Hellsongs - Run to the hills

[Kwonnesi]

.....die zukunft beteutet das weitergeben des feuers............nicht das aufbewahren der asche......

[montbenavid]

Maiden wrote and dedicated this song about the Sand Creek Massacre in Montana in 1864. This was to honor them. Iron Maiden, whom are from England, know more about the U.S. history than most people whom listen to them. Thank you for this coverering this song and your own tribute.

[mitsupitsu44]

i like iron maiden's ((origina) version better!!!!

[garvinzoom]

Wow, very powerful.



[RoffleIron]

This version is quite pretty, thanks for posting it.

[ThatDisembodiedVoice]

Holy shit this fucking sucks

[ogotay1972]

I love Maiden but this cover was interesting. I like covers that are different from the original.

[Grimasasmijeha]

The white man is the devil!!! Fight the devil!!! Free indian tribes!!! Siux,Comanche,Shoshone...FIGHT THE DEVIIIIIL!!!

[fredmnll]

okay, but nowhere's near as epic and ear blasting as the original, but still okay.

63SemperFi used troll, its super effective.

[AphoticAgony]

i love the cover of blackened

[63SemperFi]

Savages, Thankfully we brought civilization to there corrupt life.

Nice singing by the way.

[GiantMidget000]

@63SemperFi your the savage you dip shit mother fucker

[63SemperFi]

@GiantMidget000 You sound mad bro? lol

[twitizer]

@63SemperFi Really :)? I hope you were ironic. Calling people savages is a way to degrade them, and that way give yourself the right to mistreat and outroot them. Has happened, continues to happen, and will continue to happen, all over the world.

[63SemperFi]

@twitizer I know i just did it to piss some people off lol

[TheBackslash1]

Is this based on iron maiden or is maiden based on this

[nastymonsters2]

SCREAM FOR ME YOUTUBE

[FlameFury117]

Run tooooo the hiiiiilllllllsssssssss, Run for your liiiiiveeeees!!! Oh whoops wrong version.

[stickiwee]

Im an American Indian and i think that the best thing about this song is the tempo change in the (original) maiden version, that kicks a fucking arse or two! This version is as boring as fuck and id like to see you hellsongs pussies leave metal songs alone and concentrate on going and fucking yourselves.

[CoreyL11]

@stickiwee Why don't you go fuck yourself? You're the kind of annoying ass metal head that I can't stand who thinks that metal is better than anything ever. This version is beautiful and it's just as good as the original. If you like the original better, that's fine but at least respect them as musicians instead of just calling them pussies just because they don't play metal

[Chortslut]

Love Iron Maiden, but this version makes a bigger impact when you hear it :) Nice job Hellsongs!

[Kennyboy2003]

66 people ran down the hill -.-

[Tyrfingr]

@alwaysauthentic1 "Money is the worst currency that ever grew among mankind. This sacks cities, this drives men from their homes, this teaches and corrupts the worthiest minds to turn base deeds."

- Sophocles

[raymond942]

brilliant- the Indians story can be applied to so many other races across ALL the globe that have suffered similarly... although the native Amercans story is a great tragedy

[janborrowitz]

The Tecumseh would be proud of this..

[2housetoa]

up the irons.beautiful.

[dannojmanno]

I'm Native american, pure Miccosukee. I'm a little surprised at the composition, because I was expecting metal, but it was put together very well. Great Job, and Many Blessings to you!

[Minder666]

Seriously, Hellsongs' version of such a classic is actually very good, and, in fact, quite emotional… I am happy there still are artists out there who love music more than money and good publicity. This is art!

[colossusPrime]

get off the soapbox people.............

[The842Headbanger]

ok not bad but i love it from ironmaiden :D

[6gods6basterd6son]

wow! this sucks! i was thinking it would be metal

[Paletoe]

Great stuff



[ferranzatir]

3:32, he inspires me to be strong and have faith. I hope one day white man will understand the way to get relation with our mother Earth. 'Till then, I'll follow my fight...

