“Prodigal Son” off Killers too. And “Strange World” off the debut. Both similar songs to this one, with extensive acoustic/soft parts. Adrian says “Prodigal” is one of his favorites, though they’ve never played it live. Cheers.
It definitely inspired the Swedish Melodic Death Metal bands of the 90's, such as In Flames. The acoustic outro sounds exactly like how some swedish band would end one of their songs.
He doesn’t do it very often, but when Dave writes something it’s usually a banger. Bravo. Those bends at the beginning of the solo deserve a silly amount of likes just on their own!
For me, there is something so magical about where this song is positioned on the album. That side starts with SSoaSS and is followed by this. Then as you’re wishing that beautiful outro would never end, it leads into another one of my faves, The Clairvoyant. I don’t know how to explain it, but that’s how my mind got used to hearing The Prophecy. Isolated like this, its beauty is magnified a million times! Just a stunning song, so different from anything else I’ve ever heard from Maiden. You did such a stunning job capturing the magical beauty that makes this song so unique. It’s so beautiful, with a layer of eeriness that runs through it. Just breathtaking! Congratulations on capturing ALL of that!! 🎸🤘😊
You know what I love about your comments? They're always so encouraging and you always know how to eloquently express how their music is perceived and enjoyed by a fan. Thank you!!!
@@LicksOfTheBeast Likewise, thank you for all of the hard work, dedication, and thought that go into each one of these videos.

Nico absolutely nailing the cover of a criminally underplayed classic is one of those things in life that you can rely on. More pure gold from the best Maiden content creator on earth.
1000 thanks!!! I am mainly tyring to balance the different kinds of videos ( covers, tutorials, breakdowns, guitar stuff...), different eras of the band and different kinds of songs. Glad to know this one was a good watch! ☺
I love looking at the album cover while listening to the intro of this track and just admiring the beauty and masterful work that was accomplished. The intro captures the entire mood of the album in such a magical way.
Nico, I can’t put in words how grateful I am for you to have chosen Prophecy. It’s one of my favorite Maiden songs ever. Thank you so very much indeed 👏👏👏👏
Thank's for this - awesome! If i remember correctly from some interview, Dave wrote that beautiful acoustic outro when he was in Australia having time off from "Maiden circus". Propably in the beach watching the sea and beautiful landscape along with acoustic guitar in his hands.
An awesome cover and a great song! So many different ”colors” in this song due to various melodies, harmonies, rythyms and changes in the athmosphere. Very very mystical sound! So glad to hear this cover - you nailed it once again with your talent, heart and soul🔮🕯✨
Great play through - this has always been my favourite Maiden song. So underrated for sure - when it kicks in its like a guitar orchestra. And that wonderful almost baroque outro is hauntingly sublime.
Yes!! Called for this song some uploads ago!! Always liked this song and it's structure and melodies. I think it was written on "somewhere it time" period (which is the same). Also looking at the comments, everyone was excited for this song!
What a joy to watch, excellent playing as always, but what makes your videos so great is that it is easy to see how much you enjoy playing Maiden-tunes ! As someone commented earlier, truly a underrated tune from the album, what a great song this is ! Thank you
just to know, i have fever from corona virus rigt now, and this video made me crying man! I dont know why... Its so lovely played, those solos that ending... everything. Greetings from Greece. Iron Maiden for ever
Efharistó polí file mou! Really appreciate that so much and I am honoured to have been able to help bring some strong feelings at a time when you might have needed it. Cheers! 🤜🤛
One of the best songs from my favourite Maiden album. I've discovered their music when in the early nineties, a friend gave me an old cassette of SSOASS. It changed my life. I've listened to this song one million times at least! 😀 However, as always, your version makes me discover little subtleties and I love this title even more if possible 😁! And that outro... Wow!!! So thanks Nico and up the irons 🤘😀🤘!
Oh I understand you completely! I used to fall asleep with my SSOASS cassette back when it was their latest album 😄 Glad I could help shed some light on a few little subtleties!
Many thanks Nico I was expecting this, greatly executed as always.This song is the definition of beauty, the reason why Maiden are my all-time faves. That dreamy outro can be played endlessly, it is the culmination for me of all melody and beauty combined. Dave composes little but when he does he rewards us with great melodies and songs.
One of your most immersive covers to date and as close to the studio version as anyone is humanly likely to get. Absolutely bang on if you close your eyes no one could tell that it wasn't Dave murray or Adrian smith playing.👍
No one in the internet does best maiden covers than you! It’s always a pleasure as a guitarist and a maiden fan to watch all of your videos! Keep going! You are amazing!
Fantastic as always! Maiden will be in the US and Canada again soon, so excited! It feels like a million years ago that I saw them in Nashville in 2019! Up the Irons! 🤘
Awesome !!! you did an amazing job with this song, the outro is my favorite from all of Maiden's songs. The first time a hear it I was speechless because I never thought Iron Maiden will do an outro like that. Thanks for the video.
Just perfect, can't say anything else, keep the love you transmit always for the band in your playing, just love this, keep doing this please, it's just amazing.
Thank you! I actually didn't put a lot of time into the sound at all. Just went with something that sounded good, put a little chorus on it and that was that 😃
Absolutely nailed this one! Knocked it out of the park brother! 👏 One of my favourite Maiden deep cuts and my favourite from SSOASS. I've always loved that harmony before the solo. It reminds me of greensleeves and of course that outro. Arguably Maiden's best outro ever. I've been anticipating you doing this one and you did it justice and didn't disappoint. Great stuff Nico! 👍
I always loved the part on Yngwie's Live In Lenningrad album where he jams greensleeves in the middle of You Don't Remember I'll Never Forget. Greensleeves sounds great rocked up! 😆 I was super excited to see you'd done this one. This along with Judas Be My Guide are probably my favourite Maiden deep cuts of all time. I'd like to see you tackle that one sometime too! That is if you haven't already and I've just missed it.
just a very beautiful song, solo and melodies. As has been said this song in the position on the album is way too perfect but it fits just right. Yet again well done Nico.
I love Maiden and all their classics that they play live but this are the kind of tracks that makes Maiden be Maiden, this ones should be played live in my opinion.
The acoustic outro has always given me and still gives me goosebumps 30 years later. Just fantastic !
It inspired the Swedish Melodic Death Metal bands of the 90's.
I think this is their most underrated song. Understandable because it’s after a masterpiece of a track - SSOASS. Amazing playing as always 😀
One of my favorit!
“Prodigal Son” off Killers too. And “Strange World” off the debut. Both similar songs to this one, with extensive acoustic/soft parts. Adrian says “Prodigal” is one of his favorites, though they’ve never played it live. Cheers.

