Songs you want Maiden to cover.

[Diesel 11]

It's shockingly similar, wow. It works in two completely different ways though, so...

 

[Black Bart]

Bruce has covered Sin City before. I think his voice would fit Rainbow in the Dark quite well (maybe not for the "Dark dark dark dark daaaaark" bit but the "Just a Raaaaaainbooow" certainly sounds imaginable!)

Bruce did it already (from the second verse), apparently in 2000:

 

[Collin]

You could make a bigger case for ‘Spreading the Disease’ and ‘The Tower’ imo.

 

[Black Wizard]

Does not matter, buddy, the mistake is yours.

No mistake made here, pal.

 

[Azas]

Styx 'Castle Walls'
Therion 'Son of the Staves of Time'
Marillion 'Jigsaw'

Out In The Fields with Adrian doing the Phil Lynott's vocal lines and Bruce doing Gary Moore's.

 

[Diesel 11]

Judas Priest's "Painkiller".

 

[Edington]

None of Maiden's guys can play that solo.

 

[Black Wizard]

What a shit thread this is. Just state a song and click "Post Reply". Meaningless Polls anyone?

Exactly.

That's "Now Playing".

Hmmmm... Adrian can sweep pick pretty well. He just chooses not to.

2:48

I bet H might be able to do it.

 

[Edington]

Sounds a lot like the sweeping lick in "Road to Hell", H seems to like that, it comes up a lot. Perhaps he could do it, I just hold Glenn in a higher regard than I do anyone else. I'd actually quite like to hear them break it down into three solos, I'm thinking H - Dave - Jan, that'd be kinda cool.

Sloppy ending, buddy, try again.

 

[Edington]

Well, H and Jan never play after one another, so Jan gets the last one by himself.

That just sounds like tapping, not sweeping. Janick is the only guy I've seen do full sweep-picking in Maiden; not that I watch that many Maiden video compared to some...

It's sweeping. He did it on some shows in 2011. Very similar lick to Road To Hell solo, but faster.

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Okay, give you that. Seems sort of unnecessary though, as he could be doing most of the donkey work with his left hand there. Still don't think it sounds like a sweep in the Maiden example though; which is half the fun of the throwing it in there, is it not?!

This is Janick doing a couple of fairly full sweeps at ~04:35-04:40

True. But I call those Blackmore sweeps... Somewhat sloppy (as was Blackmore with them).

BTW even Davey did one during the ARLO's FOTD

But, those sweeps in Painkiller are not conventional minor sweeps. And H is the best at playing unconventional scales, so I think he is the only one, who could do the job.
