  • The vocals are a too weak for this song IMO..

  • this is the shittyest version i have ever heard. it is a slap in the face to pantera instead of a tribute! everyone is out of tune and sound like they are bored!

  • @SuperFrankypanky agreed. BTBAM dont got no blues!

  • BEST PANTERA COVER BY FAR

  • HAHAHAHAHA these comments are hilarious! You people obviously don't know music. BTBAM is one f the greatest bands out there. Don't listen if you don't like it. No offense to you 80's fucks but BTBAM is by far the best musicians pretty much ever and all masters at their instruments and others. Listen to their actual albums before you bitch. And yes there is a studio quality out there.  And also, they do a lot of recordings themselves, which makes them even more awesome.Thanks for the laughs

  • @billyfigueredo You really don't listen to a whole lot of music if you think Between the Buried and Me are masters at their instruments.. Being a guitar player myself this a pretty awful cover. The bends are sloppy and they don't know scaling to save their life. Maybe they're just bad soloists or isn't too creative when it comes to mixing up guitar lick but I wasn't too thrilled. Not to mention their tone is awful and their squeals are mediocre. Listen a little harder.

  • The whole song is an abomination.

    Especially at 0:54, 1:31, 2:33, 3:47 at the vibrato bit, 4:48, 6:10, 6:22, 6:29 and 6:35

  • @Taco550 i respect that you took time to listen to it, but FUCK YOU.

  • y'all are faggots. this shit is beast.

    and i'm out.

  • Weak. This vocalist just completely embarrassed himself. As a matter of fact, so did the whole band. Is this band supposed to be "prog-metal"? They need to go back to square one and learn to play with PASSION. All the wanky-ass notes in the world won't save you from SUCKING.

  • @1776Matthew: I've never heard this band before, and I respect Pantera immensely, but I don't think you can judge this cover from this video, since the sound quality is rather shite (I would suppose, otherwise very poor production).  I don't think they embarrassed themselves. Of course, it's nowhere near the original, but covers seldom aspire to be. I'd wager this is a tribute to Pantera more than an attempt to best them, and I think it's a decent cover for that purpose.

  • @1776Matthew: Progressive rock/metal is often labeled as being less emotion-based than other closely related genres, but I don't think that's the case, it's a different music style with a different emphasis, which might not deliver the emotions as succinctly for some. Also, of course the original author will (almost) always be able to deliver their lyrics with more emotion than someone who has interpreted them on their own premises.

    (Pardon the long, useless, reply. I blame it on insomnia)

  • @MrForsyth91 Go back and listen to some old Genesis (Pre-1977) or Yes ("Close to the Edge", "Fragile")

    There is PLENTY of passion in good prog. As a matter of fact, TOOL is prog and VERY passionate/emotive.

  • @1776Matthew: I love the likes of Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Dream Theater etc.

    As I said, I don't know much about this band (except they took their name from a _very_ emotive song by the _very_ emotive band Counting Crows), but I don't think they would cover the song unless it had emotional value to them, and I would think that someone who has listened more to them than you or me could detect it better.

  • @csieg123 Phill has been sober for years now and teaches boxing now.

  • @Chulanic good for phil.

  • @Chulanic i hate when prople blame phill for dimebags death it pisses me off to no end R.I.P DIMBAG CFH 4 LIFE BRO

  • A. Phil Anselmo is a drug addict and arguably one of the reasons Dime is dead.

    B. Dime would have shook all these guys hands and said nice job.

    FUCK YOU HATERS!!!

  • @csieg123 phillip anselmo is the reason a mentally unstable fan shot dimebag in the head? that makes no sense at all

  • @palbo4 if you've read anything that is questionably credible(haha) on the internet you would know phil's drug addiction caused problems in the band, eventually leading to their break up. the sorry slob that shot dimebag was under the impression dimebag was the reason for pantera's breakup. thus, through a series of unfortunate events and misinformed metalheads, dimebag got shot on stage.

  • @csieg123 i thought pantera broke up BECAUSE dimebag was shot? and i heard that the fan thought pantera was stealing his music...i think i read it on wikipedia though so who knows how accurate that was haha

  • @palbo4 nono dimebag got shot while he was playing with their at the time new band damageplan.  i wonder what dime would be writing these days... :(

  • @csieg123 yeah i know he was playing with damageplan, i just thought that was his side project while he was in pantera

  • @palbo4 well i was young at the time... buuut from what i've read dime was shot once pantera was done and over with and damageplan was the new thang. regardless, rip dime, a great life and person taken way too early than anyone wanted.

  • nobody should cover pantera its just not right

  • Lol the guitar tone sounds EXACTLY like my old spider IV. Other than the terrible production, good cover and BTBAM never dissapoints

  • Im assuming the reason this doesn't sound very good through my speakers is just it's shitty quality. I'm sure a better quality version would blow my mind.