[Moltarr]

@ferranzatir Who is the person in the picture at 3:32??

[Jesusderollinisten]

i also prefer this version over the maiden version, even if you really cant compare them, but i think the lyrics fit more in the hellsongs version

[Jesterthefool]

same song 2 VERY different versions no reason to compare them

[Scottbro1000]

way better then the iron maiden one for sure

[hagebutetee]

@Scottbro1000

please never say such a lie ever again!!!

in my opinion is the original song 1000times better than this!!!

Up the Irons from Germany

[dominiqueper]

Thank you so much for these beautiful pictures!

[stonix1992]

cover from iron maiden, thank them for the text!

[mgreene11111]

The native american people had their chance to defend themselves. What resulted was a war between two peoples. The American settlers were united in their war effort while the native american tribes could not end their bickering despite their strength in numbers and their knowedge of the land they were defending. It is a tragedy that they were defeated, but every country ever founded was done so by the blood shed of the idigenous peoples there.

[dthrckt]

@mgreene11111 Wow, insensitive and ignorant. Read a book.

[121jigawatts]

The song and video work wonderful together. What an outstanding version as opposed to some band aiming for note for note perfection in a cover. This song is an amazing pull on emotion, the original induces anger and this, pure sadness. Nothing wrong with either, both dripping in artistic expression.

[metisman100]

my selph being a chrischen i think if the whight man had not come god still wouled have got his weared out but if the wight mad had not come i as a metis wouled not be here

[sbardiau]

Does anybody have a link to the images used in this video? They're stunningly beautiful.



[makofae68]

Seltsam, aber schön.

[GuntriX93]

in my opinion the original is WAY better:S but hey its just my opinion;D

The song kinda requires speed and drums/bass. which is in the original:P

[HMT3J]

This is so fucking genius. Great song, great cover, original. Love u Hellsongs and thank u Maiden :)

[perlberg]

I get the point of this cover genre, but it doesn't change the fact that Hellsongs completely suck the life out of some of the hardest, most iconic rock songs and pussify them into hymns that even James Taylor would call soft and lame. Although this song does have somewhat of a draw to being played soft and somber, it's got the undertone of white guilt lurking about. Yechhh.

[TjinDeDjen]

ok i must say: well made......but the original is a metalsong....so wtf have you done to that great song?

[steviesee1971]

On behalf of Stu - What a great songwriter Steve Harris is!

[amdaniels11]

thanks for sharing this one, comes down to who had rifles, horses and the supply lines...poor bloody Indians didn't have a hope in hell, and there's a lesson of history for USA now, don't drop your gaurd, cause the World's about to get real nasty.

[mac6460]

Beautiful cover, really really beautiful.

[ronaldgtv]

Brilliant cover of a one of the best songs ever! Up the Irons from Norway

[Supervillain80]

Much much much better than the original.

[zatathor]

supervillain u are stupid, this is good but not better than the original

[saval93]

@Supervillain80 how dare you!!!!!

[starlettabigosis]

your like...babbling.

[FrancescoDatitno]

much better than the original!

love it!

[saval93]

@FrancescoDatitno listen to the original and then comment

[starlettabigosis]

Respect people... thats all anyone is asking for...

[starlettabigosis]

fuck it...im gunna be ignorant as these fuckers... GENERAL CUSTARD DIED FOR YOUR SINS! on my fucking birthday. YEAH. i do not expect anything bad towards me for that comment since these motherfuckers are so damn ignorant and mean. had to say something -_-

[starlettabigosis]

wow. how ignorant these people posting comments are. living up to they're stereotypes. by being stereotypical themselves! haha... oh well i forgive them, kill them with kindness, get me angry but i wont sink down to the dirt like they do on a daily basis i see. i agree not really a good cover. love the iron maiden one!

[jaknife99]

the original was better in my opinion , it showed the anger and ignorance.

[ErasmusBasset]

It was also the perfect music to kill treeniggers by.

