Maiden Heaven track listing revealed!

Following on from our 2006 Kerrang! Remastered CD in honour of Metallica's Master Of Puppets, this latest collection - Maiden Heaven - features bands covering tracks from Iron Maiden's legendary career, and will be given away free with Kerrang! issue 1219, on sale July 16.

The CD includes world exclusive performances from Metallica, Machine Head, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed And Cambria, Gallows and more!

Speaking exclusively to Kerrang!, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich told us how much respect the Bay Area thrashers have for the Brit metal masters.

"Iron Maiden are 10 per cent cooler than every other band," says Ulrich. "From their relationship with their fans, to their album covers to their stages, to their live presentation, to their photos - whatever they did was always cooler than what everyone else did! I have always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them and obviously getting a chance to be part of this CD feels like that has come a full circle. We played Remember Tomorrow as it was basically the blueprint for songs like Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and some of the more epic ballady type of songs that Metallica had done later. We had so much fun jamming with this! We put a bit of an intro on it, to give it a bit of a Metallica stamp, and we are super pleased with how it has turned out. "

Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn is equally excited to be a part of this project.

"When I was a kid Iron Maiden were a very big deal to me and the influence they had on Machine Head has been huge," he reveals. "We decided to cover Hallowed Be Thy Name for this CD because it's just such a great song, in fact it's a classic! I just love the way the vocal line goes up and down, so dramatic."

Metal heroes Trivium, are happy to admit their own brand of heavy riffage could never have existed without Maiden's worldwide influence.

"Iron Maiden helped create what we know as heavy metal," states frontman Matt Heafy. "Their influence can be heard on classic and contemporary bands alike; their fanbase spans across the youngest and newest of heavy music recruits all the way to the diehard, life-long metal elite. We chose to play the track Iron Maiden off their first album, as the song that screamed out our love for them musically, and we knew it would be a really fun song to jam out in the studio. It was an honour to be able to play one of Iron Maiden's tracks and have the opportunity to contribute to this amazing CD. We hope everyone has as much fun listening to it as we did making it!"

Meanwhile, Avenged Sevenfold - who will be supporting Maiden at their upcoming Twickenham Stadium show on July 5 - say they are "honoured" to be part of this Kerrang!-arranged tribute.

"Maiden are by far the best live band in the world and their music is timeless," says vocalist M Shadows. "This also gives us a chance to expose this great song to some of our younger fans who maybe aren't as familiar with Iron Maiden."

UK hardcore punk rockers Gallows chose to contribute a version of Wrathchild from Maiden's Killers album to the collection.

"We're actually all huge Maiden fans and while learning Wrathchild we discovered a new-found respect for the band as musicians," says guitarist Laurent Barnard. "Some of their riffs are pretty fast and Steve Harris has definitely earned his place as a bass legend! We're so happy we were asked to be included."

The arrival of Kerrang!'s Maiden Heaven CD coincides with the band's European leg of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour - and follows on from the release of their own collection Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of 80-89.

"Maiden much appreciate and are very flattered by all the time spent on this by a lot of great bands," says Iron Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood, "and would like to thank them, and also Kerrang!, for the honour. Thanks, everyone!"

The track listing for Maiden heaven is as follows:

01, Black Tide - Prowler
02, Metallica - Remember Tomorrow
03, Avenged Sevenfold - Flash Of The Blade
04, Glamour Of The Kill - 2 Minutes To Midnight
05, Coheed And Cambria - The Trooper
06, Devildriver - Wasted Years
07, Sign - Run To The Hills
08, Dream Theater - To Tame A Land
09, Madina Lake - Caught Somewhere In Time
10, Gallows - Wrathchild
11, Fightstar - Fear Of The Dark
12, Machine Head - Hallowed Be Thy Name
13, Trivium - Iron Maiden
14, Year Long Disaster - Running Free
15, Ghostlines - Brave New World

if the live version of Machine Head's cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name is anything to go by,then that will be the highlight of the cd.

Looking forward to hearing a full version of Remember Tomorrow by Metallica,they played part of it in 1995 at Donington.

