My father was one of those brave men who landed on the Normandy beaches and was one of the lucky ones who survived. He was always very reluctant to talk about his experiences, but after sitting through the first 10 min or so of Saving Private Ryan, he had to leave the room. Later he said was too realistic and the memories it brought back were just too much, so he couldn't continue watching.
Anyway what a great song from Iron Maiden. An excellent tribute to all those who fought for our freedom during the Normandy invasion. I will always remember them with the greatest of pride and gratitude.
bob steele my papaw broke down one night and talked about a little girl that died in his arms. He was in North Africa and Italy.
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan - Thanks for sharing Chris. Yes all those brave men had some terrible and heartbreaking experiences. They will always be remembered.
And here in Europe, people are more and more forgetting their own histories. Forgetting the sacrifices of those great men to ensure freedom for the peoples of Europe. I somewhat fear that history indeed is doomed to repeat itself, seeing how populist far-right parties and their entourages are on the rise yet again.
Truly was the age of heroes. As much as I wouldn't want another world war, I would be ready to go to make sure the sacrifices in ww1 and ww2 would not be in vain
@@_vinterthorn they will rise even quicker if you keep supporting leftists
Much thanks to my fellow Canadians that died on Juno beach that day.
Indeed the second costliest beach in terms of allied deaths, about 1000 casualties including over 300 KIA's. The Canadians infantry units in the first wave were virtually wiped out but follow up units were able to push inland further than any other allied army. It certainly is a miracle that the invasion was a success.
@@mafmaf6417 it sure was! From what I've heard, they landed on five beaches because they felt they needed that many to assure success on one or two. They expected the majority of the landings to fail!
I am a German man (50 yrs). I just saw the opening scene of "Saving Private Ryan", and I realized again that I can live a life in freedom only because the allied soldiers of WW2 gave their precious lives. I actually know no words to express my gratitude, but THANK YOU. I am absolutely ashamed of the developments that lead to the Third Reich and of the politics and culture of the Nazis. I know that neither I nor my generation are responsible for that, but me and my generation have a solemn responsibility that those developments never happen again. My whole generation is responsible to create a peaceful future, and especially we Germans, for our grandparents started the evil Nazi era. We have to tell those stories over and over again. They shall never be forgotten, so that they hopefully never occur again.
Gold words! Thank you!
I can't believe how long it's been 75 years. Less and less of those who were there are here today. My uncle was there and he passed 2 years ago in his 90's.
I personally know a veteran from the _Blue Ridge Division_ that was stationed for R&R at my grandmother's house when they were on their way to the Ardennes. She's 85 now and he's early-to-mid 90s but they still write each other letters after all these years.
Iron Maiden the best band in the World, nothing more to say
Agree agree agree!!!
Kel you have a beautiful heart & it breaks my heart that those men both allied & axis went through that horror & torture for it all to be thrown away by our governments today especially here in Europe..
Those men made the ultimate sacrifice & we have dishonoured them & I am ashamed of us all for allowing it.
@Knasterreal1 The E.U. needs to be abolished it's the only way we can stop the surrender of Europe by spineless politicians & politically correct panderers.
I truly wish to say THANK YOU for honoring the men that fought that day and using Iron Maidens Longest Day as your tribute to that most important day in history.
Bruce’s opening lyrics paint such a vivid picture
The 2nd Longest day is day without Maiden.
Escalera al Cielo NICE! Up the Irons!
Escalera al Cielo oh please!!! They suck!!! Power cords and screaming!! Don't get it never will!! Just like rap.
@@williamcabell142Iron Maiden don't lose anything if you don't like them so STFU LMAOOOOOOOO
THANK YOU to anyone alive or passed on that sacrificed unimaginably to keep us free . Including all the families as well.
We are VERY lucky to have the rights and freedoms in the western world. Thanks to the suffering of so many.
Much love.
Love from Serbia 4 U2! God bless U! Up the Irons!
Ап д ајронс! ;-)
@@marciusnhasty Ап дИ Ајронс бро! 😜
The impact of this and the Great song The Longest Day can be overwhelming . The opening scene to Saving Private Ryan with this song is a punch in the gut!
Greetings from the UK. Both our countries lost brave troops on that day, my most heartfelt thanks to your country's brave men who fought that day alongside ours. x
There were Polish soldiers fighting there and nobody wants to remember that ,cause only american and english soldiers are counting. Fuck the rest ,yeah ?
All three of our countries you mean. UK, USA, and Canada. And yes, soldiers from other allied nations were involved too and deserve just as much credit, but those three nations took the lead in the first five allied victories in Europe on those five beaches.
Hell of a day. War is war, but sometimes evil has to be crushed. My dad flew in WWII. Thank God we had men and women of true grit and mettle. Let's give thanks for their incomprehensible valor and sacrifice, so we could live our lives in such relative peace and comfort.
Thank-you. Thank-you.
Kel, I always like to look at your expressions when you do reactions. The look on your face while watching the war footage says it all. You have a very good heart. Very brutal scenes in the first 20 minutes of "SPR".
MY grandfather, now since passed, landed on the beaches that day. He was lucky and survived. I would not be here today had he not been one of the lucky ones. God bless Grandad x
From my favorite IM album. Blessings to all vets and their families.
William Bevins interesting choice. Great album indeed
William Bevins thank you. OIF 3 and 09-10. Been shot at and my truck hit IED in 09. PTSD sucks.
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
I'm glad to see your honest and genuine feelings about the song/video. This song, amongst others, is a great tribute to those that gave their everything for our freedom especially in a time that is was needest the most. Here in the Netherlands we still honor those that gave their life for our freedom and we'll continue doing that cause that was a time we must never forget. We can never imagine what horror they went through and what price they paid
HELL YEA Thanks for the Shout out!!! Thanks for doing this reaction and all the other Maiden reactions.
More FU$&ING SLAYERRRRR!!!!!!! Funny Obituary reaction and I'm happy you liked them one of my favorite bands !! . It's cool watching you two react and truly having love for this music, all Metal music. UP THE IRONS!
Thanks for doing this video !!
a big part of the album A Matter Of Life And Death is about war, about that you guys should check out Brighter Than A Thousand Suns, These Colours Don't Run and The Legacy
Ignacio also Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg (my fav), lord of Light, pilgrim, for the greater good of God, out of the shadows
The Legacy is a fucking masterpiece.
I always thank (other) vets that served no matter when. I know a few of the WW2 guys. One I knew that passed two years ago landed on Normandy. He fought all the way ON FOOT to Berlin and was among those closing in on hitler when he killed himself. Some don’t want to tell their story’s of the war, a few will, he shared his with me. Another still living fought the Japanese and tears up trying to share his stories. God bless our troops!
Bruce’s vocals on this song are so powerful.
Incredible.
What a great way to honour the brave young men who gave their future for our freedom :)
and the americans have nothing better to do, than to vote the next blond german with blue eyes as president with the hand on the red button... and one thing is for sure: america was, is and will be very racist state and they didnt fight for europe, for the jewish or what ever else... they only had the fear, that the US are the next on adolfs list... all other is only a good PR from the US army... like santa claus it was from coca cola..
Doing this before seeing y'all's reaction. Freaking awesome of you two to do it on D-Day. Up the irons and, as always, take care.
I worked in a VA hospital years ago and I loved sitting and hearing the stories from the guys who were actually there. Europe, the Pacific, POW's. Who survived and returned. One who was in a camp and saw the flash on horizon that was Hiroshima. DDay, iwo Jima, Auschwitz. Some of the wives were English and a couple were German. They would tell you about homefront and things about the era.
My grandpa was stationed in Rotterdam when the Germans bombed the whole city to ashes May 1940. He was hit by multiple fragments of a bomb but luckily survived. He never really talked about his experience, I only heard some small details from my mom and grandma. Must have been too hard for him to talk about it. Thanks to all the brave soldiers we can enjoy our freedom, god bless.
They were the greatest generation hands down. Saved our way of life. One grandfather served in the Italian campaign of mine and was captured and was POW for 20 months. Other Grandfather was in the Navy and served in the Pacific
but now you have the next blond german with blue eyes on the top with the hand on the red button... adolf would be proud of it...
Kel and Rich, you need to watch Band of Brothers. It's a HBO mini series done about 15 years ago. Truly amazing what these guys did for us.
Seconded....Especially the episode 'Why we fight'
I love that series so much, my wife got me the DVD collection. Truly amazing what those men did.
Thank you for that reaction. It was truly moving. Iron Maiden always employs history or writes about something meaningful which is why I love them so much!! As a veteran I applaud you watching and listening to something that may have been way outside of your comfort zone in order to give tribute to those who had and have to go through such things. Even though I did not have to go through it during my service I know many who did including my Grandfather in WW2 and my Father in Korea. It means a lot! Thank you!
Love the maiden Trip. Love you guys
What a song and video. You two have found what Iron Maiden is all about, teaching the masses about history.
You two are awesome and I really enjoy your heart filled reactions. Your morality and integrity are shown on a consistent level for those songs that bring out real emotions. I love you both for what you are doing.
