Acoustic & Chipmunk Versions Of Maiden Classics!

I return once more with another all-time classic track that Maiden unfortunately never got round to playing live which is a real shame, because I know it would have rocked heavily in concert! We can only hope against hope that they pull it out of the bag for a future 'History of Iron Maiden' tour, but I won't hold my breath! :)

It is the ever-wonderful...

'Judas Be My Guide'!!!

Hope you all enjoy it!

It's the end of an era...the 'Thingfish's acoustic versions of all the Blaze songs' era that is :)

I took the decision not to bother making a recording of Maiden's cover of The Who's 'My Generation', not only because the original track is pretty uninspiring and very repetitive, but also because the Maiden version doesn't really add anything 'Maidenic' to it, it's just a straight cover. I doubt that I could have added anything to the song, especially if the greatest band in the world doesn't really manage it! :lol:

That said, we come to my final Blaze-era track and it's one that is hardly ever mentioned on any Maiden forum I've been to, which is a crime because it is a superb little rocker. I suppose one reason it's not talked about much is that it was only available on the picture disc of 'Man On The Edge' or on the 2-cd Japanese version of 'The X Factor' and simply not that many Maiden fans have it, I guess.

Anyway, if you don't have it, I hope my version makes you go and listen to the original which is, of course, far better! :) Here it is...

'I Live My Way'!

Well, I'm certainly surprised to hear that, Ben :) No-one else has said that in the 18 months I've been working on this project :) Glad you liked it, though!
 
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 constructed, but I like to think I've given it a good go! :) So, here it is...

'Moonchild'!

Thanks, worldslaver! Yes, I'm going to Twickenham in July. Can't wait!
 
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 lot of work has gone into it, but I like to think it's been worth it. I hope you do to, and that you all enjoy it!

Here is....'The Legacy'!!!

:shock:

One of my favourite songs :banana: That was really good 8) My little niece was dancing to the chipmunk version LOL
 
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

Sorry she's only just turned 3 LOL

But she's got good taste, when she gets to my house she always asks me to put my music on 8) Can't blame her, my sister loves Bon Jovi LOL
 
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:
 
I hope they are still going when she's old enough to go to gigs, I know she'll have been to a Bon Jovi gig, I'd love to take her to show her how it's done properly :D
