  • 131 people wouldn't know a cover if it punched them in the face.

  • ffs people will you stop complaing that it doesn't sound like maiden. a cover is not supposed to sound like the original. THE POINT OF A COVER IS THAT A BAND PERFORMS THE SONG IN THEIR STYLE.

  • 0.26- miau???

  • Goddamn, everyone of these Iron Maiden covers I visit there's people complaining how it doesn't sound EXACTLY like Iron Maiden.

  • THIS IS A COVER, not a affort to be iron maiden, don't be an a-hole

  • Imagine this with Jack Black on vocals \;;;/

  • Fucking awesome!

    

  • stupids Kids. This is a COVER SONG!!!

  • T.H.I.S C.O.V.E.R R.O.C.K.S

  • wtf is wrong with the vocalists throat?

  • @ForeverOnwards Absolutely nothing

  • @ForeverOnwards Nothing! He's just a shit "singer"!

  • este tio es dios es lo mejor k ay ya me gustaria ati escuxarte cantar y aber salido de todas ñlas mierdas en las k alexi estuvo metido

  • 2:15 solo, sounds like MEGA keyboard playing XD. Good cover.

  • Alexi and Janne toghether fuck up any duo out there, their solos absolutley rape the maiden guitar players...no offence Maiden haha

  • well said MrMerby,well said.

  • i like the vocals more than the solo they are so metal and the guitar in the back....ahhh its just too much metal !!! and i love it :)

  • lol after a while you learn to love alexi's vocals.

  • i don't like the computer guitar.

    Fuck you computer guitar.

    and you , and you, and you too.

  • Damn... those vocals are just infernal. But the instrumentals were epic and the solo was completely mind-blowing.

  • Alexi at guitar and Bruce at vocals- perfect combination- epic song

  • La version d'arch enemy et mieux ..

  • FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alexi and Janne fucking ruled the solo.

  • Didn't really wanna follow the song after hearing the vocals, but I'm glad I stayed for the solo, that was pretty freaking good :)

    (1:47 for others like me)

  • I died of excitement when i heard the solo. and ressurected when i heard it again. COB FTW \m/

  • a litle bit better than the original

  • @zignelis ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING

    The original beats this one's ass so hard that Laiho would cry in his bedroom. This one is total shit. Iron Maiden for life. DON'T FUCKING KILL THE LEGENDS.

  • @MrFuneralDog I prefer this one.

  • @epicusername1 you're an idiot for saying that. Just sayin..

  • @MysterioFan02 How am I an idiot? I don't really see whats wrong with me stating my opinion.... this is the internet after all.

  • @MrFuneralDog

    I believe u r one of those fools who focus more on the vocals than the music...puh-lease!! Alexi and Janne pawnnn the fuck out of those solos!!! It's a decent enough cover!!!

  • I'm a little confused why some people would compare vocals. CoB is not trying to be Maiden here, nor sound like them. They are HONORING Maiden by doing Maiden's song in THEIR style.

    Frankly, I'd rather hear CoB do it this way, any other way would sound too fake from them.

  • @MrMeraby

    exactly

  • @MrMeraby Finally someone who understands the point of a cover.

  • This is like Finns flying Hawker Hurricanes during WW2. They flew hurricanes their ways!

  • Mosh'd with my dog

  • Wrong album art jack ass....

  • Lame band,Iron deserved something better.

  • the instrumental is FUCKING AWESOME!!! but the vocalist... no... not Maiden material

  • @VadmyraIL thats coz its not the irons its bodom they have they own style and they show respect trough this cover

  • @LOKOLOKO52 I know, i still like this cover

  • i heard ironmaiden aces high first time at 10 years old since that i ve been metal head

  • instrumental is awsome but singing,its sounds like someones barking.

  • Comment removed

  • @ckydch CoF didn't make that cover , that cover was made by graveworm

  • Vocals should be a little bit louder. In this, growl is slightly inaudible... GREETINGS FROM POLAND!

  • Hahaha this band is a circus. How dare they ruin such a masterpiece?

  • @t4sos1234 this isn't that bad. Not better than the original of course but it's decent

  • Fuckin' awesome guitar, but the vocals are a little too heavy for me. Great solo though!

  • The music is fantastic in my opinion, the singing isn't for me though

  • """""""" demaciado bueno """""""

  • horrible

    

  • no. just wrong

  • Hate it. Cant understand the words and they are playing so fast it just sounds like slush. Just my opinion. I merely gave it a chance.

  • @t25dubber the lyrics to this kind of metal r kinda like spanish... after u listen to it so much u understand it real easy

  • Cover is a failure!...

