More news on Bob Kulick's Maiden tribute album

[Blitzkrieg]

I am a huge fan of Cradle Of Filth's "Hallowed Be Thy Name". Fantastic cover.

"deeestunt skaiiiieeessss"

I'm personally looking forward to:

7. Aces High

V - Jeff Scott Soto (Yngwie Malmsteen, Soul Sirkus)
G - Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme, Dramagods)
B - Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Niacin)
D - Vinnie Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio)

8. 2 Minutes To Midnight

V - Joe Lynn Turner (Deep Purple, Rainbow)
G - Richie Kotzen (Mr. Big, Poison)
G - Bob Kulick (Paul Stanley Band, Meatloaf)
B -Tony Franklin (The Firm)
D - Chris Slade (AC/DC, The Firm)

It's funny you mention those..
Aces High is one of the more disappointing tracks (JSS can sound so much better than he does here), while 2 Minutes To Midnight might just be the best!

It is very hard indeed to improve on originals. There are some songs that sound better as covers than originals, but not all that many.

Like every Ozzy song, ever.

Go fuck a pear I'm 17 now.

I don't need to fuck pears. I have a wife.


I agree with Blitzy. COF's versoin of 'Hallowed...' fucking rocks.

[The Amazer]

CoF's Hallowed is unreal!

 

[Keeper of the Seven Cheese]

Oh god, I fucking hate that cover. Its as shit as the new trooper one lol

 

[Blitzkrieg]

No, it is actually fantastic, you are just young, dumb, and ful..

 

[Goreripper]

Cradle of Filth are a great heavy metal band. They are loud, obnoxious, over-the-top, bombastic and don't give a shit who likes them and who doesn't. And musically, they're just like Iron Maiden, but with heaps of keyboards and shrieky vocals.

Fuck yeah, they're great. A lot of black metal heads don't like them because they're not tr00 enough, but then a lot of black metal heads are dickheads.

I like it how just as the song kicks in danny barks like a dog....the sands of time for mee are running loowowwww...........arf arf arffff! Top stuff!!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I thought he actually screeched "Motherfuckers!"....the only part of the cover that I found unnecessary.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Listening to it now, I think he screeches that while there is some other barking type noise over the top of it.

The keys in this cover rock my nuts.
