  • Gross!

  • A brilliant rendition.

  • This chorus really got me.

  • it sucks... -.- IRON MAIDEN  \m/

  • STILL SUX.

  • Fuck everyone.

  • This shows that Maiden don't just write flipping good  metal songs they write flipping good songs. Full stop. Period.

  • They look like meth addicts.

  • WHAT THE FUCK TRASH IS THIS? YOU CUNTS CANT SING FOR SHIT. AND IT,S A FUCKING INSULT TO IRON MAIDEN.

  • @77magenta No it´s a tribute

  • @77magenta shut up

  • @kil1Them1all suck my cock mother fucker.

  • @77magenta Who's insulting who here? =|

  • i dont think these lyrics fit for an akustic cover.. sorry

    the cover of heaven can wait is much better to me.

  • Have you noticed Ronald "Hitler" McDonald on first guy's from left shirt? :D

  • Comment removed

  • Incredible cover, and, now that you can hear them, shows how deep the lyric is.

  • Wow. Amazing. This is version is so sad and emotional.

  • Inte förstöra en sån bra låt . men jag blev fan rörd utav hennes röst

  • ronald mchitler shirt or what is that

  • its totally different and quite frankly soothing...

    UP THE IRONS !!!

  • Weird that Maiden fans say it's a cool cover. I'm not a Maiden fan and I think it's pretty shit. I do love cover versions. Usually. This just doesn't work.

  • @wolfmei5ter I think it works really well if you pay attention to the lyrics and don't just think about the driving chorus. Gives it a sad feeling. It is, after all, about the extermination of a people and their way of life.

  • @TheDahayden errrr ... not to forget that this song is usually listened to by adolescents who are drunk and/or stoned out of their heads ... I don't think that a syrupy crap cover version adds to the original version of the song. more the opposite. it's dreadful!

  • I recognized only the words of the song...otherwise I wouldn't know it's a Maiden cover -.-...they made a great heavy metal song into a mild "gayish" song...

  • Awesome! I'm a Maidenfan since their 1st Album and this is really a good cover :) Thumbs up!

  • I think the irony in the lyrics is better portrayed in the original, but this is still a brilliant artistic re think of that song.

  • its parody or tribute ??

  • @wewerka911 well, it could be both :-) That's what I like about Hellsongs. Their covers are really cool, and give some sort of different interpretation to the songs and lyrics, but at the same time it is also fun to think about the original versions and compare them with the acoustic covers----makes me smile!

  • I'm an Iron Maiden fan and used to define myself as a metaller back in the day, and I love Hellsongs' cover versions. I think I had outgrown the whole "metal rules, everything else is poser music" when I turned 25. Now I'm going on 40 and find myself listening to all kinds of music, from alternative and J-Pop to classical music and reggae. It's only natural that people calm down a little and develop a broader range of interests at some point. Those who hate this cover are only showing their age.

  • If you choose to block out all music other than metal, your an idiot. Put simply. I was and am a metal fan, its just I chose to branch out and like a wider variety of genres. If all you want to do is asslick musicians, wear fading tshirts from 20 year old bands and slowly recede into a cliche then.. well.. i suggest you should look beyond all of this. There is some amazing music around and the majority of it isnt metal. You dont have to fall into a stereotype. Be adaptable. This song is amazing.

  • @Nickoli93 Thumbs up to you, sir!

  • @Renard/Warrior - 'know ye not of these things?'

  • @RenardWarrior fucck off and die somewhere

  • Every single cover by Hellsongs uploaded here in Youtube has infinite comments of bullshit saying that "this cover is crap" or "metal is not music" You are both equally dumb and prolly can not even play an instrument or sing, so you do not know anything about music anyway. World would be better without those whining critic-ass motherfuckers. Appreciate those who say something positive! Love, don't hate, love : ) Ofc no-one can beat original songs of some artist, but the covers here are amazing.

  • is that ronald mcdonald with a hitler stash on that guys shirt? xD

  • what a beautiful and disturbing song it is, when played like this. i find myself listening to it over and over again

  • yeah EDDIE is probably crying right now. don't tell no one.

  • @TheDrunkenHer0 Eddie can't Cry

  • @Theonewhoknowseverything ...

    You should know, tu lo sabes todo.. :)

  • AMAZING skills :) great cover.

  • ASKO!

  • This is a very, very good cover that touches your soul. I like the original song from Iron Maiden but i understand and listen more to the lyrics of this version. Perfect! Harriet Ohlsson´s voice is absolutely beautiful.

  • Beautiful cover. Eddie is in tears. Thanks to you, it remembered how it feels to be human.

  • beautiful :)

  • @ironomega

    Do you mean saccharine?

  • @stewie3200 so you call me gay for finding a female attractive? interesting, and were supposed to take your word that you are an alleged metal fan? right, ok then, yer a poser and this band is still bad, tell them to stick to writing there own music instead of trying to make a name for themselves off of others, answer me this chump were is hellsongs orriginal material? Oh yeah thats right they have none. there a cover band at best, and thats a stretch.