  • @AsTheTemplarsFell you're the only one who has complained... :/ unless you're being sarcastic, but being sarcastic on the internet is like giving a blind man the finger.

    

  • I love both bands but this cover is good, and thats it, but it doesn't to the song justice. Its nice but nowhere near the origional.

  • EWWWWWWW! What is this?!?!

  • this song is 100 times better than panteras !!!! guitars are just better on this one

  • people commenting on this video comparing it to pantera are stupid. its a representation of a song. its a cover. yes dime was good but BTBAM is a sick band

  • i hate how ppl dont like it cause "it doesnt sound exactaly like how dime played this or that

    " FUCK OFF ITS A COVER

  • Bad quality. What is this? 64kbps?

  • FUCK ALL THE HATERS THIS COVERS GOOD!!!!

  • If Phil Anselmo listen this.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHEET VOICE?

  • @KenOfGraf No his reaction would be "GODDAMNIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"

  • Avid Pantera listener here. Absolutely amazing cover. Dime would be proud.

  • i love the road, great video for the song.

  • I love the pinch harmonics / modern guitar tones and key change...awesome cover.

  • Evile's version is a much better cover

  • Sounds more like Cemetery Fences

  • Isn't CEMETERY GATES ?

  • Is it just me or are those trees growing?

  • @mrdeath0552 yes, growing! (WTF)

  • shitty cover. Shitty vocals, shitty recording, shitty shitty shitty guitar. Only thing that was decent was the drumming.

  • What a shitty recording. BTBAM is a great band but Jesus I could have produced better sound quality on my shitty 8-track studio.

  • @brybry19871987 As much as I like this song and this band, and Pantera for that matter, I totally agree.

  • This is definitely not the best vocal performance by Tommy but then again, it's hard to cover Pantera, especially Phil's vocals. Decent cover though.

  • I wish people knew how to spell. It's Cemetery not Cemetary.

    Shitty job too.

  • NO

  • the ending is the best part!!!

  • they did it because they probably admire pantera, noone can play pantera like pantera did

  • @ayeayeish No can play Pantera like Dimebag. Because you take dime out its not Pantera

  • Haha, he has absolutely nothing on Phil.

  • Wow...in this cover...Midrange-0 Wat the hell man...

  • Great Song!! Just dont be a Dick..YOU DICK!

  • Awe... you cut out the best part of when Tommy Harmonies with the guitars highest pitch. I appreciate both Pantera and BTBAMs cover. good stuff. and not a bad video ; ]

  • @drakodan sorry bro, zakk wylde is the only motherfucker i'll ever compare to dime..the guitarist from avenged seven fold is pretty bad too.

  • Meh. Dream Theater did it better, even with Mustaine's shitty solo in there.

  • This is better than the original imo

  • im sorry this version isnt that good

  • altho its not as good as pantera its still fucking good. let me say that again... ITS FUCKING GOOD!

  • Great song to a cool drive with beautiful scenery. I love this album. Blackened was done better than metallica. hahaha

  • Band** >.>

  • Amazing cover. And I'm so glad that there's some bad out there that respects Pantera enough to make a brilliant cover. RIP Dime. You're sorely missed.

  • @frodo122869 fuck off with your Opeth bullshit nig. this is old ass stuff too, go listen to Silent Circus,Alaska,Colors,The Great Misdirect, and of course their new EP The Parallax:Hypersleep Dialogues and tell me whats up..nig

  • This is actually a prety damn good over good job BTBME

  • These guys kind of give it a creepy feeling to the song

  • An Opeth cover of this has the potential to be better than this AND the original.

  • Help support Portland Death Metal!!!!!! Check out Way of the Yeti!!!!!

  • Given the fact Pantera wrote and recorded this song, there no doubt that their version is obviously better, and tbh, I prefer Evile's cover to this, it has more balls, but this is still one hell of a cover and it sounds awesome! Props to BTBAM, the entire Anatomy Of album has killer covers, especially Blackened.

  • great song...diggin the video too, bro..thanks for posting

  • The most cogent this band has ever been.

  • What if someone was to make a compilation album of all the Cemetary Gates covers that exist? There has to be enough, between this one, Dream Theater, Evile, etc. . .

  • nope, phil sounds way sicker then this dude..and the guitarist is ok but he sure in fuck aint no dime motherfuckin bag darrel.

  • @smokesguy Pfft, Waggoner is easily at least on par with Dimebag, no matter how nostalgic you are. He's absolutely insane, especially live.

  • Shit BTBAM DID IT BETTER!

  • @TTELowend

    you are fucking retarded

  • @mundt0331 nah If I was retarded my comment would have read " DIMEBAG WAS THE BEST GUITARIST EVER!"

  • @mundt0331 sorry bro, BTBAM did it better. just like they did blackened better.

