Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden Guitar Cover

[@tabushcamp]

How it should be played, harmonies perfect, great attention to detail and you did the song justice. I salute you sir.

[@liou2665]

Probably the greatest Metal song ever written, covered perfectly. Magnificent !!!! Greetings from another Niko (Greece)

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Efharisto polì!! Much appreciated my friend!

[@CC-qb9sm]

Fantastic performance of one of the greatest heavy metal songs of all time! 🤘🤘🤘

[@lordsofrocknroll]

Soooo..... TOP!!! Up The Irons!!!!!!!!!

[@imikewillrockyou]

I'm a guitarist and I had that LP almost the day it came out when I was in High School. I think it was 1982. The entire LP WOWED ME! But strangely, even though I've played guitar since I was in Jr. High School, I never tried to learn how to play this song, I just sat down and played a bit of it after watching you. It never seemed worth it to learn the song because every band I was ever in not one of those guys could hope to sing this song, not even close.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

I just saw this comment now after 6 months so I apologize for the late reply but yeah finding a singer who could do it justice is no easy feat! Still a worthwhile song to learn for the guitar parts, composition, and arrangement 😊

[@imikewillrockyou]

@@LicksOfTheBeast Oh for sure, after all these years I still love this music.

[@PetterDragland]

Wow, you've absolutely nailed the guitar sound of Number of the Beast. It sounds so much like the original recording.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks man! Really appreciate it 🤜🤛

[@alessandrobottelli7980]

Licks, i have no words, your precision is amazing!!!! You are the best guitarist, and your cover is simply fantastic !!!! Great , great, great, you are the giant!!

[@jaquelinerocha2586]

One of the most iconic heavy metal songs, thank you 👏

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank YOU!! 🙏

[@gabriellemontet4325]

Amazing!! I really like what you’ve done with the set up of the video and the editing. It’s great to be able to see close-up both Dave’s and Adrian’s parts. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you!!! I'm definitely trying to make the videos a little more fun to watch than just one view of me sitting there 😄 I love the dual guitar interplay myself so I figured it would be cool to see the way the different parts work together. At some point I'll tackle some 3-part harmonies as well 😁

[@TheSeraphim75]

Man I dont think Ive listened to any song more number of times in my entire life.....The perfect song of my metal youth. Great work brotha

The greatest song ever! Thank you!

[@canyoncarver]

Absolute gems of a song. A great cover. Thanks for the closeups; they will help me with the solos. I was doing some parts on different strings and realize that your fingering works and sounds better than mine. So thanks for that too!

[@tedfordhyde]

Excellent work on all parts! Outstanding! Keep up the fine videos, sir.

[@cindarella1100]

WOW! you are amazing 👩 👍 this piece here is, I think, one of the greatest pieces of harmony and synchropation of guitar work I know of, so many artist have said that these early maiden years had such profound influence on thier careers, David was in his early 20's when he helped compose this piece, UNBELIEVABLE! I think this was Martin Birch who mastered this album in the studio, great job 👩 😄 😆 👍 look at all these posts, 😂 😀 😉 they all say the same thing, it's unamunous, (The Daily Beast) From: Scranton, Pennsylvania

[@matthewjames1394]

Absolutely brilliant, that's pure talent 👏

[@juanneman]

Absolutely brilliant and the solos spot on, you are the best expressing the essence of the band.

[@marcosquintella4117]

Love it. Thank’s a lot.

[@scorn4998]

Great job Nico, thats simply stuning. You are probably the only person, that noticed a little pause in each first repetition of the main lick (starting at 1:20). I haven't seen any1 paying atention to this little detail. Thank you!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

It's an important detail! 😬 But it also depends on how familiar one really is with the song... Hopefully these videos help more casual listeners discover something more in these songs and gain a deeper appreciation for them along the way 😃

[@mr.writer2996]

One dislike? what a joke. brilliant as always. I realise Dave and Adrian have developed as players and naturally improvise but these original solos have always resonated with me. they fit really well. might have also formed the basis for some of the aces high solo licks... what is your favourite improvised versions of these soulos? I love Adrians fairly close to the original on Maiden England (essential viewing for Maiden fans)

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks man! Dave's pull off lick is just a pattern he likes to use so he did it on both Hallowed and Aces solos... With variations of it on other solos as well 😃 I love both the Maiden England and LAD versions and I kinda wish he'd still be doing it live because I'm sure he would be doing something really cool with it these days!

[@josemena9699]

Sublime. ¡Echo de menos escucharla en concierto otra vez!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Gracias! Ojala El proximo año.... 🤘

[@larrymacgyver1497]

Man , my uncle and I love to play maiden together he loves iron maiden , he is blind but still plays extremely good , so learning new stuff for him is hard but me having sight can see what your playing and am finally good enough to grasp what I see and translate to him . Thank you for the excellent videos . (Especially the Alexander the Great clean part before the solo , learning that really made us both happy !

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

😢😢😢😢... goosebumps. Amazing... I enjoyed it.. thank you so much for showing the right way to play it.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you so much! I played the main riff a little off as I kind of went on autopilot and played it the way I had originally learned it, by starting on the & of 1...so the first two notes of the riff are wrong. Everything else is correct though 🙂

[@kellyvanvoorhees8950]

Badass!

[@FatemeKhodayari]

Wow this is so precise both in tone and style. Perfect playing! You killed it man! Hallowed is a favourite song of many people including me as well. Just the recent live performances almost never do it for me. Bruce almost always sounds way better than 80s but the second solo... Not to hate on Janick, I love the guy, but I truly miss Adrian's solo on this one and some others. Anyway, keep up the good work :)

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you! It's definitely a favourite of mine as well. It's a song i never get bored with even after listening to and playing it for 30+ years ☺️ I know what you mean about the live versions. I think it's Janick always going one bar too long that takes away from the power of the transition to next part.

[@FatemeKhodayari]

@@LicksOfTheBeast I always get the feel of "anxiety, pressure, anger" from Dave's solo and then Adrian's solo expressed the "sadness, acceptance, a little bit of final stress, relief (which will come after the solos at the end of the song)" part for me and when Janick plays it I don't get any of that. Maybe my interpretations are wrong but to me it's just like more stress and anger, maybe due to Janick's tone and phrasing. So I just say: "this doesn't suit the song"

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

@@FatemeKhodayari I don't think they planned it like that but that is a really good way of interpreting that solo section! The vibe coming out of Adrian's solo is very bittersweet and a shreddy solo really does feel out of place. I feel the same with Revelations actually.

[@FatemeKhodayari]

@@LicksOfTheBeast Thanks and I agree with you. In addition to Hallowed, Janick's versions of Revelations and Heaven Can Wait aren't my cup of tea. 🤷🏻‍♀️
