Thanks for the flashback! I just ran into the spare bedroom to test my chops. I learned how to play the Gary Hoey version of this song when I was a kid, and even though those arpeggio parts in the first solo were kind of rough, I can still do it.

My urge to buy another guitar is growing stronger. When my wife complains about that $2000 that mysteriously went missing, I'll blame you.

The yodeling can get annoying, true. But they've replaced it with... nothing interesting. And I'm a great admirer of Maiden (with Bruce Dickenson) but 'Hocus Pocus' without Jan Akkerman isn't the same. It just isn't.