Thank you guys for your reaction to this song, this is actually one of my favorite Maiden songs, even though I have so many favorite Maiden songs. When I first heard this song, I was taken back at the picture that they painted in the lyrics, and music.
You guys are great. UP THE IRONS!!!
Thank you so much for this video. My maternal grandfather survived that day and that beach. It means a lot to me
Great selection guys! God bless all who serves and who served!
I regularly listen to this song on my own with my eyes closed to try and put myself there on the beach and try to imagine what these poor souls went through, I nearly always end up with tears in my eyes. Just trying to contemplate the horror and helplessness these men went through just completely frys my brain as I just dont have anything whatsoever to compare it to, and thanks to them I never will.
Rest In Peace
Never Forget
I FUCKEN LOVEE how you guys did this song!!!! I am a DIE-hard MAIDEN fan. I love all maiden songs. But the fact that you guys chose a song, thats not one of the popular songs by Maiden! Means alot dude! Maiden has SOOO MANY underrated songs that are fucken good and this is one of them... Thanks guys💪
Maiden is life!next Dream of Mirrors live in Rock'n Rio 2002 pls.
OMG yes, peeps always ask for _Sign of the cross_ but that _Dream of Mirrors_ performance is a forgotten gem and an awesome song.
Saving Private Ryan is probably THE most visceral movie anyone can ever experience. And Maiden knows how to convey that message; between this and Paschendale they just take it to a whole 'nother level. those who serve do what they do so we don't have to. And for that THANK YOU!!! \m/\m/
Awesome video, R.I.P. and Godspeed to all my Brothers and Sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, you are not forgotten. Semper Fi
That movie changed me, I came out of the cinema feeling like the most fortunate person in the world, knowing that I would never have to face anything like that
love it!
Maiden perfection.
Love this what a great song this is not heard it for sometime,but man can Bruce tell a great story Love & respect to the solders who fought this horrible war,great reaction as always luv you guys
I´ve been a Maiden-fan for 30 yrs & I´ve never heard this song before..& I like your hat-collection :-)
Very touching tribute to the men that paid the ultimate sacrifice. I got tears just watching this. We’ll never truly understand what these young men put on the line for our freedoms back at home. Some of these men who died on the beach were only 18 years old. Had their whole lives ahead of them. Mad respect for past, present and future men and women who serve!
This song makes me cry, I had family who served & fought & died in ww2.. my late father was there ..1st inf. 16th...never said much, but his nightmares said it for him..
My grandpa was there in his Mustang. Fortunately in the air as a fighter pilot assigned to protect the gliders. He was an Ace that survived.
Blood and sand, WE WILL PREVAIL!
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
I saw Saving Private Ryan for the first time while I was in basic training in 2000. No better way to really drive home the reality of being a soldier than this epic film. It isn't easy to watch, even after almost 20 years, but it is an important thing to remember because too many people don't really understand the reality of war. If we don't know the horror of war, we will be more likely to enter another one that could potentially be avoided. Great video!
My great grandfather fought there, a canadian hero as far as i'm concerned. He fought in the first world war when he was a kid at 15 years old, he was in his thirties when he fought in the second world war, he died before I was born but not in battle he survived. It's sad I would like to have met him despite his heavy heavy ptsd.
Can you do every Iron Maiden song in order?
Ok...now you are just being cheeky.
Ok in random order. And you can call me your Cheeky Monkey. Fair trade. I think we Ironed that out.
Some dianno fans
I am all for this being just a Maiden reaction channel. I bet you would get a trillion subbs
Amor odio Amor agreed
I pray to God for the war never, never comes again in that madly way... in any way. Life is too precious to waste in a nonsense like that.
Kel, your face resume it all 😔😔
Greetings from Medellín-Colombia.
Up the Irons my favorite band.
Kel, the same here - I never found a courage to see Saving Private Ryan and I am afraid that I never will. The fact that it is based on real events... that just squeezes my throat.
Thank you for the reaction to this song. One of my IM favorites. And I will add another :-) #IronMaiden Isle of Avalon :-) It has a nice build-up, great melodies, great feeling :-) This is one of the songs I go to when I want to introduce Maiden to someone :-)
If you want, a companion vid would be ONE by metalica featuring the "Johnny goes to war" footage. It's painful to watch, but that's the point of it.
War sucks.
From a movie with Jason Robards and Timothy Bottoms. Should be required viewing for every one.
What a Tribute, Great Reaction
Humans are capable of such beautiful dreams, and such unspeakable evil. Quite the paradox. It just boggles the mind how it is a giant wheel that keeps turning over and over throughout history.
love you. MAIDEN is the best band ever!
Música linda d+ pura realidade muitas vidas foram perdidas, este dia ficará na história pra sempre ...
