Flash Of The Blade Avenged Sevenfold Live in The LBC & Diamonds In The Rough

[victorcouto93]

fucking great !!!how old is your brother?

[Bitches907]

I like Avenged sevenfold better than iron maiden. Sounds way better too.

[GuitarsRgood]

i actually had never listened to Iron Maiden's original of this song until today. but even from the first time listening to A7X's cover, i was thinking that this sounds very similar to Iron Maiden. they did a great job with this cover

[x2paf4fi]

I really like Iron Maiden, but I would be very happy if they make a Megadeth cover.

\../ THUMBS UP FOR MEGADETH \../

[LegitNoobCatcher]

One man, and his honor <3

[loyddennington7]

Best cover EVER

[tektahr]

Guys if we hate the new stuff then we will be like those old farts who hate everything. Stuff comes and goes, we just need to ride with it and enjoy. LONG LIVE THE ROCK!

[Camishify]

This is GOLD

[skelatorus]

I absolutely adore Iron Maiden, and I've really tried to dislike A7X, but I can't! They're really growing on me and this is an excellent cover of Flash of the blade! You can tell Maiden are a big influence on A7X.

[KingShruikan]

Great cover, I love avenged. But maiden is the model metal band. A7x did a great job

[xXPunkShitXx]

pretty good cover but I'm not gonna lie, the chorus kinda sounds gay... even tho it's not easy to hit the high notes.

[atenorio18]

@operationmoyda So what if he can't? At least he knows his limits and doesn't sound shitty singing this. Fuck off asshole

[rockstar5146]

To bad they can't put this song on iTunes

[avengedtilidie]

avenged sevenfold has the balls to make covers and they are really good covers, so if ur gonna trash them for making covers why dont u make one better before u start talking ur trash

[PandaLmao]

hmmm I like the Iron Maiden and Rhapsody version best I'm no saying this song is bad or anything it just doesn't give me the same feeling that I have with the other 2 versions

[operationmoyda]

m shadows can't hit the high note in the chorus. fail

[Gurkmassa]

@operationmoyda Is he even trying to hit the high note? -.-

[avengedtilidie]

@operationmoyda lets see u hit the high note jackass

[halorazer1]

@Bludwolf999

You have no right to come in here and start talking shit. I like those bands, including the ones you listed as old, but as soon as you start calling our bands terrible, I swear to god, I will start talk shit as well.

[asbbcsuisvdc]

I love The rev voice !

[SKYERAE0730]

U died as u lived in the flash of the blade

[Kbennettj]

Fuckin amazing song, and a very honorable cover. Great job.

[Xnon89123456]

This song makes the best alarm in the mornings

[666heavymetalkid]

iron maiden song but metal version :)

[LordBeefrius]

@666heavymetalkid

Did you just imply that Maiden weren't metal? Careful where you tread.

[FourPie]

@666heavymetalkid Iron Maiden is more metal then your mind will ever understand.

[dabas32]

@FourPie Damn Straight. =)

[n110d0]

I hate idiots that believe that everything new sucks :) Avenged Sevenfold is a great band that are the successor to those legends such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth and slayer :) i love all of those bands and stop insulting new metal, because it's much better than what you can think :) however, nothing beats the old...

[bludwulf999]

@n110d0 i think new metallica & new a7x sucks,but iron maiden,slayer,and megadeth are fucking old and still KICK ASS

[kidddfight]

@n110d0 plus synister gates got to being the current 2nd fastest guitarist ;p. xD

[94LarsUlrich]

A7x Is Great but Iron Maiden Are The Masters Of Metal ...

[LeoVendettaGuitar]

This is a good version but Maiden's IS EPIC.

[cougarfingers7]

haha they got the rev drunk and had him sing the high parts

[MrReed1991]

This song was recorded as part of an iron maiden tribute CD.... Metallica and other bands also covered iron maiden songs for this CD

[agentcamo]

well I like that they didn't pick a bigger Maiden song that everyone else covers

[tylercrill]

Plagerising**

[TDS555666]

@tylercrill dude, no they dont. My buddy's cousin is Andy Sixx. he says you dont need any documants

[SynGatesLifer]

@TDS555666 Andy Sixx is a terrible musician. So are the rest of those dumb fucks in Black Veil Brides. They are terrible, they can't make their own music let alone PLAY. Andy has the voice of a dying pig.

