Sonata Arctica - Die With Your Boots

[HAWXLEADER]

PERFECT COVER

waaay better than original

but the sound quality is awefull!!!!!!

i better hear that on 320kbps on my ipod

[MrHuuhaata]

I like both this and maidens version.

[melkaia14]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 D:!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEVER!

[VladHeavyMetal1]

i like this version

[Wytchfynder1982]

better than the original??? no freaking way guys...the chorus sounds like eurovision contest song....also there is a missing part in the cover...the best part of the original track i guess. By the way, this is a really good cover!

[thesonekamitu]

All hail Power Metal!

[luigi1932]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66

No Iron Maidens os much better then this version still a great song though.

Up the Irons and SA fans may be proud.

But better then Iron Maiden No not by a really far distance.

[BkkCheesepie]

Definately more "power metal" than "Heavy metal" good cover though.

[FrenchGuitarist59]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 I don't think Iron Maiden is better, they are better, that's all. :)

[crazyperson3245]

it must mean something when a band wants to cover another bands music so why all the bitching? they're both great covers

[crazyperson3245]

@kizaru2000 i disagree

[McJohnGr]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 The refrean is impressive but get serious...

[zombiecomix]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 Uh, no it's not...Not even close...

[Rayquazathedragon]

I'll say it...It's fuckin' awesome the way SA makes their cover songs sound better than the originals! Long live metal \m/

[DioandMaiden]

A great cover and a great tribute to Maiden. Idk though i obviously prefer the original. But Sonata is one of my favorite bands so its odd. The beat and tempo doesn't feel as bad ass as the original. I'll stick with Dream thieves and the whole Reckoning Day album lol.

[chiske]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 "El cover, estoy de acuerdo, pero Dickinson canta mejor, Steve toca mejor y la versión de Iron Maiden suena más heavy. Lo entenderás con el tiempo

pd: Mira Berserk, harto mejor que Naruto"

[chiske]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 This cover is good, I agree, but Dickinson sings better, Steve plays better and the Iron Maiden version sounds heavier. You'll get it with time.

pd: watch Berserk, way better than Naruto

[tagueulejfta]

IRON MAIDEN FTW.

[chiske]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 How come can you say something like that? Oh, you like Naruto.... I see

[eurolot]

much better the original version, this one is too clear

[educatedcockroach]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 I think he says "Maiden is better" not because they've been around longer (since when does that matter?), but because, well, they are better. They wrote the bloody song. Besides, there must be a reason Sonata here covered it: they clearly like Maiden, "influenced" by them even. "Power metal is better", jeeeeezus.

And Dragonforce is shit, come on, they sound like a computer and are utter shit live as they're so over-produced.

[GuitarBill13]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 I 've been a Maiden fan 8 years now and i think the same too...i hate to admit it though :P

[MegaSlash86]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 I agree that this cover is great but still Maiden is a lot better

[educatedcockroach]

@MegaSlash86 Tenuous grasp on English and watches Naruto faithfully....I don't think I should've bothered responding to him. What do you think?

[MrAoiSekai]

@educatedcockroach I agree. Although I like the cover itself better, Maiden are still the better band.

[error404error404]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 "Dragonforce is shit" does not mean "I dislike that this band's song is so famous from this game"

[error404error404]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 Speed is not quality dipshit, why do you think people hate Dragonforce?

[FrenchGuitarist59]

Only Maiden can do Maiden.

[FrenchGuitarist59]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 only a daef person could say that...

[NevermoreFU]

@NARUTOxSHIPPUDEN66 um, no

[modernepic86]

OHHHHHH SHOLA AMEOBI!!!! OH SHOLA AMEOBBI!! YOU PUT YOUR LEFT LEG IN, YOUR LEFT LEG OUT, IN OUT IN OUT SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT, YOU DO THE AMEOBI AND TURN AROUND! AND THATS WHAT ITS ALL AAAAAAAAABBBBBOOOOUUUUTTTT!!! WWWHHHHOOOAAAA SSHOLA AMEOBI!!!