  • @ironomega would you say music is/can be art? would you say this song is a work of art? like all art, it can be abstracted, it can be interpreted, reinterpreted, subjectified and objectified, They are not cover band and their website makes no such claim. They are reinterpreting metal songs, and with great merit, i seen countless cover bands play carbon copies of famous songs, this band hands down beats them all. if i was metallica, id rather someone made the song their own than just copied it.

  • i love music not sacrin garbage like this! and when said sacrin bullshit tries to blanket music I enjoy with it's horrid sentimentality it causes me to rage simply put stick to yer own genre of music don't try and debase metal, metal has its own distinct sound and this is not it.

  • @stewie3200 wow anyone who listens to this shit and claims that this band has a fondness for metal needs a acid enema! how can butchering and debasing be seen as a fondness for the subject? I guess that argument means that the company that makes raid bug spray loves insects.

  • Just awesome ! A beautiful tribute to a huge original song !

  • Hellsongs are freaking awesome

  • this isnt suck, metal songs with metal lyrics in slow acoustic version, it is simple - metal music is influential :)

  • They just melted my face!

  • that looks hard, if i were singing this i'd find myself reverting to the same rhythm of the original

  • What is the point in doing a cover that is the photocopy of the original?

    This is a really nice, neat, personal version of the song. Stop whining you idiot metalfaggots. I love metal too but I just hate you closeminded morons.

    And yeah, you can call me poser, I can wash my balls with that.

  • Musical rapists, that's what they are. >.<

  • It's quite easy to understand the people who are talking shit about this, they like Metal not Music, so thats why they dont like this song.

  • @elmotivode metal is music just because your liberal ears cannot take it does not mean it's not music.

  • @ironomega

    I think the only conservatives that listen to metal are the ones that are too dumb to understand the lyrics, or too dumb to even know the difference between conservatism and liberalism.

  • @Leefer1968

    Depends where you live: the term 'Liberalism' in the land where the language originated is applied to those who believe in the Free Market as the greatest arbiter...hence Liberals ARE Conservatives : )

  • @welshpenguin

    Good point, actually, and I agree with that definition of Liberals. I don't see what that has to do with not liking heavy metal "music".

  • that is one cool AdolfMcDonald shirt ;)

  • the fuck?

  • The storytelling nature of Maiden lyrics suit the arrangement so well.

  • Yes, great success. \o/

  • Appreciating a song is different from appreciating a performance. Only those who recognize the amazing craft of eloquent songwriting could appreciate an arrangement that is so stylistically different from, but essentially true to, the original. Those who can't appreciate a terrific Maiden tune being expressed in a different style are not so much fans of the music as fans of the band, and should trade in their jeans for short skirts. They're only groupies, after all.

  • hellsongs is the cutest liveband of the whole world.

  • filsh...net is a very good homepage to convert the song, too ;)

  • @EOGS4492 no, this is more than a cover..its an interpretation in another "language" of frequencies..

  • @EOGS4492 First of all they did not remove every original melody, just because you can't hear them. If you listen closely, you can find hints to the original in every hellsongs cover. By the way a "cover" has not to be close to the original. If this isn't a cover, Metallica never made a coverCD called Garage Inc, they just "make their own song with stolen lyrics". Fans who stick in a musical dead end are "piss[ed] off", people who love and understand(!) music, like covers like this.

  • Mmmmmh ;)

  • As a metal fan i just love this!!!! Tks You Tube for showing me Hellsongs!

  • This cover is much better than Sign's cover of Run To The Hills

  • i m a die hard fan of maiden (i ve been in their shows , but every patch , t shirt , cd , dvd possible)

    and this is cool , very cool.

  • @gertiification and you sir are a lying, yer no metal fan yer a fan of foulk music but somehow think that by saying you like maiden that it somehow validates this garbage. it does not! this is crap and always will be!

  • What the fuck is this?

  • Wtf? I can't hear that they have anything to do with Maiden and this song.

  • WTF!? (Que Pedo con Esa Madre) #LOL

  • Music is meant to be shared! This is a great example...  for thoes who say otherwise, stop wasting your time.

  • I am a huge metal fan and love the original. Have to say that this is very impressive, great vocals with superb finger picking on the acoustic.  Sweet!

  • AWESOME MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!! it sucks, right? answer me with your opinion if you agree or disagree, please i would like to discuss with some of you guys what you think about this...

  • totally sux sorry, this "cover" destroys this song! Up The Irons

  • Nice, the first Metal-Rock-Cover I really can hear since Apocalyptica :D

    Sounds great.. but I gonna stick 2 my heavy metal stuff xD

    (Btw. if s.o. rly replies with britney spears, we will rock u. Plz flame him/her to death xD )

  • Both versions are great, and i say that as a big maiden fan.

    It just shows, how much beauty is in this music.

  • Well i like the original more too but i have to admit she has a beautiful voice

  • intro stolen from Shape of my heart with Sting? it sure sounds like it..

