Fightstar - Fear of the Dark

[superchepito]

If you listen: "Fear of the duck", your ears are TOO FUCKING BAD ¬¬

[imajessachu]

No, just no.

[minecraftgamingvids2]

FEAR OF THE DUCK FEAR OF THE DUCK I HAVE A PHOBIA THAT BIRDS ARE ALWAYS THERE

[mony12014]

I prefer the black metal version with graveworm

[therandomsk8erben]

Coheed's was brill, but the voice was too weird. This is brilliant. The REAL Charlie Simpson.

[rkarley]

Awesome!!!

[supermpe]

2:03 Ο ΜΠΟΥΓΑΣ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΑΕΙ IRON MAIDEN ΑΧΑΧΑΧΧΑΑΧΧΑΑΧΑΧΑΧΑΧΑΧΧΑΑΧΧΑ

[jackobbe92]

If Charlie says DUCK also Bruce says DUCK because the pronunciation is the same! This cover is fucking amazing!

[Silversun15]

I Love Fightstar, and I love Charlie, but Coheed covers Iron Maiden much better.

[MrEwanski]

@Silversun15 Sorry mate, Coheed fucking buttraped The Trooper.

[jose19821223]

fear of the duck, fear of the chiken, fear of his accent, fear of master wong!

[SuperflyDungeonGuy]

Fear of the Duck!

Fear of the Duck!

I have a constant fear that birds are always near!

Fear of the Duck!

Fear of the Duck!

I have a phobia there's mallards over there!

[mosku66]

best cover ever

[7ThLamb]

i hate the guy who comment ruin this song ¬¬

now i can´t stop hearing DUCK instead of DARK D: i wanna die!! now i can´t take maiden as serious as i should

[RASTABLANCA]

Fear of this cover ... this sucks ..

[PrinceofDarkness9585]

FEAR OF THE DUCK! WOOOOO!

[4600andy]

Fear of the Duck!

[Darciaaak]

fucking shit.... -.-

[darkcasi89]

yeaaaah!

[7777777x7777777]

THE best Fear of the Dark cover. All the other covers have that death metal screaming which screws up the song.

[ksiroriver]

my comment is number 777 a fantastic number for a comment on a fantastic song like this

[TomDrummer15]

im not one for Fightstar, but i have to admit, the effort they put into this song is amazing !

[ifyourlistening]

It sounds like Trey Parker is singing.

[MrAnimepredator]

I have heard real version and kalmah version and now this and I think they are all really awesome XD

[Furblz]

Anatidaephobia.

GOOOGLE IT.

[jgamefreak]

Lmao, you "fear of the duck" fuckers have ruined this song for me forever!!! :P Curse you!

[srdark12]

i really love this song, even if it is a cover and talks about ducks....

[iceiceiceification]

Fear of the duck!!! scary fukin duck!!!

[alonso502]

fantastico

[swatdaman]

Sounds epic.

[YellowAeroplane123]

that must be one scary duck...

i love fightstar :)

[tom0380]

This is so bad it hurts.

[HardCoreLew]

Excellent cover, but I keep laughing at 'fear of duck'.

[MaidenMadeOfIron]

this is the best cover of fear of the dark even if he is saying fear of the duck :P

this is better then maidens studio version but when maiden play it live nobody stands a chance of coming anywhere near as good :)

[freakontwist]

FART IN THE DARK!!! :D

[MaidenMetal100]

awesome cover!

[mattop251]

LOL gravewurms sing like ducks :p

[SykezKidd1]

This is epic...

[Gimped88]

FEAR OF THE DUCK!

[igaumzzz]

this is the best version of "fear of the dark".

[AllKnowingRocker]

would be cool if they covered stairway :)

[01becken]

ok it is your cover but the original don´t have public to sing

[01becken]

ok it is your cover

[robmilsom]

Liitle girls would be crying if they found at this is what happened to Busted

[DecadentFilms]

rather try teh Graveworm cover:)

[swammyluisha]

when i close my eyes at night i can still hear those ducks quacking...

[HeyTray1]

he's right. Ducks are scary. i can still hear the qquacking at night...

