I want to 😭 this song is so emotional for me. I can see some one of you feel the same way. Nothing Maiden made after that feels the same way.
The Best somewhere in time song!
Agree🤟
And wasted years
I couldn't be more agree!
Yeah this song is phenomenal, Iron Maiden are the greatest metal band of all time to me, I still remember when this album came out I was 16 and was blown away by every single song.
I think all of the songs are equal Masterpieces, except Heaven can wait, which is still a great quality song,40's. but slightly below the others. Which is prefarable at a specific time depends on the mood
The harmonies at the end are amongst the most beautiful they've written. When I play them they make me shiver. I can see from your face that you feel kind of the same thing.
Oh absolutely! Parts like these just teleport you to a whole other world 😊
The tone on this album has got to be my favorite of all time!
That tone is AWESOME!
those GK250 amps were the best part of this album. The guitar tone from them was amazing and never topped. They used a different model of the 250 for Seventh Son and it did not produce the power that this album has.... Great stuff they did then.
It's the album that got me hooked on Maiden!
It is one of my favorite Maiden songs and it is soooo underrated. It is a collection of marvelous melodic and emotional riffs. It always gives me goosebumps.
Same here! Best title ever for a song too! OK it's not really their title but it's still awesome 😄
Same ! Makes my skin tingle listening to this track.. very overlooked and underrated.. easily one of their best ever tracks..
one of the best of the album!
This Deja vu and Alexander are the best
Agreed 👍 🤝
Beautiful playing! And Somewhere in Time, what an album man... Best Maiden record.
Still my favourite one! 🙂
You enhance the beauty of this band by playing flawlessly ALL of their parts, I am astounded how you cover all of their songs in detail and analyze them with passion and care. You prove that Iron Maiden are and will always be the best. Their feeling, harmonies and melodies will NEVER be equalled, you find them in any of their songs.
This is the difference between playing off of tabs and actually playing with feel. This guitarist gets it. Well done Sir.
Big thanks man!! Hugely appreciated! 🤜🤛
Great great cover! Incredible song off the best Maiden album. Such a pity they only played it live once
They played it first date of the tour...there is something off in that performance, I think the toll on Bruce voice and the relentless drum taking over persuaded them to cancel it from the setlist, also because live they were used to playing wildly faster than the studio release.
I also think The Loneliness was ahead of its time for the Iron Maiden fan base.
I wish they played the whole album as they did with AMOLAD.
Two great things in one video: covering Maiden and having a drawing of SRV in the background.....
Ho my God... incredible cover, this is my song, this theme of this album marked my life at 18 years old, I started listening to Iron Maiden in 1982 when I was only 14 years old and today at 53 years old I continue to enjoy its excellence, I am from Argentina and in 2019 I traveled to Miami to see a concert, I wanted to listen to Maiden in a small and closed place... You are a genius, how I would like to play the guitar like you
Thank you very much! I am quite far from a genius.... the brilliance truly lies in composing these pieces. 🙂
Fuck yeah!!! This cassette and Reign in Blood permanently lived in my car stereo my sophomore and junior years on highschool. Man I miss that Monte Carlo hahahahaha
Who wouldn't miss a Monte Carlo?! 🤷🏻🙂 Ahhhh good times.... 🤘
I really like this song and it's covered to perfection...
One of the best and my favourite but underrated Maiden song
Most underrated Maiden song
Nah that would be That girl off the uk b side of Stranger in a Strange land then Deja Vu them this.
3:26 - when I listen to this solo, I feel very lucky!
Seems like that Jackson guitar was made for Iron Maiden era 1986-1988. It looks so futuristic.
There's something about a white and black superstrat that is both timeless and futuristic at the same time. It's a brilliant design!
Yes of course like have Dave Murray when i was younger,i wont to have one like Dave Murray. One day I see on internet white body superstrat with red pearloid pickguard and maple neck.i said this is my perfect combination of colors,i show it to my brother he said that is awesome.
You play this song same like them.Great great great cover.
@@desdeiclo6950 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this video and that Strat in your picture is a beauty!
Certainly gets the blood pumping. 🤘💯
Always loved this song, great playing!
t hope they play this one on the next tour.
One of my favorite songs!! Really amazing execution, Nico. Thank you for sharing. Still not sure why this beautiful song got dropped of the setlist after one performance (Blessed Belgrade!)!
Probably was a bitch to sing live. 😄
One of my favorite songs of all time!!! 🤘
Swell ad perminatemidnifht
Masterfully played.
Those fast chords changes in the prechorus are great, and there are some great harmonies in this song... once again 💯 🤘😬🤘
That Solo is so bad ass!
Awesome job bro, one of my favorite Adrian Smith solos with some beautiful little bluesy runs thrown in.
My favorite Maiden song! Well done, Sir!
excelente tema de uno los mejores albunes de maiden , muy bien tocado gracias por todo lo q aportas , saludos desde argentina
Easily 2nd best just behind the Caught somewhere in time.
Great video !! ❤️🤘
Such a powerful and rich tune, it always puts a chill down my spine. Excellent playing as always. I only discovered your channel a few weeks back and I'm blown away.
