    Just finished playing all the Rhythm tracks. Frickin Awesome!!!! That was so much fun, but then I again I am a huge fan.
    Looking forward to battling all the lead versions. That will keep me busy for a while.
    The two hardest Rhythm tracks are 2 Minutes to Midnight and Aces High, the other three aren't too bad.
    I am pretty sure this has just passed the RUSH 5 pack as my favorite RS DLC.

    Truth is, I never cared much for Iron Maiden, I may have listened to a few of their songs before, but I'm not a fan at all. But I respect them, and that's why I decided to get the pack.
    Surprisingly, the songs are not as hard as I thought they'd be. With just one play-through each, and not knowing the songs (I had only listened before Run to the Hills and Number of the Beast a couple of times), I managed to get about 65-76%. And they were fun to play!!!

    Absolutely not a fan either but everyone seems to be enjoying them so much I think I'll get them anyway .
    Clearly I'm easily lead.

    never in my wildest dreams, when I picked up a Bass 7 months ago (just to see what it was like) I never believed I would be able to get beyond a couple of basic songs in RS1, Ive just sat and played through a couple of the maiden songs, MAN!!! what a blast.... the multiple fingering is still too fast for me as I still have to master a steady rhythm with two or more fingers, but, i can wiggle my forefinger quick enough now to keep up, and to all of a sudden start seeing the notes fading in master mode made me feel frikken awesome, hey guys I can freakin play Bass to Iron maiden!!!

    This game still makes my day every time I put it up........huh!! Call of what?....Battle who?? nothing interrupts Rocksmith2014 anymore.

    I've never been a fan of Iron Maiden's music but I love, love, love the gallop. It's one of the first techniques I put a huge amount of time into when I was a teen and just banging away on a guitar.

    So I grabbed the pack and set all of the songs to a Non Stop Playlist and galloped my way through it twice. The second time I galloped every chance I got, even when not necessary, every single one and my arm damn near fell off at work last night. I have such a pain in my shoulder, it's ridiculous.

    Loved every frickin' minute of it.

    I'm not a fan either but I have to say that Trooper is a blast so I might pick these up over time. They do look technically challenging and a lot of fun.

    In terms of experiencing the technically best music ever....there are few bands that should be instant buys for everyone .....Rush, Dream theater, King Crimson, yes, Steely Dan and Zeppelin to name a few. On top of that list is Iron Maiden......

    GREAT PACK! Amazing how playable and fun these song are for how complicated they sound. It reminds me of the Metallica song album pack that came out for plastic guitar a while back. I can't believe I'm playing this on a real guitar (OK, slower) this time around. WOW. Who would have thunk it.

    I always through a lot of these songs were Judas Priest songs.
