Extremely underrated track. One of my favourites. The melody in the interlude section is one of their best ever. The riff is groovy as hell. It's very rock n' roll, and yet the arrangement is very interesting still. And Bruce's performance is also very memorable. Great work as usual Nico!
This song is not under-rated. If you are old enough to have went to the epic "World Slavery" Tour in '85 like I did, two times; then you know that Iron Maiden played this track every night during the concerts. And the crowd loved it every time! They even would sing along. And the song even made it onto the Live After Death album of that tour too! It's a great track and every fan from those days understands that. Not sure about this new generation though? But Die With Your Boots On was a song Maiden always included in the set-list during the 80's. I know this for a fact because I have seen Iron Maiden so many times. Especially in the 80's.....And they always played this track.
@@freddyferrillo9704 Sure. It's not as underrated as The Duellists. However, they've played it very few times in recent decades and regular fans rarely mention it. It's not on any compilation either. As a song, it's one of their 'rockers'. They''ve written quite a few since, which they prefer to play. That would seem to indicate they prefer those newer 'rockers'. Like 'The Wicker Man'... which to me is their weakest single ever. This is what makes it underrated, when it is in fact one of their best tracks.
Piece of mind is the First true classic style of iron Maiden in terms of structure and melodies etc. Number of the beast song writing wise was closer to killer and iron maiden than piece of mind. Amazing album!
You are a legend, as are Iron Maiden. Seriously, my favourite Maiden song (is there such a thing) could well be Die With Your Boots On and my fav album is Somewhere in Time. Thanks again for another amazing video… I’m at Download next week to see the guys in action. Keep up the amazing, inspirational work. Thank you!
Thanks for this lesson! It’s going to be a great weekend! I enjoy all of your content, but this series of lessons is near the top! Looks like you’re up and running in the new place! Congrats! Again, great job on this lesson, very informative not only to guitar players but to anyone that wants to understand how Maiden puts things together.
Hey Nico, you usually have tabs for these beginner/intermediate lessons, is there one available for this one? Thanks! Also, heads up, you’ve got a comedy video saved to your Licks of the Beast tutorials playlist 😂 I know firsthand how hard that is to keep from happening, but thought you’d appreciate the heads up.
@@CC-qb9sm hahaha thanks for the heads up! I don't know how that even got saved but that definitely was pretty funny 🤣 I really didn't have time for tabs on this one but I tried to make everything as clear and slow as possible. If you have any doubts on anything, do let me know and I'll be happy to clear it up 😊
@@LicksOfTheBeast - Oh Man, I didn’t watch that comedy video, ended up getting busy and now I wish I would’ve seen it! Will do if needed on reaching out if anything is unclear on the tutorial, thank you! I think I’ll be good, I just like the crutch sometimes 😂
@@CC-qb9sm i find that this is a good way for people to work on their ear training. Just guitar without other instruments in the way, you can see the position and the notes go by slowly. 🙂
A hidden gem from my fave sounding and best Maiden album for me along with Somewhere in Time. I have played this album at home by ear so many times, your detailed analysis helped me find a little mistake I made in just one of the notes that Adrian does on the chorus, a stupid one, just to put an example. And I love Adrian´s part in the interlude, it is NOT in my opinion what you would expect to double Dave´s harmony, and he even continues when Bruce starts with a little variation at the end. Many thanks for the analysis Nico and horns up!!!!
I love to play this song but once again thanks for the tip for the G chord in the verse, I always did a powerchord. This song is a killer tune live, either in Live after Death or Maiden England it's one of my fav. Now once again Adrian solo is perfection, in my top 10 of his solos. Nice work as usual
It is truly astounding how Adrian and Dave approach playing those chorus parts. They are completely different and make the riff heavy in a really interesting way.
I was watching an interview that took place with Steve & David, the host pulled out all the iron maiden CDs and laid them out on the table and then asked them which album is thier most favorite and both Steve and David both picked " Peace Of Mind " 👩 from: Scranton, Pennsylvania
You are absolutely amazing my friend and thank you so much for your expertise and knowledge, Iron Maiden are my favorite metal band of all time and I absolutely love their music 👍
To me, Maiden had the BEST dual guitar attack period (now they have 3 so its not a DUAL one lol) its almost like they live in eachother's heads and know what the other is going to play at all times. They both are awesome guitarists in their own, but together, they are even better.
