  • notice how they slow it down cuz this foo cant sing as fast as Bruce

  • @unyascorpion Notice how they slow down because it is a cover, and not a second by second exact remake?

  • Damn. That was pretty solid.

  • i don't get this band...everytime they cover some song,they make documentary or video.....

  • if you think anyone's cover of Maidens original song .. your a fucking idiot ..

    but all and all this is an awesome cover of a Better Original

  • I dare to say that this cover is better than the original....what an awsome performance. his voice is perfect

  • Better that Maiden!!!

  • Best cover of any maiden song. They really captured the essence of my favorite song of all time! Love it! Don't care for any of their originals I've heard so far though

  • this is good... but wtf youtube? I was watching devildriver, and it led me to some Emo band that looked like Pat Benatar without tits...?

  • @chyeaman420 not the band.

  • Haters need to fuck off and go hate themselves in a dark corner. Machine Head did a great tribute, did it with some of the stylings that we've come to love Machine Head for, all while keeping the song preserved in the way that Iron Maiden meant for it to be heard. I'll be the first to praise any band who can do the same without butchering the song. That is all. Fuck the police.

  • good to see an awesome band like machine head paying tribute to the mighty maiden

  • maiden forever man, dont really like the cover but i respect that they did it

  • i like machine head and i love iron maiden ... but i didn't like this cover at all .. its not what i expected, i expected something more powerful like machine head is used to do

  • thats awesome

  • Great cover!!!

  • his voice is brilliant!

  • why is this cover so hard to find online by these guys

  • they rape my ears with this song (in a good way)

  • @CHAOSMAN18....some1 likes getting raped in the ear....inna good way ahah jk bro.........up the irons

  • why do they always cut parts out for videos? It makes no sense...

  • @BoundINsilencE It's because they have really long songs and they want to keep the audience watching by cutting out potential "boring" parts.

  • great cover great bans do great covers

  • This song doesn't fit to Machine Head at all, but a good cover though.

  • Nope, I'm sorry this just doesn't cut it for me. They're still a good band. My favourite version is on Iron Maiden's Flight 666 album. The ending is delicious!

  • i actually like this version a lot better than the original.. i just think it sounds better overall

  • This is hands down THE BEST COVER of this song I've heard yet, and I've heard many. The others have been more authentic and sound just like Maiden, but I don't really care about hearing a cover that sounds like the original. MH made it their own and kicked ass at it!!

  • @funkinthechili i do so agree with you. im not the biggest maiden fan but you have to respect the legends. in my opinion this is more of a tribute than clear cut cover. doohow it´s awesome!

  • @meskalinmaskin Yeah, but in a way, just the act of doing a cover is doing a tribute to it. In any case, if there's any chance for you to get into Maiden, Number of the Beast (the album this song is on) is gonna do it. I also really dig Somewhere in Time, but that doesn't seem to be one of the more popular ones out of their old stuff.

  • I love this song...but Iron Maiden version is the Iron Maiden version man

  • Fucking great cover, fucking great song ,nothing else to say !!! XD

  • ........i think i creamed my pants........

  • this is quite good but i really have to say that cradle of filth's version sounds darker

  • @nastymaggots I must disagree.  This version is much more musical.

  • Forever a loyal fan of Iron Maiden but must credit MH on their version.

    U fucking dickheads, does not matter which band sings it as long as they dont screw up the song. Learn to appreciate others rather than fucking pissed each other off.

  • Machine fucking Head XD not as good as maiden but defenatly better then cradle lol i think machine heads own stuff is as epic as maiden not better but still epic as fuck

  • this song was live recorded in lisbon portugal, i was there, it was fucking awesome...i love iron maiden, but honestly i thing MH did a great job...even better them maiden

  • @dellabona69 this isn't recorded live, they just recorded the video, not the sound

  • and im talking about the video i was there, when they played live for the first time... but i still saying this cover is way better than MAIDEN, and dude, i fucking love maiden

  • This is good but not as good as Maiden an never will be, no band can do what they do.

  • stupid fucks .u dont know IRON MAIDEN?

  • fookin ugllyy sh**tt, wtf is this ,, crappp

  • =S wtf are u on about? this is a metal band called Machine head, covering another metal bands song, and its not crap. its accaully pretty awesome

  • <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • the version before editing was somewhat better, but it still rips your head off. by the way, did MH do any Slayer covers?

  • robbs heavier vocals actually work very well with this song, their dark cover of battery is awesome as well. these guys should put out a covers album, would be far better than that bodom one.

  • @straight138edge lol bodom

  • aw dudes! i fucking love this cover! i like this one way more than the original....but i do also love Iced Earth's cover but yeah still an awesometastic covers, cannot wait to see'em in March xD

  • this brings tears to my eyes.... tears of METAL!!!!

  • Don't no which song I like more, the original or this cover! :D

  • LOOK HOW TENCE THE SINGER IS!!!!!!!!

