    Blaze Bayley is one of the returning guest musicians on this album, performing two tracks from his Iron Maiden days, as well as a unique version of Blood Brothers off the Brave New World album!
    Thomas has gained almost 10 million views on UA-cam with his arrangements of Iron Maiden songs for classical guitar, making this his most anticipated album to date.
    Zwijsen comments; “in our attempt to choose the best track listing for the most fulfilling, surprising and complete Iron Maiden tribute album, we simply couldn't fit all the songs on a single CD, so we decided to make it a double CD this time. Many of the songs were requests from people on UA-cam. If this were to be the setlist at an Iron Maiden concert, I’d be very happy!”.

    Out of this world. I have been listening to Maiden since 1982 and first saw them live in summer of '82, this is one of the few covers that did not make me sick. Thomas, I bow down to you. Beautiful arrangement and execution. UP THE NYLON IRONS.

  • @WhoWouldWantThisName
    @WhoWouldWantThisName 12 років тому +4

    One of my all time favorite songs and that is now one of my favorite covers of it. Absolutely beautiful. I hope the guys from Maiden have seen this, they would be very proud and appreciate.

    Thomas, I really loved your last rendition of "Wasted Years", but I find this version even more unique. I love the more mellow tempo. It adds a nice bit of soul to one of Iron Maiden's best songs.

    can't find the right words to tell you what you have made to me with this unbelievable performance.

  • @NEBUR1969

    Without the amplification it truly sounds sweet. Maiden is coming on August 15 here to San Antonio. I hope they play this tune. Awesome Job!!

  • @just1raindog
    @just1raindog 11 років тому

    That's how covers make sense for me: a whole new approach that brings a new twist to ann old, familar and loved story. Besides, being a (mostly electric, blues rock) guitarist I am always baffled at the spread of fingers with which you classic / spanish guitarists work. Kudos!

  • @mantistabogan2165
    @mantistabogan2165 8 років тому

    Guitarists like you make me look at the dynamics of the neck; I know you can't do this in standard tuning, you have made me re-look how I play and cover and to consider other options for a certain sound.
    Very nice, this would make Steve Vai himself envious.

    • @265308
      @265308 5 років тому +3

      well the Scorpions discovered that LATIN street guitarist and invited him on stage n even on tour with em so could see Iron maiden picking up this cat as opener especially since he plays with Blaze Bayley(former MAIDEN SINGER!) Bet maiden fans would be wowed.