[infamous6925]

@SynGatesLifer Black Veil Brides are awesome but no where close to Maiden Or A7X

[xcardboardbox]

@SynGatesLifer Fucking true that.

[tylercrill]

I hope all u know they need documents to cover a song other wise it'd b plater sing so iron maiden let a7x do this n ilove both versions

[PugRunBand]

@nathanielisaboss It's funny because they're not emo at ALL

that's like saying Pantera was gothic.

[vivirty]

I think Iron maiden is proud

This cover Kicked my ass

[A7x2242]

How can you not like this?????

[megadoomed100]

too hard for they :D

[salot19]

to pidiksan! fuck avenged cover behemoth

[TholomewPlague28]

Shads nailed it. Period.

[king00jake]

its nice to start listening to the best band ever. remmeber the revs death is coming up everyone

[au17100]

Nice

[nanoload]

Not bad at all, yet the vocals are not so good, sounds kinda weird.. On the other hand, it's impossible to try and imitate the pure awesomeness of Bruce, so I can understand.

[chaingang338]

honestly if you dont like this version then you're a stubborn asshole. i love iron maiden and Avenged Sevenfold..even i think that the cover is really close to the original, if you think its horrible its because you wont accept that a band you dont like did an amazing cover of a song and you wont admit it...now quit bitching and listen to the music

[badstormtroopa]

@chaingang338 Too bad it isnt a good cover at all.

[220warfrost]

@badstormtroopa Lol actually it is, no need to hate, you can leave.

[badstormtroopa]

@220warfrost Nope, its really bad. Why did they make the chorus sound like it was sung by a lesbian orchestra?

[chaingang338]

@badstormtroopa haha bitch

[badstormtroopa]

@chaingang338 I know! Avenged Sevenfold are bitches! High five man!

[chaingang338]

@badstormtroopa you're a fucking retard for giving a video views that you dont even like hhaahah...admit it you like the cover :)

[badstormtroopa]

@chaingang338 Im just astounded people come here to listen to this on purpose. It sounds like a claw scraping a chalk board.

[chaingang338]

@badstormtroopa like you? and since this is a cover and sounds very close to iron maiden you just insulted iron maiden..good job asshole

[badstormtroopa]

@chaingang338 You insult iron maiden by likeing this. It sounds awful, many iron maiden fans agree. Terrible band, Terrible cover, terrible everything.

[chaingang338]

@badstormtroopa again you fail to make sence lol...and by the way what do you think iron maiden thinks of this cover...it's funny that you can't answer that question because you're not them haha

[badstormtroopa]

@chaingang338 I could answer that question. Based on bands iron maiden has toured with in the past, like Dream Theater, Megadeth. They obviously think this Nu metal shit fucking sucks. Bruce dickinson would call this a disgrace to his singing and his band.

[Anic27]

@badstormtroopa Iron Maiden love this cover.

[badstormtroopa]

@Anic27 when did they say this?

[iwasfredfredburger67]

@badstormtroopa Terrible, just like the sex with your mom last night.

[badstormtroopa]

@iwasfredfredburger67 You get what you pay for, Do you want a refund or something?

[iwasfredfredburger67]

@badstormtroopa I would love a refund.

[victorcouto93]

@badstormtroopa i like a7x...but iron maiden...IS MY RELIGION !!! UP THE IRONS !!!give support for the new bands...but iron maiden is LEGEND

[Tacoskittles]

@victorcouto93 DOnt forget MEGADETH!



[kidddfight]

@victorcouto93 ova here wid me and my step brother.... Metallica xD... he can play flawless any song by them

[hatedpork]

AMAZING SHIT .

[badstormtroopa]

So fucking terrible.

[RyuSeiko]

@badstormtroopa Overreaction.

[1979audiman]

kick ass avenged. Damn Maiden would be proud. MISS the rev

[123Problemz]

i like the a7x cover way better then maidens lol

[GekeyVocals]

Not that I think they did a bad job with this, because they didn't, but I prefer Rhapsody of Fire's cover of this song.

[paradoxiality]

I first listened to the song by A7x, and I couldn't help but think to myself "This sounds so much like Iron Maiden.. Too much like Iron Maiden." turns out it's a cover! Really good song!

