  • Machinehead are amazing at doing cover's thump's up if you agree.

  • 1000 times better than the crappy cover Cradle of Filth did of this tune. This version is perfect from vocals to music. Up The Irons, respect to Machine Head.

  • if anyone has the full album, please agree that this is the best track on it!

  • i saw these guys do this cover in Milwaukee while opening for Megadeth, who they ended up stealing the show from. The thing that really sets these guys apart is that they really seem to have a great time playing onstage, and that is really awesome.

  • @nightrain789 DUDE! I WAS AT THAT SHOW TOO! It was nuts. when they announced they were playing a maiden song then went into this. HOLY SHIT IT WAS LOUD. Their whole performance was great, but them playing this song may upshown megadeth. And I went to see Megadeth:P

  • I'm normally skeptical of maiden covers but this is pretty good. Still the vocalist has nothing on Bruce Dickinson.

  • shit hot thanks for the upload

  • Favorite !

  • Chimba de tema.... translation/ hell of a song

  • best tribute ever.. glory to maiden.. glory to machine head... glory to metal...

  • Of all the metal bands I've seen live, Machine Head is the BEST live performance hands down. And they fuckin re-invented this song. The cover is epic! Much better than Iron Maidens version. Sorry old schoolers....

  • @ccalxr YEAAAAAH finally some guy that is fucking down to earth when it comes to Iron Maiden!!!!!!

  • @ccalxr Dude true fact. its not possible for a cover of a Iron Maiden song to be better then the original im sorry to say.

  • genial wn!!!

    buen cover ami no m gusta el estilo de estos cabros

    pero meo cover wn!

    saludos

    up the irons!!

  • awesome cover...metal rocks

  • @ducatibolzer ahahaha metal rocks? LOL the best...

  • 5 people got hung at the gallow's

  • I admit this is a pretty wicked cover as much as it is a sacred song to me via Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson singing it.

  • nice video, love machine fucking head

  • I listened to all the other covers, I still say this is the best one yet.

  • good cover, but never as good as maiden's of course :)

  • I need this for my fucking mp3 player, good heavens

  • puts cradle of filts to shame cradle of filths version was um Filth

  • ive seen machine head twice live and they r amazing they blew the headlining bands away they played this cover and it was so memorable. the blackening is one of if not the best modern metal albums ever made.

  • anyone who likes cradle of filths version over this one is a fucking idiot

  • @chivo0980 amen

  • Vi ste goveda obicna...

  • MAIDEN THRAAAAASH COVER!!

  • I liked this cover, but in all honesty I liked Cradle's more. Not for any reason aside from that theirs takes a faster and more energetic approach to the song while still keeping it's overall feel at heart.

    What it boils down to is that Hallowed be thy name is a fuckin' awesome song, and a song that great takes alot to ruin. In the end though just like what you like, don't apologize for what your ear drums enjoy. :)

  • awesome .. rocks out the shit out of me :)

  • The best cover of this song by far is Iced Earths, no one has covered it nearly as well as they did. PERIOD, it comes close to the original and that is rare

  • @lucretia11

    well, no.

    thats just your opinion.

    doesn't mean you're right.

  • flynn is the god of vocals

  • @Frejdyr flyynns vocals were good at the first albusm that i am sure you havent ever heard before... SO CHECK OUT THE FIRST ALBUMS TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE by yourself..

  • @makilkail

    I haven't heard before... loooool I know every album of machine head.

  • idk why everyone says theres is better than Cradle's I think Iron Maidens music sounds the best and Dani Filths Vocals sound the best and Im not even a big fan of black or death metal(they just have a good atmosphere, but I dont think that this is as good as either the origanal or the cradle cover. Not that its bad, I just dont think its better.

  • @6666Pyromaniac6666 i can see both sides of it. the song has an element of black metal which cradle exploited. machine head's is more a direct tribute to iron maiden. i prefer this one because im a massive fan of both MH and IM so for me this and iced earth's cover are better. but cradle have also done an excellent cover as well both bands should be satisfied with their efforts

  • i like the cradle of filth version but this version is so much better

  • i am seeing them later on tonight in ulster hall XD, CANT FUCKING WAIT

  • i agree. the cradle of filth version is shit...his voice is so cheesed

  • WHOA

    just listened to the cradle of filths version....... shows you that good vocals beats stupid screamo

  • Comment removed

  • what about iron maiden? and Black Sabbath? and Motorheard? and Judas Priest? and Led Zepplin? i could name bands from england all night.

  • MACHINE FUCKIN' HEAD!!

