Criminally underrated Maiden track. This song is what sold me on Iron Maiden. It's so much fun to listen to. I find something new every time. Thank for posting this!
"Criminally Underrated" haha :D I actually never listened to it before now, so weird how tastes in music can be so different, this is the first Maiden song that made me feel absolutely nothing at all listening to the whole song. There are several songs for example on No Prayer For The Dying which probably is one of my least fav Maiden albums that I think is much better than this song which is kind of weird since Piece Of Mind has several great songs that are much better than anything on No Prayer For The Dying. Anyways to each their own and godspeed! Next summer my first Maiden live-show in soooo many years with the "Run For Your Lives World Tour" . So excited =)
And hundreds of times it was heard. By me! OMG I knew this was coming. 1st Maiden song I attempted to Iearn in early 80' high school. Problem was I was doing all 3 guitar parts on my own. Sounded like Shnaz to me but my buddy's were jst amazed. I can clearly see I was doing it all wrong. Can't wait to disect & finally figure how to play probably one of my fovorite songds. 👈👍🤘
This piece is amazing 👩Can you imagine Iron Maiden has not been inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of Fame? What is up with that? That is a travesty of justice! Where is this pride and arrogance coming from? Iron maiden earned thier right to be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame a long time ago, pieces like this one are a staple of they're genuine originality, from: Scranton, Pennsylvania
They were nominated but didn't get inducted - meanwhile, only 2 of the 7 inducteees this year make actual rock music. Like everything else, it's all politics and optics. 🤷🏻
I was 13 when I heard an interview on the radio on my boom box and it was Bruce and Steve talking about a song they wrote about the novel Dune. The author hated heavy metal so no permission to name it Dune. They wrote it anyway and named it To Tame the Land then the song played. I WAS BLOWN AWAY!! Went and bought Piece of Mind and my friends the best album from the first song to the last what a tune and what an album!!
Just amazing, you nail the entire catalog perfectly! To Tame A Land could perhaps be my favourite Maiden song, it's easily in my Top 5. Surely one of the densest, most intense ones they ever did. When that bass riff kicks in, supported by the swelling gong noise, it sweeps everything away like a tsunami. The vocals are also stellar. I'm still getting goosebumps even after so many years.
My thoughts exactly. This is my favourite heavy and epic album closer by Maiden. It's on the first Maiden album I heard in 1983 at age 13, and the one I return to most frequently, even forty years later. An interesting connection for me is that I was also listening to The Police album Synchronicity in '83. One of my favorite tracks on it is Tea in the Sahara. Another exotic and mystical sounding track which is heavy in a different way.
Very awesome, this is the first Iron Maiden album I first heard when I was 12 years old, this was back when cassette tapes were out, he came to school with the piece of mind cassette and said, "you've gotta listen to this", I took it home and put my headphones on and was blown away and have been a fan ever since, great song and great cover as you always do. Thank you very much!
I just finished watching your performance of Innocent Exile prior to this one. Steve’s writing really grew in just a couple years and just a couple albums! Such a fantastic track this one! 🤘🤘🤘
2 hours 40 minutes left of 2021, I'm sipping Conkers gin and watching iron maiden covers. I thought the recent dune film was great. Best song from that record. Great sound, great production. Skills that kill.
Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱 nice vids colection. Up the irons 🎶 Ps: At 2'18 I do play a faster picking in that link. Like 5 strokes in the fisrt note. My ear says that to me lol
practice dude...lots of regular daily practice on scales, hammer-ons, pull-offs etc.... its all about building muscle memory.. I wish someone had told me this back when i first picked up a guitar..
