Iron Maiden are
a long-standing and hugely popular
heavy metal band. They are cited by
many other acts as an influence, and as such many of these bands
(and, indeed, Maiden's peers) have
covered a variety of Iron Maiden songs. This is a
list of those cover versions.

Also, the Iron Maidens - an all-female covers band who play an
entirely Iron Maiden based live set. A Swedish fan going by the
pseudonym of
Anton
Maiden also released many
MIDI-based covers of Iron Maiden classics. A
string
quartet has released at least one album full of Iron Maiden
cover tracks.
In 2005, many legendary musicians including members and ex-members
of
AC/DC,
KISS,
Twisted Sister,
Motörhead,
Judas Priest,
Deep Purple,
Alice Cooper,
Testament and
Whitesnake
featured on a Maiden tribute album
Numbers
From The Beast for
Rykodisc records. Names such as
heavy metal
musicians Lemmy,
Paul Gilbert,
Vinny Appice,
Dee Snider,
George Lynch,
Michael Schenker,
Nuno
Bettencourt,
Alex Skolnick and
Doug Aldrich contributed to this rich
tribute to Iron Maiden. The album was produced by
Bob Kulick.
Note there are many misnamed covers on filesharing networks, most
common are Sentenced's cover of The Trooper and Graveworm's Fear of
the Dark. These are NOT by Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom
etc.
