    My first Maiden concert, Killers tour, I grabbed the fence, front row right in front of me all gig long Adrian was there just feet from me. Between songs I yelled "Alright Adrian" and he acknowledged me with a look up and a nod of his head. Ever since then he was my favorite player in Maiden. Then when NOTB came out and I saw he had writing credits and The Prisoner was his main contribution on the album and it kicked ass I have been a fan of his writing ever since. So every song on a Maiden album that Adrian contributes is special in my eyes and especially in my ears. Cheers Nico! Up The Irons!

    Hello Nicko, great video as always!
    I like that You pay attention to blues influences (bluesy chorus was hillarious : ))
    Also there is something magical when Adrian ends his solo on note lower note than You would expect (same thing in his solo for 'heaven can wait').
    I have some ideas for videos, maybe You would find them cool ; )
    1. Songs where originally were 2 guitar parts/harmonies but amigos (mostly Adrian) make them 3 guitar parts (like 'trooper', 'phantom')
    And similar:
    2. Songs with 3 (or more like 'flash of the blade') guitars parts originally but they can play them fully with current line-up (like seventh son)
    3. Songs with 2 guitar harmonies which they still play this way (or never played before but would sound awesome) but would be interesting with adding different 3rd guitar part (like 'iron maiden')
    4. Parts with additional part in original but they don't play it that way for some reason (like the very end of 'the evil that man do' solo).
    I know that's a lot but I believe You will find some of those ideas interesting : D
    I admire Your work. Keep rockin' !

    Congratulations, a very nice job of knowing how the songs are composed and the purpose of each arrangement.
    This LP is perhaps one of Maiden's best and most forgotten, only relegated to a single song, Wasted Years.
    In my humble opinion, it's a live LP from start to finish.
    Thank you so much.

    The video makes my brain bleed. When I learn a song to record it, I end up eventually hating the song because of the weeks and months of listening and playing to it 100s of times. But this. This! This is like a surgeon pulling apart nuances even the band probably doesn’t remember. Nico can probably tell what color of pick Adrian was using, what shoes Steve was wearing in the studio.
    This is nonetheless another great, maddeningly detailed, inspiring video as always, LITB.
    But I will say this. You get yourself one of those blue Fender Steve signature basses they had out maybe 10-15 years ago. We won’t let this oversight slide forever ;D

    • @LicksOfTheBeast
      @LicksOfTheBeast  Рік тому

      Hahaha well I tend to obsess over this band a fair bit. But I also take a closer look at the songs when I'm prepping for a video like this so I do study them a little more in depth first. It's definitely a lot of work!
      Now for the bass... I'm actually really happy with this Classic Vibe! Especially the neck and the looks with the walnut finish and thick fret markers... It looks so '70s, which I love! And it's inspiring me to practice a bit every day. Perhaps once I can play the parts like Steve, I might consider getting one of his signatures too 😉
      Cheers my friend! 🤜🤛

      Make sure you downpick the first note (1st string 12th fret), the 3rd string 14th fret and the one with the bend. The others should be upstrokes. Work on that slowly until it feels good and after that it should go a lot smoother 🙂

    Adrian Smith is sensational. I was always a Maiden fan until about 1990 when he left as Steve Harris made the decision to go with a more "street" sound. That was a huge mistake - they had nailed a formidable style of song writing and guitar solos as you so eloquently explain. The solo in this song always stood out to me more than any other of Maiden's with the exception of the Powerslave solo at the 3 minute mark. Finally got over my grief after 33 years later and will seem live in the pit at Power Trip, CA, in October.

      And for the record, I don't think it's "wrong" to play a riff how you hear it, or how you like playing it. I will use the term "wrong"in video titles occasionally because it's an attention-grabbing term but really, people develop entire styles by learning things incorrectly, and there is value in that! It's just fun to pick apart the details and subtleties as fans of the original music 🙂 Cheers!

      Oh yeah the jump from Powerlave to SIT was as dramatic as the one from NOTB to Piece of Mind, if not more!
      It's absolutely crazy that all this happened over a period of only 4 years!

    This album, Brave New World and Seventh Son are my absolute favs. The Alexander The Great song man, solos for days :D

    I think Adrian's solo in this is the best solo of all time. The Legacy from Testament is close, but they're similar. One phrase ends the mellow part while the song builds, then a similar riff ends the heavier part. Love that stuff.

    `My tooth hurts´ - Stranger in a strange land 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, and I love the unexpected Rolling Stones´ touch. Wonderful detailed anaylisis Nico, I have learned a lot from this song, it has not the typical Maiden playing and structure is known for, Adrian adds that different special flavour that complements the band´s sound.

    Hey Nicko, great stuff, is that the sdx version that you put the duncan JB bridge humbucker, it sounds killer.

    Love this song, love this video, love your explanations, it's just like reviving again and again.
    One question: in the video you mention this is one of the few songs ending in 'fade out'. But, is there any other? I thought it was the very only one.

    Dear Nico, just discovered your videos. They are an excellent addition to the step-by-step tab videos out there. And it think you masterfully nailed the exact playing! Compliments.
    QUESTION: what setup and sound settings did you use?
