i coudlnt help but notice this when i saw the album, look where the entrance to the pyramid is

[rockguitar2012]

@FilipUNIBO I'm a huge Adrian Smith fan, please upload his Rock in Rio guitaring if you can :) it'd be interesting to listen to and it'd be good for learning Maiden songs on guitar

[Oxandroid]

My opinion about Maiden's tune:

Best drums => Powerslave

Best guitar riffs => Piece of Mind

Best guirar solos => Somewhere in Time

Best vocals => N° of the Beast

And the bass was always good!

Someone else agree?!?

[NickosReincarnation]

@Oxandroid I agree but id say best drum have to be seventh son man

[mathieuhoulee]

@Oxandroid Best Mix => Dance of Death

[ShearerToon]

@FilipUNIBO thanks.

As long as you can isolate the middle track you should be fine- what i did was put an audio cable from my dolby 5.1 hi-fi amplifier going from the centre channel to the input of my mini disk.

I'm just really suprised that no mp3s exist all over the internet. This is dynamite for maiden/guitar fans. It's just adrian smith, complete with all the mistakes and seperate guitar parts that you sometimes would really notice.

[ShearerToon]

hi,

just wanted to say that i'm a big fan of your maiden uploads.

also, i was wondering if you had any idea where i can find recordings of the isolated track of Adrian Smith's guitar at rock in rio. not sure if you know, but the dolby surround channel of the middle speaker is just adrian's guitar. I recroded it onto mini disk many years ago but can't find it anymore.

any help would be appreciated...

thanks, Dez

great cover

Always loved the sound of Nicko's china on this song. Love the fill at 4:13 too.

[mattrandall2008]

I love Iron Maiden and it has been fantastic listening to isolated tracks such as this one. My regard for Nicko McBrain has gone up levels; I used to think that if I was a drummer I would like to be Keith Moon. Now I imagine what it must be like to be Nicko, making these incredible sounds. I would never have been able to appreciate the part that runs from 3:59 - 4:14 or the 'shimmery' cymbal work were it not for this video.

[Bassbait]

It sounds so much better when the individual tracks are all sloppy. Natural sounds are far superior to all of these triggered drum sets metal bands use today. Not to say drummers like Gene Hoglan are bad (Gene Hoglan is my favorite drummer), but I just prefer a natural sound, and think it subconsciously affects the listener in a positive way. That's why pop is so bad, no natural sounds throughout, creating a stale atmosphere, whereas bands like Iron Maiden really come alive in their music.

[tokorev747777]

Nicko is such a great drummer! You can tell how much better maiden got on Piece of mind because of Nicko! ( Not saying Maiden sucked before he joined, Their drumming just got better! )

[joaoa13portugal]

Nicko Mcbrain RULES!!!

[wlmmn]

I love how almost every single one of these "isolated track" videos gets a comment about what software was used to isolate a single element out of a mix.......it reflects a widespread ignorance about the physics of sound. Trying to isolate a track from a bounced-down, stereo interleaved track like the final, complete tracks of songs you hear on CDs would be like a chef trying to isolate the flour from cookie dough that's already been mixed in with all the other ingredients. Sorry, I'm cranky...

[punkrockdrummer1990]

CAN YOU PLEASSEE FIND A WAY OF DOING THIS WITH WHERE EAGLES DARE??????????

[iacek123]

I have opened drums, vocal, giutars and bass in 4 different windows, sounds good xD

[AnamariaOcampo99]

@iacek123 i tried that too!!!

[phille22]

Nicko is probably the one I'd rather listen to seperate from the band. Nicko solo=<3

[luisin1984]

Most drummers only do the rythm and try to make outstanding fills to the song ... but Nicko plays along with the band which is way more harder and valuable.

[Krissern92]

Can you please tell me how you rip the songs from Guitar Hero?

[erikk73]

Awesome!!

But there are some hiccups, aren't there? I guess the final track that is on the album was doctored.

[jonhallMusic]

Thanks for the reply!  . . . and the posts!

[jonhallMusic]

How do you isolate the drums like this? I've heard others doing this too. Special software? Anyway, thanks for posting this!

[iuricastro22]

Please upload more Iron Maiden DRUM tracks

CHEERS!

[iuricastro22]

Nicko is the best, thanks for uploading;

Upload more if you have it

UP THE IRONS!