[AllKnowingRocker]

i dont hate on covers for the sake of being covers, and frankly. this is fantastic. even if you dont like it, its impossible to ignore the quality of it.

[Deuteronomy213]

it sounds fine until the main verses and the chorus. Then it sounds like some post-grunge bullshit

[Exorcistic]

@Deuteronomy213 Fightstar plays mainly post-hardcore, and this is their take on this song so of course it won't sound the same as the original.

[EchoPoint1]

@ThatKidKarl1 How good was that night :D that was my first maiden concert :) Blood Brothers was the best song of the night :)

[msh8501]

this cover sucks, sound too pop

[punkpop102]

@msh8501 Yeah and your comment sounds Metal huh?

[msh8501]

yes, the evil duck!!!!!!!!!

[RtosVadumee]

Next one to like this gets the number of the beast!

[FirstBloodDota]

fear of the duck.

[Actueel68]

I checked out this bands other songs... funny how it took a Maiden song to make them somewhat tolerable. Seriously, they did good on this cover.. but their own songs suck cock.

[BidleyThePirate]

What a load of shit.

[DarkLordNagash]

Hey ! A Maiden cover that isn't actually BAD ! Well, the singer's voice is much too deep for Dickinson's vocals but at least it's nice to listen to :D

[EchoPoint1]

Saw Maiden do this last night! :D

[ZEROLOVEism]

i love this song ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[dakkagor]

this. is fuckin'. awesome. But then I love fightstar and Iron Maiden, so its a win win for me.

[Silversun15]

Charlie Simpson is the man

[sam7947]

u din have to murder the song for this ....

[MrJordankp]

u have killed a great song i hope your happy!

[rumnraisin1]

Damn this is awful... stick to the pop - that's what you're good at!

[xxxSasuke4evaxxx]

@rumnraisin1

He has not done pop music in over 6 years, grow the fuck up with all the nit picking at music. It's a fucking cover. It's not ment to rival the origonal song.

It is also helping Maiden. Iron Maiden are an old band with older/mature fans (thry do have a lot of young ones too) Without tributes to them knowbody would discover them unless they grow up with there parentsss listening to them.

[rumnraisin1]

@xxxSasuke4evaxxx I just meant that this isn't a great cover. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and there is no need to get personal. I think you should also take a good long look at who is telling people to 'grow the fuck up'... clearly you have nothing better to do than insult strangers who have a different opinion to you on a website. Plus, at the end of the day, I'm sure he's heard worse criticism and he's paid enough not to care!

[lampguy9400]

@xxxSasuke4evaxxx Nobody's going to discover Iron Maiden? They're like the biggest metal band in the history of the world this side of Metallica.

[BreakingGraceProd456]

I honestly love this cover. not as much as the original, but i still love it.

[FirstBloodDota]

THE MIGHTY DUCKS !

[leabs]

This. is. AWESOME.

[EllieEmergancy]

i would of been able to hear the word DARK in stead of the word DUCK , if i diddnt read them comments -.-

[hatredcoptr67]

@EllieEmergancy hell yeah...lmfao. The intro was interesting....I was digging it.... then I was not liking the singer's voice...then DUCK every time!

[Paulmarti]

@EllieEmergancy Way to be an asshole and get a top comment you fucking dick. I wasn't even going to read the comments, but I didn't even have to scroll down to see your's.

[marqstheman]

Dope!

[jeffhardyfan14]

"Feel of the Duck"?????

[imungie]

@jeffhardyfan14 at that part i thought it said "feel up the duck" o:

[okshimodo]

You feel "fear of the dark"

[yeabudie745]

FUCK! It IS DUCK!

[xXhexer666bloodXx]

i have to say this is the umteanth remake of this song but i like cradel of filth and grave worms verson this one still kicks ass though

[10078g]

i say this evey maiden cover lol , no1 can beat maiden , no1 can beat bruces voice , although this guy is quite good , bass sucks here , steve harris is the god , this 1 is slightly more agressive and modern witch i like , maiden still is better

[ryhorn100]

@10078g To be honest, this song is one of those that the original cannot be beaten by any cover. But this is still an amazing cover nonetheless.

