Overview [edit]

Bruce Dickinson performing the vocal live wearing a "red coat" styled armed forces smock.

Written by bassist and founding-member Steve Harris, the song is based on the Charge of the Lite Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took identify during the Crimean War,[two] and inspired by Lord Tennyson's 1854 verse form of the same proper name.[3] The track has been the subject of much praise since its release, with AllMusic describing it as "an all-time genre archetype that boasts guitarists [Dave Murray] and [Adrian Smith'southward] most memorable harmonized atomic number 82 riff, plus that trademark galloping rhythm,"[4] while Mick Wall comments that it is the song "which almost Maiden fans from those days still remember get-go when you mention the Piece of Mind anthology."[five] Despite the popularity of the vocal, it was the single's B-Side, a cover of Jethro Tull's "Cross-Eyed Mary", which managed to proceeds a substantial amount of airplay on US radio,[six] becoming ane of the band'due south few tracks, along with previous single "Flight of Icarus",[v] to practise so.

The unmarried's accompanying music video included clips of a cavalry battle from the 1936 motion picture The Charge of the Light Brigade, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland,[7] which the BBC refused to play unedited, deeming the footage too violent.[ii] The band'southward managing director, Rod Smallwood, has since criticised the decision, stating, "Anyone would think we'd killed the horses ourselves instead of using an one-time Errol Flynn picture show."[2]

A regular fixture in the band's concerts, vocalist Bruce Dickinson has always waved a Spousal relationship Flag during live performances and, more recently, has begun wearing an authentic scarlet glaze uniform which would have been worn during the boxing on which the song was based.[8] During a functioning in Dublin in 2003, Dickinson's flag-waving reportedly received a big corporeality of booing from the Irish audition.[9]

While the ring were receiving criticism from Sharon Osbourne in 2005, at the fourth dimension justifying her attack on the band at the 2005 Ozzfest, she accused Iron Maiden of disrespecting American troops, then fighting aslope the British in Iraq, for waving a Spousal relationship Flag in the US, although Classic Rock magazine supported the band past pointing out that the vocal'due south discipline bore no relation to the military activity then taking place in the Eye East.[8]

On 15 August 2005, a alive version of the song was released from the then upcoming live album, Death on the Road.[10]

On 24 April 2016, during Fe Maiden's functioning in Beijing (their first in China), Dickinson did not bring out a flag while performing "The Trooper" as office of the asking from the Chinese government to allow Iron Maiden to perform in the country.[11] The flag was also omitted for a concert in Shanghai two days later.
