Moonchild - Iron Maiden Full Guitar Cover

[@fatihsendur7544]

An Adrian song is always a great song.

[@mathias6423]

I did not know that he played such a huge role in Iron Maiden when I was younger and that he wrote many of my fav songs. I think he was also away from the band for some time. Then when I went to see them live again when I was fifteen years old year 2000 for the Brave New World tour in Sweden I saw him again. That was the best live show I have ever been on.

[@phillytheflyerable]

my favorite maiden song probably. so moody and sinister, I wish maidens did more of these dark and creative themes. pretty un-maiden like. killer solo!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Seventh Son had a dark vibe overall... Very unique!

[@paisteplayer1040]

@@LicksOfTheBeast Seventh son is in my opinion Maidens pinnacle. great job, love the vids.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Much appreciated! Thank you 🙏

[@kntzounis]

I saw them live in the SSOTSS tour in 1988. Back then the set was 2,5 hours! I have never seen a band, even Maiden themselves which I have seen live quite a few times, attacking the crowd with such ferocity as they did opening that night with Moonchild. Never! I had the luck to meet mainly Bruce and Adrian in the promotion of Flight of Icarus. I was really surprised how the sweet talking Bruce discussing music and other Bands, was transformed to an onstage monster firing lyrics with the emphasis and showiness that few singers could do, like DIO did or Tate in Queensryche and Midnight in Crimson Glory. It was amazing...

[@superdave7241]

Love this song, so good. That first verse lays it all out and lays it all down and takes no prisoners.

[@chris.bradshaw]

Badass cover of one of their best. Great work Nico!

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

I remember them opening with this song on the 1st leg of the Seventh Son tour, back in 88. This song is such a great show opener. Expertly played!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

You're very fortunate to have seen that tour live!! Must have been absolutely incredible!

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

@@LicksOfTheBeast Yes, indeed, I'll never forget it. I still have my ticket stub from that show. Up the Irons!

[@maidenrulz73]

Guns n roses opened up when I saw that tour….90% of the crowd didn’t know who they were or how big they’d be

[@NightCrawler-i2e]

Riffy żywcem wyjęte spod strun Adriana,najlepsze utwory to jego kompozycje,mistrz!

[@stevenclark1973]

Great playing as always... one of my fave openers to a gig this song.. that scale at the end of Murrays solo is amazing.

[@darrenc8776]

I have the original seventh son guitar tab book. What you play here is different to that but sounds great. I'm not convinced those book are right tbh

[@terjebjartheim2262]

that song together with Hallowed Be Thy Name, is the best of the Iron Maiden religion. And you nail it. Thanks !!

[@Joficial19]

What so nice execution of Adrian's solo.

[@maximilianodelrio]

Excellent job! I love the style they went for with this album, the guitar parts are so unique and interesting, and also very tough to pull off! I tried covering 7th son, but the second half with the solos and the crazy rhythm underneath it killed me haha

[@gregw54]

Oh man, you killed it. Your fretwork is so efficient, something to strive for on every instrument. I had SSOASS on constant replay through 88 and it brings back a lot of great memories.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks so much! It really makes me particularly happy when someone tells me one of these videos brought back some good memories 😊

[@CC-qb9sm]

Love this song! Great performance Nico!

[@josephkunath4173]

I love the intro to this song

[@nec4586]

How can you be so accurate!!!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks man! I really do try to be as accurate as possible on these covers. Much appreciated!

[@peterk4626]

Great cover as always Nico, Maidens 4th guitarist :) I just love the Mysticism theme and sound running through this whole album, I never tire of it.

[@Crossfire44]

a new favorite in my watchlist!

[@Moonchild-CA]

Nice cover! Love it. One of my favourite Maiden songs.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Hey thanks so much! 🙏

[@mahdisoleymani660]

My favorite opening track (even above Caught Somewhere in Time, sorry, Nico)

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Hahaha yeah this is a fantastic opener for sure!!!

[@geetarrguy]

Up the irons! 🤘

[@crispybits3765]

Brilliant 👏

[@mka70]

Fricking amazing performance Nico. Not that I would ever be able to play as well as that, but is there any way you can tab this out ...... especially the solos. Just insanely good!!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you! Not for right now as I just don't have enough time but... I do have plans to make some lesson videos with tabs in the future. 😊

[@mka70]

@@LicksOfTheBeast That would be awesome!! Your playing is as close as I can see Dave & Adrian playing. It can be a little difficult to tell exactly which frets are being played in these types of videos though.....especially when doing bends. Any guidance would be so very welcome!!

