My great grandfather was killed at paschendale during the 3rd battle of ypres in 1917. I needed to visit the place and went last November on the 100th anniversary of the end of the war, it was such a moving experience, his body was never identified, so he could be buried in an un-marked grave in any number of cemeteries in the area or still lying on the battlefield, but at the largest cemetery at Tynecot I found his name on a wall commemorating all the missing. Despite all the horror it is a beautiful and peaceful place now and I paid my respects to him, his comrades and to everyone from all sides. I think the world would be a better place if we could all visit these places. Thank you for your reaction, I would love to hear your views on Revalations or When the Wild Wind Blows, both by maiden. Cheers.
God bless him,, my grandfather who was there made it. Much love
My great grandfather fought there and survived it. Wonder if they might have known each other.
My grandfather fought there and survived. His brother also fought there but didn’t come home.
A little context. Paschendale is the name commonly given to the 3rd Battle of Ypres (Ypres, in Belgium Flanders saw furious fighting throughout the 1914-18 war including three full battles). The Battle of Paschendale lasted for about 4 months from July-November 1917 and was named for the fighting towards its end for the village of Paschendale (by that time so devastated it effectively did not exist except on a map). The fighting is infamous for the horrifying conditions of mud and rain as the region experienced a unusually wet season in an area already water logged and destroyed by multiple years of static fighting. Ypres and Flanders have become sacred ground for the sacrifices made there by Commonwealth soldiers (UK, Canada, Australia, Sth Africa, India, NZ - mainly) alongside troops from France and Belgium. Ypres has two great Commonwealth memorials to unknown soldiers, men who died in the Flanders area over the 4 year conflict but whose bodies were never found. The Menin Gate in Ypres itself commemorates nearly 55,000 men with no known grave and the Tyne Cote cemetery wall to the missing includes another 35,000 dead without identified graves, so the Flanders area saw roughly 90,000 Commonwealth soldiers simply vanish, lost into the cauldron of the fighting. This was a different kind of conflict to anything we'd recognize today, its horrifying nature should be remembered as a lesson to us all of the horror, futility and waste of war. Its also worth mentioning that the Belgians spell it Passchendaele.
Passendale in modern spelling. Passchendaele is archaic. Pronounced PASS-un-dah-luh (final e isn't silent in Dutch/Flemish). :)
@@michaellejeune7715 I stand corrected, obviously the limit of my knowledge is historical and I'm not up to date with modern Belgian changes. Thank you.
Thank you for the history lesson! I needed a reminder it's been a long time since reading and watching documentaries and this very battle.
I agree with everything you have written except for one thing. They weren't Commonwealth Soldiers. At that time, they were Soldiers of the British Empire. The Commonwealth wasn't founded until 1931.
@@brianferris8668 Fair observation, and I'll remember that.
I saw them do this live in Newcastle, at the start of the song there was no sign of Bruce Dickinson, then when it really kicked in he stood up from leaning over a barbed wire fence. He'd been leaning over it singing, it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Listen to the guitar solos in this song. They just screams out PANIC! How the band can translate those feelings into the guitarplay is just amazing... Iron Maiden are one of a kind.
Absolutely. Every song has a visual palette... even the instrumentals. Brilliant.
A masterpiece..... no doubt about it. Iron Maiden have Great War/Anti-war songs. Please check The Longest Day (about the D Day - highly recommended), For the Greater good of God, Aces High, Fortunes of War, Two Minutes to Midnight, The Legacy, Tailgunner, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, etc. Iron Maiden is perfect to bring emotions when they perform a song. Those feelings could be great, sour, bitter, sweet, get the point.... that what's the song about.... to bring the audience a good experience when listening any song... That's why Iron Maiden is so cool and different to other bands....
Afraid to Shoot Strangers gives me goosebumps, it's not an epic one but i just love that song!
@@icaroprado2720 I agree
Register on Website and vote for The Greater Good of God or the Maiden song you want! I did this, Is the only way, haha
@@icaroprado2720 you're wrong in one thing, it is a damn Epic song !!!
