Maiden Heaven.

[Oppugnant]

The Iron Maiden covers are out for the tribute album released by 'Kerrang!'

I feel sorry for Maiden, they really do deserve A LOT better then this. This, is just an atrocity.
They've given the job of honouring a fantastic band to shitty, Metalcore, Hardcore, Pop Rock bands.

It's a giant slap to the face of Metal.

Sign - Run to the Hills
The Gallows - Wrathchild
Avenged Sevenfold - Flash of the Blade
Madina Lake - Caught Somewhere in Time
Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper
Glamour of the Kill - 2 Minutes to Midnight
DevilDriver - Wasted Years
Metallica - Remember Tomorrow
Fightstar - Fear of the Dark
Black Tide - Prower
Year Long Disaster - Running Free
Ghostlines - Brave New World
Trivium - Iron Maiden
Those are the worst.

The only ones that are decent.
Machine Head - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Dream Theater - To Tame a Land

This is the worst tribute album ever released.

[AniMetal]

Mih, those covers could be worse.

Land of confusion by Genesis.
Land of confusion cover by Disturbed.

Both of which are decent but;

Land of confusion cover by In Flames was just plain horrid.

Don't get me wrong, In Flames are awesome.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? You cover a song to make it sound like your own... but this is humiliating and preposterously bad. I thought the riff was going to sound the same BUT NO!

The Gallows - Wrathchild

I couldn't understand a thing they said. Just awful.

Avenged Sevenfold - Flash of the Blade

Meh... I've heard worse.

Madina Lake - Caught Somewhere in Time

Bleh bleh bleh bleh. Awful.

Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper

What the hell is this? The pulse pounding epic is gone.

Glamour of the Kill - 2 Minutes to Midnight

Oh... wow this is bad.

DevilDriver - Wasted Years

Didn't listen.

Metallica - Remember Tomorrow

No sir I didn't like it.

Fightstar - Fear of the Dark

Didn't listen.

Black Tide - Prower

Black Tide was never good, this doesn't help.

Year Long Disaster - Running Free

I actually like this cover... it doesn't sound like total rape.

Ghostlines - Brave New World

Didn't listen.

Trivium - Iron Maiden

No comment.

The only ones that are decent.
Machine Head - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Very good cover. But if they wanted to keep up the shitty Maiden covers they should have used Cradle of Filth's cover.

Dream Theater - To Tame a Land

Can't go wrong with Dream Theater.

This is the worst tribute album ever released.

I'm going to agree there. They only got a few real metal bands but that's Kerrang for you. Displeasing their fans since the release of MCR's latest album.

[TiiBag]

These are my favorite Iron Maiden covers:

Sonata Arctica - Die With Your Boots On
Opeth - Remember Tomorrow

Yeah that's pretty much all I know for IM covers.

[Dekuboy]

Argh, my ears! What a terrible tribute album. The "Run to the Hills" cover is especially angering.

80's metal is not meant to be sung by a little teenage punk.

[LOLZILLA]

Lol at Gallows doing an Iron Maiden song.

God that was fucking awful. I'm not that much of an Iron Maiden fun and couldn't care less if a cover sounds a bit different from their original, but that one was just horrible.

The A7X actually wasn't that bad. They sound like they could make a good power metal band, too bad they're emo =/

[AlexTomkins]

I saw Iron Maiden live at twikenham! So fucking awesome!

[CloudConnected]

That's what you get for asking kerrang to make a free IM tribute album, though I must say some songs were done quite while, taking Dream Theater for an example.

[MeatMachine]

My favorite band just got used as toilet paper.

[lauf]

This is an outrage! How dare they fuck up Maiden like this.

[EmmDubya]

Some of them are alright, but the cover of run to the hills is just plain weak.

[ZeroAsALimit]

With such a title, they should have got Queen + Paul Rodgers to do a track?

[Fishdert]

Most Tool covers sound like shit. I don't have links, but take my word... :(

WOOO! So did I :D I think im goin 2 see ac/dc in wembely sstadium pretty soon :D :D :D :D

[Sensationalism]

I liked the DevilDriver one alright. Really though, there's nothing like the original. I'd have to agree that only the last two are any good.

[TheMayo]

I found Nothing Wrong with alot of the covers, you peeps just need to be more open minded

i mean, how great wud the tribute be if it sounded EXACTLY the same?

its a tribute album NOT a greatest hits album

[ouchichi]

Anthrax - Remember Tomorrow

One of my favourite Iron Maiden covers.

I am now listening to it repeatedly to repair the damage done by that Coheed and Cambria cover. *shudders*
