Blaze Bayley is one of the returning guest musicians on this album, performing two tracks from his Iron Maiden days, as well as a unique version of Blood Brothers off the Brave New World album!

Thomas has gained almost 15 million views on YouTube with his arrangements of Iron Maiden songs for classical guitar, making this his most anticipated album to date.

Zwijsen comments; “in our attempt to choose the best track listing for the most fulfilling, surprising and complete Iron Maiden tribute album, we simply couldn't fit all the songs on a single CD, so we decided to make it a double CD this time. Many of the songs were requests from people on YouTube. If this were to be the setlist at an Iron Maiden concert, I’d be very happy!”.

All these covers bring out how beautiful and brilliant Maidens music really is.  Amazing job Thomas.

The only dislikes on this video could be from some people who don't know how to be inovative and make their own style of already well known song, songs are not made to stay the same all the time every artist should make their own version because that is what makes an artist be an artist, to bring the best music from their heart like this man did.. I hear Iron maiden but I also hear Thomas

[TheosDio]

I got the same chills like I was listening to the original song. Keep it like this you are awesome! :)

[SuperchargedSS]

Don't ever stop playing like this. Anyone who is a hater is not a real Maiden fan. Maiden is all about doing something different and being unique and this is unreal. I've never seen this done before and it is pure talent. Eddie and the boys would be proud. Amazing job.

[JeddAhyoung]

Wow, dude! Wow! Dude, that was brilliantly executed....but not just that, it was beautifully arranged. I saw the capo and wasn't sure what to expect but you blew me away. This arrangement is incredible. In fact, it's on par with the original song, and I'll stand by that. Well done, man. Well fucking done.

[jenolustyik]

Ohh my god. Man, that solo made me cry. Absolutely genius.

[homemlagosta]

I could never imagine that this song would fit so cool in classical ways...! Congratulations!

[lamerical]

this is how a song should be covered..with originality, cheers and up the irons!

[stevenwatson]

Amazed, absolutely blown away. Thanks for this.

[capitanroger]

Incredibleee!!! Bravissimo!!!! no words

[James_Hutch]

A good way to introduce someone to heavy metal :) it's very misunderstood where I'm from. Iron maiden being one of the most talented out there, it's saddening. Awesome video!

[BNBN]

Pal you are perhaps the most talented musisian ive seen on youtube. Absolutely breathtaking. Good job.

[think-forge]

It's not about the lessons. It's about dedication and hard work.

[walterslzr]

You have gift my friend....excellent acoustic cover and interpretation

[realchrispontius]

So awesome and makes me really happy!
Your covers really compliment the originals.
I just came across your stuff and am sharing it with my friends and they love it too.

[CarlosCeballos]

[marisolrenata]

Siempre supe, que llegarías lejos ...desde estos videos te comencé a seguir.Thomas Zwijsen eres el mejor♠♥♣♦

[Diiina]

Ok, this is pretty much one of the awesomest things I've heard since the tribute to Iron Maiden piano covers :) Keep up the good work, because it's amazing, made my day! :)

[martinex]

[borjeman]

I've tried in vain to make a maiden cover on an acoustic cause i couldnt make it sound good. Yet here you are making my ears bleed of awesomeness!
