They're all pretty much the same as the originals; straight covers with different production and different singers. What's the point?

I can think of many bands that I would rather hear cover Maiden. Immortal, Destruction, Watain, Carcass... the list goes on!

Although all these are great bands and full respect is given there is nothing like the real Iron Maiden even after all these years- still the best band I have ever and will ever see. Nothing beats original material.

I've only heard the samples, but I thought A7X did a decent job until I heard the chorus. Gallows should be taken out to the street corner and publicly shot in the forehead. They ruined 'Wrathchild'.

From the samples, Metallica & Machine Head did an awesome job...although I honestly question some of the bands, I mean, all of the riffs are great, but some of the vocalist need some serious work (you'll know who they are,: but I do respect some o' them for their tribute.)
IRON MAIDEN RULES!!!

P.S. better than Gym Class Heroes covering Lamb Of God...

I was expecting A7X to do a good job considering they have great musicians (just cant write songs for themselves lol) But like post 7 said, chorus was very bad. Shadows vocols were horrible actually, so were the rest of the bands. Syn was pretty good with his solo i have to admitt.
Havent herd any others, but hopefully they'll be better.

Devildriver's cover ties Machine Head's for best on the cd. Black Tide actually did a decent job with an old favorite, and Metallica actually exceeded my expectations for once. Coheed should be ashamed of themselves for making the trooper sound like a pop song. I havent heard dream theater yet but im looking foward to it. Everything else was mediocre at best.

Im surprised how good the trivium actually sounds. Devildriver was great and Coheed and Cambria, well the guitar and drums were pretty damn good but singing wasnt to my taste

I actually hate Trivium, and I thought theirs was the best so far. Not really a Dream Theter fan, so I haven't actually bothered to listen to that particular track. Black TIde neither. Devildriver sounded awesome, and Machine Head was all good for me except a little weird on the vocals, since the dude decided to forego his gruff voice to try and sound like the original more. I liked the Metallica one, but i didn't realy get too excited about it at all...

I agree completely with post 7, and I shake an angry and dissapproving fist at post 11... Coheed is ALWAYS sh**, and this was no exception. I have yet to hear the A7x cover, but I have no doubt that they managed to completely f*** their song up as well...

Now Playin: Chimaira- "Left For Dead"

There's no question that no one can do it like Maiden. However the Devildriver and Machine Head ones are great. Machine Head performed their cover at the Mayhem Festival, I thought they did an awesome job.
