Iron Maiden: Killers - FULL Guitar Cover

[@rhs7964]

R.I.P. Paul Di´Anno

[@mephisto656]

Killers got to be one of Maiden's most aggressive songs, i f***** love the songs vibe and Paul's vocals in it. the lines "the mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night" still gives me the chills!

[@unknowntosociety01]

One of but id say Purgatory & Transylvania has it beat

[@mephisto656]

@@unknowntosociety01 i see your point but both purgatory and transylvania both, while fast, makes more extensive use of major key melodies and stuff, making them "happier" in a way

[@DiegoDeschain]

I love Killers from start to finish. Such a great album!

[@cindarella1100]

Both Adrian & David, probably Steve too, are gonna see this video, somehow, while they are surfing the web, I'd ❤️ to be there when they watch it, during the 80's they performed this piece more than I can count, this video is going to put a smile on thier faces because of the fond memories they have of the early maiden years, Bless You, 👩 from: Scranton, Pennsylvania

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

I don't know that they've ever seen any of my vids but I absolutely love your positivity! 🤘🤘

[@cindarella1100]

Of coarse they have, Adrian even lives in Canada 👩

[@MrMvidz]

10/10 on the guitar work!

[@SuperKakaras]

I'm a Somewhere/Seventh Son fan, but this album is a major, major go. The mother of speed, trash, power, and other subgenres. Killer job, as always🎸Thanks🙏

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Same for me.... 😊 And thank you!

[@wolfencopter]

3:06 to 3:10 that part of the solo will NEVER fail to hit the YES part of my CNS!!!! Awesome work!!!

[@rancantrell]

I don’t know how anyone could do it any better.👍

[@AdventuresofJoeandSmokinGoats]

...and with this I ponder on what kind of mind blowing genius Harry is in his song writing. Can you imagine the scope of this man's knowledge of the guitar fretboard, his imagination and outside the box thinking when it comes to writing such groundbreaking offerings? He practically wrote their whole debut album that was one of the most groundbreaking albums in history of any genre and then he follows it up with such songs as Killers and other absolute gems like Murders in the Rue Morgue off the same album. Then for about 50 years he kept bringing gem after gem to the table and is still doing it to this very day with offerings such as When the wild wind blows and Hell on Earth. This man IMHO is the greatest heavy metal song writer of our time. How lucky are we that we live simultaneously through the same decades of time on Earth as this absolute genius? I for one never want this man to retire and never want to see the closing of Iron Maiden as a band. Great and perfect job on the cover Nico. You do it and Maiden great justice. Cheers mate, UP THE IRONS forever.

[@bluesdude1194]

Bravo, I love this song, I think it’s the best title track of all the albums.

[@rogerr4469]

Just awesome! I Love Dave's solo in this song.

[@douglasgugel2752]

Iron maiden were pure genius and Paul dianno was an awesome singer way underrated !!!

[@jeffglawe3590]

Simply incredible job on this one. Those first two albums are still my favorite after all these years. They were just so raw and unlike anything I'd ever heard when I first heard them. I love every song on each of those, but my favorite of all will always be "Remember Tomorrow". That one just stood out so much for me. Second was easily this song, "Killers". Loved both Adrian and Murray's solos so much on this one. You really nailed that tone, too!!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you! I just went with a bit more modern sound on the guitars, also because without the same speakers and without Martin Birch here, recreating the original sound would be next to impossible 😅 Glad you enjoyed it!! Those two first albums are just awesome 🤘

[@jeffglawe3590]

@@LicksOfTheBeast I still almost can't believe that is all you playing on this video. Simply amazing job. And I know that track like the back of my hand, too. You truly got as close as humanly possible on this one. 🤘

[@girolamolorusso]

wonderful

[@ReZhorw]

Awsome dude! I can't believe how great Dave's solo is. Must be one of my favourites. Your tone is perfectly dialed in as well!

