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 10 million views on RUclips 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 RUclips. If this were to be the setlist at an Iron Maiden concert, I’d be very happy!”.

This is my acoustic/classical solo arrangement of Iron Maiden's masterpiece "Blood Brothers". I dedicate it to all those people everywhere in the world who gave me great reactions on my previous video's, thanks! I hope you all enjoy it :)

[@ThomasZwijsen]

Thanks! Bruce, Steve and Janick have my cd, and Janick told me on the phone that he really liked it :)

[@JBOutdoorliving]

Congratulations and I can imagine how touched they are hearing your brilliant iteration and celebration of the music that is Iron Maiden. No better honor .
Beautiful artisty and pure emotion and spirit.

[@Danyel76]

I'm a die hard Maiden fan and this song almost moves me to tears, also because ten years ago I lost my father and every time I listen to it I remember him.
A true masterpiece, thanks for this version, it really touches the heart.

[@DavidM6667]

I'm sorry for your lost friend.
This song was the one that I going to dance at my wedding with the only woman that I loved and who is no longer with me anymore and I don't know anything about her. This song takes me to that time. This beautifull version makes me feel nostalgic.
Greetings from Chile.

[@reecewarner8306]

Yeah same here man this is outstanding

[@ByronFox21]

Also i lost my brother 8 years ago. This Song makes me never forget...

I can say thousands words, for this song helped me to get my daughter.
2007, June
My wife brought me my daughter on 06.06.07. When I heard a phone call from medical, that my daughter was born, I was listening this great song. My tears, forever

[@RohanBhammar]

As much as this is arguably the most beautiful rendition of this song, you can't help but LOVE the way his cat tries to jump at something on the wall @ 3:59🤣

[@mactheAnimal798]

Unplugged Blood Brothers Guitar is so Medieval! Thank you Thomas! So nice!

[@ThomasZwijsen]

Thank you!!

[@0115Heather]

Thank you for helping me introduce my 97 year old grandmother to Iron Maiden! I am not being sarcastic I mean it she loved that version of the song and so did I. She did not believe that it was Maiden until I played the original for her. She likes yours better. 👏😀

[@BodaciousWickerman]

One of the best Maiden songs and albums.

[@ricknesar1627]

First of all, Steve Harris is THE songwriter of all times and Maiden is THE band. Hearing the best songs ever written this way makes you realize even more how fxxxxxg awsome they are!

[@joaocarlosandrezukamoura2516]

And if you're taking a walk through
the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you
would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the
moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me
…
Just for a second a glimpse of my
father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all
that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again
…
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
…
And as you look all around at the
world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we
have learned
Not if you're taking a look at the
war-torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies
are burned
…
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
…
There are times when I feel I'm afraid
for the world
There are times I'm ashamed of us all
When you're floating on all the
emotion you feel
And reflecting the good and the bad
…
Will we ever know what the answer
to life really is?
Can you really tell me what life is?
Maybe all the things that you know
that are precious to you
Could be swept away by fate's
own hand
…
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
…
When you think that we've used
all our chances
And the chance to make
everything right
Keep on making the same
old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we're living our lives on
the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead
…
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
…
And if you're taking a walk through
the garden of life

Anatoly Krast The nylon guitar sound just suits this song so well.

[@TheGatoly]

Correct and Rainmaker as well. All credits to Thomas and Maiden of course! Really good works.