[@mathias6423]

I had forgotten that cool guitar lead in the chorus of this song and this is one of my absolute fav albums. Now I really long for when I have my new electric guitar so I can play this :D I remember you advice me to maybe choose the PRS instead of the Jackson guitar because of the locking trem on the Jackson. What about the Fender player guitars ? Do they come with humbucker pickups and a tremolo without locking ? Maybe Fender player trem is not holding the tuning as good as PRS does. I know Fender player are good guitars for beginners though just like PRS SE models and will be nice to play some Iron Maiden on :)

[@oneman49instruments]

Professional video man! Awesome quality, on sound on video on performance!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you so much!! 🙇‍♂️🙏

[@michaeldouglas6008]

Have you tried playing the intro ? It’s not easy but the delay is the key to matching what we hear as the keyboard……Adrian hasn’t had to play much but when he does it is awesome! Cheers to you, you are the Beast! (Best) You cover IM like a true pro!

[@colintraveller]

What pedals , Amp , Cab do you use ???????????

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

My equipment list is always in the video description and stay tuned for a video about how I get my sounds coming up later this month! Working in it as we speak 😊

[@Pewtooyou]

Well Fucking Done Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jerkerjansson386]

Another great song! I love the energy in this one. Great playing as usual! 🤘

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Oh man . Just the way those stabs come in before the snare roll... You know it's about to get really real!! 🤘

[@jerkerjansson386]

@@LicksOfTheBeast Yeah, totally!

[@michaeldouglas6008]

Show a tutorial on the intro….it’s mesmerizing! I know I’m repeating myself but it’s not easy to play and I have gotten close but you the master at this.

Oh my god! How do you change guitars so quickly?! 😄

[@michaeldouglas6008]

Please show the intro with the delay…..it’s a mesmerizing piece!

[@Motocoupemusic]

Awesome cover man!! Really nailed it. I just picked up the SDX in white and it’s a cracking thing for the money. I find the stock pickups a bit lacking. What did you go for? A JB I guess and some SD singles?

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you! On this one, I went with a JB Tb-4 in the bridge, a vintage hot stack in the neck and a classic stack in the middle. On the green one, I just changed the bridge for a Super Distorsion. Both are great... The green one sounds a little tighter while the white one is a little warmer.

[@Motocoupemusic]

@@LicksOfTheBeast - Thanks for the reply! Got to love those JB’s and Super Distortions. The JB in this one sounds great. Anyways, keep it up as the vids are awesome and you’re a great player! 😎🤘

[@joshl.8950]

This appears to have come out in between the time I was working on learning all of 7th Son(album) and now when I forgot I was doing that and now want to go back to it. Now i have this as reference for at least one song! That being said, I was trying to learn all daves stuff. iirc you usually focus on Adrian right? Looks like you might be jumping between them on this?

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

I try as much as possible to focus on all three guitarists although I might have a preference for Adrian personally. 😊 On cover videos, I alternate the views to show the different parts so one time around I will show what Adrian is doing and the next time I might show Dave's part so that viewers can see how the different parts are played or get an idea of how they work together.

[@juliennizan3129]

Fantastic playing! I’m wondering what software you used to remove the guitar? I’ve been thinking about doing a video like this myself. Thanks!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

I use Moises AI but there are others too...the technology is getting better and better!

[@MatteoAn93]

Wow! 😍🙌🤘

[@rafaarts6751]

Could you please do a lesson about the delay synth intro ? incl settings ? thanks a lot ! Up the irons !

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

My friend Julio has a short video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqTXfJ2OqreYgZI

[@garethjohn2662]

Wonderful stuff!! Please keep them coming. I've always wondered how guitarists go from tapping and then back to using the plectrum, now I know! Although in the Flight 666 version of it Dave taps with his index finger?

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

That's right! He uses to do it with the middle finger but in the more recent love versions he plays the last few notes of that run as pull-offs without tapping so he can switch fingers for the pick grip. 😊 Just a questionuestion of preference, really... Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@Ced-Gauche]

Is this Bias FX2 Plugin from the cloud? I've tried some 7th son plugins, but no one matched your sound.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

I think for this one I used a pedalboard from the cloud called Ultimate Maiden ad a base but then I made some tweaks to the settings. I used the same one for Only the good die Young actually. I don't go too crazy over sound settings for these videos but this one seems to work pretty well for this kind of sound.

[@aldersmoke1]

Why no synth part at the beginning? That was played on a guitar synth.

[@christhayil8354]
