Daaamn perfect yet again! And putting that Janick "almost-signature" guitar to use I see. Now imagine a supergroup cover with other TH-cam artists, say Raphael Mendes as Bruce, maybe Hyottoko of Iron Virgin as Steve... the crème de la crème of Maiden cover artists
I was thinking the same thing the other day! Nico is by far the best Maiden guitar artist out there with unparalleled knowledge of the music. Would love for him to be able to play with Raphael and Hyottoko.
Paschendale is easily one of Maiden's best and most underrated songs. Probably the best example of invoking the subject of the song in music and a contender for their best war song. From the moment of Adrian's guitar tapping intro, it sounds like what they intended with the morse code effect, but also the calm before a battle. The second the crash chords hit, i imagine shells hitting the muddy ground and explosions and soldiers charging. The lyrics perfectly capture the horror of this battle and war in general. The start stop of the heavy and calm parts take you to the imagery of the breaks in the battle. Then daveys solo sounds like a heroic moment, but then Adrians comes in and the story takes a dramatic turn for the worse as if mass casualties have just amounted. Phenomenal cover of one of my favorite Maiden songs. Up the Irons, Nico!
Damn I get chills listening to Paschendale. Such an unbelievable song. The lyrics are superb and it's quite a heavy song also. Great stuff Nico, keep it up mate!-
I was just thinking the other day that we need more videos from the Dance of Death album:). Love the fact that with each guitar you change on the video we can hear more of what each player is doing, which one can not always hear/appreciate. Great job as always!
Thanks so much man! I agree the visuals help focus the hearing on certain things. Not sure about the science behind it but I guess it's the same as when you write funny lyrics over a song and your brain actually hears them 🤷🏻😄
What a ridiculous track. When that riff (Is that called a power chord riff? Excuse my musical ignorance :') ) at 4:42 starts, and the solos follow, wow. Just wow. And Janick's solo afterwards, good Lord man. Great playing, great cover!!
Excelente, elegante, perfecta y exacta interpretación!! no sé cómo le haces, pero los solos son asombrosamente precisos, además es difícil descifrar e interpretar los solos de Janick, pero lo haces a la perfección y ya con eso te ganas todo mi respeto.
Muchisimas gracias, amigo! Es certo que los solos de Janick pueden ser bastante difíciles de descifrar. Para mi, requieren mas esfuerzo. Por eso aprecio mucho tus palabras. 🙏
Absolutely and amazingly flawless, everything on point, what can I say? That´s why I´m here enjoying this channel, the best homage to my all-time fave band. What amazes me the most is how he nails the different solos with their particular feeling.
That’s totally brilliant to pull off the whole song and all three solos. Absolute class. What a talent and a Maiden expert of the hugest order maximum kudos
Another perfect guitar performance. You're videos are so good to watch. This is my favourite IM song, along with The Talisman and The Legacy. It's also contains my favourite song lyrics, along with Bob Dylan's Masters of War.
Everytime someone says Janick isn't good enough for Iron Maiden I want to punch the nose! Great showman and awesome musician! I love Paschendale! Thank you for this video! Janick's solo is superb here!
First Maiden song I ever heard and a solo I can proudly say I can now play... but that Janick solo further solidifies that he is defientley NOT a sloppy or bad player!!
Neither of these three solos is easy so kudos to you!! Janick can be sloppy (especially live) but so can Angus Young and he's rock royalty. I really like his style a lot 😊
One word...EPIC! Did I see a couple of sweeps in that last solo as well? I need to go and get my Dance of Death album out now :) Another musical masterpiece from Maiden.
@@LicksOfTheBeast I think it's also one of the few times I can remember him using the bar other than during live end-of-song dive-bombs. Great playing as usual! I love this song and listen to this record a lot. Face in the Sand right after it is another favorite. Possibly one of the "angriest" Maiden songs.
What a great song Paschendale is, and what a fantastic cover this is Nico. Watching you play those three solos note for note but with your own bit of style and flair, reminds me just how good Adrian, Dave and Janick are. Another excellent video by both of you, especially liked Sara's zoom in on Janick's awesome solo ( massive credit for nailing that one Nico!! ) Please keep doing these videos both of you, they are fantastic. Up the irons!!
The three beauties in action and a wonderful way for me to start the weekend! :-) One of my favourite songs from Dance of Death, though I didn't see this one coming. And what a cover once again! Everything is perfect (even the cool fc tshirt :-)) !
Incredible !!! you took a masterpiece of a very underrated Maiden album and you covered it, with all 3 guitar solos. As i' m going to clean some subscriptions here in youtube, i think, at this point, that i will let only you as channel subscribed :) UP THE IRONS
@@LicksOfTheBeast my pleasure. Was watching your Adrian's solo cover from Heaven Can Wait while sitting with my guitar and suddenly started to play backing track😀 Keep the great work man🤘
Stunning from beginning to end! It must be such a great feeling to conquer such an epic masterpiece! You captured the unique sound of all 3 of them. Sounds amazing and seems like it was also fun to play! 🎸🤘
Yes! As I commented to you on Instagram, was so looking forward to your version of this and you fully delivered! You needn't have worried about that Janick solo, sensational, but the Adrian one... perfection!
Paschendale almost reflects those whom have suffered in Ukraine……thank you for your guitar playing Nicko! Prayers to those who have suffered and will hopefully find peace🙏🏻
Excellent job! The way you played everything sounds just like it should. I think my favorite parts to this song are the intro/outro with the tapping and the bass moving underneath. I also like Adrian's solo. That is just fire on this song. Then again, honestly all the solos in this song are fire! And you nailed them for sure! Definitely one of the better songs from Iron Maiden during the 2000s in my opinion.
I love it, Brother 🤗 Great work as always😜 Can you please in the future put up whose section it is(whose part;) and what type of guitar 🎸 it is they/you play? It goes so quickly😉 Up the mighty Irons 🤘🤘🤘🤘
You play this perfectly. I am learning the solos now and Janek’s is super tough with both of those arpeggios that you so masterfully executed on this song. Excellent job 👍 👍
Thank you! I always have the hardest time trying to replicate Jan's style so it's definitely a work in progress. 😅 The best thing is always to go about it lick by lick until you eventually have the whole thing down. Good luck!
You’re welcome. You are great and have this song down. I always find Janek’s solos a bit tricky but I slowly get them when I play it one part at a time like you said. Also learning 22 Acacia Avenue. Wonderful job playing that one as well. Love all your videos and I think that if Maiden ever needed another guitarist then you are it my friend.
I remember listening to DoD back in 2004, brings back memories, Paschendale is one the best song of the album and the solos are insane, awesome cover Nico !
What excellent playing !! Man I wish this guy had such a passion for the guitar work of randy rhoads , I would really enjoy seeing him nail all of Randy’s stuff !
FAntastic job, mate! I stumbled on your channel a few days ago and absolutely love your content, especially your commentary. The well done full play throughs are just the icing on the cake! UP THE IRONS!
Hey man, first of all I'm glad you found me and thank you for subscribing! Second, it's so encouraging to know that the covers are received as an extra bonus rather than the focal point as I really want this channel to be all encompassing and not just about showing that I, too, can play Maiden's songs 😊 thanks again 🙏 Cheers!