First song that was co-written by Nicko McBrain
Some info on the song: the drums were produced to sound like cannons and artillery, and the cymbals at the start and part way through were supposed to resemble morse code. They put a lot of effort into this song and it pays off. The live version is brilliant on death on the road.
TO ALL THAT SERVED & GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE..ON ALL SIDE'S FOR OUR FREEDOM WHEREVER ON THIS EARTH...THE UPMOST RESPECT....🍁🍁🍁🍁🕇🕇🕇🕇🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Iron maiden - Caught somewhere in time
Stranger in a Strange Land
An amazing documentary was release last year to commemorate the centenary of the end of the war called 'They Shall Not Grow Old'. It was narrated with the voices of veterans of the first world war and uses remastered and colorized footage from the war itself. I strongly suggest anyone who's interested in learning about the experiences of the soldiers to watch it.
I live in South Wales UK I have seen it when the moment happens when it transforms from black and White into colour took my breath away
@@fattwat1 I watched it on I player when it came out also. It's such a unique visual experience to be able to see those sights as they would have been by the soldiers themselves. I had to buy it on DVD when it released.

I love how the two of you actually listen to the song before you react. A lot of the reaction videos should be called overreaction videos.
I can tell In the middle of the song your reaction will be deep.
Looking forward to it. Peace be with you
My favorite line is "Cruelty has a human heart"
Adrian said that he came up with the intro to Paschendale just by doodling around with his guitar and realized it sounded very melancholic and mysterious.
Almost. He was warming up and played the intro while Nico was listening. He than wanted that adrian replays it but he didnt know what nico was meaning. Nico than grabbed the guitar and everyone was suprised that he could play it an repeat the sound correctly. That was in the interviews on the death on road dvd package. Sry for my bad english btw ^^
IMO, this is Iron Maiden's most epic song.
Soon as I saw paschendale by iron maiden I clicked it, one of my all time favourites.... Thank you...
Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams
Believe they already did a live performance of this one not too long ago. Check it out! Great suggestion though, one of my absolute favorites, if not THE best. Cheers dude! 🤘😎🤘
They did a live reaction to SSOSS song. Cheers 🍻
This is my favorite Maiden song!!

+Jhonathan Souza Nice man, good to know
Swear I heard the angels cry,Pray to god no more may die.....Just this
It's crazy that you guys have done so many Maiden songs, and havent done more off the Piece of Mind album. Tracks like "Where Eagles Dare," "Revelations," "Flight of Icarus," and "Die With Your Boots On." All amazing Iron Maiden songs. 🤘
johnny g That is my favorite Maiden album!
My second favorite Maiden album, after the debut. Most of these songs sound even better on Live After Death.
Agreed! Quest for Fire and Still Life are both gold as well!
Iron Maiden "Dance of Death" EN VIVO!
Iron Maiden knew once again how to get and capture the feel of this theme and turn this into a masterpiece for their extended musical legacy. From the very beginning to the end of the song we can picture in our minds the scenes of the war in Paschendaale through each verse and instrumental parts of this song. Perfect! The chorus is killer and takes you right back in time and puts you in the frontline feeling all the emotions and the loneliness that a war battle can bring to a soldier. The closure gives you the idea of a death moment..as if the soul of the soldier was fading away.
Long live Iron Maiden!
Hey, Vini and Sori, Very good choice of song to comment.
God bless you all.
This is first class. Maiden show the world how to do it.
Blind Guardian - Valhalla live, imaginations version
EPIC !
Absolutely, Blind Guardian is one of the best bands to hear live.
spoiler: Blind Guardian is coming... in a month or two :P
@@Brombit should do it while it's winter BG is one of the best bands to listen during this season , may i ask which song will it be :)
@@internalfire11 Don't you want to keep the mystery? ;)
It's Mirror Mirror
Amazing song made all the more emotional for me as my Great Grandfather fought at Paschendale. Thankfully by some miracle he survived, I guess I wouldn't be here if he didn't.
Love your channel, keep up the good work!
Every Iron Maiden song has a story...they and other heavy metal bands are miles apart....THE BEST !!!!
