si señor,un cover genial,si es que cuando hay calidad......

[redmetalhead40]

Wow!! great cover... Love Maiden, one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands.. Why are people on here insulting a total strangers mother??? Idiots like that should be banned from making comments on You Tube forever.. I come here to jam and hear old favorites and discover new bands.. I wish I would've had something like this as a teenager.. Rock on my fellow music fans!!!!

[damiano100]

listened to it 10 times in a row..

[steelwolfofficial]

see too watch?v=PUw9jwtc4aQ

[Golem29]

You'd think on a cover they could get the notes right on the MAIN HARMONY

[jefizz66]

Sounds great.

[plinden]

very nice job!

[NeoClassicalMetal100]

Nice Solo!!!!

[TR3YCDC11]

They covered songs that influenced them to become famous. They only liked the sound

[hardest2kill]

Why did they cover this song... What's christian about that song?

[Rangerhalt1]

@hardest2kill What's un-Christian about it? It's just about a song about a battle.

[rizz917]

Stryper has just an incredible sound. So good.

[djones1999j]

yeah right the original is the holy bible of what metal is!

[luc00leh]

This is so much better than the orginal.

[moshmartyr]

@luc00leh Ummm no.

[plinden]

@luc00leh ?

[Mockingbird115]

why don't you shut the fuck up and listen to the fucking song?

vv

[JimJimJimNL]

@Mockingbird115

Because it sucks

[Mockingbird115]

@JimJimJimNL lot like your mother so the song and her have a lot in common

[Golem29]

@Mockingbird115 So you're admitting the song sucks then?

[Mockingbird115]

@Golem29 like your mother yes. 

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1Yeah, well when I said "i'll quit when you do" I don't just mean arguing WITH ME. I mean when you stop posting your stupid comments at all. When i can look at these forums of ANY stryper video & not see a single comment from you at all...That's when I will quit and not until !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 u are tired of talking to me?? OH IT'S A MIRACLE!! Good riddance No one here will miss you bye bye

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Dude, that's why they have comment settings on your channels. and options to block such people from leaving any comments there too. You don't have to hide your channel for that.

as for one of the other claims you made here, I know when to quit....WHEN YOU DO!!!!!!!

when I can look at these forums and NOT see a single comment from you on ANY stryper video. That's when i'll quit. and not until LOL LOL

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Whatever dude, I have read the bible. It says nothing about going to hell for listening to music.

You are the false prophet

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 ANGRY??? YOU WISH, No i thought your sad attempts were comical LOL

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 LOL, WHAT NASTY LANGUAGE????????????

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Dude, you can "conclude" / JUDGE? all you want about me. I don't care what YOU think. The Lord knows how i feel, so there. And his opinion is all i care about. Not yours judge chump

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Nice try chump. But i think more people here on these stryper videos would agree with me than you. So try again hahaha

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

lol markopee1 the biggest youtube troll in internet history lol

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Nice comeback, NOT. You are the one who is deceived chump. I Know what it meas to be a disciple of Christ, YOU DON'T though that is obvious. You continue to judge everyone even though Jesus himself said not to do that. Plus, You do not follow Matthew 10 14 & 15. You keep making a nuisance of yourself & embarrassing Christianity in the process. Even though those verses make it clear that if no one wants to here you...walk / go away

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 And you are a troll.reasons this is obvious

1. You have your channel hidden so no one can see what you have on it??

2. Your retarded logic comments are on how many? stryper videos here on youtube.

3 You don't know when to quit / give it up

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Again you are wrong about me. I'm just not a closed-minded hypocrite pointing judgmental fingers at everyone

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 whatever man, you are just a lost cause. Look By the way, as much as i truly do enjoy arguing with youtube troll swine like yourself. i gotta go. Unlike you, i have a life. Argue with ya again later tonight LOL Bye for now troll boy

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Yeah, and God also knows what's in their hearts, aka why they covered that song. Or for that matter why it was written in the first place. You do not.

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 You are hopeless. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SONG LYRICS!!!!!

