Customer Reviews

Great fun....
I see so many Maiden tributes, and I always pick them up to check them out, but often find them filled with bands I have never heard of, so I pass. When I finally got around to picking this up, and seeing so many big names on it, I felt compelled to check it out. Boy was I happy.

This is such a cool tribute, with huge name rockers. Musically they do not stray far from the originals, and some of the guitar solos are just all out impressive. Bruce Kulick, Nuno Betterncourt, George Lynch, Michael Schenker, and Paul Gilbert sound at the top of their game.

Vocally e have some really impressive work here. It is so cool (to me at lest) to hear well known voices taking on other killer failiar song. Aside from not really enjoying the dark vocal rendition or style of "Fear of the Dark" (Chuck Billy of Testament), the barking-growl rendition of "The Trooper" by Lemmy, or the appearance of Paul Di'Ano covering himself (get off the Maiden trek already), the rest of the vocals were quite impressive. I especially appreciated Robin McAuley, Dee Snider, Jeff Scott Soto, Mark Slaughter and even the caught-me-of-guard Joe Lynn Turner's vocals.

Overall, one of the best tribute CDs I have purchased. Another thoroughly enjoyable tribue was the "Spin the Bottle" tribute to Kiss, with an as impressive line up as we have here.

Most fans will like it
Excellent song choices, vocals range from ho hum (Mark Slaughter, Chris Jerico)to great (Lemmy, Chuck Billy, Robin McAcAuley), drumming and bass all very good, some of the guitar playing is so good that I was blown away (Bruce Krulick, Craig Goldy, Nino Bettencourt, George Lynch). However if you are on a budget and don't have Live after Death, GET IT instead

What the...?
I will refrain from going down the list of songs on this heap. They are all bad. What makes them bad is really sad too...some of the vocal performances are outstanding, but all of the intrumental parts are just badly produced, sounding incredibly thin, having been performed by studio artists. I own every Maiden album and every Maiden "tribute" album and this is by far the worst. Do not let some of the big names on vocals rope you into buying this one. I really want to know how they feel about this- did they hear the background band at all- I would venture to guess not. To compare, listen to Di'Anno's other versions of Wrathchild since his exile from Maiden- even the his live version on "The Beast...Live" is better!