One of Maiden's best choruses of the modern maiden era. Always been one of my favorites from them. Great pick. Great instrumental section in this as . Whats interesting about this one is that it doesn't have that traditional maiden gallop like some of their other songs. At least not the whole way through. That bridge section in the middle of the two solos is some incredible writing this is a 9.8/10 for me.
Funny you should mention Woods of Ypres Vin.....
The battle of paschendale was unique because of the terrain, most of the casualties were either killed by the mud or there bodies were lost in it, it was like quick sand, if they stepped off the wooden planks laid down they were almost sure to drown, so many soldiers were never found. It was a horrific battle for both sides
Paschendale, a later Maiden classic. good choice.
Please do Iron Maiden - The legacy, it's a fantastic epic song!
YES
NO
Register on their Website and vote for the Maiden song you want! I did this, Is the only way, haha
Bruce is a big history buff and even flies a real WW1 Fokker Triplane in real life which he owns. This song is powerful and intelligent songwriting from the masters of metal. Check out his Biography -What does this button do? For Bruce's full story and motivation, he's quite the character and all around great guy. The whole group are all legendary people.
Agreed. Surprisingly, however, Paschendale ISN'T written by Bruce. It's Adrian and Steve's baby.
"What does this button do" is a fantastic read.
@@raycelinwynter8582 It's his book if that's what you mean.A great insight into the band from his perspective.
Powerful song. Great reaction guys. Keep up the good work.
When I was in RAF cadets one of our officers told us a story about his grandad who fought in WW1. He was drowning in mud in No Man's Land and felt himself being pushed up from beneath. Some guy was drowning below him and saved his life by pushing his feet up so he could drag himself out. Just Wow!
You really should do Iron Maiden - Revelations! The first Maiden song written by B. Dickinson
With Lord Chesterton's Hymn.
Off of Live After Death!
The light of the Blind, you'll see, the venom teaares my spiiiiine
Thnks vin. I get why you don't like songs of war. But we do appreciate you guys doing one of their best songs. It's important to remember no matter how unpleasant. Although this is a great tribute and amazing song. My dad had to flee Latvia during world War 2 from Germany and Russia from both sides. He was early teens and ran on his own to Poland and ended up in the black forrest . He wrote a memoir but never really talked about it and almost died many times. Sorry to be heavy but I'm so glad you finally did this one.
Cheers from the mainstage
Their best song? Are you high....
@@vikusen1857 I mean One of their best in my opinion. There are better ones. Rime of the ancient mariner and trooper are my favorites.

Awesome song! Thank you!
Thanks! Such a good song. Iron Maiden is one of my all time favorite bands.
The people voting > Vin avoidance
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!
Brilliant song. Great discussion! This is nowhere near my favourite Maiden song but I really wanted to hear Vin talk about this topic. Thanks for doing this song!
This song is breath-taking in its beauty. I was lucky enough to see them on the Dance of Death tour and this song along with the stage show they put on was just incredible.
Fantastic song from 2000's Iron Maiden!!
Moonspell - Night Eternal
Um português aqui? Up the irons!
É verdade... Up The Irons!!!
No more lies
Iron maiden
Wicked man
Great discussion!!
Maiden is so awesome! Amazing lyrics and what a catchy groove!!
Nice! This is such an amazing song!
This is the very first Heavy Metal song I've ever heard. Our teacher showed it to us in an history class 8 years ago. I got hooked ever since. The lyrics on this one are brilliant, true poetry
Finally! Best track from Dance of Death! HELLOWEEN ☆ KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS 🎃
Nice choice, Pachendale i like the fact that Bruce Dickinson is a Pilot to. Thanks. You guys should try their game for phones, Legacy Of The Beast. Go Maiden.
One of the best in Maiden's lyrics... "But on this battlefield no one wins!"
Iron Maiden Montsegur please
Yes I've been asking for this too. Probably their heaviest song ever, and a wonderfully composed telling of an event in religious history.
In WWI, unknown grave was literal. Soldiers would fall in no man's land and the battle would continue to rage for weeks or months with no possibility of recovering the bodies. Corpses would be buried by the shellfire, or shredded by it. Ernst Junger, a German veteran who wrote a book called "Storm of Steel" based on his experiences, wrote of digging a trench and digging down into a layer of bodies where a previous trench had been flattened and forgotten with dozens of dead men entombed by the artillery.
