"The Trooper" is about the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. It was immortalized in Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade". The official video has clips of a movie made about the battle years before. The official video of "Aces High" features clips about the Battle of Britain including Winston Churchill's "We shall never surrender" speech at the beginning. I'm sure Sabaton was influenced by such Iron Maiden songs.

10:15 -- What else does he do? Well, besides the stuff you know (being one of the best Heavy Metal singers of all time _and_ a fully-licensed airplane pilot -- who actually flies commercial airliners for an actual airline on his off time from the band), Bruce is an Olympic-level fencer, a book author, a screenplay writer and a director. The man really *is* the Energizer Bunny.

That's true - however he said in a recent interview when asked if he would fly their own plane on the next tour. He replied that he was now too old to fly, so he would be sitting in the back and enjoying the ride. Not sure if he stills fly for a commercial airline based on that statement. As long as he is not too old to tour with Maiden I don't care! \m/
@phillee2814

@@monotonebooster3229 No, he hasn't flown for an airline for years - the airline he flew for at the time of this tour (from whom he leased the aircraft during their off-season) shut down and he now has his own aviation company based in Cardiff which does the training of aircrew and technicians for aircraft and maintenance of airliners - it was through his own company, wholly owned by him, that he was able to lease the 747 they used last, and gain the rating (and regain it after his cancer treatment) to Captain the flights. I believe he will be too old to fly on any future tours, as there is an age limit on holding an airline transport pilots licence (ATPL) or at least the medical testing requirement is too frequent to allow a reasonable tour. Having a medical of the standard required was bad enough (6-monthly) for the last time, and at 65 he goes into the next and final age bracket, with (I think) monthly full medicals required. And those are medicals that can only be conducted at the CAA Flight Crew Licencing Centre at Gatwick and include such joys as running to exhaustion on a treadmill wearing a full mask and 12-lead ECG (EKG to USians) to establish VO2Max and maximum heart-rate with a clean rhythm, blood tests eyesight, hearing and smell all tested, the full works. It takes all day. He is also fully qualified for aerobatic display in his own Spitfire and his own replica Fokker Triplane. Oh, and you missed brewer from his not inconsiderable list of talents. He is also responsible for all the composition and writing of Iron Maiden's longest song and plays the piano introduction to it. That is the result when someone like Bruce "accidentally" ends up winning a grand piano in a charity auction (as a non-player) and decides to use it to teach himself to play on - "Empire Of The Clouds" based on the R101 disaster, less known but deadlier than the Hindenburg - in fact easily the worst airship disaster in history. But the Hindenburg was caught on film, so is the one everybody knows about.

Sound coming in strong now from your mic, from both channels, all good. This is one of the most iconic Iron Maiden songs. It's hard to understand the lyrics with the sped up live version, but it is about a British soldier (the trooper) fighting (and dying) during a battle against... Russians! :-) In the 1850s Crimean War.

There r so many bands that ended their careers when their records and concert tickets stopped selling... Iron Maiden was not one of them - that is why we know they are the real deal 🤘🤘The persevered for years in the pubs of London & then the UK, when heavy metal was declared 'dead'... and they broke big in the 80's w/ very little commercial promotion. When vocalist Bruce Dickinson left the band in 1993, they opted to carry on w/ vocalist Blaze Bayley for 2 albums, despite selling a fraction of the earlier album sales and playing clubs in N. America until 1998. Their reunion in 1999 proved that heavy metal was still alive and vibrant... their records in the last 2 decades have charted consistently. Their concert tours have been near capacity or sold out worldwide. There are only a handful of heavy metal/ hard rock bands that can claim perseverance without a breakup - Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Scorpions, AC/DC, Saxon, Motorhead, Def Leppard, Black Sabbath (Ozzy & post-Ozzy line-ups), Kiss, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Dio, Aerosmith, Foo Fighters, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Dream Theater, Rush, Tool, Annihilator, Arch Enemy, Morbid Angel, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, Nile, Overkill, Red Hot Chili Peppers...

Anastasia. Not sure that you will get this, but here’s to hoping. What you need to know about Iron Maiden is that they have received next to no radio airplay. They have built a global cult following by being one of the hardest working bands of all time. Their shows are start to finish “All In” energy. I truly hope, now that COVID is slowing, that you have an opportunity to see them live and in person. Being a fan of Rock and Metal, you owe it to yourself. And thank you for sharing you voice and music with us. Keep up the amazing work.

How about "Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter" from the Raising Hell 1994 live show. That performance is a spectacle to behold.

A great example is Run to The Hills, where they openly do a Indians and 'new world" perspective. Not to wonder why its such a great song and why the band is timeless. No matter when you hear them, the problems are always the same. Not to mention the lyrics and storytelling part. Big fan btw XD
