[@ericksod1]

All the Maiden classics and Isle of Avalon was spot on....way to go!!! Great Job !!

[@TheRaghavachari]

Incredible. I have not heard anyone cover Maiden quite like this or quite as good. Magnificent. Thank you.

[@cristiancontrario]

Standing ovation from Italy! Great stuff and awesome performance! There's nothing to do... Iron always wins. This is why their songs have solid melodic and harmonic bases, so they can be well reproposed in classical and symphonic keys. Iron Maiden's gonna get ya ;-) Up the Irons!

[@RobertMauro]

Salvatore Corso me too. Without lyrics or Bruce's voice to portray the mood, they did an amazing job with the music of creating the same mood. Nice, tcrist56

[@tcrist56]

Thanks Milan!

[@iMadrid11]

Ever since I had classical guitar lessons as kid. I’ve always thought heavy metal music like Iron Maiden is just like classical music but with loud guitars.

[@alnunes83]

Amazing!! Up the Irons!! Congrats to everyone involved!! Cheers from Brazil!

[@majidslyteen6231]

So understand.. Don't waste your time always searching for those Wasted Years..

[@StushPothong]

Every once in a while I revisit this absolutely beautiful performance for my world to make sense again :) the emotional content of these arrangements, so exquisitely displayed here, is exactly what lovers of metal have long said about metal music in general.

[@patriceouellet7929]

[@AlvaradoGuitar]

I love this! Is this arrangement available for purchase?
