  • I agree that covers should be different from the originals... But this is shit!.. Disneycore Pop...

    If you like this crap then I have no idea why you listen to Iron Maiden... Maiden is about rebellion... This crap is about popularity...

  • i wanna kill a bunch of emos. with a chainsaw.

  • this is awesome

  • realy great cover man...that is the point of covering songs, it should not be just a copy of the original

    great work :)

  • Vocals are a bit more chill and relaxing, but man do those instrumentals kick seven levels of ass!!! I like it

  • wtf!!!!!!!!

  • A real cover.

    Using their own sound to cover a band that they respect. What's the point in trying to mimic Iron Maiden anyway?

    It doesn't come close to Machine Head's cover to Hallowed but at least have the decency to respect it as a cover, not as an attempt to copy the song.

  • wtf??? You've just destroyed an awesome HEAVY METAL song and turned it into some gay tokio hotel crap. Thumbs up for old metal, pure and heavy!

  • 250 people had better run to the hills

  • liked the opening, it was awesome, rest of the song was....

    okay, i like the adaptation of adding a little screaming with some softer melodic singing and a softer rock tune.

    overall: good cover :D

  • Very good job guys! nice orchestration!!!

  • Lol... only guy who didn't mind the cover?

  • Wow just wow that is absolutely terrible iron maiden are metal, not a boy band Get the fuck out.

  • OUTSCH!

  • @kheekhee57 The symbols only reinforce my feelings that you may be a retard.

  • @acledmaiden HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAH

  • @acledmaiden this sucks

  • @IMaiden23 You suck.

  • ...I don't want to live on this planet anymore -_-

  • Very nice! The band actually cared to WORK on the cover and make something new instead of just copying Maiden style. I like this approach.

  • la cagaron ._.

  • This is why we can't have nice things

  • Compared to the original its pretty shitty but if I had never heard the original I wouldnt call this bad.

  • Bad cover. I like a band taking a song and making it there own but this? only thing the same is the lyrics which doesn't necessarily mean that its bad but the Guitar sounds nothing like the song and the drums? Too simplified. If you're going to make a cover atleast play close to the same tempo as the original too. Just my opinion so feel free to message so I can get some other input and opinions.

  • @randomdude54321

    I wouldn't call the guitar simplified at all. The riffs they've used are more complicated than just following a galloping rhythm and four chord progression like the original. Why would a cover need to be close to the same tempo as the original? I've seen metal bands cover pop songs at far faster tempos and the covers have sounded much better. They're using the same chords, following a fairly similar pattern with the piano intro. It's a valid reinterpretation of the song.

  • @tylerjswolff i was calling the drums simplified. i agree with this other comment. it almost sounds like a boy band. you have a valid argument but i still. its WAY too different. it would be hard to tell its a cover of that song by just hearing it. when i first heard it the only reason i found out was the person told me.

  • I like this alot.

  • but it sounds nothing like maiden??? sorry to the pple that like this band, but the singers voice sounds a little wussy

  • I dont listen to covers to hear the original, I want a band to take a song and in the spirit of the song make it sound like their own using their own music style. If I want the original, i'll go listen the original..

  • Honestly, I dont know the band Sign, and dont care what they sing, but I enjoy this cover. I have been listening to Metal for a great deal of my life, and ALL genres of Metal. But is everyone aware of what "Run To THe Hills" is about? Its a very somber and sad song in my opinion, and the way that Sign dipicted the song with their sad and melancholy aesthetic was appropriate to me.

  • utter tight emopants rape of a masterpiece

  • This cover is gay and sucks.What a crap they turned a masterpiece to a shitpiece!!

  • @orlandohoward12 Masterpiece? hardly.

  • @acledmaiden let me guess you like nu metal pop and metalcore.I have no word to say you.Go ahead you are just an idiot prefers this gay shitcore to real music.For you of course a masterpiece is have to have a gay sounded singer and somethimes it must gowl otherwise it couldnt be even metal.You are just a poser.