  • A good cover... but... it lacks something: the Iron Maiden :)

  • every time i ´am hearing that song i got goose bumps.

    MaChInE fucking HeAd

    cheers

  • Not bad at all. But there's something missing! Dream Theater's cover is much better.

  • this is shit imitation

  • gREAT COVER !!!!!!! MACHINE HEAD RLZ. From argentina

  • one of the greatest covers ever made no one could have done it better

  • wow......... that the shit.........

  • Man Rob flynns guitar wat a beast of an axe

  • POWERFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • stupendaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • what de fucking cover machine head is the best COÑO que arrecho

  • wow the iron maiden versoin is so much better. but i guess this isnt THAT bad.

  • What is this? I hear awsomeness :O <3

  • Easily the best cover on the 'Maiden Heaven' CD, closely followed by Trivium's 'Iron Maiden' IMHO.

    Wish they'd played this in Cardiff last year supporting Slipknot. Machine Head fucking rule. Now Im off to find the COF cover to see if its a shit as everyone says it is :P

  • glamour of the kill did a good cover of 2 minutes to midnight

  • they did when i saw them with slipknot :)

  • agreed i saw them live with metallica and must say they rocked it almost as hard as metallica so

  • The best band that play this song cover

  • agreed

  • Machine Head is too trashy a band to cover a song like this, for me at least.

  • wtf? why does everyone bash cradle of filth?

    they are an amazing fucking band why cant people get over that if they dont like it, that doesnt mean they suck

    but good cover, just like message in the bottle was another good cover they did. the singer just makes it sound great when he kinda starts yelling/screaming it whatever you wanna call it

  • great

  • Such a Good cover by an exptional Band

    \m/

  • cockends! hahaha that a good one. I agree totally luke. the problem with asshats like the haters down below me is that are still pissed that mommy popped her titty out their mouth so they dump on talented hard working bands like Machine Head. Besides they prolly like Milli Vanilli and Yani. Dont get mad at them my friend, pity them. This is prolly all they have in their lives that they can control.

  • that was really good. Mind if you use that?

  • this cover kickass

  • seems kinda slow ..

  • I agree completely. Iced Earth's cover felt the same. Some people thing it makes the song more intense, but I disagree. The speed is one thing that adds to the songs power. Kinda like CoF's version despite Dani's shit vocals.

    Overall, I like it.

  • Guitar Hero silly kid. -.-

  • i'm not a kid dude,i'm gonna be a man in December...kid....I gave,or at least tried to give,Machine Head a chance,but i only like one song by them.

  • Listen to The Blackening. If u dont like the best album of this millenium so far, u can´t call yourself a metalhead.

    (Don´t know if u consider urself or not.)

  • best cover that youll find on the net..1000 times better than cradle of filths version

  • that isn't saying much because cofs cover was absolute horse shit

  • singer wasn't as good as Bruce but the instruments were well done

  • i think that's better than the original version.

  • I saw this the first time it was ever played in the UK ^_^

  • i saw it in notts with metallica :O

  • with slipknot 3/12/08?

    i was at that gig lol

    he mentioned it was first, though I didn't know if he was telling the truth lol

  • I loved the "Mark my words...." part, that was so badass :) Awesome cover of an Awesome song

  • Wow... Holy shit that was an awesome cover!!

  • Very good cover.

    UP THE IRONS!

  • Portugal! RiR 2008!

    Machine fucking Head!

  • good

  • I don't find the original video. On stereo sound. Only on MySpace. Any link? Thankx!

    The cover is amazing!!!

  • sound quality sucks

  • No YOU suck. Either that or your speakers do.

  • 5:23-5:34 gives me fuckin chills. Love this song

  • further evidence that Flynn has the voice of a motherfucking GOD.

    MFH are quite easily one of the best metal bands of all time

  • Machine head could have played out of tune, out of key, and play every note wrong, and they wouldn't be able to ruin this song. They did a good job. Hell, if Cradle of Filth can't ruin this song, no one can.

  • FUCK...FUCK.......HELL

  • God damn. Blew me away.

    MACHINE

    FUCKING

    HEAD

    Nothing else need be said.

  • I saw them playing this for the first time ever at Rock In Rio 2008. It was so awesome.

  • LIKE, WOW!!! I'm a Big Maiden fan and Machine Head totally gave that MASS JUSTICE!!! \M/ HORNS Up man!!! That Kicked My ASS!!!!

  • saw them playing it live... fucking awesome

  • Comment removed

  • MACHINE FUCKING HEAD

    best cover of this song

    IRON FUCKING MAIDEN

    cradle of filths cover would be good if it was instrumental the vocal just ruin it

  • totally awesome...I first saw this on theyre site but didnt know it was on youtube, they did a great job and didn't ruin it with the whining annoying sound like Cradle Of Filth :)

  • Everything is on Youtube dude.

  • haha so true man :)

  • machine heads covers are good... Cradles suck balls.

  • amazing . . .

