This song lends itself best to the metal treatment. It's pounding rhythm and soaring melody is inherent in the song. If I was 15 today and wouldn't know Abba, this would do it for me.
My friends could never guess who Sargant Fury were covering, and were really surprised to find out that it was ABBA. Guess that makes ABBA an honorary metal band.
The whole album shows what great musicians were ABBA. I mean, a lot of their songs could be shaped into metal songs, without changing much of the original.
Indeed. I'm a metal and hard rock obsessive across many of the sub genres and I count Abba in my all time top 20 bands. In fact the only one along with ELO that is not Metal / Hard Rock. This track is for me the best Abba metal cover and one of the best metal covers of nay song ever. The complexity and nuance of Abba's music is vastly under-estimated as demonstrated by a number of serious academic studies of their music and song structures and the sheer 'baroque' tightness and emotion of their arrangements. Sheer brilliance! :-)
Christi Goth Yep. And a number of respected musicians / Rock gods have paid tribute to them over the years. Ray Davies, Suzi Quatro, Andy Scott, Elvis Costello, Rob Halford, Ian Dury. And the great Lemmy too, Today is the first anniversary of his passing. Rest in Power.
They came flying from far away now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High high what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel we climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real Is it true I'm an eagle Is it true I can spread my wings Flying high high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High high what a feeling to fly What a feeling Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please
@dalentalas And the truth is that the original by Abba doesn't sound like abba... I like very much this album... all songs. This and summernight city by therion are the best
@debleek63 the other version is shitty and far worse than the original but I assume its maker had a lot of fun while creating it ;D Sargant Fury's "Eagle" >>>> the original >>>> the other version ;)
One of the best ABBA covers I ever listened.
Metal - this is what Eagle was missing all those years. This version is simply fantastic, by far my favourite on the album.
This is shockingly legit! Sounds like it was written to be a metal song. Love it!
All the ABBA hits would be amazing as metal
@@TheNewAeon2012 they are....look for ABBA metal....
Perfect!
Theres actually lots of metal and rock fans who love Abba, class musicians.
OMG this song fits with this style love this song

still going strong in 2019 !!
This is so amazing
Brilliant!!
The best ABBA cover EVER!!!
Melodies and rock.. Uriah Heap anyone?? loved this.. xx
This is so good, I have to check the original tune again...
great riffs, great solos, great voice, maybe one of the best "original/cover" rates ever
Still think the same, but now I know a bit more of English and I wouldn't say something as weird as "original/cover rate" haha
this is the best cover in the world. of any song. of all times. EPIC
Nice nice nice.....i love that song much as i loved this cover much
Rip Mac,you will be sadly missed !!!!!! Rock in heaven xxx
I always knew somehow this song would be a perfect rock or metal one. I was not wrong.
My friends could never guess who Sargant Fury were covering, and were really surprised to find out that it was ABBA. Guess that makes ABBA an honorary metal band.
Wow that's an awesome cover! This is just as great as the stuff Mac (this singer) did with Threshold later on and THAT'S saying something.
MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!!!
This is actually really good for a cover of an legendary pop band that made history!! Well done!
The whole album shows what great musicians were ABBA. I mean, a lot of their songs could be shaped into metal songs, without changing much of the original.
perfekt
Wow!!! great song and great cover. What a power!!!
You tought brothers. That was great.
Best "eagle" cover for sure.....to bad they never really broke through....great band. Not to mension the tragical death of the singer.
I don't know if even most ABBA fans understand the metal they unleashed as a pop band. ABBA KICKS ASS!
We do. A heck of a lot of ABBA fans are rock nuts too and it's easy to see why. Much of their music is made for being rocked up or metalized.

Brianrrs37 We (all) know, ABBA songs are perfect for Metal.
ABBA Is so much more metal then KISS lol.

Jesus god, this is fantastic!
LOVE this cover :D !!!
Wow, oh my god!!!!!!!!
It's very cool!
Seems that this song was meant to be performed in a metal arrangement!
la mejor canción de este álbum
About 10.000 times cooler than the original. And Mac is a fantastic singer!
BAD ASS BALD EAGLE. love it

This rules!
Oh my god, this is very great!!!!!
Fuck, that cool!!!!
:-×

:-)
RIP Mac!
Jesus christ this is great!

My favorite ABBA song.
This was a good cover but still prefer the orginal like everything.
mp3 please, I wanna hear these while doing gym. :D
fuckin beautiful, props from Montreal Qc.
Rob rocks version is great too
They came flying from far away
now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places
beyond my land and
they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high high I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High high what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
As all good friends we talk all night
and we fly wing to wing
I have questions
and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel
we climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real
Is it true I'm an eagle
Is it true I can spread my wings
Flying high high I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High high what a feeling to fly
What a feeling
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
Can you imagine if Dio was sang this song? It'll be a masterpiece
🤩🥰🥰🥰
@Aph4sia yessssssssss, thats the best.
Not my cup of tea, but I love very much this cover!
Of fuck fuck fuck forever‼️‼️
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOVEEE THIS SONG‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🔸

@dalentalas And the truth is that the original by Abba doesn't sound like abba... I like very much this album... all songs. This and summernight city by therion are the best

@debleek63 the other version is shitty and far worse than the original but I assume its maker had a lot of fun while creating it ;D
Sargant Fury's "Eagle" >>>> the original >>>> the other version ;)
