Iron Maiden - Aces High (Studio w/ added Churchill's Speech)

I took the studio version of Aces High and coupled it with Churchill's Speech like they do live. Enjoy! All rights to EMI.

I can literally hear the crowd after Churchill says “We shall never surrender!” And the intro kicks in. Aces High just isn’t the same without that speech!

[bowlingstoned]

Always loved Churchill's speech going into this one, and it never fails to make the hairs on my entire being stand up! Up the Irons! 🇬🇧🤘

[thomasallen]

its not the same without the Speech.  Up the Irons USA

[nicolasaviles]

“We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!"

[mako]

the combination of this speech and aces high is hands down the best live show opening EVER! The speech pumps you up to go ballistic as soon as aces begins.

[BrianAchterberg]

An amazing tribute to ALL the RAF pilots(foreign and domestic) that saved England during the Battle of Britain! May all those RAF pilots(foreign and domestic) ALWAYS have clear blue skies and a tailwind! TALLYHO LADS!!! UP THE IRONS!!! ✊
Here’s a true history lesson about the Battle of Britain, it was/is a fighter group made of all Polish pilots(303 Polish Fighter Squadron) that flew Spitfires and Hurricanes that scored the “most kills”(58.8) during the Battle of Britain.

[TissenWurt]

thanks to my history teacher who showd me this !

[davidrudolph]

Right....Never Surrender, doesn't matter what you believe in. Just believe

[AlanAttack]

fucking start with the speech then the bursting riff makes me punch my own face its so good!

[thepsychosoundscientist]

Listen to this loud enough and you are transported into the cockpit of a Spitfire, blasting Messerschmitt's and
Focke-Wulf's outta the sky.

[mthomas]

Cant ever get the volume loud enough for this one

[BieberForeverJL]

There goes the siren that warns off the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks
There's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it's too late

Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, live to fly,
Fly to live, Aces high

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again

Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning out spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press my guns.

Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.

August 31, 2019 I saw Iron Maiden live in concert. Aces High was their first song and they used the speech from Churchill. One of the best concert introductions ever.

Church Hills Speech can inspire any Country to overthrow the powers of The oppressor!

[Shug]

Love that speech and I'm a Scottish nationalist, hate watching documentaries when they say ENGLAND stood alone, grandad was at Dunkirk among other places, but Britain never won anything from the war, nearly bankrupt yet Germany and Japan became economic powers and we just paid off the Marshall plan loan, but Churchill was a legend in ww2

[aujay]

Churchill - One of the greatest leaders in recorded history, i doubt we would have won the war without that great man at the helm!

[TheTorkilS]

I think it's even better with the intro!

[nolannorris]

What balls he had. Germany had just conquered like 11 nations and England was the only democratic nation standing up to hitler, and they were just like. "Bring it..."

[kweldulf]

I'm German and I love this song :)

[kdog]

Have to have the speech going into this one.🍷This one of my favorite speeches. Things then and days of the blitz was so dire for englanders then my buddy from England then talked about it when his mom was a young girl and mom and family had to go underground subway system and ration food like a few eggs and stuff a week then. God bless this world over tyranny and tyrants for justice comes to them by God also amen🙏
