Hallowed Be Thy Name

[@SatanicRiff]

Everyone saying his vocals can't replace Bruce's... He isn't trying to be Bruce!!! He is being himself putting an original twist on a classic from a legendary band.

[@slayer04031974]

Thank you!! \m/

[@VictorUtanQ]

Comment of the year!

[@RSProduxx]

if that´s all they can find, ... well that just tells me that this cover is as flawless as they get :)

[@eddypohoreskey6977]

Clashing Entertainment hell ya i happen to think its awsome..

[@brentonparris4551]

Clashing Entertainment it's suppose too be different. The whole point of the entitlement of a covet, but yes they all did a great job!

[@nickbarkybark]

Hands down, the best Maiden cover ever.

[@AlmostFamous54]

+Nick Barker nyah ..cradle of filth's is the best cover

[@avnish00]

+Shishir sapkota dfferent genres, COF is symphonic.

[@avnish00]

+Prodigal Son pretty sure each genre transcends its own rating.

[@AlmostFamous54]

i love COF and i was just expressing my view ..

[@minotauruskt]

+Nick Barker nah

[@yvoheaton6402]

This isn't some tin pot pub cover band. Its a band that are right at the top of the tree paying homage to another band they admire and take inspiration from. Putting their own slant on another song. Great in every way....

[@boeuf-in9oe]

I've gotta admit, I like this better than the original.

[@countroshculla]

[@jacklane512]

“Hallowed Be Thy Name “ is my all-time favorite song …ever !!! Maiden is the champ , but Machine Head’s version is outstanding !!!

[@RahulEdvin]

I'm a die hard Maiden Fan. I have to admit Machine Head has fuckin Nailed it. Phenomenal Stuff. This is how you cover an epic song by a legendary band. Well done Machine Head!

[@Chris-lz1fs]

Yep, been a fan myself since 1988 and this is a real tribute to Maiden!

[@darkodemark656]

[@attilakurucz3356]

First time I`m hearing this because of Maiden and I need to admit this is a true masterpiece. Machine Head deserves my respect, not only because of this cover song

[@RH-bd5qe]

machine head is easily one of the most underrated bands ever imo

[@galileogalilei6936]

They’re a pretty mainstream metal band they’re not that underrated

[@adamrodriguez5614]

@@galileogalilei6936as someone who just got into metal a few years ago nobody talks about this band I just discovered them last year the blackening is amazing

[@MultiGrabber]

Yes, this song must live forever, be passed to younger ones and played through ages.

[@HeavyMetalBear11]

I want this as my funeral song. 7 minutes of people wondering about the kind of shit I was into.

[@timostoneage]

Better than the original in my humble opinion! Love it!!!

[@plualumanevko2194]

Thinking the same thing

[@MrBobixxx]

Paul Lumannev No way :) Bruce have briliant voice , drums by Nico is a ls a lot of better / But of course everyone can have opicion . Heavy Metal !

[@logangraybz]

Bogdan Zych Clive Burr played drums on Maiden's version. Nicko wasn't in the band yet.

[@MrBobixxx]

Yes, but i mean that Nicko drum this song better in live version.

[@misfit2022]

Brian Gray I concur. Also Clive Burr was the best drummer Iron Maiden ever had. I used to spend hours playing along to him. Great groove and feel. He had so much natural ability. Also his 16th notes on the hi hat work perfectly. Transferring them to the bass drums as above just does not work for me. Proof that if you are going to cover Iron Maiden pre Nicko stick with Clive as he just sounds better and that is because he plays better.

[@CybrosisEvolved]

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low Running low, yeah! When the priest comes to read me the last rites Take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be that there's some sort of error? Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end, not some crazy dream? Somebody, please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming The words escape me when I try to speak Tears flow, but why am I crying? After all, I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you" If there's a God, why has he let me go? As I walk, my life drifts before me Though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away Mark my words, believe my soul lives on Don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to seek the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah-yeah-yeah, hallowed be thy name Yeah-yeah-yeah, hallowed by thy name Yeah

[@HumamBahoo]

this is the best cover that has ever been done

[@meneocuskill3371]

I absolutely agree .... a masterpiece!

[@beardfish8]

This is one of my favorite maiden covers, if you enjoy this check out Naglfar's version of "The Evil That Men Do" off of the Vittra album. If you enjoy black metal it's a classic cover!

[@lorenzomidabatacchi5342]

True

[@FluffyDonkey]

Tool's version of no quarter? Thoughts?

[@crisrockerm6554]

[@gastongabrielsosa8968]

I love this cover, I like it more than the original, seems more "manly" with Robb's awesome voice.

[@bloodrage6376]

+George Nikeas Me too.I like original,but i also like this cover it has more headbang power than original :D

[@metalfanatic]

+George Nikeas You guys are comparing a heavy metal band to a groove/thrash band. So of course this version is going to be heavier. But nothing can beat the original which was done over 30 years ago. These guys were still in high school when it was released.

[@gastongabrielsosa8968]

+metalfanatic I'm not comparing it, I'm just saying that I like it more, It's personal taste, I personally enjoy death/black metal more than anything, I kinda dislike clean voices, even more the high pitched ones, like power metal, but it's my taste, not saying that one song is better than the other, because it's art, and there is no competition between them. If you like the original song more, then good for you, I respect it. We're all metalheads so let's just enjoy.

[@metalfanatic]

Oh i'm definitely saying the original is better than this. You can't beat the emotion of it. It takes you to another place, as if you were there. It's a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I'm not a fan of MH i just don't like their style. Bands like Maiden are very special to me. I love thrash and some death metal but good old fashioned heavy metal is my obsession. But you're right, to each his own. Listen to whatever makes your head bang! \m/

This is one of the best Iron Maiden covers I've ever heard. Truly did the song justice. Totally badass, Machine Head should cover an Iron Maiden album in its entirety.

[@user-hy6hd3ke6h]

This band was so good.

[@MrMaybe1]

Machine Head should do a entire album of Maiden covers... that would be Awesome :D

[@martindeuce118]

An entire cover of Number of the Beast with Machine Head !?!? I think that would be a awesome challenge .. If they can play the rest of that album as good as this , i will go through fire and water .. Unless the water is too cold.. I have deep respect for Bruce D.. But have to say this : Machine Head kicks ass here with this cover... In my opinion ; the vokal is a bit better.. not meaning that the original sucks , i love that too but there is a bit more ass kicking in this one but again; that's just my opinion

[@a6nenad]

+Martin deuce I've heard a few good covers recently and have come to believe that sometimes it is not the original creators that can present their creation in its full glory. In my opinion 'hallowed be thy name' should sound like this and Machine Head have made that happen...they have improved on perfection. Long way of saying I agree with you :)

[@AlaricAranEdhel]

+C Galhano Much better than Iron Maiden itself ^-^

[@MrVepe47]

+a6nenad I think the Cradle of Filth also made a good version of Hallowed be thy name. But i think the Iron Maiden's version is still the best and it's probably my favorite song of all time.

I've listened to Iron Maiden since I was very little so when I found out 'some' band covered this I was VERY skeptic. But this cover totally blew me away completely after just a few seconds, especially the singing. Now 3,5 years later, Machine Head is my favorite band for quit some time....

As days go by metal is dying to comercial success, and few bands hold the true meaning of metal. This is one of them.

[@brandontadday6288]

+Ricardo Barata I don't think Metal is dying to commercial success. In the last half a decade or so I think there has been a huge shift and return for a lot of bands to the roots of NWOBHM, Thrash, Death and Black Metal stuff. Metal is as strong and healthy as ever! I agree though, Machine Head are tops.
