Pretty good job.

NICKO’S GOLF BALL

A fine summer evening, a breeze in the air
We see on a golf course our drummer fair
He lays down his golf ball and takes a big swing
What a jolly good shot, how far flies the thing!
His eyes follow after and notice the fall
He crosses the lawn to again strike the ball

It seems that his ball went into the hedges
Hmm, no, it’s not there he only gets scratches
He turns up each leaf, be it large or just small
But still he’s unlucky, no sight of his ball.

He gropes in the grass, peeks behind a large tree
Scans all the bushes, but his ball he can’t see.
Silently cursing, he climbs on a wall
But **** my old boots, he can’t find his ball.

In despair he goes poking out in the lake
After all it’s his golf ball that is here at stake.
All dripping wet he decides to crawl
Into the berries to find that **** ball.

Nick scratches his head and looks all around
To the left and the right, no ball can be found
To his dismay, he can’t really recall
Whereto exactly he shot that ‘Kin ball.

Nightfall comes quickly, first dusk and then dawn
Moat people are sleeping, but Nick scans the lawn
He searches through summer he searches through fall
The search is in vain; he can’t find his ball!

At last, all exhausted, he falls to his knees
He’s ready to give up, when guess what he sees?
He stares in amazement and cries; “Bless my soul!”
Now would you believe it, the ball’s in the hole!!!!

Technically good, but maybe a lack of feeling? I think I missed a few strong vibratos, maybe a crazy bend or two. That said, you played the solo's without a backing, and that makes the performance even more impressive.

I preferred the second solo, just for the record.

as did i

One thing I've noticed is, that solos and riffage sounds parp without backing...

Yeah, I noticed that too. Especially with Maiden, where so much is relying on the bass. The guitar of The Trooper and Aces High sound so empty without backing.

i could need some steve harris sig strings for this :p unluckily, i cant aford them right now....

Just got tickets to ozzfest, im seeing maiden, yes!

Maiden aint comin to my city. It's the first city that they aren't going to play at. I might still go though.

The harmonized part in Flash of the blade is cool, but the bass in that part is so amazing.It just makes it like a thousand times better.
