UP THE IRONS!
Have you ever heard about “The Trooper” who took the “Flight Of Icarus” and didn’t “Run To The Hills”? It was “Two Minutes To Midnight” when he found out that his “Powerslave” had “The Number Of the Beast”?
You really don’t know what we are talking about? We are talking about the most successful Heavy Metal band ever. When Iron Maiden released their first album in 1980, it was like a revolution in Heavy Metal. After changing their singer (Bruce Dickinson replaced Paul DiAnno) on “Number Of The Beast” (1982), they had their big breakthrough. Iron Maiden released a lot of classic albums, played all the biggest festivals and are still among the most popular bands in the Heavy Metal scene today.
A lot of young – and not so young – bands name Iron Maiden as their biggest influence. It is a great pleasure for them to be part on this amazing Tribute To Iron Maiden. You find all their biggest hits played by their biggest fans.

Great Bands playing in that tribute album. Nice to hear Destruction's version of Killers.
Looks good. I'll pick it up for sure. I've heard some of them before. The Stuck Mojo, Anthrax, Iron Savior and Sebastian Bach covers are all great.
Can't wait to here Primal Fear do 2 Minutes..
Looking forward to the Necrophobic and Therion cavers too. Although I saw Therion playing that song when they played here.
i'm sick of seeing tributes that think maiden stopped after 88... fuck that!

Well they covered the best post 7th son song Fear of the Dark. Futureal and Blood on the Worlds Hands would have been nice though.
I won't buy it I don't like covers.
I like covers. It is another take on a song you know is good. Some covers are better than the originals.
But not Maiden covers. Noone can play better than Maiden 
Some of those songs were already in the [url=http://christophe.largeau.free.fr/groups/ironmaiden/maidenenliveintegral.html]Maiden en live intégral[/url] CD :
- Anthrax - Remember Tomorrow
- Sentenced - The Trooper
