[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]i think COF's version is one of the best Maiden covers out there. Wonderfully orchestraed keyboard intro and the guitar tone (as well as solos) are top knotch, Nick even through in some hasty drums as well. Dani of course sung it in his typical fashion which gave it their personality, aside from Children of Bodom's cover of "the trooper" id say its the best ive heard.[/QUOTE]

the bassist plays with an 5 stringer and an pick! thats not allowed on Maiden songs!!!!very dissrespectful against steve..

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]I picked my friend up to go to uni, and as we were driving, I had Powerslave pumping on the stereo. So any, my friend, who is convinced he is a metal head after graduating from Linkin Park to Dream Theater and Tool (both of whom I love, by the way), told me at length that bands as simple and untechnical as Iron Maiden bored him, since if he wanted to listen to thrashy music without skill he would listen to punk.

So I put on Losfer Words, and saw the self-important smirk melt off of his face. Then I skipped to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner and finished him off, especially when that long interlude in the middle comes in. It was especially awesome as I had the bass cranked so he could hear Steve Harris' pure awesomeness. Just had to say how much I love it. At least now he will listen to other bands besides Dream Theater and Tool.[/QUOTE]

:lol: love it.. just by 2 minutes to midnight he should hear that steve is an bass player above the average...

[QUOTE=GurS]that's the one, lateralias.

Yer, CoB did a fantastic job on the trooper, their version of aces high is great as well.

yeah it is good but i still like hallowed... the best

i hate cob's version of the trooper, lissen to it when he says the bugal sounds and the charge begins he doesnt even pronounce it properly he says "the bucket sown adn the char it kiss" id prefer it if he lernt to sing the words proplerly befor he sings the songs and i know he is forigne so even mroe reason for him to make sure he can prnounce them properly.

USELESS KNOWLEDGE

not that bassiest, Robin Graves played on that version and he was a finger bassiest, their new bassiest Dave Pubis does use a pic however :)

Alexi sings in the style of black metal, if you could understand every word it wouldnt sound right. When a band does a cover of another groups songs they throw in some of their own style as well. If that alone makes the song "terrible" than id say you have a terrible outlook on their cover, as the music had never sounded better for the song.

Are we still on page 99? This last page is taking ages to fill....

100?

YES! TEH WIN!

*happy 100 page everyone*

wooo!
i was listening to dance of death album on the way back from school on the bus today, and now i think that gates of tomorrow is one of my favourite songs on the album.

agreed

but the Aces high video is pretty cool too.

Rainmaker isn't bad... they play in a room and it rains... ok its about the rainmaker... but nickos drums and hair aren't wet... thats a little funny i think... ^^

Infinite Dreams........

The women in uniform video was the best video

more people enjoy it than dislike it, so i wouldnt say its a bad mark as Bodom have an giant following. When bands do cover songs, part of the reason they choose to do them is to see how a song would sound if anther group wrote it..or to put a more modern twist to an old song that inspired the group. If they play it identically the same what the use of even covering it when we already have the original? It's a way to show you show praise to a group by adding in your own elements to their songs.

heyt what are some easy maiden solos to play? (and i mean easy by maiden standards!)
i can only play the solos in children of the ****ed and infinate dreams.

lol i didnt kno they bleep D A M N
