Hallowed be thy Name -Iced earth (Iron maiden cover)

[deathmetalCharles]

grave worms cover of fear of the dark is so awesome. this cover is also badass. hail metal! and satan

[GodLike282]

This is very good cover..Iced Earth sang the song of their way and it`s very very good cover...but any cover will NEVER be better then original...UP THE IRONS!!!!...btw this is great tribute album.. :D ..stay proud!!!

[MrSchmea]

Best Maiden cover out there period! Check out Machine Head's cover for this song, it's also great

[MultipleScrotum]

@MrSchmea No! Solitude Aeturnus version of Hallowed Be Thy Name is better than this one.

[death21metal]

@MrSchmea , Machine Heads cover rules!

[extronus]

This is by far the best cover of the Hallowed be thy Name to date.

[MultipleScrotum]

@extronus Fuck no! Solitude Aeturnus version is much better.

[extronus]

@MultipleScrotum Yes, it's good. Very good. But no, I liked this one much better

[MultipleScrotum]

@extronus Well, we are all entitled to our own opinion. However, this version fails, because NO Maiden cover should ever lack a strong bass preseance, and this one is almost nonexistent.

[Blackinterceptor999]

a LOT better then that ghey sounding COF cover....that one wasn't there best song they did...this one, yeah much better.

[blackman147258]

The edge of fuckyeah

Have a lot of famous bands covering your songs.

long life to Iron Maiden!!

[Eur0nymous]

nice cover , i enjoyed it.

[Imaguitarplayer22]

After listening to many covers of this song, the original CANNOT BE TOPPED. The end.

[Blackinterceptor999]

@Imaguitarplayer22 Of course it can't be "topped" that's not the point its a tribute to the originals...

[n3m0prince]

@Imaguitarplayer22 dats obvious dude.... covers are just a tribute to the songand its composers...

[agentcamo]

wtf does this have to do with Cradle of Filth? lol

[lunarotha]

@agentcamo cause cof coverd this song tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[agentcamo]

So did few other bands :P including Machine Head and Dream theater

[smithdsmit]

that sounded great

[brontosaurious]

Cradle of crap, LOL!

[rkrokberg]

Not as epic as the original

BUT GOD THIS BAND ROCKS!!!!

[MegaRollerblade]

better than cradle of crap version.

[MegaRollerblade]

not bad.

[Gladiusor]

Damn Barlow, very nice cover!

[socenta]

g=k.-)

[socenta]

This guitarists playing lige a heart operator professor!

Than you,for uploadin!

[socenta]

Nagyon nagy!!!!

[rhezer]

As much as i love Iced Earth i think this song cannot be changed, or should not be. Original is just perfect.

[nikolai1987ful]

buena buenazaaaaaa esta hace años q no la escuchaba  ...........

lo maximo esta version.............

[rednek454]

@TheJesterOverlord hell yeah brother!!!!!!! put'em in their lil bottle suckin places!!!!!! PREACH ON!!!!!

[sharplyfast1]

is he crying when singing this?

:/ just like maiden a lot better

[lolenata84]

IE is my fav i like cradle too and maiden there are just covers FOR MAIDEN AND NOT IMPROVE THAT ONE BAND IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER IS JUST cause they show RESPECT TO MAIDEN

[00michaelmaestri00]

@mrrocknrollsuicide: you should go hang yourself. you are so ignorant and closed minded. you're the type of people who make the american public look like complete idiots. you are a disgrace to the world. go kill yourself.

[MrRocknRollsuicide]

this cover sucks and so does Cradle Of Filth, hope you emo fucks who like these bands learn your fucking lesson at once... this is not metal, this is emo shit

[RtosVadumee]

@MrRocknRollsuicide

Iced Earth is more metal than Maiden.. Not saying I like them more, just static an obvious fact!

[ManMadeGod4]

Why are we arguing about what cover is better? It's not liking after 12 pages of a back-and-forth argument will cause everyone to suddenly agree that (insert band name)'s cover is the best.

You came hear to listen to the cover, not bitch about other covers.

