  • Holy shit.

    My balls just emptied.

  • I'm so torn!

    I LOVE Opeth and Iron Maiden!

    Just amazing :D

  • Awful...

    

  • best fucking version of this song.

  • for all of u who think metallica is god

    go f*ck urself bitches becuz opeth just teabagged ur god

  • When i firts heard this i didnt know it was a cover. i tohguht it wa sone of their songs. That's how you truely know they've made a cover their own

  • Wow, the vocals resemble Pauls on this song, great idea to cover this amazing song.

  • This cover is great :) Big Metallica fan here but i will admit this cover is better, although i like Kirks solos :)

  • @fb09jc i totaly agree, i happen to be BIG Metallica fan as welli :)

  • paul d anno sang this song off iron maidens first album not bruce dickinson!!

  • every iron maiden song is a good one. opeth gives it a nice point of view

  • Awesome Cover !!

    Greetings From Greece .

  • I'm a die hard opeth fan, and this song keeps the respect the original song has. The difference between Opeth's cover and Metallica's cover is that Akerfeldt HAS a beautiful clean voice, while Hetfield doesn't... my humble opinion xD

  • @zorac91 agreed

  • why does opeth have a billion covers

  • l love Iron Maiden. I love Opeth. So naturally, I love Opeth covering Iron Maiden!!

  • This is a good cover, but has no doubt that MAIDEN play this song far better than Opeth. Opeth played it faster, lost some of the special feeling that MAIDEN can bring to the song. Paul and Bruce sing this better than Mikael. And Dave Murray play this song with the perfect feeling.

    UP THE IRONS!!!

  • @VictorIRONMAIDEN666 Eh... Bruce Dickinson isn't a better singer than Akerfeldt if that's what you're saying.

  • @lasoogneypubes FAIL.

    Paul Di'Anno sings on this song, Not Bruce..

  • @MrYalkan .... I wasn't talking to you.. The guy before me said and I quote, "Paul and BRUCE sing this better than Mikael". Did I say anything about Bruce singing this song? No. Major FAIL.

  • @lasoogneypubes Oh sh*t. Sorry Lol.

  • @lasoogneypubes Hands down, Bruce has a wider range than Mikael, but I think Mikael has a better tone than Bruce.

  • @616TheBeast616 He has a wider range but Bruce is almost always doing a vibrato when he sings. I guess it's just opinion but I don't think having a wide range makes you a better singer.

  • @lasoogneypubes Well, range definitely factors into how good of a singer you are, but so does versatility, tone, and emotion. And I think Mikael trumps Bruce in the latter two.

  • @616TheBeast616 Ok well I can agree with you 100% on that.

  • @lasoogneypubesBruce is a better singer than Mikael. Far better. No one beats Bruce. Mikael cannot sing like Bruce, even in his dreams. Bruce is the best vocalist ever!

    Well I thin Mikael is a good singer too. But Bruce is in another level. In a superior level. He is in the highest level. No one has never been in Bruce's level and no one will never be.

    BRUCE IS THE BEST!

    UP THE IRONS!!!

  • @VictorIRONMAIDEN666 I don't think singing with high pitch and a constant vibrato makes you the best singer..

  • @lasoogneypubes Even singing with a stupid guttural vocals, and with a poor vocal range.

  • @VictorIRONMAIDEN666 Haha. Bravo for Bruce for being able to suck his testicles up into his body to hit the high notes. Oh wait, there are never any low notes for him. He's ALWAYS singing a high note! I'm not talking about Mikael's growling, we're talking about singing here come on. Opeth's music never calls for high notes, it'd sound stupid if he was singing anything like Bruce. Bruce's singing fits Iron Maiden but it gets annoying hearing constant high pitch with a constant vibrato.

  • @lasoogneypubes If you say that Bruce don't sing low notes it's because you never listened to him. Why don't you listen to "Longest Day" for example or "Wrathchild" with him, or the begining of Brave New World in Rock in Rio, or Age of Innocence, or Jourtneyman.

    Bruce is not that power/melodic metal's singer, like Kiske, Andre Matos. Bruce is a real singer. He can sing very high notes and very low notes. He can variate styles like anyone else.

    Mikaels will never be like him.

    UP THE IRONS!!!!

  • @VictorIRONMAIDEN666 Sorry man but really what I was saying was a slight exaggeration. He does sing low notes obviously. Just the constant vibrato gets annoying and it's not a sign of singing skill at all. He has great vocal range I don't think range makes or breaks your singing ability. I'm not too surprised that someone with a name like yours has such a boner for Dickinson. Maiden's extremely over rated. All their albums sound the same. I have Powerslave and that's all I'll ever need.

  • @lasoogneypubes Hey, Bruce interpretates the songs like anyone else, he variates high and low notes he had already used something like a guttural vocals, he is the most techinnical vocalist ever, with a great range and a great strenght. But if you really thinh that Mikael is a better singer, I cannot do anything.

    But you are lying when you say that MAIDEN's albuns sound the same. This is a big lie. And anyone who has listen at leats 5 MAIDEN albuns can understand.

  • @lasoogneypubes Compare Powerslave with The Final Frontier, or with A Matter of Life and Death. Or Compare Killers with Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Compare The X-factor with No Prayer for the Dying.

    Man these are all albuns witha big difference in their sounds. They sound nothin with each other. Try this and you will see.

    Just listen to The Final Frontier or to A Matter and Life and Death. Pick up 3 or 4 songs of theses two albuns and try to compare with Powerslave. And then you tell me!

  • Thats right!

  • There's only  ONE remember tomorrow for me, guess which one...

    Listening to hard rock/metal BUT disliking Opeth is like loving life but committing suicide.

  • Get that fucking shitty death metal as far away from the greatest Metal band in history as possible.

  • @crashin1 i played maiden records on my dads vinyl before i could walk, since then i've climbed the mountain of music and At the top i found Opeth DEAL WITH IT

  • @crashin1 lol :-P I love Opeth, Iron Maiden is also a great band... so is DT, Ayreon, many more

  • Not used to seeing an Opeth song that is this short..xD

    (yes i know it's a cover guys)

  • @Mephisto2913 Listen to Damnation, it's nothing new for them.

  • personally I reckon opeth have captured an old time classic metal feel around this track...Although know it's an old maiden track i think this is absolutely the nuts...

  • Not that I don't like this cover,but,indeed,it sounds a 'lil weird...

    However,I find Metallica much more appropriate for this song...I don't know...maybe 'cause they are older...

  • Opeth raped this song in a bad way, but good try I guess.

  • I actually love this version. Not sure if more than the original, but it's still a good cover.

    Up the Irons, and Hail Opeth!

  • The speed takes all the magic from it.

  • metallica did a better job with their cover that went on the kerrang

  • this song is really famous :-]

  • the song is raped!!! up the irons!!!!

  • This song really brings Metallica to mind. Especially the solo, it's SO awesome, Metallica-style. But ofc Metallica is best. No-one beats Metallica to it. Metallica rule.

  • This song is reborn with this fantastic version... Thanks opeth

  • @giorgiocassa This song NEVER died!

  • @giorgiocassa Don't kid yourself - Iron Maiden is eternal.

  • This song got me into Opeth and it's not even theirs, now there isn't a day that passes without listening to Opeth :)

  • @Steldrum you can say that again!

  • anyone who says this is bad...I don't know...has no ears? this is just awesome, get over it....

  • @0MusicAddictedGirl0 Bad quality

  • @0MusicAddictedGirl0 Anyone who says this is bad is an Iron Maiden/MEtallica fanboy

  • @AtomicExplosion95695 well...hmmm...I'm an Maiden/Metallica fangirl too, but I find opeth and this cover awesome anyways :D because I'm an open minded bastard xD and a true music lover =)

  • Yeah ! I especially love the rythm of the drum !

  • Why is there always a debate about which cover is better? Opeth is fucking awesome and Iron maiden. Everyone knows Iron Maiden is a legend. Iron Maiden is the reason what converted me into metal.

  • i think a lot of people forget that a cover isnt supposed to be note for note the exact same thing, if it is, all you're really doing is changing the vocalist... that being said this is an awesome cover, i just dont think the maiden version rocks out as hard as this one, kinda like jimi hendrix and all along the watchtower, its a COMPLETELY different vision than the original

  • best interpretesion comes after paul dianno

    

  • This suck.

    No comparison with the original.

    The Metallica cover is way better.

  • @ThrashIsMyName I personally like the Anthrax Cover

    The Metallica one suck too much...

    UP THE IRONS

  • Opeth POUNDS MAiden in the ass

  • @djfrank203 worst comment ever...

  • People, you have to remember that this is Opeth's cover version of Iron Maiden's Remember Tomorrow and therefore it has to be in their own style.

    Why bother covering a book with a copy of the exact same cover? The only reason is if the initial cover was mutilated in some way. But was the book (in this case the song) mutilated in some way? No of course not. What Opeth did was draw a new cover of the book based on their own interptration of the story.

  • Why do all big bands cover this song ?

  • @TheDrunkenHer0 Because it inspired some of the biggest bands to play, dumbass....

  • @TheSilencer1313 Hey fuck you asshole, I was just wondering why this and not other songs

  • the best cover of this song is Crowbar - Remember Tomorrow, peace :P

  • Best cover of this song. Fuck Metallica, Fuck Anthrax.

  • @NashTer410 No, fuck Opeth....

  • Opeth's members are gods.

    That's all.

  • Metallica's one is okay. Opeth's cover and the original are the best!

  • amo a maiden, pero me gusta mas esta version k la original, i la de metallica ni la uvieran echo, bruce canta mucho mejor k james

  • @Re6e6g6rB creo q debes saber q bruce no canta esa cancion sino paul diano... lol

  • @slipknir tienes razon la original la kanta paul, simplemente se me paso aser referensia a cuando bruce la a cantado en vivo, me falto aser tmb esa distinsion, k sin embargo al no aserla no se mira bien el komentario en la forma en k lo ise

  • I miss harris

  • James sings it better hands down. ( talking about covers now, not the original ) But this is great too.

  • POYSONALLY! I perefers Metallica's Cover but Iron Maiden's is still the best by far

  • @DruumStixx you mispelled personaly

  • @gearsofwolf You too, idiot.

  • @MihaZ alright moron

  • @gearsofwolf Coming from the somebody who can't spell, it's almost funny.

  • @MihaZ ok? your the douchebag and im the idiot, yea that'll work man

  • @gearsofwolf How about you shut up already?

  • @MihaZ if you be the bigger man and dont respond i will

  • @gearsofwolf You got caught at your own little game by a random stranger. Say ''good one'', and get on with your life already instead of coming at me with insults. Sorry to break that down to you, but a smartass comment about grammar with obvious mistakes is just begging to be made fun of.

  • @MihaZ ay man atleasy i agreed with you saying im an idiot, im only 12

  • @MihaZ ay man atleasy i agreed with you saying im an idiot, im only 12

  • I love this version, but I also like the original.  This one is much faster!

  • PErsonally I prefer the Original.. but opeths cover is the best of them all...

  • Nice cover. Much better than the Metallica Cover

  • i like it

  • Personally I prefer the original

  • Comment removed

  • I like Iron Maiden, but I prefer this version of the song. Great cover!!!

  • no maiden , no opeth ?

  • @RPunke Good shout.

  • I didn't realize this was a cover, I thought this was the best song on My Arms Your Hearst. I haven't been able to find any tabs for the Opeth version of this song. Any have em?

  • @retrograderenegades How could you not know this is a Iron Maiden song? fuck sakes, like...

  • @FreshLondonBoy Maybe because I don't really listen to Iron Maiden? Amazing what we can deduce when using our brains.

  • @retrograderenegades aye, but how can anyone not listen to the irons...get to fuck son

  • @FreshLondonBoy Never got into em...yet I've seen them in concert on vh1 classics and it was awesome but I never really checked them out more than that.

  • @retrograderenegades download some of their albums lad they're quality

  • @FreshLondonBoy lol @ lad, I downloaded Number Of The Beast, have yet to listen to it though. I'll listen to the whole thing within the next day

  • I like it more than the original. Of course I'm an Opeth fanboy though...

  • @CrunkMcStuddles i like this version better and i love both bands. akerfeldt's voice is simply amazing.

  • @blackmetal1118 True fella, usually the original is best, but not always, (machine head's "hallowed.."?) but as much as I love Maiden, I agree his voice suits the song better.

  • They made it sound really "Opethish"

  • @IMMORTALGIRL4 that is the point of covers :]

  • @Argcz Yeah but some bands fail

  • @IMMORTALGIRL4 Yeah i dont like it all that much too

  • @IMMORTALGIRL4

    isn't that the point? you don't just want them to play an exact copy do you? otherwise you might as well listen to the original...

  • @stevekimbrey Yeah that's the point..meant to be a good thing by "opeth-ish" !

  • It was good, I love the Opeth sound, but it was just to different from the Maiden sound, that I love equally.

  • maiden rules cant wait for their new album. nice cover by the way...

  • i think it's too fast...

  • not bad...but still weird

  • Don't really like this cover somehow. It just sounds weird played by Opeth. They're here to rule the world by playing Progressive Death Metal, and their atmosphere just doesn't fit in a Maiden song imo :)

    And stop talking about metallica whenever there's even the tiniest bit of relation between the original video and that band, no one cares.