Must you take everything so literal

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 and yeah, from those i know who have met them they are really nice guys. Nikko (Maiden's Drummer) is a Christian. although you are too stubborn & pigheaded to admit it

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 You are hopeless. Dude, you are talking about Song Lyrics!!! Yeah, Right...Like the members of iron maiden really expect their fans or anyone else to slaughter / kill their own daughters. Are you insane....

IT'S JUST SONG LYRICS MAN. quit taking everything so dang literal

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 What version of the bible are you reading from. The original KJV never mentions the word rapture that i know of. Jesus is coming back ONLY after the tribulation of Satan. To user in the Millenium you spoke of.

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 MAN I LOVE ARGUING WITH TROLLS LIKE YOU!!!!!

you are so pathetic!!!. It's a SONG LYRIC, so what!!!! You take everything to literal LOL

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 I Don't know if God is pleased with what they did or not. Because Unlike you & i he know the real reason why they covered a song like that. He knows if they, as well as stryper or any other hiuman being are truly christian or not. That is why he is the judge & not you or I

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 yeah it does matter. You are a troll who no one wants to here from & Matthew 10 14 & 145

says that if no one wants to hear you, just walk / go away. But do you do that?? NO!!

NOW WHO'S NOT OBEYING THE LORD? YOU

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Well why don't you follow the words of those verses i quoted and just go away?

Leave those of us who enjoy good Christian music alone

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Dude, get over it, none of those bands stryper covered here are evil. You are truly pathetic if you believe they are

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 I KNOW JESUS IS COMING BACK!!!!! The point of the question oh presumptuous one is Do you believe in this "Rapture" theory. Or do you realize that He is coming here & here is where we all stay

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 What's so strange about that? Knowing about stryper and not saviour machine.

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 NOW THAT IS FUNNY!!! you are truly a lost cause if you think ANYONE here cares what you have to say. That is only obviuous from lookin at previous comment logs here that most people HATE you here

So yes YOU ARE DRIVING People away from christianity grandpa. Metal music rocks, but i know...you are far too old to see that LOL

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 By the way, about ur constant heckling everyone here on these stryper forums

Matthew 10: 14 & 15 - And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

In other words. ur being a troll on these forums, & In turn, driving people away from the Lord. Is not pleasing God either

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Whatever Dude. Heavy Metal is Great Music!! Just cuz u are too old to like it. Doesn't mean no one else should.

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 I don't know about saviour machine? never heard of them. But i can say again. I AM GLAD GOD IS OURR JUDGE & NOT A CLOWN LIKE YOU

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 Why don't you just admit. this cover songs album is just a convenient excuse for you to insult a band you never liked from day one. And even if they hadn't done this album, you still wouldn't like them.

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 YOU are the one who is hopeless. And i suppose you believe Jesus is coming to "rapture" all the believers away too? 

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 I See, I was right about you all along!! You truly are just a youtube troll. You don't even have the guts to leave your channel open for all to see it?? what a joker you are

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 why do you say that LOL

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

Note to ALL who see this video & read the comments. Please do just Ignore the raving idiot here known as MarkOpee1. He's just a troll and a sad excuse of a Christian

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 "You have the evidence by their fruits" funny to hear a joker like you say that!! LOL. And just what have YOU done that is so worthy?? HUH?? Other than pass judgment on every one in Heavy Metal music history?? I'm sure u have lead many people away from Christianity with your self-righteous holier than thou attitude. If I were you I'd be worried about what the Lord has to say about that fact. and again for the 100th time. Metal is NOT satanic chump. Get a clue LOL

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 who are you to say if Nikko McBrain is a true christian. Man i am glad god is our judge & not an old geezer like you who just hates metal

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@MarkOpee1 You are still at it? What a troll. Get a life already. Metal is NOT satanic. Stryper are true Christians so just get over over it troll boy

[MyownPrison89]

It's a good cover. I like how they made it their own and not just another carbon copy. Stryper freaking shreds. Iron maiden still owns though.

[DonJay777]

@MarkOpee1 what evidence do you have to prove that stryper are frauds who are leading people to hell? do you know that stryper fans who die actually go to hell?

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@DonJay777 Dude, i wouldn't worry what markopee1 says. He's obviously just a metal hating Troll

[TheSchafer78]

@pearlsb4swine1969 Ive never seen the hellfire and brimstone stuff bring some one to god. Try just loving people and sharing what Christ has given to us. Love, Joy, Compassion, Mercy, Grace and Strength.