  • once again i jizzed in my underoos!!

  • It hurts my vocal cords listening to the singer!! How can he sing like that and no damage his vocal cords? Pretty good cover though 

  • @kikin1976 scream vocals doesn't damage your vocal chords if you learn to do it right. The power comes mainly from lungs and diaphragm, throat only shapes the voice a lil bit. It's a common missconception that death and black metal vocals comes from the throat

  • @Corrosive1 actually you shouldnt do it from your throat, you will mess it up. you have to learn to do it from your diaphragm.

  • @erickbodom10v312 thats what i said, jesus

  • Comment removed

  • gave the song a new life

  • Comment removed

  • They are joking with the fucking vocals right!!!!!!

  • @tatemalmsteen youre a fucking idiot, why can't you enjoy the cover? if you have never heard children of bodom then you would know they are not joking, and there's nothing wrong with these vocals, on account of the band is melodic death metal, melodies coming from iron maiden and other new wave metal bands and other influences, you sir are ignorant, good day.

  • @Asguardia I'm sorry man.I was in a room full of people listening to this and we were all rocking out to it,but as soon as the vocals kicked in we all started busting up laughing.I honestly thought it was a joke,and so did every one else in the room.I thought it was a steel panther sort of thing.If it's any consulation we thought the musicians all sounded great.I have been a vocal and guitar instructor for 20 years.I have also been a prominent judge in vocal and guitar playing contests.

  • CoB fully rocked this song...hardcore...well done guys.

  • COB And Maiden....... \m/

  • arch enemy covered this song too, but this one is better :P :D

  • I personally love the vocals on this!

  • is a good cover but arch enemy's version is better

  • @xSantiiag0ox And Maiden's is the best.

  • fuck this metalcore fag band stop covering maiden 

  • @MEGADETH2030 why? is maiden not a band good enough to deserve covers?

  • @rolig95 And btw i love maiden and i am even going to see them this summer, so that is why i get pissed when some1 say that they dont deserve to get covered.

  • @MEGADETH2030 : creating covers is a form of showing respect. CoB is respecting (and still listening) classic metal bands. No wonder that such a band like CoB can add some additional energy to that song (I also admit it would hard for them add something to songs like Hallowed be thy name or powerslave)

  • @MEGADETH2030 Listen To 4:21.... I Think COB Would Say Something Like That To Hater Fags Like You....

  • @MEGADETH2030 metalcore? dude this is melodic death metal?

    and i'm sorry that alexi's voice scared you. perhaps you should just stick with maiden yeah, all clean vocals.

    btw i am not insulting bruce, maiden are my favourite band!

    and you sir clearly dont understand the point of a cover. its not meant to sound like the original, it is supposed to be played in the style of the band covering it.

  • It's very good :)

    But original is much better ;)

  • I wish everyone who bitched about covers would video respond with them doing a better job. Just because it's vastly different from the original doesn't mean it's bad. But they'll just hide behind their blanket of internet anonymity and bash people who have worked for years to develop this level of musical skill. But it's okay, internet tough guys win all time time, ask Sony sometime.

  • @deadmau5KIDD It is honour for Iron Maiden that CoB has made cover of this great song.. It's not remaking so dont whine..

    -Maiden fan

  • this sounds like shit iron maiden is the best band to ever grace this earth leave there songs alone please

  • @deadmau5KIDD i think its pretty good tbh

  • @722deano the music yeah but not the singing

  • bandits at 8 oclock move in behind us, 10 me109's out of the sun

  • aces high is from powerslave not from a matter of life and death

  • @Gothless.... Thank You

  • Incomparable to Bruce's Air Raid Sirens but Alexi stands his own grounds.......Awesome cover...... 

  • bodom cover >>> arch enemy cover

  • Needs more cowbell..... :/

  • Instruments thumbs up. Singing????? ughh

  • Actually this is a good cover... Guys u gotta understand that a good cover is when a band manage to present a song in their own image instead trying to do a replica of the original.. This Aces High translates the essence of the song structure into extreme metal genre, It works.... Although i am not really a fan of growls... But with CoB i can turn a blind eye...

  • @gothless Fuck finally some 1 who fucking understand what a cover is ... i always see those comments " originial is better" "singing is wrong" wtf this is COB i won't sound like Maiden idiots...

  • hahaha i lookeed and it said above^ all comments (666)

  • hahaha i lookeed ant it said above all comments (666)

  • not some peoples cups of tea but i fucking love it, prefer the original but its good to hear a good death metal version :)

  • Singing is just wrong.