The acoustic at the end is one of the best things written by Maiden
He doesn’t do it very often, but when Dave writes something it’s usually a banger.
Bravo. Those bends at the beginning of the solo deserve a silly amount of likes just on their own!
This track is definitely Dave Murray's best composition. The cover is also equally excellent.
Thanks so much!!
no sabia que la hizo murray😊
Can we all just appreciate that image of SRV with Adrian in the middle of all the Maiden decor? This man clearly has his idols lined up correctly.

I adore this whole album
One of their best songs and so underrated
I love looking at the album cover while listening to the intro of this track and just admiring the beauty and masterful work that was accomplished. The intro captures the entire mood of the album in such a magical way.
It really does!!
One of the harmonically richest Maiden song! Great playing!

Interesting! I hadn't heard that. Thanks for the little tidbit!! 😃
Thanks Dave for this masterpiece!
Up the Irons!
A phenomenal solo with the greatest ascending ending ever.
I've been waiting for this gem for so long, this is my second favourite song after Infinitive dreams of SSOSS.
An awesome cover and a great song! So many different ”colors” in this song due to various melodies, harmonies, rythyms and changes in the athmosphere. Very very mystical sound! So glad to hear this cover - you nailed it once again with your talent, heart and soul🔮🕯✨
Kiitos, my friend! 🙏🤘
@@LicksOfTheBeast Kiitos 🤘
This album, this song, takes you to some awesome places. Thank you so much for this playthrough!
What a wonderful song. Another Dave Murray little jewel. A lot of 'motion' throughout the track. Congratulations Nico!
This is just beautiful. Well done, Nico. This song is a masterpiece. 🤘❤️
Finally the world gets to see this song being performed live. Grazzie mille
Great play through - this has always been my favourite Maiden song. So underrated for sure - when it kicks in its like a guitar orchestra. And that wonderful almost baroque outro is hauntingly sublime.
INCREDIBLE. I always listen to the album in full and this is one of the highlights no one talks about. Well done!
Yeah!!! What an album! So bleak, desperate, melancholic, epic!
Yes!! Called for this song some uploads ago!! Always liked this song and it's structure and melodies. I think it was written on "somewhere it time" period (which is the same). Also looking at the comments, everyone was excited for this song!

Another great song and another great high quality video! Now all we need, when you have time, is the lesson! Good work!