    \m/

    Machine Head are like the modern Metallica/Maiden, of course Metallica and Maiden rock! forever!

    the masters of metal

    Metallica

    Maiden

    Machine Head

  • but its like maidens version on speed though, i agree the singing is a little fucked up but the music is fucking intense (cradle version)

  • best fucken cover!

  • @shelovesmusic08 best cover? LISTEN QUTIE... machine head are machine head and maiden are MAIDEN.... machine head are crap the last two albums please do me a favour and listen the FIRST ALBUMS OF MH to see how machine head were at the past... now they FUCKING SUCK

  • @makilkail LMFAO, The Blackening sucks? You must hate music altogether then.

  • @Trauma1105 the blackening is nothing like burn my eyes super charger or burning red whatsoever (which are great albums as are the rest) but it rocks because they have become a very transcendent sound which is by far the best. its no longer why is the government fucked up, why did mommy drink and why did that guy touch my wiener when i was 5 , which are good questions for any self respecting metal head but the blackening is the death of all that and the birth of deep thought MH rocks go die now.

  • @makilkail The Blackening is was one of the best metal albums ever, as good as Burn My Eyes and The More Things Change was, they only could really show anger in their music is. The more emotions that you can evoke in one album the better and Machine Heads last two albums have done this extremely well. Everyone knows that, from the very foundations of metal, that is what it's about.

  • @shelovesmusic08 check out ICED EARTHs cover! great one too!

    

  • @shelovesmusic08

    very good, better than Iced Earth version , I was in a consert sadly i dont remember so mutch of it, it was 5 years ago.

  • Comment removed

  • fuckin way badass cover ;)

  • Good cover of one of the best songs ever

  • @coolcat33333 Why?

  • this is like going to church, iron maiden plays god, pretty much how i spend every sunday. up the god damn irons, bowling green, ohio usa

  • Fucking Beuatifull we portuguese was the first to listen this cover song, Rock in Rio 2008!

    FUCKING AWESOME!

  • where is this from? maiden heaven?

  • @fizensguitar yesss

  • this is an awesome cover to the point that they can go. no one can come to par with maiden but this and iced earth's covers are the closest you can get with maidens own art

  • @sleven978callevra i like cradle of filth's cover the best

  • @sleven978callevra true dat.

  • @sleven978callevra couldn't have said it better

  • lol some pictures are so 90's it hurts my eyes

  • haha true... Bleached spikes

  • I think Iced Earth version is much better

  • I like the machine head version as well bytheway, very good singin of mr. Flynn

  • I think the Cradle of Filth covers are actually really good, but you have to like cradle of filth's style, if you don't lik Cradle you will not like any song of them including the covers

  • cradle sucks. all the singer does on their hallowed be thy name cover is stay on one note. anyone can squeeze their balls and call it sining like CoF does

  • Though I don' like the band that's a fine cover.

  • i agree..not a big MH fan...but this is well done, and I respect that they respect Maiden! The Maiden feel comes through and MH puts their own touch to it! 5 stars IMO

  • probably the best cover, although maidens version blows all of them out of the water.

  • Good job!

  • damn you´re right! Stay heavy and mosh on!

  • I love how on here.....you barely have a single person saying this cover sucks....but on the CoF version.....4/5 of the people are pissed and hating it....evidence right there on how bad the messed this classic up......but Machine Head did this justice!

  • I hate CoF they cover iron maidens songs t oget famous but they do a terrible job at it....MH did a pretty good job at this cover

  • Nobody on earth should cover Iron Maiden....It never sounds right..

  • agreed

  • It's a cover you dick for brains.

  • think of it as a tribute not a theft

  • dude you dont know shit this is a tribute (cover) dont you know anything

  • It's called a cover dumbass. They "Cover" the song to show respect to the artist who originally wrote the song. They take no credit for it at all and are obviously influenced by Maiden, so why the hell WOULD they steal it? You're ignorant; just go kill youself.

  • Damn god...its genius!!!!!!!

  • The vocalist sounds to me a bit too decent in the beginning of this song, but this cover is worlds far more better than Cradle´s version...

  • yeah.. the high squeels in theirs ruined the song.. and those filth fans out there.. dont flame this post, this is an opinion. :O really like this cover, its really close to the original just with MH's little touch :)

  • agree, Cradle of Filth aren't a real band like mhead

  • Don't really like Iron Madien but Machine Heads cover is amazing

  • c'mon

  • I'd say machine heads better, can't get into Iron madien

  • kick assssssss!!!!