  • @orlandohoward12 You couldn't be more wrong. What you decribed is everything I hate. I hate this band, I don't like Maiden. But I would imagine from calling a Maiden song a masterpiece, tells me you don't have a very good taste in music.

  • @acledmaiden so your saying iron maiden sucks?

  • @acledmaiden Taste in music is all a preference, a masterpiece to one person may be garbage to another. Your ignorance and stupidity makes me lose faith in man kind just a little bit more.

  • @CA477544 And your timidness makes me loose faith.

  • @acledmaiden I can't imagine how I was timid, how should I tighten it for you? You need to learn to spell.

  • This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. Its different, its way more brutal and just so good!

  • Liked it. Just curious, what is a bell end?

  • @satanicmechanic86 Look down

  • @bcwabass LOL,

  • Why would anyone want to hear a cover that's exactly like the original? :/

  • @Milo9

    For the same reason people prefer some live versions over studio versions. Sometimes the little differences just make it a lot better. I'm glad they changed things up on this cover though.

  • gay

    

  • you misspelled Buddha

  • @stubon3 Oh. I don't know how I can live the rest of my life, living this lie...

  • @acledmaiden Don't sweat it, dude. I'm sure it's not the only lie you're living. And don't sweat all the Maiden fans giving you shit, they're just jealous the Sign singer can hit all the notes and they can't.

  • @stubon3 you mean jealous of the autotune, then...

  • I guess we are in this page cause we like the original song but wanted something fresh. This is a good cover in my opinion and giving a new perspective to a song is always interesting.(15 bpm's faster would be great tho..)

  • that do to certain bands covering iron maiden some of them just ruin the songs they cover COB ruined Aces High no offence to any COB fans on here but you gotta get my point bud if you are gonna doa cover you have to do atleast with respect to the music gods who wrote and i believe it was adrian that wrote the original. just leave the originals alone unless you cover em with respect and honour that is all we the iron maiden fans want

  • @davo1193 hey kid just go watch some sponge bob ,youtube is not for kids and COB does better than the original Maiden songs so do Metallica and Sign (i am a fan of Iron Maiden but the covers just sound better)

  • @TheMetalLord1000 hey old timer idc if the world is falling on it's ass 1. i aint no bloody kid mkay

    2. dont refer to me as a kid i aint no stupid fucking 16yr old idc if u like this or not, i am actually currently preserving WWII history, so yeah man dont refer to me as a kid

  • i am infact 21 yrs old okay

  • okay people metallica is not that great of a band no offence but i do respect the alot but these guys are jokes holy jesus they take a perfectly great song and reck it till there is nothing left of it honestly, think about bands like primal fear and fightstar do fucking awesome jobs on there maiden covers, that being said no one really beat the originals but these guys sound like a bunch of punk kids honestly something you hear in your mothers basement at home, also i would like to mention

  • @davo1193 I'd like to see you do better. FUCKER!!! Damn!!! You fucking hypocrite!!!

  • @davo1193 I dunno Iron Maiden are totally overrated so thats why I respect these covers. They take an average song and make it listenable.

  • @acledmaiden maiden overrated?????Go shoot yourself

  • @666Kaca Ah stereotypical maiden fans...

  • @acledmaiden sign fucked this song so bad i wanna kill them now

  • @956crazyman19 so you judge a band by the cover they make? have you listened to any other songs by them, these guys are amazing.

  • @Puffechu dude i listen to metal sign is a gay emo band why would i like them and iron maidens versions are better than theses bs covers how is iron maiden not listenable? it has to be a shitty cover to be able to be enjoyed?

  • @956crazyman19 i find some covers allot better than the original, and i cant listen to iron maiden even though i enjoy all music, but yeah i dont want to start an argument or what ever, everyone has theyre opinions :D

  • @Puffechu like what besides these iron maiden covers what other covers do you find better than the originals cause its very rare that it happens

  • Song actually makes sense now.

  • Didn't like it the first time I listened to it. But since I'm a massive fan of the Ghostlines cover (which is another slower one), I thought I'd give it another chance and actually, it's pretty good!

