the cover version is called King of twilight although it has pieces from cryin in the dark..the song appeared as a b side for the single called aces high but can be found again in cd version in the EDDIE ARCHIVES collectors box...

Edit: Here is a link to a bit of it: http://www.ironmaiden.com/discography/audio/bsides/Eddie's%2 0Archive%20(5%20of%206)08.wma

Bah did not work just go to http://www.ironmaiden.com/discography/bestbsides.php then and click on the song

OK, Thank you.

 

I can't remember any cover now... I'll think about it. I suppose most non-prog bands aren't fond of prog or brave enough.

One to make many in the forum cringe:

The Sissors Sisters version of PF's Comfortably Numb - which I personally quite like

Listen to Heart of the sunrise by Yes covered by the California Guitar Trio from the album CG3+2, they played it with acoustic guitars! but also includes bass and drums

I've been listening to the Beggar's Opera
version of MacArthur Park on the Vertigo ' Time
Machine' box set. I thought it would be really terrible
but it's brilliant - I'll have to get some of their albums.

Get their first three: "Act One" ; "Waters of Change" ; "Pathfinder" . "McArthur Park" is on "Pathfinder" - but I will recommend you "Waters of Change" - their best album, IMHO.

Cheers MB - Waters of Change it is then.

God, Prog is an expensive hobby. I've also just
ordered the Deram Legend of a Mind box set!

Helloween covered Locomotive Breath and Hocus Pocus on their 1999 release Metal Jukebox

Well, the originals are better, but they are nonetheless funny!
