Sound Like Iron Maiden | BY Busting The Bank 

I got a challenge for You: FLOYD ROSE RE-STRINGING RACE

Sounds like Iron Maiden by busting a string.

That is the first broken sting in all the Andetons videos that I can remember. Congrats Matt!

In 1989 my neighboor gave me the Seventh Son album, it blew me away, and everything started.

Sound like Megadeth. Rust in Peace record tone if possible :D and by busting or without busting the bank, it doesn't matter

Sounds like Prince! 💜🎸

I'm listening to this thru headphones and just got reminded of how much I used to love Iron Maiden and why. Thank you for that! Sounds awesome.

Love that they did Maiden by busting the bank but I wish we could see more shots of the amp and pedal EQ settings.

Nailed the tone for the Number of the Beast solo \m/

Metallica BY busting!! 😭❤️

One of your best videos. Fantastic sound! Dave Murray rig sounds incredible!!! Just needed the Captain to jump out with a scream.

Matt killing it with the humor this episode. I'm so glad the extended blooper reel at the end is back. I can't wait for the next one.

Sound like Ghost! Get the tone to absolutely nail the 'Square Hammer' riff.

There should be a Sounds Like series for Bassists.

This was awesome! That DSL sounded mounstrous. I must say, the solo of the number of the beast is one of my favourites of all time, it always throws me back to when I was 5 playing F-Zero in the track were it was only a blue tunnel. Great video!

The Number of the Beast solo was very impressive and sounded pretty darn close. I love these videos!

Amp settings would be an amazing decision for the sounds like show

Love Maiden! Great sounds like, very close to their modern live tone.

Thanks for the outtakes! That was really fun.

Great sound and amazing playing!

Grow a beard like Matt without busting the bank!

Bass and Drum part ·Steve Harris -Of course, Steve Harris Signature Fender P bass. Flatwound strings are esential -In the early Maiden, Steve used Marshall, but now he prefers Orange amps, like other metal bass players. It gives a crunchy and trusty sound, wich is perfect for that style. The Orange AD200B Mk3 is your amp, all valve, 200 of rockin bass. A OBC410 cabinet by Orange is a nice complementary gear -Another thing wich is very important is the compressor. Boos BC-1X Bass Compressor, it's got a very natural tone ·Nicko McBrain -He is the drummer from 1982, so he should be in this section. The guy who played in the first albums (Iron Maiden, Killers, The Number Of The Beast) was Clive Burr who had a very different style. Nicko has a more jazzy way to kick it, he uses single bass drum and sigle pedal, very Bonham. The antoher most important factor is he sets lots of rack toms, sounding like an army full of horses. You need the arms of the octopus to play like him. -We are busting the bank, so: Sonor SQ1 Rock (24x14 bass drum, 13x9 rack tom and 16x15 floor tom) and some extra 10, 12 and 14 toms by Sonor, if you can find it. Only one floor tom, that 16x15 SQ1 -14x5 Birch snare, I don't find that by Sonor :( -Nicko has a signature Paiste set for around 10.00 dollars, it's got so much crashes. I think that it is not necesary, with only two crashes you can soun like Iron Maiden. 2002 series are good

I love this series and I like the outtakes at the end, but what I'd really like to see is dedicated video of behind the scenes where we see you dialing in the pedals and amp settings for each song for one of the more challenging bands.

The strat looks great man!! And sounds awesome!

1:09 Run The Trooper?

sound like tony iommi by busting the bank sound like randy rhoads by busting the bank sound like gary moore by busting the bank

Randall, some awesome speed work on the fret board. I can only dream of playing like that. Nice job.

The last two minutes should be what the entire show is like. Just the boys hangin out being silly. Great stuff fellas.

It's worth noting that Dave Murray used a V100 for at least a couple songs on The Book of Souls

MUSE By busting the bank! you can go crazy on pedals and effects! Whammy pedal etc.

