New Single - The Writing on the Wall

I think it is dave without his trademark legato filled sections. He also chose a very similar tone to H, i think. This one is a tricky one
 
I have problem with vocal mix, but maybe its YouTube thing - but after BoS im afraid that vocals will be again 'muddy'. Song is different from what I've expected but in a good way. I love the melody!
Listen to it on Spotify.
 
I hear you mate and can so relate to your post.
Me too, felt strange really when the song started, total chills and felt so different but good and all positive vibes to me.
I've now heard the song like 10 times or so, this is so fucking good one and I can't even dream what the rest album will be.
Glad to witness this with my fellow Maidenfans here. Thank you all, we are indeed Blood Brothers!

Definitely! I'm so paralyzed by all this...
I can't even find the words...

This song, this sound is from another planet...
It's another level. Another kind of sport.

I knew it since June 28th.
This would have been special.
I would have NEVER thought THIS special, though.

Best guitars I've heard in AGES.
 
I'm predicting right now that this is the track that is the laid back softer tune that sits in between two heavier tracks or even epics. When Speed of Light came out, nobody thought they would get a 90 minute plus mammoth. And when The Final Frontier single was released, nobody expected the weird, layered mid sections of the second half. It always seems like the first single of their post reunion albums are the small appetizers before the tremendous main course. If that is the case here, we are in for some kind of treat because this blows away Speed of Light, Different World, Widest Dreams and has much more going on than The Wicker Man. I think I'm going to shit my pants.
Being an old southern fella, I’m really digging the “bluesy vibe”. I mean Maiden is Maiden, and the intro was a good bit different than the straight ahead go get em from the start kinda song.
I totally agree that it’s better than the above songs with the exception of Wicker Man. And right now after a few listens i think it’s just as good as WM.
 
4:32-4:42...

This is pure gutar porn by Ade. That perfect descending line and then the slow sweeps as in Omega...

And that Gilmourish bend at 4:51... Just perfect. (Now we know why he was jamming on Comfortably Numb track before recording this).

Also at the very end, it seems that it's both Adrian and Janick soloing under the vocals.
 
If they are making a big deal of the Eddie, you'ld have to guess he appears in more places than just this video.

I'm not mad about the teeth, a bit racist if you ask me.
