Flash of the Blade - Iron Maiden

[lukea96]

You know, all you assholes complaining about A7X and modern metal should really look into what matters. With the way the mainstream music industry has shifted, be lucky that metal still exists! When Iron Maiden were in their prime it was 30 years ago! Things change, styles fade, but in the end it's still music. And A7X is just one of the many contributions to today's metal. Simply put, gtf over it, stop whining on a public post of a song not even BY the artist your bagging. Good day.

[jojollamaluva]

fucking LOVE this song. UP THE IRONS!!!!!

[lyleandkylerock]

This song is fucking orgasmic!

Ohh how i love maiden <3

[infamous6925]

Iron Maiden and Avenged Sevenfold are easily the two best bands in the world right now

[carloz1536]

@infamous6925 Rhapsody of fire destroys both bands especially that pussy ass a7x band.

[Bojangulz87]

Everytime I type this song into youtube it comes up with flash of the 'blades' instead of blade. Is everyone fucking thick or something? There must have been a few retards typing it in wrong for it to be stored and there be no option for the real name.

[TheBeastKing22]

not their best song, but Iron Maiden rules! Up the Irons from Michigan!

[TheLovetocatchbass]

ewwww what the fuck is this shit? ill tell you what i think it is, i think its the worlds worst band singing the worst song ever writen. this is so shitty if i had a option of shooting myself in the head or listening to this for 2 hours id just shoot myself in the head instead of listening to this shit people falsly call good music. fuck this band and fuck anyone who likes it. this shitty stuff is like 20x as bad as rebecka black friday which nearly kills whoever hears it. shittiest band ever

[TheBeastKing22]

@TheLovetocatchbass that's your opinion.

[slyfox3333]

@TheLovetocatchbass Man, you are like the worst troll ever. Give it more effort next time instead of calling every1 faggots.

[VeraceSzK]

Fuck that emo pussy Avenged Fuckfold bullshit. Iron Maiden forever!

[mejso77]

@VeraceSzK and you call yourself metalhead ? why that hate ? avenged makes good hard music, as well as iron maiden do

[VeraceSzK]

@mejso77 Avenged Sevenfold makes whiney kiddy music. It's not real metal, it's just bad. I like real metal: BNWHM, Folk Metal, Power Metal, Black Metal, Thrash, etc.

[VeraceSzK]

@mejso77 Most American bands today are really bad.

[TCrochesterskater]

people are stupid maiden inspired most heavy metal bands today A7X is just the one who has the heavier influence if yu havent notice theyre guitaring and rythm very similar becuase sevenfold looks up to maiden

[arkanaarka]

A7X sounds are with Total Power ! Irons makes me bored ;/ And M.Shadows vocals is better ... Like he has telling a legend with brilliant accent , but Glory to Iron Maiden ! \m/

[A1pHACHARg3]

ironmaidenfan4eva? wouldnt be my first choice but its a fuck of a lot better than "beiberloverbitchuntilihitpube­rtyandrealizehedoesntlovemeorc­areaboutmeandhismusicsucks2342­3"

in other news, UP THE IRONS!

[shafta99]

steve harris is rocking the bass on this.

[akerswizard779]

Shut up about who did better ><

Listen to the one you like better and leave it at that.

Fuckers.

[sniperslayer95]

@akerswizard779 Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[666CANNIBALCHRIS666]

A7X SUCKS BIG COCK , THIS IS REAL METAL , AND DONT TALK ABOUT FAGGOT ASS A7X ON AN IRON MAIDEN VIDEO

[a7xChicago07]

@666CANNIBALCHRIS666 u obviously dont know the definition of music..or u need a hearing aid

[666CANNIBALCHRIS666]

@a7xChicago07 ITS ALL ABOUT HEAVY METAL , THRASH , DEATHMETAL , SPEEDMETAL , AND BLACKMETAL . A7X IS A BUNCH OF EMOS WIT EYE LINER , STRIAGHTENING THERE HAIR LIKE PUSSIES AND TEHY SUCK

[Tacoskittles]

@666CANNIBALCHRIS666 kill yourself sir,

[AnnoyingSpoon]

@666CANNIBALCHRIS666 Nice facts you get there, Too bad they're all wrong.

[BSmasterXD]

@666CANNIBALCHRIS666 wow you clearely never listened to avenged sevenfold it's not emo you retard.

[TholomewPlague28]

@666CANNIBALCHRIS666 Iron Maiden loved the cover, actually.

