The Original 2 Minutes to Midnight Video might be more relevant now than ever. Blessings from Puerto Rico keep up the good work.
the lyrics are shocking at first but read them on a piece of paper rather than listening and you'll soon see that they do not glorify the british. quite the opposite. They show arrogance, cruelty, malice and xenophobia. War is shocking, and so is what the Europeans did to the people of north and south america and this song tells of those brutalities. This is an intelligent progressive thinking band. particularly for their time. Easy to see how it can be misunderstood though if one doesnt take the time to understand:) best band in the world
They always had catchy riffs such as I think a song of them probably nobody won't be able to do the phantom of the Opera they also have others but I'll list a little bit what I know and what I have on my own playlist number of the beast phantom of the Opera wrathchild there are others but I won't go off script
![Cody Johnson - I'm Gonna Love You (with Carrie Underwood) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yy9PuYMU29g/mqdefault.jpg)
The official video features fight scenes from the 1923 silent movie The Uncovered Wagon, a parody on the movie The Covered Wagon, also from 1923.
Thank you! The only person to bother answering her question! Cheers!
There's also an alternative official futuristic animated version of this video as well with Eddy as a cyborg rider.
I always wanted to know the story of those scenes. Thanks for giving us some insight.

Aces High, great song, great lyrics, one of my favourites by iron maiden.
.
Yes, because what RUclips needs is another Trooper reaction video. Jeez, you'd think they'd only made four songs.
You will love Alexander The Great, Aces High and Paschendale!
I go back and forth whether passchendale or Hallowed By Thy Name is my favorite from them. Not a bad predicament.
best theatrical song from them is rime of the ancient mariner , writing from an old peom . awesome song you must react to lilly .up the irons maiden rocks period
And also Dance Of Death live. ☺️

Anything off of their Somewhere in Time album is awesome. In my opinion, one of their best albums.
I agree
Fear of the dark/Wasted Years/Aces high/2 minutes to midnight/The number of the beast🤘🏼
🤘
Phantom of the Opera should be your next Maiden reaction. Fair warning. Depending on which video, you might get a singer you're probably not familiar with.

always wondered what that weird riff was all about thank you
This was my intro to Iron Maiden. I was 15. They sparked a curiosity that no teacher ever has

Yes!
Check out Wasted Years!
* important history lesson

What did you expect....dig out those discs from your parents loft.they were called LP.s back then....VINYL.... wow...
If you want more history lesson from metal, I totally recommend you Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Alestorm
You should check out Annihilator-W. T. Y. D.
It's an amazing thrash metal song(this band in general is amazing)
Especially first two albums
Wow. Thanks for the reminder...off to listen to them!
Revelations, 22 Acacia Avenue, Where Eagles Dare, Powerslave, 2 Minutes to Midnight,Sea of Madness
The official video features fight scenes from the 1923 silent movie The Uncovered Wagon, a parody on the movie, The Covered Wagon, also from 1923.
First time i heard them was at Ullevi in Sweden. My mother brought me as a family trip i suppose. Darn was it electric!!! Great band!!

Time to react to true European folk music, Myrkur, Eivør, Wardruna, Heilung, Faun etc
Maiden literally taught history at a time when Mtelalheads were "dumb thugs". They went "Here's Alexander The Great in song. Also Egyptian Pharaohs. Fancy 'Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner'? In full?"

My favorite band ever seen them twice don't know where the footage came from lol ,but I Love Maiden !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The Trooper" is based on the Crimean War of 1854 and the battlefield of Balacklava
Check out W.A.S.P Trail of Tears, and Testament Trail of Tears... 2 different songs, same title.
footage 1981 tour in hammersmith UK, black and white footage museum of archive film london
Saw this live with my kid. Live in New Mexico. Drive through the Rez a lot. Many friends and people Ive worked with. As a conservative guy, they got fucked and fucked hard. The casinos are BS. Help our native brothers and sisters. Stop the shit. Treat them right.
Anything but Rhime of the Ancient Mariner. I haven't got a spare 45-minutes in my day to watch yet ANOTHER reaction video. It's just waaaaay too long.
for other great songs (and history lessons):
Aces High, Where Eagles Dare, Alexander the Great.
I dont know for sure where that footage is from but my guess would be some silent movie stuff from early 1900s (like 1920) Charlie Chaplin kind of material.
Alexander the Great, Somewhere in Time, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner👍👍🙂

