I know your a COB fan...ever hear their cover of "The Trooper"? I actually like it more than Maiden's version! Haha
Yeah, I usually don't really like covers because too many times they don't offer anything that the original song doesn't, and bands tend to only make them as EP filler material. That said COB's version of the Trooper is awesome. They also do an awesome cover of Europe's "The Final Contdown." They could have done without the cover of Britany Spears' "Oops I did it Again" though...
Iron Maiden is easily one of the most covered bands while i'm thinking about it. Cradle of Filth's version of "Hallowed Be Thy name" is also one of the best Iron Maiden covers I've ever heard. Sentenced did a "Trooper" cover a while back that was really good as well.
I agree I find it very original when one metal band covers another and its basically nothing different than the old song. I want creativity thats why I loved some of Megadeth's covers.
Haha :rofl: No way they covered that...seriously???? I never knew that. WTF Norther had a cover on "The Final Countdown". It was ok I guess, I just never like the original version to begin with
Hah. While we're on the topic of cover songs, one of my favorite ones is 1349's cover of Mayhems "Buried in Time and Dust". It may not be as good as the original, but its still pretty darn good in my book.
Nice, I'll have to check that out. Did they try to pull off Atilla's crazy vocals? Freeeeeeezzzzziziinnnnnnnnnggggggg Mooooooonnnnnn! :lol:
I got the COB's trooper and Cradel of Filth's Hallowed be thy name Favourite Maiden song is Hallowed followed by Trooper, Aces High, Bring your daughter to the slaughter is good, The prisoner is alrite
That song has actually been covered a few times. Obituary and Opeth did good versions of it. Classic metal right there!
Oh yeah, another COB cover song, and actually one of my favorites, that we didnt mention Children of Bodom - Hellion (WASP cover) :top:
I've heard the Obituary cover on Cause of Death,didn't know Opeth did it too. I'll have to check it out.
Hehe. I am stongly considering it. I actually do have a little spare cash. I wanna get Bolt Thower's Mercenary too Carcass - This is Your Life
