Arch Enemy - Aces High (Iron Maiden Cover)

[xler12]

who is their vocalist at this time?

[Dementis666]

@xler12 johan liiva

[AngelOfMearcy]

@Powerslave874 can't be better then Bruce -.-" becouse thats his song ... and anything more .... every orginal song is better then cover ;)

[TheRaven0us]

@Powerslave874 Lol dude, I hope you're just trolling

[Againstwalls]

The intro is a bit too slow… Great anyway.

[MrLukehunt666]

fuckin ace video, seig und krig

[haukaable]

this sign kate perry

[VitalSigns1]

Why does this band keep covering great metal classics with these bullshit cookie monster growls? STFU dumb bitch.

[RogueAndroid]

@VitalSigns1 Hang on there... are you calling Angela Gossow a dumb bitch? She is managing Arch Enemy, she has devoted herself to be the artist she wants to be and she is doing a really good job!

Learn your lessons completely before you call names, this cover is from the time when Johan Liiva was still Arch Enemy`s vocalist, a couple of years BEFORE Angela joined Arch Enemy.

[VitalSigns1]

@RogueAndroid But her singing sucks so much

[TheRaven0us]

@VitalSigns1 John Liiva is singing in here, not Angela... dumbfuck

[criminaldo]

In death metal style.... Way much better Children of Bodom´s cover

[Abyssmo13]

@criminaldo kids

[prawn9189]

@criminaldo i beg to differ, CoB's one was better, you could hear the bass at least for one, and the guitar work wasn't a carbon copy of the song.

[TheSlipAnc]

Thats arch enemy, but not Angela Gossow

[english2me]

@TheSlipAnc this is before she was a part of the band.

[AngelOfMearcy]

thats not Angela Gossow voice lol

[Yumistation]

@AngelOfMearcy no? D:

[AngelOfMearcy]

@Yumistation noup

[29Forlor]

@AngelOfMearcy Yeah, because it's Johan Liiva.

[brittanyisaketten]

wow its not demon lady it almost sounds listenable ! :)

[georgegvelesiani]

it's not angela :D

[Yumistation]

@georgegvelesiani really? D: i was cheated then u.u

[nose766]

sabeeee!!!

[ChaplainDMK]

meh, maiden made it so epic it brings tears to my eyes... this just sounds like some generic song...

[IrapeW]

The singer before angela.

np

[MoMMy199]

Andate a lavorare.

[opethmerlin]

what happen to his voice ?

[DarkSide09k]

@opethmerlin angela gossow singing

[TheMetallicMarco]

Angela is my déesse of Metal !!!

[Ironclaw666]

@TheMetallicMarco It's not Angela, it's the singer previous to her.

[MonzterLawlieet]

\w/ 

[airsoftguy99988]

those vocals are atrocious....just sounds wrong.

[UndeadBeaner]

...Why did you do this to me Arch Enemy... Ruin such a great song! D:

[Camaristhehero]

while the music is excellent, the vocals ruin it, IMO

[rammsteinalbania]

he doesnt hit a single tone

[guldmikke]

@rammsteinalbania Its a shee..

[rammsteinalbania]

@guldmikke whatever

[MorrisonBlack]

But.. this isn't the voice of Angela!

WTF!

[longlifetometal1995]

@MorrisonBlack

maybe it's Johan's voice... you know, Angela is not the original band's singer

[axji1234]

who the fuck is singing? :o

[ironhockeymaiden]

i love arch enemy very much

but this cover i dont like very much...there is missing the superb bass

and here i would always prefer Bruce "heavymetal" singing and not the guttural one

but nevertheless

arch enemy is almost as good as the real satans of metal IRON MAIDEN ;)

and yes i know they arent satanistic...^^

[ironhockeymaiden]

i love arch enemy very much

but this cover i dont like very much...there is missing the superb bass

and here i would always prefer Bruce "heavymetal" singing and not the guttural one

but nevertheless

arch enemy is almost as good as the real satans of metal IRON MAIDEN ;)

[AkuLaukkanen]

I ove arch enemy but there is just no point doing iron maiden cover without the voice of bruce and the steve harris bass line.