[Picklesisftw]

this is such a terrible cover of the song :\

[portugal81]

respect for the america natives the can control everthing but they were never control the stars and one of these stars are america natives

[generalhw]

Sad song

[RAHOWASKIN]

No tears nor any guilt from this white man. This basically this is another form of white guilt, and now look how they are they are on reservations and they get drunk and spend tax payers money haha suuuuuuuuuuuuuch a great people right? fuck this

[enjoinger]

Spoken with true ignorance.  gj.

[RAHOWASKIN]

@enjoinger

Ignorance on who's part? go to the Crow reservation in Montana and tell me differently

[enjoinger]

I was talking about historical ignorance. But alas I won't argue with a skinhead, I try to avoid prattling with fools.

[Jedibron]

They were a great people and this is what has become of them due to europe style imperialism. Pretty much most cultures that were deemed primitive were generally doing just fine until europe influence over them. Just about every culture they touched they have forever damaged.

[flowersonhorseback]

@Jedibron innit, true said

[Sorgena]

They're swedish. The singer is a classical educated singer.

[PdashT]

In my opinion this version brings out the message of the lyrics better.

[theFoxthatTalks]

All those people..

[deathmonkey12x]

iron maiden did it better

[Ninjafruit123]

Honestly, it's a nice change, a good cover! But it's just not in my range of taste for music. I'm not tryin to start a fight, just saying it's good. :)

[imenhoteb]

va uppe nu å lyssna på orginalet...nä..jag tar cover i stället..

nästan så man tar den för orginalet i stället...den är bärttre..

[imenhoteb]

jag hörde den här på radion...så jag leta upp den på you tube,,,tycker den är bättre än orginalet..

[ballerunka]

Håller verkligen med dig, originalet är så jävla tråkig

[janborrowitz]

white faces are the biggest killers. F.O general Castro and the others

[starlettabigosis]

general custard.

[sclementoni]

Great version. In my favorites for months now.

[c2r5i3p]

lol this is too funny , Iron Maiden surpasses this

[Freddebasf]

Yes but that dosn't mean that this is bad! This cover is amazing!

[c2r5i3p]

No this cover fucking sucks !

[Freddebasf]

HAhaha Ok. You know, Iron Maiden sucks but whatever!

[c2r5i3p]

No the original is always the best . Not this abomination .

[HerrCanepa]

Great cover!

I love it!

[steffenz110]

..just like today in afg.,,ran to the hills,,

[mikaelwahss]

Love it!

[BONESonACID]

woah......im a killer:(

[rob825]

I've never heard this version of this song.

Its very different than the Maiden original but it also has a very unique sound that you wouldn't expect to hear on a metal song.

[theFoxthatTalks]

At least some are still alive and following the traditions.

They still remember Mother Nature and some of their old ways

[starlettabigosis]

exactly... but people who are blinded by sterotypes wont see those ones... they choose not to. they see the ones who arent jsut a bunch of welfare colelctors and drunks.. im a aboriginal myself and i recognize it. but it doesnt mean i have hate towards it. thats theyre life theyre decision. theres alot out there who are still traditional and they have jobs and are educators and so forth. people dont see it though.

[theFoxthatTalks]

The natives of America were told by the stars that the europeans would soon rape their lands and tear their lives.

Its painfully FORLORN and VERY grieving to imagine, "raping the women and wasting the men, the only good indians are tame".

[rottenCHICKENman]

cry cry

[theMISTER507]

waaaaa so touching

[JAKnl]

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L-!-!-!

[Kamoyaker]

Thank you for sharing that, I have a deep appreciation for native culture. Peace

[Dash171]

To all of the "Maiden Faithfull".....If you were truely "faithfull" to the "Message" that Iron Maiden originaly tried to convey, you would appreciate this visual....In other words, shut up and listen...Or just keep smoking dope and go someplace else.

[ulizinho]

well said, I agree. Metal fans can be so stubborn and narrowminded.

[KilledCZ]

TERRIBLE !

[stigmaweb]

I'm speechless ! Full Quality ! Great job! Amazing ! Awesome!