[TheRolling123]

@rolingjaylday LADIES LADIES ur all pretty. stop bitching and enjoy the music,Both MAIDEN AND CoF have ,make their mark on metal.

[hbkShawnMichaels6]

Damn fanboys. Everyone listens to whatever he likes. Stop shitting on each other cause this is childish and stupid. Great cover btw.

[Kiki3141592]

In Japan, all of Heavy Metal musics made a fool of by so many Japanese people.

In America, people who listen to Heavy Metal are LOOSER, ex-MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman said, hahaha that's true!

I'm afraid metal fans thought are tooooo narrow, that's made Heavy Metal "Ugly".

[TheEternalEnigma]

whos the motherfucker singing he sounds like a tool

[iridanou4]

i am 14 years old and i am a maiden/iced earth fan for 7 years...hallowed be thy name is the best song of maiden imo. and now i search youtube and i find an iced earth cover...first of all i have to say that the original is always better BUT i really perfer the quitar and such more than maiden's. but i must say that NOONE in the world can and will ever be able to sing a song better than bruce....btw the original says "if there's a god why does he let me go" instead of die"

[bajamaja666]

Listen to Machine Heads cover of this song instead of both Iced Earth and COF, its insanely awsome!

[Wyndrax]

@bajamaja666 Haha are you actually comparing Machine Head to Iced motherfucking Earth?

What the hell is wrong with kids these days?

[bajamaja666]

@Wyndrax haha Iced motherfucking Earth yeeaah heavy metal xD............well, to soft in my opinion, i want more anger and headbang frendly in my music but you agree to disagree i guess so lets just end it here.

btw Machine Fucking Head FTW!!! ;)

[dikkekak2]

@bajamaja666 dude, listen some ' night of the stormrider' 'dark saga' burnt offerings' and say again that they are too soft...

[89thunder]

@Wyndrax Machine Head fucking sucks

[petek44875]

All I know is Matt Barlow was meant to sing this song

[iamst]

i really dont care who writed it

all what i knw is COF did the song the best way and u all know this

[pumpkinheadjack9]

@iamst I don't know this. Because it holds as much weight as wet tissue paper.

[TedHardytheEnigma]

@iamst rofl.i pitty you.

[Drummer23Scarecrow]

why doesn't the reaction have an epic button ?

[avii5429]

You people suck! I am a true Cradle Of Filth Fan! and I can tell you for a fact! Cradle of filth never wrote the song...just covered it...and for all those people who say they never covered it and it was Graveworm...grow up...why would EVERYONE think its Cradle of Filth if it were Graveworm? would you Hear an Iron Maiden song and say its Rise against?

[JohannesFrykholm]

@avii5429 Haha what, fuck CoF anyway, they fucking suck. And their version of this epic song is a fucking disgrace....

[xkamisorix]

@avii5429 COF covered Hallowed Be Thy Name while Graveworm covered Fear of the Dark. those who think COF wrote this song are trolls ;)

[ironmaidenfan6666]

Matt Barlow's voice fits this song perfectly! Best Maiden cover there is.

[WishmasterTheDark]

Cradle Of Filth is pop-emo-gay band, do not mention them on Heavy Metal music videos.

[Kiki3141592]

@WishmasterTheDark Maybe you hate Judas Priest.......SO SAD!!!!!! You're not metal fan!!

[WishmasterTheDark]

@Kiki3141592

you can suck it, poser

[Kiki3141592]

@WishmasterTheDark Stupid person only say "suck", "poser", hahaha!! CRAZY!!

I hate heavy metal fan LIKE YOU!

[WishmasterTheDark]

@Kiki3141592

At least you wrote HEAVY Metal fan, not just "Metal", my respect for you, but anyway you are a poser lol!

I checked your profile now, you listen to Cradle Of Filth, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Dark Funeral, Within Temptation, katty perry. Aahahaha start listening to some Heavy Metal like Manowar, HammerFall, Gamma Ray bitch!

[Kiki3141592]

@WishmasterTheDark What?? Are you hate Dark Funeral?? WHAT??????