  • I actually prefer this version

  • What is this?! Sorry this cover version is not good at all...

  • Its Funny How Every1 Is Complaining that Theirs Screamo...... But If Jedward Done It Ull All Be Screaming Like Little Gonks :L

  • I like it.

    I like Sign.

    I love Iron Maiden.

    I'd have been pissed if they copied it beat for beat, I'm glad they made it their own.

    Now for the haters to voice their opinion.

  • Cover or not a cover,

    Supposed to mirror the original or not,

    They're own take on the song or not,

    This fucking sucks

  • Hmm. The only thing that was the same was the lyrics, even then it was mostly crap singing.

  • its a re imagining people. and a very good one. its not intended to mirror the original

  • iron maiden version is better,this one sound like crap.if they cant make it sound gewd y even make a cover for it.

  • FUCK THAT SHIT!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP TO THESE FAGS!!! FUCK YOU!! EMOS!!!

  • @Fuckyouall0666 and The Chavs Have A Go Lmfao!

  • Comment removed

  • god i hate living in this age xD

  • @acledmaiden i know you aren't in sign,it made more sense if you reallise that i meant it was good until they covered it.

  • he brought us pain and faggotry, why cover somthing just to make it a homosexual love ballad

  • This isnt emo, it's just a cover..a good cover

  • god this sounds so EMO and shit. EMOs are shit anyways.

  • @1991GothicSoul666 It's about the massacre of the new world, where the spanish slaughtered the shit out of the american indians..

    I think it's meant to sound depressive......

    Honestly dude, are you THAT fucking ignorant?

  • @HellCatFury12 You sir, speak the truth.

  • it was a good song.....until you covered it.

  • @JamesMallow "you"? I'M NOT IN SIGN. Read the annotations on the video, I just uploaded it to whore views. For fuck sake, Iron Maiden fans get really touchy about stuff like this.

  • @acledmaiden lol hey buddy i can't blame the maiden fans for getting tocuhy with this music trust me being a maiden fan myself this is foooking stupid cover, it fails to EPICLY, EPIC FAIL+EPIC FAIL= EPIC FAIL

    honestly if i show this on facebook many maiden fans would be upset it's not intended to be covered by youngsters like this sign band sound like a panzies sorry that was a metal tune and thus it should stay like one dude trust me, this is complete garbage it just is sorry,.

  • @acledmaiden i know your not part of the band thank god but they should have never have tried to cover that song

  • @JamesMallow he didnt cover it lmao!!! its a great cover by sign, bt the orignal cannot be beaten!

  • i must say i do love this cover, dont get me wrong i love iron maiden with a passion that some may consider borderlines erotic, but i never thought that Bruce could really deliver the beauty of this songs lyrics. It may be maiden's originally but this cover just sounds right to me although i do enjoy the original for the instrumentation but vocals; this one wins it for me.

  • Its a good song. Just not really.

  • fucking fail cover!

  • Why does everyone hate this cover? It clearly shows talent, that they can rework such an amazing song and still make a solid rock song out of it...yeah it's different, yeah it's not Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris going insane...but it's really good.

  • @DarthTwoddle different beats, different tempo, in some parts its not the right vocals. I prefer the covers that sound almost exactly like the original(Machine Head's cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name), this BARELY sounds like Maiden's song

  • @ManOSteel2121 I like covers that sound like the original, but I really do like it when a band takes a song, and twists it into a whole other dimension...NOBODY expected Sign to pull out a cover like this, and even if you don't like it, you have to respect the creativity involved in it :)

  • Love this, Love the original. It's not mutually exclusive :)

  • Sounds nothing like the original? It's their version of the song, and they did it with their own style. Sign are very talented and good musicians, and I would love to see you try to come up with such a unique version of an original song and try to do it better than Sign. Iron Maiden is a great band and one of my favs, and if you think this sucks or what ever, you should not consider yourself a fan, and don't have much music knowledge.

  • @draxter06 Sign sucks, this cover is shit, and you wouldn't know good music if it bit you in the ass.

