A Return to Iron Maiden! "The Trooper" vocal ANALYSIS with Bruce in double horse stance!

Bruce Dickinson's live performances coined the term "horse stance" due to how he plants himself while belting high notes, and this performance of "The Trooper" is no exception! It's been a while since I've analyzed Iron Maiden, but I've never forgotten. And now it's time to hear one of their most iconic songs for the first time!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Iron Maiden performing "The Trooper" for the first time.

You may not know is that Bruce is a throat cancer survivor (diagnosed in late 2014). It makes the fact that he's still able to deliver on stage exactly what you heard even more incredible. I'm so glad you're loving "Maiden"... the storytelling (Aces High; Hallowed Be Thy Name) is due to Steve Harris (bassist who wrote the songs) and the musicianship is due to the fact that they are all maestros of their instruments (including vocals). I hope you continue to explore their music... it's a rich seam of musical treasure for you to discover (and I'm getting a new appreciation of genres I wouldn't normally have heard thanks to you - my husband sit down together to listen to what you're listening to and what you're saying about it... and we usually agree with you analysis).

I’m late to the party watching this reaction video. Great reaction and commentary. As one commenter noted, this is a song about the Charge of the Light Brigade. The historic battle that was an epic failure of leadership, communication and tactics because they attacked the wrong objective, but this was also a testament to the valor and bravery of the British troopers who knew this attack was doomed to failure, but rode into battle anyway. Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote the poem “Charge of the Light Brigade”. In my opinion, this song, both vocally and musically, takes the listener along into battle, presenting the speed and controlled chaos which occurs on the battlefield. Especially, considering the story that is being told, where a British light horse cavalry, about 650+ troopers charged to the front of a well prepared and dug-in Russian force of about 20 infantry battalions, supported by 50 Russian artillery pieces, a ratio of about 11 to 1 in favor of the Russian Forces. The light cavalry didn’t have guns, they rode into battle on lighter fast horses with only lances and sabers to fight with (Hense the opening line of the song, “you fire your musket, but I’ll run him through”). The initial charge forced the Russian forces to fall back, but due to the heavy casualties sustained by the cavalry, the Russian forces quickly regrouped and initiated a counterattack attack that all but decimated the remaining troopers. The speed of the song is representative of the speed at which cavalry battles take place. The three individual guitarists, playing slightly differing solos, while being rhythmically in time, gives the illusion of individual troopers fighting valiantly in the heat of battle, but remaining disciplined as highly trained soldiers to stay the course, not break and run in the eyes of certain defeat. This is a modern metal band’s awesome writing and retelling of this historic battle in a way that only IM can do it justice musically!

If anyone sees one hard rock/metal band live in their lifetime, it’s gotta be Iron Maiden. I’ve seen a lot of great bands live & had great times, but seeing Maiden live is a experience like no other. The energy from the band & the crowd is incredible, like nothing else. I’ve seen interviews with Maiden & Bruce where they said that playing live & entertaining the crowd & the reaction from the crowd drives them to put on a great show. Bruce said in a interview once that he wants the person all the way in the back seat of the arena to feel like they got their money’s worth & that Bruce is singing to them as well as the ones in front

This song is a retelling of the poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade."

@j_freed 11 ай бұрын

I like that song, Talksman and yes Bruce does push up to a very high D5 note countless times in the chorus. That's unusual. However he's just 'scooping' up to those notes for a very short duration most of the time, much easier than sustaining that note (as he does a few times in the song outro melody, before relaxing down to a much easier A4 instead.) Bruce is a Pro. I tend to think his "most difficult songs" are usually have a sustained B4, like in Children of the Damned, which was tough to pull off, or Nomad which he never sang live. Monsegur is another super cool song they never played I think, just too many B4s and D5s to make it a pleasure to perform vocally. A ballbuster as they say. To me "Coming Home" is one of the most majestic songs / best vocals Maiden have ever recorded and I miss hearing it. It's sort of in the same vein as solo-album Bruce songs like Navigate to Seas of the Sun, Tears of the Dragon. So much heart in the singing performance! And you can't mistake that brilliant Adrian Smith guitar solo, it's a perfect moment. Man, Final Fromtier album was their last big shining moment! But they owe us nothing...

