  • Acabo de oir la cover de sevenfold y es una PUTA BASURA. Mierda de voz, mierda de coros...la de Iron Maiden es infinitamente mejor. Sevenfold me parece una banda del montón tirando a mala, no comprendo como puede tener tanto exito.

    Now I'll try to say that in english, my english isn't very well, but i'll do my best xD

    I just heard the sevenfold cover and I think it stinks, a fucking rubish. The voice is shit, the chors are shit...the maiden's is infinitefuckinawesomest than the seven's.

  • Fuck avenged sevenfold and fuck the cover, this is the only Flash of the Blade I know, start to listen to good music.

  • it's so far better the version of avenged sevenfold

  • @auridanthex as you say that Iron Maiden is one of the best metal bands and avenged just a beginner and the song is better with iron maiden that is theirs is the original

  • OMG. COME ON YOU GUYS. I came on here to hear the original version of this song. And i come to see all these trolling comments. Honestly, shut the hell up! There's no reason for fighting. It's stupid, annoying, and ignorant. Just grow up!!! If you don't have anything nice to say then keep it to yourself. Grow up!!

  • what the fuck is this shit. this music is terrible. i listen to rebecka black because shes the best singer ever born.

  • @TheLovetocatchbass Obvious troll is incredibly obvious.

  • @TheLovetocatchbass trying to be a troll? well I don't believe that's the right way to do it.. who's gonna believe you? rebecka black has no fans.. duh

  • @TheLovetocatchbass

    Obvious troll obviously sucks at being a troll.

  • @TheLovetocatchbass Protip for trolling dude, if you're going to troll music fans, don't use something completely absurd.

  • @TheLovetocatchbass you didn't even spell her name right >_<

  • @TheLovetocatchbass Fail Troll boooo No one listens to her so your a FAIL Troll

    Trololloololol

  • On the first point, my mother has been dead for ten years. Not really practical to try and track down ten year old clothing that went to the salvation army just to cry into it. And I'm not sure what you mean by "Taking it literally". You used no metaphors or colloquial phrases that could be misconstrued as something else. Is the last sentence is supposed to be some sort of insult? I'm not sure. Are you talking about the actual planet or the people on it? Be more specific.

  • @TheWoodencrow I have to stop working double shifts. Sleep deprivation is killing my proofreading.

  • So many Iron Maiden fanboys raging at the mention of another band that did a cover that was so much greater than the original. Mature.

  • What's funny about this song is the song's about fencing. :)

  • No no no no this is metal, the avenged's cover is shit.

  • You people who keep bringing up avenged sevenfold, shut the fuck up. This is an Iron Maiden video. We only talk about Maiden in here. Go talk about that shit in Avenged sevenfolds cover.

  • What's funny about this song is the song's about fencing.

  • you people are fucking retarded when did a7x say they were better than iron maiden? they wanted to respect to them by doing a cover

  • Iron Maiden is one of the greatest metal bands of all time.

    Avenged Sevenfold is one of the greatest metal bands of today.

    BOTH VERSIONS ARE AWESOME.

  • Avenge Says Maidens version is better end of discussion.

  • Maiden Fuking rule and A7x aint half as good as them

  • Avenged Sevenfold are awesome. And im a straight up thrasher..

  • AVENGED SEVELFOLD CAN'T TOUCH IRON MAIDEN!

  • いつ聞いても最高だぜぃ

  • avenged sevelfold's version is WAAAY better

  • @theamazingmaze14 fuck off

  • @theamazingmaze14 you poor delusional fuck

  • Guys, why don't you just stop complaining about who is the best band and listen to the version you like the most? Every band has good and bad points...

  • One of the Best Heavy Metal Song! Unfortunately, they don't play it ALIVE! It would be Amazing!!! With 3 Guitars, exactly like it sounds!

  • The Rhapsody Of Fire's Version (A REAL metal band) is good, very similar to the original... and maybe, FOR ME is the best Iron Maiden cover ever...