I love this song. The intro is 🔥

One of the best Iron maiden song and your one of the best on UA-cam
You've done great (!!!) justice by one of my all-time personal Maiden favorites.
This was always one of my favourites from Seventh Son - an unusual track from Maiden full of emotional melodies
The summer of '88 was a great time and this album was in heavy rotation, good times. Also, excellent performance, riveting. Cheers!
And the can I play with madness video on rotation...that was such a fun video too! 😃 Good times indeed!
Made the solo look like a piece of art 🤘
Thanks so much!!
When Dave Murray wrote the song you know is something big!!!
Esence of IM...
I absolutely love this song. Such at treat at that latter stage of the album..
Three guitars needed here, great song.
Awesome! One of my favorite songs all time!!!!!
Watching this made me realized how harder the tabs out ther make it to be or the way I played some parts :D Good work again Nicko.
One of your most immersive covers to date and as close to the studio version as anyone is humanly likely to get. Absolutely bang on if you close your eyes no one could tell that it wasn't Dave murray or Adrian smith playing.👍
I don't know what to say other than MASSIVE THANKS!!!
No one in the internet does best maiden covers than you! It’s always a pleasure as a guitarist and a maiden fan to watch all of your videos! Keep going! You are amazing!
Thanks so much, man!!
That's super nice of you to say 🙏
An awesome job. A truly hidden gem and incredible song.
Total perfection...as always.
So kind of you. Thank you!!
Thanks for showing love for this song! It's a shame Maiden never played it live.
The outro is a masterpiece.
This is one of those IM classics that goes under the radar but damn, it's a hell of a song. Thx, Nico!
Fantastic as always! Maiden will be in the US and Canada again soon, so excited! It feels like a million years ago that I saw them in Nashville in 2019! Up the Irons! 🤘
Can't wait!!!!
Nico, thanks! Absolutely Killer! Like the cue at 1:55 signaling the high harmony. Dig the tee.
Great! One of my favorite songs from one my favorite albums!
Awesome !!! you did an amazing job with this song, the outro is my favorite from all of Maiden's songs. The first time a hear it I was speechless because I never thought Iron Maiden will do an outro like that. Thanks for the video.

One of my favourite Maiden songs! You killed it!!!! Amazing as always, Nico, you rock
Magnificent! This song is structured as a classical opera and Bruce is the tenor. Never seen this level of precision, you're a star!!!
That's super nice of you to say. Thank you so much!!!
You nailed it again and you really got that typical sound from the Seventh Son album as well, awesome!
Thank you! I actually didn't put a lot of time into the sound at all. Just went with something that sounded good, put a little chorus on it and that was that 😃
masterpiece never played in live
Excelente, amigo.... saludos desde Argentina!!!
Maiden at their best....best guitar tone,best vocals and in my opinion best album
100% agree. There is nothing quite like Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Most excellet sir, one of my favorites
Great song from my favorite album ever! Perfect execution Nico, thank you!
What a tour de force rendition!! 🥳👍🙏
questo è un pezzone devastante... ottima scelta.
e come sempre stupendo lavoro.
Ti ringrazio di cuore!! 🙏
Absolutely love this song, love the tempo changes in it, the one at 02:46 being my stand out. And the outro has always been a favourite of mine.
The ending, dude! Yeah! \m/
Amazing!!! What a great song one of my favorites from SSOASS
Excellent work as always, Nico. Cheers!
Phenomenal. Great work. This song is full of killer guitar work. Love the outro - such a beautiful piece of music.
Absolutely incredible as always.
so good man, love that outro
Amazing cover note perfect 🤘
"WOW...VERY GOOD GUYS" 🎸🤘🤘👍👍
Hidden gem on a top 3 Maiden album. Class as always Nico🤘🏼
Really glad you bought that guitar for the outro :) great job Nicko. You always deliver!
Me too! Too bad I have to give it back now😄
@@LicksOfTheBeast - Oh man, I think you need that one in your guitarsenal! It suits you well.

Bravo 👌🏻

Fantastic!
Congrats from Chile 🇨🇱 mate
Comporre un outro così è geniale... proprio come per Heaven and Hell. Top
Infatti l'influenza ci sarà stata, anche indirettamente... 🙂
@@LicksOfTheBeast allora ci vuole una cover di Heaven and Hell 😄
Love this song. Well done!🤘🏽
That is a f&cking great cover !
just a very beautiful song, solo and melodies. As has been said this song in the position on the album is way too perfect but it fits just right. Yet again well done Nico.
Thank you!
Seventh Son isone of those albums that I don't think could be realistically improved upon. Down to the running order of the songs 😊
I love Maiden and all their classics that they play live but this are the kind of tracks that makes Maiden be Maiden, this ones should be played live in my opinion.
Nico one more song performed with excellence. Incredible, as always
1000 thanks!
