He literally channels the spirit of Maiden. I think he sold his soul to Eddie :)

This song reflects evolution of Harris composing skills. This song is more complex than others. It sounds like a symphony. 🎸

Trur and that's something about Maiden I have always admired. They started off with strong and fairly intricate compositions like Phantom of the Opera but they never became complacent. They kept raising their level until the most recent album with songs like The red and the black and Empire of the clouds.

Not Even close to Sign of The Cross, Hell On Earth, SSoASS or Rime of the Ancient Mariner. FTGGOG is just a solid big Arry’s song ;) But not more than that.

In my -very humble- opinion, AMOLAD is maybe Maiden's best mixed album. I always say the same, but the truth is the truth: great job, Nico!

I have to agree... I love the sound on that one! Thanks so much as always 🤘
@maikk.9503 3 жыл бұрын
Yes! I totally agree with that. A (fun) fact about this is, that Steve Harris decided to forego a mastering of the album. Sometimes less is more... Up the Irons!

" You know religion has a lot to answer for". My favorite song on what is my favorite Maiden album tied with DoD. It was so awesome to see them do this song live. The lick behind the chorus is genius and you play it to perfection. Thanks for this. Cheers and Up The Irons!

what a great song indeed... thanks for this wonderful cover! i was 13 when AMOLAD released and naturally i have a lot of memories and emotions attached to these songs. must have been around that time when i really started to feel misplaced in this world and among my peers, worse than just classic puberty stuff... this album was there for me and had the right vibe. earlier maiden stuff wouldn't have done the same.

I know there was a tab book for this album although I don't know how accurate it is. I don't use tabs so I'm not really sure if anybody has made good ones for guitar pro or whatever. I recommend just doing it by ear. If you slow down this video a bit you can even get a very good idea of the fingerings so that should make it fairly easy ☺️ Good Luck!
