Flash Of The Blade...live!

[Metallicat180]

I went to see Maiden Scotland again last night and they were brilliant as usual (and they dedicated Die With Your Boots On to me!!! ) and they also did Flash Of The Blade live once again so I filmed the entire performance to see what you all think of it done with just two guitars. I think it sounds great and hopefully this might convince the Maidens to give it a try!!!!

Nice job Jenna. Just a wee bit of arm twisting eh?

Hehe, I thought you of all people would appreciate a bit of encouragement for this song!!

 

[Rendclaw]

Those guys are pretty good. I love playing that song and now I finally see what that damn chord during the verse was... I could never get it to sound right and I have been playing that song for like 17 years or so.

You're a blessing, Jenna!

Bruce played guitar for Revelations during the POM and Powerslave tours. Maybe Aja can pick up a guitar for the third harmony in Flash of the Blade? I think that would be cool.

Hehe, thanks Brian!!! They are excellent!! "Adrian" told me the bass player is just temporary tho. He's a great player but didn't seem very enthusiastic. He would probably be better in a CCR or Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute I reckon.

darthrya - now there's a idea!! She did it for Moonchild so why not Flash of The Blade.

Oh and Powerslave is officially 23 today!!!!!!! Happy birthday Powerslave!!!

My all-time favorite album, bar none! Still sounds as good today as it did when I first heard it back in 85.....

Hey Jenna, I have some vids for you, where d'ya want me to send them?

I can't remember the first time I heard it, it was after '85 tho!! Probably early to mid 90's probably. I do remember moaning to my brother about Rime being too long tho. Now it's one of my all time favourite songs!!

Oh cool!!! Send them metallicat180@hotmail.com please.

finially got a chance to listen to maiden scotland - thanks for the post jenna the band kicks ass on the song - and decent on the solo section but ... the harmony holes bug me. and that's what makes that section so delicately cool is the intracacy!! sorry but i think you've just reaffirmed for me that i need to hear all the notes or my ears will never be happy. i'm gonna have to find a third player to guest on the song huh! btw maiden scotland murray shreds \m/

No problem Sara!! Damn!! I don't think that you would be short of a few volunteers! You should do what Darth suggested and get Aja to play the 3rd harmony.

Hehe, they are very good! I think he looks like Rick Allen from Def Leppard tho!

Surely you jest! I appreciate the vote of confidence but the simple little intro to Moonchild is one thing, FOTB is quite another kettle of fish!!

Did you see the movie called "Little Nicky"? I can say the same thing to you as Rob Schneider said to Adam Sandler in the movie:"Come on...you can do it!"

Go for it - I'm sure you could!!!!

 

[Rendclaw]

Have mine eyes seen our dear Aja be just a touch self-deprecating?

Sweetie, you are extremely accomplished in Shotokan karate. I have a little idea about how traditional that style is, and if you can do that, you can do anything.

Trust me, if a schlub like me can play FOTB, you can.

And yeah I know, I misnamed it.

Rendclaw,

Get that solo down bro! You can do it! Then post us a link! Just dont ask me to play drums to it!

 

[Rendclaw]

I just need to practice more regularly, I can usually nail that solo without any problems.

 

[RuntoHills]

I have always liked "Flash of the Blade".

That is one of my all-time favorite Maiden songs ever.

Your right, the guitar solos in that song are very kick-butt.
