BongoBob Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Now, I'm not going to call myself an Iron Maiden fan, cause I only know 2-3 Iron Maiden songs. However, this is still a travesty. One of the Maiden songs I know and love is Run To The Hills. Give it a listen if you havn't heard it yet. Last night, I came across a version of it done by a band called Sign, on a Kerrang! tribute cd to Iron Maiden. I don't know how they can get away putting it on a tribute cd. Click, and prepare to cringe. So many things wrong here. Just, just, what the f***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigundr Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am offended. Stupid emo punks trying to "tribute" a song from possibly the greatest epic metal band there is. Who votes firing squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da_man Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was never a fan of Run for the Hills, or Iron Maiden for that matter, but that is a travesty. I hate people who do hideous covers of songs they've probably never heard in depth. Five bucks says that Run for the Hills is the only Iron Maiden song the whole band ahs ever heard, because it was on Rock Band. At least they didn't do 2 minutes to Midnight, then I would be REALLY angry. Probably too complex for them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Tribute albums have to be outlawed NOW!!! Too many horrible, horrible covers ruining my memories of perfectly good songs. Maybe we should go so far as to outlaw the cover song once and for all... just to be safe. I'm sick and tired of seeing lame indie-rockers covering (and always botching and butchering) an otherwise amazing rock classic in order to be "ironic." Trust me... I was more than a little annoyed at this trend before I heard this track (and, for the record: I worshipped Maiden through my mid- and late-teen years...) I watched part of the VH1 "Rock Honors" for The Who last night, and was left totally disappointed. Besides Pearl Jam, (and maybe the Foo Fighters,..) none of the bands had the chops to even play the songs properly... and it seemed like most of them just didn't get it. Lame. DEATH TO COVER VERSIONS OF AMAZING SONGS BY ****TY, ****TY BANDS!!!!! [/end-of-rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoBob Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 In other news, the rest of the cd isn't bad. Coheed and Cambria and Dream Theatre do awesome jobs of The Trooper and To Tame A Land respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapNColostomy Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 . Evil Knievel seems to be the only show off that people genuinely like. lulz to Maxstate and the whole hurf durf thing. I pee'd a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie™ Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hey, you gotta agree that it's a ****ty cover though. But then again, the amount of gruesome cover songs out there by far outweighs the good ones, yet the world keeps turning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I couldn't be bothered to listen to the cover. While not a big Maiden fan, the original was ****ing great. I'll not dick around with anything less worthy. For gruesome covers though, look no further than Graveyard Classics II. It's half lol, half gtfo, which apparently equals win.

Pie™ Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Six Feet Under, right? That looks so goofy that I've made a point to stay away from it. Haha, I see it has a grand total of 23% at The Metal Archives after 14 reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