  • Eddie will be on the warpath. Sign should run to the hills and not come back...

  • @Stevoshsb nah........eddie will put up a "sign" for all the haters to run to the hills

  • This is absolute shit.

  • I like it because it is they're adaptation of the song and it's not a copy. It's not on my daily playlist but it is done very tastefully. BTW Iron Maiden is the best metal band ever to come along but hey other stuff is good too.

  • I like it because it is they're adaptation of the song and it's not a copy. It's not on my daily playlist but it is done very tastefully.

  • why the fuck does everyone think this is bad...honestly its fucking awesome the only reason everyone hates it is because they're too die hard of maiden fans to open their ears to anything else

  • @fimeeee No, this is garbage broski, these chicks have no talent, it also sounds nothing like the original song, this sounds like the lead singer is trying her vain attempt to leech Maiden's fame. Also every other song on the album was amazing man.

  • @Damnurai Sign's singer is a man...

  • @acledmaiden With that voice, you could fool me.

  • @Damnurai Well considering what you said, I think it DID fool you not could have. Just to let ya know....

  • @fimeeee it's legitimatley bad, thats why everyone thinks its bad. If the whole thing was like the intro, then I'd fucking love it. outside of the intro the vocals are absolute shit and the whole pace is ridiculously off.

  • @Rockmaster354 give me one fucking time where the vocals are bad and how is the pace off???

  • @fimeeee uhmmm, have you actually heard the original song? this entire song is terrible except for the intro. the riff that they use in the main song is fucking disgusting and sounds absolutley nothing like maiden. I can understand trying to put your own spin on a cover, but this is retarded.

  • @RyeGUY911 i thought it was cool but everybody has different tastes

  • Fucking disgrace.......

    that is just absolutely shite......

    sounds like westlife doing a cover

  • *spits*

  • I can understand make changes to a song when you cover it; verbatim covers can get pretty old.

    But this... All they kept were the lyrics.

    They butchered the melodies, and added really terrible screams.

    The guitar not only sounds like ass noise, but it's not even half as difficult as the original to play. Hell, the distortion is like a really lame kind of Djent.

    Maybe it's because the style it's done in has no appeal to me, but this is just about the worst cover I've heard in my life.

  • @axolotlkips Idk about this one, but the original isn't that hard to play. The solo is a bit difficult, but the rest of the song isn't that hard.

  • @axolotlkips How does how difficult something is to play have any impact on how good it is? Sign's riff is different to the original, yes, but I like it. It's their take on the song, and imo it captures the essence of the subject matter incredibly well. No it's not Maiden but then again this isn't a Maiden tribute band.

  • i like this, i think its better than the original :)

  • this is awesome tbf, great cover!

  • wow, this is the gayest piece of shit ive heard in a long time.

  • The original version makes me envision soldiers and native warriors riding their horses into bloody battle.

    This version makes me picture those same soldiers and warriors, but they are slapping each other with limp wrists while they cry, making their mascera run.

    And then calling it quits and running to their homes so they can try to sound tough on their computers.

  • @Billinois78 Your comment makes me think you're a massive bender.

  • @acledmaiden Your comment makes me think you're rather limey.

  • @Billinois78 Thanks baldy.

  • @acledmaiden You are hilarious (not really). If I didn't know better, I would swear you were actually in the band. Why else would you take MY OPINION on this cover so personallly?

  • @Billinois78 I'm not taking you serioulsy, can't you see this is funny? Fucking hell grow up

  • @Billinois78 Oh shit, your sooooo true. The original is so badass. This is assbad... Bleeeeeeeckth....

  • ecco come distruggere una canzone bellissima!!!

  • Seems some people dont like change in there tributes hahahaha.

  • How my ears cry oceans of blood from listening to this...this...thing

  • i abseloutely love maiden. but i must say there original run to the hills is probably one of the most overated songs in metal. in the case of this tribute, i would say its actualy better than the original in all honesty.

  • i like iron maiden but i really dont like bruces voice its not right for the type of music

  • @leighthe01 lolwut?

  • what garbage

  • According too my father.

