Great !!
Love it.. ! Both atmosphere of the vocals and quality of the solos are AMAZING! I think these solos and rhythm guitars underneath might be your best effort !
Small detail: I love the 2.37/2.38 part. The stuff you do with the rhythm guitars. Cool acoustic-guitars-go-metal "effect"!

Indeed, but I tend to go a step further. I'd say there is only one maximum five letter word that can describe this version. It's 'wow'. You are the maidencovers Da Vinci. Consider it the ultimate compliment from me, since I'm not very interested in art, and I only know Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Monet, Michenangelo, Picasso and Van Gogh.
The vocal performance is your second best, after my Thingfish alltime favourite 'JoH'. And I wonder, is it just me, or does someone else recognize Paul in Thingfish's voice? It's like you are almost a new Paul, but of course a quite nicer person. Just outstanding. But it's not better than the original, I'd say it's a tie, but that's quite a high praise. Now, I'm going to grade your version. I assure you, this is not the freshness speaking as it were when I graded The Reincarnation of Benamin Breeg (The original, not your cover). I'll give your version of 'Remember Tomorrow' 9,5/10.
Cheers and have a praise.
Edit: Thingfish, what about the little project with my extremely mediocre lyrics ^_^?

You all flatter me too much, but I thank you all the same! ^_^ Good to hear that you're enjoying my work still! I guess you can hear some Paul in my voice in 'Remember Tomorrow' because at sections I do a Di'Anno impression, like the very last singing note at 5:19. That is a Di'Anno-ism!
Forostar : I think what you're talking about is the quick muted riffing down the strings just before going into a new section. Yes, I do that quite often...
Yax : As I mentioned, we may move on to a project like that after this Maiden one! :wacko:
As a reward for all your praise, I've just added another beauty in quick succession...
'Rainmaker'!!!

'Ben Breeg' still hasn't been posted on the NotB site...

Rainmaker was the last track I got into from Dance of Death - I initially found it a bit to "poppy", for want of a better word. It wasn't until I watched the video that the song grabbed me and I can only surmise that the video, been one of their best efforts in my opinion, took the song to a new dimension for me. It now stands as one of my favourite tracks on that album.
Thingfish, once again an excellent effort - well done. I would offer a praise, but although you can post many songs here at any time, I can only praise you once a day.

Yep, the owner of the site is scared he'll incur the wrath of Maiden if he puts my version up there before it is officially release...
Albie : Curses, I forgot I couldn't get a double praise! I'll know now not to post more than one song a day, even if I have them ready!! :wacko: :wacko:

No, I have deleted all the Cubase files for every song up til the latest one due to the sheer quantity of memory such sound files take up, and I'm not going to start instrumental versions now. You'll need to just sing along with my vocals.

Use that to restore your deleted files.
If you want I can give you the fully functional app, just send me a pm.
I did something for you, you do something for me, I did the album cover without the watermark and you wanted that XD.
Is not that you sing bad, it's just that you need a little more training in that particular area.

Re: Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new track added : 30/07/06)
Excuse you, part of Thingfish's "charm", you could call it, is that his songs aren't perfect, the vocals aren't exact, and this shows his dedication to the band by recreating their songs in his own manner, adding his own touches that make the songs better than countless cover versions that are out there. Thingfish's songs have emotion in them (Como Estais Amigos, No Prayer For The Dying to name two of many) that almost every other cover I've heard lacks. This isn't some big band using the latest equipment to record it, it is a guy using his computer at home, in his free time to bring enjoyment to others. I'm sorry if this comes across as an attack on you morgue, I don't mean it to sound like that, but in the future think of all the work that Thingfish does on these tracks so people like you and me can enjoy it. You make it sound like Thingfish owes you something for you doing the watermark, where I feel that everyone that listens to Thingfish's music owes him for allowing us to.morgue said:

[sup]1[/sup]If one Cubase file takes up n bytes of space and Thingfish has only 2n bytes of free space, he will overwrite this allocation time and time again - hypothetically speaking.
Very well put, Hunlord. I would like to add more, but you've said it all here.Hunlord said:
Yes, files that did exist on your HD will still be recoverable - but, once that deleted files allocation has been overwritten and the FAT is updated, it will be no longer available. Defragging or extensive use of the HD[sup]1[/sup] will reallocate the space used by deleted files.morgue said:
