Started singing along to his rendition of Wasted Years in my office, and the guy who was picking up our paper recycling threw up the horns. A Good Day.

Excellent, especially Wasted Years, at any rate my favourite Maiden song.

I really enjoyed that, and boy did it ever send me into a wicked spiral of Maiden downloading.
it's not illegal if you've owned them all on vinyl and/or cassette. And backpatch.

Oh man I thought I was such hot shit when I learned to play the individual guitar parts to Aces High when I was in high school.

Awesome.
I almost drove into a tree when I heard this version of Wasted Years used as interstitial music on NPR on a Saturday afternoon.

At 2:40 of The Trooper—wow. And is that a cat eating a guitar string in the split-screen of Wasted Years? Dangerous!

Dream Theater - Through Her Eyes
WTF is going on here? Not only does he play a mean guitar, he also lured a great singer and a good violinist into doing acoustic covers of metal songs. And he knows someone with nice cameras and video editing chops.
I'm jealous.

argh, that's fantastic. I started trying to learn "Run to the Hills" on classical guitar, gave up and ended up turning it into a weird hybrid with "Can't Help Myself". I can console myself with the fact that it wouldn't be as skilled as this version anyway.

Way better than it has any right to be. So much potential for being terrible and he managed to pull off making the material fit the instrument beautifully.

This is the second bit of fantastic metal-to-classical conversion I've heard in as many weeks. First there was this video of a pianist playing Mastodon's Leviathan in its entirety.
