I concur. I visited England for about 2 months. Although the people were very nice (once you get out of London lol) , the weather was less than desirable.
You get used to it after a while lol I like to think the rain and gloominess as well as the industrial environment in Birmingham in the 70's contributed to the sound Sabbath invented
The Best cover nyone has ever done for a sabbath song.......Phil's voice sounds like it is coming straight out of hell fire.....Love Sabbath and their rightful disciples Pantera.....
Pantera is just one of those bands that when you see that they covered a song it could very well be almost better if not totally on par with said original.
I'm looking through a hole in the sky I'm seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie I'm getting closer to the end of the line I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine I'm living in a room without any view I'm living free because the rent's never due The synonyms of all the things that I've said Are just the riddles that are built in my head Hole in the sky, gateway to heaven Window in time, through it I fly I've seen the stars disappear in the sun The shooting's easy if you've got the right gun And even though I'm sitting waiting for Mars I don't believe there's any future in cause Hole in the sky, gateway to heaven Window in time, through it I fly Yeah I've watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast I've seen the western world go down in the east The food of love became the greed of our time But now I'm living on the profits of pride
The way Dime pulls and bends the strings on the main riff with a TON of distortion makes it really dirty and funky at the same time. Love this version.
in my opinion, Black Sabbath is one of those bands who's songs are very hard to cover because the original is so great (Like the beatles, floyd, led zepp etc...) But only PanterA can take a Sabbath song and make it better!!
Really you like this better than the original? I'm a fan of both bands but no way this compares IMO. Plus, they didn't change anything, it's just a straight up cover, so how could it be better?
@@JKennedy442 vocals are very different than Ozzy's take. And I like them better. Also that solo has some added notes and extra wah. It sounds better this way as well.
You Know What!!! PANTERA did this PERFECT!!! I'm 40 and grew up listening to Sabbath! But the death of DIME was one of the saddest days for me ... He was A oneoff ...RIP Dime you LEGEND!!!!
I'm an old school Sabbath fan, seen um back in the day, loved um all my life, but I have to say that Pantera out did them on this song. And they did a pretty good job on Cat Sratch Fever too. Check it out if u haven't heard it. Enjoy!
Now for a positive comment that is actually on topic to the video. This was the song I heard that inspired me to pick up playing guitar, riding in the car and hearing it on the radio when I was a pre-teen. I've aspired to play guitar like this ever since. RIP Dimebag.
havnt heard this in a few, was just watchin an old sab vid and thought of it. they killed this. man i miss dime. \m/ \m/ reminds me of seein em with sab on the reunion tour a few times, what great shows.
Sabbath is the beggining of the metal esthetics !!! Heaviness and full punch, and lyrics that cover social taboos. Long life to sabbath, its like greek philosophy, alive and fresh as new in these days !!!!!! Long live Sabbath !!!
@INTOtheVOID11 True That Bro! I was fortunate to see Pantera open for Sabbath on the limited 25 date Black Sabbath Reunion Tour and... bowing on one knee the last thing that Phil said at the end of Pantera's set was "get ready to bow to the GOD THAT IS BLACK SABBATH" It was the 14th and final time that I had seen Pantera live and they were definately on their A game that night, but Sabbath made them look like amatuers, not an easy task! R.I.P. DIMEBAG!
Gotta give Pantera credit. This REALLY rocks. I'm an old-timer, so Sabbath's version (the original) is my fave. Don't get me wrong ... Pantera kicks a mean ass. Rock on.
Black Sabbath son los dioses...nadie puede hacer un cover mejor que el sonido original, es completamente estúpido, pero este de seguro es el mejor y el mas brutal...
Always one of my favourite covers This and Megadeath's never say die are my favourite sabbath covers by far Pantera is the best at sabbath covers tho, I never saw one show where they didnt do at least one, and didnt do it well And that was always when they looked like they were having the most fun up there too
@kylesooner11 In the liner notes to Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978), Tony Iommi states that the song title comes from when "Geezer and Ozzy were smoking outside and witnessed fairies in the park, running around wearing boots. As far as Tony knows, it didn't come from an attack from skinheads."
I know everyone likes the original, but man... This, this is like black sabbath but more modern. It's fucking amazing. I love how the guitar doesn't sound muddy, and you can hear the bass a bit more clearer because of that, and phils voice well fuck, ozzy is good shit, but phil... Phil is just the shit. RIP Dime, I'm doing a cover of this one for my school, not black sabbath.. Kick ass
my god, tony iommi is just a fucking genius! he influenced so many bands and music genres. just imagine, he is creator of heavy metal, of doom metal and of thrash metal! songs like paranoid, iron man or the whole heaven and hell album are the beginnings of heavy metal, songs like black sabbath or into the void are doom metal and songs like symptom of the universe or hole in the sky were the beginning of thrash metal! just awesome this man!!
Anyway, idiotic comments aside, can we all just agree that Pantera blew the ass off this cover? Same with Cat Scratch Fever. No disrespect to the Nuge as a musician (although I really don't care for his political views), but in my mind, Pantera's version of CSF is how I always imagined it should have sounded. So raw.

