Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

[adrian fn rules]

This one was easy. Powerslave. This solo is so great and is such an important and integral part of the song. So much for epic matchups, but I'm not complaining about not having to make a gut-wrenching decision either.

For those of you who voted for The Wickerman, SHAME ON YOU.

 

[Edu_Smith]

Wicker Man is Wonderfull but...Powerslave is magnific.

 

[Deus_Adrian]

Yes.
Both the solo and the song.

Better than Powerslave?

This IS the Iron Maiden forum right?

Actually I love both songs but Powerslave is more memorable. Wicked Man is a sentimental favorite because it screams Welcome Back Adrian.

 

[mckindog]

The one with the sand between the toes.
I'm surprised there is such a large mismatch this late in the game.

 

[The Flash]

I like the Wicker Man solo a lot. But this is Powerslave by a country mile.

 

[Lampwick 43]

The fact that this isn't unanimous blows my mind. It's the greatest Maiden solo vs a decent smith solo.

There's no decision to be made.

You are so right about the "welcome back Adrian" aspect

Yep. I realise how unpopular that view is - but if we all think the same things, what's the point in having a discussion forum?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I guess noone is surprised to see me vote for Powerslave here.

 

[Deus_Adrian]

And btw I was talking about the solo and not the song. Actually my favorite part of the solo is the bit after the main solo. The rhythm part not included in his contest.

 

[Edu_Smith]

End ?????

 

[mirtilo]

End ?????

Yes. Nicko McBrain Virus guitar solo was the winner.

 

[frus]

Next battle won't start right after this one ends. There'll be a three or four days delay.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Foro has told me privately that he's not happy with how the game is playing out & it might not be continuing.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

If you're not trolling, Cried, then this whole thing will have been a massive waste of time (especially for those who put it together). I sure hope it continues.

 

[Edu_Smith]

Yes. Nicko McBrain Virus guitar solo was the winner.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I helped put it together.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Then your time will have been wasted.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I know, it's a shame. A winner will be declared though, using the voting from previous rounds.
