Coheed better not kill The Trooper.

I saw this on Metallicas homepage yesterday. Im suprised no one chose number of the beast. Kerrang are pretty fucked up having Madina Lake and Fightstar on it.

Slightly interested in the Dream Theater & 'Tallica covers, don't really care about the rest.

Sh*t.

Machine Head is going to kill my favorite Maiden song :'(

I hope Devil Driver does something cool with Wasted Years though

Eww, Trivium. Gross.

Coheed's actually one of the few bands on this compilation I'm looking forward to. :lol:

Metallica's will probably be good too.

Im suprised no one chose number of the beast. Kerrang are pretty ****ed up having Madina Lake and Fightstar on it.

Ill download this (or maybe actually buy the magazine). This looks like it'll be pretty good.

Coheed better not kill The Trooper.

Coheed have been playing that song live for years, i think they'll pull it off. The more important question is why are Machine Head playing Hallowed?!

No way madina lake sound be on here, they are terrible. I'm pretty stocked about hearing Ghostlines.

they pick some weird bands for these, did anyone heard funeral for a friend do damage inc the metallica one? and as far as cophhed goes I think they;ve been playing the tropper live for quite sometime so

Gallows are doing a cover? That should be interesting.

Dream Theater picked the right song to cover imo, love to hear that one.

Like to hear the Metallica and A7X covers too actually. Flash of the Blade is one of Maiden's weakest songs imo, but I think A7X might be able to make the harmonized guitar parts really cool.

Sounds horrible.

A7X is doing one of my fave IM songs, so that should be cool.

Otherwise, only Metallica and Dream Theater interest me. Maybe Devildriver's Wasted Years will be cool.

Fuck Trivium.
Fuck Black Tide.

the only one im looking forward too is coheed, and of course they will pull it off, they ahve been playing it live for years. they played it last night when i saw them in my home county

Im gonna buy shitty kerrang for this track alone.

sorry and dream theater.

Trivium are just going to play the song exactly the way it is, but with Heafys so called vocals (even though i like Ascendancy). i doubt the instrumentals will suck from Trivium, just the vocals will ruin the song.

Machine Head is going to massacre Hallowed Be Thy Name, and I can't imagine Shadows hitting Dickinson's highs in Flash of the Blade.

But whatever.

GAH! I love iron maiden, because i hate these kind of "metal" bands. why must they ruin all my favorite songs!

Iced Earth's version of Hallowed Be Thy Name won't be bettered, so why would Machine Head even bother.

Darkane's version of 'Powerslave' is IMO the best Maiden cover out there. Period.

Gallows? Wrathchild? AW HELL YEAH

So here's Machine Head's cover that I mentioned above. It's a lot worse than I remembered, mainly the vocals. Oh well I'm sure the rights for the worst covers here will be reserved for Trivium, Fightstar and Madina Lake but this will probably not be too far away.

i will steer far, far away from this tribute cd

i`ll check it out... i doubt it will be any good

I actually think Coheed could do The Trooper really well. Trivium will do Iron Maiden good too (they're good musicians, they just can't write their own stuff too well).

Sevenfold sure picked the wrong song though, and Machine Cock doing Hallowed Be Thy Name is laughable.

Madina...Fucking...Lake?

Oh dear.

Dan Carter played the Gallows cover on his rock show on radio 1 the other day, it should still be streaming (til tuesday i think) here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/rockshow/index.shtml

it's the first song. surprisingly alright!

Alright so Machine Head butchered my all time favorite song (in that youtube vid).
I'd like to hear Coheed do "The Tropper"...I think that'd turn out pretty cool. Fuck the rest.

I'm probably the only one who thinks this is going to be excellent

Sevenfold sure picked the wrong song though

Aw man, I wish I were a subscriber to Kerrang!

I wish Powerslave or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son were being covered.

^^^ No need for Powerslave to be covered, Darkane have already done it. And I can't see it being bettered either.

Goddamn, this sucks! Madina Lake covering one of my favourites, and MH doing Hallowed and.....also Avenged Sevenfold? GAY!!!

Kerrang sucks as well as most of this cd will suck!

I don't know what you guys are bitching about, the MH cover is pretty good.

Sure, Rob doesn't hit those highs like Bruce does, but he uses restraint, and he doesn't thrash-yell them. He's doing fine with the singing. I wish he used those vocals more.
