ABOUT IRON MAIDEN:
Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of six decades they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.
The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’ which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

2:53 Dave Murray fighting a lizard. This is the best thing in life. After seeing the bravery of a man taking down such a dangerous foe all on his own, using just his guitar as a weapon, I have had my faith in humanity restored. I can die in peace, now.

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Gabriel Rizzo Takano your excellent comment have my faith in humanity restored aswell, I loved every word....

[@rizzo_grt]

Thank you, my brave friend.

[@youngdolo8]

You may be cool, but you'll never be *Dave Murray fighting a plastic lizard using the headstock of a guitar while playing The Trooper in front of thousands of screaming Latin Americans* cool.

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Sergeant Goldust you think that´s the top of cool ? I think he´s the coolest guy because he´s not pretending to be anything he isn´t, and that´s what really counts in my book ...

[@johannrobertofreirefreire3143]

Not a lizard is a fuckin reptilian

[@Maideneer]

There is NO more cathartic and emotionally free moment you will ever experience than being front row during the beginning of this song, having the 4 guitarists charge towards you to stand right in front of your eyes like an impenetrable legendary wall, with General Harris leading the way. Just the fact that this song has been around now for 35 years and has been played in God knows how many cities and countries...the main riff structure and composition still brings me nearly to tears. Knowing that the people in the front row who you never met and don't know at all feel the exact same thing as you is what makes that moment so special. You'd have to be emotionally and musically dead to not like this song.

[@ives3572]

Well said, my fellow metalhead. I agree with every word you said.👊🤘

[@FlymannNO]

i got a tear in my eye just imagining that...

[@Brooksie997]

Can confirm, I was on the floor (second row) at the DCU center two weeks ago when this came on. One of, if not the best feeling ever! Up the Irons!

[@vicentetorres946]

At that time we were 40-50 deaths per day in my country El Salvador, that day Iron Maiden played there were "0" deaths. They brought an atmosphere of peace through Rock and it was felt in the stadium. I am privileged to have witnessed that great concert. Thank you Iron Maiden!!!!!

[@FFLL2112]

Tight!! 3 guitars, 1 bass and a drummer ALL on the same page and kicking ass into their 60’s. Respect 💯

Don't forget the keyboardist backstage, Michael Kenney.

You may be cool, but you'll never be "Dave Murray fighting a lizard using his guitar's headstock while playing the trooper in front of thousands of poeple" cool. 2:53

The Trooper (lyrics) You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand, there's no turning back The bugle sounds, the charge begins But on this battlefield, no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath As I plunge on into certain death The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near, yet so far away We won't live to fight another day We get so close, near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear, I draw my parting groan Source: Musixmatch (Accessed) Wednesday, April 19th 2023 Songwriters: Steve Harris The Trooper lyrics © Iron Maiden Publishing Overseas Ltd., Iron Maiden Publ.
