He can afford the luxury to show that even he can miss some notes on the guitar. So special, so intimate, so humble - this guy is really a LEGEND.

[@blockaderunner]

@@lesterunwin Personally Lester, I regard Alexander the Great as Maiden's best work. In the past 5 years, I've studied a slew of history and the current book I'm reading is "The Might of the West" by Lawrence R. Brown, and in it, you read briefly about Persia (or Iran or Aryans) getting easily defeated 334-333 BC. Persia was weak even though they had conquered pretty much all of the Levant or Palestine/Mesopotamia/Egypt in the 100s of years before. They were ripe for getting rolled over. It's telling how Jesus spoke Aramaic, yet all the first "Christians" and written text were in Greek. The first "Christians" were Hellenic Jews. Alexander's time was well before all that though.

[@MichaelEgan66]

I was born in '66 and over the years, saw you guys 33 times thanks to those mega southern California dates you used to do in the 80's. I'm old and disabled now, got the same thing Mick Mars suffers from but also, bad arthritis in my hands that killed any attempts at playing solos i used to enjoy. Watching this video made me laugh and appreciate that the time thats passed for all of us never took away our sense of humour. I just want to tell you how bloody refreshing it is to watch you play a song the way most of the rest of us play, imperfect, unedited, guitar, amp and bedroom sound gear and with the levity that all of us hoped our guitar heros had but never could be quite sure. The last show I saw was in Florida about 10 years ago and had handicap seats but was faced at the arena with a tower of stairs outside and an unbelievable lightning storm that blew in along with a new ticketing system that caused all of us to be sat outside until literally curtain time. Luckily for me, about 5 guys saw me staring at those pyramid of giza like steps and hoisted me up and carried me to the top and put their raincoats together to keep me and my son from getting soaked to the bone. It could've been a totally shit evening but the amazing comradarie of maiden fans allowed me to have a great time. I'll never be able to see maiden again because of being too disabled to get to an arena anymore, but this video was almost how I'd guess sitting in a backstage practice room with Adrian would be like and that is just about as much as I could ask for. Thank you Adrian. You are indeed one of the great ones for me because of your incredible humility. Plus, being a fisherman doesn't hurt either. 😎 Thank you mate.

I'm hoping your condition will get better; medicine is advancing in leaps and bounds every year, and I hope a solution will be found for your health issues. I will respectfully disagree with you in one thing; I don't think you're old enough to call yourself old; I'm sure there is a lot more you can give to the world and your loved ones. The story about your last Maiden show is heartwarming, and truly shows the sense of brotherhood I believe every Maiden fan feels. Here's to hoping that you will see other Maiden shows with your son and thousands of blood brothers. Love and respect.

What a humble man but monster guitar player. This was the real somewhere back in time. Thank you Adrian!The legend lives on.

The Drum intro on the song could be from Van Halens Hot For Teacher! Great seeing Adrian having a good time rocking the vintage maiden!

Gangland - 1982, Hot For Teacher - 1984

[@SeanFlygon]

I always thought the two drum intros sounded similar!

[@runek75]

I really really loved this. Didn't expect that, thought it was something else. Very pleasantly surprised :D Been Maiden fan since 88

[@rafaeldesouza1496]

Iron Maidens gonna get you!!!!! A melhor banda do mundo! Que venham no rock in Rio 2021 de novo!!!!!!! Estou esperando para vê-los de novo!!!!!

[@Churro_Flaminguez]

One of my favorite Maiden songs. I'm glad this made it on the album and not Total Eclipse.

[@MrUnmutual2014]

Never understood the hate for Gangland. Could have seen Dianno sing this one. It's in the spirit of the first two albums (Bruce is incredible on this one though)

[@pcolomes]

I really love watching Adrian doing this kind of stuff. Can we have more ?????

[@raphaeloliveira89]

His happiness and excitement while playing one of their songs is beautiful. Kinda makes me happy and makes me wanna play my guitar too.

This must be the coolest video on the internet right now. And a moving tribute to the great Clive Burr. Btw, Gangland is in line with all the fantastic songs that make TNOTB a fu**ing crazy headbanger and a unique masterpiece. Not a notch less.

The Number Of The Beast = The Greatest Heavy Metal Album Of All-Time.

[@cri774]

@@bryantthoresen6772 I won't argue or disagree on this statement.

[@ricardolangonemarques9382]

Well said. Chemistry of Number of the Beast album is unique, something that cannot be duplicated. Clive + Bruce + Adrian = EXPLOSION of great music and energy. When Nicko joined, band changed, missed something... however I think Piece of Mind carries influences from Clive's drumming on Nicko. And he may admit it. But smoothly that was totally gone.

[@SASTORM]

simple song but still fun to hear it up the irons!

[@jarrettfullerton2580]

What I love about all the iron maiden lads is that they are humble and down to earth. They love the music. Pure and simple