  • I have never seen an avenged sevenfold fan past the age of 18. (they all act around 12 though)

  • ok we get it...some people like the avenged sevenfold cover and some people like the original

  • @elmocheesecake1174, I like both of them;). The truth is, that A7x made great cover, but Bruce is the best singer ever. Sorry Shadows, but Bruce is way better than you.

  • @Bambi13089 have to agree with you there

  • Nothing is ever better than the original

  • The A7X version is very good but the original song was made by MAIDEN. Remember IRON MAIDEN

  • sevenfold is my favourite band ever, and always will be, but ya cant beat the original version as iron maiden kicks ass :'D

  • A7X's version is so much better 

  • @ShadowShocker99 lol no

  • Fucking awesome album cover 

  • stupid children :) A7X made covers of Irons and Pantera to give them respect, not to be "better". Me - as an A7X fan like A7X version of "Flash of the blade" more, but that's because I dont like style of old-metal bands. It's just my opinion. But I respect every band.

  • Phenomena, anyone?

  • Ive been listening to the a7x versions of this and pantera's "walk" found the this and panteras orginals and never listened to a7x versions again.

  • all the powerslave is fucking awesome, all the musics with bruce dickinson is fuckin awesomeeeee i always wilkl love maiden

  • great concert in toronto in 1986 maple leaf gardens

  • i actually think Avenged Sevenfold redid the song better but overall

    Iron Maiden>Avenged Sevenfold anyday

  • @99chrisjc UGH are you serious? I fucking can't stand Avenged... Honestly, the ONLY song of theirs that is good is in fact that cover of a Maiden song. Its because they didn't have any creative power over it (and y'know, fuck it up).

  • @hellfencer not to start a fight, but A7x to me is pretty good and are one of the most diverse bands out there

  • @99chrisjc Well, to each their own, I say, but still... *shiver* I'd be just fine never hearing them again.

  • how dare you compare Maiden to sevenfold... you are a sinner sir

  • @marpatmarver whats wrong with liking more than 1 band these days..

  • @marpatmarver yeah! avenegd sevenfold is much better! sorry if you disagree , people have diferents opinions..

  • @RenanGuerra182 if you think a7x is better,you know nothing about music. 

  • @marpatmarver They are both equally good bands plus James Hetfeild says they are the future of metal.

  • @marpatmarver sinner and a dumbass :D

  • @marpatmarver Avenged is the Metallica of today. The cover rocks.

  • @TholomewPlague28 avenged is preaty awesome your right!

  • @marpatmarver

    eehh duude a7x ftw both bands are fucking epic

  • @marpatmarver

    RITE!!! A7X is better!

    Nah just jockin (or maybe not!)

  • @unchartedfanboy That was almost unintelligible. let's see if I understand what you typed just then.

    You enthusiastically endorse the opinion that Avenged Sevenfold is better than Iron Maiden, refute this endorsement by passing it off as a joke, and then tentatively suggest that you may have been disingenuous concerning your second comment.

    Why say anything at all if you're going to contradict yourself every third word? You flip flop more than a politician at election time.

  • @TheWoodencrow

    So what! If you don't like jokes go cry in your mom's dress! Come on man! so you took what i said literally? If the world was like you, the world would be fucked up!

  • i love the backing vocals Bruce did on this song

  • a7x sucks!

  • @Fuckavengedcockyfold Nem tanto né.. aiushaiusash

  • @Fuckavengedcockyfold dude... get a life

  • there is a reason why Iron Maiden is one of the best metal bands of all time x)

  • The cover maded by Avenged Sevenfold Is Better the original music :D

  • @dodibatera not even A7X think that retard

  • @dodibatera then go listen to A7X and stop spamming this video.

  • @dodibatera learn to spell retard

  • @lronmaidenRgods Go Suck the ass of the members of iron maiden

  • @dodibatera learn to insult retard

  • @lronmaidenRgods okay, i am a retard... and dont know how to insult :,(

  • @dodibatera lol, grow up

  • @lronmaidenRgods Okay, thanks to help me how insult and how to spell ;D

  • @dodibatera dude i love a7x, and i like maiden too .. and i can honestly say that you are wrong, as you said is a cover not the original

  • i like the music yeah...