YES, FINALLY PACHENDALE!!! I haven't even watched the video yet and I'm already hyped hahaha
I actually went to Ypres last year, close to where the battle of Passchendaele was. I visited the museums, memorials and such. It was very impressive and you can see the utter senseless of 'The Great War'. A lot of suffering on both sides. This song does a nice job of catching that vibe.
They actually still have a memorial service every day at the Ypres Menin gate where The Last Post is played (since 1928). Usually quite a few people show up to pay their respects.
The solos in this song are brilliant.
Total casualties at Passchendaele are estimated at 475,000; about 275,000 British and Commonwealth and about 200,000 German. 38,000 Australians, 15,654 Canadians and 5,300 New Zealanders fell there, either killed, wounded or missing.Oct 6, 200
I had a family member in the Great War. He died at Vimy Ridge in his 21st year. He was a sapper. Died digging under German trenches and laying explosives. Husband's family member was in the engineers division behind the lines. He survived.
Iron maiden infinity dreams is marvelows Song .... halhert from Brasil ....
yeah, Infinity War is a great song from Maiden
You guys are great.
Paschendale was the costliest battle of WW1, and the traffic (and city) still comes to a halt every day for the commemoration and remembrance service held there every single day.
Iron Maiden's lyrics always focus on the horrors of war, and never glorify it, except in one song I can think of - Aces High - which remembers the few - those young airmen who saved The UK from German invasion in WW2. In the words of Winston Churchill "Never, in the field of human conflict, hs so much been owed by so many to so few".
The clicking you hear at the beginning is Morse code for SOS......
One of my favourite iron maiden tracks
Masterpiece
Suggestion for an upcoming react: Caught Somewhere in Time
My great grandfather got shot in the head at Paschendaele, recovered and went back to the front.
My humble suggestion would be Starblind, from Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier
Register on their Website and vote for the Maiden song you want! I did this, Is the only way, haha
A very underrated song, I concur!
@@mtaffer It is very underrated, which is quite baffling to me
on the concert they putt, hang wires on stage, in one moment Dickinson act like he is stuck in, he is in uniform from ww1, and thay play this very well, crazy how good they are live, this song special and couple more
i saw this song performed live,amazing. especially at an indoor venue
that solo is amazing
Some Savatage' songs reaction would be great. Hall of the Mountain King, Edge of Thorns, When The Crowds are Gone, Gutter Ballet, Morphine Child, and Believe to name only a few.
Stratovarius - Infinity
Sabaton -The Final Solution
Helloween -How Many Tears
Blind Guardian -Precious Jerusalem
When the Crowds are gone is such an amazing emotional song, that solo is incredible. Gutter is such a fun song.. I wish more people would discover this band
Absolutely!!! Chance, Sirens, The Dungeons Are Calling, Power Of The Night, 24 hours Ago, Of Rage And War, Jesus Saves, Alone You Breathe, and Strange Wings . I have been a huge Savatage fan for over thirty years. I can't believe that it took a change of their name to become famous. Most probably have no clue that Trans Siberian Orchestra were once called Savatge. Both bands are different in many ways, but very much the same also.
iron maiden for the greater good of god
Register on their Website and vote for the Maiden song you want! I did this, Is the only way, haha
Yes! They will never do it unless we pay.
Eric, you dont need to pay. Only register on their website and vote the song you want, it's free!
The next Maiden song you should react to, that also talks about war and similar themes is For the Greater Good of God, it's an awesome song. Until then, you should react to Alcest or Magna Carta Cartel (the band that came before Ghost, far superior in my opinion and it doesnt revolve around satanism, check them out! Hotellus Eviction is their to-go song)
Carlos Pro +1 for some Magna Carta Cartel! I like the newer stuff more than the old, but it’s all pretty good.
I love MCC. I dont really compare MCC and Ghost since they play in completly different ways and genres. My favourites are Valiant Visions Dawn and Sunsettlers.