    It is the most pathetic accuse for a cover on the face of of the earth, and sounds like a grade school chior.

    I agree.

  • Not a fan of the whole song but I like how they did the chorus.

  • just awful!!!!

  • This cover licks balls.

  • The title's mucked up, its a tribute not a cover, so they can do it however they want, its not that bad either, but I think I'll stick with the maiden version

    Up the Irons!!!!!

  • @cardy91 Fuck You

  • in fairness the vocals are nice, justed to the song and, the song doesnt sound anything like Run to the hills till the chorus

  • u ppl r stupid 172 dnt like cxome on u r suppose to like the ending come who ever like the begining thumbs up if u dnt thn im sorry for my comment

  • Thor =D I do enjoy this version, but only the intro; the original version is much, much better

  • Pretty cool. Obviously the original is far better, but I like the fact that it's not just some band playing and singing it identical to the original. That would be pointless.

  • this is by far the WORST cover i have ever heard...a combination of whiny and growling lyrics, wayyy too slow tempos, messed up rhythms, terrible drums, and all in all, a terrible interpretation of a great song. they turned this song from one of the greatest metal songs of all times to a crappy song not even worth listening too.

  • blasphemy.

  • Worst cover ever. EAT SHIT, YUPPIE FUCKS.

  • i love it. not as good as the original but still very good. up the irons \,,/

  • Comment removed

  • @The1craige yes not so good, but if listened with you it could be really good :)

    UP THE IRONSSSSSSSSS \m/

  • fucking love it

  • This cover completely fucking sucks. It doesn't even sound like Run The The Hills AT ALL.

  • I've said it before but I initially didnt like this cover but after a few listens it grew on me

  • @dnnnr i dont like it at all but like i keep coming back :P i dont like it at all its just addictive :P

  • @facebook123123 so...kinda like musical masochism then?

  • @dnnnr rofl dude u llike metallica and children of bodom? there completely different styles. where the hell do u hear this kinda stuff in metallica? and trust me metallica is my favourite band i have listened to every song they have ever written... even the ones not published. do u know who inspired metallica? iron maiden. not this shitty band

  • @facebook123123 shit sorry dude wrong person

  • @dnnnr Agreed. I got that "Maiden Heaven" cd a couple days ago & heard this. I thought it completely sucked, although i listened through the whole cd a few times & this song definitely sounds better now. I listen to Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Helloween, all that jazz, & i can admit, for some of the covers out there, this is nice =)

  • @despair790 I thought it was a decent cover album overall but it had some dreck on it I personally cannot fucking fathom why madina lake were allowed to cover a maiden song also could you recommend me a helloween album I've heard keeper of the seen keyes is pretty good

  • @dnnnr Although if You'd like to really listen to Helloween, but are questionable bout really gettin into them, get there compilation album Treasure Chest. It's how i got into them =)

  • @despair790 thanks for the advice its nice to see theres still a few sane people in youtube

  • @dnnnr Of course man! I'm here to help =) the sanity is still in tact thank You haha

  • @dnnnr Haha yeah that cover was shit. I really liked all 3 of the "Keeper Of The Seven Keys" albums, they're all highly reccomended =) I'd recommend: Master Of The Rings: Highlights being Where The Rain Grows & Perfect Gentleman.

    The Dark Ride: The Dark Ride & Mr. Torture

    Gambling With The Devil: It has this awsome, dark sound to it, in a sense kinda eerie. Gets stuck in Your head haha highlights being all the songs!

  • maybe as a stand alone song it wold be good, but Run to the Hills has too much Prestige.

  • Well this is different... Definitely not what I was expecting... But I like it nonetheless. I love Kerrang!'s cover albums, they always have so many very different songs on them, and it is nice sometimes to hear a change. Although I must say, I do prefer the Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium covers, but maybe that's just me

  • o my god this is freakin horrible!

  • @d3vilchild7

    u can go suck these guys, u'll probably all enjoy it anyway since ur all gay wanks

  • I like this better for some reason.Tha original is fucking awesome though