[GuitarsRgood]

@666CANNIBALCHRIS666 tell me, what's the difference between what A7X sings about and what Iron Maiden sings about? of course they're very different bands, but they have similar elements. have you even listed to a full song by A7X?

[FinlandiMikko]

@666CANNIBALCHRIS666 am i only one who agrees with 666CANNIBALCHRIS666 ? :D

[KitaxNekoSama57]

@FinlandiMikko Yes, Gtfo. And Take him with you.

[xNIGHTMAR3HD]

what people dont get is Iron Maiden influenced Avenged Sevenfold. thats why they made a cover. i like both versions

[thecaptaincornflake]

I actually like Avenged Sevenfold's version better

[remiisapowerslave]

i don't give a shit, fuck a7x, c'mon if they're paying tribute to maiden by dressing like emos and wiggers. mallcore deserves to fade away.

[DeadlyFUCKINGzebra]

I consider it an honor to be born on the same planet as Iron Maiden

[Zectry2314]

Will people stop complaining about Avenged Sevenfold's version...I like the Iron Maiden version and i like A7x's. To me they're both great and they're both great bands. If you dont like them then just don't listen and comment on them.

[m1che1]

Has Maiden ever played this song live?

[allthatgirlcoronado]

a7x= poser

[ironmavis]

@allthatgirlcoronado yes i love you

[xS14Y3Rx]

i dont like Avenged sevenfold (please stop with the abbreviation, thats what i think is stupid) but they did a good cover of this song.

[ArthurPSunflower]

Stop getting so pissy that a band covered this song, it's imbecilic.

[fusionfall34]

great music not bad thelovetooatohbass

[TheLovetocatchbass]

terrible music

[serenidade007]

A7X: 7,5/10

IM: 11/10

[whyallaguru]

Saying a certain band can suck your dick is just a show of how much of a cunt you are. So you don't like someone elses music, just because YOU don't doesn't mean other people don't. Have your opinion but don't be a cunt about it because you give a bad name to the Metal fanbase.

[gianthrasher1]

que pedaso de tema y que discaso!! maiden siempre tuvo ese sonido que lo diferencio de las demas bandas de heavy metal.. saludos desde Argentina

[samlefreak]

Avenged sevenfold can suck my dick

[rhysp499]

@unforgivenXheart you can get the Avenged version on the Iron Maiden tribute CD

[TheSlipknotdude69]

@rhysp499 fuck off and die rhys !

[stefanolovato666]

soundtrack of Phenomena



[seriu123]

@LoScapy idk, both are incredible, but to me Children of the Damned makes "the number of the beast" the #1.

[LoScapy]

I think that "powerslave" album can be better than "the number of the beast"... if it can be possible... Simply fantastic!

[kerickwalters]

Iron Maiden forever!!!

[serenidade007]

I love A7X, but this song is better than the cover.

[slyfox3333]

@serenidade007 Well duh, the original is always better.

[Nichts8]

2:56 Fuckin love it!! \m/

[mejso77]

A7X made this cover to honor Iron Maiden and they made it great ! A7X will be a legend like Iron Maiden, i have no doubts

[TheRippingCorpse]

@mejso77 Haha!!!! That is the funniest thing I have ever read on YouTube!!!!!

[DioandMaiden]

@mejso77 You ... Fail hahaha.The vocals on that cover are garbage.

[xhatemailx]

@DioandMaiden opinions are like assholes everyone has one

[Apothtolith]

@mejso77 hehe pour kiddo. they want be even close : (

[Apothtolith]

@Apothtolith wont*

[ghostae138]

@mejso77 Good comment... It's hard to find people who like BOTH these days! lol

People need to realize that bands like A7X are simply our generation's contribution to Metal. The elitism needs to end, it just makes people sound old haha :P

[slyfox3333]

@mejso77 They will never surpass the gods of metal \m/

[thychaos]

i hate it when bands release covers on their albums. if they want to do covers thats fine, theyre interesting to hear sometimes (megadeths cover of paranoid is awesome), but it seems like putting covers on albums is just a cheap way of getting another song on there. i want to hear some original music on a bands album, not someone else's.

[unforgivenXheart]

@thychaos avenged never released this on an actual studio album, the only way to get their cover of this song is to either by it on itunes or buy their live dvd that has extras and other crap including the B-sides to their self titled album

[Cackapillar]

Avenged are one of my favourite bands, but you can't beat the original version. Epic song.

