Kinda like johnny cash doing 'hurt'
this is what makes bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden so great, they are actually classically trained and super talented musicians.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
I watched the other day ...never realized what a good song it was. I got off the maiden train around powerslave so I missed it.
Good one. Two Minutes to Midnight is my top choice.
I thought somewhere in time, and 7th son albums were also really good, but those are the last ones I have.
the artwork on the Somewhere in Time album cover was great.
Thanks for the link. What an amazing rendition.
Ryan Adams does cool cover of this as well.
Weird, I just watched this today as well. Great acoustic version of the song.
I got off the maiden train the album or 2 after Powerslave and this was one of the last songs I remember before the band had Jannick Gerz in place of Adrian Smith.
Superb; have to admit I’m partial to The Prisoner and Back in the Village for ‘a number’ of reasons. Questions are a burden, and answers a prison for 1self...
Bttt bookmark
Up the irons!
Freegards
as an example of classical Metallica

and yes I could play this, all four tracks
Yeah they are good albums I agree. I guess I momentarily got too old for them at 22. The first 2 are still my favoritem.
i am quite fond of the songs dance of the dead and paschendale.
there are decent, or even very good, songs on the following 2 records but the sharp edge/originality seemed dulled.
no matter how good their first 5 records were (really good), I remain convinced Derek Riggs was a key part of their getting traction early on.
obligatory mention - I only bought balls to picasso once bruce left, and wrote off his solo work and paid no more attention to it in the 90’s.. very big misjudgment, 20 yrs later I discover Chemical Wedding and Accident of Birth. IMO the best heavy metal LP’s by a ‘big name’ no one has ever heard of.
Very nice. Fan of IM for, well, a very long time. Like to crank them up on occasion, annoys the wife.
“Chemical Wedding and Accident of Birth”
just checked these out, thanks!
