Understanding The Trooper (Patreon)

Understanding The Trooper

Iron Maiden is one of the most iconic bands in the history of metal, and The Trooper is one of their most iconic songs. It's full of signature Iron Maiden techniques like frantic rhythms, syncopation, harmonizing guitars, and of course the operatic screams of Bruce Dickinson. Or one of the other four vocalists they've had over the years, but Dickinson will always be Maiden to me. Anyway it's a very different piece of music from most of the stuff we've looked at before, and it's a great example of a lot of the musical vocabulary that sets metal apart even today.
