    Thank you for watching this huge masterpiece of an Iron Maiden song! Described by Nicko as the most complex one they ever made... I hope you enjoy this solo version! I've had the pleasure to play this live many times with my friend and former Iron Maiden singer Blaze Bayley, and I believe this song truly deserves a place amongst the other Maiden classics.

    I always thought of this song as a complete masterpiece of musical understanding and talent. When played in a band of 6 with every single note hit is breathtaking. But to hear the whole thing played on one guitar, with so many of the layers all picked up on a single instrument shows amazing mastery of the guitar and music. When you have listened all manner of versions of this song played by Iron Maiden thousands of times and can pick out every single tone, you understand that to perform this on a single instrument like this is utterly sensational.

    Woooow! It emphesizes how amazing and ultimately classic Iron Maiden is. This song will be as Mozart is to us, to the future generations!

    I love this album and I'm glad Blaze sang on it. The mood of the album, even down to the artwork suited him perfectly. Sure Bruce is a better singer for Iron maiden, but this is Blaze's album and he desrves the credit for doing an outstanding job. Virtual XI is a different story.... Great job on this Thomas, it's beautiful.

    • @mutantkoffee
      @mutantkoffee 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Nice... for me its never a competition I just love the three Di Anno, Blaze and Bruce.. everyone has his own style and contributed very well to Maiden... I dont get the negativity of some people and blaming the artist's work.
      I enjoy a lot this music.

    • @marcusstoica
      @marcusstoica 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@mutantkoffee Agree. No need to say who was best. All I know is that all three singers contributed so much to the band and I am grateful. I can hear Blaze's impact all the way through to the newer albums and it was a great direction the band went in. The songs are really meaningful to me and I think it's because of the direction that maiden went in after X factor

    Sign of the Cross is one of my favorite Maiden songs, and how neat to hear it performed on a nylon stringed guitar! You must feel such satisfaction at being able to learn and play songs like this, as you should, and the rest of us mortals get to enjoy the fruits of your work. Please keep up the great work; I just bought two of your albums and look forward to more!

    Jusqu'à ce que j'écoute Thomas, je ne savais pas s'il était possible de transcrire Sign of the Cross à la guitare sèche en conservant toute la beauté et surtout la riche complexité de ce chef d'oeuvre d'Iron Maiden. Le fait est que oui, il y est arrivé. Et quelle réussite ! OK il y a quelques approximations sur la retranscription du jeu multi instrumental du groupe, et ce n'est pas facile de gérer trois guitares plus la basse de Steve Harris. Mais quel travail ! Félicitations Thomas !

    Eleven saintly shrouded men
    Silhouettes stand against the sky
    One in front with a cross held high
    Come to wash my sins away
    Standing alone in the wind and rain
    Feeling the fear that is growing
    Sensing the change in the tide again
    Caught by the storm that is brewing
    Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
    Some of the doubt in the things you believe
    Now that your faith will be put to the test
    Nothing to do but await what is coming
    Why then is God still protecting me
    Even when I don't deserve it
    Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
    Some they would call it a penance
    Why am I meant to face this alone
    Asking the question time and again
    Praying to God won't keep me alive
    Inside my head feel the fear start to rise
    They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
    There'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day
    And the guilty'll bleed when the moment comes
    They'll be coming to claim
    Take your soul away
    The sign of the cross
    The name of the rose
    A fire in the sky
    The sign of the cross
    They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
    They'll be bringing us all immortality
    Holding communion so the world be blessed
    My creator my God, lay my soul to rest
    The sign of the cross
    The name of the rose
    A fire in the sky
    The sign of the cross, yeah
    The sign of the cross
    The name of the rose
    A fire in the sky
    The sign of the cross
    The name of the rose
    The sign of the cross
    Lost the love of heaven above
    Chose the lust of the earth below
    Eleven saintly shrouded men
    Came to wash my sins away

    In my humble opinion, X-Factor is the best thing Iron Maiden have ever made. So gruesome, dark, atmospheric and conceptual.
    I want more stuff from "X-Factor", "Virtual-XI", "Judgement Day", or maybe even "Virus". 🤘🤘🤘