  • @JoeDubG your a mug.. there's no way they did this better than pantera.. I can't believe people are even making that argument

  • Dude I love the video

  • I think Panteras is better, as it should be, but these guys are phenomenal musicians across the board.Its good but not Pantera by far.

  • Better then the original. Sorry Fan boys.

  • @adrianallen22

    cant be serious. something alot of these bands didnt have in the songs they covered was a certain feeling pantera had. this song sounds flat, lacks the heavy feeling. its okay i guess, but no where even near better than pantera.

  • @adrianallen22 You are entitled to your opinion as well as your poor grammar

  • @omgwtfbbq34 You're lucky you have a funny user-name. BTW my grammar was perfect, you'rs is far from it.

  • @adrianallen22 If that's a joke, LOL. If not, I am sad. I really have a tough time telling these days.

  • Wow what a slaughter of a good song.

  • @Metaldisciple666999 better then the original. sorry.

  • Hey bloodthreat thanks for this video/song. good song made better

  • The guitar on chorus is sick, Pantera needs to remaster CBFH

  • The Colors-harmonies at 5:24 sound awesome!

  • This is actually better than Pantera's version. It takes one hell of a band to do that o_O

  • @Mrcrazy80 uh no its not. does it have phil anselmo singing, vinnie paul playing drums, rex brown on bass and DIMEBAG DARREL on guitar?? no, it dosnt. but this is a really good cover, its worth listening to unlike some covers

  • @phreestylesk8r I just think that the song sounds better in E and that BtBaB has done a real succes with it. You can walk around all day and nag about how Pantera does everything better cause they're the best. Sure, they were cool, but not as skilled as BtBaM. That's my opinion.

  • @Mrcrazy80 i just think theyr cover is alot different from the original, and i dont think u can say one is better than the other because the different sound but i get what ur saying

  • i jizzed a little at 6:35

  • The drive that starts at like 5:10 is awesome!

  • i like the guitar in this song better than the original tbh...

  • I question taste of anyone that commented they prefer this to Pantera.

  • @toymasheenSH Because it differs from your taste? That's pretty ignorant of you to say. Everyone has different taste in music. Rather than commenting something somewhat negative on a cover you dislike, you should have commented something positive on Pantera's version (I'm sure its posted up here somewhere). You're entitled to your opinion though and I'm sure you don't give a shit what anyone else has to say anyways.

  • @SuperMutherfacker I like the Us and Them cover but this is just plain wrong. Maybe it's the youtube audio but blech.

  • @toymasheenSH I prefer this to Pantera any day. What?

  • Evile's is better.

  • This is not an ok cover. This is total shit. The guitars are a damn joke. Vocals are terrible as well. How could any band put this on their album and release it? Trust me i know no one can do it like Dime but WTF?

  • @RiversOfGore1 the original was better, no shit, but this is damn god too.

  • @RiversOfGore1 Paul can play a guitar far better then Dime ever could. And it's a cover so the vocals will be different.

  • @Noobacca No, they added an intro and changed style and key of music to fit their personal style of music. They made a cover album dedicted to their inspirations, not to compete with them. also don't disrespect Dimebag. (BTBAM is my favorite band btw)

  • @xScuzzleButtx you have obviously never heard the original by pantera

    they didnt add an intro man

  • @pepperjock You've also obviously never heard the original. Cause the Original has an intro. Maybe not the video but the song on the CD

  • @SwipaXNoXSwipen i no that u dumb fuck im saying btbam didnt add the intro

  • @SwipaXNoXSwipen i no that u dumb fuck im saying btbam didnt add the intro

  • @pepperjock Yes it does you dumb fuck! Learn to fucking spell right and listen to music properly before you shit talk.

  • @SwipaXNoXSwipen lol great comeback and your reply doesn't even make sense with what i said and im pretty sure this isn't a fucking spelling bee so get over it fag

  • is he using autotune on the vocals?

  • @McNuggetButt i think so

  • cry when i hear this song

  • I'm sure I'll get crucified for this by obsessive fans lol. But I like this version a little better than pantera's. I think the vocals are really nice. No disrespect to Pantera.

  • pantera and BTBAM are like my fav bands.

  • I prefer Eviles cover of this.

  • @thinsulite ehhh, evile is alright but i cant get into them because his voice seems kinda weak to me like hes not getting into it, reminds me of tom araya on some of slayers slower songs

  • awesome cover. i like the video too cuz i remember driving to california listening to the original

  • pantera is 100x better as a band, and as humans

  • @charger619c You sound like a giant idiot saying that, because every human can make their own choices, which makes your statement an opinion, which im SURE no one would like to hear...

  • @charger619c Dead humans maybe.

  • @charger619c Well based on that comment, I can tell that you are probably 1000x worse than Justin bieber as a human

  • i like the diiferent feel i get from this cover.

