Title: Metallica cover Iron Maiden Post by: Melissa on July 03, 2008, 10:45:08 AM Metallica has revealed that they recorded a cover of Iron Maiden's "Remember Tomorrow," off the band's self-titled debut album. Here's the update from Metallica'a MySpace blog:
"We were honored to be asked to participate in Kerrang's exclusive 'Maiden Heaven' tribute album... one of those super cool Kerrang! CD's that you can only get when you buy the mag. In this case, the issue (1219) goes on sale in the UK on July 16 and for those of you somewhere else, you can pick it up online at http://www.kerrang.com. "We picked 'Remember Tomorrow' from Iron Maiden's self titled first album... it was basically the blueprint for songs like 'Fade to Black' and 'Sanitarium' and when we were jamming our way thru most of our favorite early Maiden songs, this one stood out and also came together somewhat effortlessly... we had a blast recording it at HQ in the middle of all the insanity of the last two weeks of finishing the new album back in May. Some of our other favorite bands recorded their own versions of Maiden songs too... Machine Head, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed And Cambria, Dream Theater to name a few. There are more details in the current issue of Kerrang! or on their site... or check out the "official" press release here. The complete Maiden Heaven tracklisting is as follows: Black Tide - Prowler Metallica - Remember Tomorrow Avenged Sevenfold - Flash Of The Blade Glamour Of The Kill - 2 Minutes To Midnight Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper DevilDriver - Wasted Years Sign - Run To The Hills Dream Theater - To Tame A Land Madina Lake - Caught Somewhere In Time Gallows - Wrathchild Fightstar - Fear Of The Dark Machine Head - Hallowed Be Thy Name Trivium - Iron Maiden Year Long Disaster - Running Free Ghostlines - Brave New World Source: http://www.metalunderground.com Title: Re: Metallica cover Iron Maiden Post by: Kitty on July 07, 2008, 06:41:45 PM Hmmm...I have mixed feelings on this since I am a huge Iron Maiden fan and I don't usually like covers. But I am curious to hear the album. I liked the 'Tribute to Black Sabbath' album... this may be good as well :)
