It's been out for years. It's a great cover and is superior to the original, probably due to the advancements in musical quality.

 

[Night Prowler]

That cover was first released years ago. I think it's shit tbh.

Really?!?!?!?!? I have NEVER heard of this before and I m a pretty big Metallica fanboy

What about the Anthrax and Opeth covers?

 

[Mosh]

One of the best Maiden covers out there. I like that they give it their own twist, particularly with the intro, but it is all done in the Maiden spirit. Exactly what a cover should be.

Opeth's is awesome too. A perfect song for them to cover.

 

[Night Prowler]

Metallica's cover ruins the calm parts by playing them too fast. Lars' fills are super shit. Or more accurately "fill" since he only seems to know one.

Anthrax and Opeth's covers are close in quality, but I'd give the advantage to Anthrax due to vocals being a bit more rough.

 

[Albie]

One of the best Maiden covers out there.

In my opinion, Testament doing Powerslave is the best.

Does anybody actually know where the cover was first released? It doesn't seem to feature on any official Metallica release. All traces lead back to this tribute album, but I am dead certain I've had an MP3 of the cover since 2003 or so.

 

[Albie]

I have that album, it was a freebie with kerrang. I do believe its likely to be the source.

 

[Mosh]

The tribute album was the first I heard of it.

That's what I linked to, yes. I am still convinced I heard it before 2008, but maybe my memory is wrong.

 

[Forostar]

Sorry, didn't see the link. Yeah, I also thought it was longer ago, but forgot if that was a studio or live version.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

They've also covered Prowler live before.

 

[Perun]

They've also covered Prowler live before.

Could it be that I'm mixing that up in my memory?

 

[Forostar]

Yes could be. But they didn't do a studio version I think?

 

[Brigantium]

Yep, I always thought Remember Tomorrow was done for the Maiden Heaven tribute.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

A damn good cover version for sure.

 

[Perun]

Yes could be. But they didn't do a studio version I think?

I don't distinctly remember anything about it being studio or live. In fact, now that I try to revisit it, I don't remember anything about it at all.