Are you hate Within Temptation??? CRAZY!!!!!!

You're listening Nightwish and Sonata Arctica! This is tooooooo POP!!

YOU ARE FALSE METAL FAN, HAHAHAHA!

You're laughed by Marty Friedman!! Marty said, "Metal Fan is LOOOSER"!!!

I think people like you are true LOOOOSER!!!!

[WishmasterTheDark]

@Kiki3141592

Ahaahahaha mallcore poser kid, grow up. You've heard of Marty Friedman? Aahahaha wow, you are awesome.

By the way, you are pop music fan judging to your music taste lol!

[Kiki3141592]

@WishmasterTheDark Marty can speak Japanese language and said "Metal is too lame"!

First time I denied, but I saw metal fans like YOU, I can't denied!

Why didn't you pick up "Avril Lavigne", "Alanis Morrisette", ".t.A.T.u"???

I have GAMMA RAY's CD. But all musics aren't GAMMA RAY!! YOU SHOULD KNOW!!

Why Dark Funeral listener is poser???????????????

[Kiki3141592]

@WishmasterTheDark HEY! WHY Don't YOU REPLY!?!?

TELL ME WHY DARK FUNERAL LISTENER IS POSER!?!?!?!?!?

TEEEELLLLLL MEEEEE!!!!!!

And Why didn't you pick up Paula Cole?? She's not Metal too. You don't know Paula Cole!?!? Your knowledge sooo poor!?!? TELL ME!!!!!

[PulseOfTheDragon]

@WishmasterTheDark cradle of filth pop-emo-gay band ? am sure that u fucking sissy to say that about one of the greatest metal bands EVER !!!!

[WishmasterTheDark]

@PulseOfTheDragon

In that case you fit in the description I mentioned.

[PulseOfTheDragon]

@WishmasterTheDark its to bad that i dont give a fuck . . . cradle of filth is a kickass band and it is clear they kicked yours too

[RtosVadumee]

@WishmasterTheDark pop-emo? I'm laughing!

Far from my favorite band, but they are anything but pop!

[legionariocanibal]

@WishmasterTheDark que wea laji culiao

[perkinification]

@WishmasterTheDark don't forget children of bodom ;)

[WishmasterTheDark]

@perkinification

You mean they are gay too?

[JohannesFrykholm]

@perkinification Hey shut up. Cradle Of Faggots suck, I mean they are black metal of course they suck..... but CoB is good. They're melodic death metal, which is on the good side of the line between good and bad metal

[perkinification]

@JohannesFrykholm for ME that is not black metal.. cradle is gay and cob too. is like listening to advenged poserfold. metal is metal like thrash, heavy, power, black, folk, death, etc. any of these with another word is gay xd

[matthew62592]

@perkinification you have one problem you care too much about genres

[matthew62592]

@perkinification it really doesnt matter heavy metal means no rules.cradle and bodom are geniouses for doing their own thing instead of doing shit that everybody else was doing.the took some of their favorite bands and melded them into one

[metalhead82891]

@JohannesFrykholm Dude...I've heard some pretty sick Black Metal. Listen to some fucking Celtic Frost or Mayhem, then come tell me that Black Metal sucks.

[JohannesFrykholm]

@metalhead82891 You're screwing with me right?? Mayhem is the worst, crappiest, and weirdest band of all time...

[TheCostas1990]

@WishmasterTheDark dear motherfucker because you dont like cof it doesnt means that you cant pass a critic on them because you are afraid of to listn to them and their cover is awesome so i recommned you to shut up

[WishmasterTheDark]

@TheCostas1990

I am afraid of bunch of fags? Ahahahaaa!

I don't listen to shitty pop music, sorry.

Even JB has more balls than DF. Ahahahaa!

[thenamelesscrow]

@TheCostas1990 don't listen to him, he's a catholic... and apparently proud of being one.

Heavy Metal is all about being open to new concepts within music, and apparently people have been taking that upside down lately. Everyone thinks they have the right to say what's metal and what ain't... for some stupid reason. I personally respect Cradle of filth, although i'm not that much into black metal as I used to, the point is, stick to what you love, and defend it til death... that's metal.

