Mmm, the sad part is that large sections of the song rely on the other instruments, mostly song, to provide the variance and the depth. But that section is most def. instrumental.
Noticed the same, scrolled down to find who else did that. Dear Mr. Zwijsen, great job man, really great! God bless you, your family, all of us subscribers and those who like IM. All of the people in the world. R. I. P.
Man! you're playing always takes me on a journey. Just amazing. You do iron maiden very proud. And you make us advanced players strive to be better. But I think you're guitar playing is the highest standard of virtuosity.
When I was 12, a friend lend me the disc "A real live/dead one". Since then, I will have listened it more than 100 times, and "afraid to shoot stranges" was one of my first favourites songs. Congratulatios for the song, I have enjoyed it a lot. Thank you very much for make it :)
Simply put the most talented and interesting guitarist on youtube ,These interpretation's of these great Maiden tunes not only breathe new life into already magnificent song's, but makes you realize how well crafted and melodic they truly are. I find myself after listening to one song by Thomas it lead's to hour's. Gracias my friend , and from one guitar player to another bravo.
Dude, i just had to watch one video from you channel. Instant subscription on youtube channel, facebook page and i even like the videos before it starts, because i know its gonna be good! Man, from a musician myself and Iron Maiden fan, excellent work and awesome skills! Please do more, never stop!
I remember the first time that song hit me, I still could not understand the lyrics at that time but damn the take off of the song was just incredible to hear the first time, again thanks Thomas for covering that one!
Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead The desert sand mound a burial ground When it comes to the time Are we partners in crime ? When it comes to the time We'll be ready to die God let us go now and finish what's to be done Thy Kingdom come Thy shall be done... on earth Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go Should we live and let live Forget or forgive But how can we let them go on this way ? The reign of terror corruption must end And we know deep down there's no other way No trust, no reasoning, no more to say Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers.
Still my favourite video of yours. Amazing track, amazing playing and the message of the song is portrayed very well, though there isn't even lyrics. Nice job.

+Victor Martinez That must have been a good friend! :)
First part is a really eerie lullaby. Translates really well to the classical guitar.
3:26 what a change in energy of the song, awesome!
Usual maiden

+cornerslide Thanks! It has been requested so many times I really had to do it :)
The most precise, acuurate, and well played cover. I love the sound, and the video. I can go forever why i like this. Liked and subbed :)

Man, from a musician myself and Iron Maiden fan, excellent work and awesome skills!
Please do more, never stop!
I love the landscape that you chose to film this. That reminds me a lot of the artwork from the Fear of The Dark album. Nice touch
amazing ... you did a really great job. never thought this song could be so great on just one acustic guitar!
Your sound is amazing especially in the solo parts. You are clearly one of the best. Up the Irons!
Thank you!!
I remember the first time that song hit me, I still could not understand the lyrics at that time but damn the take off of the song was just incredible to hear the first time, again thanks Thomas for covering that one!
sent your name to my 15yr old son who is liking it love your talent so beautiful
Oh my God… this is insane. I love it!
Thanks for covering the beautiful music beautifully.
That mid section was pure class! !
I love it! Rock and metal would sound just as good without taming electricity! 🤘🏻🤘🏻♥️
Perfection, one man band. Incredible, thank you for sharing your talent and skill from hard work with us ☆
Thank you for doing this one. One of my favourites. Beautiful arrangement.
Beautiful song, beautiful cover, beautiful video.
Always love your playing.
It's quite minimalistic and therefore amazing style of playing this song. Allows to concentrate on the melody itself.
Assolutamente incredibile!!! Non è umano!!!
Damn , you made me fall in love again with this sick cover
Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground
When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime ?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die
God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy Kingdom come
Thy shall be done... on earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive
But how can we let them go on this way ?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers.
Best lyrics ever
Does this song speak about crime and praising criminals?
Fui até conferir se eu estava assistindo na velocidade normal! Muito bom! Parabéns!
the best iron maiden's song!i love it,very nice.
Amazing sense to listen to metal music coming from a classical guitar... a necessity.
Excellent rendition Thomas :-) A "BIG" thumbs up :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
+MrMegaFredZeppelin Thanks!
Thomas Zwijsen You are welcome :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

Setting so appropriate. 👏👏👏👏👏

That couldn’t have been better executed. Well done. Plus only a true Maiden fan would pick up on the band members last names on that wall.
Amazing as always ❤️