In all, "The Trooper" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" tell largely the same story in largely the same way, different primarily in the perspective -- Tennyson tells it in macro regarding the whole brigade as known in the aftermath while Dickinson / Iron Maiden are telling the same story as if by one of those six hundred while it's happening.

Whatever the reason, it works. Besides, if you got 2 guitar players who can play the same solo, use that ability. That's the advantage of having 3 guitar players.

Elizabeth, I echo what someone mentioned about you getting to talk to Bruce on your show. As I speak on the 25th May 2024 he is presently on tour in his one man show. Rumours flying around that the band might be getting back together. Something you mentioned about why there wasint more guitar pairs playing together more. The reason is quite simple. In most rock/metal bands, they only have two guitarist's. Lead and Rythm but maiden have three, so thats two leads and a Rythm. And as you know, the lead guitarists share most of the leads. In my opinion, you are the best analyst on KZfaq, respect to the others but it's great to see your conversion into metal/rock. Your unchecked enthusiasm is amazing.

Not only does it give you a better feel for the meaning behind the lyrics, it is also great to hear Bruce in his prime! Wishing you all the best.

This song is about the Crimean War. Written by bassist and founding-member Steve Harris, the song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took place during the Crimean War, and inspired by Lord Tennyson's 1854 poem of the same name.

I dont know if it has been said yet, but part of what makes their solos so powerful with multiple guitarists is the fact that one is on a Gibson Les Paul, and the other on a Fender Stratocaster, both known for having polar opposite yet amazing voices. Their "guitar weaving" sounds beautiful because of the very different tones.

I recommend to checkout the studio version or some live version from the 80's to hear young Bruce. It's of course great storytelling, Bruce vocals (and also whole song) really fits to the war in the skies, and it's one of their greatest hits. I'm sure you'll be the delighted ;)

Iron Maiden are real, legitimate LEGENDS. Absolutely MASTERS of their craft. Their music rips through the darkness and speaks to your very heart and soul, lifting it up out of the muck and mire of lifes trials and blasting it through the clouds and up to the dizzying heights of another realm, a higher plane of existence. It's always so hard for me to explain to others that don't share the same experience with it. From being an unwanted child, to various abuse at the hands of multiple people in many different homes and on the street, to betrayal, abandonment, manipulation, chronic illness, PTSD and a multitude of other traumas, pain and suffering, MUSIC is the one thing that has always gotten me through. I cant describe the feeling I get when I get in my car or my great grandfathers old truck, roll the windows down, and crank up the volume until it literally drowns out everything, telling myself to just let go and let the music take control as it pierces the night air, feeling it course through me like electricity, reminding me that I am alive and that I am more than just my earthly self. Songs like "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden, "Wild Child" by WASP, "Humans Being" by Van Halen, "Nobodys Fool" by Cinderella, "Rocket" by Def Leppard, "Rhythm of Love" by the Scorpions, "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue, "Only the Young" by Journey, "In the Dark" by Billy Squire" and "Heaven & Hell" by Dio, (or basically any Disturbed song, especially "Prayer") among so many others just...they speak to my soul and reignite a fire within that I can never explain. It truly HEALS me in ways that nothing else is able to. Music is just so incredibly special and truly powerful. It can alter your mood, your very outlook on life. It can take you back in time, bring people and places long gone back to life, if even just for a moment. May music live on forever, and the soundtracks of our lives echo through eternity. ❤️‍🔥🤘❤️‍🔥

Anyway, I must confess that I just found your channel last night but I’m already hooked and obsessed with it. I absolutely love how you put in display all your vocal experience to further explain all the technical aspects and put the emphasis on expression, interpretation and lyrics.