I like how everyone moans about the bands that are on this compilation.

dicks.

you just gotta love these ignorant, arrogant people. Fot thse guys posting these stupid Napster comments (that is old news btw) and you say..."oo metallica sued their fans" well brother, if they were fans...they'd bought the damn music instead of STEALING it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WAY MUSIC HISTORY WAS AND ALWAYS SHOULD BE? What if "filesharing" was going on when Elvis Presley was trying to make his mark huh? He wouldn't have sold a damn record because lazy, stupid, ignorant closed minded idiots like yourself would have felt that you are worthy enough to get it for free. Music is entertainment, but on the flipside...it's a business. and when there's business......there's things that have to be met. If record sales ain't up there...then bands ain't getting signed...end of story. I personally buy all my music and am damn glad that some bands have the balls to stand up against people who duplicate music that isn't theirs. As a matter of fact, I had just went to the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee 2 weeks ago to see Metallica. It was my second time seeing them...I'm a die hard fan. And me and my buddy Rantz proudly sported a homemade F*** NAPSTER t-shirt for everyone to see...and guess what buddy...they agreed...and so did the multiple thousands of people that attended. Do you really think that your ignorance will stop the metal militia? Well, it ain't happened yet and it's been 8 years since. See you in hell

i agree with you to an extent but being 37 years old i have spent my share of money on cds when they were 15 to 20 $ a piece nowadays with the price of gas and living on one income its hard to afford a new cd let alone go to a concert for 80 to 150 $ to see a show 40$ a t shirt 5 bucks for a 16 oz bottle of water dont get get me wrong i do still buy cds but i also burn them it goes both waysi understand your point though

Ignorance does not refer to the words you call someone or how you talk to them, it refers to a lack of knowledge and respect about the music industry and for the artists.

Well talking about the price acros the Atlantic.. in here gallon of gas pays 7 dollars, and it isn't even high the average in Europe :D CD's are 30 dollar piece, shows are pretty much the same price.... So in here, it is even harder. But I really think real fans BUY the CD's, its not just to make favorite band richer, but honoring their piece of art. Anyways, I'd like to see this album, not only in Kerran! but in public CD stores aswell. Don't even know if I can buy Kerrang! here :D I bet somewhere but... Anywayz :D Gonna be great album, Up the Irons!

"metal heroes - trivium" heroes my right bollock.

and avenged sevenfold? im suprised their coporate cocksmoking singer (and i use that term loosely) could drag himself away from couting his dollars that he cares so much about to be a part of this.

and lars ulrich, hypocrit much? he allws to be a part of not only the kerrang cd featuring his bands load of wank and this new pile of shit, to be given away FOR FREE yet spits his dummy out the pram and takes people to court for downloading for free, its the same damn fucking outcome!


im suprised that sheep shagging cunt matt tuck isnt whining on this collection too.

and people wonder why i get fucking mad.

Lars Ulrich

I may not entirely agree with the whole Napster saga, but this isn't the same. For a start it's not their own material, it's a cover. And I'ts not technically being given away for free as you have to pay £2.20 for the magazine first.

I think this already looks like a million times better than the Metallica cd. Heard the Gallows track the other night and it sounded very different to what the original does but at the same time it's still recognisable. I'm sure many people will disagree with me but that's your opinion i guess but i thought it was great.

Madina Lake?! Fightstar?! Gallows? And who the fuck are Ghostlines?

This CD is going to be extremely hit and miss. I think I might search online for individual tracks from this CD rather than buying into this, such is the lack of overall quality.

Excuse me?

Maiden?

I seem to recall bruce chopping his mane, and Maiden in general changing their own sound (albeit subtly) over the years, and STILL keeping the best and most loyal fan base in all of metaldom.

Faine fine fine, Melattica may have sold more records, but ask a random metalhead who's better.....

MAIDEN... MAIDEN... MAIDEN... MAIDEN... MAIDEN...

fuckin right my metal brother \m/
my fangirl issues aside, i agree that this album has the potential to be quite hit n miss.
e.g. coheed and cambria (in my opinion) dont like em that much BUT the trooper is quite possibly (after hallowed be thy name) the best maiden track in teh world.
same goes for fightstar- not my favourite band in the world (i actually prefered busted) but fear of the dark is a sweet ass tune.
P.S why the fuck hasnt anyone covered number of the beast...they have wrathchild (being made even suckier by gallows) but where the monkey christ is number of the beast?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

scotty boy......get a grip f.f.s

just because a band plays a certain style of music, it doesnt mean they dont like other bands....ie....madina lake-iron maiden

if you dont like who's on the cd...then dont f*cking listen to it...or you could just shut up....wait 'til it comes out.....listen to it and then comment...

