- Sign Of The Cross by Iron Maiden from The X Factor Album - Acoustic / Classical Fingerstyle arrangement by Thomas Zwijsen.
Sign Of The Cross was released in 1995 with Blaze Bayley on vocals. Thomas works frequently with Blaze and performed this song with him live several times. This solo arrangement however aims at playing all the parts - vocals, guitar, bass and drums - at the same time.
Sign Of The Cross was also released on Rock In Rio (live) with Bruce Dickinson on vocals, and is currently part of the "Legacy Of The Beast" tour setlist.
Blaze Bayley is a frequently returning guest on Thomas' Nylon Maiden albums (for instance on The Clansman, Lightning Strikes Twice, Como Estais Amigos and Judgement of Heaven) which are all available at www.ThomasZwijsen.com with worldwide shipping.
Thomas runs an online guitar school with tabs and video lessons at www.KingOfTheStrings.com , where he tells you how to play his most popular arrangements.
Thank you for watching this huge masterpiece of an Iron Maiden song! Described by Nicko as the most complex one they ever made... I hope you enjoy this solo version! I've had the pleasure to play this live many times with my friend and former Iron Maiden singer Blaze Bayley, and I believe this song truly deserves a place amongst the other Maiden classics.

Both the original song and your rendition of it are masterpieces.
What can I say only that. This is epic and classic song and stand same bodium than all maiden master songs
wanna buy the russian holiday album its sold out mi guess :(
One thing That I love about this guy is that he does not discriminate any Maiden era , up the irons
X-Factor is my go to Maiden album. I never get tired of it.
and virtual X dem both classic treusuries! :) wanna hear thomas do KILL & DESTROY .. ;)
You’ve got to do Brighter Than a Thousand Suns! That would be genius!
I always thought of this song as a complete masterpiece of musical understanding and talent. When played in a band of 6 with every single note hit is breathtaking. But to hear the whole thing played on one guitar, with so many of the layers all picked up on a single instrument shows amazing mastery of the guitar and music. When you have listened all manner of versions of this song played by Iron Maiden thousands of times and can pick out every single tone, you understand that to perform this on a single instrument like this is utterly sensational.
Woooow! It emphesizes how amazing and ultimately classic Iron Maiden is. This song will be as Mozart is to us, to the future generations!
I love this album and I'm glad Blaze sang on it. The mood of the album, even down to the artwork suited him perfectly. Sure Bruce is a better singer for Iron maiden, but this is Blaze's album and he desrves the credit for doing an outstanding job. Virtual XI is a different story.... Great job on this Thomas, it's beautiful.
Nice... for me its never a competition I just love the three Di Anno, Blaze and Bruce.. everyone has his own style and contributed very well to Maiden... I dont get the negativity of some people and blaming the artist's work.
I enjoy a lot this music.
@@mutantkoffee Agree. No need to say who was best. All I know is that all three singers contributed so much to the band and I am grateful. I can hear Blaze's impact all the way through to the newer albums and it was a great direction the band went in. The songs are really meaningful to me and I think it's because of the direction that maiden went in after X factor
Sign of the Cross is one of my favorite Maiden songs, and how neat to hear it performed on a nylon stringed guitar! You must feel such satisfaction at being able to learn and play songs like this, as you should, and the rest of us mortals get to enjoy the fruits of your work. Please keep up the great work; I just bought two of your albums and look forward to more!
You are the man. Play when the wild wind blows
thank u Thomas , i closed my eyes and only feel that song
Great work Thomas!
Most underrated album of Maiden. Up the Irons 🤘
Every Iron Maiden arrangement from Thomas is a masterpiece.
Você é o Pelé do violão.
👏👏👏
Sim....esse rapaz é..ótimo !!! Yes .this guy is magnificent ...fine
There are many times I have kneaded bread to this song. I searched for an instrumental version a month ago and found nothing.
Now that the acoustic version has found me, I am eternally grateful. Thank you so much!
Are you serious, Thomas??? How can you ever top this? Amazing tremolo!
In my humble opinion, X-Factor is the best thing Iron Maiden have ever made. So gruesome, dark, atmospheric and conceptual.
I want more stuff from "X-Factor", "Virtual-XI", "Judgement Day", or maybe even "Virus". 🤘🤘🤘
🤝
.........number one..........awesome..............
STANDING ALONE IN THE WIND AND RAIN!!
Thnx for the wonderful song Thomas......
All of your music is in my list for work and road.
I could listen to this guy all day and night. Actually, I have been lately. Bravo my good man!
Awesome, thanks!!
Best song! Best melodic.
Sign of the nylon
Olé the sign of the Cross,you are the best ,come from Spain
Jusqu'à ce que j'écoute Thomas, je ne savais pas s'il était possible de transcrire Sign of the Cross à la guitare sèche en conservant toute la beauté et surtout la riche complexité de ce chef d'oeuvre d'Iron Maiden. Le fait est que oui, il y est arrivé. Et quelle réussite ! OK il y a quelques approximations sur la retranscription du jeu multi instrumental du groupe, et ce n'est pas facile de gérer trois guitares plus la basse de Steve Harris. Mais quel travail ! Félicitations Thomas !
Piel de gallina!!
Amazing version Thomas!
Cheers from Argentina
Wow. . . the intro to this gave me chills. Awesome acoustic rendition of an awesome song!
Very beautiful! 👍👍👍
Fico impressionado com a sua habilidade e destreza com o instrumento....parabéns a vc, que Deus permita que este dom se prolongue por toda vida...Lopes!!!
Today I was listening the original, and yours is way better!
"the fear keeps me moving but my heart beats so slow."
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Silhouettes stand against the sky
One in front with a cross held high
Come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Caught by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubt in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming
Why then is God still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it
Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to God won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise
They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day
And the guilty'll bleed when the moment comes
They'll be coming to claim
Take your soul away
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
They'll be bringing us all immortality
Holding communion so the world be blessed
My creator my God, lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross, yeah
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away
