Fightstar covering the Iron Maiden song "Fear of the Dark". Taken from the free Kerrang! album "Maiden Heaven". *Hmm...the only thing that springs to mind when I think of Fighstar is "Busted"...*
“Fear of the duck, fear of the duccck, I have a constant fear that Daffy’s always near Fear of the duck, fear of the duccck, I have a phobia that daffy’s over there “
I like this cover. I'm a fan of both bands (not so much fightstar's most recent stuff) and I like what Fightstar did with the song. I saw this performed by Maiden just 3 days ago and that was possibly the best experience of my life, so I could never say that this is better, but it does have its merits
I once did acid and walked into a dark hallway in my house when it kicked in. It was crazy being stuck in total darkness, hands touching the floor thinking it was the walls, or back against the wall thinking it was the floor. It was madness, like being stuck in a glitch.
I like the Iron Maiden one more, but I love this one as well. I personally am not afraid of ducks, but I know it's an issue that many people battle on a day-to-day basis
Seriously? He sounded as if he was gonna have a hernia every time he tried for the high notes. He doesn't hold a candle to Bruce and shouldn't have even tried with one. He just doesn't have the chops...
You didn't hear it though did you! Ive just read it, the same as you have, but when i next listen to Fear Of the Dark again, i wont be filling in the word "dark" with the word "duck" because i'm not a fukin idiot! ;-)
Why is CATHY mad bro? Donald ain't no joke. Her succinct and specific reply makes me suspect that she may not understand the threat that the duck poses. Better pay attention CATHY
I'm a massive maiden fan, I don't think the cover is better than the original and I'm not a fightstar fan but credit where is due cracking work mr Simpson
i've seen fightstar twice now and have to say there brilliant live and would love to see these play this cover at one of thier gig's sometime as it's a great cover.
I hate the fact that people have to compare it to the original ! It's not the original, Just a cover... No it ain't as good as the original. But this is Fightstars work, and I think they make it their own really well. Sounds great, Yes im a Fightstar fan ;)
Not going to lie, anyone complaining about this cover clearly didn't listen to the 'Run to the Hills' cover, I can't even remember who did it. THAT was awful, 12 or so years later and I still remember how upset I was about that cover. This cover is at least is a fitting tribute without being identical to the original, similar to what they did with Leper Messiah, I'm not a huge Fightstar fan but there's undoubtedly talent there, and I think Charlie has a great voice, makes no difference to me if he was in Busted. The other band, whoever they were, took RTTH and turned it into something hideous without any trace of the original.
Just here after reading this band did a cover of this song. I'm pleasantly surprised. Like most people who are commenting Busted and Fightstar wasn't my scene but good to hear Charlie Simpson growing into his own. This comment may be several years too late but good to know he's a Maiden fan. I'm a guitarist of 16 years and let me tell you his guitar playing on this track is alright (is it Charlie or is there another guitarist in this band?). It's his own version and I can only imagine it's because the original is challenging for him. He's given it his best go and it's alright. Good on you.
This is excellent.... Not really a fan of Fightstar, but this is the best cover I've heard in a long time. If there are any better covers than this then I want proof
This cover and Iron Maiden's version to me are like apples and oranges. They both have positive aspects to them the other does not, I like both of them and I am an avid Iron Maiden fan. Good job Fightstar!
Fucking awesome cover by Fightstar...this is one of the best cover's I heard so far from a f'ing awesome band(and off of this soundtrack)...UP THE IRONS!!!
I actually write fanfiction where most of my main focuses are in a band in one of my unpublished ones my character equates this song to a power that corrupts him fearing his Dark powers because the thing watching him is his inner Darkness waiting for a chance to overwhelm him meanwhile his team (it's a power rangers one sue me) doesn't see his struggle until he plays this song and how he acts afterwards. I scrapped it because my friends hated it but I love this cover.
“Fear of the duck, fear of the duccck, I have a constant fear that Daffy’s always near
Fear of the duck, fear of the duccck, I have a phobia that daffy’s over there “
Feels like a song about The Beach and THAT Daffy
Best cover of this song in my opinion
Graveworm would like a word
i think Graveworm
version is much more better
Definitely. My childhood memories are related with this cover. I had heard this cover always. Even, I'm here now about to search this cover.
No joke ❤❤

One of the best cover for maiden.... really heavy and groovy!!!
Seriously, this tribute cover is *highly* underrated!

Hahaha! Now I'm scared of ducks! Duckphobia! Quack!

They ARE watching YOU
Best cover ever of this song! Vocals on point as always Mr Charlie Simpson 😍
Seriously? He sounded as if he was gonna have a hernia every time he tried for the high notes. He doesn't hold a candle to Bruce and shouldn't have even tried with one. He just doesn't have the chops...
man, this soubd is good because they made a different sound
@@rhodridavies9426Charlie’s a baritone so it isn’t surprising he struggled with the song. The A4s are rough but the G#4s and below are good
FEAR RUBBER DUUCK!!
😆😆😆😆🐻jake the snake
Haha the "fear of the duck" thing gets so much funnier each time, it boggles the mind!
This is My fav tribute 2 Maiden !!!

