    Appreciated how they got the volume correct on the bass parts, every time I hear someone cover this song, you can barely make out the bass. The attention to detail that the geeks put into every song they cover is what sets them apart from the rest. One of my favorite groups of musicians .

      Almost all good Maiden covers have female singers. Bruce's reigster is just too damn high. Half the time he's past tenor into the soprano register on the high notes. From a technical standpoint peobably one of the most impressive singers outside of opera. And those guys can't sing Maiden either. Try asking them to sing past the high C. They'll probably smirk and say that's not possible.

    OUTSTANDING!!!!! This is one of my favorite songs by Iron Maiden and know it inside and out, and the attention to detail you guys gave it was phenominal. Steve Harris is a hard bassist to follow and Richie did him justice. The solo was perfect, and the Anne Marie was dead on, too. Was hard to imagine a woman singing Maiden, but once I heard, all fears were gone. NO, I didn't forget the drums, Nicko is also hard to imitate sometimes, but drums were on point, too. I think out of any band I have seen in concert, Maiden has to be the one I have seen the most.