First of all thank you very much for the kind words. Much appreciated! As for what and how to practice, like Airblazer mentioned, there are basic things one should practice regularly like picking exercises, hammer ons and pull offs, bends, stretches... Then you should also work on your control of embellishments such as harmonics, vibrato etc... This is all standard stuff one can do with exercises I'm sure you've seen a thousand times in books and videos. It's a bit different when you start to reach a point where you can start to play at a decent level but get stuck there and progress becomes more challenging. How to get past that is going to be different for everyone and a good teacher can help you get over that hurdle for sure. I explain a bit how I worked through some sticking points in my video "A Different Kind Of Exercise...." so maybe check it out and hopefully that will be helpful to you too. Good luck!!!
GREAT TUNE !!!! from the Greatest band of ALL TIME!! great skills love the leads well done. Looks like Frankenstein's mouth was trying to sing along !!!!
this is one of my most favorite tracks from Maiden. Great job Nico.. I love playing this song. I love to listen and/on play this one, gotta love all the time changes.
Thanks a ton man!! For some reason I always found this song intimidating when I was younger so I had never actually learned it. It was nice to really delve into it after all those years ☺️ Glad you enjoyed it!!
Here's a great question to all you maiden fans. If you could name piece of mind after one of its tracks what would it be? For me it would be Die with your boots on. I think it's a fitting title
Hey that's really awesome to hear (errrr...read... whatever) because do try to make the covers at least watchable and hopefully entertaining also for non musicians who might just be interested in understanding the music and guitar parts a bit more. Thank you!!
F#@King love it;-) Great great song, and well done, Brother. It's a shame you didn't put up the name of the guitar player(s) you were playing at that time, lol You know what I mean;-D Keep it going, Bro, as you are awesome;-P Up the mighty Irons!!!!
@@cjones3093 Well not everyone finds it that easy! I certainly cant🤔 I honestly can't tell what guitar they use, just from the tone, either🙉 Up the mighty Irons 🤘 🤘🤘🤘
Sai io invece preferisco il titolo che ha. To Tame A Land per me è uno dei più bei titoli per una canzone! Molto pittoresco ed azzeccatissimo alla canzone.
Great song and cover 👍 shame that Herbert didn't allow to use the title Dune. Strange, because loads of metalhead would have probably bought the book... The flamenco part of this song are highly inspired by Asturias of Isaac Albéniz
Come hai equalizzato le parti lead (specialmente l'intro di Dave)? non sono mai riuscito ad avvicinarmi bene al sound di questo album che è il mio preferito insieme a SIT. Ad intuito credo che hai messo i medi (500hz) abbastanza alti ed il resto un pò tagliato, specie i bassi; come hai equilibrato invece presence e treble?
Tutto con Bias FX II. Per questo ho usato un preset che mimica relativamente bene il sound di POM - modificandolo un po' a modo mio. Certo non è identico ma non è niente male per un plugin!
Please... I'm far from a master of anything. Just Nico is fine, brother! 🙂 For that POM sound, try keeping the bass and treble around 3-4 and the middle up high around 7. Not too much gain and then add either a tube screamer or an MXR Distortion for color but again, don't use too much gain. That's a good start I think. Of course a lot depends on your amp, pickups and most importantly, your fingers!! 😃
Harris se inspiró en esta canción, la verdad que es una pena que no lo pudiese en los creditos, apropiarse de las ideas de otros asi de esa manera es un poco , ....ya me entendeis. Hay mucha información en Internet sobre el tema. ruclips.net/video/V2F6RswMYpw/видео.html
Hello, what a good cover did you get, I also got a song from IRON MAIDEN hope you like it and the channel has many more covers and I hope you join the channel, there are many bands, friend thank.....