Register on Website and vote for The Greater Good of God! Is the only way, haha
Another great one from a great band
IRON MAIDEN - THE RED AND THE BLACK
Great song.
i was in the royal engineers,and i was in an army band I marched in my best blue and reds,with swinging snare,marched into the menin gate in ypres,and on belgian tv,laid a wreath then with my sticks,i came to attention,saluted,then drilled my way out,right hand with stick swinging!
Vin, Paschendaele is a Belgian Village in the Northwest Belgian Province named West Flanders. There was a major battle or Flanders Offensive there during WWI with England, France & Belgium on 1 side & Germany (German Empire) on the other. This battle was before USA joined the war. I researched the battle, and there are other major offensives led up to Paschendaele Offensive. Causalities were about equal on both sides.
My grandfather was at the battles around this area when the Germans used gas.He survived but died short time after coming back through illness related to being gased. He died because of war but was not counted as war dead. So really more died than the offical figure. Love Iron Maiden Great reaction and discussion.
Well, this song is so amazing that I gonna forgive you guys for doing the studio version, because the live one is freaking awesome! Cheers!
As a Canadian, I've had to learn about this battle quite a few times across grades. If what we're taught is correct, Iron Maiden makes it sound like a picnic by comparison.
paschendale is a small village in Belgium, and it has the biggest british cemetery with soldiers from all over the commonwealth and even a few germans. i really recomend it. come to Belgium and visit that place. it's called tyne cot cemetery. it is really breathtaking
Black Sabbath - Snowblind!!
And the system of a down cover
Ieperen which was also on the battleground, for the ones who fell in this battle "the last post" is played at exactly 8 pm every day, in that town. And everyone joins, the enormous cemetary is kept pristine up to this day, children in schools learn what happened there, so they will never make that mistake, and care for the graves, for there lies one who made their freedom possible
Gotta watch these songs live version, really brings the story to life.
Amazing song!!!!
Sabaton - the price of a mile
You need to react to a song off the first two Iron Maiden albums...either Phantom of the Opera or Remember Tomorrow...or Wrathchild.
y'all out here discussion orignal sin on a metal vid. Great job keep it up
The intro is a morse code for S.O.S.
I know Paschedale is a village in the Ypres salient there was a report that a Canadian Soldier was Crucified on a barn door or tree with 5 bayonets. Not sure if that was verified but it was used to sell war bonds and I believe a memorial was made for this soldier. Rest in Peace to all soldiers from both sides of that conflict sad to know they are still finding some of the missing from that war.
Caught some where in time reactions is a song increíble
Man the live version is epic
Iron Maiden - Killers or Murders In The Rue Morgue
Revelations!!!!
or maybe strange world nobody had reacted to it
Prowler?
@@random4115 yes! Di'Anno albums are seriously underrated
@@thegreasybagboy I prefer bruce dickinson albums,but Di anno albums are great
YES AWESOME SONG THANK YOU SO MUCH it tells the the horror and the tragedy of the battle itself. The lyricism is incredible. Another great song that deals with war and religion that I would love to see you guys breakdown is For the Greater Good of God - ironmaiden
1917 The battle of Passchendale was the one with he biggest losses for both parties.. close to 800.000 ( some calulations even add 200.00 more losses to the German side, maiking it 1.000.000 people died in one single battle, filling the Earth litterally with blood, the village of Passendaele was almost completely flat after the battle..
Paschendale Was brutal, the year before The Battle of the Somme occurred too, which was just appalling. World War I was utter hell. One thing I've loved about Maiden and other bands is that, even in ways that will never TRULY convey the utter atrocities that occurred, their songs keep the memory alive for us to hear and learn about.
Yes, it is truly overlooked because of ww2. Passchendaele was definitely more hellish than even Stalingrad
Death - Voice of The Soul
Just getting back into Iron Maiden again at 46. Haven't heard any of their music after No Prayer For the Dying. I'm sure that after hearing Paschendale a few more times I'll like it better.
I love it when you guys talk about history -- so more Sabaton please! That's all they sing about!
Live version from Dortmund(?) even better! Some the best work Maiden has delivered ... to date 😋