    

  • awesome song!!!!!!!!

    

  • fuck yeah i like this music ''Go IM

    eioeoieeoi'

  • For all those fucking kids who think to know everything....

    Iron Maiden didn't create heavy metal but they came out when disco music and punk seemed to rule the world and created the so-called NWOBHM (New wave Of British Heavy Metal)!

    And now, go back upon your books or mom would spank your pink buttocks!

  • @RoyalKingOfRock what? how old are you? 6 or 8?

  • Rhapsody of Fire covered this song!

  • How come Iron Maiden can release two albums in two years (1983 & 1984), but most bands today spend years trying to write something half as good???

  • @AlexMcKenna93 Because they are gods :D

  • This song fits the video game Fable perfectly!

  • @OzzyFan87 hey your right!!!I never thought of it.But the first time I heard it Darth Vader came in my mind.

  • you should hear new cover of rhapsody of fire

  • Iron Maiden cannont be placed in a Genre, they are the creator off all :)

  • fock you were is JANICK

    

  • The original one's SO FUCKING EPIC! but I have to agree that A7X did a really, REALLY great job with their cover.

  • A7x can do a great cover of this song but can they do songs that match maiden songs in epicness ?? ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!!! :D

  • @Frankzi1 no they can.... get over yourself

  • UP THE IRONS FROM GREECE!!!!!

  • "I prefer A7x version" They covered it.. they didn't "Make a version of this song" they covered... Cover can't beat the original because Steve Harris wrote this song. GL writing this song A7X nobody can touch Steve Harris's ability to write music. HE IS A GOD

  • @allanonskid I actually dont think M.Shadows voice suites this song

  • @allanonskid umm no it's a version cos they put their own style on it. yeh its a cover but it is in a way another version of the song and don't put that shit oh they created so theirs is obviously better you can always do something better than someone else. I believe A7x cover is better than the original though thats my opinion.

  • this is probably the most underrated maiden song ... i put it in my top 10 easily

  • @jackhandy213 deffinately between this song or the duelist for most underrated maiden song.

  • @jackhandy213 no, is alexander the great

  • @jackhandy213 you've got the reason

  • un pur moment de metal!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love Iron Maiden version and i love A7X version, i fucking love this song! \m/

  • This is a really good song but i have to say i like A7X cover better since its theirs that got me to notice this 1. thats why most i think like Avenged cover better since its more new and most don't kno this 1 cos it isn't that famous. Both bands perform well but imo A7X do it better. Don't hate the comment cos u disagree, thumb down if u must but don't reply with stupid shit saying i'm wrong, ITS A MATTER OF OPINION!!! same with everyone elses comment either agree or disagree.

  • @MistyShadow007 i prefer a7x version too. its because i love M.shadow's voice.

  • @MistyShadow007 I respect your opinion...but just for the record you were probably still shiting yellow and dragging on the tit when this first came out, if you were even around...but you are entitled to your opinion......just say'en not haten Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @dennisgolleher I was born 10 years later though i appreciate 70s and 80s music. Only 2 covers of iron surpass imo opinion A7X flash of the blade and trivium's Iron Maiden. The whole point of covers is to give notice to these songs to a younger generation and make it sound newer as well as pay respects to the band. With so many tribute albums to maiden i think only 2 songs surpass the original. Not hatin my ass dude.

  • Up the Iron from Puerto Rico...best band ever

  • Up the Irons from Ireland! \m/

  • up the irons from japan

  • I like Iron Maidens version better than Avenged because its original and matches Bruce better than M. Shadows,, but I do also like Avenged Sevenfolds version because the sound is more updated. There ya go . No arguing. aint that crazy?

  • @yeabudie745 the backup singing i think is better in A7X since the whole band is bigger on that than maiden is.

  • UP THE IRONS FROM LEBANON!!!!!

