Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

[Brigantium]

Blood Brothers, Unbeliever

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Aces High and The Unbeliever for me. But Blood Brothers come close.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Tricky, tricky...

 

[Naty]

Aces and The Unbeliever

 

[Collin]

Aces and Eagles.

That Where Eagles Dare solo is one of my favorites. If you watch the live recording, you can't help but wonder how that was done.

 

[Mosh]

Hate that live version of WED. Would've voted for the studio version. Why isn't that included? Or is it?

 

[mckindog]

Aces Unbeliever
Prefer studio of Eagles

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Blood Brothers, Unbeliever

Yes.

 

[Lampwick 43]

Unbeliever is getting my lone vote this round.

 

[tarikz]

The Unbeliever and Where Eagles Dare.

What a solo in The Unbeliever!

Is this Janick or Dave? If this is Janick it is in my opinion the best solo of his career.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Hate that live version of WED. Would've voted for the studio version. Why isn't that included? Or is it?

I think the studio version was included in one of the first rounds of this game? Isn't that right @Forostar?

 

[Brigantium]

I was sure I'd already heard that. I like this version in the context of the actual performance, which is one of my favourite Maiden live performances, but it doesn't stand alone well at all.

 

[mirtilo]

Blood Brothers and Aces High.

Where Eagles Dare sounds like noise and The Unbeliever is bland.

 

[TheSpectreWithin]

Wow, tough choice, I love all of these solos. I'll take Aces High and The Unbeliever, but Blood Brothers is wonderful as well.

 

[Forostar]

I think the studio version was included in one of the first rounds of this game? Isn't that right @Forostar?

Yes.

The Unbeliever and Where Eagles Dare.

What a solo in The Unbeliever!

Is this Janick or Dave? If this is Janick

It is Dave.

it is in my opinion the best solo of his career.

Janick's solo in this song (the one preceding it in The Unbeliever, not in this vid, apart from the last seconds) is imo the best of his career. You've got another thing coming! :--)
But yes, this one totally rules as well.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Ahem, sort your quotes out @Forostar I didn't write that last part.

 

[Srogyy]

It is Dave.

OMG. It seems I have to revise The X Factor ASAP... I thought it's Janick Now I hear Dave's obvious characteristics. I don't know what happened when I was listening to it, lol, I'm stupid.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

All of these solos are pure toilet. I hate you & your silly game Foro!!!

Now now Wingman, no need for that kind of personal attack!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Aces and TU, though Blood Brothers is quite nice. WED is a mess.

 

[tarikz]

Yes.

It is Dave.

Janick's solo in this song (the one preceding it in The Unbeliever, not in this vid, apart from the last seconds) is imo the best of his career. You've got another thing coming! :--)
But yes, this one totally rules as well.

Thanks.

Dave did an amazing job here with this one. I listened to Janick's solo in The Unbeliever and I must say I prefer this solo to Janick's. I simply hear so much emotion, rivaled only by his first Powerslave solo.