Phenomenal cover of one of my favorite Maiden songs. Up the Irons, Nico!
The three gentlemen's guitar solos in this track are fucking legendary. I love how grandiose and epic they feel. So great. Amazing cover!
The dance of death solo tone is amazing
Ufff the janick's solo is so amazing
This was perfect. Paschendale is my #1 Maiden song - followed by Hallowed, Wrathchild, Rime, and The Longest Day.
same!
Damn I get chills listening to Paschendale. Such an unbelievable song. The lyrics are superb and it's quite a heavy song also. Great stuff Nico, keep it up mate!-
came for solo section, wasnt disapointed as expected. great job
their best new era song

Thanks so much, man! And yes, a power chord riff is exactly how I would describe that 😊
Seriously. Nothing complicated or wild happening there but it's such a powerful part.
One of their best songs. The chours reminds me of part after solo in "Heaven Can Wait".
The janick solo on this song its just perfect!
Excelente, elegante, perfecta y exacta interpretación!! no sé cómo le haces, pero los solos son asombrosamente precisos, además es difícil descifrar e interpretar los solos de Janick, pero lo haces a la perfección y ya con eso te ganas todo mi respeto.
Tienes razón respecto a los solos de Janick, son muy caóticos y espontáneos, pero acá suenan perfecto
Muchisimas gracias, amigo! Es certo que los solos de Janick pueden ser bastante difíciles de descifrar. Para mi, requieren mas esfuerzo. Por eso aprecio mucho tus palabras. 🙏
One of the best songs from Maiden and one of my favourite songs from 00s 🤘
A true epic
Absolutely and amazingly flawless, everything on point, what can I say? That´s why I´m here enjoying this channel, the best homage to my all-time fave band. What amazes me the most is how he nails the different solos with their particular feeling.
HUGE THANKS man! Much appreciated 🙏
"WOOW AMAZING...
GOOD JOB GUYS"
one of my absolute favorite Maiden songs. From the intro through the whole song, you gotta love every part til the last note.
My 2nd favorite maiden song behind stranger in a strange land… this is absolutely incredible and never get tired of jamming this one out
Noooo hombre , impresiónate,brutal, de los mejores covers que te he visto sin duda el mejor ejecutor de covers de Iron Maiden

