The dance of death solo tone is amazing

[@olliferverduzco5517]

Ufff the janick's solo is so amazing

[@PolarisCastillo]

The three gentlemen's guitar solos in this track are fucking legendary. I love how grandiose and epic they feel. So great. Amazing cover!

[@ryos.5974]

Daaamn perfect yet again! And putting that Janick "almost-signature" guitar to use I see. Now imagine a supergroup cover with other KZbin artists, say Raphael Mendes as Bruce, maybe Hyottoko of Iron Virgin as Steve... the crème de la crème of Maiden cover artists

[@tillyvick14]

I was thinking the same thing the other day! Nico is by far the best Maiden guitar artist out there with unparalleled knowledge of the music. Would love for him to be able to play with Raphael and Hyottoko.

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

came for solo section, wasnt disapointed as expected. great job

[@MrGodstabber]

Greatest song on DoD, one that I like to listen to with my eyes closed .

[@ilikepie5733]

This was perfect. Paschendale is my #1 Maiden song - followed by Hallowed, Wrathchild, Rime, and The Longest Day.

[@lilgummy265]

same!

[@brucedickinson12]

their best new era song

[@sebastianreaper]

The janick solo on this song its just perfect!

[@joeverastegui8399]

"Uuuuum WoW!!" as he puts his drooling tongue back in his mouth. Nico, damn man I can't even find the words . How about Phenomenal.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks Joe! Glad you enjoyed that one 🤘🤘

[@theoutlawtorn]

One of their best songs. The chours reminds me of part after solo in "Heaven Can Wait".

[@AndyTheRoo]

Damn I get chills listening to Paschendale. Such an unbelievable song. The lyrics are superb and it's quite a heavy song also. Great stuff Nico, keep it up mate!-

[@everlymurdoc2327]

First Maiden song I ever heard and a solo I can proudly say I can now play... but that Janick solo further solidifies that he is defientley NOT a sloppy or bad player!!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Neither of these three solos is easy so kudos to you!! Janick can be sloppy (especially live) but so can Angus Young and he's rock royalty. I really like his style a lot 😊

[@stavrosmaiden]

One of the best songs from Maiden and one of my favourite songs from 00s 🤘 A true epic

[@SpydyrUnlimited]

My 2nd favorite maiden song behind stranger in a strange land… this is absolutely incredible and never get tired of jamming this one out

[@rohantiwari7801]

Best Maiden song from 21st century

[@Sebastian_Mroczek]

I was just thinking the other day that we need more videos from the Dance of Death album:). Love the fact that with each guitar you change on the video we can hear more of what each player is doing, which one can not always hear/appreciate. Great job as always!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks so much man! I agree the visuals help focus the hearing on certain things. Not sure about the science behind it but I guess it's the same as when you write funny lyrics over a song and your brain actually hears them 🤷🏻😄

[@suetruett3812]

one of my absolute favorite Maiden songs. From the intro through the whole song, you gotta love every part til the last note.

[@Bruno-vp1ct]

Iron 🤟🏻forever

[@larrymacgyver1497]

What excellent playing !! Man I wish this guy had such a passion for the guitar work of randy rhoads , I would really enjoy seeing him nail all of Randy’s stuff !

That Adrian solo 🤩

[@Moon-mc6mm]

Brilliant. A lucky man you are Mr Nico 😃

[@malawigw]

Tell the tale of Paschendale!

[@michaeldouglas6008]

Paschendale almost reflects those whom have suffered in Ukraine……thank you for your guitar playing Nicko! Prayers to those who have suffered and will hopefully find peace🙏🏻

[@fabioperelli1830]

Bellissima la Fender come quella di Janick 👏

[@christhiancarvajal4027]

Excelente, elegante, perfecta y exacta interpretación!! no sé cómo le haces, pero los solos son asombrosamente precisos, además es difícil descifrar e interpretar los solos de Janick, pero lo haces a la perfección y ya con eso te ganas todo mi respeto.

[@maximilianodelrio]

Tienes razón respecto a los solos de Janick, son muy caóticos y espontáneos, pero acá suenan perfecto

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Muchisimas gracias, amigo! Es certo que los solos de Janick pueden ser bastante difíciles de descifrar. Para mi, requieren mas esfuerzo. Por eso aprecio mucho tus palabras. 🙏

[@teemuk1225]

Oh yes! One of the best maiden songs!

[@juanneman]

Absolutely and amazingly flawless, everything on point, what can I say? That´s why I´m here enjoying this channel, the best homage to my all-time fave band. What amazes me the most is how he nails the different solos with their particular feeling.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

HUGE THANKS man! Much appreciated 🙏

[@mescalina3530]

He encontrado pocos covers de Paschendale, al igual que alguno del tema The legacy. Sin dudas, excelente!

[@DiegoDeschain]

Awesome cover of an awesome song.

[@diegolatorre6793]

That tone, the melody, it hits!

