All-star Maiden Tribute Album...

[Keyser Soze]

These guys have nothing on the Maidens record, of course... but it is pretty badass:hotjump:

From Blabbermouth....

Legendary rock producer and musician Bob Kulick (KISS, MEATLOAF) has finished producing an all-star tribute to IRON MAIDEN in honor of their 25th anniversary. Culling from his extensive contacts in the musician world, Kulick has assembled major hard rock and metal players to come together and put this tribute album together.

All of the tracks have been completed except for two key signature vocalists to come in and finish the job. Kulick has been using the rest of the finished material to shop around for a label to license the masters and put out the hottest IRON MAIDEN tribute of all time.

I read about it yesterday. It is indeed badass!

 

[Steph Harris]

Glad to hear there's another tribute recording being released ~ it's always fun to hear other people's interpretations of the music. :Spin:

 

[Beast In Flames]

I always like it when bands make real significant changes in the song structures when they cover tunes. Sonata Arctica's cover of Still Loving You by Scorpions is a decent example. Another one's Nothing Else Matters by an unknown band called Solarisis, but I doubt that many people have heard that one.

 

[Metallicat180]

I loved Sonata Arctica's cover of Die With Your Boots On - that guy is an amazing singer!! I'm not a big fan of their music, except the ballads which I absolutely love!!!!

 

[MAIDEN67]

Hope this one is as good as Nativity in Black, the Black Sabbath Tribute. Bruce sang Sabbath Bloody Sabbath on this one. I thought his version was better than the original!! Hope they do Maiden justice! Chris Jericho, wrestler!?! I didn't even know he could sing. My son will be wanting to hear it!

That was an awesome album!!! I remember on the way back from Metallica in Washington DC I was sleeping in the back of the car and my pals thought it would be funny to try and wake me up so they blasted Rob Zombie's Children Of The Grave in my ear - needless to say I never budged!!! I'm used to loud music so it's not gonna bother me!!!

 

[Lord of Delusions]

I haven't seen such a large collection of profesional musicians since that time in the late 80's when I spent 7 months at the Betty Ford clinic. All seriousness aside, it sounds like its gonna be a kick ass album. Any word on a release date?

check out Fozzy... Jericho's band

 

[DreamerDeceiver]

Looks pretty awesome. I'm really looking forward to it!

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

Ya, they really did their marketing homework on this one! There's a whole untapped world of young Maiden freaks in the wrestling crowd! Yay! :hotjump:Spread the word!!!!

 

[MAIDEN67]

Yeah my son is a hardcore wrestling fan. He also is a good entertainer! On the weekends, we would sometimes be messing around and my ex would pull out his guitar (he's been playing for about 22 yrs.-death metal) and start playing. He has a mic because he writes his own stuff. Well, we'd put on certain songs and our son would sing them. He learned Iron Man at 8! He knows how to sing Iron Man, Children of the Sea, Godsmack songs and Disturbed. He is so cool. He gets really into it. A friend of mine told me about Fozzy and I want to get it for my son. But most definitely going to get a copy of the Tribute album and listen to it with him.

It does, doesn't it? The more Maiden, the merrier!!

 

[Red Shirt]

Lemmy doing Trooper? Hahaha... Gawd, I can't even imagine it. It will definitely be an interesting tune!