  • I love btbam but thier singer isant a Phil Anselmo the best Pantera cover ive heard was A7x covering walk but A7x and Pantera are wayy more alike but i loved the guitar just off tune a bit

  • All the people saying Pantera did it better, no shit... Very rarely does a cover ever surpass the quality of the original song. Thanks for stating the obvious.

  • @moroseseclusion Only Dream Theater Can make a cover of a song perfect and if not better than the song.

  • Yeah, Pantera did it much better. Can't beat the original

  • somehow the video is perfect

  • Wow... hearing this song makes me sad... BTBAM are some of the best new musicians that rock has and even they could not get remotely close to Dimebag's guitar riffs... RIP Dimebag people will never forget your greatness

  • this. cover.  sucks. end of story

  • @aph613 they had the balls to do it and its not a comparison competition you superficial dolt. get over your confident ideologies and presumptions and accept the world at a deeper level than face value and appreciate everything. its not the original, no, but for the simple fact its totally different people it makes it original and they did a better job than most could do. at least this new age metal band covered good songs. most bands cover rap songs. how stupid is that?

  • bad tuning, bad quality, whatever it is, they still did it with the talent. Im sure if they had the same tuning and gear etc as Pantera did it'd be just like it... but the vocals BLOW dont evem spam someone for saying that, Phil Anselmo was a legend, this is guy usually grunts, it's not his type of vocals

  • @nightdragonx no it really isn't, just because he was an influential player doesn't make him a better player, loads better players than gilmour and look how many people he influenced

  • Yuk! Pantera is better!

  • btbam doing this song is the only mistake btbam has ever made dont get me wrong i love them and all but man this cover sucks

  • @drummerboywunder Well i actually love this cover. I like it better than the OG.

  • @SeanIsaacBillings really?? haha thats kinda wierd for a cover though

  • Of course pantera's version is better. It's their song. And Dime shreds that guitar better then that guitarest.

  • @Rockerchick0010 Dime really isn't better than paul or dusty, as great as he is....

  • @SeanIsaacBillings i understand that. I just mean that BTBAM can never capture dimes sound in this song

  • @SeanIsaacBillings it can never be better than the pantera verison. For god sakes, pantera wrote the song and where the guitarists may be good, they cant get dime's tone of playing style completely and thats what makes the song

  • whats with the video?

  • @wackyoneone

    Driving through la veta pass in colorado... Was bored as shit.

  • not bad but i like pantera's better

  • What the fuck, why does one riff sound like it's in another key? Or am I just stupid?

  • @irarawkstarr Sounds like the whole song is in Drop C or B Sharp.

  • I don't exactly hate or love this cover, I honestly just wish bands would stop trying to cover Cemetary Gates... I will say Paul Waggoner did a much better job then Dave Mustaine did on the solo....

  • this was and alright cover. except the singer needs to grow some balls before he tries this again. especially at the end where he's supposed to be dueling the guitar. he sounded like a retard. and waggoner needs to switch his tone up if he wants to cover dime.

  • @JoelMeOff haha, why? you ever listen to their other music, not covers? and why would you want to sound exactly the same? i'm not trying to call you a douche or anything so don't get offended.

  • R.I.P Darrell Lance Abbott

  • It may not be the best cover, but dont any of you fuckers every doubt some one's commitment to dime and if some one wants to pay fucking tribute...let them with out any hassel.

  • you people are stupid apparently it was a good cover, coulda sounded cleaner but it was dam good anyways

  • it's probably also a demo from before they were big

  • its off the cd Anatomy of released in 2006.

  • The Devils Rejects LOL

  • how could you ever say that? you have obviously never seen there band live...if so you would never say that

  • I have seen BTBAM live... twice. They're a great band live. I'm just saying his singing sucks on this song.

  • @NightmareBladez

    Yeah, He's not a super amazing singer, but I'm pretty sure he enjoys it, plus he's a fantastic screamer/growler so, who cares?

  • @railpoint Dude, Tommy IS an amazing singer. Haven't you heard the new album? Some good singing in there, and I agree with you he is a fantastic screamer/growler!

  • I like this. Kind of funny, when I listen to music in the car I always think of the scenery as the video. Perfect depiction.

  • definiatly not better than pantera!! but it was ok..i'm going to see them in march with lamb of god! how are they as a live band? anybody?

  • Pantera was possibly the greatest band of all time

  • Probly??... DEFENITLY!! YEAHHH :D

  • ...? Where's the last bit of it?

  • I hate when people bitch about a cover song lacking something the original did. Thats why its called a "cover" song. Keyword: "cover". Nobody will ever play this song with as much feeling and passion as dime did but you cant really fault the band for giving it an honest effort.

  • @motox040 or it cld be youtubes shit quality

  • where is this?