Thank you! I'm glad you found the channel 😃
Oh my, that’s smoother than a bald dude’s head!
🤣🤣🤣 thanks!
Una delle intro più sottovalutate...bel lavoro!
this song is a lot of fun!
Phenomenal!
Absolutely fantastic cover as you always do, spot on and precise, I love this song and this entire album, Iron Maiden are so unique and so creative and persistent, they are so tight while in the studio and especially live. I read about the loneliness of the long distance runners and they really existed delivering important messages to distant lands and kings , absolutely amazing they were real people. Thank you so much.
Somewhere in time tem meus favoritos solos
You know what I'm going to say, so i might as well not say it all. Can i just at least suggest the Maiden songs i like the least, so you could for once cover something i don't actually love? Hahaha awesome mate, one of my top 5-10 favourite tunes here, and you've knocked it out of the park as per usual. Amazing effort!!! I couldn't even bloody tell if that was a cover or the exact original song during these solos! 1000000% dead exact tone!! Huge congrats !!
You just have exceptionally good taste, my friend! 😁 I do put a lot of work into getting the phrasing and details as close as possible so it's very rewarding to read your kind and encouraging words. 1000 thanks! 🙏🙏
Awesome! Keep up the great work my friend!!!
Excellent!
Wonderfull
Ouwsome! Another masterpiece of somewhere in time. Thank you .
Nailed it
Beautiful tone
amazing!!!!!
Grazie tante!! ☺️
Awesome! Keep on rockin' some more Maiden covers! You are spot on for the Smith vibe and style🤘
Thank you very very much! I will definitely be doing many more covers and so much more. 😊🤘
Don't know how I missed this one! Fantastic job and that solo is perfection. Amazing song well done! Up the Irons 🤘
Well I do have 68 videos now so they're starting to add up 😆
If you've watched them all (or even a lot of 'em) I am EXTREMELY grateful so thank you very much!!
Honestly brilliant man- I aspire your efforts, sounds great
I appreciate that very much! Seriously, thank you! 🙏🤘
Pretty good guitar cover dude, the best cover I have ever seen on youtube, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ROCK!! UP THE IRONS!!!
nice! loved it!!!!!
Super glad to hear that! Thank you 🙏🤘
you play it so perfectly Niko. it’s so impressive.
Yoy play very well!!!
🎼 Excellent... once again...💙🎶
1000 thanks!! 🙏🤘
Wow! Great work! It’s strange, for some reason this song has always struck me as a Bruce penned song lyrically…. But the great Somewhere in Time was all Steve and Adrian (And one track from Dave with Steve). Anyways great song written by Steve here, and Great work by the whole band. Excellent choice Nico!
Uau, que sonho ter um talento assim! Parabéns!!
Muitissimo obrigado! 🙏
This is awesome! Waiting to see more old songs!
Thanks dude! There will definitely be many more!! 😃🤘
Bravissimo! Non ho mai capito perché questo album non sia mai piaciuto ai fan.. io lo adoro con queste chitarre synth!
Rimane il mio album preferito in assoluto 😊
Once again, outstanding job on this one sir \m/
Thanks so much man!! 🤜🤛
Bravo mec 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Sounds great! Awesome job buddy 🔥🤘
Hey thanks so much man! 🤜🤛
Sounds awesome 😎
Thank you so much man!! 🤜🤛
Amo essa música !!!
Eu também! 🤘 Muito obrigado por ver aqui ☺️
Olá amigo! Sou brasileiro, fã do Iron e percebo que você é excepcional! Fantástico! O melhor cover guitar 🎸 que já vi! Esse hitz tem muita musicalidade, alternância sonoras e nos solos! Estou acompanhando seus vídeos! Fantásticos! Parabéns! Joga no tradutor aí e ouça meus elogios a você e ao Iron! Um grande abraço e fui!
Olà amigo! Muitissimo obrigado pelas palavras tão gentis e generosas. Saudações do Canada 🤜🤛
Amazing Nico! Cheers! I love this song. It is a masterpiece I mean the whole album. It is a pity that they don't release an official live/video album from this tour. I only have few bootlegs of that era. Cheers!
From what I understand, they just don't have high quality footage unfortunately...
From what I've heard.They only played it live once. In Brazil I think. There is a vid from a tour based on this album.But I think it only cover one or two songs from it.I remember a guy a knew used to have it.
I remember Nico stating in a interview ,that it was a pretty tough song to do,cause there are so many pace changes.He really didn't wanna do it live. But I think the Iron Maidens have covered it
you inspire me sooo much to pickup my guitar,, awesome playing and awesome chatecter of uuu u also such a humble nice guy :)
Thank you so much brother! Greatly appreciate your kind words and I am so glad that these videos might inspire you to play more!! Cheers 🤜🤛
Killertune
Wow great number ❤️ personal favorite 👌🏼👍
One of my faves too! Thank you! 😊
I have taken a 4 year break from playing gujtar and watching you is making me wan a start playing again. This is also mh fav maiden song
Reading comments like this makes me so f'n happy and the only thing that will make me happier is you saying you DID start playing again! 😃
Practicing guitar is the one thing that takes me back to the best feelings of my teenage years every day - and it's something I hope I can keep doing for as long as I'm alive!
