It's impossible to NOT fall in love with this woman. It happened to me many years ago when she was still with The Gathering and I've seen them live a couple of times. She's probably the most adorable female being who ever entered a stage to make music. On top of that, she's also an excellent musician with a magically beautiful and haunting voice, great talent and a sense of humor you'll rarely find elsewhere. Welcome to the club :)
there are( 4 )sixteenth notes between each eighth note and then (2) and your way is (2) and (1).. Upon viewing this i was going to try it her way because i think it would help me to learn the intro and picki it up from there! As a musician i was happy to see it this way because i can do it her way now and step it up. Its important to understand that if you want to play you need to slow the tempo down until you can master it and leave us not forget that, " Speed is a by product of accuracy! " ;)
I agree. She have been working with Devin Townsend, Amorphis, and making her own show. This is maybe best iron maiden cover ever. Hoping to see her live this year, coming to my town october 2022. hopefully
This is amazing. Not just at musicianship level (which sure it is), but I just had a moment of enlightenment with regards to why she is so great: attending to her concerts is like watching an old friend playing and singing. She achieves a degree of complicity from the audience rarely achieved by anyone, thanks to that closeness and smile. She's not just talented, but a beautiful human being
I've hated most remakes of any song, besides :Alien Ant Farm's version of "Smooth Criminal". I was worried about my favorite Iron Maiden song being covered. Anneke is so amazing! This is the best cover I've ever heard!
Weird. I am a huge fan of both Iron Maiden and Anneke van Giersbergen, but for some reason, this version does not really get me. It's not bad at all, and her vocals are brilliant, but for some reason it does not work for me.
As much as I've loved Devin's music for the past 20 years, I genuinely think Anneke's work with The Gathering, and most notably her vocal performances on those 6 albums, is better than most.of Devin's discography.
Well, that’s a very brave choice. You don’t simply pull off one of the great anthems of 80s metal. Except... she did. With charm. And that last vocal flourish was just mesmerizing. I tip my hat to you, madam.
"And it makes me want to cry", she sings as I sit here with a tear in my eye. My absolutely favourite Iron Maiden song being beautifully covered by one of my favourite vocalists. Tonight is a good night. This is what a cover should be.