[GammaGuitar93]

very very nice cover

[FiveFingerSevenfold]

@DRIThrashZone please go kill yourself

[dayanesixx]

 fodasticooooo

[RustyWaffle]

Those vocals... D:

[omnibus360]

Incase you didnt know this is an Iron Maiden maiden song, this is just a cover

[haploj]

ooops i did play to hard so 64 ppl hit the wrong button sorry =S

[FACTAWAVES]

IRON MAIDEN

[ricardogunnz]

@FACTAWAVES A7X -.-

[howdoishotmudkip]

Who Could dislike Flash of The Blade? Or A7X

-The Howdoishotmudkip Mudkip

[TCrochesterskater]

i think its funny some people dnt no that this isnt thier orignal song? i like this version better faster tempo dnt get me wrong i like maiden alot but they r slow tempoed in this song

[todososnomesjahtinha]

Ok, cool version. But Iron is Iron, UP THE IRONS!!!

[smithdsmit]

his vocals remind me of Grahm Bonnet from Rainbow and Alcatazz

[TehHawksClan]

@dino17011 its iron maiden idiots say its stolen, its inspiration :D

[TehHawksClan]

/watch?v=VxHpxbtiWIg&feature=r­elated go to it to dislike it or do not go to it because this bitch doesn't deserve views

[TehHawksClan]

it says subscribe for more a7x but isnt this not their song?

[KoNIxification]

i love this song

[GrowASpinosaurus]

@DRIThrashZone Lol, you make me giggle. Get out of here, dumbass. We don't like your kind.

[abcde6409]

i prefer the bruce's voice and the maiden , but i love a7x too, cool version,but maiden is maiden my friends

[goheklikaplunco]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan, I've seen them in concert 3 times, once in a small ass venue when they weren't even popular, and it makes me happy to see them playing larger venues, they deserve it. However, that being said, this is a cover to Iron Maiden, THE greatest metal band of all time! And while it's a great cover, and one of the few bands who could ever properly cover a Maiden song, it still does not compare to the original, no metal band can ever match Iron Maiden

[chony93]

@goheklikaplunco And thats your own opinion, i dont think Iron Maiden is the greatest and i think this cover is pretty awesome, but i dont need to compare, for me these are different songs. When a band makes a cover is to make tribute to the bands they used to hear, obviously a7x admire Iron Maiden and they decided to make a cover to show them how much they admire them, its not like "oh i made a cover of your song to be better than you". This still an opinion, and sry for my english.

[Shortkiiid]

I want to use 2:17 as like some sort of intro for when i start making videos

[AvengedfoREVer9000]

thanks....somehow hearing it from u makes me feel awesome

[shadows0714]

Fuck haters!!!!  A7X baby

[AvengedfoREVer9000]

@DRIThrashZone GAY! f*** DRIThrashZone

[xboxleaderboards]

10 people didnt see the FLASH OF THE BLADE and was murdered brutally

[TheBam47]

it sounds funny to hear m. shadows sing like this lol, but this is not a bad cover

[micky4eva100]

@TheBam47 why does it sound funny? i think it sounds awsome he has an amazing voice

[TheBam47]

@micky4eva100 i find it funny because hear doesn't normally sing this style, and i don't think his voice really fits with it

[Sarge0411]

Written by Gods; Perfected by Rebels

[shadows0714]

I hate how people have NO FUCKING TASTE about music when you say this sucks, why don't you go fucking listen to your softy bullshit bands and save the breath for someone who actually deserves it.you are just jealous that they made a life of themselves and you didn't, and I'm pretty fucking sure that they don't give a shit about what you have to say especially when they sell out almost every place they play at, so that should tell you something dumb twats! Yes it struck me because I happen to kn

[backspacebrandon]

WHAT IS THIS SHIT!!!!?!?!!?! THIS GUYS SINGS LIKE SHIT!!

[AvengedSevenfold9000]

@backspacebrandon 

[AvengedSevenfold9000]

Sick as SHIT and nice username account

[ThatCatstabber]

@AvengedSevenfold9000 It's almost over 9000

[AvengedSevenfold9000]

@ThatCatstabber Lls Vageta seriously needs some anger manage ment classesits awkward that I'm watchim Dragom Ball Z

[ThatCatstabber]

@AvengedSevenfold9000 Though....Your name isn't that bad either...

[AvengedSevenfold9000]

@ThatCatstabber Thanks I thought just Avenged Sevenfold was boring so I decided to add 9000 at the end. Ur name catches peoples attention in a funny way.

