Iron Maiden Wasted Years Acoustic Cover (Ian Zumback version)

This classic Maiden song was one I used to blast from the cassette player in my little ’86 Honda Prelude as a teenager. At the time, I was in love with it for Adrian Smith’s guitar work (and lyrics & melody, which he also wrote). But today, fast-approaching 50 years on planet Earth, the song takes on a whole new meaning for me. Important credit note: Ian Zumback’s acoustic cover was the inspiration behind this cover. The first time I heard him sing it, it spoke to me on a deep level, and I wanted to try a hand at it myself. Please check out Ian’s original cover here:
