[nib631]

[xxJunioRxxipa]

TU HERMANA

[petruchokiller2112]

perfect*))



[VEVeight]

Not only can you play, you are a very humble person. Thats important too.

[atypicalmystery]

you must be a true metal fan. I noticed you took the plastic covers off your pickups...I did the same thing when I realized that what maiden, and many other oldschool metal bands did to get a hot sound. you play awesome man. Keep on rockin.

[housein99]

OCRUE - been listening to your Iron Maiden, VH and Ozzy covers. All of them are awesome! Thanks for the treat!

[ledzep888]

Adrian "ocrue" Smith....

SALUTE!!!

[Thebassangler100]

did you take off the last 3 strings

[acdcandnerf]

@Thebassangler100 he didnt because if you look closely at the 5th fret or so you can make them out

[kickniko]

Great, simply great, for you kept the power without introducing the usual messy unclarities that only weaken the sound. You know, such things need power but also exactness, or else they decay down to a sea of uncoordinated fuzz, which is more or less hiow it sounds like, when I try to play it. Wonder how you do that, but I guess it will surely take some years of practice for me to play such a thing so flesh cutting as you do. Thanks a lot, man! Trying to figure out what you do, that is. ;-)

[damp1234567898765432]

great job!!! maiden ftw!!!

[RaderizDorret]

Another metal head rocking the Strat. I salute you sir. And, of course...

UP THE MOTHERFUCKING IRONS!!! \m/

[toredens]

perfect cover. I'm a big fan of you from now on.

[Demmettreus]

Play back fail.

Up you guitar sound.

[lilong19]

Great cover 5/5 :D

[0invaderriku0]

Again what can be said? Great work on all levels. Ozzy and Iron Maiden, you are a man after my own heart. Top notch guitar work with excellent tones. You are the guitarist everyone wants to sound and play like. And remember anyone who listens to his tone he is using a Strat which Dave Murray uses but most Metal players stay away from the Strat because they don't have the bottom end that is found in metal. Again, Great job on a classic song :)

[roadhammer63]

Awesome ! Helped me alot.

[Magoosvip23]

Fantastico....My most popular tune you play.5*****

[NadScratcher]

cool. andrian smith's slower solo is much harder isn't it?

[riseagainstmeatloaf]

@NadScratcher If you step back and look at it from a blues player's P.O.V. , it's not hard at all. Look at your licks, and apply them. Before you know it, his solos will come naturally.

[Gustavo3267]

thanks man, i learned a lot watching this. every time i watch again to get more stuff. you play very well congratulations.

[dansommo001]

the song is louder then his guitar playen in all his videos so does he really sound as good as you think.not that any of these songs are that hard to play..they are mid level diff...

[djmccracekn033193]

@dansommo001 it doesnt matter!!! even if he did play over his guitar you can still hear him playing along with it and its the same. id like to see you pick up a guitar and play like him and get it perfect

[1Billy1967]

Maiden Rules! Up the Irons!

[RafaelMagnus]

Thanks a lot, man! I've solved my doubts with this video. Keep playing, you're awesome!!

[stublad]

simply amazing

[Magoosvip23]

I could sit and listen to your stuff all day ocrue, you should be a session guitarist and be hired by bands when they play local to your home, well done

[FallenInByohazard]

nice! check out my cover of the trooper

[ZR21528]

i just love the heavy riff

[Dragslo]

*speechless*

[ZR21528]

your to good. rite some of your own songs and start a band and get rich.

[EddieRocks5150]

that was sweet

[xXxProkoxXx]

good cover buddy imma study this video and tune my playing cuz you play very accurately. my version not so good but i learn by ear. its from playing 9 yrs of fiddle (no frets). my "the killing ....." chord part not so good so thanks for showing at the end there the chords for that part. i should be able to get the rest, except the solo...that will take some practice and maybe some tabs. good job.

[cffc2880]

What effects and what kind of amp do you use?? That Highway One sounds a lot better than mine!

[LazyGamer26]

Can you please do a cover of The Trooper?

[lexfismat]

You put more notes in Adrian solo. But you play very well, congratulations.

[dennybeta]

ma stu figl r'puttana!!! incul'a mammat xD hai rubato la strumentazione a gli Iron Maiden??? ahauaha bravo bravo

[keeponrockin999]

maiden is pretty hard to cover but you did it almost perfectly, you should do Metallica that would be awsome!

[Dinozy]

very good ... very good :)

[pmorei]

this is the best cover yet. not only does it sound great but you actually show all the chords during the video...you can see them all really well and once can learn from this vid.. not like most others out there.. great stuff!....and yeah standard 440

[rainbowrocks223]

awsome cover 5/5 keep on rockin'

up the irons!!!

[ykduval]

あちゃぁ～、また渋い曲をコピーされてますね。しかも完コピです­ね。ギターの音もとてもいいですね。この曲も以前、演奏したこと­があります。

もしかしたら同じ年代かもしれませんね。

[ocrue]

ありがとうございます！

はい、同世代です！１０年間ギターに触ってなかったんですが、ユ­ーチューブのギターカバーを観て去年から再開しました。バンドす­るより手軽でたくさんの人に観ていただけるので、やりがいがあり­とても楽しいです！いかがですか、ドラム再開されてみては。。。­(^^♪

[ykduval]

私もドラムスティックだけですが、買ってしまいました。皮がめく­れて仕方ないです。（笑

勘を取り戻すのに大分かかりそうです。

[ocrue]

それは素晴らしい！昔を思い出して楽しんでください！そして、も­し曲が完成したら、ぜひＹＯＵＴＵＢＥにＵＰしてください(^^­♪

[alexis110897]

@ocrue 私はメキシコから来たんだ何かを理解していないあなたがあばたか­らより良いプレーが年を死ぬ日本の非常に詳説する理解すれば良い­です。に関して

[Guitarimproguy]

[thomsonr]

I think it's standard A440 tuning. Just try a few of chord and check it.

[hysterman187]

I love your camera angles. It`s very educational for anyone trying to learn a song. keep it up!

[acemcintosh]

You are very talented and dabhand, I like your way of playing:-). Keep up the good work. Can I also ask what guitar and amp are you using?

[ocrue]

Thank you(^^♪

My guitar and amp is fender, and effect is BOSS.

[ocrue]

My video can become your energy and is glad! Recently my work is busy too, I wait for your next singing voice.

[mkuri7]

完璧です。特にリズム、とてもタイトに決まっていてかっこいい！­見習います。

[ocrue]

アイアンメイデンのカバーはテクニックより忍耐力が必要ですね。­ダウンピッキングの連続で右手が腱鞘炎になりそうでした。（でも­バナナ食べたら治りました）

[edster612]

Ocrue san, as always you humble me with your perfection! I am honored by your example. You are rock and roll.

[DavidSinRocks]

Exellent as always! ^^

[ocrue]

Thank you(^^♪

[Ganjalf17]

Oh!An Iron Maiden cover at last!Good choice O-Crue,I like them ;) I've given you 5 Stars ***** However,the main riff of "2 minutes to midnight" of Iron Maiden is almost the same of Venom "Welcome to Hell",isn't it? Are these bands fighting for supremacy by law? :)

Great cover again

Bye

Mark

[ocrue]

I did not know VENOM, I watched it in YOUTUBE. Wow, I was similar for "two minutes" so that you said. They were wonderful performances.

[WolfCoalition]

brillaint and sharp.. ya got the rythm in the pocket..

[ocrue]

Thank you again(^^♪

[kurono71]

perfect as always,this is the ocrue's stile!!!yeah:)^^

[ocrue]

Thank you, kurono-san(^^♪
