It's always nice to see people with completely different techniques sit down and throw together something like this! Thomas was always watching for changes and Nita's subtle "nice" expression when he came in with the vocal melodies really made this something else! Thomas has such a casual confidence and mastery that is such a pleasure to listen to and Nita just keeps playing through things that throw me and other players off like when her guitar strap fell down at the end (always unwelcome). Keep up the great work both of you! :)
It’s always awesome when you can see musicians enjoy what they are playing when they are performing. Even if it just a silly jam sesh. I have seen Nita perform with Alice Cooper and she always seems to FEEL the song, not just play it. Based on the live videos especially, Thomas does as well. I love that.
Great rendition! The shredding brutality of electric, combine with the elegant beauty of acoustic. Just goes to show how versatile metal is, especially when it gets HOT.
Nita Strauss is so beautiful and talented and she really gets so much joy out of playing ....That's the key to life people ...find something that you get pure joy and happiness doing....Rock on Nita much love from N.Y
Una versión maravillosa a dos guitarras, suena genial la combinación de española con eléctrica, desde España un saludo y a Nita Strauss que este septiembre que toca en España que disfrute como lo haremos nosotros
That was awesome. Two guitarist I have enjoyed watching on their own coming together to play a song I love. And the duo of classical and electric guitar sounds great!

Didnt like the guy. Boring most accoustic is. Song isnt good either. Rather hear someone on melotron or something...no percussion, no electronics, no keyboards. But everyones diff. Nowadays im over classic rock. Burned out rather hear Radiohead or Daft Punk or Gorillaz or Arcade Fire. Violins, keyboards, keytar, bongos, drum machine, melotron, odnes mardonet, a mixing of instruments...more interested in music borne out of computers. Industrial (Trent Reznor) or Joy Division, or Massive Attack. Synth work, etc. I want more then just guitar.
The old and the new/The new and the old. Just awesome. Thank you both. Thomas whom has to re-write. Who is a master? Myself? Love both of them to keep, Maiden alive. :) Just the way we play, what we play? To different things, same melodies. Thomas keeps up with. Opps.
Great duo! I love Nita Strauss, a heavy metal angel. Just saw her last month perform with Alice Cooper in Utica, NY. She's extremely talented and keeps the 80's metal tradition alive. The best guitarist I've come across in years. Alice and Sheryl should not give her up until they retire! The acoustic and electric guitar was wonderful, a great combination and added a beautiful touch on this classic Maiden song.
you guys r just incredible.... no words!!! A real honor for my ears, my eyes , my heart, my soul.. I pretty much think Iron Maiden felt the same if they heard you. Wish you the best !!!!💪💪💪
Hello Thomas , and Nita .......This two sounds together are absolutly fabulous ! Great !! Up the 12 strings :) ...The finish is incredible ! Congratulations and thanks
Skill doesn't come with sexiness. Unfortunately. And here's the proof. Overrated as fuck. The sloppiest guitar player at the moment and here just because she's sexy... fair play at its best.
@@sanimoze31 dude she got her big break by being part of the Iron Maidens. A female Iron Maiden cover group. I think she knows what she is doing. If she did not Alice Cooper would have never hired her.
This was the best Trooper cover I have ever heard. Many moons ago in a thrash band we would do this cover, and it would generate an insane pit every time. I still wonder why it has that power, though this cover can help me with my confusion.
TOOOO FAST ... Demasiado rápido para disfrutar, cualquier buen guitarrista puede tocar rápido, pero no cualquiera puede transmitir la euforia si se hace con su tiempo
@@danielmccormick3611 not just some guy on the net. I played for years and when we did a cover we did it right. She rocks no doubt about it.just saying
@@danielmccormick3611 you do not have to be a professional to observe the obvious rhythmic mistakes that she makes, and the jumping over some notes to cover up and keep the tempo.
Maiden play much faster live than on their studio track. That being said, they can still play the song well. She is obviously very talented but she messed up the solo, added too many screech effects and yeah...she was the weak link in the performance.
The perfect harmony of the two completely different version of guitars on a magnificent melody...
The amount of talent to convert this song over to classical guitar amazing. Nita was incredible as ever.

Wow, you are right! I never noticed that! Thomas is able to keep up with her ferocity and she loved it!

I'm more impressed with that guy fingerpicking that part
Its wild.
Insane fingerpicking technique! Wow!🤘🤘
Neither is really interesting
Nita is absolutely stunning, and a guitar goddes, but she rushed the f out of that song.
Bionic_Marine yeah the solo bit was very sloppy
Beautiful... It brought tears to my eyes listening to my two favorite worlds coming together, Classical and Heavy Metal. Thank you.
Great rendition!
The shredding brutality of electric, combine with the elegant beauty of acoustic.

