That run before Janick's solo is such a wonderful part. Very unique in Maiden catalogue

[daroblackheart]

2:22 One of Janick's best solos. Fast, dynamic and aggresive. Well done Nico!

Just saw Maiden in Calgary, awesome show, there were no changes to the setlist and I'm glad they didnt change a thing, you couldn't tell they had 7 weeks off they were at the top of their game, the concert flew by fast. Atreyu was a pleasant surprise, go early so you can see them, they were good as well...Up The Irons!

Enjoy the IM shows Nico!!!! Had a blast with my son at their concert in Calgary !!!! Awesome experience for me to share an Iron Maiden show with him 🤟🤟🤟

[ghastlynavigator]

[SomewhereInTheMaidenverse]

Insane in the best way possible!!! 👏 🎸 🤘Awesome!

[DolkkarToyznstuff]

That was rockin! Such a great tune and you nailed it, as always!

[carzz]

amazing as usual nico! could you do a breakdown on janick's riff before the solos? i find your way of playing it easier and more accurate than how i learned it

[RonStraat]

Wow...perfect Nico! Keep them coming, I love watching you play, you make it seem so easy....but man you are a awesome guitarplayer!
Maybe share your tone settings which each cover/lesson you do, would be great.
Greetings from The Netherlands.

[ghastlynavigator]

Oh man what a tone!! Those solos are pure fire and you nailed them! Fantastic playing Nico. Thank you 🙏 UP THE IRONS 🤘

[HammerHeart]

It's probably never gonna happen but it would great if Maiden reintroduced this song and Futureal to their live shows. One can dream I suppose 😂 Still bugs me the hate that Blaze Bayley gets too. He got a bit of a raw deal with Maiden I think. The lad's a good singer and his solo stuff demonstrates that!

Either way, excellent playing as usual, mate! You've come on my radar over the past few months and you've become my go to guy for Maiden covers! Loved your Purgatory and Sea of Madness covers in particular too! Those tracks look fun as heck to play! Keep doing what you're doing, good Sir! 🤘

[morpheussmith]

Fantastic playing. Spot on. Always really great production on these videos as well. I hope Blaze is doing alright these days, he's had a tough year.

Man on the Edge has two of the most difficult solos of Dave and Janick, IF you want to play them at PERFECTION. I'm talking for Janick's phrase at 2:29-2:32 and for Dave's phrase at 2:38-2:39. You HAVE to hear the original ones (not you Nicko of course). These two very tiny phrases are very difficult to master them. Nicko I really love your playing, please don't misunderstand me 😃!!!!
I wish Janick would play the live solos close to the originals. He has done a PHENOMENAL job on the records and unfortunately he ruins everything on stage....