[kyatzz]

it's not a battle between which one is better it's just a matter of personal oppinion i am most definitly a Maiden fan and i love both versions and Sonata Arctica did not ruin or simply copy the song they have put a completely new twist to it and they did a damn good job on that

[Metalmanmania357]

I have never heard of this band but I have researched them a bit after finding them here on youtube doing a power metal search. I am truly impressed! I am so disgusted with the drop C guitars and shitty growling vocals in mainstream metal these days. This ROCKS

[fistpounder]

As much as I like Sonata Arctica...not keen on this cover? :S

Great band though :)

[brandtza]

Eh, I like Sonata Artica, I like Iron Maiden. I don't like the cover. Sorry, I preferred Iron Maidens Version.

[PureEbil1]

I like this one better than the original. it just seems like they put more into it.

[victoraml]

Ficou legal , mas Bruce e Maiden , não tem como nada fica melhor , ! prefiro a original !

[plangentmusic]

This is missing the drive of the original -- which is so much of what it is.

[justhuman1235]

i must say,even though Iron Maiden is my all time favourite band,this cover is amazing,i think that most of bands out there that are more famous than this band cant do a maiden cover better than Sonata Actica.But no matter how cover is great,it cant beat the original,but stil,awsome cover.

[FedeStudebaker]

este tema esta mejor que el original y es muy dificil lograrlo glorioso

[caldera11]

Who gives a crap who made a "better version", this is clearly a cover made by sonata arctica of Iron Maiden, clearly being Sonata Arctica's showing of respect for such a famous band. It is a great modification of the song to fit how their band plays, and I think they did a great job. There is not need to compare this song to the original because it is not trying to beat out Iron Maiden's song, it is trying to let people know how great Maiden is. We're all brothers in metal, no need for this crap

[informatix666]

i think this is the BEST cover of Iron Maiden!!!

Up the Irons!!!

[TrunkMonkey3000]

Sonata Arctica's version all the way... But good work Iron Maiden with some kick - ass songs

[Heldarion]

Sonata Arctica cover kicks Maidens version's ass around the clock, because the speed is slightly higher and better and Tony doesn't make random (=crappy) variations on the tune while singing.

[Jonsk12394]

@Heldarion - You obviously don't realize how good of a singer Bruce Dickinson is. I honestly don't care that you think this version is better, but in my opinion The original is much better.

[endlessmisery15]

@Heldarion i've been re-listening to Maiden and doesn't do that

[losferword]

no offense, but the song started out cool, but then it got ruined at the chorus. Up The Irons!!! Maiden from here to eternity

[PatrickMUFC]

I miss Bruce Dickinson's voice there...

[NinjaDragonsrule]

Good cover.

Also nice for a band to recognising other Maiden songs other than Number of the beast and The Trooper.

If you're gonna die you're gonna die.

[DarkCurro]

greko, la cancion no es suya tu mismo lo as dixo, es d Iron Maiden osea q...

[jnefrh]

I LOVE THIS VERSION!<333

Iron maidens version is booooriiing! --__--""

[badreligion1231]

You are an idiot .

[fondasvas]

Maiden's version is classic and wonderful. This one is indeed one of the *few* cover songs that deserve to be listened to more than once. Sonata Artica is very cool!

[Kalaklukko]

I love Maiden, but I always thought the original version was not one of their better songs. I'd rather not have bands touch Maiden, but this cover is well done.

[Aarisure]

thats an awesome cover :O

[billybobmacguyver]

The vocals kill it, but otherwise it is a very good cover.

[Sp1riTCrusheR]

the original version is much better

[Erick21550]

NO, THIS IS MUCH BETTER

[maidenfer05]

maiden version is 10000000000 times beter the drums in this one are terrible

[Erick21550]

@maidenfer05 no, you sucks

[dartzu]

@maidenfer05 Do it better and whine after that

[endlessmisery15]

@maidenfer05 its no Maiden, but that doesn't make it any less epic

[Rynegirl]

It's better than the original version,I think...

[fondasvas]

the solos in the original version and the color of Bruce's voice is better. But I like the small touches in the vocals and the faster rythm.. this is one of the few cover songs that I like in general

[plangentmusic]

Not quite.