[johngrimezy]

@ryhorn100 i actualy think its better and am an avid maiden fan, its just delivers much higher pace its amazing and the dude from busted voice is amazing

[marioandluigi012345]

Dark, dark, darkity dark DARK. Now I shouldn't hear "duck" anymore...wait...OH SHI-

[lexriani]

quack quack.

[markimo2]

i didnt hear fear of the duck tbh lol must be cause i listen to the song so much

[Mephisto2913]

LOL

"Fear of the Duuuuckkkkkk!!!"

[LadyMorganaLeFey]

I think this cover it's better than original by Iron Maiden. Charlie's voice is amazig.

[SuperBassMastar]

@LadyMorganaLeFey

Never say anything is better than Maiden! No one can top Iron Maiden! Iron Maiden are the most talented musicians in history! They shall be remembered long after they are gone.

[LadyMorganaLeFey]

@SuperBassMastar It's your opinion, not mine. I can think what I want.

[johngrimezy]

@SuperBassMastar true but dude dont kiss ass

[s600ggy]

unfortunatly i now like a fightstar song lol very good cover tho dose it justice :) !

[benjamin80ify]

well howard the duck kicks ass!

[grandzenon]

duck or dark this cover kicks ass!!!!!

[blackman147258]

Hell yeah!!

Ducks are Irons!!

Up the Irons!!

Up the Fightstar!!

Up the Ducks!!

[GrizDrummer25]

i swear Fear of the Dark (duck) is the most covered song

[PK2K]

@GrizDrummer25  no it isnt it's smoke on the water

[catshumpcats3]

i like the vocals

[ryhorn100]

Why the fuck do people make a big deal just because it sounds like Charlie sings duck instead of dark? Who cares? That's just one mistake (as if you can call it one). Aside from that, this is one amazing cover, and I can tell that Iron Maiden would agree with me.

[NotHere2PlzU]

@ryhorn100 it's a joke lol even iron maiden sound like there saying duck, it's just a twist of words. But yea i agree with you it's a fantastic cover :)

[HdeH77]

@ryhorn100 I think you are right about that , they would agree ! maiden is great but this cover best i have heard so far!

[WickerM4n]

He's really struggling with the higher notes. Great cover nonetheless.

[cortadew]

\m/

[adevilone]

Well, the song's not perfect, It's still a cover... But these guys are awesome, it's the best cover of Maiden's original version. I speak like Charlie, the singer, so I didn't make the difference between your "Duck" and "Dark".

Anyway, great song, and thank you all, now I fear ducks XD

[DaFlow994]

59 People fears Donald DUCK!

\m/

[gimvarg]

the vocals leave something to be desired, imo.. but then again, look at who he's trying to cover. ;)

[bringhimthehorizon1]

hahahahahahaha duck

[MarylinBreakdown]

FEAR OF THE DUCK!

[JustCallMeGod1]

fuckin duck XD

[DeathZomby]

fuck the duck¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ahahahhaha xD

[phantomwinny]

fear of the duck....quack,quack!

when i 'm walking a duck room? muhahahaha, thats delicious!

[1janehunter]

Fucking AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME.;)::):):)­:)

[Coverguy88]

cool :D

[LordAkaneon]

COMMENT #666

[smexypeep]

To be honest, I think I prefer this :\

[markgunther90]

Like acid to my ears. This is shocking. It's almost like I'm listening to Maiden, except that it's shit and overly melodic with a weak pussy voice. Disgusting. I need to go to another Maiden gig immediately to cleanse myself.

[AstronoughtNugget]

@markgunther90 wrooong

[dixon247366]

actually the other day i thought it sunded a bit like duck, atleast i know it isnt just my ears

[chaosnovaxz]

Goddamn you guys and your ducks! Now I can't hear anything else. <_<

Awesome cover, nonetheless.

