Buh...

Checking Amazon for the new Iron Maiden album (six days!! poing!) I found these:

The Piano Tribute to Iron Maiden

The String Quartet Tribute to Iron Maiden

Of the two, the strings are closer to the actual sound of the songs. It's amusing to hear the violin used to simulate Bruce's scream on Number of the Beast. But still.. Buh?

More frighteningly, these are part of a series.. and they've done Slayer and Metallica.

I have heard Hayseed Dixie. Their cover of "Gin and Juice" is one of the tracks I treasure.

It wasn't so much the different-style tribute, it was the styles. Piano and String Quartet for Maiden? That just boinked my brain.

I'll check the Helicopters out. Thanks.