[JoJim911]

i think its bettr then maidens version

[nintendouglas]

I love when Sonata Arctica puts their own style into their covers. Up the Irons and SA fans!

[Z0tteltier]

cant even recognize it as Die with your boots on of Iron Maiden. Poor cover but I find Sonata Arctica a great band. Saw them live in Wacken '08, they rock!

[korre18]

It is a cover track of Iron Maiden with Die with Your Boots on.

[metalmusiking]

keep your stupid thoughts to yourself.

[Hikarufan2]

It looks like they can cover fucking jingle bells and it is still the best i've heard. I love SA! And I love this cover =D

[ChronosTheDemon]

A great band covering for another great band.

Cant say much else, i love sonata in all they do and all of their albums rock.

and iron maiden is a classic band that has yet to go out of style. both compliment each other very well. I dont see what the fuss is about just enjoy the music :D

[PressHere94]

Frickin awsome.. This is like the best of the best

[matvrak999]

It's more melody in this song/vocal voice... So I think this cover is better then the orginal but of course generally Iron Maiden leads the race!

[korre18]

It is a cover track of Iron Maiden: Die with your Boots on. But is a good song. I mean its a better version than Iron Maiden's.

[DantesInfeno]

I don't think It's better than the original, but it's a hell of a lot better than most covers of their songs.

[metalbojuan]

@DantesInfeno this is better because bass guitar play lower notes in bass range

[mihirmaiden18]

i like this band and i also like iron maiden. but i must say both this guy and bruce dickinson both offer different takes on this song vocally

[LuIsDiEgO05]

iron maiden es mejor en todo sentido, pero este cover es excelente

[sanderFS]

the original is of course better but this is an amazing cover. both iron maiden and sonata rock!!

[RafaTrooper1992]

UP THE IRONS!!! IRON MAIDEN FOREVER

[Vincent745]

whoever thumbed down this very excellent sir is a pathetic loser. sonata arctica covered this song from iron maiden. pay this good sir his respects, cunts.

[RafaTrooper1992]

Why say me this?? I only said UP THE IRONS!!

[Vincent745]

because people thumbed you down, bro. i was sticking up for iron maiden and what you said.

[RafaTrooper1992]

ooh i didn't see the thumbed down bro, I said Up the Irons 'cause Iron Maiden is my favourite band but this cover is perfect i like this cover more than the original

[brucejr20]

Bruces voice is way better than sonata articas Vocalist, bruce has more powerful voice ..THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS WAY BETTER!!

UP THE IRONS!!

[ShamanFenix]

me gusta mas el cover ke el original ^^!!! aguante sonata!!!!!

[Cyberwolv]

Personally, I'm more into the original, but the vocal harmony in the chorus in this version SMOKE the original!!!

[godofpowermetal]

sonata artica is the best!!!!!!!!!!

[metalmusiking]

awesome song!!!

[Replica1888]

im a huge iron maiden fan and listen to them since im 12 years old .. but this band makes this song better as them..but the iron maiden version is very old! if they make a remake maybe ist would be better but i like the voice of this singer more than bruce voice

[goatrek]

all Iron Maiden fanboys make me fucking sad. and cut this BS " a cover can never be better than original" THATS NOT logic... it can never be ehm original but sure as hell better its just a question of taste >.> I think iron maiden rox teh sox!!! but still think sonatas version owns irons original!

[AcesHiigh]

Bruces voice is way better than sonata articas Vocalist, bruce has more powerful voice

[MahomeD34]

I personally like Sonata's version better. It has way more power. This sing is suprsingly hard for Bruce to sign. Dont no why, since Bruce is the UBER singer in the world. Still when he sings the chorus it just doesnt seem natural.

[Kiljukyo]

Honestly it's not as good as Iron Maiden's version, but then again a cover never stands up to the original...But it is definately better than anything else on (Tribute to the Beast), Honestly I think it's a great cover.

[Hirvi27]

Sonata made great cover but i still prefer maiden. Great song!