but i guess thats just common sense

RE: ignoramus stupendous

To Shan=))
Are you really that ignorant? Do you even know the actual reason why Metallica went after Napster? OK I will explain it to you and to all the numbskull idiots who keep dragging this shit on. The reason they went after napster was because they essentially stole a track from Metallica before it was officially released and completed and made it available for everyone on the net, without their permission. Get it now? The issue was that they did not have permission, this tribute on the other hand has been endorsed by Metallica themselves hence they have the control to say yes we want this track available to people for free. Get it yet? IS this fucking shit getting through to you idiots who still cannot comprehend the basic logic of stealing and permission? I should fucking hope so, get it through your fucking thick heads already goddamn it! It is NOT the same thing when napster is taking their songs and giving it away for free without the band's permission. End of story! Damn it this shit pisses me off

madina lake

In my opinion cover versions are best when the band covering the song are in a completely different genre to the original band. The main problem i found with the Metallica CD kerrang gave away a few years ago was that Machine Head and Triviums covers sounded exactly the same as the originals just with a slightly different vocal.

Now i've already heard the Gallows cover and although there are some similarities to the original, the most part of it is given a whole new twist by Gallows Hardcore/Punk style.

I expect this will be the same with the Iron Maiden CD with the bands who are least like Maiden making the best covers.

It's just another load of Kerrang bands. The Metallica cover would probably be good, and Machine Head, maybe some of the other bands. But it won't be amazing. Kerrang already proved that their cover CDs just aren't that good.

It's... patchy sounding at best. I'll give it a go, but I'm not expecting a great deal. Then again, I've been listening to the Nativity in Black album recently, and Ugly Kid Joe did a surprisingly good cover of N.I.B. If they can sound good, so can anyone!

(I would have liked see some of Maiden's contemporaries such as Priest or Saxon on the CD. That would have been interesting.)

I think it'll be ok , metallica spend lots of well earned money in the studio , why should they give it away for free? , maybe if those whining peasants actually got a job you could buy the albums instead of ripping them off and then crying if the artist dosent like it , IDIOTS hahaha.

I haven't heard a lot of Iron Maiden, but I'm planning to and i am definatly getting this. I'm pretty suprised to see Madina Lake and Gallows on here like most of the others, but I'm pleased Metallica and Machine Head are. I'm totally undecided whether it'll be good or not, but it's not every week Kerrang! offer a free CD.

...I bet the Fightstar cover is going to be awesome. They did an AWESOME job covering Breaking the Law by Judas Priest and Lepper Messiah by Metallica. That's why they we're asked to do this too, simple really.

The two covers they've done so far we're brilliant, so let's hear the song before you judge them, yeah?

Actually...

@ Obsolete_Aztec

They went after Napster due to that, and another fact... When people get music for free off of the internet, they are depriving the music and record companies of money, therefore, eventually they won't be able to afford to make albums, then we won't have any widely distributed music at all...

Everyone get it now?

This CD has Kerrang written all over it...why can't they push other bands rather than ones that are already popular? For example, Coheed, Fighstar and ML already played the Kerrang tour, so why not let some other bands be a part of this CD? There was a great opportunity to do something truly unique and special with this but it's just doomed to be another way of making money for Kerrang.

Although, good job for getting Dream Theater involved!

Lets just be open minded i guess...love Glamour of the Kill, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed and Cambria, pretty much most of the bands on there...Coheeds version of the Trooper is one of the best live covers so lets hope it sounds as good recorded...Fightstar will do a good cover im thinking...GOTK can bring their own sound to 2 Minutes To Midnight without making is a completely different song, i think the song does suit them as a band...the Black Tide cover will be interesting though...Machine Head and Trivium were a fucking good choice though...Can't wait to give it a listen though ;)

Madina Lake Bollocks

Hi there,

1stly what the fuck? its total bollocks, Metallica and Iron Maiden been covered by the likes of Medina Lake and Fightstar, really Kerrang that in it self is a total insult to two great rock band of our time.

why not just fucking get The Cheeky Girls to 'Enter Sandman' and lets leave it at that!

fuck sake Kerrang get our act together and stop been so commercial and money making, wheres they hard rock.