I was in the Army but not ever in any combat.I only served during the cold war.I appreciate all that fought and died in actual combat. Bless them all!
Saving private Ryan scene in the movie is one of the greatest war scenes in any movie ever..
The real day was even worse.. Bless their souls.
You must do Iron Maiden POWERSLAVE. The title song from the album of the same name.
The live version from their Flight 666 DVD though!
@@scope81 Nah that one sucks tbh, the only "good" live version of maiden is The Talisman in en vivo. Anything else has sound/mixing issues
@@theHalta You must have seen a shitty rip of it, Flight 666 has great mixing.
Both my Granpa Conway and my dads oldest brother fought in the European Theater in WWII. I can’t imagine the hell they went through. Our family on both sides have been in the military and fought in every war since WWI and still continue to serve. God Bless Our Servicemen and Women
Seeing how in WWI the Germans were sinking our ships and Pres Wilson tried to stay neutral but they kept it up and continued the trend In WWII along with the Japanese bombing Pear Harbor. Besides that yea is see your point in Korea and Vietnam
Soul Train Bro has his saying Let's Get It. We need one for you such as Just Got It.
Nice! Love STB. Just Got It. That sounds cool. What's it mean to you@AE? Please email me if you prefer. Here's good too. I'll respond with Kel. Rich
kelnrichG@gmail.com
it means you to just got busy
Amor odio Amor - funny guy are you
Thanks again for covering this song and the subject of PTSD. In case you didn't know Bruce Dickenson is a PHD in music and a BS in history. The whole band is amazing individually. As you know I'm a veteran and when someone thanks me for my service, I say. Don't thank me. Im just a poor shlub that got hurt and sent home. If you really want to thank someone, Thank my brothers and sisters who will never come home. They paid the real price.
That's funny, I actually did my own cut of the film to that song 2 years ago today in honor of the battle at D-Day. Thought it was mine for a sec lol. It was the third on that list.
Fantastic comments Kel. I appreciate your heart. Uncomfortable is right, and the world is full of horrors. I also never forget that the country we are so proud of, so quick to say is the center of defending freedom, is built upon a land that 90% of the inhabitants lost their lives in genocide so that it can exist as it is today. I always start there when I look at the dirt under my feet.
Heavy bro
Awsome
Hey Kel n Rich, great song, great album but let me switch gears for just a moment! RUSH - THE GARDEN final track off last RUSH album forever. It is a masterpiece! Perfect ending to an amazing career and brings tears to my eyes every damn time I hear it!
Sweet, Have you seen the cover those wickedly talented kids of the O'keefe Music Foundation have done?! All I can say is 'WOW'!!
Hi guys,this was my 1st time hearing this Maiden track and as usuall it was epic maiden.watching the vid of PR with your reaction was really emotional for me too.
Bruce's vocals touch us deeply inside,and the music surrounds his vocals with masterly control.
Stevs H is a great songsmith he touches me with his talent.
Seeing as we are on the theme of past wars my request this time is from Magnum.
#magnum #soilderoftheline #england
This track has some great timing changes and has a catchy chorus i hope you have a listen to it even in private if you cant do a reaction vid at the moment.
All the best.🎧🎧🎧
America saved the world on that day leading it to ultimate victory over evil. The souls are in a special place. My son served in Iraq & the aftermath of his experience is traumatic still 10 years later. Christopher Santos currently of Austin TX we love you for dedicating your life to the country following 9/11 .... still runs deep.
The allieds were not only American but consisted of Americans, Canadians, British and free French airborne troops. I think the Russians had something to do with the German defeat as well :-)
Like I said we were leading no shirking the rest.
Without a doubt the greatest generation. Makes one wonder if todays 18, 19, 20 yr old would stand tall like these heroes did
That entire album is fantastic.
Never Forget Ever
Nice guys 🤘👍👌
people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
You mentioned a couple times, "what happens after". A great song and video for that is Sabaton - To Hell and Back.
Great iron maiden song and great movie Saving Privite Ryan.
Kel - you have an awesome heart! If you guys decide to watch the movie, skip the beach landing scene at the beginning. That's the most graphic but truest depiction I've seen of what that must have been like. There are other graphic scenes throughout the movie, but nothing compared to that. Thanks for sharing that with us! BIG shout out to my brothers and sisters that served - past, present and future!
Hail, Hail. You are good people
It may be hard to watch a movie like Private Ryan Kel but you should,everyone should see what these men went through for us.Maybe todays youth would have more respect for our flags.Enjoyed the video guys thanks from Canada.
