SIT is where Adrian peaks at that repeated lick style of playing. Wasted years, CSIT and ATG are the best examples. His solos were brilliant but the structure very predictable, you would get a melodic phrase then a repeated lick, melodic phrase, repeated lick and so on. His solos nowadays are...

Ghost of the navigator, Brave new world, blood brothers, Out of the silent planet, dance of death, when the wild wind blows, montsegur all contain lead guitar mirroring the vocal melody. I'm sure there are loads more as well

Has anyone noticed over time that all three guitarists (especially Adrian) use less repeating licks and more 'runs' in their solos. Guitarists will know what I mean Shows a lot more creative and technical skill

Anyone else think the guitar melodies after the chorus is the most 'maiden' sounding thing on the album ?

When I say god awful, I mean it's god awful for maiden. The album has enough tracks and I feel these should've been cut. There is no need for filler. All just opinions at the end of the day

There is one part that I feel is repeated too long and its noticeable that it drags on. That's the last time that legacy like riff is being played

The first half of the song is brilliant and has some stunning melodies and lyrics, everything after daves solo though I feel is uninspired, lackluster and boring

I'm a guitarist but didn't really notice it lol, I guess it's only one guitar tuned down though so it's not going to be overpowering

I wish Dave still played solos like he does on this song.

The drop D is far from obviuos though.

The chorus will be VERY difficult for Bruce live

Judas be my guide is certainly not filler, could be the best song on the album. JBMG, ATSS, BQoBD, Childhoods end, FOTD and Wasting love are all golden in my opinion. And there is good stuff about the fugitive, chains of misery, and FHTE. Unfortunately the album has three songs that in my...

These will be really unpopular Post 2000 maiden shits on pre 2000 maiden. If I was to put a random maiden track on, there is an 80%+ chance it would be a newer maiden one. The X factor > Powerslave and Piece of Mind

Too soon but EOTC, TBOS, IESF and TRATB are good candidates

Listening to it again, I agree its Dave. It's just very different to any other of his solos on the album and he's much higher in the mix than he is for his other solos.

Maybe this should've been the first single, not SoL ??? Just take out the intro and outro and it would be the perfect length. It would've hyped up the album much more than SoL But maybe it would've raised expectations too high as its a top 3 song on the They will. I guarantee it Arena goes...

I did think it was unusual that Gers would use a wah lol But from what I can remember it has jannicks rawness and note choice. It felt a bit to rough to be Dave I'll give it another listen when I get home

The first solo in the book of souls is Gers, sounds nothing like Murray. However, I need to listen again as I'm just going on memory

Yes I like to think if this song as Angel and the gambler, RoTAM and SoTC having a threesome

This song was in my top three after the first few listens, now it's dropping off a little bit. It's catchy but its a little bit lackluster in places