[Nightwolfendor]

@thenamelesscrow fucking right,

[TheCostas1990]

Απάντηση σε αυτό το βίντεο...  awesome cover

[MrMatt29999]

better thent he cradle of shit version

but still not even close to the same level of maiden

[Mclovin171]

Why so much hate on COF? Their lyrics are pure brilliant poetry and they have some very incredible songs. Look up "Thank God For the Suffering" and tell me that isn't one of the most beautiful symphonic metal songs ever.

[hjoermungand]

@Mclovin171 might be true but dani actually looks like a retarded midget :)

[Mclovin171]

@hjoermungand

Who cares what he looks like? lol. It's music, not Americas Next Top Model

[hjoermungand]

@Mclovin171 well, i can't take a little black coated dwarf too serious, jumping around and screaming like a girl; you should see them live once lol, it's hilarious

[Mclovin171]

@hjoermungand

That does sound entertaining, lmfao. Touche. But nonetheless - kick ass music. :D

[hjoermungand]

@Mclovin171 i must admit, the song you mentioned ain't that bad :>

[Kiki3141592]

@Mclovin171 I can't understand too. I love COF version, and love COF songs. Some people loves COF, another people loves Iron Maiden, and other people loves Iced Earth.....

All bands shoudn't be hated.

[DarkAngelEvilAngel]

Omg, I like this cover, although, I prefer the original. I liked a lot, I can't say this in other cover of other bands. (I don't mean that those bands are bad, maybe I love their albums but their Maiden's cover not)

Sorry for my bad english TT-TT

[TheIdahoAsylum]

Bitch bitch bitch... Statistics never lie. When COF is internationally touring and the lead singer flies the tour plane and fills 100,000 seats at a stand alone show, then we can start to think they may be somewhat up to par with Maiden. I would rather listen to my ex wife bitch at me than hear COF and that is saying ALLOT! COF cannot up the irons! For more maiden facts that rule check out wikipedia.

[jasonjlaw]

Nah. Cradle of Filth just disrespects metal. Fucking god awful shit along the likes of Pop Metal and Lady Gaga.

[maskseverywhere]

hilarious, this is horrible

[kamiloazul46]

great cover is not to compare it to enjoy :D XD

[kamiloazul46]

severo cover no se trata de comparar sino de disfrutar :D XD

[coolagenta1]

he sounds like hes about to break into tears at any moment. tis why i pref original....

[RocknLee]

@coolagenta1 Fuck yeah i know!, someone agrees lol

[InAGaddaDaVida29]

@coolagenta1 Maybe that makes the song more interesting. I mean the character in the song is about to be put to death, and clearly believes he doesn't deserve it. Would you not break into tears?

[RustyWaffle]

fukn fagotz tryin 2 covr cradel of filth UR DUMB GO DIE

[samarhello]

@RustyWaffle Idiot!! It's Maiden's song originally, and Iced Earth was there before cradle of fifth's annoying attention seeking crap!

[thehatehouse]

@RustyWaffle Oh god I hope you're joking.

[IHateEternal]

@RustyWaffle Wow, the metal world has taken a step back with this one... Has anyone even ever covered a Cradle song? Of note anyway? I like CoF but to assume the worst Hallowed Be Thy Name COVER ever is the original is just lame. Iced Earth weren't the first to cover this but they were way before CoF filth and did 10000 times better.

[jeepmanxj]

@IHateEternal CoF coverd this song probably about 4 years eariler I believe.

[inquestFLASH]

the solo is damn horrid!

[Damadehierro14]

Maiden es el mejor pq ellos lo hicieronn !!! IM

[Kroltz]

Wait, Ear mites have hookers?!?!?! Damnit, I want them too!!!

[ohjtbehaaave]

Richard.... when are we gonna get some Raaaaaaain???

[losferword]

Why the hell does no one make good Iron Maiden covers?

[SHBeki]

@losferword 'Cause Maiden are the best. That's all.