[IamDarthVader1]

Is not Arch Enemy...

[Krow83]

@IamDarthVader1

Yes, it is. It's Johan Liiva singing; not Angela. Listen to Fields of Desolation by them.

[IamDarthVader1]

@Krow83 Ah,yes,you right)))

[Krow83]

@IamDarthVader1

Personally, as much as I love Angela, I prefer Johan. However, Angela fits much better with Arch Enemy.

[UnstoppableChaos]

Wow I couldnt possibly imagine myself seeing them in concert just because this lead singer lady would be literally FUCKING MY MIND! 2 be honest screamo isnt my type of music but this is just a total mindfuck because the lead vocalist sounds like a manbeast so if I ever did see them live I would trip out seeing a girl possessed like this its just not my idea of a good time but all & all I can see why ppl do like this group they are extremely talented musicians but its just unpleasant 4 me.

[MetalGearSEAL4]

@UnstoppableChaos this isn't screamo you idiot. Actually listen to screamo and understand the difference

[UnstoppableChaos]

@MetalGearSEAL4 Well she is screaming so I just assumed this was screamo & I do listen 2 some screamo just as long as they have clean vocals in the song.

[MetalGearSEAL4]

@UnstoppableChaos the main difference between screamo and metal is that screamo always tells a sob story in every song. Another difference is that screamo singers yell at the top of their lungs. They don't add any other technique

[MetalGearSEAL4]

@UnstoppableChaos this is melodic death metal btw

[r0dybuen0]

@UnstoppableChaos screamo sucks :S it's nothing compared to death metal

[drogo21]

if you like this cover, then listen to Children of Bodom's cover of this song..it is AWESOME!!! in MY opinion...this is also great, but not as COB's cover for me

[OMFCat80]

why everyone complain abaout the bass? It is a cover... not a attemp to beat the original song, if in the original songs the bass is not as good then do not expect it to be better in cover, it is just his style of playing bass.

[wewtneel]

@OMFCat80 yea ur right i mean its like people feel really good criticizing covers as if theyr some highly accomplished performers/musicians etc they never learn to appreciate any sort of innovation or individuality you idiot people if arch enemy did the exact copy of the same song then what wud be the use of having a cover u freaks?! and what wud be the need of having another band called arch enemy?! (after all you people hate individual style)

think before u type bullshit everywhere noobs

[Tauro008si]

@OMFCat80 who said that? omg, better than harris? :impossibru:

[OMFCat80]

its a great cover because they play the song at theier styl, i like the voice it make the song brutal but a solo just can't be better than original

[alex3000000000000]

I know that making this statement will get me lots of vote downs but . . . who gives a shit about bass!? No one ever hears it anyway, least of all in metal songs.

[Deadpool5594]

@alex3000000000000 ha not trying to be a dick or anything trust me. but take out all the bass of your favorite metal songs and see what you get XD

[shnakeaneggs]

@alex3000000000000

listen to Havok - Morbid Symmetry

then tell me if bass isnt heard.

im a bass player.and it is important.but bass players vary.some are unique.others just play the same thing the guitars are.not hating or anyting.just saying.

[alex3000000000000]

@shnakeaneggs Of course there will be songs with a bass-only section or bass+drums section where you can hear the bass without straining your earlobes but in most cases you can't really register it. And when you can't register it, you don't care about it either.

[shnakeaneggs]

@alex3000000000000 well.i guess you are describing those "general" listeners.

idk.im a musician.i hear everything put into the music.not just in metal.but in jazz.blues.funk.etc.

but i see your point.

[xkevinsexyx]

Sorry...but I don't think any type of Screaming can cover a Maiden song. Ever. Nothing can compare to Bruce's singing style. The instrumental was nice though, but the bass was lacking. Hard.

[MaestroPd]

This is first Arch's vocal ?

[memox185]

@MaestroPd yep

[B33fy420]

@NorthFulton88 You just need a good subwoofer :D

[h4unt3dfx]

@B33fy420 Agreed.