[@a.kguitars930]

I consider this song to be one of Mr. Smith’s finest moments. Just breathtaking this song is!

Thanks! So glad you're enjoying the channel 😃

[@seistan]

Fucking awesome cover! Thanks for taking the time and effort to share it even if I doubt I'll ever nail the solos! Brilliant job mate!

[@mr.writer2996]

That’s totally brilliant to pull off the whole song and all three solos. Absolute class. What a talent and a Maiden expert of the hugest order maximum kudos

Thanks a lot man! 🤜🤛

[@12Jcob04]

@@LicksOfTheBeast my pleasure. Was watching your Adrian's solo cover from Heaven Can Wait while sitting with my guitar and suddenly started to play backing track😀 Keep the great work man🤘

[@johnprovatidis1503]

What a ridiculous track. When that riff (Is that called a power chord riff? Excuse my musical ignorance :') ) at 4:42 starts, and the solos follow, wow. Just wow. And Janick's solo afterwards, good Lord man. Great playing, great cover!!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks so much, man! And yes, a power chord riff is exactly how I would describe that 😊

[@McLovin201]

Seriously. Nothing complicated or wild happening there but it's such a powerful part.

[@Alex-wf4px]

Adrian's solos are always so well structured, thought out, and fit the song like a glove!

[@hktr01]

As always... very NICE cover. And COOL shirt!

He isn't, sorry

[@zsoltbalanyi4510]

Nice Fender guitar! New for me.

Another perfect guitar performance. You're videos are so good to watch. This is my favourite IM song, along with The Talisman and The Legacy. It's also contains my favourite song lyrics, along with Bob Dylan's Masters of War.

Thanks so much! 🙏🤘

[@trevorwhittemore8036]

You play this perfectly. I am learning the solos now and Janek’s is super tough with both of those arpeggios that you so masterfully executed on this song. Excellent job 👍 👍

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thank you! I always have the hardest time trying to replicate Jan's style so it's definitely a work in progress. 😅 The best thing is always to go about it lick by lick until you eventually have the whole thing down. Good luck!

[@trevorwhittemore8036]

You’re welcome. You are great and have this song down. I always find Janek’s solos a bit tricky but I slowly get them when I play it one part at a time like you said. Also learning 22 Acacia Avenue. Wonderful job playing that one as well. Love all your videos and I think that if Maiden ever needed another guitarist then you are it my friend.

[@edgarg.8013]

Wow!!!!! You are amazing Nico!!! Fine interpretation!!! And finally with the 3 Signature Guitars!!! You captured the essence of the 3 Amigos !!!

[@caioferes9646]

Awesome playing Nico!!

Superb! Fucking superb! One of the best songs from Dance of Death and one of the best post-2000 songs! I think you should do the Dance of Death title track next.

[@savvy1856]

I think the original Maiden album goes wildly overlooked. Some of the most beautiful guitar work they ever did was on that album. My favorite being the 1st solo in the song "Drifter." A beautifully orchestrated solo. If you've ever covered it, please point me to where I can watch it. Thanks.

@@LicksOfTheBeast GREAT JOB NICO! That was awesome. Been looking for a long time on YT but couldn't find Maiden doing this song (and especially the solos) live any justice. Seemed like every time I saw them do it, the first solo was botched and played way different. This was exceptional. THANKS!

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

@@savvy1856 Thank you! I have always loved the solos on that song 🙂Cheers 🤘

One word...EPIC! Did I see a couple of sweeps in that last solo as well? I need to go and get my Dance of Death album out now :) Another musical masterpiece from Maiden.

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Thanks! And yes Jan does do sweeps sometimes 😊

[@ianfurqueron5850]

@@LicksOfTheBeast I think it's also one of the few times I can remember him using the bar other than during live end-of-song dive-bombs. Great playing as usual! I love this song and listen to this record a lot. Face in the Sand right after it is another favorite. Possibly one of the "angriest" Maiden songs.

[@azzajames7661]

[@LicksOfTheBeast]

Hey man, first of all I'm glad you found me and thank you for subscribing! Second, it's so encouraging to know that the covers are received as an extra bonus rather than the focal point as I really want this channel to be all encompassing and not just about showing that I, too, can play Maiden's songs 😊 thanks again 🙏 Cheers!

[@laurentfemenias9410]

The three beauties in action and a wonderful way for me to start the weekend! :-) One of my favourite songs from Dance of Death, though I didn't see this one coming. And what a cover once again! Everything is perfect (even the cool fc tshirt :-)) !

[@ericlizotte1123]

Excellent job! The way you played everything sounds just like it should. I think my favorite parts to this song are the intro/outro with the tapping and the bass moving underneath. I also like Adrian's solo. That is just fire on this song. Then again, honestly all the solos in this song are fire! And you nailed them for sure! Definitely one of the better songs from Iron Maiden during the 2000s in my opinion.

[@DanielPalov]