[iGenesisxD]

This is great, cause I absolutely LOVE both Iron Maiden and Avenged Sevenfold <3

[Saamus13A7X]

Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band but i think Iron maiden is much better 

[MastodonAD]

I like the guitar more on this version, and the vocals are more theatrical. Drums on the A7X are stronger in my opinion though.

[dtbjjrb]

All you fucking assholes saying Avenged Sevenfold sucks are what I just called you, fucking assholes. They don't sound too similar and I'll be honest with you, Matt Shadows's voice didn't at ALL sound like Bruce Dickinson, so that cover wasn't that good...BUT you can't just compare these two bands. That's like saying " Fuck Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy page is way better" or "Fuck Kirk Hammett, Jimi Hendrix is way better"

[Balanar996]

@dtbjjrb You like avenged sevenfold? Go stick them up your ass as far as im concerned,but gtfo with them on Iron Maiden videos. Nuff said,fag.

[dtbjjrb]

@Balanar996 Lol too bad you REALLY can't control my life. I love making people mad by simply using the internet :D now fuck off and enjoy Flash of the Blade.

[Balanar996]

@dtbjjrb Well thats what I said. Why do you bring up avenged sevenfold on maiden vids? If you like em so much,go listen to them and dont comment here how everyone is an asshole :)

[dtbjjrb]

@Balanar996 Because they are an inspiration to them. Imagine if you started a band and wanted to do a cover of one of their songs. That's exactly what they did.

[DK6Marius]

Been said already here, but I feel that while Avenged Sevenfold is a good band, they just can't compete with Maiden, Iron Maiden is to Avenged Sevenfold what Dio is/was to Killswitch Engage, and if you don't understand that then you shouldn't even be here. \m/

[dtbjjrb]

@DK6Marius YES.

[mateo0123]

@DK6Marius exactly

[AbyssaltheArgonian]

Who gives a fuck about Avenged Sevenfold.Screw them.This is Maiden.

[dtbjjrb]

@AbyssaltheArgonian I give a fuck.

[perfectdarkzero01]

Iron maiden and a7x arent even related in anyway.

a7x used metallica as a example to run off of.

SO why comare them?

They sound nowhere near the same as eachother

(up the irons forever though)

[brucedickinsonWARD]

why the top coments is about avenge....pussy ....,this is only malefic goods IRON MAIDEN bitchis!!!!



[VollyTyrannis]

Iron Maiden > Avenged Sevenfold

Iron Maiden < Avenged Sevenfold

Iron Maiden = Avenged Sevenfold

[luckyarmybabe]

oh god i dooooo love this song! its like sex... epic...

[pratolli]

The intro can cure the cancer

[vivirty]

quit hating

you call youself metalheads

Metal Heads dnt bash other metal Bands

If we dnt like them we dont talk about them Plain simple

I love Iron Maiden

But A7x isnt bad

But the are no FUCKING Maiden on roids

[yoshibreeder]

@vivirty exactly !!

[trololol011]

@vivirty but we may bash A7X because they ar more -core than metal

/thread

(on contrary, A7X is not BAD band but, i just dislike them and whole metalcore genre, it's like melodeath metal but gayer)

[cjdstruction1]

@trololol011but wha- whoah waaaaaiit a minute your are troll, never mind

[jaredqwerty]

it really makes me sad to come to an iron maiden vid and see people talking about a7x :(

Iron maiden is amazing.

a7x is for faggots. plus they need to stop stealing overkill's mascot.

[LoLKingdom360]

@jaredqwerty So you are calling me a faggot . . .

That is nice.

[jaredqwerty]

@LoLKingdom360 well not to you exclusively... but now i am.

faggot.

[LoLKingdom360]

@jaredqwerty

Why so much hate for A7X.

[jaredqwerty]

@LoLKingdom360 cause they're for faggots.

fucking hot topic cock sucker "metal".

talented musicians, but the music they make together sounds like two men pounding each other in the ass.

[LoLKingdom360]

@jaredqwerty

Can you make your statement more clear as to why you think their music sucks without saying THEY suck.

Ex:Scream too much, simple riffs/solos, sounds like lulu.

[jaredqwerty]

@LoLKingdom360 their first two albums were decent, but then when they pulled a 180 and completely changed their sound is when i got a real distaste for them. as i said before, they are great musicians, synyster gates can really shred, but the music they create together just doesn't do it at all for me.

they copied overkill's mascot, and they take riffs from other bands, tweak a note or two in them, and sell them as their own.

plus their appearance and the whole stage name thing is ridiculous.