[drstench]

Even though I don't really like them,I have to applaud Stryper for this album. They covered heavy and TRUE metal here. They could have pulled a Queensryche and done really worthless covers for money but didn't. Stryper are now more metal than Queensryche... I never thought that would be possible.

Fuck jesus, tho.

[Zakariah1971]

Nice!

[Tyzirial]

I don't hear them singing Metallica's The God that failed or Leper Messiah so cut them some slack, also Jesus condemned religious hypocrisy and judgement against others for real or perceived sin far more harshly than anything else. God is far more concerned with what we do with Jesus in our own lives than the sin we commit that he paid for. Praise God that he redeemed us through faith in Christ alone by his grace and not based on our merit. Preach the truth of God in love,God loves good Metal.

[mymusicalexile]

theres one thing that bothers me about this doule standard country They think just because these guys are singing 80's non christian metal they are no longer faithful to the lord. People you should wake up and stop throwin stones if you believe in the lord. I bet none of you haters can cast the first one as the lord said to the ones in the bible (short version) lol. You so called christians are no better by judging them. so u sinful blasphamers join their ranks if you believe they r sinning

[BOUKEBANDSTRA]

i love to hear the solo...

they're so tallented... oz fox and micheal are very good guitar players..

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

I do appologize to those who have top read my comments here. But these "Christians" here piss me off. They make it seem to others that to be a christian is to be a holier than thou judgmental hypocrite, like they all are? Not so, I am a christian myself, although thanks to the idiocy here i almost cringe when i say that. who likes Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Ozzy, etc..

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

Note to all the holier than thou holy joe retards here. Stryper are Christian, They're just not closed minded hypocrites like you. So F*#k off

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@pearlsb4swine1969 hey dumb fucker, Jesus also said judge not lest ye be judged yourself. You seem to have forgotten that one?? heh, interesting how that always seems to happen with you holy joe assholes.

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@pearlsb4swine1969 Yeah well Stryper never said they were jesus either dumbass.

Goddamn will you maggots just go the fuck away. Stop ripping on Stryper for covering "Secular" songs already. Go back to church or something, and let us who like this cover enjoy it without your buttblind ramblings. Please go away, i said please LOL Stop embarrassing christianity with your holier than thou act here

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@pearlsb4swine1969 Judas also repented dumbass hypocrite. oh good god, Do you dimwits even have half of a microscopic pea sized brain? Or does god resent those with a brain that can think for themselves???

IT'S ONLY MUSIC dumbass. Get a fuckin life

[StryperTHWTD10241986]

@pearlsb4swine1969 oh good god (eyes rolling to the back of my fuckin' head in disgust) Not another holier than thou "christian" Go to hell motherfucker. Your ranting & raving here is leading people away from Christianity too. They see comments like yours here & think all Christians are holy joe hypocrites like you.

Iron Maiden are a great band & they are NOT Satanic you dimwitted idiot. Stop embarrassing Christianity with your stupid remarks.

[GuevaraX5]

This one has my vote and I've been a fan of Maiden since 1990.

[Roymain]

Me gusta

[clem070605]

actually a pretty good cover. i know stryper have taken a bit of stick over the years from some critics and metal fans, but we all know that Stryper are better than anything on Kerrang these days. So carry on Stryper

[lamentconfig100]

@pearlsb4swine1969

Nicko mbbrain from iron maiden became a christian many years ago. He even plays drums for this church's praise band. One day he gave his testimony and an iron maiden fan that was there gave his life to christ. So I would say that Iron maiden has brought more people to jesus than you have with your bible quoting, hellfire and brimstone schtick. You sir, are the reason that most people turn their heads to Christianity.

[usernameofnobody]

@lamentconfig100 That's right!

[remotenightowl]

@lamentconfig100, YES YES YES!!!! SOMEBODY OTHER THAN ME REALIZING THAT OUR FAITH IS NOT A SALES PITCH!!!!!! To people reading this comment, I say this because Christianity constantly gets caught up with the mainstream, and the whole point is just to love each other, without judgement. i.e. there is video with a fundamentalist outside a slayer concert telling people to "repent." also, I don;t really listen to stryper, but i had to see this cover, b/c i love maiden.

[lamentconfig100]

pearlsb4swine1969. your life must absolutely suck

[sinbysin666]

Would be fun if they were covering The Number of the Beast instead, lulz. Anyway, I don't see the point in this if they are going to cover it step by step. It just makes me wanna listen to the original instead, because Iron Maiden is simply a much better, and unique sounding band.

At least this cover album shows that Stryper has great taste. Too bad that doesn't show in their own songs. I got nothing against Christian music, but Stryper is really bland Rock/Metal music.

[abelcainsbrother]

Stryper has proven they rock for Christ and they have lasted along time.Stryper went out on the front lines and toured with secular bands while taking a stand for Christ they did'nt have to do it. Other Christian bands don't do that they tuor with other Christian bands..They rock for Christ and have for along time.Jesus sais to do things that get peoples attention John 13 which is what they are doing while you are judging..

[AndrewNewZealand]

These are very good covers.....and yet I never rated Styper's own music, not since '84 when they first started. Well at least they do good covers.

[savarulz]

Stryper and Maiden both rock, this is a great version

[TheGazam20000]

i think this version is great, even compared to maidens original, which was in 1983 lol

[witol96]

As FUCKING GOOD AS ORGINAL SONG

[MetalWarriorCRC66]

Fucking Awesome..!

[LittleMountainLion]

Good cover.

[313hummer]

GREAT COVER! :D

[morphaacuarius]

With this, Stryper is demonstrating that theyre not another closed mind christian band, they are a true Metal band lmL

[MetalllGodd]

@morphaacuarius I agree brother!!! It sounds a bit fuller and the harmonizing is richer!! Not as fast i think but almost just as awesome!!! This is my first day listening to Stryper after years of heavy Metal and I must say I AM Impressed!!!

[DomenicSinatra]

very cool

[cory2cory2]

Respect./



[naneitorful]

SE ME CAYÓ STRYPER, AHORA ES UN GRUPO CUALQUIERA QUE LE CANTA A LA GUERRA Y LA MUERTE.

[KirenVanDorff]

du caraio.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[titustiti]

I like Iron Maiden (specially this song) and Stryper both. For me, It's a good cover.

[Danielotero23]

OK since we are used to hearing Bruce D. Performing this song, it is different to hear a diffrent type of singer. I think this was a valiant effort and the nay sayers can just bite it!

[gramirez1814]

stryper rules the metal christian world!!!!

[TheRippingCorpse]

KILL STRYPER! THEY ARE GOING TO HEAVEN! THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR!

[Jfladager]

wow, Stryper. Saw maybe 10 shows back in the 80's. Have to say this is not a very good cover of a great Maiden song. Vocally anyway.

[timtyler2010]

UMMM.....naw. I'd much rather listen to this great cd than the death rattles of yer kid.....just sayin'.

[chupandonaftalina]

Bruce es inigualable...pero es muy buena esta version..!

[p4horror]

I pre-ordered this CD today. They're playing here in March but on a work night. I'll do my best to go.

[KLJ6371]

to the people who thinks this is crap aparently don't know crap about music.Just what their fed from empty-v.God bless stryper and I think maybe they should just wait on the Lord Jesus before playing these secular songs to make money in a failing economy; for the Lord will provide!!! Peace and forgive onanother as the Lord forgives us of our wrong doing's(tresspasses)The Lord called on me in feb.2004, and it has been great ever since name calling rejection all of it.I belong to God so oh well!!!

[BretonF]

I'd rather listen to the death rattle of my only child than this shit

[waralejo]

@BretonF imbecil...

[KnightOwl2006]

@BretonF don't even joke about the death of a child. 

[gizz88]

@BretonF Then why you on here you loser?

[Petrafan95]

@BretonF

If you don't have any positive things to say, you can shut up?

[mcrchickenluvr]

@BretonF Let me guess, you can't appreciate good music.

[Sunny1870weregudyrs]

@BretonF Can you do better? Didn't think so.

[Xeivous]

@stryperken

just shut up and listen to this awesome cover
