ATG, it's probably my favorite Maiden solo. Like a lot of Adrian's solos from SIT, it transports you to another world. Spectacular.
 
Yeaaaah, Brave New World! A definite favourite. One of Janick's solos that has everything he's good at. Furiously fast, blurred section - check. Melody - check. Unexpected turns? Check. The perfect solo. Because of how good it is, it's getting my single vote.

Holy Smoke, Alex.

Yeah, holy smoke, dude. (What's in these cigarettes anyway?)

Just kidding. My name's not Alex. :applause:
 
Brave New Smoke. Janick sounds almost like Fripp on the HS one :D And the BNW one does need no justification - it's just pure gold, really.
 
Alexander the Great
Brave New World

Though the solos that come after these ones are wayyy better.
 
Very easy round.

DWYGO is fine, but tonally boring. HS is a mess of noises.

Alex is pure brilliance, one of the all time best. BNW is a perfect showcase for the player.
 
Holy Smoke is unique, iconic really, but ATG and BNW are excellent and more my style.
Boots is meh.

Dave's Alex solo is in the game as well, right?

Absolutely!

I hadn't expected this amount of negativity over Dave's Die With Your Boots On solo. I like it a lot. A sparkling solo fitting perfectly over the rest of that excellent bridge. There are fast runs in it, but notice how well he ends every part. Not the best? Perhaps. Boring? Not the slightest.