(BTW, i laughed when i read 'Fucking Sheep Shagger Matt Tuck)..lol.. he is very cute but tries too hard to be like, i mean Bullet for my Valentine tries SO hard to be like Metallica but just cant seem to shift from their 3 cords on the guitar!

I don't care about the moaners but still. I don't mind some of the bands but I will still listen to it. Just like the Metallica: Master Of Puppets remake. Every song was awesome remake. And each of these bands bring a unique sound to these Maiden songs. I can't wait to hear this cd.

Metallica, Trivium, Fightstar, DevilDriver, Dream Theater and Machine Head can't wait to hear thier remakes!!!

Coheed & Cambria doing The Trooper is going to be the shit.

I couldnt help but noticed you forgot a lot of shitty albums on your list. Such as load and reload. Also I like metallica and megadeth equally. Megadeth is only around because metallica pissed dave mustaine off and he started a band that would rival metallica which it doesnt but is still a amazing band. And in closing
metallica = megadeth < iron maiden

The reason metallica sells more albums is because they are a american band and american bands sell more than european bands in america. Also they are relatively a new band compared to iron maiden. Iron maiden was around 20 years before metallica. Metallica grew up listening to iron maiden. Also I dare you to go to england and say iron maiden sucks. I MOTHER FUCKING DARE YOU TO THOSE ARE METAL HEADS THAT WILL FUCKING BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU FOR SAYING THAT.

Idiot

Did you notice this? Atleast he can admit it "Iron Maiden are 10 per cent cooler than every other band," says Ulrich. "From their relationship with their fans, to their album covers to their stages, to their live presentation, to their photos - whatever they did was always cooler than what everyone else did! I have always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them and obviously getting a chance to be part of this CD feels like that has come a full circle. We played Remember Tomorrow as it was basically the blueprint for songs like Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and some of the more epic ballady type of songs that Metallica had done later. We had so much fun jamming with this! We put a bit of an intro on it, to give it a bit of a Metallica stamp, and we are super pleased with how it has turned out. "

First off iron maiden's tech crew could eat madina lakes souls just because that have been in the presence of druce dickinson and nicko mcbrain and steve harris. And another thing considering I have heard of iron maiden all my life and ive never even heard of madina lake at all until today. I can tell you right now that iron maiden is better and bruce dickinson can sing rings around madina lake so on my closing note I have this to say to you. Shut your fucking mouth about shit you do not have proof of or even I bet understand.

ill get a bunch of flak for this but, i'd have liked to see Sum41 do something for this CD seeing as theyre such big fans, i kno, i kno, i kno, sum41 arn't metal but i was gobsmacked when i saw them do the MTV icon metallica thing, where they did a medley of tolls,death and sandman. it really was incrediblyimpressive.

Lets face it without Iron Maiden who have been one of the biggest influences in Metal Ever ( Not saying the Biggest just saying one of the biggest before I get slated ) you would not have half of the bands that are around today. Who cares if a band has sold more albums than the other if you are a fan of any band good luck to you.

You missed a bit out of your quote Mr Metallica Fan

Iron Maiden with having sold over 80 million albums worldwide without significant mainstream or radio support

Metallica 95 million records sold worldwide but kinda went soft on the Black album which appeals to even my MOM!!!!!!! For god sake. Everything previous to Black album Golden and hit after hit. After Black album hmmmmmmmmm a few good tracks

I like both band but I know without Maiden I wouldnt even be a Metal Head

fucking idiots

I am going to stop this foolishness for good. Yes metallica has sold a few more albums than iron maiden but iron maiden has a equally large fan base and a much larger merchandising circuit and also iron maiden was and listen closely morons. IRON MAIDEN WAS ONE OF METALLICAS BIGGEST INFLUENCES! WE HAVE IRON MAIDEN TO THANK FOR HELPING TO FORGE METALLICAS AMAZING SOUND AND POWER! Also one other thing when lars battled nicko mcbrain on the drums nicko destroyed him before he sat down. I love both of these bands equally but you have to look at both spectrums before you open your fuckin mouths. merry fucking christmas assholes I just made you look like jerkoffs on the world wide web.

ok people, I agree with a bit of alot of these comments. i mean ok all these bands are from different genres of rock in general but you have not heard the cover.... then don't say its carp... if you dont like it, no one is forcing you to listen to it... but give them a chance... and you may not even like the band but just give them a chance. you never know you might actually like it

Metallica, Master Of Puppets is considered the best Thrash/Heavy Metal album of all time!

