One of the most unique riffs in all of metal history and one of Maiden’s best.

It’s so cool when you do these kinds of videos because I hear things I’ve never noticed before! Sometimes those little nuances get buried in the mix. I always think of SiT as “Adrian’s album.” It’s just dreamy from beginning to end! Thank you for doing this and for showcasing all of those magical guitar parts from the best twin guitar duo ever! 🎸🤘What a song and what an album!

They always did have a tendency to do that in their mixes, where they go for a specific all-around sound rather than good instrument separation. Sounds great but it also makes my life a little harder sometimes 🤣 It's interesting that many consider it to be Adrian's album when he only wrote 3 songs, but I think it's because you really feel his influence on the song structures, melodies and the overall sound of the album. Just the general direction of the music... Glad you enjoyed this one! I really wanted it to be good as it's such a special song. Thank you! ☺️

Great playing as ever and let's hope it makes the set list. Going off at a tangent I went to watch my football team Brighton last Sunday. Being a maiden fanatic I spotted a bloke in the crowd who looked very much like like Adrian's guitar tech Sean Brady. The clincher was that he was carrying a bag with Seymour Duncan on it. I politely approached him and he was the perfect gentlemen. I thanked him for how he contributes to the great show and he thanked me and gave me one of Adrian's custom Ernie Ball picks! :)

This is one of those songs where the rhythms have to be just right also because the two guitars are playing off one another in the main riff, each one placing the accent on a different part of the beat.