Awesome !!! Thomas is so "relaxe". And NIta is just flying.
Nita Strauss is so beautiful and talented and she really gets so much joy out of playing ....That's the key to life people ...find something that you get pure joy and happiness doing....Rock on Nita much love from N.Y
Fantastic to see both of you having so much fun.
Gives me a smile from ear to ear!❤
Really, like this acoustic sound a lot.
You guys looks like your having so much fun...great song and awesome playing together!!!
Thomas, you are such an amazing guitarist! You have a new fan now, me!
Nita is unreal! She's so young and so good! It's crazy. I've seen her live and she's got the whole package with talent and stage presence.
Una versión maravillosa a dos guitarras, suena genial la combinación de española con eléctrica, desde España un saludo y a Nita Strauss que este septiembre que toca en España que disfrute como lo haremos nosotros
That was some serious skill from both players! Awesome. And the temp was great!
I wish they'd do more pieces together. This classical/electric combination is insane!
+Pawel X we did Aces High too, it’s on this channel!
Yeah, I know. But I'm hungry for more ;)
Leuk man!!!
ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING(!!)... BOTH, NITA'S "IMPECCABLE PULCHRITUDE".. AND "SONIC RIFFING".. A "DOUBLE WINNER" HERE.. CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT!!
Ela acelerou muito o tempo da música, mas foi uma versão interessante. Um Iron speed metal kkkkk. Parabéns a dupla!
Wow.... speachless..

Au top les 2 ... guitares électriques et classiques un super complément !
Not wat I was expecting to watch. That was a killer version. Well done!
That was awesome. Two guitarist I have enjoyed watching on their own coming together to play a song I love. And the duo of classical and electric guitar sounds great!
Everyone that covers this song plays it much faster than the original for some reason
because is epic.
set to 0.85% ... sounds perfect
So true. Even Maiden itselves play it faster
True. Rage Against the Machine do it quick.
That is because it is impossible not to rock out with such a composition. It draws the wild side out.
Holy Mother of God that was awesome!

great cover your are a great classical musician and with nita strauss whos a new legend in guitar nice cover of the great iron maiden
I must be getting old, if i find classical guitar more impressive :)
He is a way better player .
Well... The same thing I was thinking... I found the acoustic way better

Something is off with the timing ...
It's too fast at some parts
One is finger picking and the other is fast picking, that's why it sounds a bit off. Personally I think Nita is downtuned a bit.
Definitely too fast at times
it was a bit sloppy on the solo part.
she is trying too much... just look and sounds premade and off and not real at all