Currently on holiday and when I get back I was gonna try learn la villa strangiato by rush HOWEVER will have to get this one down first cos its such a banger 🤘
Possibly my favorite Maiden song of all time! Nice review, I've always played it with the ending little blues run after the into as well leading into the verse. Maybe I'm just hearing it wrong... I also can't help but walk back up as the bass does going into the chorus, just not live though, lol!
It sounds like your playing thru a Marshall 4x12 closed cabinet with the master volume full throttle, but the chanell volume around 5:00 😂 😆 😄 what a crisp sound, whatever the case, that master volume sounds full throttle 👩 ❤️ David said in an interview that: he and Adrian are not in competition with each other when playing, they play together " end of quote... I think that means they leave each other a lot of freedom to play the same thing but in they're own way, or with they're own interpretation of the phrase 🤔 very interesting, from: Scranton, Pennsylvania
Hey Nico, I've been looking forward to another instalment of this series and I'm glad to say you always deliver. I'd never appreciated this song enough--I think some people have called it "discount Trooper", lol. As usual, thank you so much for taking the time to enlighten us noob rhythm players. I would like to ask you for advice, as the best Maiden cover player that I know: a few friends and I are planning to perform some rock/metal songs at a small festival, and I decided that it would be great to have an Iron Maiden song. The problem is that I can't figure out what song is catchy, has an easy solo, and is easy for the bassist to sing... I'm considering "the Wicker Man" or maybe "Benjamin Breeg" but I'm scared that the lead guitarist will kill me if I choose something with a tough solo (he's already pissed at me for requesting a Megadeth song). Do you have any suggestions or tips?
@@terjeweum3677 That's a great idea! I was thinking post-reunion songs would have much easier bass lines but "Running Free" seems to be fairly simple with some variations in live performances.
Yeah it's a great song and honestly, I don't see any similarities with The Trooper! 😄🤷🏻 I think a good song to do would be Wrathchild. The vocal melody matches the riff for the most part and there are no ridiculously high notes except for that scream in the middle which can be modified, done by someone else in the band who can scream or even omitted altogether. If it helps, I have a tutorial for that one too 🙂 Good luck!!
Of those 2 I would try running free first and so Wratchild / maybe you will end up with both of theme 👍 It might be some other songs on those 2 first album also but I remeber I was trying inthe past to do some of this stuff an Running free I think was the easiest / but nothing of Maiden is easy so you could say the least complicated I guess was running free/ Good luck and just let the singer do it his own way / dont try blueprint it / And Transylvania is good warm up for any band practising / I will go have a listen to those albums as I think they are sooo good 👍😎👍 I guess it is a worth trying a song from Piece of Mind to / Revelations/
Dave's solo is one of my fav...never been an underrated song to me... Same goes for Quest for fire and Sun & steel. Actually Piece of Mind is the album I love the most because every song is awesome... And the paradox is that The trooper never impressed me too much.
hey a new video..very cool. And one of my fav songs from Maiden. And I always love to check myself against you Nico to be sure I'm doing the song right. Are ya'll moved in??
That's cool... I'm sure it's helpful to check but of course don't forget that I do make mistakes too so if something doesn't match, it could be my playing that's wrong and not you 🙂 We're all moved in but there is still plenty to do before we're settled. Fun times 😄
My absolute favourite is Somewhere in Time but I have big love for all their albums. I am in the new room now and we're still working out some of the details 🙂
thank you so much Nico, it appears there is no link to the tab sheet music to download for this video like there is for the other BEGINNER songs in this amazing mini series
Do Adrian Smith and Dave Murray both play the G chord in the Hendrix style, or does one play it that way and the other in a different way (e.g., an open G chord)?
Dave does too, although he often plays a regular power chord or even a full major barre chord. Janick also plays it that way quite often when the chord has to ring out.
Questo è un pezzone!l’ho sempre visto come un proseguimento musicale di 22 acacia Avenue!!e l’altra evoluzione e 2 minutes ti midnight😊di fatti ce la penna di Smith in questi pezzi😂ti chiedo una cosa:farai mai una tua classifica riguardo ai tuoi album preferiti?io penso che al primo posto c’è somewhere in time...ciao continua così e UP THE IRONS!
