I reckon that the cover is really bad done, what a crappy ripoff

 

[DoReMi]

It's not a ripoff. It's done intentionally.

 

[possessed]

They truly recycle everything.

Riffs...vocalists...album covers.

This thread has nothing to do with Maiden, someone delete it.

 

[Iced In Flames]

I wish someone would delete you...

Haha! Who the fuck are you? Stop waisting everyone's time. It has something to do with Maiden in that the cover resembles that of The Trooper. Hence why both pictures have been posted next to each other like that.

 

[futile]

would someone plz post it ?.. i cant see it :/

 

[Ninja Pyrate]

Copy and paste the link.

If you look at the flag then you will see that it's the snake from the black album by metallica.

 

[Doctor X]

Why do people think Metallica invented that snake? Seriously, the pic resembles the Trooper and it was probably meant to, but do you really think they (Jon) would put a symbol on there that was just on a Metallica album?

Could it possibly be that it isn't a "Metallica" thing at all? Is that even a little bit possible? Hmmm, maybe it has somethng to do with the Revolutionary War theme in the cover.....

 

[Iced In Flames]

The snake wasnt invented by Metallica..... good god

 

[Lightbearer]

I think it's a humorous twist on the Trooper because the dead bodies are Brits. It gave me a laugh so I guess it doesn'y really bother me on a single. I'd be disappointed if it was an actual album.

 

[Reckless]

I think it's a tribute to maiden. Jon is a big fan of maiden. Anybody who thinks they did that thinking hey where doing something origianal is stupid.

It's fuckin obvious it's supposed to be The Trooper. How could anyone think otherwise?

 

[FrostGiant]

All you "Metallica snake" people should read this please.

Do you (Doctor X) think its possible that because i dont come from America, that perhaps i haven't studied all the flags that have been used in their history? Could it be possible? Is that even a little bit possible....?? Hmmmmmm....maybe you're an arsehole.

And it wasn't 'just' released shitface, it was released 10 years ago.

So says the guy from: "Pirate is spelt wrong deliberately...arsewipe "


Maybe if you put your real location instead of some stupid 13 year old saying, then possibly people may have some understanding of you.

"U bent niet gemachtigd deze pagina te bekijken".

Hmmmm.....comparing it to the NEW maidencover.....this one is better.

What a moronic argument. So unless you specify your location, everybody ought to assume you are an american? Don't be fucking stupid. And he could always have asked instead of acting like a patronizing arsehole.
