Iron Maiden - "Alexander The Great" cover

[@Sicksoullleee]

dave murray's solo in this (6:30) must be kept in a museum or something idk this piece of art must never be forgoten

[@rohantiwari7801]

Murray´s solos always gives goosebumps.

[@user-yn9zn9zu8f]

As a Greek, i am very proud that one of my favourite bands made this incredible song. Thank you steve.

[@sidecaster]

Definitely one of Maidens many masterpieces

[@michaeldouglas6008]

Believe it or not, some older people who saw them on tour on ‘86 still walk through life with this song playing in their heads!!!!! Well done Sir!

[@littielesbians]

It's terrible this song was never played live. Anyway, great job nice cover.

[@epasternak4206]

Agreed , I wish they would play it live too , maybe they will suprise us one day.

[@iainwhite3476]

I think an amazing tour for Maiden would be called all the long uns. Rime of the ancient mariner, Alexander etc all the long epic tracks no hits to speak of

[@petershortland478]

I heard a rumour that Adrian doesn't remember the solo but surely they could replay it for another tour

[@adicooli1711]

Just imagine Eddie with Alexander's armour and sword on a horse leading a phalanx. Would be amazing.

[@peterjohno38]

Spot on. Just like most of this album. The best and heaviest. Hardly any good live video of the tour either. Unreal !

[@thekillzonegamer]

The sound is almost the same.. Amazing!

[@rockdog2843]

Man you are an excellent guitar player. Yes im jealous! You do Maiden great justice.Adrian would be proud.

[@kernzyp]

OMFG! That was awesome, my son! You done Dave AND Adrian. I met them all, and they were awesome. This video is awesome. Subbed and belled. I fkn love it. I live in Hackney. ;)

[@KevinCCucumber]

This song has some of Maiden's best guitar work ever. Sad it was never played live. Good job, especially on Dave's second solo

[@ivankrushensky]

Until now!

[@KevinCCucumber]

@@ivankrushensky man am I glad that they finally did this one live. they nailed it! now if they would play deja vu live as well

Just found your channel today looking to see how other people played a certain part of another song (Only the Good Die Young), but wow - man you are really good. Especially this song, totally nailed the solos. Everyone else has said it, but your playing is top notch! Thanks for putting these videos out there - very inspiring.

[@AshutoshSingh-ur7vi]

Extreme talent, bro!! Masterpiece.

[@renzo4296]

Iron Maiden are my favorite metal band of all time, I've always loved this song so much and this entire album, I'm surprised they never played this live, maybe they will surprise us before they're finally done. I watched a concert clip and the audience was screaming Alexander the great and Bruce told them they weren't playing it, instead he sang the chorus Alexander the great for them😂

[@user-yn9zn9zu8f]

they haven't played this for irredeemable reasons. As these skopje claim Greek history. and thus they cannot play it without causing.

[@RaoulVega]

awesome! wonderful solos!

[@QuentinDenisot]

You nailed Dave's solo, I wish I could play as well as you ! Keep rocking ;)

[@Carlostrong1969]

The best of cover!

[@knoxtaurigen]

Adrian said Dave couldn’t remember his solo too.

[@pablosiancas7348]

Verdaderamente fabuloso....lo he escuchado con atencion x q es una de mis canciones favoritas Si te he de poner alguna pega es la solapacion de las dos guitarras en el segundo solo.....pero vamos, es maravilloso escucharte Esto son muchas horas....

[@thequietgamer2743]

I can say he possibly uses an Ibenez 6 string guitar with an active pick up system (possibly why it sounds so bright and clean to the ear) and the usage of heavy gain overdrive, because I doubt distortion would allow individual notes to sound so clean when the effect is on. Whether I am right, or wrong, I can not determine that. Though I would be interested in knowing he setup.

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

ok let me answer your question: the guitar is Jackson, dont know which one exactly, but looks like some old Dinky model. I sold this guitar few years ago. Pickups were pretty good sounding, they were passive though. The sound is all about amplitube 4 settings. I think i used tubescreamer before some marshall amp and chorus + delay efect for somewhere in time album + some equalization obviously. dont have any presets though, because I usually modified the setup before recording next track, and i didnt save any setups

[@maximilianodelrio]

Charlie's Maiden Covers so you just used an oversrive pedal? How can you get such heavy sounds with it? And do you think I could get a similar sound with an MXR Super Badass Distortion and a MARSHALL MG30GFX amp?

[@thequietgamer2743]

@@CharliesMaidenCovers I appreciate your time to answer my interest. Thank you.

[@nickharland3795]

Brilliant song!! It was so nice to see them play this live back in September. Awesome cover man. What gauge of strings do you use? 9's? Thanks.

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

thanks, im using 10s
