Compare it with the album. You can easily hear the fretboard noises in the album song. |

| | | | Thanks for postings this. I have been longing to hear Steve Harris bass isolated on this particular track. Shame that the guitars where leaking trough. On the isolated Number of the Beast track there was just the bass. |

Hell, if I could play a fresh set of flats every night, I'd do as well. It's still different from rounds imho.
