excellent the way he plays the song and solos. You are one of the most precise people in songs and that takes a lot of work, that's why I admire your work a lot 👏🏼👏🏼
I used to have a picture showing David, Adrian & Steve in a room composing or rehearsing a piece of music, it was a most interesting picture giving insight into how they compose they're music, one of them said in an interview: " after a tour we take off about 6 weeks (or months) we all go our separate ways and then the boredom sets in and the itch to start creating again " and they start working on a new album 👩 and the process is relentless, it just keeps going, from: Scranton, Pennsylvania
Yeah, especially when they played a very calm part for a long time in the song, and then breaks out with crazy melodic solos , the contrast makes it stand out really epic, give you chills :D 9 minutes in to this song is a classic stereotypical Maiden thing that is a huge part of why I love their music.
I've been a long time maiden fan since the Killers album came out and they were touring with Judas priest... You do an excellent job and I can tell you get it and like what you're playing also. The album Powerslave is a journey unto itself...Once again, awesome job.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯
Iron maiden are my favorite band of all time, I know all their music very well and you are spot on and a phenomenal guitarist! Thank you so much you're the greatest out there!
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say. 🙏 As a huge fan myself, I try to do their music justice and share some of what I've learned over the years of studying their playing styles.
I have always loved this band, but I recently got in to them even more after I found this channel and started to follow it. I also ordered one of my dream guitars which arrived yesterday which I did not even know was one of my dream guitars before finding this channel 2 months ago so yeah! I 100% agree with everything you wrote.
the first time I heard this song I couldn't get it out of my head. I just love it and to hear it played by you Nico I get the real picture of it as Maiden must sound playing it. Awesome.. now I think this is an epic one...
When I saw them on this tour, the álbum had been released two days before the show, no one knew what they where playing. What a mess. Anyway, a day to remember for life.
Wish I could have seen that! I had the same experience on the AMOLAD tour in 2006. Album was only just released and of course they were playing the whole thing from start to finish. I loved it but I saw a lot of confused faces 😅
This is one of my most favorite songs by Iron Maiden and Iron Maiden is my most favorite band. You did a great job and your sound arrangements are accurate. But I don't understand why there's only 12k views. I hope your videos get more views and likes in the future.
Thanks a ton, George! Some channels take longer to grow and older videos that were released when the channel had very few followers sometimes get buried after a while. I might end up redoing some of these older covers at some point 😊
The main riff is so crushing. Damn good playthrough! My favourite song on Powerslave. Maybe you should get hired by Bruce on his next solo album ;-) kind regards and up the irons
My man, I have to say that you never stop to amaze (and for someone who every week posts videos playing sick solos, that's something really difficult to maintain). It makes me really happy to see how this project is growing, how the videos are getting better and better and how you never stop to make justice to Maiden's masterpieces. THANK YOU so much for making justice to this song (one of my all-time favorites)!! This cover is by far the best I've seen. As always, I send you my best energy so you can keep sharing Maiden's great vibe with your playing 🤘🏻🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful! thanks for sharing these videos. They really motivate me to pick up the guitar and try to play these songs from my favorite band. Saludos desde Sonora México
Such a fun song to play.. It consists of all the Steve-isms that he started using since HBTN, but still an amazing piece of work. Nico great job as always mate!
Excellent friend. 👏👏👏👏 The tones are great. Is there any way to get those presets? And I also wanted to ask you another question, I already have the Dave Murray signature and I want to buy the Adrian Smith signature: Jackson Adrian Smith SDXQ Trans Green, my question is, did you change the bridge pickup for the Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 ? And the middle pickup and the Samarium Cobalt Noiseless neck pickup are hard to find, which one do you recommend? Or what you have changed. Thank you very much for the videos and dedicating your time to all Iron Maiden lovers ❤🤘🤘🤜🤛
Thank you! Here is a video about my presets in Bias FX II: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ieaEC5pChrU.html I have one about the Jackson SDX as well. I sold the green one but the white one is my main live guitar and I play it all the time! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WjCzJ9K1p10.html
Grazie tantissime e mi fa davvero troppo piacere che questi video siano utili!! È il motivo principale per cui faccio tante riprese con angolature diverse e zoom ☺️
this is by far my favorite maiden song, the amount of love i have for this track is undescribable, i remember my brother showing this to me as a 7 year old. i didn’t really understand how amazing and brutally complex this song is and now as a 16 year old i get it and have learned to appreciate it as their most amazing track
Thank you so much! The sounds are all from Bias FX 2. It's a very versatile plugin that makes it quite easy to dial in some good sound. But a big part of hitting those tones involves little subtleties in how you play. Even with a basic crunch sound, you can work on copying the exact phrasing and tonal inflections! I might do a tutorial on that kind of thing at some point. ☺️
@@krzysztofszafranski615 I got the Elite version just because it gives you more presets and more amps and cabs to choose from. I find it worth the extra money especially if you play different styles or you like to experiment with different sounds.
It's actually stock. This is a 1999-2000 model Deluxe Fat Strat which came with a Mini Floyd Rose bridge and an LSR roller nut. Very good tuning stability and with the locking tuners changing strings is super quick!
I LOVE Rush but I am not very well versed in Alex's playing style. I've started looking into it a bit more recently so I don't exclude doing something from them in the future but for now, I'd rather stick to what I have studied in depth (Maiden) so that I can bring more real value to my viewers. Thanks so much for the comment... I take that as a big compliment!
@@LicksOfTheBeast good stuff man. just remember me if you post a rush video in the future. (Open Secrets first :) btw your maiden covers are top notch.