[METROIDER123]

this is the only iron maiden song that i like like that and not the original one

[Nalokin13]

arch enemy= aces High!!!!

iron maiden=aces Down......

Iron Maiden is one of my lovely bands but aces high belong to arch enemy!!!

[chorizo06]

@Nalokin13 vo soy weon o te culio el leon???, maiden rulz!!!

[SpyZ86]

the music ain't bad but the vocals are abysmally one dimensional

[ImmortalGreekWarrior]

woman in metal band hahahahah they FUCKED the song

[ma8740]

@ImmortalGreekWarrior Its not becoz of the woman; its coz of the fact that COVERS ALWAYS SUCK.

[ICantThinkOfAName36]

@ImmortalGreekWarrior I'm pretty sure that this is not Angela, it's Johan. This cover is only bad because the song doesnt't suit Arch Enemy's style.

[h4unt3dfx]

@ICantThinkOfAName36 It is Johan and this song totally fits their style.

[metaltera86]

I dont really like it

[LightDarkZero]

I like the Maiden cover songs, All those bands are phenomenal, i like either Iron Maiden and Arch Enemy (regardless of the number of members of their bands), come on. If it weren't of Iron Maiden, this cover wouldn't be have done :p or worst, no songs like these :D. We have to support both or all bands :D

[flaskadrummer]

Imagine Bruce singing like this:)

[GlennSnelling]

It's not bad but Bruce's vocals are pretty hard to beat in my opinion.

[slanhelvete]

Whats with all the negative comments about this cover? Is it tooooo hard for you? Do you perhaps listen to shitty old rock from the 80's? Do you wear a leather jacket and shuv sticks up your arse?

[majorblood87]

@NorthFulton88 i think this is a great cover, love both arch enemy and iron maiden, but i definitley think your right about the bass.

[JEKAZOL]

Utter insult to the original.

[ma8740]

@URtagux Thats fine; Its just good to see newer bands giving tribute to older ones in their own style.

[007pieke]

Bodom cover is better, but Maiden is the best :D

[ma8740]

@URtagux Thats disrespectful.

[FedorCroCop44]

@URtagux mmmm no iron maidens is better arch enemy would agree

[TheDoktorKiller]

i love iron maiden and arch enemi but this cover is shit

[FedorCroCop44]

@TheDoktorKiller your shit its a good cover

[empreme]

@FedorCroCop44 you're shit. It's a lame cover

[722deano]

@empreme logical brilliance *sigh*

[empreme]

@722deano It's the best anyone can hope for really. This is the internet.

:D

[722deano]

@empreme for that epic truth... have a like good sir

[catshumpcats3]

ruined the song thanks arch douche bags

[empreme]

@catshumpcats3 fucking right. It sounds like shit.

[mbm13213]

Hey Angela, nice vocals.

Now take off your shirt and make me a sandwich...bitch

]v[ E G A D E T ]-[

[jeroen0011]

@mbm13213 i agree this isen't a great cover, but it ain't angela singing :p

it's arch enemy before angela

[mbm13213]

@jeroen0011

Dang....I better brush up on my shit next time.

Either way I want the bitches shirt off....right?

]v[ A Y H E ]v[

[Illuminatus1978]

Holly crap this sounds terrible!! What is with this guteral vocal crap! If this song was meant to be sung at a low growling shit sound Maiden would have kept Blaze Bailey. Bruce Dickinson is a Metal God and very few can match his range.

MAIDEN FOREVER!!!

UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!

[jeroen0011]

this isent arch enemy, btw children of bodom did a better cover :p

[Bastard669]

@jeroen0011 this is arch enemy! but it was the time before angela gossow!

[jeroen0011]

@Bastard669 yes i know this is arch enemy but that it isen't angela singing :p

[metalwr154]

angela is the fucking iron maiden!

[ilikepork247]

like every band that trys to cover a maiden song this is shit dont get me wrong i like Arch enemy but this just sounds awful and it seems more like an insult to maiden than a cover (my opinion) there is only 1 cover by a band that seems any good and thats when machine head covered Hallowed be thy name and even thats shit but its the best maiden cover ive heard by a proper band

[ma8740]

@ilikepork247 Totally agree; To me, at least the clena vocals was needed; machine head did an awesome job; Cradle of Filth ruined it.

