Drums are a Roland TD-11 triggering drum samples from Native Instruments Abbey Road 80's drummer and cymbal samples from FXPANSION BFD 3.
Bass is recorded direct with it's main tone coming from plug-ins, mainly Waves CLA Bass and SoundToys Decapitator.
The guitars are both going through Line 6 Helix Native.
Vocals are recorded with Audio Technica Microphones and processed with Wave Plug-Ins
We use Audio Technica headphones and a MOTU interface.

Well Steve Harris had a lot of musical input. This album is more Adrian Smith but usually Harris writes the songs, so he probably doesn't write himself boring bass lines.

Appreciated how they got the volume correct on the bass parts, every time I hear someone cover this song, you can barely make out the bass. The attention to detail that the geeks put into every song they cover is what sets them apart from the rest. One of my favorite groups of musicians .

Almost all good Maiden covers have female singers. Bruce's reigster is just too damn high. Half the time he's past tenor into the soprano register on the high notes. From a technical standpoint peobably one of the most impressive singers outside of opera. And those guys can't sing Maiden either. Try asking them to sing past the high C. They'll probably smirk and say that's not possible.

OUTSTANDING!!!!! This is one of my favorite songs by Iron Maiden and know it inside and out, and the attention to detail you guys gave it was phenominal. Steve Harris is a hard bassist to follow and Richie did him justice. The solo was perfect, and the Anne Marie was dead on, too. Was hard to imagine a woman singing Maiden, but once I heard, all fears were gone. NO, I didn't forget the drums, Nicko is also hard to imitate sometimes, but drums were on point, too. I think out of any band I have seen in concert, Maiden has to be the one I have seen the most.

The BEST cover of one of my most favorite Iron Maiden song! As I reached 40, about to turn 42 at the end of summer, I became nostalgic. My past may not be that great. I had my fun in my 20s. It wasn't until my late 30s I realized, I am living in my Golden Years. A great woman at my side. A daughter who looks up to me.
@user-lv7ph7hs7l 5 ай бұрын
The song hits different as time goes by. And each time the phrase "Golden Years" hits harder. And yet I keep wasting every year as it passes by. Didn't listen to Maiden for 10 years. Got back into it. Of course with Somewhere Back in Time. I have to admit l had to fight off the tears a little. Finally gonna learn it on guitar. Never went past the opening.

When something is this consistently amazing, none of the superlatives seem fitting. Just stunning performances that show how many incredibly talented musicians are out there who are not stars . . . but should be. Listen to a recent live performance of Maiden doing it now. There's no comparison. This performance by TBG, which is live, even gives the original a very tough run for its money. It's faster and the musicians are better. I get that using a woman to sing lead could be seen as "cheating," but listen to both and tell me which one is better executed.
