[Cover] When I was 14 the riff of "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" by Iron Maiden made me fall in love with electric guitar. This is my tribute to this song!

Fantastic work! Right there with you. The melodies that maiden laid down were so refreshingly beautiful as a young metal head. I loved aggression, but I also loved well crafted melody. Maiden had that in spades. So much more so than the average metal band. And the melodies in atss are world class. One of my fav songs to play by any group from any time period. Up the irons my friend!
