This signed sheet music is for The Trooper by Iron Maiden, autographed by the band’s founder, bassist, and chief songwriter Steve Harris. Released in 1983 on the album Piece of Mind, The Trooper is one of Iron Maiden’s most iconic songs and a cornerstone of heavy metal. Written by Harris, the track is inspired by the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War, famously recounted in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem. With its galloping basslines, harmonized twin-guitar leads, and Bruce Dickinson’s soaring vocals, the song captures both the glory and futility of battle. Its accompanying single artwork, featuring the band’s mascot Eddie charging with a Union Jack, became one of Maiden’s most recognizable images and an enduring symbol of their identity. Steve Harris (born 1956), the creative force behind Iron Maiden, is widely celebrated as one of metal’s greatest bassists and songwriters. His signature gallop bass style drives The Trooper, giving it relentless momentum and power. Since founding Iron Maiden in 1975, Harris has overseen the band’s evolution into one of the most successful and influential acts in rock history. With multiple platinum albums, massive world tours, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, Harris’s vision has made Iron Maiden synonymous with heavy metal excellence. Owning this signed sheet music for The Trooper is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of metal history that embodies both Iron Maiden’s storytelling brilliance and Steve Harris’s musicianship. For fans of the band, bass players inspired by Harris, and collectors of NWOBHM memorabilia, this artifact represents the enduring legacy of a song that remains a highlight of every Maiden concert.