The Number Of The Beast is a great album, but not better than Master!

2. Judas Priest
3. Iron Maiden

I disagree Iron maidens number of the beast album is equal to master of puppets album in both sales and gross national gain. Both albums have been out a long time and still sell to this day.

master of puppets=number of the beast
1.iron maiden=metallica
2.judas preist
3.megadeth

This tribute album revelas a lot of things about the world of heavy metal. First, Metallica grows up like musicians admitting their admiration for Maiden.
Second, Machine is a great band and I'm so glad they're back.
Third, the front cover was made for a latin guy, colombian. I am honduran and I was so happy to find another cover album's artist in our countris. Thank you Kerrang for this info. I hope to have the album soon here in Honduras.

NOOBS.

METALLICA SUCK THE WANG!!! That's all there is to it! They're whiney sell-outs with no creativity! Maiden can make a song with a name like Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and still be respected. Metallica are just dicks with a stupid band name to go with it.

And which noob is saying that Judas Priest are better than Maiden? I'll admit Priest are pretty good, but a lot of their songs are pretty much the same formula.

I forgot to say that Lars Ulrich is a wanker.

Now let's shut up about Metallica! They had their tribute album!

Ok now hold on there man. While I admire your enthusiasm about giveing iron maiden the respect it most definently deserves.

IRON MAIDEN SUCKS!!!

These discs will kick the ass to Iron Maiden!

METALLICA

Kill 'Em All
Ride the Lightning
Master Of Puppets
Garage Days Re-Revisited
... And Justice For All
Metallica (The Black Album)
Death Magnetic

Metallica has sold 100 million albums!

Iron Maiden has sold 80 million albums!

Live Shit Binge And Purge is a better record that the Rock In Rio


But both bands have had their bad moments:

Metallica: Load, Reload and St. Anger!

Iron Maiden: No Prayer For The Dying, The X Factor, Virtual XI and Dance Of Death sucked!

I kind of wish Metallica did "Prowler"...I love listening to them doing that live in the early '90s. As for "Death Magnetic"...it could be really good...so far from what I've heard the music sounds great, but the lyrics are below par. I have high hopes, but we'll have to wait and see.

Looking foward to the new Metallica c.d,sounds like a cross between Load and Black album judging from the samples i've heard.
If you havn't heard "Now I lay thee down"by Machine Head,check it out,possibly the best metal song this decade,the rest of the cd is good but not great.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.To those bashing Maiden,whats the deal?I've been a lifelong fan of Iron Maiden, and the reason is as Lars said they are 10% cooler than any other band.Yeah they've had their ups and downs musically, but lets not forget that they've been in the business of rocking our fucking socks off continually for 30 fucking years!Read some reveiws of their latest fucking tour dates;every one agrees Greatest Band Ever bar fucking NONE!Let's face it if not for the NWOBHM,of whom Maiden is the only survivor their never would have been a Metallica!Those guys are awesome in their own right,but their last album sucked worse than any Maiden album ever!

No Fightstar again, can some one please tell Kerrang that Fightstar can not cover songs, "Breaking the Law" they ruined and they didn't do a much better job of "Leper Messiah" either, and now they want to cover one of the best bands on the planet, wtf is that about. Charlie Simpson should go back to his pop career, his voice does not suit metal music.

I disagree, firrst off have you ever heard the load and reload albums? They suck also. Iron maiden is one of the main bands that made metallica what it is today also Lars Ulrich got the shit kicked out of him when he challenged nicko mcbrain the drummer of iron maiden to a drum contest before he could even sit down to play.

According to Wikipedia Tallica sell more than Maiden.

I'm sorry, but who the fuck believes stuff like Wikipedia. Its not like half of it is factually true.

Isn't it funny how there is always the Maiden vs Metallica row, when both bands have a respect for one another, and only the narrow-minded nancies argue about greatness.
This is music ladies and gentlemen, and if you cant agree to respect the music, why should anyone have respect for you?

