Hello this is my first post at this forum, after sometime browsing around here I decided to make an account.
Thingfish I have listened to almost all of the Maiden tracks that you have done acoustically there all brilliant, I don’t know how you use just your computer and guitar to make such great covers. Keep up the great work cant wait to hear the next one.

Thanks, Prisoner, I hope you especially liked the cover song with the same name as you!
I suppose it could be thought of as a painstaking process, but I'm used to it now. It's all recorded using a single microphone directly into the Cubase SX3 software so I have to do usually around 15 different tracks per song to get all the instrumentation and vocals down. It takes longer depending on the song, of course. For example, I did 'Fates Warning' the other evening in only a couple of hours, but 'Rime...' took a day

Sorry, mate. I was joking, eh? :-[

Erm... well... yes, 'course I did! :-[
With the increasing popularity of our resident acoustic tribute player, we'll soon have Eddie wearing a Thingfish mask!

If I could be bothered to do a Conor and merge an Eddie picture with the South Park face of Thingfish, then I would. But I won't. I think you get the picture.
That would be something to behold.Maverick said:With the increasing popularity of our resident acoustic tribute player, we'll soon have Eddie wearing a Thingfish mask!

Hehe, great picture, Conor I'll keep that one!
Here's the full size pic of my new avatar. It was created by a guy named Todd who is apparently a friend of someone here on MaidenFans and he emailed it to me out of the blue!
Here's the original Thing-Fish mask from Frank Zappa's surreal faux-Broadway theatre piece :
And finally another link between Zappa and Maiden, Dave and Steve wearing t-shirts referring to lyrics from Zappa's classic song, 'Montana'! ^_^

Thingfish, it might be true that most people love your acoustic guitarwork more than your vocals, but I can definitely mention songs in which I like the vocals as much as the guitars (e.g. Deja-Vu, Fates Warning, 22 Acacia Avenue, Hallowed), The combination also works. Bruce is more theatrical, but an acoustic guitar doesn't need as much theatrics imo.
Also you are very ON key and harmonies work very well !
Keep going, man
BTW: Just heard Genghis Khan and I love the echoes !

Overall his guitar playing, IMO, is superb - but his vocals are good. It does make the whole package enjoyable.
For sure his vocal harmonies are done so well in a few of his tracks.Forostar said:

You both flatter me I'm glad to hear that some people like the vocals and aren't asking for versions of the songs with the voices removed!!
As a reward, have a listen to my latest effort...a special request by both SilentLucidity and another chap from a different Maiden bulletin board...
'Charlotte The Harlot'!!!
