[@jayallen5945]

Incredible work and performances!

[@misterasterisco5217]

por que chucha se esfuerzan en hacer acustico lo que nunca ha sido acustico? por que no hay maiden en unplugged? porque no es meant to be, duh!

[@miguelmp289]

Magistral!

[@silviobal]

@@misterasterisco5217 a música é ótima e cada um se expressa como pode. E eles podem, melhor que qualquer outro

[@inakigazte9329]

Impressive work, man!! great playing... well done!!!

[@silviobal]

My favorite: Powerslave.

[@krischanlive]

Cant even begin to imagine the amount of work, time and dedication it took to adapt the whole album. Actually insane 🤯

[@Defleshuary]

It's incredibly impressive!

[@CarcPazu]

Yep, they fake playing it in front of the camera perfectly. As you see, there are no microphone anywhere around to record them. It's been recorded in a studio and now they're faking it in front of the camera.

[@Defleshuary]

@@CarcPazu that's obvious. They still arranged it and recorded it. Even if "faking" it, it's obvious they know what they're doing.

[@krischanlive]

@@CarcPazu As Rick said, that's not the point bro. They did this 👌

[@charliemickey100]

Glued to it, just thought I’d have a quick listen and ended up listening/watching the whole thing. Seriously amazing and happens to be my favourite maiden album 👌🏼

[@nomandad2000]

How cool would it be if Maiden took these guys on the road, and had them open, to get the crowd excited! I bet it would go over kick ass!

[@ELPCOTILLION-SD1970]

Playing An Entire IRON MAIDEN LP Straight Through Acoustically...These Chaps Deserve A Prestigious Award Indeed...

[@msgesus4518]

It's definitely not recorded straight though

[@darkestfugue]

as a guitar player, it is absolutely fascinating watching songs like 2 minutes to midnight played flamenco style, incredible stuff

Nylon Maiden é o melhor presente de natal que eu poderia receber!!!

[@leoantonio]

Maiden inspires millions and millions of human beings.

[@leokimvideo]

Phew, amazing. Do we get a classically dressed Eddie on stage with this

[@amigolibertario308]

I think the duellist is the most underrated iron maiden song, I wish they play live some day, flash of the blade & sun and steel too

[@leovivas3799]

Viva la libertad!

[@blakebowden6587]

I agree! The Duellists is the most underrated. I would also include The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and Sea of Madness.

[@picblick]

They are underrated? This is my favourite album and your songs are my top 3.

[@modelbass]

Sadly I don't think it will ever happen. Hopefully on the future past tour coming up we will hear some rare gems live like loneliness... etc from somewhere in time

[@travisschaefer5286]

I agree, in fact I think that the group in general are underrated. I know people who can appreciate their talent but most people just laugh when you say the name Iron Maiden… which is a total sin. What an incredible collaboration of musicians, and talented song writing. There are only a few bands that have as much material and considerable talent

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

13:50 the subscribe bubble pop was perfectly timed HILARIOUS

[@The-Music-Archive]

One of the most incredible versions. The whole album, what dedication.

[@davidbaron8330]

This is phenomenal. VERY SAD TO HEAR OF BEN WOODS' DEATH. He was an amazing player/talent. Glad there are players like Thomas to carry on doing Dio's work. 😉

[@rodrigo.gibson]

FAAAACK!! No way man??? BEn Woods gone??? What happened? Illness or accident??? I'm gutted! rest his soul.

[@Hupomone]

1. Bravo to these folks. That's a lot of talent and effort. 2. This WORKS. 3. Which speaks to the quality of the original music. Well done, all around.

[@micahmeyer6462]

What a tremendous adaptation of Back in the village!

[@ThomasZwijsen]

Thank you!

[@petergabriel1606]

You should be the warm up for every Maiden concert!

[@itkojecockot]

"Flash Of The Blade" was actually pretty phenomenal 👍👍

I’ve never been as impressed in my life as I am right now. Bravo!!

