    I love in the Maiden England version how at the end of his solo Adrian holds the note while Dave comes back in with the melody harmony. Adrian sits out the first bar and then comes back in to play the harmony and what a difference it makes.

      I'm glad somebody else noticed that. I think it's a more punchy return to that riff, really makes you think "ooh yeah, they should have played it like that on the studio release!" at 4:57 of that track for anybody else that wants to hear it.

      The album covers of Maiden are the best when you spread them and you see the whole artwork, just fascinating.
      It is intriguing to me, the back of this album with those frozen figures of the previous albums. Could that be a hidden message for Adrian leaving the band after Seventh Son? I don't remmember hearing rumors back in the day.
      This is my favorite album to relax and listen to on Sundays afternoon, I believe is a combination of Infinite Dreams and the last day of the week to come back to work the next day, kind of happy/melancholic harmonies.
      You got some great videos though man!!

    A very unique song for maiden.Did dave write a lot of these licks? since he is a big Hendrix fan and those licks have a very strong Henrixy vibe in them.

      Oh I have no doubt Dave wrote his own licks... what he plays on that first section is VERY Hendrix inspired 🙂

    Hey, Nico! You should do a collab with Raphael Mendes from Brazil. He's basically Bruce Dickinson!!! I would love a video of you two together :)

      I don't really do collabs on covers but I would probably make an exception for something like that! The guy is a phenomenal singer 🤘