  • But anyways, I probably shouldn't have said that and just went on with my second comment, no hard feelings man. I love Iron Maiden and this is one of my favourite songs, I'm just gonna leave it at that and continue enjoying and playing it. :)

  • I like the Avenged Sevenfold cover better. :p

  • @jomoorigotto fuck you

  • @pedrao8996 I was merely expressing an opinion, which is what the comment section was made for. If you don't like this here is a quote: "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."

  • @jomoorigotto i was just going to put that in a comment.

  • @Pottsonapoop32Great minds think alike! haha I think the guitar has a better sound, to me, and I LOVE M. Shadows voice

  • @jomoorigotto I agree

  • @jomoorigotto Are you fucking high?

  • @Poisonwolf4 Nope, not a stoner. Just a living being expressing his opinion on music via internet, you?

  • @jomoorigotto Haha, chill dude, I was kidding, both are good but Maidens is better, Shadows can't match Bruce's pitch :p

  • @Poisonwolf4 Although I agree with you you're telling me to chill, but your response to my comment was "Are you fucking high?".

  • @jomoorigotto Haha dude, thats something that I say to my friends jokingly on a daily basis and something they say back when we don't agree, don't take it so seriously ;)

  • Iron Maidennn!! Como Me Encantassss!!!!

  • Rhapsody Cover FTW

  • thumbs up if you thought you was about to listen it at live concert

  • So i went to listen to the A7X version and to tell you the truth its nothing special....

  • good

    

  • A7X sucks!

  • silvertear 1; PHENOMENA is a very underated film. I originally saw it in a heavily-cut version under the title of CREEPERS.....and in that form, it's virtually incomprehensible! The first IRON MAIDEN album i heard was "Number of the Beast" when I was sixteen-a friend played it to me and I was hooked! Up the Irons!

  • lets just see if anyone remembers avenged sevenfold in 30 years

  • Avenged Sevenfold sucks!

  • @czw321 in my opinion,due to me being raised on the rock of today,i am not for this calm rock,its okay for the time it was around,but i think avenged sevenfold is better in my opinion,and for all the ppl that say that iron maiden is better,remember,this is just my opinion,if you cant accept it and want to be a bullheaded motherfucker,then be my guest.

  • @XxArchfiendChaosxX lol im 16 and was "raised on the rock of today" yet I like Iron Maiden better both bands are good but Iron Maiden is one of my favorite bands. Everyone has their own opinion however and i'm just glad you have good taste in music and don't listen to that disney $#%@.

  • @FeelFreetoDie yeah,so am i

  • UP THE IRONS

  • I love IRON MAIDEN and I really like AVENGED SEVENFOLD......but I wasn't that keen on their version of this song. I actually heared this first on the soundtrack of the Dario Argento film PHENOMENA and it was basically Horror films that got me into Metal. Didn't hear anything that was the musical equivalent of a Horror film until I heared MERCYFUL FATE and KING DIAMOND. Nevertheless....UP THE IRONS!!!!

  • @eibon81

    This music was spot on in "Phenomena" and it was also Jennifer Conelly's debut.

  • So Iron Maiden and a7x have toured together and get along greatly. a7x looks up to maiden so anyone who insults maiden is also indirectly insulting a7x. and I'm pissed i didn't see them tour together that would have been a fucking killer ass show. One of the best bands of the 80's and one of the best of today together THATS EPIC AS HELL

  • Powerslave is their best album!!! On the best in the history of metal.

