Welcome to my page of acoustic versions of classic Iron Maiden songs. All of these tracks are my own work on acoustic guitar and vocals (although I naturally did not write them!) and they appear here in my original versions but also in separate 'Alvin & The Chipmunks'-style speeded-up versions I made using Windows Sound Recorder : )

All these tracks make up the overall project which I've very imaginatively entitled 'Maiden Acoustic' and for which a kind supporter from the MaidenFans.com bulletin board, Todd, has created a neat piece of cover artwork that you can view here. I would recommend listening to the tracks on headphones, if possible, as they were mixed mainly for listening that way and the intricacies can be heard in the much greater detail.

I hope you enjoy them and forgive the weaknesses in my playing and singing!!

The newest additions will appear in the 'Updates' and specific album section every few days when I get around to adding them!

If you wish to download any of the songs, the have been kindly made available at http://www.notb.org/thingfish/ and linked in album order below for you to right-click and choose 'Save As'. Please be aware I do not control that website so the site may occasionally be down for maintenance. If, for some bizarre reason, you want to see what order I recorded these songs in, you can see that here

To get a bit more feedback on my efforts than the many replies I get at various forums on which I post (of which there are many in various different languages!), I thought I'd create a guestbook so you can leave some (hopefully positive!) feedback for me :
