Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

[MrKnickerbocker]

Wicker Man is my favorite Iron Maiden solo of all time. And I completely agree with @Maturin that the melodic bookends should be included.

I also voted for Breeg, but that was a last minute decision. Wicker Man is still miles above it in my eyes. In fact, I've talked myself out of it. @Forostar, if possible, retract my Breeg vote, please.

Had a tough time deciding the second solo so just voted for The Wicker Man.

 

[tarikz]

Breeg is by far the best solo of this group and I see it as one of the contenders for the title. Since the gap is too huge, I only voted for that one.

OK.

No Breeg vote withdrawal please. You need to nip this nonsense right now, Foro.

Wicker Man AKA 'hey look, everyone, Adrian's back'. And after much consideration, Benjamin Breeg. Sorry, Phantom, I really like that solo, but there's an awful lot more to Breeg. Slightly surprised we have no votes whatsoever for Starblind so far.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Again my vote aligns with yours, @Brigantium - those two are the best out of four very enjoyable solos.

 

[Brigantium]

Excellent

Wicker Man and Starblind by Adrian

 

[Pand]

Phantom of the Wicker Man. Not too difficult a decision for me.

Starblind, Benjamin Breeg

 

[mckindog]

Phantom is tasty, the Wickerman is less effective on its own than I thought it would be, I like the backing tracks better than the lead on Starblind, so I'll go with Breeg, which plays off the visceral rhythm patterns quite nicely.

Bummed I missed the previous round, but the right song went through.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Starblind.

I agree that Breeg's solo stands head and shoulders above the rest. And Starblind's amazing too!
Never cared that much for neither Phantom nor Wicker Man, though I like the "Oriental leanings" in the former.

 

[Mosh]

Oh man. All 4 of these are excellent. I need more time to think!

 

[Naty]

Oh no missed this round... but the two solos I would pick got the majority of the votes anyway

 

[Forostar]

108 advances directly to round 2.