Its nice to see a bit of variety on the CD.

Whenever you hear the name Iron Maiden, you wouldnt think 'Flash Of The Blade' or 'Remember Tomorrow'. So it's good to see bands doing songs that aren't as well broadcast by Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden

First off as Lars Ulrich stated Iron Maiden are 10% cooler than any other band including Metallica.

Why didn't anyone cover Aces High or Number of the Beast. Those two songs alone would have been epic.

As for the bands performing the actual covers. Machine Head's cover along with Metallica's will be epic. Trivium's should be pretty good too if it's anything like their cover of Puppets. I like A7X so I hope their cover is good, Flash of the Blade seems like a good choice for them. Coheed is not bad and their cover will be epic. Black Tide did a pretty good cover of Hit the Lights so I expect nothing less than that for Prowler. Gallows' cover will be interesting to say the least I like most of their stuff so I have faith in them. As was mentioned before Fightstar does amazing covers this will be no exception. I personally don't like DevilDriver that much but I'm sure their cover will be interesting to say the least. Dream Theater should be decent at least, I never was a big fan of theirs. As for the other bands (Madina Lake, Year Long Disaster, Ghostlines, Sign, and Glamour of the Kill) I haven't heard any of them before but if they are covering Maiden they can't be too bad, right?

Lastly does anybody know where/how I can pick this up? (I live in the U.S. Southern California to be exact) I'd also rather not pay $250 for a year's subscription to Kerrang! just for the Maiden Heaven cd.

Seriously... The choice of bands to cover... The majority of them suck... The Master of Puppets remastered, half of the bands there I like. Mastodon, Mendeed, Machine-Fuckin'-Head, Chimaira. But here, you've just killed it. Pop-emo covering metal? From that entire list there's only 3 bands I find fitting. Devildriver, Machine Head and Metallica. The rest are either shite, or I've never heard of them. I think I'd prefer if I hadn't heard of any of them, then I wouldn't have to rant. But seriously, having the likes of Evile, God Forbid and Children of Bodom would make this so much better. This isn't only oppinion, but the better bands could slightly change it to make it more unique.

Gallows I reckon couyld do that....... But it still doesn't stop them from being shite

Seriously... The choice of bands to cover... The majority of them suck... The Master of Puppets remastered, half of the bands there I like. Mastodon, Mendeed, Machine-Fuckin'-Head, Chimaira. But here, you've just killed it. Pop-emo covering metal? From that entire list there's only 3 bands I find fitting. Devildriver, Machine Head and Metallica. The rest are either shite, or I've never heard of them. I think I'd prefer if I hadn't heard of any of them, then I wouldn't have to rant. But seriously, having the likes of Evile, God Forbid and Children of Bodom would make this so much better. This isn't only oppinion, but the better bands could slightly change it to make it more unique.

Gallows I reckon couyld do that....... But it still doesn't stop them from being shite

hold up there jewy

Ok first off having death metal bands covering a classic band like iron maiden has got to be the stupidest idea I have ever heard. And while I dont approve of all the bands...avenged sevenfold...Having children of bodom or god forbid try to do any iron maiden song would be like bob dylan covering megadeth. It would be blasphemy and I wont have it.

Just cuz I am bored at work and need an argument. I found this from the Metallica web site from Lars the poison dwarf himself

"Iron Maiden are 10% cooler than every other band," says Ulrich. "From their relationship with their fans, to their album covers to their stages, to their live presentation, to their photos - whatever they did was always cooler than what everyone else did! I have always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them and obviously getting a chance to be part of this CD feels that that has come a full circle. We played Remember Tomorrow as it was basically the blueprint for songs like Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and some of the more epic ballady type of songs that Metallica had done later. We had so much fun with this!"

After saying this cant we all just get along. Metallica and Maiden are both fantastic in their right. I for one prefer Maiden but that is my personal preferance.