CARAMBA que show... Ela toca demais! INCRÍVEL! PARABÉNS!
"Great Performance..
Mr.Thomas and Miss Nita Strauss... I Like It!!!"
🎸🎸🤘🤘👍👍🙏🙏😎😎
The beauty and the beast!!! Couriously the beast is Nita
Then call me Emma Watson, because I'd do pretty much anything for a chance with Nita!
Leslie Forsdyke there's no doubt you like her. Up the nylons
No doubt i'd love to watch a beauty and the beast movie with Emma and Nita
Both are the beasts on guitar
This was great! Also makes you realize how unique dave Murray is - she did an amazing job but no one can replicate his playing!!
so good!
My god! Besides you're playing this music, the rythim of the right hand of Nina Strauss is mind blowing! Wish I had a rythim like that! Up The Irons!
A bit too fast but overall pretty dope
Listen to "Live After Death".
Mach 2.
This is my favourite cover of the trooper and god, I love these pinch harmonics - amazing!!
What a great guitar player. And Nita Strauss is there, too.
you guys r just incredible.... no words!!! A real honor for my ears, my eyes , my heart, my soul.. I pretty much think Iron Maiden felt the same if they heard you. Wish you the best !!!!💪💪💪
Thank you so much for the lovely words!
Hello Thomas , and Nita .......This two sounds together are absolutly fabulous ! Great !! Up the 12 strings :) ...The finish is incredible ! Congratulations and thanks
Cool to see how much fun you're both having AND how impressed you both are by the other's guitar skills! 😎🤘
Really awesome! Not being negative, but this song is nothing without the amazing bass line. Still really amazing arrangement like this tho.
Ricardo H. i agree.. steve harris is 1 of the best bassist
Well, it's steve we're talking about, he's spoiled us
You're both incredible, I love you guys!!
Just watched your "Aces High" with Nita (which was awesome) ... But this was so much better mixed, your guitar is clearer here
Awesome (Y)
yeah aces high was meh
I do not dare say "meh" ... but yeah xD
Awesome rendition. Love the tempo. Love the contrast between the acoustic and the electric. Fantastic stuff.
I dont know why is everybody complaing about speed..its their way of playing song and its awsome
My brain melted at this epicness!!! 🤯
Thomas is amazing player. And i love that he has the smile of pennywise (Bill Skarsgård)
Wow stunning and not just the playing which is amazing.
👏👏👏 sem palavras, faltou até o ar.
Perfect combination of electric and acoustic guitar!
Nita has skills. Plus her attitude, confidence, and personality makes her easily one of the sexiest women on the planet.
Skill doesn't come with sexiness. Unfortunately. And here's the proof. Overrated as fuck. The sloppiest guitar player at the moment and here just because she's sexy... fair play at its best.
That is hér job tó Play
@@sanimoze31 dude she got her big break by being part of the Iron Maidens. A female Iron Maiden cover group. I think she knows what she is doing. If she did not Alice Cooper would have never hired her.
But the solo sounded like shit
@@sanimoze31 I totally agree she is super overrated and sloppy and in my opinion she ugly asf
Man, Nita plays it fast. Don't think Thomas expected that, but he eventually got into the tempo. Good job, guys!
I Love Nita
Brilliant, both make it look very easy.
Amazing.Thanks for watching
You're welcome
Wow! Very cool playing on both parts! My Gosh is Nita hott!
This was the best Trooper cover I have ever heard. Many moons ago in a thrash band we would do this cover, and it would generate an insane pit every time. I still wonder why it has that power, though this cover can help me with my confusion.
I can’t stop watching this!!!! You are both so good!!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!
0:47 hermoso ver como la dama está fuera de sí un momento y comienza a agitar su cabeza...epico.
grandes musicos desde colombia felicitaciones
Nita self adjusted the sound to hear Thomas better. Pro!
that was super awesome. I loved how the electric guitar sounds with the classical
Dam cool!! Well done guys
2 people doing a great cover and really enjoying themselves, great to see
I think I just fell in love with that girl....even if the solo wasnt the best.
WOW That's so awsome, the combination Classic guitar/ e-guitar kicks me away and Nita ist the WOMAN! Love her so much.
onde consigo uma guitarrista 👱 dessas pra mim? 😚
Qualquer loja de instrumentos,stratocaster
@@hegelarthur ele se referiu a mulher kakakakakakaa
Contrata o Pablo vittar ela e loira também...
Sans cela oublier Thomas. Bonne prestation, encore du travail. 👍👊
TOOOO FAST ...
Demasiado rápido para disfrutar, cualquier buen guitarrista puede tocar rápido, pero no cualquiera puede transmitir la euforia si se hace con su tiempo
Wow, I really like combo with acoustic
Why is her P?laying so sloppy and off time ?
Just beautiful
She rips a guitar but she's playing that song wrong
It's a cover not a performance bud
@@usmanrind9648 still the amount of unnecessary bends makes anyone uncomfortable
Says some random internet guy about someone who professionally played that some for years with the Iron Maidens
@@danielmccormick3611 not just some guy on the net. I played for years and when we did a cover we did it right. She rocks no doubt about it.just saying

Mind blown. Seeing the descendant of Johann Strauss playing Iron Maiden.
tim27177 I didn't know he's a relative of Johann Strauss. Very cool
Awesome playing, both acoustic and (of course) electric.
Way too fast.
The play it fast live
I didn't know I need this in my life... until now.
Isso sim hein...
amazing combination - sounds great!
Nita is a GODDESS
acoustic guitar has never before sounded so badass !!!
Both of them are amazing musicians but the one on the right is definitely better looking.
The power and the glory.
Why so fast ?!
Zwijsen's playing is untouchable.
She's messing it up
Wow just wow! Amazing!
BEST VERSION
EVER
we thank you!
Amazing guys
She plays it too fast n cramped
Maiden play much faster live than on their studio track. That being said, they can still play the song well. She is obviously very talented but she messed up the solo, added too many screech effects and yeah...she was the weak link in the performance.
Beautiful combo!!
Half a woman, half a fire!
Vladimir Ranisavljevic do jaja brate!
One of the best videos on RUclips.
Perfect name for this album is “Nylon Maiden”))))
Muy bueno y una excelente versión de tributo
