Yeah mine too. I grew up listening to Maiden and I've seen them live many times. They're one of favourite bands of all time, along with Metallica, GnR, Aeorosmith and pretty much everything else that's now classed as "classic rock", but when I was growing up it was just rock! (When did I get that old?) Although I don't really get to play rock / metal type stuff anymore it's still my favourite genre of music. Sadly playing is now more middle of the road bluesy and poppy stuff. (Again, when did I get that old?) Keep on rockin'

One more thing. The link you posted doesn't seem to work for me. 

Also a direct link to your YouTube channel would be handy and I'll subscribe. The video doesn't link to the channel, it just plays within the forum.

Yeah, unfortunately as I now live in rural Bulgaria, as far as band mates are concerned the pickings are a bit slim. I'm actually lucky that I found a good bunch of mates who all happen play instruments. To be honest just hanging out with a great bunch of guys and enjoying playing is more important to me now than the type of music. I long ago gave up any delusions of being a rock God. 😂

 

Subbed. 👍