[sparkzy22]

omg!!!! major eargasm at charlie's voice singing this awesome song

[ScarsOfTheCrucifix]

That duck must be really frightened :(

[dadrules07]

Love the original

[ninjafu95]

I find this version stands toe-to-toe with the original, even if he does say fear of the dick. He can't help it. They've produced an excellent cover of an excellent song

[mettizzo]

@rockingrugger allright thanks a lot, i appreciate it :)

[rockingrugger]

@mettizzo Welcome! (:

[mettizzo]

@rockinggrugger allright thanks a lot, i appreciate it :)

[mettizzo]

does anyone know what tuning this cover is in, because i wanna learn to play this version ( when i play the maiden version its a bit un-powerfull) thanks :)

[rockingrugger]

@mettizzo Standard Eb. Same as Sturm Und Drang's version :)

[MrOwnYou4Fun]

Fear of the duck!

[zeregaa]

Fear of the duck!

[69fixxxer]

Fuckin good cover guys!

[Ilidrael]

Guys I don't understand why you hate the singer's voice, I personnaly think it's perfect. I love this version way more than the original, but the original is still awesome too.

[jackobbe92]

@Ilidrael Fightstar are awesome and this cover is awesome, so I agreee with you! :D

[KiLLxDoZeR]

@Ilidrael mmm no nothing beats the original

[Ilidrael]

@KiLLxDoZeR mmm yes this one does.

[KiLLxDoZeR]

@Ilidrael mmm no it dont the solo has no where near the same melody and feeling not even close lol even the guitarist here would disagree with you shut up

[maspitch]

@Ilidrael :O i dont think anyones cover will beat iron maidens but yeah this is still an awsome cover :)

[Thejoshualoler101]

thats not a good iron maiden cover but its a nice song :p

FEAR OF THE DUCK !!!!!!!!!

[valles666]

god damn u bastards with fear of the duck now thats all i hear gaaah  anyways the cover is verry good for the instrumental work its verry good vocals there are some parts where u can hear the vocalist struggle since his voice cant reach high notes and u can clearly tell he struggles but overal this is a verry good cover so i give these guys 3 and a half stars XD

[MrGosmo]

I do it better!

[nialllprule]

@MrGosmo go on put your money where your mouth is

[pakman286]

goodass cover

[hottipott]

Cool voice. 

[MrZefaulka]

son of a bitch its bothering the fuck out of me cuz all i can hear is DUCK because of you assholes

[Stevelord666]

It sounds like the singer is frowning while he sings xD

[eoltheelf]

"Fear of the duck", as in "Fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you"?

See Anatidaephobia...

[demonik5000]

@eoltheelf HAH YES! XD

[Kioftes412]

@eoltheelf epic.....

[bloodshed786]

@eoltheelf =.= i hate you......i hear fear of the duck now.....

[ridasKSEuk]

i don't care if this guy was in busted or the spice girls, hes now in a band covering iron maiden and covering them well.

[japman682]

@ridasKSEuk right i give the guy credit he went from pop stardom to a more alternative/heavy metal tone. it like saying miley cyrus is going to stop singing pop music and move into metalcore....

[fightstar1]

its just pathetic how much people argue over the internet

[kental8]

So far the best cover of iron maiden!

[kingvizzero]

i am a man who walks alone and when i'm walkin' in a DUCK road....

[janlesdotcom]

seriously

like,.its not thaaaaaaat awful

but like he's saying fear of the duck.......

but what I want to know;.

Is who was like,.Maiden covers,yeah lets get the guy who used to be in busted......

[outlier1985]

....DAMN IT. Now all I can hear is DUCK. I hate you all.

[Frosty525]

@outlier1985 Yeah... same here..

[MeTaLiZoPo]

@outlier1985 hahahahahha

[ragnerock117]

@outlier1985 good ol london accent and lack of "r" in their words.... fun how being from different parts of the island can affect how different they say words. Much lose those here in the US most people don't understand me considering i'm from the south west lol

[PISS1311]

@outlier1985 HELL!!!!!Me too....Fear of the Duck!!!HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL!!­!!!

[MetallicaForeva100]

a little anxious when it's duck

[tehDave08]

Fear of the duck.... so the phobia he's going on about is "Anatidaephobia"?

On a more serious note, this is actually quite a good cover.

[kaskienemyofgod]

omg disney totally did something to them when they were little

[Alaska1925]

FEAR OF THE DUCK!!!

[MrMrSanti]

I have to admit that this is a great cover

[soilwork88]

@happyguycol tard

[greatfelixo]

from busted to iron maiden covers he definately sorted himself out
