I like this one quite a bit



And this one as well



Motorhead gone punk

Still one of my favorite covers after almost 30 years...

Iron Maiden doing the Jethro Tull classic "Cross-Eyed Mary"

I had not heard that one before. That rips!

Yeah, it's just flat out awesome. It was the b-side to The Trooper single.

When I got my first CD burner I made an alternate version of Piece Of Mind and I replaced Quest For Fire (gag) with Cross-Eyed Mary. A much better album!

My other favorite Iron Maiden cover.

Here they combine two Nektar songs from A Tab in The Ocean together; "Crying In The Dark" and "King Of Twilight". This was the b-side to the Aces High single.

Iron Maiden is so freaking versatile! Here is my favorite Bruce cover. Ah - The whole album is awesome!

Steve Harris rips it up on the "King of Twilight" portion!!

One more killer Iron Maiden cover....

This is "A Rainbow's Gold" by forgotten UK band "Beckett" from 1974. The original song features 3 part vocal harmonies which Bruce tackles via overdubbing. Nick's drum intro and the killer guitar sound are two the highlights on here...as well as the Zeppelin inspired mid-section. Killer recording as well.

IMO that is the best of the 3 that were posted. I need to find the original of that band and the Maiden Cover post-haste.

I just found this one and it is fantastic!!

I really like the sound these guys have.

Yeah, the 3 part vocal harmonies really stand out. They only released one album, a couple of the members would join Paul Kosoff's band "Back Street Crawler" a year later.

Some friends of mine covered 213 by Slayer:

That's pretty damn good. Actually It's really damn good. I thought Annihilated Scorched Earth sounded most like Slayer. This is right on par. Checking out Seek and Destroy right now. How do I get there stuff?

I love the buried Alive cover too.

Glad you liked it!

I found the album on Amazon but it was $28.00 which is a but rich for my blood at the moment.

All kinds of fail on that post.

I replaced that ridiculously large image.

Sorry 'bout that gigantic desktop background sized pic I used, and thanks S.D. for taking the time to fix that part of my post instead of just deleting that part or the whole thing. I incorrectly assumed that it would be automatically downsized by HOM. I should have read the site's posting info more closely. I'll make sure to use much smaller images in the future. Exactly 3 weeks until Kreator/Accept!!!

No problem. I wish the board software would automatically resize, but as of yet I haven't been able to find the setting to turn that on, it's possible the version of the board software we are using isn't compatible.

That Kreator/Accept tour looks very cool. I only got to see Kreator once in the mid-90s in Seattle, they played a gig in a tiny club for about 30 people...but they still played a kick-ass show despite the pathetic turnout.

I've only seen Kreator once, in 2003. I got a bit worked up at that show-ha, I think I'll try to remain observant this time. And speaking of reducing large files down to size, were I to post a question concerning doing just that for youtube uploading, would that go in "Of Unsound Mind"? (if anywhere on HOM?) it's a decent 90's bootleg Motorhead show, and it's a tad large. Maybe you know how?

This one just hit the web...Metallica's cover of 'When A Blind Man Cries' from the forthcoming Deep Purple tribute album Re-Machined: A Tribute to Machine Head.



Not too shabby.

I'm a little confused. A Deep Purple song that's a tribute to Machine Head?

It's a good rendition, nothing surprising.