[66sucks]

@ilikepork247 trivium did a pretty cover of iron maiden by iron maiden. probably my favorite cover of maiden. but im off to check out machine heads cover

[bahamut3345]

@ilikepork247 i agree with you arch enemy is good but suck at covering heavy metal song

[ExpelledFromHell]

TERRIBLE!!!! omg!

[slipknotfan90909]

Wow.......i'm sad.

[josedfigueroas]

Esa NO es la voz d Angela... la voz d ella es perfecta, y no tn cagada cmo la de el tipo d ese cover

[TiberiumAg]

Arch Enemy always making good covers.

[MANUELSLIPKNOT]

jejejeje no ma con el video de iron maiden aun asi esta chido es el mejor cover de esta cancion

[diegohavok]

Perdon por mi ignoracia, pero segun yo no es Angela, quien es?

[soynakoyk]

esta versiion es mejo0r k esa miierda de heavy :D

viiva arch enemy, amo su voz (:

[RafaTrooper1990]

@soynakoyk No tio.....no es mejor...estás hablando de Iron Maiden un grupo que marcó un antes y un despues en la musica heavy...y eso de miierda de heavy de ti mejor no decía nada por que gracias al heavy hoy en dia puedes escuchar las distintas ramas que existen del metal ademas....no critiques musica buena...critica al reggaeton o otras basuras pero no critiques a lo que viene a ser en general el rock.. saludos!!

[soynakoyk]

@RafaTrooper1990 si yo dije eso es x k muchos dicen k esta cancion es una mierda kn arch enemy primero fijate en lso errores de todos y despoes me kritikas, en lo general yo respeto tu genero, a mi no me gusta el heavy, pero si kieren k respete su genero respeten el de los femas ok?

[missmetalian]

@soynakoyk el heavy patea culos!

[soynakoyk]

@missmetalian  heavy for gay's, detah, black, brutal para hombres yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[missmetalian]

@soynakoyk ppppppfffffffff sin el heavy nada de lo que escuchamos ahora existiria! EL HEAVY Y EL GLAM FUERON LOS 2 PRIMEROS GENEROS LOS DEMAS SE CREARON DESPUES! y el black ni el brutal como dices es para hombres! ANGELA ES UNA MUJER Y ES LA DIOSA DEL METAL! ok???????

[soynakoyk]

@missmetalian y eso k? yo no digo que la chika de arch enemy sea mala vokalista mas en kmbiio digo0 k es de lo0 mejo0r del genero0, pero pff heravy? eso es para nenas ya deja de molestar y ponte ascuchar esa musiik para nenas y afeminados xP death brutal es musiik para hombres aun k nmo lo kreas

[missmetalian]

@soynakoyk de veras que estas bien mal! no sabes nada de nada!

[soynakoyk]

@missmetalian para dejar de pelear solo dire algo y ya dejare de scribir aUn k sigan chingando, si no ubiera komntarios asi kmo el de "que orrible se oye es imposible que lleguen a la calidad de iron maiden se oye una mierda esta cancion viva iron maiden ellos si la saben cantar" yo no diria nada ya k respeto el genmero de los demas, pero bueno en fin kedate kon tu heavy, si no kieren k ofenda su musik nop dejen komentarios kmo ese kreo k es todo black and death the best of the fucking metal

[chuxzdefollatio]

@soynakoyk Primero: Con todo respeto hermano, no escribas "ASi W0 eMOU"

Segundo: Ok, dices que nos fijemos en lo que otros dicen de este cover, pss me vale madre, al final quedas igual que los pendejos que dicen mierda de este cover.

En resumen: Hermano, diciendo tonterias como "esa mierda heavy" te rebajas al nivel de aquellos que llaman "mierda" a este cover.

[smithpwn]

this version is good but a better one i think is Children of Bodom's. just saying not hatin...lol

[Ragadagadosch]

was macht adolf in dem video XD

[nicolarimini]

ehm... the vocal part its bad for me .-.

