This version definitely has more feeling than the Metallica version. But, I prefer the Metallica version simply because it is heavier and better to headbang to lol.
Sloopy i will have to disagree with. Is it up to par with the standard that Opeth has created for themselves. Yes and No. This song creates the ambiance of their earlier albums, which i believe complements this song quite well. But i don't believe it it be the most technically crafted song they have, even if it is a cover.
It depends on the person mate, some like it like this, but some like it in a more romantical way as in the Iron Maiden version. I like them both but not the metallica version.
i like Metallica's version, Opeth's version and the Iron Maiden original. I like the guitar and bass to this one the most. However i like Metallica's vocals and drums more. Iron Maiden is just legendary!
Excellent cover, comming from Opeth we could only expect a great song, they manage to be very heavy, but also very technical and harmonic in all their songs.
the falsetto note that michael did was a little weird. I prefer metallica's and I think iced earth's maiden covers are the best. Even with all the extra palm muting.
nah ...it still a cover...iron maiden s much better

he's singing the vocals at regular speed while the guitar in the background is too fast. Very sloppy cover

Opeth played Mr. Smalls May 5, and Mikael had the following conversation with the crowd about this cover:
Mikael: "Have you heard our Iron Maiden cover?"
Crowd: "cheers"
Mikael: "It fucking sucks!"

I prefer Metallica's version. The sing for Opetha didn't put enough into it. He doesn't really change the heaviness of his voice throughout the song.
