If anyone is interested, I've finally got round to putting all 114 acoustic Maiden cover tracks I've recorded up on YouTube rather than keeping them tucked away on my old webpage. You can find all the tracks at: http://www.youtube.com/thingfishy Some of you may remember but, for those who...

Thankyou very much, Wolfmorgue, it means a lot to me when people like what I've done :) I'm about to start the next track (after an embarrassingly long hiatus of over two months!!) and your comments will help motivate me to get it done a.s.a.p! No, I played all these tracks on my own, there...

No, I haven't given up recording! I am still going, albeit at a rather slow pace. However, like the wise old tortoise, I'll get there eventually! This time I've gone for another classic b-side, the quite incredible... 'That Girl'!!! http://media.putfile.com/That-Girl---Acoustic-Version...

You may have been wondering "Where in the heck the latest installment of the long-running Thingfish acoustic Maiden project!?", and well you might! It's (disgracefully) been two months since the last song was finished, and I don't really have too many excuses for the delay except that it had to...

Yes, it's me, back after a 2 month hiatus brought about by a change in computer from Windows to Mac and subsequent problems in recording, coupled with a desire to spend my time playing Grand Theft Auto IV :) Have you been missing my regular deliveries of Maidenic goodness? :) Anyway, this...

Good to hear you are converting her over from the dark side. I look forward to hearing about your escapades into initiating her fully into Maiden! :banana:

Hehe, that's great, Wicky, always glad to hear about someone else enjoying the Chipmunk versions as much as I do :) How old is your niece? It would be even better if she is an adult :) :D

Old Thingfish is back again with the next installment of his Maiden Acoustic project! It's taken the best part of a month to record this 9/1/2-minute-long song and it's been a combination of all my instruments: acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, mandolin and my electric guitar played unplugged :) A...

It's time for another one of the tracks Maiden should be playing on their current tour, at least in place of FOTD which has no business being on the setlist! Here's the incredible... 'Stranger In A Strange Land'!! http://media.putfile.com/Stranger-In-A- ... ic-Version :shock:

Thanks, worldslaver! Yes, I'm going to Twickenham in July. Can't wait!

Thanks, worldslaver :) Just finished off the next new song in my acoustic Maiden project and, for this one, I had to break out my best Cockney accent for a classic vocal interjection by Steve Harris...see if you can spot it in the wonderful... 'Die With Your Boots On'...

Well, I return from another lengthy hiatus, caused mainly by a busy time at work and then Christmas, with another track for my acoustic Maiden project that will hopefully have been worth the wait. It's certainly a tough one to do acoustically as the original is so perfect and amazingly...

The part that sends shivers down your spine is, no doubt, the bit in the chorus where Bruce sings "Reach Ouuuuuuut!!", but it's Adrian that does all the vocal work that makes that one line from Bruce pay off so brilliantly. A superb song!

It's time for a track to celebrate the upcoming Maiden tour with a classic from the World Slavery Tour era, and what better than the momentous opening number from Powerslave that always sends shivers up my spine... 'Aces High'!!! http://media.putfile.com/Aces-High---Acoustic-Version...

It's time for another classic 'Number Of The Beast' track to be added to my ongoing acoustic Maiden project, and on this occasion I've gone for an often neglected gem that was so good that, despite not being on an album initially, Maiden just had to play it live. I refer, of course, to the...
