    Those Hendrix-esque details by Dave Murray makes em one of the best sections ever in a Maiden song

    Great breakdown of one of Maiden's best songs. I've always loved how Dave & Adrian's guitars complemented one another, and not just followed what the other was doing. This song demonstrates this concept wonderfully.
    Dave hit the spot with those Hendrixy licks. It's also cool how Dave usually stuck with the neck pickup for his solos, as opposed to Adrian's lead bridge tones. This adds more color and makes the players more recognizable.
    Add to that Steve's amazing bass lines, Nicko's virtuosity (his playing on the 7th Son title track is out of this world and builds up atmosphere magnificently), and last but not least the good old Air Raid Siren's operatic prowess.
    A truly unique band with unmatched song writing skills. Very few are on the same level as Iron Maiden.

    Another thing that stands out on Seventh Son of the Seventh Son is how much palm-muted rhythm work there is and how heavy the bottom end of the sound is. No other Iron Maiden album is more old school heavy metal in terms of rhythm guitar work than Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

    @asclepiusdoom3118 Год назад +4

    Superb analysis.
    Id like to see you tackle "Keeper of the Seven Keys" parts 1 & 2. Heavily 'Maiden influenced, Helloween managed to synthesise the speed of Thrash metal (eg Metallica & Anthrax), with neoclassical shred (eg Malmsteen), with nods to both early 'Maiden right up to SSOASS.
    The late 80's were awesome for metal and musically, Donington MoR 1988 was an absolute pinnacle of the genre.

    Such a cool video, and what a song, indeed!
    I was happy to hear you point out Dave’s Little Wing influence, because I love those parts.
    Infinite Dreams perfectly showcases that chemistry between Dave and Adrian that made Killers through SSoaSS so iconic. I remember Adrian saying that he couldn’t imagine having that kind of connection with anyone else. SSoaSS is such a magical album, and was perfect with which to end the 80s.

    • @LicksOfTheBeast
      @LicksOfTheBeast  2 года назад +5
