    Absolutely awesome. I like to think that this is proof that others see Iron Maiden the way that I have. They're not just 'some metal band'. Their music is melodic, intricate and beautiful and tells a story that's worth hearing. Your playing is fantastic and offers an amazing perspective on what otherwise might have just been received as metal. Don't get me wrong; I love metal, but it just so happens that I love classical and Spanish guitar. Thanks for doing what you do, my friend.

    happy late birthday Thomas. Somewhere in Time was the first CD i ever listened to back in the day. Loneliness, still today, is probably on of my most favourite songs on the planet. There should be a setting 11 on every speaker when that intro comes up. I cannot for the life of me figure out how you manage to play that entire song on one guitar like that. Unbelievably awesome . I cannot even tie my shoes, without dislocating a kneecap (which is why they invented velcro ) and you turned one of ( at least for me ) metals most significant songs into a flamenco like orgy that wants me to cook paella and at the same time have a bottomless cup of sangria. Big Respect, awesome what you have done here !!!!

    I feel lucky to have grown up from 1960 until now because some of the best music was created in the past 60 year's, of that's excluding the music of Mozart and his classical peers, and the blue's of the early 1900's