Infatti io mio preferito è proprio Somewhere In Time. 😊 AMOLAD è un un altro che mi piace tantissimo ma mi piacciono tutti per come sono e quindi non sarei in grado di fare una vera classifica obbiettiva. C'è anche il fatto che la band si è evoluta continuamente album dopo album (a volte anche in modo radicale) e non hanno mai fatto un album tanto per farlo quindi come paragonare tipo piece of mind a seventh son e su che basi? Detto questo, un paio di top 5 divertenti li faccio a breve (compreso un top harmonies parte due). Grazie mille per l'incoraggiamento! 🤜🤛
Hi, didn't you do a full cover of dying with your boots on? is it next? you are a genius, I love to see and listen to your covers, I hardly put Spotify anymore to listen to Iron Maiden
Actually, I never did, although I did cover the solos on my Instagram page a while ago. That's an amazing thing to read!! I am so incredibly flattered by that! Thank you 🙏🙏
I buy these from WaSport - they manufacture sports uniforms in Brazil and they have officially licensed Maiden jerseys for pretty much every album. ironmaiden.wasport.com.br/camisas-de-futebol/
This is another interesting one. I know that most tabs have the pedal note in the intro, but going by the original recording, I can't say I ever heard that low E in there. One would think that the pedal note would be more audible in the mix if it was there on both guitars. I question the general assumption that there is a low E pedal note in the intro to this song. To me, it sounds like there's a subtle pinch harmonic, especially on the E (A string, 7th fret) and G (A string, 10th fret) notes in Adrian's and Dave's parts. I also hear a slight bend of the string (like a short vibrato) on those notes at the beginning of each measure.
I can hear the E pedal very clearly both on the original recording and on the live versions. The reason it isn't more audible might be that it gets muted out pretty quickly and gets a bit blended with the bass once it comes in. You can hear it better in the first 8 bars. There is, in fact, a slight pinch harmonic on the accented E/G notes but it's a sporadic/ad lib kinda thing where it goes from subtle to heavy to none. I think it's more of a feel thing that isn't really the kinda detail that is fundamental to a beginner tutorial. The vibrato, as mentioned, is there but not too wide or it starts to sound out of tune, especially in the hands of a less experienced player.
@@LicksOfTheBeast Thank you for your input into the question of the pedal note. After posting on here today, I went back and listened to "Where Eagles Dare," which is also typically presumed to have a pedal note on the main riff, except that here I can perceive it. Barely, but it seems to be there. Which makes me wonder what kind of recording technique Martin Birch must have employed that deemphasizes the palm-muted pedal notes on the album to such a degree that they are almost inaudible against the power chords. Normally, palm mutes of that kind would have been the most prominent thing about the riffs in question, even under milder distortion. The same thing applies to the chorus riff on "Die With Your Boots On," which has a heavy palm-muted pedal note that is inaudible on the original recording. I have been chasing this album's tone my whole life, and this is just one more mystery that puts this album in a league of its own and demonstrates why Piece of Mind is the gold standard of heavy metal production, especially when it comes to the guitars on the album. Note that Adrian plays the A power chord in the chorus as major bar chord on Maiden England, but I don't think it's there on the studio recording. Also, during the interlude, Adrian plays his harmony part using just the E and A strings, where he starts the harmony with a hammer-on (5th to 7th fret on the A string), then the next few notes are slightly delayed as he moves/lazily slides from one fret to the next and from one position to the next, and there's a big, wide vibrato on the root note (5th fret, E string), as well as an almost as big and wide vibrato on the C note (3rd fret, A string). This is one of the best showcases of Adrian's wide, elastic vibrato, which is even more on display on Maiden England. The feel of the interlude/harmony is very important, and the only way to get the mojo right is by adding some light slides that cause the harmony melody to drag a bit.
Extremely underrated track. One of my favourites. The melody in the interlude section is one of their best ever. The riff is groovy as hell. It's very rock n' roll, and yet the arrangement is very interesting still. And Bruce's performance is also very memorable. Great work as usual Nico!
