So far so good....wicked intro...

Guitar's a little more distorted than the original, but it goes well.....

Wow, this is really good.

[Ixaxsys]

Now that I actually listen those solos seems just a bit sloppy...

[rik]

Sweet, one of my favourite maiden songs. Good job.

[RustedPieces]

Oh my God. You did a lot of covers. They're good too. I'm loving the Orion cover.

[cali_sk8er03]

nice playing dude IRON MAIDEN ROCKS! I like your tone on your solos...good job

[Ixaxsys]

Thanks guys. I'm thinking of redoing some of the covers I have on there since I can actually PLAY those songs now :p

[RustedPieces]

I can't believe that you could decently play the Tornado of Souls solo. I know how hard it is to play.

[Ixaxsys]

I actually played and sang (or at least I attempted to sing) Tornado of Souls for my talent show. It went over pretty well.. I can play the solo better now then I did in that recording anyway.

Great job

Rhythm is solid.

The harmonization sounds like there is no low-end whatsoever.

Get a new lead tone. POST.HASTE.

Lead needs work. But the rhythm is really good especially for the song having such weird timing.

[Ixaxsys]

Yeah, I didn't change my EQ between rhythm and lead, I didn't even think about it. I guess that would be a good thing to do eh.

[Wo@lcan]

Pretty great! Some mistakes, you could have added some more vibrato some places...

I was thinking of recording Aces High to in the near future! Where did you get your backingtrack?It sounds better than mine. :)

[isp_of_doom]

i have a split personality. heres my kind one:
sounded good, clearly recognisable. very strong rhythm. like the tone, but it does get old.

more critical me (oh and this is a drummers perspective).
timing is an issue. Ill forgive the intro and outro (im guessing its a computer or something generating the drums, so its hard to follow that, when its the guitar keeping time).

few sound issues on the fills during the chorus (i believe), it sounds like it could be a hammer on, or pull off. but it doesnt come out clearly... (1:14/1:15 in).

lead needs work, mostly timing, just getting to nailing it.

in one (or both) of the last 2 solos, i think you could have hit some wrong notes...r become detuned...or something (hey, im a drummer/casual guitarist so im not too sure...i could even be imagining it).

but yep, sounds good, just dont go offering your services to iron maiden just yet ;)

and how did you record it...im guessing by plugging into a computer, and using some software as backing track...but i have no idea....please spill :)

[isp_of_doom]

to live is to die sounds great. fantastic song.

[Neurotoxin]

Not a fan of the distortion, but good work.

-Oh, and to isp, I just record straight into Cool Edit Pro, with a USP gaming headset that came with a PS2 game as my mic :p

[incubass]

Nice dude. That was awesome.

Haha that's what I use to record too! Did you get it with SOCOM?

[BeforeForever12]

Wow...impressive...how about "Can I Play With Madness" now :thumb:

[clairvoyant]

Aces High was nice.

But I still cannot you could do that Tornado of Souls. You tapped the main fast run instead of playing like Marty Friedman.

HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!

[_bombsh3ll_]

good covers...

originals were good also...

make a band if you already havent...

+I never learned that part the right way, tapping it was just easier. Good ear :p

++Nope I'm not in a band, yet. Hopefully it'll be easier to find people that like to play this kind of stuff in college next year.