Very well said at the end there kel. Then you won't want to see earthlings or dominion then haha. Not easy to watch but needed. About animal use by us humans.
Superb song. A Lyrical masterpiece.
You should do the okeefe school of music version of the longest day .. they did a great job with it too
Such brave men
My uncle was in the D Day landings and was wounded in Normandy unfortunately he died near the river Rhine in Germany just before the war ended plus im a life long maiden fan
My father landed on Gold beach, to the left of Omaha. 6:30am June 6th 1944, first wave. He was the 3rd man off the LSI, but the first to get to the beach. Man 1 was shot, man 2 had a radio with a set of spare batteries - he stepped off the ramp straight into the water and didn't come up. The defenders were German and mostly OK (just regulars) but the SS were full of Nazi arrogance. My dad took one SS back on a jeep for interrogation. The guy acted as if he was in a B movie; he lolled in the back of the GP, all relaxed, with a smoke. Which he blew in my father's face and told him (in perfect English) 'You know, you're... going to loose this war.' With a lazy smile. My father's reaction: he chambered a round in his sten and held it pointed at the guy.
8 months without a bath, or sleeping in a bed. "Jerry on 2 sides!" On 3 sides! On 4 sides! 101 small incidents, bodies, the horses and cows in the fields dead, or lowing in discomfort as they had not been milked. The lines of thousands of unhomed people struggling ... somewhere, anywhere else. Sitting with a distraught 18 yo kid who had to drive a munitions truck along a road taking mortars; he was terrified by thoughts of the bright light from behind. Things out of place (like when house clearing: kicking a kitchen door in to find an old Italian woman (in Germany?) in black facing him, sitting in front of a table with a heap of odd paper money on it. In the same room, a big walk-in wooden wardrobe. The woman looked at him. He sensed - there was someone in the wardrobe! Swung gun to it, then realised. The woman was negotiating with him (with some foreign solder, with whom she could not speak) with all the money she could find. To buy the life inside the wardrobe.... my father just backed out, leaving it all; who was in the wardrobe he never knew).
Looking over a town from a hill, seeing that no one structure was left standing; clubbed to rubble by bombs and shells. The next city - just the same. The way the ground bounced when there was a big shoot (my father was a signalman, working phones for an artillery unit) and threw up the dust from the ground. Becoming able to sleep with all those big guns firing. Arresting a German soldier taking a dump with his pants down, my father armed with only a pair of pliers (he was doing lines maintenance). My father came up behind the fellow as he squatted and touched the skin at the base of the guy's back with the tip of the pliers. A good laxative, apparently.
You could smell the extermination camps 5 miles away.
So, in the 1990's, I went to see Saving Private Ryan. It was very personal, intense and loud on the big screen; I gripped the seat in shock at the landing thinking "my dad did this... my dad did this...". I told him about it when I got home. He was old and like to rest across the sofa. He listened to the story. I ended, saying "You should have gone to see the film!"
He lay there, fingers steepled, eyes closed. "I don't have to".
In the later years he started an association of old soldier doing school visits. The message: Don't believe the films. There is no glory in war
The day we forget the heroes like this is the day evil wins. I want to go see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier so bad.
My parents did not partake in the war because they where to young, but they were alive during it.
And even though they were not directly in it they still remember having to close blinds at night not to give out to much light that could be used by bombers and use special army flashlights that gave just a small targeted amount of light.
And hearing Hitler on the radio, a reason why my mother has a hard time with the German language to this day.
...touché en plein cœur…!
I hope people remember 23-26 October 1944. The largest naval battle in history including the land battle 17 October - 26 December 1944. Leyte. As important to the Pacific people as D-Day was for Europe. My father was there. "Pacific" - what an ironic name.
Amazing song from Maiden ... spells out the folly of man once again.
Great song to honor our greatest generation of warriors who helped us in the West keep our freedom....
Also about D-day: Sabaton - Primo Victoria
Glory to the brave - Hammerfall
It's a great song that I always dedicated to the Fallen Soldiers who died for what they believed in
Iron Maiden - Revelations.
Cheers! From Brazil. Great react. Now, with the background, you can listen the entire album. :D
If you don't, just The Legacy or For the greater good of God is enough, for close with a golden key. Thx!
Lord of Light and These Colours Don't Run and Brighter than a Thousand Suns are also great :-)
Had those men not made the ultimate sacrifice this world would look a lot different. 80+% of the men in the first two waves died. Too many people have a sanitized view of what combat is really like.
My biggest concern is that 75% of the eligible young men today don’t meet the minimum requirements. Weight, education, etc.
That breaks my heart even more. *sigh*, the situation is bad enough as is. The fat and unfit don’t stand a chance....
