Normally the lowest note on the guitar is an E2 but drop D tuning is where you tune the low E to a D instead. So it basically allows you to sound a little bit lower and maybe "heavier"

I'm talking about studio recordings. Listen to solos such as brave new world, rainmaker. The final frontier, from here to eternity, run to the hills, fear of the dark, powerslave. No way are those solos improvised, they have clear structure and he went in knowing what he was going to play. Some...

Nothing insane about that in my opinion.

There is a guy on this forum who rates the x factor as maidens best album, can't remember who it is though ...

Most of daves solos nowadays sound improvised. Don't know if they are or not but some do sound it. It isn't a problem in it self but it could be why some of them lack confidence to my ears. I am starting to enjoy his ToAC solo a bit more now. I think it's his tone that is bugging me

I'll give the song a few spins today, maybe the solo will grow on me but at the moment I'm not digging it. It does need to be higher in the mix though

They are not wacko interpretations at all. I just feel that daves solos on this album generally lacked a bit of aggression and imagination. He does try something a bit different on ToAC but in my opinion it doesn't work that well. His playing on man of sorrows is brilliant and he plays a good...

He's been off since brave new world in my opinion. Still plays the occasional great solo though.

Posted this is the ToAC thread but non-musicians might not understand what I'm getting at... Daves solo is shockingly bad on this one. I can sort of hear what he's trying to do, it sounds like he's trying to be the play the polar opposite of Adrians solo. Adrians is very loud, in your face and...

The question is, how will he handle these songs live ? The BoS chorus is particularly difficult and the verses in TRATB are very fast but also high

Daves solo is shockingly bad on this one. I can sort of hear what he's trying to do, it sounds like he's trying to be the play the polar opposite of Adrians solo. Adrians is very loud, in your face and aggressive with a heavily processed tone. Daves is quiet, timid, and his tone is very dry...

For me, X factor is a lot, lot better than Virtual XI. The songs are a lot deeper, you can tell Steve was in a bad place when writing it.

I really don't like the bland singing on the verse of mother of mercy, the alchemist, el Dorado, isle of avalon, the man who would be king and the 2nd half of wild wind

Kept it chronological for simplicity lol 1. Phantom of the Opera 2. Killers 3. Hallowed be thy name 4. Revelations 5. Rime of the ancient mariner 6. Wasted years 7. The evil that men do 8. No prayer for the dying 9. Judas be my guide 10. 2am (this song really connects with me) 11. The...

The thing that shocked me most about this album was how strong Bruce's voice is. It's been 5 years since the final frontier and I was honestly expecting his voice to decline slightly and thought they would write more melodies in a lower register, but the opposite is true. In my opinion Bruce...

Does it go from c minor to f# minor ? Haven't worked it out but know the intro is in c minor which is sort of interesting as maiden haven't wrote anything in this key before.

The IESF chorus is more massive imo

Como estais amigo The clansman Lightning strikes twice The educated fool Futureal These songs are actually pretty good, especially CEA and the clansman

When I first heard it I thought, that's very simple but beautiful, why haven't I wrote that on the guitar. Then I played it on guitar and its loses its feel. Note choice and phrasing is a bit too plain

If eternity should fail Speed of light Wrathchild Book of Souls The trooper The red and the black Brave new world Coming home Wasted years Fear of the dark Hallowed be thy name Aces high The evil that men do Iron maiden Can see it being something like this
