I see what you did there...some bands from the 90's are the new vintage.

F*ckin A!

It's.....not that bad. Better then what I was expecting...

It's excellent!

And because this is obligatory in this kind of thread:

they did a good job.


/up the irons!

Metallica sucks. They don't deserve to polish Maiden's balls. Of course, modern "heavy metal" is all pretty bland, thanks to Metallica's by-the-numbers grinding.

QUICK! everybody enjoy it before Lars tries to shut down YouTube!

Eeueugugh. Do not want. Time to go listen to the original - I don't have the Maiden album the original is on, though I have the next six.

....

I like the original. Not love at first sight, but really prefer Bruce's voice.

Wow, the opening sounds like their own Creeping Death.

Ordius: I always heard the influence of this song in Creeping Death, I really like how you can definitely tell though, from this version, that it is an Iron Maiden song, being played by Metallica, it really captures both influences very well. Hetfield is so, so, SO very wrong to even attempt to sing it, though. They should've paired the band up with someone else to sing it, really. I wonder how hard Sebastian Bach would kick ass doing some Maiden.

ZeroCorpse: Metallica sucks. They don't deserve to polish Maiden's balls. Of course, modern "heavy metal" is all pretty bland, thanks to Metallica's by-the-numbers grinding.

thinking that this man knows nothing about metal / music ...

What?! Who let this Kurt Cobain nuthugger in here?

I was a Maiden fan before I was a Metallica fan. I'm diggin' this cover. I thought it was well done. May actually have to download buy this.

ekdikeo4 - Hetfield is so, so, SO very wrong to even attempt to sing it, though.

I disagree, although Metallica is admittedly my favorite band mostly because of the distinct voice that Hetfield has.
I really think they did an outstanding job on this.

At work, and I can't do the YouTube thing here... anyone want to clue me in on which Maiden song it is?

That said, there' nothing wrong with Metallica's cover songs; they haven't written anything original that's worth a damn in forever.

/and Lars is a douche

Sounds like Iron Maiden except without the flavor, and the talented singer. D-

I prefer Opeth's version, but this wasn't bad.

I've always liked metallica's covers from back in the garage days/stone cold crazy days

I'm enjoying it so far.

I may have to pick up the new Metallica album when it comes out. Apparently they've gone back to 8 minute songs with solos and such.

/could be good
//could suck
///Rick Rubin could have saved them...

Ace Frehley's Ghost: At work, and I can't do the YouTube thing here... anyone want to clue me in on which Maiden song it is?

Remember Tomorrow

Metal by Numbers?Link (new window)

Remember Tomorrow

Really? Okay... that's not one that I would have guessed, although they did a decent version of Astronomy by BOC, so maybe.

I still have no good expectations for the new Metallica album.

They couldn't hold Eddie's rotting codpiece. You fail.

I might actually have to purchase this.

I missed you and offer you hugs. Things haven't been anywhere near acerbic without you.

Bondidude: Rick Rubin could have saved them

I'm a diehard fan, I've stuck with them through their Bob Rock album, but I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when I heard about Rick Rubin signing on. Everything that guy touches turns to gold.

*Fingers crossed*

Not too bad. They also covered my favorite song Brothers in Arms and did a decent job.

/still don't like them

Yawn.

Wow even NBC takes their YouTube content down faster than Metallica.

So, this is what Hetfields' voice has become. That's a damn shame because he sings every song this same way...very "lounge singer"-ish.

I listened to the Maiden original after I heard Metallica's version and I have to say that Metallica failed miserably on this one. They tried to make a somewhat tender song into some kind of monster.

The vocals are going to suck, the vocals are going to suck, the vocals are going to suck [vocals]. Yep Nailed it!

You do realize Bruce didn't sing on the original...right?

Subby - this is NOT good. It's horrible. Di'Anno was one of the ballsiest singers of the NWOBHM era. Hetfield sounds like a whiny emo kid.

This is horrible.

New album cover:


it took just half an hour before I saw it photoshopped on another board:

It will never be 1985 again and James will never be able to sing like he did on Ride the Lightning but I sincerely hope that Metallica gives the old school fans something to be proud of.

And for what it's worth I think the Remember Tomorrow cover is pretty good. It's going straight on the ipod.

ekdikeo4- "I wonder how hard Sebastian Bach would kick ass doing some Maiden"

check out this album

Slave to the Power from 2000 he covers Children of the Damned

Like a whiny emo kid? How old are you, dude? You're either 15 or 55. Hetfield was kicking ass long before - yes, before even RITES OF SPRING. Don't bother with your asinine comparisons.

You know who else kicked ass? Elvis. Elvis kicked a dozen different kinds of ass. If there was ass to be found, Elvis kicked it.

You know how Elvis was when he died? He was a bloated, drugged out shadow of his former self.

Just because someone used to kick ass doesn't mean that they have kicked ass since the 1980s.

Valid point. I'm not saying he hasn't done some questionable shiat in his day. (I try to block Load, Reload, and Some Kind of Monster out of my memory). But does he sing like a whiny emo kid? Naples. Besides, they still kick farkin ass when they play live, which is really the most important thing - I think they have to slide a lot farther down the shiat pile before they reach washed-up Elvis status, c'mon now.

How come there aren't dots over all the letters?

STRYPERSWINE: New album cover:


it took just half an hour before I saw it photoshopped on another board:

Bwahahaha

Okay, I'm home and I've listened to it.

Eh... It's not bad per se, but I'm still not looking forward to their album of new original material.

/They couldn't get better bands than this for a Maiden tribute??
//Slayer should have covered "Iron Maiden"
///That would have been the awesome

I'm sorry...
I don't get it.
How, in any measurable way, was that "good."
It sounded like recycled, everyday metal.
Hetfield's voice is mediocre at best.
Ulrich has nothing left other than a whiny temper.

Now, if you get Jim James singing some Iron Maiden, it might kick arse...

motorhead
maiden
metallica
megadeath

....the m's of metal...then there is the priest....

seen them all. my kids (9 and 8) like them. they refuse to get the mullet that goes with the lifestyle. probably a good thing.