[venomhegolo]

Mucho bajo para mi gusto en el tono de voz, el sonidista hizo un pesimo trabajo mmm aunque puede ser, y tengo la duda, que no sea angela la que canta...

[TheZaraki345]

@venomhegolo obvio no es angela es un wey por es arch enemy fue creado por

el mismo k kanta aunk no rekuerdo su nombre si kieres cheka sus primero diskos i veras k kanta un hombre

[EdRulez2306]

@venomhegolo y supones bien no es angela

[chuxzdefollatio]

@venomhegolo Si, de hecho es John Liiva....

[pappysmp]

Maiden tiene un sonido propio, dificil de imitar.... esto suena como cualquier grupo

[cabronesh2468]

que orrible se oye

es imposible que lleguen a la calidad de iron maiden

se oye una mierda esta cancion

viva iron maiden ellos si la saben cantar

[lichecalipso]

@cabronesh2468 se trata de un cover, cuando haces un cover, no pretendes que sea igual que la original sino dar tu vision/version de la cancion, aun asi prefiero Iron maiden a Arch enemy

[2shea07]

hell yea!!!

[Ragnar89]

this is sacrigegious

[eddie1700]

this is a suckass cover of this song

[Lucaspaim16]

- Ficoou supeeer fooda ! \,,/

ANGELA GOSSOW EH FOODA !

[eliseun32]

ps si rifa pero el estilo de maiden esta mas cabron

[DarthMalak1000]

It would interesting to have Angela do the vocals instead of Johan for this cover.

[graveyardclassic]

that bitch cant do this in her dream

[hevox]

@graveyardclassic

WORD FUCKING UP!

Johan is king

[wolfman500092]

@graveyardclassic your a bitch

[edupage1]

esta chida la rolaa tiene el mero ponch!!

si esta mejor la de iron maiden pero esta no esta mal

es para matear!!! (Y)

y los solos tambien estan chidos se la rifaaan

[johnpetrucci16]

ta bkn pero los solos valen callamapa :(

[slipknot1riot1]

zi no te gusta no lo veas nadie te obliga a verlo gil

[TriviumFan57]

@6fito6

es metal pendejo asi se canta salvo unos sub genesros

[catstrivium]

tu mama tiene un pito en la garganta

[pr4hckr]

Te la das de muy metalero por escuchar Iron Maiden=?

[eliseun32]

oye wey con maiden no te metas son la verga son heavy y po si no lo sabias son una de las pocas bandas con una discografia completamente limpia de basura el hecho de que ya existan bandas mas pesadas no significa que sean mejores

[CoD3107]

@eliseun32 tienes toda la razon banda la neta escucho death y black pero respeto al maiden estos weyes son la verga en mi cel nunca falta una rola de maiden

[thevillageyid]

The version of this song sounds like shit. The album version is a lot clearer and precise sounding.

[hellraiserguy]

Not a bad cover, I still prefer Bodom's version though

[Delx64]

@hellraiserguy i still prefer the version of the masters Iron Maiden

[derfos666]

I don't get it. They downtuned the guitars, replaced the solo and added growls... From my experience, it takes more than that to make a death metal cover of a song. It seems like a half-assed effort to me.

No disrespect meant, but I assumed Michael Amott was above this kind of lame stuff.

[MetalHeadWarlock376]

This is a kickass cover of this song.

[agvamo5000]

This is from the Black Earth album (1st) with Johan Liiva on vocals and bass xD

[WartyWarlock]

id like to hear this with guitars that you can tell when they play seperate notes. love archenemy but this guitar is pretty fucking terrible this time around

[andresdiego1992]

her voice !!!!! fuckin unbelivebol!!!

[platibeladon]

you mean "his voice"?))

[andresdiego1992]

the voice you ear in this vid ...angela gossow ...ok

[GeneralArrow]

Um actually no. This was before they had her in the band and even Angela doesn't look that manly.

[SuicideNation]

This was released before Angela.

[kreator654]

@SuicideNation YEah, way before Angela. Their first album Black Earth.