[AvengedfoREVer9000]

@AvengedSevenfold9000 due my name is soo close to yours XD

[AvengedSevenfold9000]

@AvengedfoREVer9000 lol No bull man but I like ur username a lil better cause it has the rev in it

[saberdrummer12]

I didn't originally know this was an Iron Maiden song, I thought it was just a scrapped song for the self-titled album, like all the other songs on Diamonds in the Rough. I'm not even that big of a fan of Iron Maiden to be honest, but I love Avenged Sevenfold, and that's why I'm here today.

[bryankj756]

@saberdrummer12

dude.... you need educated in IRON MAIDEN 101 SON

[A7Xdude52]

goddamn people quit fighting like kids...im 14 and more mature then most of you....its music now shut the fuck up and listen to it or get the fuck off the videos.....half of you do nothing but sit and argue,its pointless get the fuck off the computer and go outside.

[TheBranchingmouse]

@A7Xdude52 ha you stole that

[ELGhillie]

@A7Xdude52 give out your fucking age real smart... are you planning to get raped by a 40-year-old child molester?

[EmmaMaidenfan]

I love A7X And i !LOVE! Maiden...This couldn't be better! :D

[EvilN00ber]

lol why does the picture keep moving over time XD

[virginboy92]

@EvilN00ber iron maiden makes u high; fuck yeah !!

[EvilN00ber]

@virginboy92 uh, yeah i suppose. psst, you're on the wrong vid XD welcome to A7X's version

[TehHawksClan]

@EvilN00ber so it isnt just me?

[EvilN00ber]

@TehHawksClan na.. i mean you can evenn see it moving without skipping parts, just watch carefully and you'll see the v touching the edge and then the e and then the n and so on XD

[skepsi1992]

@EvilN00ber

Badass trippy effect to look at whilst stoned of one's ass

[EvilN00ber]

@skepsi1992 lol like those a7x haters' asses?? XD

[skepsi1992]

@EvilN00ber

You must be way ahead of me, I didn't understand that, lucky bastard.

[EvilN00ber]

@skepsi1992 lol not, but to be honest i didn't fully get ur previous cmment as well XD hhaha my reply.. i guess it didn't really make sense.. anyway both a7x & iron maiden are rly good bands they don't deserve to be dissed :D

[skepsi1992]

@EvilN00ber

Definitely. They're both extremely talented and the should be respected because of it, whether someone likes them or not.

[EvilN00ber]

@skepsi1992 yeah man what stallionduckfoREVer said was soo right :D

[skepsi1992]

@EvilN00ber Indeed

[3MinuteWarning90]

@EvilN00ber Why not?

[EvilN00ber]

@3MinuteWarning90 na i dont know how he made this vid, but some other songs with an album art for the whole time viewed on youtube.. they stay still. anyway, it's kinda funny, just curious XD

[stallionduckfoREVer]

hating on a famous metal band is stupid, because anyone can make a popular pop song (look at Rebecca Black) but it takes real skill to be a famous metal band so stop wasting your time hating on a band that obviously has amazing skill

[speedysnorlax]

@stallionduckfoREVer

Popularity =/= skill

skill =/= good music (bad songwriting)

Also, personally I don't like the vocalist, he just removed all the soul from the song.

[lronmaidenRgods]

@syngates115 yeah, because you comment was posted 1 day ago..

[lronmaidenRgods]

@syngates115 right now, because you comment is 1 day ago, btw a7x blows cock

[lronmaidenRgods]

@syngates115 you mad? haha

[lronmaidenRgods]

lol'd The chorus is shit in this one

[lronmaidenRgods]

lol, icant hear the guitar

[TCrochesterskater]

i like this version better in my opion because its faster tempoed

[raphater2000]

I love both Iron Maiden AND Avenged Sevenfold. Cover songs aren't supposed to be better than the originals anyways.

[Palffy3314]

Also, come on people. Avenged is my favorite band too...but any comment talking shit about Iron Maiden is garbage. Without Maiden, there wouldn't be an Avenged Sevenfold. Have some fucking respect for one of the pioneers of metal.

[Deondrakat]

I don't know what it is about Avengend Sevenfold, but they do justice to some of the most inspiring lyrics. Iron Maiden is godly, but something about the voice in this version just sets it apart. The vocals are what really make this song a gem.

