Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor
Oh man. I revisited this video after so long. But I so wish I was there on the crowd this day. I was into Sabbath long before I was into the Dolls, but really, this is an amazing cover. I appreciate diversity in music, man. Another amazing cover was Faith No More's.
dudes, stop arguing about sabbath and dresden dolls. They are both amazing, and this is a cool cover. Ozzy still rocks as hard as he did when he was 20 too. Now enjoy the music!!
ok new argument dio = best sabbath singer his stuff with them is much better the only thing better bout ozzy is he wasin it at the beginning when they pretty much founded metal but all he did was lyrics tony iommi is rele the father of metal
@ghostwhiskey ya i agree i love balck sabbath with both and i didnt no geezer did lyrics thanks ofr the info and ya i love all good music and zzy and dio r both kickass
Ozzy was great when he created this 35 years ago. Ozzy isn't even Ozzy now, he is a reality show star and commercial pitchman. The Dresden Dolls rock more than him.
ahmishguy your obviously not a music lover but a hater dresden dolls nailed it with their style finesse and TALENT!!! I thank Palmer for covering coinoperated boy and turnig me on to dresden dolls Amanda Palmer for ruler of the world!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this video is a disgrace it destroys the soul of every true ozzy fan out there why why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! this awful it shows that the human race has no more good taste just awful
Are you kidding me amishguy? it is so amazing that they pulled this off with just piano and drums !!!!! not to mention Amanda totally nailed the vocals! dont be too quick to judge the younger musicians.
I have enough to say about this to fill up 3 comment posts but this is what I see...
2 musicians playing a song they Felt like playing cuz they love it. and yes they Felt it. And their very diverse audience came out saying "omg when they played war pigs it was awesome"
thats the way it should be.
and the end of the audio is very interesting to me also, bonus points for that.
amanda has a great set of balls :) great cover, best cover of war pigs since faith no more in the 80's, good to see a song living it large and retaining its meaning almost 50 yrs after its debut. looking forward to hearing more of the dresden dolls work, missed their last tour of aus may have to go see their next one.
That's retarded. Black Sabbath are fucking legendary, and their is nothing wrong with a dark cabaret band doing a heavy metal song justice. That's just how the cookie crumbles.
Jesusmouth, I think they just assumed everyone knew it was sabath. Its like covering Smoke on the Water or Smells Like Teen Spirit, if you don't know the origin its your own damn fault.
When President Obama signed executive orders to end torture and shut down Guantanamo, did he leave open the controversial rendition policy of kidnapping foreigners abroad? We host a debate between human rights attorneys Michael Ratner and Scott Horton
The thing, elusive, thing that makes this song great is the behind, BEHIND the beat percussion of Bill Ward. Not that I have any, ANY, gold, frankincence, or myrrh...but listening to this version makes me think the drummer is trying to get off as quickly as possible. I am guilty as well.
fuckin cabaret....this really, really rocks tho. im not even a fan of this genre, but you can tell when a band just FEELS another bands music. Incendiary performance.
Dude is that guy all Tommy Lee nakey? Not that I EVER thought Motley Crue wuz cool or anything, really I was more of a Poison fan. Truly. Neato job on the song tho.
this is the first real female who has the ability to write fantastic lyrics and play there own tunes and some cover tunes in a different way than usual,but there talent and her intense ability to write is fantastic, and after seeing her on the who killed amanada palmer tour in north carolina on the 14, and being a 44 year old who has seen everyone from the led zeppelin to the cure, and from the dead to kraftwerk she is an outstanding performer and gives it all at her shows, she rocks
Terrible musicians? Please, post yourself playing something as beautiful as "Missed Me", or as physically demanding as "Girl Anarchornism", on either of these instruments.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Beautiful" is a relative term and subject to personal taste. Musicianship, however, is not relative.
Look at the drummer, he's playing a 5 piece kit. His fills are boring. He's attracting attention because he looks like a clown without a shirt. The pianist isn't doing anything special either. They look weird, that's how they get attention.
I listened to the 2 songs you mentioned. Both of them are pretty boring and not "physically demanding" at all. It's very typical of manufactured music.
ohmygod prepare for this possible shock ... *no one cares what you think!* no one is forcing you to watch this, so if you are not a fan, please just go watch something else. we dont want to listen to you.
evidently you have a pretty shitty taste in music.
yes, i am aware that that is based on opinion however, there is absolutely no way you can defend your arguement that their music is boring. and incase you are deaf to sound in some way try reading the lyrics to some of amanda's songs that she wrote.
i dunno. they definatly dont suck but i didnt like this cover either. but i love the band. they rock. but i think cuz im a sabbath fan nothing substitues for the real thing. but they dont suck at all.
Ill ask my boy, they did NIN 'tour' and got to see DD more time then I ever have :( and they're not even big DD fans. but they did vid a few NIN shows and audio recorded all.
There's nothing worse than a cover trying to sound just like the original, it's the epitome of mediocrity. When Natalie Merchant tried to sound like Patti Smith on "Because the night" I lost respect for her.
This is exactly what covers are about. Turning a great song into something of your own, while still paying tribute to it's origins. Anyone who tries to cover a song and sound just like the original will not only fail, but look stupid in the process. I LOVE Brian and Amanda, they're both ungodly talented<33
as i was looking through the comments i found tons about how they should've mentioned that it was by black sabbath..umm, i think that it's such a famous song that it should be quite obvious of who it's by. just thought i'd put that out there.
brian is one of my favorite drummers, and of course, i love the dresden dolls as a whole. they be cool.
i have all the respect for the dresden dolls but they really shouldn't turn a legendary metal song to a cabaret type thing but the singing was awesome and the drummer was okay
I saw them open for NIN in Manhattan, and my reaction was: "WTF is this? Everything sounds like Rocky Horror Picture Show and it's all way too dramatic. Then I found out that they covered "Double Feature" from Rocky Horror Picture Show. Then I heard this cover, and then I was in love.
I understand what you mean graciestars7 but the piano makes it sound naive and innocent, a harder blow and the sabbath version in my mind to the white house.
I disagree, I think the piano gives it a very sinister sound. And their stage presence just makes it so much more...you know. Anyways, I'm not saying the original isn't dark and powerful, I just think this one is more so.
as much as i like the Dresden Dolls, im not really feeling this cover, i dont think the guitar riff translates well into a piano score. the piano just doesnt have that crushing feeling that black sabbath can pull off. I did however when it breaks down and it gets into the solo area, thats when it picks up
Since I love everything that comes from you guys, I of course fell in love with this cover the second I heard it. Amanda, you're beautiful and I love your voice and how you play the piano. Brian, you're amazing and I pretty much just love you both altogether.
It would be the unequivocal zenith of hypocrisy to circumvent this burden of constitutional integrity given the Bush Administration's stated mission to establish democracy in the Iraq.
On April 24th of 2007 Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced a resolution to conduct impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney on the grounds of manipulating the intelligence process to fabricate a bellicose threat from the Iraqi sovereignty, fabricating a relationship between Al-Qaida and Iraq to precipitate the congressional authorization of military force, and has created a posture of aggression against Iran on the insistence that it continues to engage in the production of WMDs.
Amazing The Dresden Dolls would play something so mainstream and generic..But, That said they did an awesome rendition...

