I prefer their cover of Mr. Crowley to Hallowed.

you got to be kidden me. ofcourse Iron Maiden. the rest doesnt come even close

Hey we agree on something.

its amazing

Iron Maiden for sure!!!

Close between Iron Maiden and Cradle Of Filth, but I think I've overplayed Iron Maiden so now it would be cradle of filth.

Iron Maiden for sure, sorry to those of you i apparently insulted, let us ruin the point of a forum by sharing opinions, its not my fault that the topic is best Hallowed be thy Name version! I mean fuck people, this is a metal site, one of the first bands that comes to mind is maiden, seriously

Iron Maiden !!! Why did so many people vote for CoF , they ruined the song (at least that is my opinion).

the original is the best. without a doubt.

Just Maiden ... original it's better ...

Iron Maiden of course

I haven't heard all of the covers in this poll, but I can bet that I'll still prefer the original.
Hallowed Be Thy Name is one of my favourite songs, and I think this is one of those cases where covers will never be better than the original.

Iron Maiden's one definately. lml

The one and only is of course the original by Maiden

I have heard only the original by Iron Maiden and from Cradle of Filth, so I will vote for the second one because I like the black metal version better.

Maiden had, has and will have the best hallowed version....
i'm surprised that cradle of filth even got votes...
not that they are bad...but...dani doesn't do justice to bruce's voice...:nono:

Thats cuz one sings and the other screams. Whats with the weird arguments? Cant anyone notice they are completely different versions? I think this isnt a matter of which one is better. IMO they cant be compared. Sure, IM fans tend to "hey this is the original so ur duuuumb to think another version is better". Non-original versions might actually be at the same level as originals if it comes to "coolness" or "awesomeness".

Im not really trying to make a fight or discussion about it by quoting you, but i would like at least people to just post what their option was, and not flame the ones that didnt choose yours.

Iced Earth Version is the greatst! (Besides the original).

beside the iced eart version cradle version is great too

//Yeah to me i dont think this is even a question. Iron Maiden all the way//

Machine Head played Hallowed Be Thy Name in their show here in Portugal and it was quite good!

iron maiden by far.

when they played it on rcok in rio has got to be the best version of the song

Iron maiden ofc.cuz this song needs spirit of real heavy metal.So just Maiden got that among all of em..

I like the Dream Theater's version!

I actually thought this among live renditions by Iron Maiden. They've got by my count 5 live albums (not counting early EPs or Eddie's Archive, that'd be Life After Death, A Real Live Dead One, Live At Donnington, Rock In Rio, and Death on The Road)

That'd be an interesting poll....

Then my vote would go to the Rock in Rio version. One of the first Maiden songs I heard and fell in love with. The performance is excellent.

I'd have to agree.

cradle made a great song greater, darker, faster, and heavier