  • Fuckin Awesome!!

    1 of the best bands 2day, playin 1 of the BEST SONGS EVA!!

  • i cuncurr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • stupenderrimo!

  • 2:13

  • 3:13 ,lool!

  • sands of time is running low..Why im i crying im not affraid of dieing..MACHINEHEAD KICKS ASS !!

  • By far one of the best metal bands of this generation covering one of the best metal bands of the past generation.....can u say epic?

  • covering one of the best metal band ever.

  • I hnow its blasphemey and in all honesty i think iron maiden is the best band in the world...now my favorite but the best...if that makes any sense but this cover IMO is better than the original

  • robb flynn's sing-shouting machine head vocal style doesn't really fit with the iron maiden riffs imo... this just makes me want to spin 'burn my eyes' again

  • iron maiden will always have the best version, but this is such a great cover. like, really great. not many bands can pull off the epicness of the end of this song except machine head

  • iced earth's cover is the closest i think

  • 2:07, FUCKKKKKK!

    great cover

  • Nobody can top Iron Maiden, but this was really a close one

  • MACHINE HEAD THE BEST!!!

  • best version of the song, beats cradle's by a mile

  • Cradle of Flith killed it in a bad way. They friggin suck

  • maiden 4eva

  • cradle never made it, it was graveworm, seriously

  • yeah, the alleged fear of the dark cover by cradle was actually graveworm, but the hallowed cover by cradle is by cradle. it's on their lovecraft and witch hearts compilation album.

  • good job guys, great cover I know like machine head a little bit now.

  • Fuck. This cover is KILLER. \m/

  • they killed this song? they took a fucking brilliant song and made it better but yeah, killed it, not.

  • they fucking killed this song. They are fucking amazing. Cradle of filth fucked the song up. And machine head just fucking killed it. Fuck yea for Robb He is a fucking god

  • i think you are using the wrong words there... killing it and fuckign it up means the same thing.

  • No killing it means fucking killing it lol They fuck killed it dub back up killed it again and made this lol its a good thing

  • Machine Head rock, they're my favorite band and they did a great job on this cover of an absolute classic!

  • i like everything about the song and band but the vocals at 3:38 kinda take a bit of enjoyment out of the song for me personally

  • i think the part at 3:38 is the best part :s

  • me too, it really gives it the typical machine head sound which is good

  • i thought this version was gonna suck, but....its actually not that bad :D

  • you know what? if anyone can cover Maiden, it's these guys RIGHT FUCKING HERE.

  • is this cover in a different key?

  • Its all great till the screams, they dont fit in a song like this.

  • what are you talking about? the screams are awesome :D

  • its awesome an awesome cover by Machine Head!!

  • Really good cover! Good job Machine Head!

  • One of the very few good covers on the tribute album.

  • Comment removed

  • 2:22 reminds me of bradley and louie dog form sublime lol

  • Great cover & awesome Drummer

  • Dude....really? This cover is fucking epic, and I believe everyone agrees.

  • You should look up the definition of epic, it mean's that it sounds big, ensiferum's token of time or iron maiden's rime of the ancients are examples of epic. Also, that whoa at the end of this song sounds fucking gay.

  • wtf are you talking about? This cover is one of the most awesome things to come out of Kerrang! ever!

  • pretty good, actually. still noone beat bruce's vocals.

  • this is pretty much the same except slower in some parts

    thats pretty much it

  • this is def. the best cover in maiden heaven

  • UP THE IRONS

  • logaliishious13, you suck. Cradle of Filth is awesome.

  • normally i like maiden much more than machine head but i think this song simply great

  • machine fuckin head rocks!!!!!!!

  • cradle of filth sucks ass

  • i agree cradle of filth sucks but machine head = win

  • i agree that machine head = win

  • Then fuckin go listen to em and quit wasting your time... you have gayer shit to do I'm sure.. FUCK YOU

  • hey im just wondering who is this coment for ?

  • loooooool hahaha

  • UP THE IRONS

  • FUCK YOU!!!! iron maiden is great, machine head is also a great band and they play different style and you dont know a thing dumbasss!!!!!

  • its a cover, not a copy, theres no way its supposed to be done,

  • these vocals sound american, no prob but i love bruces british style a lil bit more, this is not epic at all

  • One of the best bands alive!

  • c'mon are you serious? robb flynn sings it perfectly

  • well maybe not poor, but the guitar has no where near as much impact and maidens

  • Wow this is amazing. I didn't know Rob Flynn could hit those notes!
