This is the first time I'm hearing this cover. I've loved the original for a long time now. I understand why lots of you might like this one more, It's more polished and clean and if you love Powerwolf they can do no wrong. However I prefer the original a bit more for being more rawand for being the first version I've heard

[@ElekiSerket]

The original will always be the best, but god damn this is a badass supreme cover

[@balazsfenyes3880]

I can barely hear any difference from the Running Wild version. The vocal is pretty much the same.

[@saintsandeels7093]

I love Running Wild but this cover is brilliant.

[@alaindurocher1413]

listen the cover they make of Judas Priest

[@zeppelinled3967]

[@hefenzy]

It will be interesting if they cover Chastain

Attila is magnifico in this great RW cover

[@malevolentdefiance2901]

Awesome cover! I've had it on loop like for 3 hours 🤘😎🤘

[@240GLT9]

Funny, I’ve just got into Powerwolf and quickly discovered this was my favourite song of theirs, it reminded me of the style I love of running wild - turns out it’s actually a cover! 🤘

[@wishesandfishes]

Enjoyed this much more than I thought I would!

[@nopt8191]

Portuguese and Spanish conquistadores the best soldiers in the world

[@pithhelmet3717]

This is honestly one of those rare moments where I think the cover is better than the original.

[@Pandareen]

I sadly disagree not because i favorite one band over another, because this cover sounds soft compared to original, only the mastering of song is better done that's it.

[@chrisvnv73]

@Pandemonium Doom I actually have no idea why I wrote that. I guess it was meant as a response to the guy that said nor Hitler? I don't know. I wasn't disagreeing with you. I guess I was just tired or something.

[@statoilbensin2190]

Well this version is if course another genre. Since Power Wolf is melodic (epic) power metal and Running Wild is basic power metal no keyboards to be exact!

[@timdoe95]

Is it just me or does the intro sound like "Rain" from the original Age of Empires ost?

conquistadores*

[@TheAleatoryUser]

Using English grammar would be "conquistadors" because the word they are borrowing is "conquistador" so it's correct even if in Spanish would be "conquistadores". Take into account the word "atrezzo" for example, in Italian the plural would be "attrezzi" but in Spanish we don't use that but "atrezzos" and that's it. It's the same thing in English.

[@stepanpekar6419]

Grammar dosent matters in this case - Its cover song and you shuld use the name of the song in original form and thats "Conquistadores" .)

[@giuseppeusai6891]

Forteeeeeee

[@ハファエル_風魔]

¡VIVA LA ESPAÑA !

[@MrPedroHCampos]

ハファエル_風魔 I think you don't understood the song... the Spanish murdered, kill and rape all those people... ¡A la mierda España, Viva los Aztecas y los Incas!

[@Rickybaba96]

Pedro H. Campos LOL, speaks of Spaniards killing and raping, says viva to a slave empire (much worse than Spain or any European) that sacrificed people to the Gods. The Incas were the same but less hardcore. Viva Europa, bringing civilisation to the Americas.

[@MrPedroHCampos]

Rickybaba96 The Incas's religion was a violent one, the Christians speak loud and clear about love and peace, but they fucked up the Africa and South America... using the Bible to justify the atrocities and to say that all of those people are inferior.

[@Rickybaba96]

Pedro H. Campos Africa and America were already violent, European imperialism is nothing new, just on a larger scale. The modern nations of most continents were built by those Europeans, not natives who to be honest accomplished very little in terms of development (America and Africa) . Africans have no excuse for their backward ways either, they had both Arabic and European influences and still managed to flop, very few benefits to humanity with the most influencial Africans being born and raised in the America's. Especially USA. Anyway, European imperialism long term progressed humanity centuries ahead. Viva Europa.

[@Rickybaba96]

Pedro H. Campos LOL I never said Africans and Americans didn't have empires. And anyway, I thought imperialism was bad? LOL. American and African empires were just pathetic in comparison to Europeans. Take western Africa for example, both Mali and Songhai empires controlled a landmass the size of the whole of western Europe combined with a rich environment that supplied basically all you need for a prosperous civilisation. Name me one great innovation from these people. Seriously. Something comparable to Europe, Middle East or Asian accomplishments. Mind you these empires only became rich and powerful through the enslavement of their neighbours (Other blacks) and most importantly their conversion to Islam brought some kind of civilised views in Scholarship. There is nothing of worth that came out of Pre Columbian America apart from some archetectual wonders. Understand? Also, do not call everyone you disagree with a nazi, it's pathetic. Modern day pussies like you make me sick, you ignore history and reject that of which you do not understand just to make yourself feel better. Speak of violence and then threaten others with violence when you choose to be ignorant. The Americans were doomed from the start due to their geographical position. If you understood history, geography and politics you'd know that. Sub Saharan Africans could've made more progress, they did not due to inferior culture. Eurasians, from the west to east developed at a faster rate due to warfare and trade creating a constant struggle for dominance which projected their societies and cultures forward. There's a reason why the middle east spawned the first advanced civilisations. If you took your head out your arse for two seconds you could see more than the shit opinions you have. Imperialism has launched us forward in terms of development across history, Europeans were simply the last ones who created the globalised world you seem to take for granted. In terms of Christianity, the argument used to ban slavery on a universal level to which had never been seen before was based on Christian values. Thanks to European imperialism slavery which had existed for most of human history ended. Humanism has its roots in Christianity as well. Those fairy tales inspired millions to stop slavery, something no other religion was able to do. Viva Europa.

[@александрсемененко-м6з]

Мало чем отличается от оригинала.

[@terminator572]

ehhh… the correct word would be "Conquistadores", but whatever.

[@agp11001]

You don't use the native language's grammar when you use a foreign word. So since the text is in english, "conquistador" and its plural are subject to the rules of English grammar, hence the omission of the "e". It's similar to english words in German, where, for example, the plural of "hobby" is not "hobbies" but "hobbys".

[@RedDuke42]

Spaniard here - I agree completely.