[LoLKingdom360]

@jaredqwerty

Now THAT is a good reason.

I could actually agree with you.

But I did'nt like NIGHTMARE that much.

You still can't disagree that Waking The Fallen was BEAST!

[FLESxRUOYxLLIK]

@jaredqwerty lol i remember seeing iron maiden shirts at hot topic years ago

[jaredqwerty]

@FLESxRUOYxLLIK stupid comment is stupid.

[thecatonice]

The top comments gave me AIDS.

[metalhead12311]

iron maiden on steroids? iron maiden>all =*

[LtwbMarck]

Iron Maiden > Avenged Sevenfold.

Avenged Sevenfold is pretty damn good (just listen to their guitarists) but will NEVER be on the same level as Maiden.

[YamamotoKaiyoshi]

@LtwbMarck You stole my words, sir!

[ChEvApEr]

@LtwbMarck THAT SHIT ISNT EVEN POSSIBLE FUCK OFF WITH AVANGED SEVENFOLD GAY SHIT!

UP THE IRONS!

[dtbjjrb]

@ChEvApEr They aren't even in the same era. How the fuck can you even compare them??

[Br0ny4ev3r]

@LtwbMarck yeh i love a7x but Iron Maiden is the best there is

[woweasyguides]

@LtwbMarck Well... A7X is inspired by them so yeah, duh, derp.

[braebrice]

wow little kids know nothing I swear.....DONT EVEN PUT A7X IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS IRON MAIDEN

[TheHanafymm]

@braebrice yo chill, we all have different tastes no big deal, to each his own.

[EviscerationK]

@braebrice Well done for contradicting yourself there mate :)

[braebrice]

@EviscerationK okay.. well with the exception of that one sentence lol

[EpikNinjuh22]

@braebrice why all the hate for A7x?

[Aar0nPunx123]

@braebrice what the fuck did you just do?? put A7X in the same sentence as Iron Maiden..

[arkan205]

@braebrice finally! some sanity in this place...

[XxTopHeistxX]

@braebrice Sorry, but you did put A7X in the same sentence as well as I did.

[ArthurPSunflower]

@braebrice Wow, all caps, you must be super serial!

[afoolisharrangement]

That piece of shit band AX7 is maiden on steroids?? God I hate you fucking 14year old ASSHOLES, no wonder metal is in the shitter , if you idiots can compare such a legendary band with those fucking homos...if i was maiden i would sue that shit band for murdering our song, you losers dont deserve to listen to such amazing bands like maiden and priest, stick to good charlotte, AX7,and green day losers!!!

[braebrice]

@afoolisharrangement A FUCKING MEN

[Legitbagel2552]

@afoolisharrangement i agree with you and im 14

[fffoooREVeeerrr]

I decided to join this argument against Iron Maiden vs. Avenged Sevenfold. Pandas.

[TheHanafymm]

@fffoooREVeeerrr you automatically win the arguement

[ThroughRock]

@fffoooREVeeerrr Very good argument.

[HungSolo360]

a7x is fucking gay

[TheHanafymm]

@HungSolo360 hmmm i dont see anything here in their bio about them bieng homosexual hmmm

[woweasyguides]

@HungSolo360 Your fucking gay you slack jawed faggot.

[Redghost124]

lulz guyz. a7x has stated that they are heavily influenced by both Iron Maiden AND Metallica. both the original and remake are both amazing! There's no reason to compare! Why discredit one band under another?

[94LarsUlrich]

A7x Is Nice But Iron Maiden Are the Masters of Metal Can't Compare ...

[ApostlesOfSin]

why doesn't this have more views? I love this song!!!!

[TheThanandros]

IRONMAIDEN is still producing new material mates!! This is a Testament to how great they are! Bruce still has the range from 25 years ago - Adrian and Dave have never betraid the MAIDEN sound- Steve is still creative as he was in 78- Nico is still crazy - Janik is still Nuts! UP~THE~IRONS!!

[DaniiMarieeHatton]

Love both this & A7X's cover of the song!