  • @guugeli169 Yea singing is wrong every1 stop singing curs its just wrong do everything but singing....!!!!!!

  • no. just no.

  • the keyboard solo's the only thing worth listening to.

  • @alainQCx nerd rage :D

  • AWFUL! The guitar is muddy as fuck and don't get me started on the vocals

  • Great cover, but no one can say that this is better than Maiden's. And if someone says so, he dont know anything about music..

  • @pahapepe yea i sure dont know anything about music but fuck you lollll do you know anything? really?? oh my god.. eat my ass..

  • Fucking fail.

  • And talk about eargasm

  • Iron Maiden in this song: Awesome + BLAHHHHHH IMAFIRINMAHLAZORZBLAHHHH!!!!

  • I, in my bedroom, just gave the solo a standing ovation.

  • @rockingrugger Were you applauding this version or the Maiden version? Personally I think this version's solo is awful.

  • @gp75motorsports Haha, this version. The original is obviously much better, but I certainly did enjoy this. Keyboard/guitar solos are a guilty pleasure of mine :D

    That said, the song is far from perfect. I do wish there'd been more singing and less growling.

  • @rockingrugger Congratulations on a comment that made me physically laugh

  • Great Cover, great song... I like the cover version better. :)

  • not children of bodom.

  • this song is sooo awesome! its great that they changed the original so much! there's no point in trying to play exactly the same because the original will always be better...

    but this..doing your own stuff while keeping the basics...thats what a cover should sound like!

  • This is terrible.... There's no bass at all, and the guitars are so distorted that you can't hear a bit of detail in the riffs, not to mention the solos don't sound anything like this.

    There's putting your spin on another song, but really? They couldn't just cover a song off of like, And Justice for All, since it didn't have any bass presence either?

  • @RaidonSama there is a bass idiot ... its just not as loud as iron maiden -_-

  • i love this cover. its a great take on a great song. that being said, i agree with whoever said the vocals dont go well. alexi has great screams for his genre of music, but to hear it on a maiden song just clashes.

    ohh yeah, like said b4, their bassist is mediocre at best

  • The only problem is the vocals which is laiho's trademark style so we shldnt cry about it too much they ofcourse cant match up to the solos of the mighty murray and smith bt still they put something thats not too far away...bt wad makes a maiden a maiden song is the bass..the legendary steve harris.......and u barely can hear bass in CoB songs which is the big minus point in this cover

  • Comment removed

  • If you actually know the lyrics, you'll follow it just fine.

  • he screames TOO mutch , you cant hear a shit of what he sings ..

  • @hardrock1998az

    Pussy

  • This song is a tribute to a god! Iron maiden and CoB! FUCK YEAH! \m/

  • @amunsib0711

    I just did a one man circle pit

  • Sinceramente no es facil hacer un cover de una banda como maiden...pero no hablamos de cualquier banda...es Children Of Bodom!!!! Excelente... Up the Irons! Up The Childrens!!!

  • Sinceramente no es facil hacer un cover de una banda como maiden...pero no hablamos de cualquier banda...es Children Of Bodom!!!! Excelente... Up the Irons! Up The Childrens!!!

  • this is retarded...dickinson's voice is what makes iron maiden what it is...

    you can't growl Iron Maiden song...it's blasphemy!

  • @aco2456 to right man, im going to soundwave 2011 in australia and IM are the headline, im hoping so much that they play this song

  • @aco2456 i think the fact that they growl it makes it more original which is sometimes better than just copying the original

  • @crazeebassist94 yeah, but you cant growl maiden song...maiden song requires melody, not growl.

  • @aco2456 l guess so id say if its a cover you can pretty much do what you want with it but idk machine head has the best cover in my opinion

  • this cover just totally sucks balls

  • @UchichaMad4ra Its better than the Arch Enemy Cover, its utter crap, they dont even give a decent solo.

  • Fuck you "Ayyyh, why did they rape this song!!8(". Shut up already, this is good cover and I'm sick of that how peoples are crying same things...

  • i cant understand a word he is saying.

  • @sniped101 I can

    there must be something worng with you

  • M3t@l...rockzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!­cob salute them..

  • damn gud ...metal rocks.....

  • Screaming vocals is been part of metal forever, this band is pretty good at it.

    don't hate, appreciate!

  • I like the Growling, but I just wish that they tried toned it down a little.

  • the band is good the singer kills it every time for me example he killed this classic

  • The definition of "singing" is objective and my opinion is the benchmark.