[Bluefire4852]

if you dont like the song then leave it to the fans we dont talk shit to other peoples band.So stop being a troll

[FUCKavengedcockifold]

lol, a7x fans are saying that this is better? i really dont get it, a7x cant make a good song like this never will be good as an oldschool metal band that changed the world, typical a7x fan: A7x IS BEST EVAAR MAIDEN SUCK! THE REV IS BETTER HE WAS THe GREATEST Drummah evaarr, ta7x fans are crybabies that dont accept the truth.also the rhapsody of fire version is much better than this garbage, this is the worst cover of this song..

[hydralisk3313]

@FUCKavengedcockifold trolololololololololo!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[Palffy3314]

@FUCKavengedcockifold I can agree that this cover is nowhere near as good as IM's, but I think you are completely missing the point of making a cover song...to pay a tribute to a band you grew up loving while adding your own style to it. This shouldn't sound like Iron Maiden. This should sound like Avenged Sevenfold covering an Iron Maiden song, and it does...but hey, why am I explaining this to you? Look at your screen name, grow up dude. There is more to life than trolling Youtube...

[FUCKavengedcockifold]

this cover sucks dick, the chorus is lame in this one.

[9krug9ger9]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

that vocals never can sing one dickinson song, because is a limited voice good only to boys and girls under 15.

[Palffy3314]

@9krug9ger9 ...and the person I'm replying to will never have good grammar skills because they never graduated the 1st grade.

[9krug9ger9]

@Palffy3314 you are wrong, i'm brazilian and the language of my country is portuguese i never study in a school of english, i learn listen heavy metal all my life, and I know when one guy can sing a heavy metal sng, but only the betters can sing dickinson, the little boy of a7x is can't, he know have technique to sing that, and the most important HE DON'T HAVE VOICE TO SING TRADITIONAL HEAVY METAL...

[Palffy3314]

@9krug9ger9 Alright, well then I apologize about my comment. You have pretty good English for never studying it...but understand that it looks stupid to anyone who speaks English when someone tries insulting someone else, when they can't spell....and you are wrong about M. Shadows not having a "traditional metal voice." There is no such thing. Metal isn't about following any sort of guidelines, you don't have to hit high pitched notes to be a good singer.

[Palffy3314]

@9krug9ger9 ...and also, I never said M. Shadows sings this song great, because his vocal abilities are a completely different style...but he still does alright, because it's an Iron Maiden cover by Avenged Sevenfold, meaning Avenged should make it sound like themselves, not Iron Maiden. I can tell this debate isn't going to go anywhere though, cause I can see you're the type of person who always has to be right. So if it makes you feel better, you win the internet. Congratulations!

[panchojalupa]

Metal bands don't need other metal bands to write their shit for them. Avenged heavenfold should go back to the dance club. MAIDEN FOREVER

[MetallicaFanOne7]

@panchojalupa Realy stupid comment, every bands cover other people's song, even Iron Maiden, so shut up and enjoy the music.

A7x rules

UP THE IRONS

[FUCKavengedcockifold]

SO THE REV IS DEAD , GOOD WE WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN

[Thechosen1Gaming]

@FUCKavengedcockifold You suck Bitch, We see him on pictures, in videos, and keep him alive. So you just got pwned!!!

[A7xAllThatRemains]

@FUCKavengedcockifold  If you seriously think you're cool for "trolling" someone who has passed away, you are a fucking idiot. Also, Legends (Like James Owen Sullivan) never die. They stay alive in the hearts of the fans who know what good music is.

[Xcel271]

@FUCKavengedcockifold Im here with all of the other people who are sad that the rev died and we kind of out number you nine million to one, so if you thing you can make an impression on a SINGLE ONE of us to change the way we think of possibly the best band in the world, then you've got some problems.

[Laparka62]

Damn, people who prefer a cove over an original needs to get shot ASAP.

Apart from that the cover is pretty good apart from the backing vocals which sounds a like woman-ish.

Strange that they covered such an obscure Maiden song...

[Palffy3314]

@Laparka62 Yep. So people shouldn't prefer Aerosmith's cover of The Beatles' "Come Together," Guns n Roses cover of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," or any song Iron Maiden or Metallica have covered? I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you. There have been plenty of bands who have taken a song already done and made it much better, and people are allowed to have their own opinions...but do I think Avenged Sevenfold's cover of "Flash of the Blade" is better? Hell no, and Avenged is my favorite band.

[mmmmmYELLO]

a7x is one of the last living metal bands, more metal needs to be discovered! i dont want to live in the generation where metal dies, we need to kill rap, its dumbing people down