"I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine!" The UK in a nutshell!
😂😂😂 ah m8 our weather’s got some next bipolar issue atm
As an English native I can confirm this.
THE SYNONYMS OF ALL THE THINGS THAT I SAY
ARE JUST THE RIDDLES THAT ARE BUILT IN MY HEAD.

Dark Throne, transilvanian hunger t shirt, pantera's black sabbath cover. There isnt more metal video in whole youtube!!
+ghiribizzi To quote Skwissgar, "Yes, this is metals....definitely not dildos"
I love this picture of the band
oh uh yupp
Pantera is just one of those bands that when you see that they covered a song it could very well be almost better if not totally on par with said original.
Have*
+domvarsalone eatingbanannas i like this better than sabbath's
It's a sick rendition but just can't beat Ozzy's high notes in the whole of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage
Not even close to sabbath Fuk off.
Pretty much certain
The swing on this version is filthy
List of bands that have ever done an acceptable cover of any Black Sabbath song:
1.PanterA
end of list.
jon lamar check out Never day die by Megadeth. Pretty awesome imo too!
Dio did great covers.
ever heard of the tribute album?
Don't hate on a guy here, but I was a fan of Anthrax's cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but this was my favorite Sabbath song so it takes the cake
I'd love to hear someone cover The Writ/Blow on a Jug
The voice is fucking awesome
Not a big Pantera fan but what I love about them is that they love Sabbath and they HONOUR it!!! \,,/
"Not a fan" and "Pantera" in one sentence, wow....
He didn't say "not a fan", though.
Exactly! They're the only band I'll listen to Sabbath covers by
Pantera was, and is the best metal band ever!
Best cover of this song
the bit when he sings "hole in the sky" is simply epic
I'm looking through a hole in the sky
I'm seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie
I'm getting closer to the end of the line
I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine
I'm living in a room without any view
I'm living free because the rent's never due
The synonyms of all the things that I've said
Are just the riddles that are built in my head
Hole in the sky, gateway to heaven
Window in time, through it I fly
I've seen the stars disappear in the sun
The shooting's easy if you've got the right gun
And even though I'm sitting waiting for Mars
I don't believe there's any future in cause
Hole in the sky, gateway to heaven
Window in time, through it I fly
Yeah
I've watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast
I've seen the western world go down in the east
The food of love became the greed of our time
But now I'm living on the profits of pride
TbhIdc hole in the sky, take me to heaven*
Pantera's version of hole in the sky kicks the shit out of Mettallica's version.
you goddamn right!
Angela DeSilva It's actually a Black Sabbath song...but Pantera kills it!!!!
Angela DeSilva Yes ma'am. :)
Scott Brammer She knows that. She said Metallica's cover of it is inferior to this.
When did Metallica cover this song? was it a live recording?
This and CoC's cover of Lord Of This World are the best Sabbath covers ever made.
Planet caravan too
Phil was a huge fan of Black Sabbath and boy did he bring great covers (of course Dime, Vinnie and Rex contributed)
Damn. This is good
I thought they just covered Planet Caravan. Shows what I know.
Which ALSO Rocks :)
Electric Funeral too...
@@chucktouchton398 They also did "Sweet Leaf" in Argentina in 1998. /watch?v=oduYM3OY1Qs
@@caribdude8151 hmmmmm
Excellent!
¡Pantera Fucking Rules!
Dude.....how could you NOT want to play guitar after hearing this song.... Fucking rock on!!
I personally prefer this one to the Sabbath one..All respect to sabbath((My All time Fav. Band) but Phil's vocals just make this his own...
Awesome!!! RIP Dimebag.
this cover is soo good
adoro esses caras
those vocals
4 minutes for headbanging and 4 minutes for neckache healing. Great upload tnx! ;)
Why am I just now finding this?
Me too?! 25 year supposed fan hahah
The way Dime pulls and bends the strings on the main riff with a TON of distortion makes it really dirty and funky at the same time. Love this version.
Pantera kills this tune - Phil's voice is 100% , this man can scream - great rendition !
Me and my brothers party down with sabbath this rocking, rock on world