Nice Fender guitar! New for me.

Dave's and Adrian's solos are sick!!! Respect Nico!
That Adrian solo 🤩
Very well played. One of the best Maiden songs, no doubt.
Awesome cover of an awesome song.
Brilliant. A lucky man you are Mr Nico 😃
That’s totally brilliant to pull off the whole song and all three solos. Absolute class. What a talent and a Maiden expert of the hugest order maximum kudos
Another perfect guitar performance. You're videos are so good to watch. This is my favourite IM song, along with The Talisman and The Legacy. It's also contains my favourite song lyrics, along with Bob Dylan's Masters of War.
Amazing song and amazing performance from you. That solo starting @4:53 gives me chills 👍
That tone, the melody, it hits!
Nice playing Niko!
It’s one of my favourite Maiden albums and a masterpiece, like this song is too-

He isn't, sorry
Thank you brother. A perfect performance of a perfect song 👏
Amazing Nico! I am glad that the 3 amigos' guitar are on action! Best!
First Maiden song I ever heard and a solo I can proudly say I can now play... but that Janick solo further solidifies that he is defientley NOT a sloppy or bad player!!
Neither of these three solos is easy so kudos to you!!
Janick can be sloppy (especially live) but so can Angus Young and he's rock royalty. I really like his style a lot 😊
Great playing on those solos!
One word...EPIC! Did I see a couple of sweeps in that last solo as well? I need to go and get my Dance of Death album out now :) Another musical masterpiece from Maiden.
Thanks! And yes Jan does do sweeps sometimes 😊

What an awesome song this is. And goes without saying a great cover 👌 👍
Adrian's solos are always so well structured, thought out, and fit the song like a glove!
Wow! This was bloody good! This song is a true master piece by Mr Smith❤️
another great track and performance mate. Also a nice T Shirt.
Thanks so much! 🙏🤘
This is great!, Dance of Death is in my top 3 Maiden albums
Brilliantly done! Again!

You truly are youtubes king of Maidens music. Amazing!
That's far too generous a compliment for me but I appreciate it greatly. Thank you! 🙏
So well played and great tone, congrats!!! Cheers from Portugal.
I consider this song to be one of Mr. Smith’s finest moments. Just breathtaking this song is!
What a great song Paschendale is, and what a fantastic cover this is Nico. Watching you play those three solos note for note but with your own bit of style and flair, reminds me just how good Adrian, Dave and Janick are.

Stunning from beginning to end! It must be such a great feeling to conquer such an epic masterpiece! You captured the unique sound of all 3 of them. Sounds amazing and seems like it was also fun to play! 🎸🤘
Perfect cover..... (no playing live) track!!!
Amazing. Love the use of multiple guitars to reflect who plays in the band. Awsome video editing as well, clean and concise.
Thank you so much!!
Yes! As I commented to you on Instagram, was so looking forward to your version of this and you fully delivered! You needn't have worried about that Janick solo, sensational, but the Adrian one... perfection!

He encontrado pocos covers de Paschendale, al igual que alguno del tema The legacy. Sin dudas, excelente!
Bellissima la Fender come quella di Janick 👏
Absolute perfection Nico!! Rock on 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I remember listening to DoD back in 2004, brings back memories, Paschendale is one the best song of the album and the solos are insane, awesome cover Nico !
Absolutely killed it man! I really like this song, and you totally did it justice
A true maiden fan
Very nice. You should try one of Bruce's tracks from chemical wedding or accident of birth some day.
What excellent playing !! Man I wish this guy had such a passion for the guitar work of randy rhoads , I would really enjoy seeing him nail all of Randy’s stuff !