  • i also saw this on headbangers ball last night and i was amazed. best cover of any maiden song by anyone IMO

  • I saw this cover on Headbangers Ball last night, and I could not believe how well Machine Head nailed it. Best cover song I think I've ever heard, and that's saying something.

  • haha me too, Headbangers Ball dude.. lol

    great shit makes me wanna learn this on my guitar now...

  • fucking awesome cover machine head rules \m/

  • Killer cover - they fuckin nailed it perfectly.

  • fuckin' love this cover _/,,/

  • fuck machine head are like the only band who could pull this off, they respected the song cos it's a classic, but still made it their own

  • FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! R E S P E C T

    Best cover I've EVER heard of ANY song-as good as the original

    wasn't expecting that

    My FAVORITE Maiden song, and one of best metal songs ever

  • i has looking for the song machine head and I found this guys XD

  • wow i was lookin 4 iron maiden and found these guys and i have to say im impressed, good fucking job guys i'll be lookin for more from Machine head.

    hehe yah machine head fucking rocks!

  • WOW i was lookin 4 motorhead and found these guys by accident, first time hearin em and i have to say i'm impressed.

  • I fucking love it.

    I like COF's version too, but I like this one better. ;]

  • this version is so fucking epic man!

    machine fuckin head!!

  • The greatest cover I've ever heard

  • my fav IM song

  • Cradle of shit and their version sucked. Machine Head kicks fucking ass!

  • lol cradle of shit

  • a cradle of shit was what yo mama saw every time yo baby ass cried fo the bottle

  • Hell I like all 3 version of this song... IM, MH, and COF alike.

  • machine fucking head good cover the cradle of filth one was shit

  • this has to be one of the best covers ever...flynn sounds like dickinson, but not really...as a cover should sound

    and the Cradle Of Filth is also pretty epic

    and i honestly dont care about what any haters have to say, so dont waste your time typing something stupid that i wont read anyway

  • this song is sooooo fucking good

  • obviously iron maiden has the best verion of the song but

    out of cradle of filth and MACHINE FUCKING HEAD

    this is the best cover version of hallowed be thy name

    cradle of filths was ok except the growling vocals ruined it

  • agree...

  • I think that this song is the better song of IRON MAIDEN, at the same times I think that drums in this version is more strong than the original version....I know that could be a blasfemy....but that's my thought.....Up the IRON

  • Hey i wanna learn this version is in some different type of tuning? If you know get back to me

    Check my vids out cheers LONG LIVE METAL \m/

  • Flynn is god!

  • ye guys ..ofc you can't compare this to the original ...that's why it's called a COVER .... i like both 80's and 90's metal bands ...machine head just tried to make a tribute to Iron Maiden because they were influenced by this band (Iron Maiden) alot ...and it came out really cool ... no use comparing and i don't think anyone would\should have bad critics about this cover ...so just enjoy this version as well as the original ...

  • hei guy, ok they are good, but this song is by iron maiden, no one can play it like them.

    IRON MAIDEN RULES.

    MH please play your song

  • the MH boys are fuckin legends!!!!

    love this version of Hallowed..

    cant wait to see them live again....

    cradle of filth's version was shitt!!!!

  • I think he sings it live better than on the CD version, then again ... Iron Maiden are best live also ...

    I think they did Maiden justice ...

    Long Live Maiden AND Machine Head!!!

  • awsome song

  • Awsome song, i have to say he sings it better than maiden and much better then filth. just my oppinion though.

  • holy shit

    this is just fuckin amazing

  • 5:26 dude where that final guitar plays..... fuckin awsome.. gives me goosebumps

  • nice voice man!!! great iron maiden cover´s song, is fucking great!!!!M H RULEZ!!!!!!

  • haha dude needs to change his tshirt every time i see him hes wearin that shirt

  • Good cover, but didn't really do anything different with it like Cradle did.

    Still greatest Heavy Metal song ever

  • A little off topic but, Faith No More are the masters of covers. Every cover they have done are looked at like songs of their own.

  • wats with all the Iron Maiden covers, first Trivium on shogun now this?...not complaining at all they all are sweet but yeah just wonderin!

    sweeet

  • prolly cus that maiden kerrang tribute just came out not too long ago a shit tunna bands covered maiden. tallica did remember tomorrow check that shit out dude.

  • Seeing Machine Live next week, and this is the first time I've heard them, pretty good.

  • This version is pretty damn good. Obviously Maiden wrote the fucking song, but MH did a good job if Robb sounds a bit strained.

  • great job on the video

    of course, iron maiden did it best (:

    but damn, machine head's version is wicked too

  • 1)Iron Maiden's original

    2) This version

    3)Cradle of Filths (sucked)

  • Are you fucking high??!?!?!?!?!? Cradle of filths garbage that they called a cover was terrible. And by the way. . . Iron maiden is the third metal band to ever of existed, they never made music there woulnt be cradle of shit to begin with. Cradle of shit is a fucking gay as fuck exuse for a band.

  • Stomper.

    Your Name Truley does Have Meaning.