I have been watching for a few years now but this is the first time I have commented. Sounds Like pulled me into watching all the Andertons playback commentary as a fly on the wall to the Willie Wonka of music clubhouses with all its toys, toys, toys. What I really appreciate about Sounds Like… Without Busting the Bank is the understanding what a listening hopeful is looking for in trying to imitate the sounds that pulled them into the experience which is the realm of the guitar world. Without Busting the Bank dares to take into account while appreciating those on a budget through expertise in knowledge of equipment, playing styles, tones, and overall musicianship individuality of what it would take to sound like a particular inspirational guitarist. I have been on a budget my WHOLE LIFE, so I am thankful there are those in the industry that take the time to include those that can’t shell out for the “custom/signature” series equipment. Just letting us know about amp and pedal settings clues us into what can be achieved at home without having to order online. I have looked to these videos (is that what the kids still call youtube things?) as a way for me to combine ideas and merge artists together in my own flare. Imitation with the capacity to be versatile ironically gives a player fresh new ideas without feeling regurgitation of something that can never be improved upon. There is always hope for new sounds when exploring the inspirations of the past. THAT being said… this one was kicked ass and I’m not even a huge Iron Maiden fan! Total respect but not my flare. I watch all the Sounds Like regardless. I loved the comparison in this episode from Without and By Busting the Bank. Sadly, there is a difference in sounds and bones are bones, to walk the walk it helps to have Bank. It did get me to thinking. Can it sound like if it feels different? Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page started with a Tele but he is known for the Les Paul, yet it would be hard to claim the two guitars did not produce such a massive singular sound. Page even played a Danelector!!!!! Say you like Toni Iommi but the SG doesn’t feel right so you power chord a Les Paul, OR you prefer the vibe of a… STRAT [insert Psycho theme music here]. Can a single coil pound out Iron Man? Obviously coil splitting guitars answer this question easily, but I would like a comparison of similar gear used by an artist to that of a different model or design battling it out to see if you can achieve the same massive singular sound. If nothing else just to experience the differences. JIMI HENDRIX… is there any other guitar in the world other than the beloved Fender Stratocaster? Slash recorded a majority of Appetite for Destruction with a Les Paul relic made by Kris Derrig. If nothing else I would just like to hear the extermination in gear through the differences. Maybe this is too abstract of an idea. I guess I’m talking about personalization without direct copy which is the freedom of every player to do naturally on their own, but I would like Sounds Like to explore what makes a sound clear through one channel yet deafening in another. I have read requests for there to be a Sounds Like the Beatles which brings this all to point. How could you when the Beatles used all kinds of gear morphing their sound from Pop to Psychedelic to British Blues Rock? Yet when you hear a chord it all Sounds Like the Beatles. Is it the style or the reach which pulls us closer to the sound? Consider it a test in Psychology 1:01 accompanied in with Sounds Like Music Theory. Anyway, I really like tuning in and I look forward to more installments. You guys have the chops to make any equipment sound great. I appreciate the knowledge and detail given in dissecting every sound and the patience in understanding the different playing levels we as guitarist are all at. The tech talk inspires me to keep thinking and playing. Thanks for not talking down.

Loved the bloopers at the end!

Sound like Randy Rhoads? You know, Marshall 100w super lead, mxr distortion+, space echo, sick stuff

Sound like the jam by busting 🤞👏👏

Haha those bloopers were great! :D Need more of that

Thanks for doing Iron Maiden they are one of my favourite Bands.

Sound like Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)!! I know Rabea would love doing that one

To the Video ROMM!!!

Run to the Hills sounded proper awesome when it kicked in. Nice! This was a great fun episode.

Wonderfull, great fun to see!

Need to do a sounds like Eric johnson

Sounds like Scorpions, that would be awesome

Epic playing bea that was sick

Aaah lovely bit of nostalgia! Reminiscent of my teenage years :) Blistering riffs of yesteryear \m/

You still haven't sounded like Slayer on a budget.

Def leppard on budget please ;)

The colour of the rosewood substitute looks awesome!

I tuned in just to watch Bea play some Maiden. I wasn't disappointed! I'm a fan.

QOTSA BY busting the bank please! It would be very interesting with their boutique/bass amps!

The Fender Mexicana with 3 Humbuckers is great!!!

Love it!

I'm just happy to see Rabea playing some Iron Maiden :).

