IRON MAIDEN - Sign Of The Cross (Acoustic) by Thomas Zwijsen - Nylon Maiden

[@ThomasZwijsen]

Thank you for watching this huge masterpiece of an Iron Maiden song! Described by Nicko as the most complex one they ever made... I hope you enjoy this solo version! I've had the pleasure to play this live many times with my friend and former Iron Maiden singer Blaze Bayley, and I believe this song truly deserves a place amongst the other Maiden classics. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for much more Nylon Maiden!

Both the original song and your rendition of it are masterpieces.

[@jari7018]

What can I say only that. This is epic and classic song and stand same bodium than all maiden master songs

[@bdejong182]

wanna buy the russian holiday album its sold out mi guess :(

[@useruser-rn7zj]

Never stop doing classic metal Flametal covers you are blessed survivor !!!

[@MultiSven17]

One thing That I love about this guy is that he does not discriminate any Maiden era , up the irons

[@clintwestwood4109]

You’ve got to do Brighter Than a Thousand Suns! That would be genius!

[@useruser-rn7zj]

Never stop with the FLAMETAL treasure Ben Woods founder had that wish and we love this !!!!

[@korvkioskshelvete]

X-Factor is my go to Maiden album. I never get tired of it.

[@bdejong182]

and virtual X dem both classic treusuries! :) wanna hear thomas do KILL & DESTROY .. ;)

[@samwilson9]

I always thought of this song as a complete masterpiece of musical understanding and talent. When played in a band of 6 with every single note hit is breathtaking. But to hear the whole thing played on one guitar, with so many of the layers all picked up on a single instrument shows amazing mastery of the guitar and music. When you have listened all manner of versions of this song played by Iron Maiden thousands of times and can pick out every single tone, you understand that to perform this on a single instrument like this is utterly sensational.

[@mateapuljic]

Woooow! It emphesizes how amazing and ultimately classic Iron Maiden is. This song will be as Mozart is to us, to the future generations!

[@FabioPilgrim]

Você é o Pelé do violão. 👏👏👏

[@cosmevitomonteiro4378]

Sim....esse rapaz é..ótimo !!! Yes .this guy is magnificent ...fine

[@catjudo1]

Sign of the Cross is one of my favorite Maiden songs, and how neat to hear it performed on a nylon stringed guitar! You must feel such satisfaction at being able to learn and play songs like this, as you should, and the rest of us mortals get to enjoy the fruits of your work. Please keep up the great work; I just bought two of your albums and look forward to more!

[@stubones]

I love this album and I'm glad Blaze sang on it. The mood of the album, even down to the artwork suited him perfectly. Sure Bruce is a better singer for Iron maiden, but this is Blaze's album and he desrves the credit for doing an outstanding job. Virtual XI is a different story.... Great job on this Thomas, it's beautiful.

[@mutantkoffee]

Nice... for me its never a competition I just love the three Di Anno, Blaze and Bruce.. everyone has his own style and contributed very well to Maiden... I dont get the negativity of some people and blaming the artist's work. I enjoy a lot this music.

[@marcusstoica]

@@mutantkoffee Agree. No need to say who was best. All I know is that all three singers contributed so much to the band and I am grateful. I can hear Blaze's impact all the way through to the newer albums and it was a great direction the band went in. The songs are really meaningful to me and I think it's because of the direction that maiden went in after X factor

[@pescandonaponte2095]

thank u Thomas , i closed my eyes and only feel that song

[@AkshayKumarSingh91]

Great work Thomas! Most underrated album of Maiden. Up the Irons 🤘

[@solarpumpkin9709]

Are you serious, Thomas??? How can you ever top this? Amazing tremolo!

[@angelomoshopoulos4369]

Every Iron Maiden arrangement from Thomas is a masterpiece.

[@MrRodrigogrillo]

You are the man. Play when the wild wind blows

[@RedCraft33]

You should write in the description the beautiful places where you shoot your videos!

[@behzadasgharpour661]

.........number one..........awesome..............

[@nickjohnson3622]

I could listen to this guy all day and night. Actually, I have been lately. Bravo my good man!

[@ThomasZwijsen]

Awesome, thanks!!

[@jacek-6546]

Fantastic!!! ❤❤❤

[@wallacelopes6113]

Fico impressionado com a sua habilidade e destreza com o instrumento....parabéns a vc, que Deus permita que este dom se prolongue por toda vida...Lopes!!!

[@timurcircas3575]

Best song! Best melodic.

[@BobbyPVZ]

The first version hit harder💚 This one is ''better'' France here 🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@jean-marcblanchet2270]

Jusqu'à ce que j'écoute Thomas, je ne savais pas s'il était possible de transcrire Sign of the Cross à la guitare sèche en conservant toute la beauté et surtout la riche complexité de ce chef d'oeuvre d'Iron Maiden. Le fait est que oui, il y est arrivé. Et quelle réussite ! OK il y a quelques approximations sur la retranscription du jeu multi instrumental du groupe, et ce n'est pas facile de gérer trois guitares plus la basse de Steve Harris. Mais quel travail ! Félicitations Thomas !

[@Franco.Adrian.Tortora]

Piel de gallina!! Amazing version Thomas! Cheers from Argentina

[@markusarrow]

Thnx for the wonderful song Thomas......

[@enzoterpin8990]

Very beautiful! 👍👍👍

[@jose-vv6xy]

Olé the sign of the Cross,you are the best ,come from Spain

[@boonecolby4292]

There are many times I have kneaded bread to this song. I searched for an instrumental version a month ago and found nothing. Now that the acoustic version has found me, I am eternally grateful. Thank you so much!

[@MrMadRade]

All of your music is in my list for work and road.

[@angelomoshopoulos4369]

This is version is out of this world. Just genius.

[@angelomoshopoulos4369]

This version is unreal. It brings out the brilliance of the song and Maiden

[@timetoburn2112]

Wow. . . the intro to this gave me chills. Awesome acoustic rendition of an awesome song!

[@LO.95]

Merci MEC. J'adore c est génial.

[@NoHealerJustPain]

In my humble opinion, X-Factor is the best thing Iron Maiden have ever made. So gruesome, dark, atmospheric and conceptual. I want more stuff from "X-Factor", "Virtual-XI", "Judgement Day", or maybe even "Virus". 🤘🤘🤘

[@pereulok]

🤝

[@mdamnit]

I just keep watching this day after day! I'm addicted to this version. I dream a day to play like this. Help me!!

[@Asagohantabemasuka]

[@mdamnit]

Today I was listening the original, and yours is way better!

[@gersonweberrocknroll]

Uow Thomas the sign of the cross 🤟🤟🤟🙏

[@LordZebra]

Eleven saintly shrouded men Silhouettes stand against the sky One in front with a cross held high Come to wash my sins away Standing alone in the wind and rain Feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again Caught by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold off the fear Some of the doubt in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test Nothing to do but await what is coming Why then is God still protecting me Even when I don't deserve it Thought I am blessed with an inner strength Some they would call it a penance Why am I meant to face this alone Asking the question time and again Praying to God won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear start to rise They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes There'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day And the guilty'll bleed when the moment comes They'll be coming to claim Take your soul away The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding communion so the world be blessed My creator my God, lay my soul to rest The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross, yeah The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross The name of the rose The sign of the cross Lost the love of heaven above Chose the lust of the earth below Eleven saintly shrouded men Came to wash my sins away