  • Lyrics killed it

  • even live Iron Maiden is one of the best bands in Heavy Metal. What kind of a band that has absolutely great and talented live vocals, guitar magic and flawless rhythm-section? Nicko McBrain hits almost every drummer in modern metal in the way of free playing and acoustic sound. and yes, I forgot he doesn't metronomes, triggers live and he always improvises :)

  • Iron Maiden is the best and tightest band in Heavy Metal. Their musicianship level is stronger than anyone else's. This song is from Powerslave, 1984. Which means there were no absolutely ridiculous triggers, compressors, plastic distortions, auto-tunes and digitally overproduced vocals. Lots of bands try to do good covers of Maiden but I heard only Dream Theater's "To Tame A Land" that could stand next to the original. Man, NOBODY can beat their musicianship level. NOBODY! :)

  • IF U PEOPLE ARE RAGGING ON THIS SONG U NEED A LESSON IN MUSIC U PUKES!!!!!!!! THIS IS A CLASSIC & ALL MAIDENS MUSIC KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!GO BACK 2 U'R POP ROCK ,METAL OF 2 DAY & JERK OFF 2 IT U YOUNG ASS WIPERS!!!!!

  • holy shit this sucks ass no offense but i came here cuz everyone was talking shit on the avenged sevenfold cover and i thought this would be way better but i guess it just boils down to taste of music

  • @loganizz124 well, i also like A7x version more, but you could have more respect to the irons, because they've recorded this one in 1984

  • @loganizz124 the simple difference is that without maiden avenged sevenfold wouldnt probably exist nowadays and that actually exactly this song is the soundtrack of one of the best horror movies of all times PHENOMENA! Its about taste i know but avenged sevenfold will be one of those bands gone and forgotten in time 5 years. How many years is that Iron Maiden is playing?

  • @OmegaDarkful dude shut it. A7X is an amazing band. stop hating

  • @12Bravo407 man, i dont hate anybody n any band at all, just sometimes is sad to hear about bands who created heavy metal being put behind others who started playing 2 years ago

  • @OmegaDarkful they have been around since 1999. they have had their fare share of experiences with music.

  • @12Bravo407 ok, pointless to argue at this point. you have won, they are better than iron maiden

  • @OmegaDarkful they are both very good in their own ways. different times, differet styles, both kick ass!

  • @OmegaDarkful I'm gonna say it for you, A7X sucks. UP THE IRONS!!!

  • @Maidensfan1 Man, honestly, my heart really breaks everytime i get on youtube and i read such ammount of bullshits towards one of the bands who actually CREATED heavy metal! There are all these people who started listening to real music two days ago and still they have to express their dumb opinion over things they dont even know about! To dislike or not a song is something, to say that a cover is better than the original (when sounds exactly the same but played bad) is another. Ehhhh...

  • @OmegaDarkful Black Sabbath CREATED heavy metal. Judas Priest, Rainbow, and Deep Purple all came before Maiden too. Now, that's no disrespect to Maiden, but I'm not a fan of historical revisionism. Maiden was arguably the best band of the NWOBHM, but see, that stands for New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Couldn't have been part of that movement if they invented the genre, now could they? The "New" part pretty much says that alone.

  • @Undercoverfire it's sad that NWOBHM isn't an 'official' genre, it would get rid of the confusion and stop them from riding the line between Rock and Metal.

  • @OmegaDarkful dude youre a load of bullcrap, Iron Maiden didnt create heavy metal

  • @kingfelix0 i bet you deed, instead. good luck and jerk less

  • @OmegaDarkful Fuck 'em. Like all fads, they'll be gone in a heartbeat while bands like this will be forever remembered and loved for all time to come! 

  • @OmegaDarkful Yeah, Maiden is a 'standard' of Heavy Metal, one of the bands who contributed to the development of this Style. I'm fourty, I lived in a village of 500 inhab. in 1984, where the 'heavier sounds' came from dogs, and our cassette player and had the chance to get this Album... 27 years later.... my opinion, is that no one can disagree this is a Piece of Mind, Art in its pure essence... those who have understanding... This is A REAL BIG BAND !!!!

  • @druhjt damn right, man! It seems we got a whole generation that have missed something like 20 years of music... they started listening music in late nineties with new bands and totally forgot to get back to the roots to understand what actually real music was supposed to be! Very sad and very disrespect towards old bands and old fans!

  • @Maidensfan1 Man, I'm gonna kick your ass for saying that. And another thing is that a7x made a really great cover for this song.