I saw them open for NIN in Manhattan, and my reaction was: "WTF is this? Everything sounds like Rocky Horror Picture Show and it's all way too dramatic. Then I found out that they covered "Double Feature" from Rocky Horror Picture Show. Then I heard this cover, and then I was in love.

I understand what you mean graciestars7 but the piano makes it sound naive and innocent, a harder blow and the sabbath version in my mind to the white house.

I disagree, I think the piano gives it a very sinister sound. And their stage presence just makes it so much more...you know. Anyways, I'm not saying the original isn't dark and powerful, I just think this one is more so.

as much as i like the Dresden Dolls, im not really feeling this cover, i dont think the guitar riff translates well into a piano score. the piano just doesnt have that crushing feeling that black sabbath can pull off. I did however when it breaks down and it gets into the solo area, thats when it picks up

Since I love everything that comes from you guys, I of course fell in love with this cover the second I heard it. Amanda, you're beautiful and I love your voice and how you play the piano. Brian, you're amazing and I pretty much just love you both altogether.

It would be the unequivocal zenith of hypocrisy to circumvent this burden of constitutional integrity given the Bush Administration's stated mission to establish democracy in the Iraq.

On April 24th of 2007 Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced a resolution to conduct impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney on the grounds of manipulating the intelligence process to fabricate a bellicose threat from the Iraqi sovereignty, fabricating a relationship between Al-Qaida and Iraq to precipitate the congressional authorization of military force, and has created a posture of aggression against Iran on the insistence that it continues to engage in the production of WMDs.