[SHBeki]

@losferword 'Cause Maiden are the best. That's all.

[SHBeki]

@losferword Cause Maiden are the best. That's all.

[Darkflare221]

@losferword hmm, that's interesting. I find it to be a fine cover all in all. it's different enough to keep it interesting and shine a new light on the elements of the piece, but care is taken not to stray far from the original version. to me this is exactly what a cover should be. of course it's not as good as the original (I'm not saying that's what you mean), but it's simply a tribute.

[losferword]

@Darkflare221 I am well aware that it is a tribute, but trying to sound like Maiden and your own original band at the same time just does not go very well.

[logarchopeth]

@losferword machinehead's cover was good!.. :)

[FazSaber]

Matt Barlow. What a fukin voice man :)

[h3x0]

Machine Heads cover is way way way better IMO.

But still.. nicely done.

[hmcccp]

maiden doesnt cover shit,ha ha ha,you got that right!

[Gianfranco2511]

Excelente canción!!!!!!!!

[Ellemphriem]

The guitars are heavy and they make me hiss.......but i still prefer the live three guitar version of the lords...Still i love Iced Earth to death!....

[666IchHasseMusik666]

great cover of a fuckin masterpiece

[cheepo888]

the intro just makes me think of a guy sitting alone in his cell with nothing but a lonely blue flame flickering through the darkness of the cell

[ANGMAGBASANIGAGO]

INDIAN ACCENT! LOL

[UGOW]

yes, people, this song is actually written by Cradle of Filth

but luckily Iron Maiden had a time machine, so they travelled forward in time for about 17 years and stole the song from CoF...

really, you think CoF can write songs like this?

hell no...

[mrakavac1]

@UGOW

those are the same guys that say that original 'riders on the storm' version is from need for speed [underground...?].

[rej1cry]

@UGOW Lol, you got me there for a second :P

[dzony994]

@UGOW COF is crap..by me

[PulseOfTheDragon]

@UGOW wtf man iron maiden are awesome and cradle of filth are awesome too .

[dameancat]

I like the cover of this song made by the band Clairvoyants



[MrBritten]

Maiden is my absolute favourite band of all time. Iced Earth is the second best. Could this be any better? Great shit!

HAIL FROM SWEDEN!

[BoMrVice]

@MrBritten Actually it can! Get this... Listen to the Iron Maiden version! ;)

[MrBritten]

@BoMrVice haha :) well I agree. As I said Maiden is my absolute favorite. Had the pleasure to see this song live @ Ullevi 2005 and it was one of the greatest tracks i've ever heard live!

[kwizatch]

what did this band add to the song?

[SweetOdinsRavens]

@kwizatch They added a deeper voice and almost as much awesome saucity as the original song.

[DagosZeta]

Sweet. This is definitely my second favorite cover. Has anyone here heard the on by Ceremonial Oath? If you like a more melodeath approach you'll probably like it.

[MAX88587]

Pure eargasm

[kennybarnwell1]

now THIS is a cover thats worth listening to.

[koshmashmi]

why would someone think that cradle of shit be able to write such a good song

[7thSonOfA7thSon21]

sounds liek a gay voice...Cant compare Bruces heavenly voice with that shit man!!!

[gomeniaris92]

top rated comments are about people who thought that this was iced earth doing a cover of craddle of filth xD...roflmao...i mean common putting aside the fact that iced earth would be very unlikely to make a cof cover how the f**k don t someone that listens to metal know that hallowed be thy name is an iron maiden song and a well known one too xD...

[yaaybob1]

the singer sounds like david bowie.........hahah he reallly does.

[aloknikhil]

@jdavidcc They also covered Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown"

[Kondi420]

Hmm... Iron Maiden made a wheel. This song is this wheel.

I have heard several covers tonight. In my opinion, Iced Earth done best type of tire to this wheel xD

1. Iced Earth - Barlows vocals are emotional, and he do not make tone errors, he control his voice. If anyone can't agree, I suggest to listen to this song "Come What May"

2. Machine Head - its diffrent then the original.

3. CoF - this is totally difrent, CoF changed the song and they did that in way that anyone else didn't.

[RyneProductionz]

Iron Maiden and Iced Earth.........FOR FUCKIN LIFE!!!!!!!!!

and those 65 disliking people can kiss my metal loving ass :)

[Kildaz]

I realy like Iced earth, following them till the beggening.