Oh 1000% such a great song!
Thanks for watching 🤜🤛
This song sold you! Go back to the first album it slaps! Not a weak song on it!👹

I fooking love this track. That dirty driving riff with Steve's bass over the top. Bruce vocals are outstanding.
What a great way to end and album that was going to be heard hundreds of times, it was so joyful to experience.
I completely agree with you man! It really does feel like a very satisfying ending. 😊
And hundreds of times it was heard. By me! OMG I knew this was coming. 1st Maiden song I attempted to Iearn in early 80' high school. Problem was I was doing all 3 guitar parts on my own.

Have fun!!
The only better outro by maiden is ROTAM,🤟🤟
But hang on,then you got IM,WTWWB,HBTN,ATG………Maiden always go out with a bang

Mystical sounding song 🎸

Magic
Skills are there no doubt, but MAN!! The way you nailed the tone!! Amazing talent!
Thank you so much man!!!
What a great song from the great era of Irons. Beautifully played, respect.
Always loved Dave’s lead/solo pieces - made the song!!!!
This song is somewhat underrated by fans, but I consider it excellent, in its oriental and classical atmosphere that beautifully evokes.
Oh it's a fantastic tune and a real milestone compositionally. They managed to even throw in a little flamenco part in the middle... 😆🤘
@@LicksOfTheBeast They really have a very particular way of composing melodies that are very interesting and pleasant to listen to. I really like it.
Just amazing, you nail the entire catalog perfectly!

Was JUST ABOUT to propose this one!! Thanks mind reader, GREAT performance as always !!!
It's like I just know, right? 😂😂 Thanks as always my friend!!
The harmony part that begins at 5:40 til the end is one of the darkest, most sinister moments in the Iron Maiden catalog.
Very awesome, this is the first Iron Maiden album I first heard when I was 12 years old, this was back when cassette tapes were out, he came to school with the piece of mind cassette and said, "you've gotta listen to this", I took it home and put my headphones on and was blown away and have been a fan ever since, great song and great cover as you always do. Thank you very much!
I love the way we used to discover music back in the day. There was a certain magic to it 😊
Thank you for watching and for the kind encouragement!
Altro che sottovalutata !!! Questa canzone è un capolavoro Maiden ! Cosi come la tua "solita" perfezione !
I just finished watching your performance of Innocent Exile prior to this one. Steve’s writing really grew in just a couple years and just a couple albums! Such a fantastic track this one! 🤘🤘🤘
Amazing bright tone that has alluring fierceness to it that's captivating to me as a guitarist and your skill at sounding melodic is truly artful!

October 19th In Denver baby!!!!
So good👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Te sobra calidad por todos los lados amigo,enorme.Una de mis preferidas de maiden.Me parece un tema super oscuro te envuelve esa armonia de guitarras.
I've always been a fan of these slow melodic openings to Maiden tunes :) Totally agree with Bradleys comment, such an underrated track.
Had my best time in life listening to Iron Maiden. So powerful.

By the way nice tone, perfect playing.. 👍
Awesome cover and love your t-shirt with the classic Universal monsters 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love the universal monsters!! 🧛♂️
My favorite Maiden song and the funnest one to play on the guitar, in my opinion. Excellent job Nico 👏.
Outstandingly good. Great song. Great books. Well played Sir
Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱 nice vids colection. Up the irons 🎶
Ps: At 2'18 I do play a faster picking in that link. Like 5 strokes in the fisrt note. My ear says that to me lol
Best cover of this song i all internet, your guitar playing is so preffesional always trying catch the iron maiden tune and identity
1000 thanks!! I do try to capture the same feel as much as possible. Glad to know it comes across that way ☺️
Primo cover !!! Nice execution, very well done. Great guitar tone too !!! :o
Your playing is amazing. Can you make a video explaining how and what to practice to get to this skill level?
practice dude...lots of regular daily practice on scales, hammer-ons, pull-offs etc.... its all about building muscle memory.. I wish someone had told me this back when i first picked up a guitar..