[DraculVaDomni]

dude... about your description of the video.. it`s IRON MAIDEN COVER ;) thx for posting it anyway

[Jaackel]

if you honestly wasted your time to look for this video and say anything other than praise for a song well done then you fail at life,i dont see you making music,wheres your record label?

[lonelyseas]

I think its hardly crap, its far better than most of the shit coming from america today. Also what people seem to do is say "well its not maiden so it must be shit", theres nothing crap about it, they played all the notes fine, kakko sang it in key, and tomy kept the beat fine. Overal a sound cover, just coz you dont like it doesnt make it crap

[Mihogan]

i totally agree. i am a huge maiden fan, but never heard of this band, but that doesnt mean its a bad cover. it sounds pretty good actually

[Neenjah12]

Im up With redhed31, i like the sound of the music, ofc it's nothing without bruce :)

[saghistick]

so good...sonata is one of my favourite...but maiden is the original

[Yancey05]

Iron Maiden's is pure genius. This is just a cheap knock off.

[TheKruskinator]

Because bands never do tributes to other bands.

EVER.

[hardrocker90]

its called a cover you dumbshit...

[Yancey05]

It's funny you would use the word shit. Because that's all this pathetic version adds up to.

[redhed31]

Better than the Iron Maiden version.

Shup Complaining

[Gergaloth]

liking this song makes me better than all of you cuz you all suck anyways so its kinda by default. sonata arctica kicks maidens ass so you fanboys can go kill yourselves because you know you suck and nobody really likes you,they just feel sorry for your maiden loving ass

[Yancey05]

Maybe in your twisted world. In my world, the real world, Maiden is WAY better than this CRAP.

[penuz69]

I think its hardly crap, its far better than most of the shit coming from america today. Also what people seem to do is say "well its not maiden so it must be shit", theres nothing crap about it, they played all the notes fine, kakko sang it in key, and tomy kept the beat fine. Overal a sound cover, just coz you dont like it doesnt make it crap

[Yancey05]

I don't like it because I don't like the vocals or anything else that has to do with this song. I greatly prefer Iron Maiden's version instead.

[Jaackel]

then why go looking for the video

[Yancey05]

If you don't like Iron Maiden, why is the "Number of the Beast" video in your favorites? Hypocrite.

[Yancey05]

UP THE IRONS.

[BassMasterValenteen]

great cover the i way i look at t could be much worse, i have to admit it's not very good live when maiden play it i would like to see sonata do it live

[DeViLPaNiCs]

if U can cover it better then send me to listen to it !!yr loosing the meaning of this they cover it better than maiden and u know why??? cz they change it with their style and that's the beauty of this:) am a huge fan of maiden but i admire sonata for the try they did great!!! who r u to judge this song they took a non hit song of maidens and now is a hit song for sonata so again sonata is the winner of this cover so stop be so BAD and enjoy it cz a lot of people luth with yr comments! HAILL!!!

[Yancey05]

This version sounds way too American Idol. It would also be good if you're singing drunk at a karaoke bar.

[ThomaTo66]

I would rather eat horse shit for a week than listen this shit ever again!

VITTU TÄÄ ON PASKA PUHUMATTAKAAN ITSE BÄNDISTÄ(sonata siis)

[CutterM]

Real mature there, jackass.

Miksi vitussa sitten kommentoit?

[Plaustic]

Kuuntelinpa tuossa teirän "muuusiikkiiiaaa"..

Oli muuten aika persiistä ja todella aloittelija meininkiä jos suoraan puhutaan..

Ja kaveri vielä kehtaa mainita SA:n hivenen huonossa kuvassa.. Häpeä hyvä mies!!!

[Lautska]

This is good but Iron Maiden's is better \o/

[Tu0mazz]

awfull version, fuck with this sonata-version. Iron Maiden is the only one. Im from Finland, as like Sonata, but still.

[coraleclipse]

lol it's not a sonata arctica song its a iron maiden song, sonata arctica just covered it... and an awesome job they did I love both bands!

[HobbitNoOb16]

this song pwns!!!!!!!!!!!

[fistsoffire88]

My favorite Sonata song as of recent :)

[FunkyBah]

very nice song ;] I love it