I'm great fan of Maiden too.. I'm just glad they are doing a tribute to a great ban.. and they are doing very well.. I realy like it.

Cheers.

[Ephringael]

The original is always better, because of the fact that it is original. I'll tell you one thing though, this make my ears bleed tears of orgasmic joy. It's like they are filled with ear mites, and they are all drinking massive amounts of alcohol, and having a wild party, filled with drugs, hookers, and metal, while a Russian does the Kossack dance on my brain! Or, one could simply say, it's intense!

[TheIdahoAsylum]

@Ephringael The only reason I disagree with this... I know it is the same band but the original Blaze shit sounds so much better when Bruce does it. This is stepping into a conversational dark void I would rather stay away from but hey, everyone has to find that missing sock the dryer claimed, once in a while.

[DXM4G3]

this solo sucks, the original is far off more awesome

[CoDEddie]

Good cover but Maiden's version FTW. And ofc Bruce has better voice than this guy (i don't know how what his name is.)

[matrick1981]

On a technical level, this version is better than the original.

[stychin]

Okay anyone who thinks this original is by another band other then Iron Maiden. Please email me so I can fucking kill you.

You are all fucking idiots.

Go slit your throats.

[ironmaiden93ofangmar]

Nice! Iron Maiden is and will continue being my favorite band in the world, and definetely Maiden's version of this song is better, but Iced Earth is another great band & this is an amazing cover. :D

[metalangel01]

great cover,Matt has a better voice than Bruce,is there really a best metal band,all of the old metal bands that we consider great were influenced by each other so they are all the best in there own way.

[josteinhaugen]

@metalangel01 Do you really mean that this guy has a better voice than bruce himself? Poor you.

[naplame]

@josteinhaugen i love bruce n iron maiden is my favourite band, but imo barlow has better voice than bruce...u must have not listen to iced earth before...

[DeathMetalSavior]

@naplame That is funny! Barlow has a better voice than Bruce! You surely are kidding.

[mashui99]

@DeathMetalSavior Barlow is good but it doesn't get any better than The Air Raid Siren, i mean have you seen the Flight 666 live dvd? Full of energy, in his 50's and can still do live songs as good as the Live After Death album, 29 years and his voice is still great.

[metalangel01]

great cover,Matt has a better voice than Bruce

[goheklikaplunco]

@metalangel01 This is half a step lower than E standard tuning, so Barlow isn't singing as high pitched as Bruce. It's still awesome though.

[SidEskorbuto]

is that ripper owens singin?

[icedone08]

@SidEskorbuto Nope. its matt barlow. (though i would reallly like to hear rippper singing :)

[SidEskorbuto]

@icedone08 yeah that would be epic

[AcientMarine]

Great combination IM song played by IE. Both are my favorite Metal bands with whom i grew up with.

[cafelucciano]

Iced Earth is heavy metal... Iron Maiden is the father of heavy Metal. Cradle doesn't fit. Up the irons ... heavy trophy from Romania.

[smarty358]

Iced Earth is influenced by Maiden and are one of the most talented Power Metal bands to grace this earth, stop comparing Cradle Of Shit to them..

[MrSalo86]

This isnt a bad cover, but it's not good either. Go Maiden!!!

[loris234]

dont argue ..this isn't a cover..this is a tribute to the beast \m/

[suarezmetal91]

awesome!:D

[jasonjlaw]

Maiden doesn't cover shit like Cradle of Filth, kids.

[DXM4G3]

@jasonjlaw fucking A+

[simfighter68]

@jasonjlaw The only cover Iron Maiden ever did was Skyhook's Women in Uniform :)

[jdavidcc7]

@simfighter68 UFO's Doctor Doctor and The Entire Population of Hackney's That Girl were cover by Iron Maiden