  • Her voice is great. Love this version so much!! Most song covers are very bad and some covers are sometimes almost better than the original. This version is almost better.

  • I find it sad how narrow minded some of these people are. I pity those who can't expand their musical horizons and enjoy the diversity of music out there. Hellsongs make brilliant interpretations of heavy metal songs, and if it's completely eluded you; it's not -supposed- to sound like the original. This version of the song captures the mood of the lyrics a hundred times more accurately than the original ever did in my opinion. But that's just that. An opinion.

  • @RABIATED THANK YOU! i'm glad to see there's still smart people in the metalworld...

  • usually i listen (among others) the most brutal metal available, but i love the covers hellsongs do. and everyone with at least a little sense of musicality should at least appreciate the musical quality of this covers.

  • I love metal, and i love music, and I don't like the therms

    "bad" og "good". This cover totally changes the song, in a new melancolic way, and it's absolutly beautiful. metal and rock band can write great songs, they're not a bunch of hairy apes (not all anyway) But I can understand that people who have an idea of how "their" music is supose to sound, can get a little provocted. But all in all; I think this is a great musical idea :)

  • @rypefot

    i like music to and i don't use the words "good" or "bad" but you forget to change music into "music" ;)

  • I have been a metal fan all my life, and therefore this album completely blew me away.

    Fantastic adaptations and beautifully done.

    I don't care if other people do not like these versions. But hey, they can listen to the original as many times as they like. In the meantime I'll listen to both.

  • if you dont like it thats fine. probally because you equate it to the alienated art kids stealing the alienated metal kids music, get out of high school. if nothing else its original. if you dont like the cover thats fine, but i wouldnt go calling them faggots because dollars to donuts you've been called that more times than the lead singer of judas priest

  • Wow this cover fucking sucks. No one should compare this shit to the Real Shit.

  • awesome cover???? fuckin horrible cover!!

  • oooo Please shut up this idiots

  • @youshowghey you're one of the bigoted dickwads that gives other metal fans a bad name.

    go be an intolerable prick somewhere else.

  • no, i appreciate MUSIC

    not shit

    thats my opinion, thts why we are allowed to leave comments on youtube videos

    and i like being an 'intolerable prick' right here

  • your eloquence is astounding.

  • why thank you, im glad u noticed

  • i just can´t recognize the song. they changed even the melody. Only those who know the lyrics by heart will figure out the song.

  • I like to play metal versions of soft songs. Hearing it go the other way is strange to me. How dare you give me a taste of my own medicine! lol

  • awesome!! very atmospheric

  • they are swedish ! :) proud=stolt svensk

  • Music is a form of art you can like it or not just because it isnt the original lyrics doesnt make it bad. "look in the eyes of another viewer"

  • the only good version of this group

  • det är en väldigt bra cover , krossar orginalet (Y) tummen upp (Y´

  • WTF?!? ronald mcdonald as hitler on left guy's shirt?

  • I have been an Iron Maiden fan since 1982 but I have no problems with this version. I like it.

  • @snoka30 Are you gay?

  • @Zetsubou12345 why? are you?

  • @TheDrunkenHer0 Cause this version is so fucking gay?

  • @snoka30

    Exactly the same goosebumps as in the original; thumbs up for a freethinker, salute you sir!

    Metal means being open-minded. Everything else is a waste of effort.

  • Everyone below except for the few enlightened ones: You don't understand music.

    Although it's a matter of taste, this is great music: INSPIRED by the original song. That's a compliment people, stop whining. If you like the original more, go listen to that, but saying this sucks is just your narrow-mindedness speaking

  • @MClaessen they make stuff just like the baseballs, great

  • @MClaessen oh enlightened one, please do instruct this lost soul, as he apparently does not understand music as you do!

  • @MClaessen go die! preff in a fire screaming!

  • @ironomega what´s your problem douche

  • @MClaessen mimicry is the highest form of compliment, or what was it?

    I don´t know the original words but I think it´s from Oscar Wilde!!

    you´re right!

  • @MClaessen just because i hate that cover i'm narrow minded and i don't understand music?

  • @XmetalXpowerX

    jep!  :-D

  • @MetalFranconiaFest that's stupid!

  • Hehe, just love it.

    Total destruction of the original song, but I just love it!

  • I like this version!

  • fuckin music fascists

  • They just did, didn't they?

  • shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • :s They could have made it better, i think. Maybe i little bit faster, to bring over the spirit of the Song.

  • Of a story about people being driven to the brink of extinction?

  • Yes. Thats what the song is about, isnt it? I think, it would sound better a little bit more agressiv.

  • it is a little bit faster since they changed the singer

  • well i really loved what they did with paranoid

  • i actually like their music, it really puts a twist on great METAL.

    i also really LOVE the Ronald Mc-Hitler t-shirt!

  • just discovered them and I´m stunned...great versions...the album is awesome!!!!

  • Detta ä så underbart vackert. Skulle vilja ha detta på vårt bröllop.

  • i love you!

  • Wundervoll. <3
