  • Many of you asked for a full cover of this song, especially for the intro and chorus riffs, so I really hope I was able to live up to your expectations!
    In order to have the guitars a little more up front without having the vocals and rhythm section too low in the mix, I removed all of Dave and Adrian's original parts with the Moises App.
    Therefore, all the guitars you're hearing on this video were played by me.
    Guitars:
    Adrian: Jackson USA Signature Adrian Smith San Dimas
    Dave: Fender Dave Murray Signature Stratocaster
    Audio Plugin: BIAS FX II
    DAW: Reaper Audio
    Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
    Strings: Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 9-46 (Adrian) & 9-42 (Dave)
    Pick: Jazz III XL

    DAMN NICO!! You should do all your covers like this. Your tone and precision of Adrian and Daves styles is so on point you don't need to have their sound in the mix. Maybe just barely in the background. But man you're next level at these covers.
    UP THE NICOS!!!

    This song reminds me of growing up. Dad has a VHS tape that a friend of his recorded from MTV Headbangers ball, it has Maiden, Kiss, Ozzy, Conception, etc! I’ve watched it hundreds of time, The Evil That Men Do was right after Roll The Fire by Conception! I rewatched it and rewatched it!!!

    Up the Irons 🤘🏼

      Myself I am driving my daughter's YT channel and it requires a lot of work (no ads from me, not sharing a link 😉). So, that's why all the more respect and praise you deserve.
      Now, keep them knuckles happy, bring joy to the real (metal) world, and give the Prodigal Son (if I've not missed it) it's first live performance ever ❤️

    Masterful 😍, it looks like you like it and you enjoy it to the fullest, we already know that to play Maiden's songs they are not relatively difficult but that is the greatest thing to make songs that are easy to play but they blow your mind because of how well composed they are and with what elegance and personality come to you and impact you like an asteroid, that's what happened to me when I was 14 years old when I heard "Live After Death", which I play from beginning to end and when you see the video and the magic that surrounds it with Egyptian details everywhere and the costumes especially of Bruce and Adrian with their LADO guitar was absolutely overwhelming.
    To this day it is the Maiden live that I like the most along with the Seven Son Tour which was the biggest stage.

    Fantastic guitar cover as always. Perfect phrasing. I must say though, I really prefer the Rock in Rio 2001 version of this song. Bruce's vocals during that performance sound way better than what they captured in the studio for this particular track. Maybe the rush of that massive audience gave him extra determination.