Up the irons.🤘
Back in the 50's and 60's there were a lot of Cowboy vs Indian movies. This is before Politically correct and all that stuff.
At fisrt a great song... Then the made a joke of native Americans... Just like a Brittish change the facts...??
This was a story of Europeans coming over and taking the land from Native Americans at any cost. Great channel. You❤️
Rhym of the Ancient Mariner
Seventh Son of the Seventh Son
666 The Number of the Beast
Aces High
Another song where the bass and drums sound like galloping horses, like you heard in The Trooper.
Powerslave and The Duelist are two more i would suggest
Clive Burr the drummer here, on the next album, and since it's been Nicko on drums
Hey Lilly, Do A Reaction On System Of A Down BYOB! They Are Crazy On The Official Video!!!
The Next One should be! ( The Evil That Men DO!! ) 🤘then go back to Metallica 🤘🤘🤘 lol
The bes Story and History teller band of all time, try Aces High video next time. And this clip is from a C. Chaplin's parody i think!
You should listen iron maiden aces high.. and you should tell your time to listen "life after death" concert 1985 long beach CA.
You should react Alexander the Great. It’ll blow your mind! 🤘🏼
Faded off after fear of the dark.. every album to that point, is a whole story.. Seventh Son is a great album.. try it.. :-))
The "weird guns" you speak of is called the puckle gun, might have misspelled it I've been drinking

Please react to some live 1985 metallica
or Iron Maiden powerslave
But metallica in 83~89 live is insane
I love early metallica first album is so thrash 🤘🤘
Battle of little big horn ... is your take from this song ....LOL. Definitely boring history.
Never saw the clip and heard the song a million times. One of the most powerful songs ever. About the genocide of the plain indians. Don't really understand the clip which seems to make fun out of it. (That said plain indians were killing each others aeons before the Europeans came along. I guess humans will be humans)

That's why now you see "no animals were harmed filming this movie"
Wasn't always the case.
Boring history? Hey Lilly don't ever say that to the American first nations people for god's sake bloody hell?
This was a song about the plight of the Native Americans; their persecution of the White Man
Note in the song he refers to the Cree.
They were a tribe in what is now Canada. They were woodlands Indians not plains Indians.
They were also allies of and had friendly relations with French settlers.
When the French lost their war with England Canada became part of England.
Much of the wars against the Indians had no actual good guy bad guy sides. Just people with different interests.
Plains Indians were nomadic and didn't own land but traveled follow the bison heard.
The Dutch had a rule that any land purchased had to have records.
The Brits pretty much took what they wanted.
This song wasn't about a specific historical event. It was written characterizing the plight of western expansion and also the plight of the Native Americans against what western expansion was doing to the lands. The movie clips were from a parody film, something that you would see in a Charlie Chaplain type piece.
For your future enjoyment, every track from peace of mind. Especially flight of icarus, and to tame a land
Take a dig at Powerslave, Wasted Years, The Evil That Men Do and The Ryme of the Ancient Mariner
You've been living under a rock, but you clearly didn't listen to it... Ba dum tiss! :D
They use footage from the silent movie The Covered Wagon released in 1923..
You can say Bruce Dickenson is the Grand father of Havy Metall
Iron Maiden - Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (Live After Death 1985)
Time for you to be introduced to Pantera. I recommend you start with the song “Walk”
Think the silliness of the video is meant to juxtapose the seriousness of the sibject. I recomend 2 Minutes to Midnight that original video tells a story that still seems relevant in fact The Original 2 Minutes to Midnight Video might be more relevant now than ever. Blessings from Puerto Rico keep up the good work.
