    Dude, I am a hardcore Iron Maiden Fan. I grew up with them and I was very skeptical of this before I listened to it. I mean come on, it’s Iron Maiden. There’s absolutely nothin Iron about a piano. Let me just say, this is absolutely stunning. I would never have imagined that such a song could be redone in such a manner but holy shit you knocked it out of the atmosphere. This was the first video of yours I had seen and I’m hooked. I gotta see what else uou got.

    Incredible interpretation! This hits so much harder than the original (for me), because of it's lyrics, combined with the melancholic piano / voice.

    Heyyyy I apologize if I've commented on anything else you've posted, and I'm not sure if I did or not, but we talked at the HCU show in Minneapolis. We reminisced about BNS playing at The Myth with Stone Sour and Shadows Fall. I digress. I would LOVE to hear you Qover Wasted Years by Cold! It's a Cold original that happens to have the same name as this song you just performed. If you have done it already, I'm sure to find it, as I keep combing through your channel. Thank you very much for what you do! Much love! I might just record it and post a Qover of it myself, as I'm trying to build a UA-cam channel full of Qube Qovers (I invite you to check it out.

    My very first cassette tape was from a friend up the road. He gave me Eurythmics Revenge on one side and Iron Maiden's first album on the other. I was 7 or maybe 8 years old. You're messing with some serious building blocks of my childhood here!
    Wasted Years is also one of my all time favorites. I don't know how many hours I poured over the Somewhere In Time cover artwork, but this was always the stand out track for me, on that album.
    An excellent job. Well done. Really; I'm so impressed with the re-imagining. Beautifully sung.