[DOWSEY36]

im realated to the indians so scrue you fanny foot onestrpker1

[theMISTER507]

haha

[jaknife99]

this version of the song destroyed the iron maiden original

[y559djr]

whoever thumbed down my last comment should know i wasnt being racist

merely commenting on how our culture is being destroyed

[y559djr]

i wonder if in a hundred years time

pictures like these will be the only memory people have left of native Britons/europeans...

[fearfeasa]

Jesus what a horrible version...

[onestrpker1]

wow, no offense, but indians were really ugly!

[cbr600f299]

you simplistic piece of i don't know what!!! how could you simplify this by such a statement!?!?!?

[onestrpker1]

who cares??, guess what, not me!

[drizzd1]

lol

[Borna909]

you say it sounds different...

what else are cover versions for?

Great version!

[Carsser]

Harris is deffo one of the best song writers!

[snakyjake9]

here i was, thinking i would get some nice quality heavy metal, when i actually get...this.

[alexcub25]

UP THE IRONS!!!!!

[CNN911Fakes]

rothschild came across the sea

He brought us pain and misery

He killed our tribes, he killed our creed

He took our game for his own need

******

But we watched TV. At least they fought!

[Artinnanen]

Wish all the indian tribes were still there, all around the vast waters, forests and prairies of the America! I wish the white man had never destroyed them. What are we white people really like? Truly fine photo selections.

[Jenova9910]

@Artinnanen Lol we are still here :) Thanks for the kind words they are much appreciated. Native americans as we like to be called run most of North america (Canada) There is about 75% native americans compared to white men but that doesn't mean we want to hurt them we are all about peace. Which is why We as a people let it happen :)

[mdetrano]

Oh for the love of pete...

Of course Iron Maiden's is the original and of course its better. You don't have to post it! This is an interpretation! And its a pretty good one. Sounds different but you at least know they understood the original.

[moparmaster45]

oh my god this is so bad that i cant just say omg

[captainmorgan555]

i hope this band dies..

[piratsaft]

The song wouldn't be as good without the pictures to go with it. Liked this.

Made me want to go watch Dances With Wolves again. :<

[1970mjim]

They are all gone. Gone are the hills and steps and the buffaloes. Just memories, and the memories are old. Eyes see, ear hears the hunter proudly speaks of his escapades. Hidden fireplaces in the grass where hunters laid to rest and spoke about day to come. Little did they know that that they all would be gone, gone with mother tounge and playing around tents, gone with grandpas stories around fireplace. Sad isent it that God sent white man to destroy many people.

[starlettabigosis]

god didnt send anyone to destroy anyone..they jsut didnt understand our way of life.

[pokegod184]

fucking gay!!!

[theFoxthatTalks]

Get lost. You've a short CRAP brain - AND you deserve a kick in the back.

[moloko76]

Iron Maiden did the original version, its on the "number of the beast "album from 1982.

[jjpme92un]

Wow. This is great. Somehow better than Maiden's. Who did this? I always thought it was strange that Maiden did that song. British metal band singing about what it is to be Native american. How strange is that?

[theFoxthatTalks]

Slightly sad. Emotional but good old song!!

[theFoxthatTalks]

Much slower and acoustic than Iron Maiden's song version. The pictures remind you and the words too. Its woeful but a bit hopeful

[assasin616]

is this the original, did iron maiden do a remake of this song, someone answer me. This version is so sad and it almost makes me cry, the iron maiden version makes want to be violent and party.

[Kompulsiv]

of course this is the cover!

[bassgeezer]

the maiden version was 1st

written by Steve Harris, with a big nod to the film 'Soldier Blue'.

[Journeyman107]

Wow, this cover gives the chorus a totally different feeling....amazing.......

[stonghold]

Wow, Seeing All These comments really is stupid. Im A Rich Native, I Share My Money, We are not drunk hoboes.

[C5rrr]

I was ready to rip this to shit, But i listened

to it, And Wow. This is powerful.

Dont get me wrong, Maiden is awsome.

But just take the time and listen.

