This tab book is a great buy. The tabature is very accurate and the song list is pretty good.Aces HighBe Quick Or Be DeadBring Your Daughter To The SlaughterCan I Play With MadnessEvil That Men DoFlight Of IcarusKillersNo Prayer For The DyingNumber Of The BeastRevelationsRun To The HillsRunning FreeThe Phantom Of The OperaThe TrooperTwo Minutes To MidnightWasted YearsWrathchildThe only downside, for me at least, is that Two Minutes to Midnight is in the book. I personally would rather have Losfer Words, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or Powerslave tabbed out from that album.
The good news is that this book is tabbed very well and contains some real classics. If anyone has seen the book that supposedly contains the tabbed versions of the first four Iron Maiden albums, you will see that there are definitely some weak transcriptions out there. It has been enjoyable to learn such classics as "Aces High" "Revelations" and "Phantom of the Opera". The questionable to me is "Killers", "Bring your Daughter..." and the "The Evil that Men Do". Is the latter really that popular of a song, or does the band just like it a lot? The ugly is "Be Quick of Be Dead" and especially "No Prayer for the Dying". I just don't get it. Like other reviewers mentioned, there are just some very obvious classics that are missing like "Iron Maiden", "Hallowed be thy Name", "Where Eagles Dare", "Stranger in a Strange Land", and "Infinite Dreams", etc. I was fortunate enough to get a guitar magazine that had "Powerslave" in it. Instead of making another BS compilation album, Iron Maiden should authorize the release of individual guitar tab books for each of their first seven albums, and/or release the old "Powerslave/Somewhere in Time" book. I don't care about the other albums too much up until "Brave New World" (yes, "Fear of the Dark" is a good song that could have been in this book), but "Mother Russia" is a great song that never got the recognition it deserved. This book is definitely worth buying, but be prepared to get some good stuff with some songs that do not belong in a comprehensive anthology.
Quality trancriptions of some classic Iron Maiden. Doesn't include all the favorites for everyone, which if it did, would be a really big book. Good mix of stuff from the first album up to No Prayer for the Dying.
Every Maiden fan / guitar player should grab this! A bunch of our favorite tunes in here.
Finally a GOOD Tab Book for Iron Maiden which many of us were waiting for. The song list is really good and the tabs are very accurate. I just with another Anthology will be released featuring songs that were left out such as "Hallowed be thy Name", "Fear of the Dark", "Man on the Edge", etc., etc...GREAT BOOK anyway!
This is a pretty good comprehesive view into the riffscape of the cult metal mavens, IRON Maiden -- and into the sonics of Steve Harris and crew. Couldn't be better for what it is, although, they couldn't fit everything and there are a few songs that they could've switched. No bother complaining really, everything is great.
First of all for this book I would say it has a lot of Iron Maiden's best songs, but it has some unnecessary ones as well. The main reason I like this book so much is the tabs/musical notation is perfect to the actual recorded version. If you like the song list that someone else has already mentioned buy this book.
This is a very good tab book, it had a pretty good selection of songs, they left out some really good songs, but anyway the book is excellent, I recommend it.
