Man, that has to be one of the best songs ever!!

I saw them play it live....and it is one of the best songs ever!! [headbang]

Just a Whoot Whoot for old Maiden. ALL of it.

IRON MAIDEN ROCKS!!!!! I love "The Trooper".
I also think "The Prisoner" is awesome.

Music video was one of the best as well, Charge of the light brigade.
You'll take my life but I'll take your's too,
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through,
So when your waiting for the next attack,
You'd better stand theres no turning back...

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 and 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.

What are the troops listening to in battle these days???

Beyonce?

have you heard "Dance Of Death?" their new album... VERY good... Old sound of Iron Maiden is back... thats all I have to say about that.

BTW.. My band used to play The Trooper, Wrathchild and Number of the Beast... As a bass player... I had A LOT of fun playing those.

S.L.A.Y.E.R.'s Point would be killer killing song too. If I could send anything to the troops that would be it.

Leave you where your commrades lie
Point is where all f$%@*@g die

Ahhhh, Ministry. The sounds of a hammering '60 with "So What" or "Stigmata" - would've put a shit eating grin on my grill [:D]

Hell Yes. Saw Ministry live too. One hell of a show. Hero kicks ass!

No way! I thought they only did that in movies!

How the heck did you hear the intercom and radio.

I thought crews just brought a car CD player and a couple of cheep speekers that they could hang wherever there was room-or hang them outside when they were doing service stops.

This post was inspired by my watching disc 1 of my new "Visions of the Beast" DVD, a compilation of Maiden's videos...