[zanger1970]

are you fricking kidding me????? i am a huge maiden fan, and have been since '83' when i was an 8th grader! sure, i like the ripping guitar, and steve harris mashing that bass as he mums the words and nods (did the same thing in 84 on the Powerslave tour...must be his thing), but its still bad ass.....wanna hear another good one??? check out the Reverend Maynard James Keenan do John Lennons "Imagine" owoooo

[giorgosdel]

why are you all so close minded?

The point is not to do a better song than the original,it is to do something different.Why are you trying to compare it to the original?

Personally,i think the cover is very original and very nice..

[alexcub25]

good, but Iron Maiden is better

[Dargyr]

Slipstyle (and others): You can't compare. The original IM song is unbeatable in its own perspective. But this 'cover' is much more powerful than you can ever hope to realize, sadly enough. It's immensely beautiful and poetic - not a stage stunt for the likes of you.

[Whitewolfe05]

Thy for this great Video, the music is awesome

Mita`kuye ayasin - we are relatives

~Whitewolfe~

[kenny4888]

iron maiden original song RUN TO THE HILLS is better,but this song very good

[opulentmuzik]

wow, a happy version of run to the hills, so happy that the white men are killing and raping ... they must not know english and understand the words... ( ?? ) this means a question.. are you going to the store? and Timber!!!they must not know grammer either.. take up some peotry classes, it will help you understand the power of words and how to effectivly use grammer to convey a mood or feeling...

[Rowheart]

You dumb idiot. Can't you hear a sad song when you hear it? Iron Maiden made an optimistic sounding song, while this sounded very poetic and epic.... you are so damn dumb in your head.

[Woodennickel3]

This video shows the plight of the natives in North America, and the fact the the song is soft it does not take away from the message. The pictures that this video is made of come from Edward S. Curtis. He recorded a Brief history of the North American Indian from the late 1800' to early 1900's. His pictures are some of most incredible visions of natives and their lives and culture.

[opulentmuzik]

... My bass player is full blooded Idian... I dont ahve any problems with the pictures... but the Cover of the song... and still feel the same, !!! ??? ... grammer and expression go hand in hand. A happy, but lame cover...my friend... ouch!!!

[silversteinman200]

ki'ja mi"k kewl that means you mama sucks cock

[TheTrooper80]

this version of this giga hit of maiden is horrible.

[buckethearrocks]

yes it is but i think it is softer lol

[dimos103]

isnt this a song of iron maiden?

[buckethearrocks]

really good i love it the singer is good

[EmmaWibb]

I love it!

[aambored]

beautiful cover

[stefdebest]

WHAT! :|, this is the worst thing i ever heard! do you have got something in your ears maybe? i can't believe you actually think this is beatiful... they are just song killers....

[aambored]

hehe, there there. Nobody is going to force you to listen? I like it!

[stefdebest]

yeah..you're right..but it's just my opinion...

[nirvanayop]

as a cover.. it is so terrible =(.... but its a good work with a nice sound.... umm... I prefer Iron Maiden xD hehe.. but i like this song... greetings from argentina!! =)!

[stefdebest]

this group sucks.. iron maiden is so much better! after hearing this im bored to tears xD , they ruined this whole song! (not only this one..)

[ARandomCanadian]

Obama won! Run to the hills! Run for your lives!

[Snoiz]

Det borde vara straffbart att göra en så oseriös video som Maiden gjorde till den här låten! SKÄMMES ta mej fan!

Varför skriva en text om folkmordet på indianer för att sen skoja bort det hela i videon?

Denna avskalade version sätter verkligen TEXTEN i focus och den melankoliska stämningen i låten ger verkligen texten en gripande tyngd som får mej att fälla en tår varenda gång jag hör den.

Respekt Hellsongs!

[krillaction]

ord! blir så less på allt tjat om hur den här sången/videon skulle vara analvåldtäkt på Iron Maidens "heder" eller vad det nu är... men hur kan de ha något att förlora när de gör en rockballad om ett folkmord?