Best of luck and have a blast!! 🤜🤛
@@LicksOfTheBeast thanks for the reply mate, i always felt I wasn't the best as I could never hack double picking, but I'll practice and see how I go.
Espetacular meu amigo, cover perfeito!!!
Estou aprendendo muito com seus vídeos do Maiden. Amo essa música.
🤟🎸🤟
Muito obrigado! 🙏 Estou muito feliz que meus videos ajudem! 😃🤘
The 4th guitarist of Iron Maiden...
Much too kind man! Thank you 🙏
Gut
Admirable ! you belong to the cream top of the cream of guitarists man,.and thanks a lot for your vidéos
That's so kind of you to say. 🙏🙏
Thank you so much!
The Soli are so complex how can someone remember all that notes and tricks
Iron eh foda ! A melhor banda do planeta
💯💯
fucking awesome!
👏👏👏
you are a very good player
Much appreciated. Thank you!! 🙏🤘
👏👏👏👏👏......
The closest Maiden ever came to full-on power metal.
The Grover Jackson Model Adrian is seen using on the track SIASL ....I've never seen another elsewhere

@@LicksOfTheBeast Wonder what price it sold for ,,,
Amazing cover bro! Absolutely killed it. Are you playing over a backing with the guitars removed, or playing over the original? Keep up the awesome work man, big fan of your channel! ❤️
Thank you so much!!
On this one I'm just playing over the original.
Great work. Can you please tell me how you build the tone for the intro to the song? Thank you .
So, why this man doesn't play for Iron Maiden?
Yes I agree, I think he is better Janic!
For me Maiden is the best Metal Band ever....but i am not familiar with their newer stuff....my Maiden Time was from 1980 til 7thSon and i Know the Brave New world
Congrats ! you did a lot of practice to play it fluently like that
Nico it's possible to have also right this tone for the bias FX 2? Please!
Can you tell me how Adrian, and yourself play that first sequence of notes, so Fluidly and still,delicately and melodically? when I hear it online, people always seem to make the nottes too distinct from eaach other and sharp, whereas Adrian makes each note flow from one to the other, but still eacha is clearly distinguishable; this gives tthe beginning notes a kind of otherworldly beauty. There is a live version, where Adrian does it with the same fluidity and delicacy, as in the studio version. I haven't seen anybody else manage this when doiing it, except "children of the beast" and yourself
If you're talking about the intro part, try dragging the second note a little bit longer that you might otherwise hold it. That will set the pace for rest of the phrase... It's that dragging feel that makes it sound the way it does.
@@LicksOfTheBeast Ok, Thanks
OMG I WAS LIKE #999!
Hurry up and be like #1000!!!!
Olá amigo! É seu brother brasileiro! Comentei este vídeo outro dia, sensacional! Mas você conhece nosso cover do Iron, o Raphael Mendes e sua banda? Para quem é fã do Iron, show também! Procura no RUclips e checa aí! Destaque para impressionante voz do Raphael! Um abraço!
Sim, eu o conheço 🙂
Nos seguimos no Instagram.
Has anybody an idea where you can get the accurate Tabs for this song? I searched almost everywhere and found only rubbish.
one thing that no one ever talks about is string gauges.....what does Smith and Murray use and what do you use? ive always loved 9s for the solos and 10s for the rhythms
The string gauges are mentioned in the description of every video on this channel 😁
Here, I use the same as what the guys in Maiden play:
9-42 for Dave, 9-46 for Adrian, and 10-46 for Janick.
Personally, I prefer 9-46 on Fender scale guitars and 10-46 on Gibson scale.
Cheers!

is it the American version of the Jackson or the Indonesian stock one ? great videos !
Sorry for the super late reply!!!
This is the Indonesian one. I recently got the US version as well and both are great guitars 🙂
Which model of Seymour Duncan pickups do you have on that white Jackson guitar?
I have a TB-4 in the bridge, a classic stack in the middle and vintage hot stack in the neck.
@@LicksOfTheBeast Thank you very much, I appreciate that.
Please I NEED your BIAS Preset desperately. Or your Chorus settings (key in Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son albums). Regards from Argentina, Sam!
You should be able to download it from the BIAS tone cloud if you look under licks of the beast (I only have one up there)
If you don't find it, check out this video I made a while back 🙂

Wow nice playing man! Don't you have a band?
Much appreciated. Thank you!! I'm not in a band at the moment but I guess that leaves me more time to work on this channel :-D
Could you please provide the tab for the lick starting at 1min43
I don't have tabs for any of this stuff. But you're basically going back and forth between a second inversion D minor and C major chord arpeggiated.
Dminor: 2nd string, 6th fret. 3rd string, 7th fret. 4th string, 7th fret.
Cmajor: bar the 5th fret on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings.
I hope that helps!
Che pickup monta al ponte la stratocaster? Il DiMarzio Super distortion? Grazie..!
Adesso ho il super distortion ma quando ho fatto questo video, credo che avevo ancora il PAF 36th anniversary.
Camiseta do pantera ?????
Tabs ?
