Default Iron Maiden Wasted Years Acoustic

One of my first recordings. LOVE Maiden and always thought there was alot of melody in this song with some beautiful harmony vocals. Not trying to do it better, just paying my respects!

Adobe Audition
SP VTB1 Mic
Hardly any plugins
No vocal pitch correction
Korg Triton
KRK Rokit8 Monitors (eventually sold these and bought Adam A7)
All me

Enjoy!

F#$%#$^ Great Job dude!! Maiden would be proud. It has today's sound and really presents the song in a really natural/naked form.

The recording was good. I would love to record you doing this song. If I had any comments, it would be that the high harmony sounds a little "processed". Did you use an Auto-Tune?

But overall - Awesome.

Can we please have another Maiden classic - (stripped down) !!

Of course, I was going to go looking for this one after your introduction. This is really killer. Love the subtle touch on the orchestral strings - the guitar playing is fantastic, top shelf stuff. This is one of the best things I've heard on here. Can't wait for "Number of the Beast" or "Run To the Hills" haha. Superb!!

If I didn't hear it I wouldn't believe it. Awsome!
Only complaint is the bit of panning going on at the beginning of the solo. It doesn't fit the song.

I love it! Never heard the original but this sounds great. Vocals very Metallica-esque! Fantastic job!

You're probably right, allthough I actually LIKE this & I can't say the same for Nickelback! However, I think you'll find Nickelback's vocals were also influenced by Metallica's (I'm thinking in particular of "Nothing Else Matters", "Unforgiven" etc.).