Love Phil's voice here
Diss is so badass by the greatest Heavy metal band ever RIP PANTERA & Dime & Vince ! Legends 4real !
Yeah that was one of my favorite songs by them. It is SO TEXAS AND HARLEY DAVIDSON!!
awesome cover!
R.I.P. Dime! You have and always will represent Metal! you will always be the fuckin' man!
This right here is probably the best recorded, true to the original, most on the notes and hard as hell Black sabbath cover ever...!!!
-GG PUGSLEY

Living FREE because the rent's never due, SABBATH 🤘🤘🤘
this is awesome! i also really like Pantera's cover of Electric funeral, and Machine Head's version of Hole in the Sky from Nativity in Black II
Seriously Thats fucking great..Phil have a killer voice for that song!!
Fucking unreal. So brilliant I don't fucking know how to describe it.
Best hole in the sky cover for sure!
that bass line gives me chills!!:)
T Rex, the only bassist with the balls big enough to cover any Geezer bass lines!

Everything Pantera did was better then Metallica. Come on now.
+Kevin Bjorn i dont know man metallica plays it better. james just dosent sing it better.
*than
Kevin Bjorn comment status: CONFIRMED
This was Black Sabbath though
Yeah let's compare two bands that play different kinds of metal for no reason, because that makes sense?
Black Sabbath son los dioses...nadie puede hacer un cover mejor que el sonido original, es completamente estúpido, pero este de seguro es el mejor y el mas brutal...
Pantera saca los mejores covers lml
Todos los covers que hicieron de Black Sabbath son mucho mejores, Planet Caravan, Hole in the sky, Electric Funeral
Awesome !!!
I'm so glad Pantera chose three REAL Black Sabbath (with Ozzy and Bill) songs to cover.
Always one of my favourite covers
This and Megadeath's never say die are my favourite sabbath covers by far
Pantera is the best at sabbath covers tho, I never saw one show where they didnt do at least one, and didnt do it well
And that was always when they looked like they were having the most fun up there too
the most played song of my music library

RIP Dime, I'm doing a cover of this one for my school, not black sabbath..
Kick ass
This version is great but the original of sabbath is much better
No shit its not supposed to be better or worse it's called a "cover" for a reason
the original is always better,,it;s the first way we hear it,,,,but the improved on perfection

This is Pantera's way of singing a religious hym to praise the gods of metal. RIP Dimebag
Never heard this B4, I liked it....
Anyway, idiotic comments aside, can we all just agree that Pantera blew the ass off this cover?
Same with Cat Scratch Fever. No disrespect to the Nuge as a musician (although I really don't care for his political views), but in my mind, Pantera's version of CSF is how I always imagined it should have sounded. So raw.
Love this song! :D
@Vatch1966 it is a studio version. metallica sing live there is a small difference.
