Adrian Smith's solo on this song made me pick up a guitar & it's one of my favorite guitar solos. You did an amazing job 🔥

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.

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 😅

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 100% agree with everything you wrote.

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.

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

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. ☺️

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.