Some suggestions: Sounds like "Bad Religion" without busting the bank, "Nirvana" (by busting the bank), "Stone Temple Pilots", "Creedence Clearwater Revival", "Lynyrd Skynyrd", "the Doors", and just to mix it up - "Chuck Berry" and thanks you guys are awesome!

Metallica BY busting the bank

Love the outtakes !😂😂🤘🏻🤘🏻

I love the bloopers at the end!

Reaaaly nice Pls do sound like A7X

Sounds like Sonic Youth!!

Nice job on number of the beast

Love Pau ferro, nice colour and keeps the same neat tone

Sound like Def Leppard.

Adrian Smiths main guitar is his Jackson signature but because it wasn't in stock i think you should have choosen a Gibson les paul goldtop instead of the strat because that's his second guitar of choice... He did use a fender strat also with dimarzio superdistortion in the bridge but i would have gone with a les paul

That sounded amazing. Huge sound. Sound like Mark Tremonti By Busting the Bank (TWO AMPS) Sound like Collective Soul

You guys Sound so good

You guys need some more punk stuff so how about The Misifits

Do Gary Clark Jr BY busting. Rabea even said in the without busting that he wanted to do without busting for him.

I actually love the look of the Pau Ferro wood on the neck. I don't think I'd want a whole guitar of that color, but on the neck it accents the look of the body itself in a way that I find really pleasant.

I honestly love that new board color

Love me some Maiden. Great job, guys. As for Pao Ferro, I’ve never played a guitar with it on it but as for the color, I prefer a darker colored fretboard.

Sound like Electric Wizard by busting.

Sound like Ghost please. You guys are great. Keep it up!!

This has to be one of the most successful bustings as far as sounding infinitely better than the under 1500

Sound like Ghost would be cool.

This is early in the video still: but Adrien smith used Gibson exclusively with iron maiden in the 80s. Mainly famous for his 70s les Paul deluxe gold top with mini humbuckers

Old School Irons fan here. Should've udsed a LP for Adrian IMHO. Great video guys.

I quite liked the metal Whole Lotta Love! Also, 20 minutes of outtakes and bloopers would be hysterical

-Sound like Slayer without busting the bank -Sound like Megadeth without busting the bank -Sound like Anthrax without busting the bank -Sound like Lamb of God without busting the bank -Sound like Linkin Park without busting the bank -Sound like Rush by busting the bank -Sound like Metallica by busting the bank

Could you make bloopers of the videos from each month or else That would be awesome!!!

Yes! Thank you!

Bring back the bloopers of the month videos :)

Half stacks? Not FULL STACKS???I am disappoint. Come on! This is Bustling!

Not gonna lie, I started singing Number of The Beast at my cat when you started playing it. He doesn't seem impressed.

These are honestly the most entertaining videos in the guitar world.

SOUND LIKE METALLICA BY BUSTING THE BANK !!!!!!!! please that would be nice thanks guys , awesome video by the way

Maiden needs Bass imo, I'd almost prefer G+B to 2x Guitar

Currently Dave is using a Victory V100 and a clarksdale OD by Wampler and MXR D+. But I’m getting good maiden like sounds from a Victory V30 and a TS Cline and a D+ clone with a Cmat mods Analog Chorus.

Esto es lo que estaba esperando crj

Spot on!

Sound like Children Of Bodom!!

Please do sounds like the Melvins

Much closer to their tone this time. Sounds great!

always loved ts's into marshalls!

Rush by busting the bank

Sound like Def Leppard

Rabea to answer your question. I quite like the pau ferro color and grain. I haven't gotten a chance to play them enough to tell any tonal difference but, I've always found rosewood to be a tad bit boring to look at so... take that as you will. Also sound like ZAPPA! Lol.

These sound SO good! Lightyears ahead of the "without busting" rig. And these aren't even crazy prices either especially Rabea's coming out at... what... £1500/1600 for a top guitar and amp? Not bad at all!

Billy Duffy - The Cult

Do joe bonammaza by busting the bank !! Silver jubilee, les pau

I wish I could like this more than once.

Please do this again, but with Rob or Joss sitting in and you guys doing it right with all 3 parts!