Awesome!
Amazing cover by fightstar,they should make songs like this: long,epic,fast and with screams. Charlie's voice is perfect for this kind of stuff!!
.... i cant miss today..
i've seen fightstar twice now and have to say there brilliant live and would love to see these play this cover at one of thier gig's sometime as it's a great cover.
Fear of the duck!
Top kek my friend
Preston Garvey there's another settlement out there that needs our help!
I like the vocals in the original better, but HOLY DAMN, the guitars! This rocks!
Fear of Chuck (Norris)
People need to understand that tributes are made to sound different from the original, if not what is the purpose of even doing it?

"Fightstar *covering* the Iron Maiden song "Fear of the Dark"."
same shit bro
but.. its from Maiden Heaven a tribute album from Kerrang.. so.
my own summer by fightstar is the exact same as the original, no changes
The problem is not that it's a bit different, it's that it's complete shit! That kid does not have the singing chops to pull this song off.
Finally he’s actually saying dark not duck or dart
Love it wish on Spotify
i think thats one of the best covers of fear of the dark, but no one cover can be better than the original version
hey dont diss the duck, this is possibly the best cover of maiden ive heard
Great Band. Great tune!
Great cover! One of the best IM covers!
Easily the best song from the Tribute Album. Awesome cover, doesn't beat the original, but still fantastic.
This cover, Hallowed Be Thy Name and Remember Tomorrow were terrific
I hate the fact that people have to compare it to the original ! It's not the original, Just a cover... No it ain't as good as the original. But this is Fightstars work, and I think they make it their own really well. Sounds great,
Yes im a Fightstar fan ;)
Lovely cover 👌

This cover is at least is a fitting tribute without being identical to the original, similar to what they did with Leper Messiah, I'm not a huge Fightstar fan but there's undoubtedly talent there, and I think Charlie has a great voice, makes no difference to me if he was in Busted.
The other band, whoever they were, took RTTH and turned it into something hideous without any trace of the original.
The band was Sign
That is the most sensible thing I have heard all year! :D
wow! awesome cover!!!
I applaud Fightstar for trying such a challenging song. True, no cover could beat the original - but they done an amazing job! Fightstar ftw
Amazing song!
This is amazing. Well done.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Unbelievable cover, Charlie's voice sounds excellent with this
Ótimo cover. Curto a fu escutar essa versão.
Great cover. I really like the vocals.
Just here after reading this band did a cover of this song. I'm pleasantly surprised. Like most people who are commenting Busted and Fightstar wasn't my scene but good to hear Charlie Simpson growing into his own. This comment may be several years too late but good to know he's a Maiden fan.

It's his own version and I can only imagine it's because the original is challenging for him. He's given it his best go and it's alright. Good on you.
Fightstar guitarists are Charlie Simpson and Alex Westaway
Hell yeah!!
Ducks are Irons!!
Up the Irons!!
Up the Fightstar!!
Up the Ducks!!
Great Tribute.
woow great song !!
Faithful to the original, enough to appease the old people among us who remember it. (Like me)
This is probably my fav cover ever
Ducks are going nuts nowadays. This song finally makes sense!
awesome cover
dat scream at the end of the bridge was awesome
one my fav cover 🤘🤘🇫🇮
That’s actually pretty f**king cool and I love Maiden so I wasn’t sure how I was gonna feel about this
The vocals have that motorhead vibe. With a faster paced maiden sound. I like
That solo cover is awesome man
This is excellent....
Not really a fan of Fightstar, but this is the best cover I've heard in a long time.
If there are any better covers than this then I want proof
This would be awsome for a chaos space marines video. Plain awsome.
Duck, Dark, whatever. All I know is that this is the best cover of this tune I've EVER heard!
veryveryveryvery TRUE!
maldita sea que increíble !!
FEAR OF THE DUCK
Please no
Sick 🤘
fantastico
Vocalist is tight as shit on his highs, FEAR OF THE DUUUUUUCK!!!! \m/!!
Muy buena cover.
when i close my eyes at night i can still hear those ducks quacking...
I don't like fightstar that much but I must admit that this is a really good cover of the song!!! Good job Fightstar!!!!^_^ MAIDEN RULES!!!!!
This cover and Iron Maiden's version to me are like apples and oranges. They both have positive aspects to them the other does not, I like both of them and I am an avid Iron Maiden fan. Good job Fightstar!
The pic is just epic
awesome.
I love the hole Maiden Heaven album.
i like how he holds the notes more than bruce did
He can hold a note, but christ he's near impossible to understand compared to Bruce. I cant unhear "fear of a duck"
SixSixSevenSeven He's got a heavy accent he's fighting through.
Dope!
good cover !!!
Fucking awesome cover by Fightstar...this is one of the best cover's I heard so far from a f'ing awesome band(and off of this soundtrack)...UP THE IRONS!!!
NICE!!!
So far the best cover of iron maiden!