Original is clearly better, but I love them both just as much :) xo

[qbanitoloco]

Can you faggots understand one thing? IRON MAIDEN Influenced A7X in many ways (look up who influenced the band) A7x Made a COVER of this song, They didnt want to prove anything. And all you avanged sevenfold haters can go suck a big cock. Flamers gun' Flame

[bandguy360]

ya cuz someones sexuality totally has an effect on their musical talant.... cmon guys

[letoniosan]

avenged sevenfold are gays, posers!!!

[ricardoleony]

avenged sevenfold is nothing close to this

[grayfox311]

this should be the theme song for skyrim

[LightningRix98]

The intro was the same fucking tone! ILOVEIRONMAIDENANDAVENGEDSEVEN­FOLD foREVer!

[Devilain56]

I think they both sound amazing, this one sounds more jazzed up than A7X's although I love the rev's singing in the A7X one, it just sounds amazing. If you like the A7x one because of The Rev's singing, I would like to suggest the band Pinkly Smooth, it was The Rev's side project. As to this song, I love it a lot, both versions have their own strengths and weaknesses.

[MrGiraffe2012]

i like the drums in A7X better

[popcicle1423]

i love a7x. but i like the original much much better. no question.

[A7XGirl1211]

I have a love for both iron maiden and avenged sevenfold :3

[antdigger]

These guys ripped off Avenged Sevenfold.

[zeroman6]

@antdigger THIS is from 1984, douche. Iron Maiden came YEARS before your little Emo band. Oh, and I'm glad that the Rev died.

[RyuSeiko]

@zeroman6 Don't listen to this kid Antdigger. Your wrong but he's still a Troll.

[pkpheanix7]

@zeroman6 That just makes you sound like an asshole, and emo? their too mainstream to be emo.

[SkateNGame16]

@antdigger Maiden beats avenged faggot fold any day and maiden wouldnt rip off anything from a shitty band like them. They got it from maiden. Just like Cradle of Filth Fear of the Dark, and Children of Bodom Aces High. Two good bands. Avenged sucks

[TheCrankyCow]

@SkateNGame16 COF cover of Hallowed be thy name sucked harry ball sack. It completely lacked any of the feeling of the original. Atleast A7F gets the mood right

[LoLKingdom360]

@antdigger And THESE GUYS will rip off your balls and crush them in a Flash of a Blade

[Dinac47]

swords and sandals anyone? BTW awsome songs :D

[Umbreon17]

Love this song...though I like Rhapsody of Fire's version better...more symphonic

[GekeyVocals]

@Umbreon17 Same.

[drewkirkhouse]

@thegreatninjaman the album is powerslave

[Moonchild666Ed]

I just love this song

[gogoasacuvanilie]

I don't know why you bully A7X

I mean, they did a pretty good cover and they are an good band.

And these "new" bands like A7X are what keeps metal alive, 'cause if they didn't exist, all the teens would listen to "the-one-who-shouldn't-be-call­ed" .

For example, I start listening rock/metal from Linkin Park(I know they're not metal, but that's what got me into metal)

[alxon99]

@gogoasacuvanilie

Yea, I agree. And these bands are still awesome, but they are getting old, or will get old soon, so we need bands like A7X to keep them alive.

Btw, Linkin Park are kinda metal, and they also got me into metal.

[bourneclone]

both are great bands, and both did an awesome job with this song. 'nuff said.

[thegreatninjaman]

albums name please? i cant read that font on the picture.

[TheSeboss5]

3 dislike?

WTF? I fuck them

[xFallenEmericax]

Yeah iron maiden!

Yeah avenged sevenfold!

I love both :D

[robmilsom]

All that blood loss from cutting themselves has caused a major lack of blood to the part of the brain that controls judgement so it causes them from falling under the mishapprehension that A7X are actually good! STUPID FUCKING EMOS!

UP THE IRONS!

[J3ZZB3CK]

FU a7x you are all a bunch of fags, and you probably only think a7x are good because you have lost alot of blood because you cut yourselves! FUCKING EMOS!

UP THE IRONS!!!

[robmilsom]

i am really amazed by the amount of replies I got from that 1 comment months ago, i think i'm gonna make annoying a7x fans my new hobby :)

[FUNNYDUDEFILMS]

@robmilsom You are now a troll

[bandguy360]

avenged sevenfold is iron maiden on steroids i lve both bands to the max

[SexLeppardMaster]

@bandguy360 No, Agent Steel IS Iron Maiden on meth and steroids

[tokorev747777]

@bandguy360 -_-

[ShokanPrince812]

@bandguy360 Avenged sevenfold is iron maiden if they liked dick.
