    This has that lo-fi/chill vibe that's been quite popular of late and think this cover came out in 1996.

    • @literallyanythingelse
      @literallyanythingelse 2 года назад +22

      the style is very definitely trip-hop a la portishead, which was very big in the early nineties, and which the new lo-fi borrows from

    Has he lost his mind?
    Can he see or is he blind?
    Can he walk at all,
    Or if he moves will he fall?
    Is he alive or dead?
    Has he thoughts within his head?
    We'll just pass him there
    Why should we even care?
    Oh, Iron Man
    He was turned to steel
    In the great magnetic field
    When he travelled time
    For the future of mankind
    Now the time is here
    For Iron Man to spread fear
    Vengeance from the grave
    Kills the people he once saved
    Nobody wants him
    He just stares at the world
    Planning his vengeance
    That he will soon unfold
    Nobody wants him
    They just turn their heads
    And nobody helps him
    Now he has his revenge
    Heavy boots of lead
    Fills his victims full of dread
    Running as fast as they can
    Iron Man lives again!

      I heard it was about a man who went to the future, saw the destruction of mankind, went back in time to prevent it from occuring but no one would listen to him so in his frustration he caused the destruction he wanted to prevent.
      Edit: I think this is literally what the song is about so I'm sure it's up to interpretation on it's true meaning. d:

    Always dug this cover. People who get all bent out of shape over it are just closed-minded. This, and their cover of Talking Heads' Burning Down the House (a duet with Tom Jones) are fascinating! This is coming from someone who grew up listening to all of the above! BTW, Ozzy gave his stamp of approval on this too.

    This actually isn't too far off from how Iron Man would sound had it been a theme song for the original animated TV show. It's almost a perfect 90s take on the same concept behind the lighthearted theme from the original 1960s Batman show.

  • @TheBomber15
    @TheBomber15 10 лет назад +159

    That's actually a fantastic cover. I love the Trip-Hop/Chillout element to it, it's a like Portishead meeting up with Alanis Morrissette and deciding to do a metal cover.
    Just because something doesn't sound like the original doesn't mean it's bad, how narrow minded is that anyway? Same goes for the Ministry cover (which is also good).
    AND; I hate saying this, but I know some comments are inevitable... Before I watched this I was watching wall-to-wall Immortal videos, and I've seen Sabbath live. Just in case some dumb shit thinks about saying I'm not into Metal/the original.

    • @flirtyguy34
      @flirtyguy34 10 лет назад +1

      I'm sorry but I completely disagree. I will admit that I do not like this type of music in general and am a huge fan of the original by Sabbath but honestly I can't find anything about this cover that has any redeeming qualities. it does not even have the slightest nod to the basic riff that defines the original. covering a song does not mean deconstructing it and getting rid of everything that makes it what it is and just using the words to an almost completely different tune. it doesn't have to be a perfect copy but it is supposed to at least resemble the original. this so completely fails that it isn't even funny. I am sure even Weird Al Yankovic doing this song as a polka version would be better than this.