Up the IRONS
Rock on Tallica Pre black album anyways

*stirs his wooden spoon lol

Maiden heaven

Ok i have to say i been a lifelong fan of both Maiden and Metallica and im not going to get into the stupid Maiden v Metallica argument because i think im above the kindergarten stage each band has had its ups and downs like all bands and the fact that 30 years for maiden and 20-some for metallica i a testement to the fan base and more importantly THE MUSIC that they have entertained us all for so long this CD looks like a good eclectic mix that shows the wide ranging influence Maiden have had on music itself so why cant we all just get off the hate bandwagon and be true music fans and appreciate what these musicians are busting their asses off to provide us with because in my book without the likes of Maiden,Metallica,Judas Priest,Anthrax ....and the list could go on .....all our lives would be alot more meaningless so listen to this CD if u dont like dont listen again if you do then rock on to it more at the end of the day the songs chosen are in some cases very good songs just not as widely known as they were meant to be album songs .....part of the journey if you like in respect to those who feel that the songs were a bad choice then thats your opinin and i respect that but for a true music fan the journey is an emotional one with highs and lows thats what makes a true fans journey so unique and special to them so respect to you all and good luck on all your personal journeys thru Metal and most important of all RESPECT THE MUSIC WITHOUT IT WE WOULD ALL BE BORING FUCKS TIED TO THE APRON STRINGS OF CORPORATE ASSHOLES !!!

So you prefer Maiden or Metallica. LOL

Unfortunately you will never ever ever stop the my band is better than your band as its been going on for years and no 2 people are the same.

Everyone knows there own personal preferance so who cares what anyone else thinks.

I am looking forward to the CD for the Metallica cover and Machine head cover.

Iron Maiden are amazing.

I myself am a true follower of Maiden, after them being the first ever gig i went to, and the fact that they are the band who have brought me into metal. Which is why I love every single song of theirs, some say that they had shit albums. But in my opinion, they are all good. Some can say that Metallica are better due to their opinion. But might i remind everyone about the shocking sound of St. Anger which to be honest has done a lot worse than every "bad" album maiden had. This one album does not do Justice to the comments about Maiden having like 4 bad albums, when this one album is worse than each of these albums.

This Maiden Heaven will be a very good album I think, already hearing Prowler live by Black Tide, I'm pretty sure all of it is going to be amazingly covered and cannot wait for July 16th

Official tracklisting... meh!

Buff, except from Machine Head, Metallica and Dream Theater, the rest of the bands are absolutely trendy and medioce (at least the ones that I know). Has anybody realised that Maiden is a METAL band, with a huge influence in the METAL scene, and none of those can properly be considered as METAL bands? (except the mentioned above which, although nowadays I can't count them within my faves, they are/were undeniably good). What a mess of compilation! You should better go and check “Made in Tribute” or “A Call to Irons” (the two best for me).

This is gay

With the exception of Metallica and Dream Theatre, this is absolute shit. They should have bands like Dio, Heaven and Hell, Judas Priest, Motorhead (Lemmy did an awesome cover of the trooper already), Megadeth, Motley Crue and Whitesnake. Where's all the real metal, Avenged Sevenfold sound like an emo band which happen to have good guitar solos which means they suck balls. All the other bands that I've heard before suck and I assume that most of the others suck because I've never heard them (though I could be wrong).

A worthy argument..

We all know Maiden are better than Metallica on so many levels.

Just look at Maiden's recent albums (past 5 years) compared to Metallica.

Dance of death was so creative and adavance in terms of lyrics. Read the lyrics to Pachendale, and see the detailed story in it.

Also Maiden have 10 years on Metallica. In all respect, Maiden are the one band that is ahead of everyone.

everything on this album

I listen to stuff like a7x, madina lake, alesana, blind guardian, canibble corpse, anorexia nervosa, emperor,necrophagist and all black metal.
i dont really give a fuck about metal, cause Iron Maiden is so fucking awesome there is no point in having other metal bands. (except black metal).
i think all the bands that try to be Iron Maiden get stuck in the 80's bullshit.
we need to have more bands like a7x and like Forever The Sickest kids doing maiden covers. not this metallica/trivium bulls**t!

Trivium?

Errr Trivium?

They are so fucking awful they supported maiden and got bottled/boo'd off stage in Glasgow because they're just so fucking shit.

There's not a more eloquent way I can put that, they really are just fucking AWFUL.
Dream Theater and Metallica are the only saving graces on this and unfortunately being such a huge Maiden fan I'll need to buy this. *Shudders* I'll need to wear a paper bag over my head....