[@standbyme6343]

Just another proof that Iron Maiden is a mythical band . AMAZING AND OUTSTANDING COVERS . Thank you!

[@marczwi]

Beware, this is a scam and NOT a comment by @ThomasZwijsen!

[@marczwi]

Problem solved!

[@shahedhasnat]

Fantastic!! Dave Murray's solo sounds so good on violin as if they were originally written for a violin!!

[@mushroombreather]

It still has the same energy as the original work. Absolutely awesome!

[@caljerm]

This might be the greatest thing I've ever heard

[@austinwoods466]

43:19 I can see the explosions that go off in the live show in my mind. Great work.

[@johnshmulsky5973]

the duelist is just amazing. bravo. thank you and thanks steve

[@DannyGodhouse]

Oh my God... All Powerslave. All acoustic... My dream.

[@oneirosgames]

16:35 Gott!! The Duelists are amazing !! The solos are awesome !!!

I put this album on my christmas wish list when it came out. My mom refused to buy it for me. I will make sure she listens to this. Amazing playing!!

What a freaking great thing to wake up to Christmas morning! Up the Nylons!

[@VinceverevecniV]

Wowwww… 2 minutes to midnight is mind blowing…

[@ViperofVic]

Came here for Powerslave. Don't care about Maiden, but love Anaal Nathrakh, whose cover of this song is really good. Also, awesome renditions!

[@osamaqtaitat]

“Don’t care about Maiden” lol! And listened to their song big lol!

[@RetroMusicTube]

Phenomenal. Just Phenomenal.

I watched you together with Ben Woods in Sofia! It was great night!

[@emayfrit]

Wow!! What an Outstanding, Fantastic, Marvelous and Sensational Masterpiece of Audio & Video Artwork!!!💥!!! God Bless Ben Woods!!!💥!!!

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

This is amazing

[@availablelight999]

So dam amazing!! This shows how beautiful Maiden really is. You nailed the true emotion!!

[@CyphersBasement]

Of all the songs I listened to completely, it was Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I have a bit of a ritual I like to do, where I turn off all the lights and tell everyone to be quiet when the story break comes up. I REQUIRE IT, THE SILENCE, IT MUST BE MINE.

[@Brigand231]

Oh $%^& I didn't know Ben passed. The last I remember was him requesting a positive thought group healing kind of thing. He was more than a guitarist - though he was amazing at that. He had a great sense of humor that came out in his videos, especially "Breakin' the Law". He took time to respond to my comments like he was an old friend that was happy to hear from me.

[@rafap.6330]

Friend. This blow my mind. How much time, love, hate you give to IT. I know how to read TAB ...but this... This is magic. Talent and heart. Stay strog brother from Poland

[@colinwade448]

Greetings from outback Australia Love this rendition of a classic album . Congratulations Stunning work 👏

[@harvestblades]

Powerslave is such a tremendous album & had the greatest impact on me as well as being the first album (yes, vinyl) I bought as a 7 or 8 year old back in 84-85. Being an album even now nearly forty years later I never tire of Losfer Words is one of my favorite tracks & always great for putting a smile on my face.

[@gianlucatarchi]

I pezzi di questo irraggiungibile album dei Maiden, suonati con strumenti acustici e così riarrangiati, rendono ancor più piena giustizia alla maestria delle composizioni. Insuperata grandezza nel metal classico, grazie Steve (e Thomas, of course) 💎

[@murilocarvalho2903]

Amazing!! I my opinion this is que second best CD of Iron Maiden.

[@Sumpfkrebs]

Haahaha, the idea with the powerplant in the background of 2.M.t.M. is genius 😄 Edit: same with the bay in Back in the Village (The Prisoner story with the island), the cemetery in Powerslave, and - of course - the sea shore regarding the poem for Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

[@sburgos9621]

Oh man this is all levels of awesome!