[@GortholMormegil]

Back in the early '00s we always used to cover this iconic song with my death/black metal band. So fun, pure wild energy!

[@OldGuitarMan]

Great, Nico! You’re killing me with that Dave solo in this. Nice nice nice 🙌🏻

[@ioannist.5568]

You love your craft. Congratulations! The memories this album brings to me are so precious. I started playing the bass when I heard this song and Murders in the Rue morgue many years ago.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you very much!!

[@Clansman1969]

Just a brilliant song would love to hear it live once more

[@PatTheRipper-zb7oj]

It’s so interesting to see the contrast of Dave and Adrian’s playing styles reflected in this cover Dave’s solo your body is rigid and tight Adrian’s solo your body loosens up and you really feel it come across Just like they both played Great cover and instructional videos Appreciate you brother

[@markcbb]

Amazing stuff

[@willman100]

Perfection. Wow.

[@CC-qb9sm]

“Killer” track and a brilliant guitar cover performance by Nico!! 🤘🤘🤘

Also, definitely feeling guitar envy for the gold top, but I already have a few Les Pauls and it would be ridiculous to get another! 😂

Lavoro incredibile! Sia di editing che di contenuto, le tue parti di chitarra suonano benissimo!

[@_pedrohenriquebp]

I’ve never paid attention on how nice this guitar work is

[@osamaqtaitat]

Great!! Actually no one from what i’ve seen on KZbin play the solo like the original except you and some very very few others!! You are great! Maiden songs’ structures mostly are very creative, interesting unique, intriguing, beautiful and effective!

[@albertoboccali7437]

What a masterpiece. Best lp, best title track, best instrumental, best Derek artwork, best bside, and finally best line up.

[@jjadr]

Excellent work Nico! So far, this is my favourite of all your full covers along with Innocent Exile. Awesome!

[@ricperry8743]

Great work. Thanks for highlighting Smith's rhythm parts, I wasn't aware of that particular nuance.

[@pjburke131]

Wow. One of the underrated IM tunes! First time I saw them was on 7th Son. Didn’t play anything from Killers and then they played this later in the tour at Birmingham. Awesome!

@@LicksOfTheBeast A Killer song, no doubt,jaja thanks a lot!

[@mathias6423]

Wow I have really slept on the Killers album and never really listened through / enjoyed it til a few weeks ago, now I am listening to it all the time, what an awesome album I have slept on. Such a good evolution from the first album, Dennis was pretty good on the first album but what a difference it made being the first album with the Dave&Adrian guitar duo. I recognize a lot of solos on the album are from Dave, what songs have some of the better Adrian solos on the Killers album ? Even though it is kind of simple, the duo guitar lead playing from both Adrian och Dave in the end of the Murders Morgue song is truly awesome. Paul Di'Anno's voice fits really good on these first two albums as well. I heard Bruce perform them live, while he is doing the first albums justice live, Pauls voice fits them better in my opinion, just because they were made for him probably. I bet Bruce is doing them more justice than Paul would on the albums that were made for Bruce if they were to switch since Bruce has a wider register, but we will never know. CHEERS!

[@omanuelsa]

Hey my friend! Thank you so much! Can you make a video about Adrian Smith and Project SIlver and Gold album solos?

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

I'd love to talk about that someday as I like the Silver and Gold album very much. However, the interest for that material is not very high so it's a video I plan on making a little further down the road when the channel has a little broader reach.

[@omanuelsa]

@@LicksOfTheBeast that is a great plan. its so sad that silver and gold is not on Spotify anymore. i listen to that album so much and i just love The Lion solo! i dont understand quite well how Adrian did it, but his style is so unique and different from Maiden in this album. I think that is so hard to achieve!

the only real indication is in his tone, and even then still just BARELY- this man was born to play Maiden, haha

Thank you! I did go with a slightly more modern and more saturated tone just to beef it up a tad, but still tried to keep the original vibe without too much gain or compression. Thanks a ton! 😊
