Revelations - Iron Maiden classic

Most challenging track I've ever completed. Thanks once more to Stephen Gyves (AKA Elvinking) for his inspired vocals.

-Thanks for listening

    love it, all the little details like the pop in the bass tone which is so like Steve's in the original. Singer does a good job on what is a very tricky song; i'd like to hear him sing some Candlemass/Solitude Aeternus stuff. you have done a great job here Sean. Maybe post the link over in the coffee house in the 'coffee and metal thread...i think a few people would appreciate it!

    This is one of the better covers I've heard lately.  Very professional production, great vocals and guitar work.  The video was a little lacking, but I suspect you used Youtube for the sound quality rather than for the video.  All in all, a solid recording of a difficult song.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Thanks for posting this up Sean. Yes, this was one tough song to sing. Bruce Dickinson gained even more respect as I tried to tackle this song. The music was arranged awesome by Sean and I again enjoyed belting out some lyrics. I hope eveyone enjoys. Thanks for listening. :)

    Thanks guys. Lynn, yes I just use a service called tunestotube.com which posts an audio file along with a still image. We contemplated doing some sort of video for it, briefly, until we decided it would just be too much time that would be better spent making more music. ;-)

    mgh, I will search for the coffee house thread, thank you.

    Wow! Fantastic job, it's essentially note perfect. One of my fave Maiden tracks off my favorite Maiden record. Trooper next?

    I like the vox. I think they are great dry, but would also like to hear a bit more effects on them, but then again, I may be trying to re-create the original. Mix is stellar otherwise.

    Sounds excellent, really well produced and all the changes are seamlessly done. Top drawer.

    Well, I am glad I am consistent. I had forgotten about replying to this and listened again to the track, and then scrolled down to write a reply and saw I had already commented. And it was exactly what I was going to write this time LOL.

    LOL, Thanks, Shad... that's even better.

    Rob, thanks for noticing. I must have gone through near 50 takes to get Adrian's first artificial harmonic note just right.. and the rest was even harder. I only wish I could play it as effortlessly those guys did back when they recorded the original track :-)

    Thanks for the complement, Tony. I did put a lot of time into it, I'm slowly getting better with my production technique.