Fantastic cover! I never really listened to this track till recently. This is an amazing track. That riff Kind of reminds me of the parchment.
One of my all time favorite Maiden tracks😁. Great job!
This is awesome thanks so much for sharing! Up the irons!
Outstanding playing, Nico!
GREAT TUNE !!!! from the Greatest band of ALL TIME!! great skills love the leads well done. Looks like Frankenstein's mouth was trying to sing along !!!!
Hahahahaha i hadn't even noticed that 🤣 Thanks a ton man! Much appreciated!
this is one of my most favorite tracks from Maiden. Great job Nico.. I love playing this song. I love to listen and/on play this one, gotta love all the time changes.
wow great. It is one of my favorite Iron maiden songs. You did a great job
You nailed it, not only the playing but the tone, you really captured the atmosphere of one of my fav songs from Piece of Mind, well done Nico !!
Thank you very very much! That's super nice of you to say 😊
Dude that was awesome.
Superb playing. The sound of your rig is spot on.
Thanks man!!
Fantastic cover!
Thank you very much!
Epic man....epic.
Cara sou seu fã!!! Você é o 4º guitarrista do Iron, sem dúvidas!!! Deus te abençoe!!!
Muitissimo obrigado, amigo! 🙏🤘
Bravo Nico come sempre!! Sicuramente una delle mie preferite e che eseguivo male (non è una novità) grazie sei una risorsa inestimabile.
Wow grazie davvero tantissime!! Comunque se questi video aiutano a capire meglio alcuni passaggi mi fa immensamente piacere ☺️
Bela foto ao fundo (Adrian).
Wow man! Out done yourself - beautiful
Thanks a ton man!! For some reason I always found this song intimidating when I was younger so I had never actually learned it. It was nice to really delve into it after all those years ☺️ Glad you enjoyed it!!
Bad ass cover of To Tame A Land and bad ass shirt bro🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks man! Gotta love the Universal monsters 🧛♂️
Wow!!
Epico 🖤una delle mie canzoni preferite dei Maidem anche se ogni album lo ascolto senza schippare una canzone
Faccio spesso la stessa cosa 😁🤜🤛
Your playing style is so cool and calm. I like that. Congratulations man. One question. Who is your favourite player Dave or Andrian?
...It could be Janick too 😃
Adrian is the one I relate to the most overall, but I do love all three guys' playing styles and songwriting.
Here's a great question to all you maiden fans.
If you could name piece of mind after one of its tracks what would it be?
For me it would be Die with your boots on.
I think it's a fitting title
perfect
Great cover!!
1:37 magnificent moment
Great!
Very cool man. I'm not a guitar player at all but you make it super interesting even for someone like me
Hey that's really awesome to hear (errrr...read... whatever) because do try to make the covers at least watchable and hopefully entertaining also for non musicians who might just be interested in understanding the music and guitar parts a bit more. Thank you!!
great man !

It's a shame you didn't put up the name of the guitar player(s) you were playing at that time, lol You know what I mean;-D
Keep it going, Bro, as you are awesome;-P
Up the mighty Irons!!!!
Maiden fans can tell whos' playing which part; Adrian and Dave's style is different. You just have to know. Not hard for me at all.
@@cjones3093 Well not everyone finds it that easy!
I certainly cant🤔
I honestly can't tell what guitar they use, just from the tone, either🙉
Up the mighty Irons 🤘 🤘🤘🤘
@@cjones3093 same man
this is one of the most beautuful and unterratted song of all maiden's discgraphy in my opinioin, it's really a shame is never considered live!!!
5:40 best riff of all time
questo pezzo è un capolavoro, ma chiamiamolo come doveva essere intitolato ossia DUNE
Parole sante.
Sai io invece preferisco il titolo che ha. To Tame A Land per me è uno dei più bei titoli per una canzone! Molto pittoresco ed azzeccatissimo alla canzone.
@@LicksOfTheBeast avrei voluto vederla suonare live.... cosi come alexander the great

How to achieve that dark, fat Piece Of Mind's tone?

great playing but i cant help but see will ferrel peeking out at me on your t shirt.

Hello, what a good cover did you get, I also got a song from
IRON MAIDEN hope you like it and the channel has many more covers and I hope you join the channel, there are many bands, friend thank.....
Oops, my friend at school let me borrow the cassette.
Spot on! Bro, Maiden should have picked you to replace Adrian in 1990. You're a killer on that guitar!
Haha thanks! I would have failed that audition in spectacular fashion back then 😅😅
Great cover !
