watching this video you can realize how good is McBrain's drum work at this song and lots of people don't see this. It's one of the best performances at Maiden
tolive7 SO TRIGGERED BECAUSE HE ISN'T PLAYING IT THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE PLAYED EVEN THOUGH IT'S HIS LIFE AND HE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS!!1!1!1!!!1!1!!!
First person to mention Nicko's single bass pedal gets a ticket to my nuts. ;) I request of my fans to copy and paste this statement to anyone who leaves such a comment. That would be hilarious for me. Like all Maiden covers, I approach them with my style
First of all, you know NOTHING about history. So please bitch, shut up, read some books about the ''history'' of Vardaska, and don't make pointless propaganda. Maiden are not that naive to just make such an epic song about Alexander the Great, the Great Greek King.
Jimmy Savile There's a reason his country is called F.Y.R.O.M and not "Macedonia". Makedonia is the northern part of Greece and Macedonians the Hellenic Tribe who was leaving in the area for thousands of years,identifying themselves as Hellenes.Just like the Athenians did,theThebans did,the Corinthians did etc.
S0larus What a joke. Maiden has always been the better band, lyrics, song structure, stage performance, longevity in their skills. Metallica couldn't over preform Maidens worst album with their best, let alone one of Maidens better tracks vs. Met' s new, bland album.
I like that you've covered this song. Joint first with my favourite maiden song, caught somewhere in time, the sound and tone of the whole album does it for me. Your rendition of it is sick always like watching your vids 👊
Watching the vídeo as i write this: man, fuckin A you did a Maiden song!! I would love to see you play Caught somewhere in time!! Btw, Nicko used single pedals up until the 2000's (i think). Badass Cover Josh!! you da man!! ;)
+Josh Steffen wow... thanks for that piece of info. Was not truly sure about that fact. Although i read before (and also Bruce says itvon a documentary) that Nicko considered it "un-drummer-ish" to do that... and thats why i love Nicko. Btw... are you familiar with the work of Sacramento's Zach Hill (Hella, Death Grips fame)?
Yet another great one! And another great bass drum sound. When I thought about it, I thought that the "click" sound kind of sounded like a tweety bird. Made me laugh when I thought of it.
What's up my man,going back to an old fave band of mine! Takes me back to locking myself in my room shedding through Aces High! I fkn love playing that song,and Maiden in general.Songs like this 1,and Ancient Mariner take you on a journey when you play them,Good stuff man! As usual,you're smooth,and in the pocket. I also laughed my ass off at the Nicko single bass pedal comment,I'm the same way,Ofcourse we could play it exactly like the damn song is played,but we choose to put our own style to it,without ruining how the original is played. I agree,that the people who would bitch about Not playing it exact,are more than likely ONLY sheet music readers with no style or feeling,in which case can eat a piping hot serving of Go Fuck Themselves! Keep beating those skins brother,enjoyed it!
Friggin Absolutely Awesome Man. I don't know how You remember All the Changes & Fills in that Song. It's Hectic,,, the Changes in Tempo,, let alone the Correct Fills is hard enough.
awesome job! this is one of my favourite maiden songs, definitely the most underrated. Wish they would perform it at least one time live before they retire
Dude Forget You Tube..I personally think you're one of the best drummers PERIOD!!Holy smokes you've got some serious talent man..like I'm telling you something lol
Josh, I think Nicko said once Alexander it was the most difficult song for him to play but you made it seem like it was a stroll in the park!!! Good work mate