  • WOnder where this guy's throat is after this....He must have had to run after it at least a mile...

  • @juanchito26 not used to these kind I vocals I see....

  • Alexi is no Bruce but good cover

  • @Sicproductions1 Are you kidding????...These are no vocals, this is plain screaming!

  • the instrumental is awesome through the whole song, the vocal is no comment (in the good way) nothing more to say but cool cover.

  • This is my favorite song to listen to while playing ace combat 6... =D

  • i have always wondered how the song would be with screaming...

    NOW I HAVE THE ANSWER !!!!!! NICE!!!! xD

  • @otommod Alexi never sings.

  • @GilbertFan101 LMAO! Then why is he the lead singer......numbnuts...

  • @Loz8900 Its called screaming or growling dumb fuck. When I said he never sings I meant he never produces a series of related pitches or singing tone. Use your brain dipshit.

  • @GilbertFan101 Screaming and death growl is a type of singing "dumb fuck"

    Check it out on wikipedia, my man. Type in death growl and call me daddy! =D

  • @Loz8900 Its a vocal technique not singing. And you do realize wikipedia is a website where anyone can post something about anything, right? I doubt anyone who posts on wikipedia is qualified. Think what you will though. You obviously know what you're talkin about.

  • @GilbertFan101 VOCALIST! Ahhh...wow. Sweet victory.

    So you deny that a vocalist is a singer? Even if it IS on wikipedia, it's still true!

    And hell ya, i know what I'm talking about.

    I bet you're one of those guys that goes around correcting people on all the subgenres of metal. "It's not metalcore, it's deathcore! It's not Heavy Metal, it's Speed Metal! It's not Symphonic Metal, it's Goth Metal!" LMAO

  • @Loz8900 Not really, you don't know shit about me, but back to the actual subject of this conversation, yes I do deny that a vocalist is a singer, in a specific outlook of it. When someone is giving a speech, they are VOCALIZING. So yes singing is vocalizing, as well as screaming, talking, growling, etc. But as far as death metal screaming goes, no, screaming is not singing.

  • @GilbertFan101 We are, in fact, not talking about speeches are we? We are talking about the term Vocalist used in MUSIC. In MUSIC, vocalist refers to a SINGER.

    The exact definition of Vocalist for you:

    vo·cal·ist [voh-kuh-list]

    –noun

    a singer.

    Taken straight for the dictionary. And yes, death growling is STILL considered singing because it has to do with changing pitch (don't tell me a death growl isn't a pitch change) to a rhythm.

  • Brutal Version:-)

  • shit sucks im the 83rd

    How the fuck can you say this is better than the original

    you can't make someone elses song better-.-

    dumbass posers

  • 82 justin bieber fans

  • @demonlove2695 Nooooo, 82 Iron Maiden fans.

  • i really love Bodom not as much a Maiden but tbh they almost owned em with this cover! just turned my fav Maiden song in2 their own version and i LOVE it!! :D

  • Que Chingon.... Esto es un Regalo Para mi Alma y Oídos... No me Gusta mucho Children of Bodom, Pero en Este Tributo la Energía de la Voz y la Música me Hacen sentir En Medio de la Guerra, En El Aire en una Pelea a Muerte..... Que Hermoso....

    Por Children of Bodom esta es de mis Canciones Favoritas...

  • This could be beter, but still this is good.

  • Comment removed

  • CoB is fucking sweet! Iron Maiden is fucking epic! Together, it sounds awesome!

  • First off, this is Children of Bodom's COVER of this song, an open interpretation paying tribute to a legendary group of artists. Am I absolutely crazy about Alexi's voice in this song? Not really, but it's THEIR cover, not yours. I love this cover, the cool thing about this version is that I feel like I am in a F-22 rather than a WWII Spitfire when I hear the original. This is a great modern metal group spreading Metal's influence, whats wrong with that? Nothing! God Bless!

  • Comment removed

  • He sounds way diffrent from are you dead yet album! lol But still fucking kick asss!!!!!!

  • iron maiden's vocalist kicks the shit out of this guy. instruments are pretty much on par if not better though.

  • Hope I don't offend any crazy Maiden fans but, though they're very good, Bodom just made your song waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better.

  • It depends on which band you prefer. I like both, Children Of Bodom AND Iron Maiden very much. This is a great cover, done in typical older COB-style. Of course many hardcore Maiden fans don't like it. It was the first COB-song i ever heard and first i also thought "Terrible voice!" because i love the original. But what now? Today COB is my favourite band. Nothing can beat the original but you can listen to both versions anyway.