  • @BlackSunSerenade there is a relation between metallica and remember tomorrow, because metallica also covered it.

  • What makes this song THIS song is Paul Dianno and steves bass, But i cant say this isn't a good cover cuz it is

  • Iron Maiden was the original and no band that I've heard can compare to Paul DiAnno vocals but this is not bad

  • opeth <3

  • It's just amazing. Wish all Maiden covers would be this good <3 About 1000 times better than what metallica was able to do..

  • I disagree. You can't just rag on metallica because they did a typical version. It suits them and had the power that they use.

  • Great tribute to a great band \m/

  • Really good cover but i'd have to say Metallica's cover was better. The drums are really brought out along with the guitar and vocals.

  • opeth did this song a lot better than metallica of course it helps that they are better in every aspect anyways lol

  • Opeth is a better band as far as technical terms. Nobody compares to James as a frontman. Yes the version metallica does is better. I love opeth but Metallica has a more powerful drawing version.

  • @undericesinger

    metallica fucked that shit up in a bad way its horrible

  • @diaryofthedead yep, all you hear is snare snare and snare fill in

  • Disagree, when the fuck is new new blind guardian single coming out?

  • Holy shit this is amazing

  • great cover of a great band by a great band.

  • omfg awesome <3

  • I cann't find word to this. Amazing!!!

  • Covers shouldnt be carbon copies they get that Hoorah for Opeth!!

  • No Harris bassline, no Remember Tomorrow.

  • @gostillerz ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

  • ok sorry guys you are right!!! btw this cover is amazing!!! xD

  • This cover absolutely kicks ass.

  • It's hilarious. If a metal song somehow is "connected" to Metallica, people always argue about at least 3 things. Burton, Mustaine and Justice

  • and megadeth xD

  • Man Metallica's and Opeth's covers of this are fucking awesome. It's a shame all Maiden covers can't be this high of standard, and not like Run to the Hills on the Kerrang album. Holy fuck that was the biggest embarressment ever. If I was Steve Harris I would of flipped if someone did that to my song

  • @BlessureK I have to say sorry for the behalf of Icelanders, we are not proud of that emo fucker that raped that song...

  • You should hear the Run to the Hills cover by Sign on Maiden Heaven album... one of my friends went into a bloodrage.

  • METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN and then everything else....

  • well is good, but of course Maiden is way over this

  • Amazing!

  • what a fuckin' great performance from Akerfeldt!

  • Those were the times when Opeth ran for metal.

  • what do u mean?

  • @thavador what do they run for nowadays?

  • today they are running for something more sterile, immaterialized

    nothing you're able to feel power within, in my opinion

  • 0:57 just sounds like the drums went out of time

    and 1:54 sounds like the demo version of Metallica's "The Four Horsemen" when he says:

    "or choose your fate and DIEEEEEEEEEE oh yeah-e-yeah"

    and this version of the solo just isnt good imo, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

  • I don't even like this song all that much but Opeth do a great job on it. But Kirks does the best solo out of all the versions.

  • One of the greatest songs ever written covered by one of the best bands of our time!

  • 1) Iron Maiden

    ...

    and that's all :P

  • Sorry Opeth owns both Metallica and Maiden.

  • sorry but nobody owns maiden

  • I honestly can't put Opeth or Maiden in front of eachother. They are both completely different bands, I like them both the same.

    For me its:

    1)Opeth/Maiden

    2)Everything else that is good

    3)Everything that sucks

    But everyone has their own opinions.

  • Much better than original! and Obeth dont have to come close do maiden they just made this song to sound Opeth.

  • great cover

  • I would put Metallica in third place, maiden in first and opeth in second, but still good opinion =D

  • i've heard both this and the Metallica versions of this song and tbh they're both fuckin' great imo only those two bands could come close to doing a Maiden song as well as Maiden:)

  • Though nobody can come close to Iron Maiden, this is a fuckin GOOD cover.

  • only Opeth can come close to Iron Maiden

  • Maybe SLAYER will cover this song next

  • Opeth Rules

  • Perfect thıs songg.................oooooooo­ooooo yeeeeaahhhhh

  • ffs peoples its not TOO fast, its simply fast...its the opeth version, not the original or watever.

    Its Opeth!!...First time i hear micheal screaming that way (1:54) sounds weird at first :P...but overall a really nice cover.
