New single: Stratego

[dickinson1978]

Stratego: great song,better than great unknown,mother of mercy some brave new world feelings, writing on the wall,great song too,different. what i like its that the guys have some cool and different ideas, book of souls was a bit of lack of ideas. I expect a good album,different and fresh like brave new world in 2000 and a bit dark like AMOLAD in 2005 or 2006.

He also calls Janick "Jers"

He is most certainly not mine.

Nicko is great, I can't believe I just found out about his channel a month ago. Does he have a user here?

I was also wondering if he was here on the forum, he is a very nice person and an excellent guitarist

I don't think so. Usually the people who have channels they usually promote them one way or another in forums.

It's me, I'm Nicko.

Have been doing a guitar cover of Stratego for the last couple of hours. Have everything apart from the solo done but going to do that a different time.
It really is a great song. Such a great groove and vibe.
Initially I didn't like the lead over the verse however it has really grown on me and it adds to the song.
Top notch Maiden!

It is a bit of a joke. Everyone who listens to the songs in my car, Maiden fans or not, have the same initial reaction. "What is wrong with the sound?!!!"

You know what, I thought the same, until today, I realized (being quite new to Spotify), that they "helpfully" turned on "optimize sound for 30-60 years old" (I'm 45 and they know it), which apparently made some kind of distortion in highs/hi mids. I turned off all the equilizers and advanced options, and suddenly everything started sounding better and more natural.
I'm not trusting any source anymore, until I stick the CD into the player

This guys sounds like he knows what he is talking about!!

Doug Helvering premiering a Stratego reaction video in about an hour!

Stratego might have been one of my all-time favorite singles if Adrian or Dave played the solo.

 

[jazz from hell]

Cool, he just made me change my mind about the song.

Just saw the video clip premiere now... really cool

Spoiler: not quite a spoiler but...

(with a cool twist at the end)

Saw it few hours ago and I don't like it. I really prefer the video of TWOTW, much more "Maiden".

 

[LooseCannon]

What is the complaint here? It's not Iron Maiden enough? Senjutsu in Japanese script is right there. Eddie is in the fucking heavy armour from the beginning.

Like Christ on a cracker folks. Are you that weak of Maidenfans that you can't see what's going on here?

I liked it, but TWOTW is a better video (as expected, given the time and money put into it).

 

[Brigantium]

Nice animation. I'm glad I didn't see the video before I heard the song, though, it would have given me a completely different impression of it. Still prefer The Writing vid. But cool to see Maiden music paired up with quality animation, it's a natural match, really.

 

[Mosh]

The video is fine, I would be interested in seeing Maiden do something feature length with their music.

 

[Brigantium]

Their entire back catalogue animated

Yup... though I liked Stratego's clip and I consider its aesthetics a bit more appealing the overall package and concept of TWOTW makes me like it more.
