Best Maiden covers ever

Dunno if any of you have seen this before, but it rules

The Trooper sounds cool, and there's also 2 Minutes To Midnight. All done by mouth

Cool rendition of Angel Of Death by Slayer too

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah someone posted those not so long ago. Pretty funny indeed.

 

[phlogiston]

I have that Etheral cover. 'Tis cool, particularly the female vox. And the picollo/violin solo!

 

[phlogiston]

And that's a big call on the Opeth cover too (now I've heard it). It's not bad, but the singer ain't no Paul Di'anno, let me tell you.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

The Etheral cover sounds interesting, I would like to hear it.

I think Anthrax's cover of 'Remember Tomorrow' is better than Opeth's, and is one of the best Maiden covers I have heard.
I know not many people here will agree with me, but I think Cradle Of Filth's cover of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' is quite good.

 

[Spiff]

Sebastian Bach's cover of Children of the Damned rules!

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

The only Maiden cover I've heard that I really liked was Sebastian Bach doing Children Of The Damned. Most other Maiden covers suck.

But Baz doing Children.... phwoar!!!

(And by that I mean "But Sebastian Bach doing Children of the Damned..." haha, nothing sexual haha!)

 

[Winmar]

Yeah sure Trent, I believe you.

The Cradle of Filth cover isn't too bad. I quite like it myself.

They played Dokaka's version of Angel of Death on RRR here in Melbourne tonight. Pretty funny stuff! Actually they're fucking good.

Dungeon's Wasted Years is cool, too

 

[Wrathchild]

As is Dungeon's Caught Somewhere In Time, and Prowler with the Powerslave bit on the end .

[Celestial-Todd]

Anytime Dungeon play Maiden it's pure gold!

I also really like the Cradle of Filth cover... and I can't really stand them at all!

 

[Goreripper]

Maiden covers that I can't stand:

Sentenced doing 'The Trooper'
Sonata Arctica doing whatever it was they did off 'Piece of Mind'

(dis)Honourable mention:
Chalice doing 'Alexander the Great'. I nearly pissed myself when they did that.

 

[Goreripper]

Oh here's another one:

Six Feet Under doing 'Wrathchild'

 

[Sydo]

Some good covers;

Purgatory - Wardog
Evil That Men Do - Conquest
Ides of March/Purgatory - From A Call To Irons
Genghis Khan - Angel Corpse
Hallowed Be Thy Name - Solitude Aeternus
Transylvania - Absu
The Prisoner - FOZZY!!

Troops is right, Sebastian singing Children Of The Damned = Best Maiden cover ever

 

[Sydo]

The vocals are great.

 

[Goreripper]

'Ides/Purgatory' was covered by Steel Prophet. I'd be surprised if they couldn't do a decent Maiden cover.

 

[Sydo]

That's it. One of the best covers I've heard.

 

[Spiff]

Yep, Steel Prophet's cover is brilliant. Putting Ides and Purgatory together was pure genius.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Dungeon's 'Wasted Years' and particularly 'Caught Somewhere In Time' are both great, but their live version of 'Children Of The Damned' was cooler. Even better than the Sebastion Bach version, which is also great.
