Northern Kings - Rebel Yell

[kilroy294]

Spell correctly dude.

you spelled your with an e. we that is the world spells it your. y o u r. i like this song.

[LRBT]

@kilroy294 he spelled it correctly. he just left out the apostrophe. you're the idiot spelling it incorrectly.

[Scunon]

Love Northern Kings but its way to slow if youre used to the version of Dope. Much better.

[InTheShadowOfHorns]

Really a case of lyrical dissonance here. Interesting enough though.

[Marxiton]

shit

[MissBlondie61]

mmmm I like

[cezza90]

I've heard many versions of this song, but I think this is the sexiest. Finland - the country of the greatest music and the hottest guys.

[darkwingx1]

i love his voice im looking up every song i can with him singing, theres something about his voice thats so sexy!

[Korppoolainen]

sounds like jim morrison dontchathink?

[canihaveursoul]

To slow but not the worst

[020darkstar]

this cover cool but a little bit to slow for my tastes still cool though :)

[SorrowSister]

I love this version! And the singer is gorgeous and has the best voice ever. <3

[supersaiyanfreak]

too slow !

[xCrystalForest]

I like the version of Sparzanza more, but this is good too (;

[kamelotmerlin]

4:40-5:52 ah , so perfect

[Suno75]

Very cool.

[ValeriaOceanSoul]

maybe it's because I'm not a teenager anymore, but it sounds funny to me..

anyway, I prefer the live version made by HIM.

[ValeriaOceanSoul]

maybe it's because I'm not a teenager anymore, but it sounds funny to me..

[dubbdcrazy]

intro was good the rest is ...eh.the best remake i feel is by:Dope.COB was ok i guess....but the best is of course the original

[frododoingo987]

Billy Idol could have sung that himself...sounds very similar

[mimilovesfish]

oh my god the lyrics just completely went twisted LOVE IT

[stifman28]

yo this sound like they will come thru your window and ravage u and your baby enjoy.

[LittleGoth93]

i just discoered them..and oh shit i can`t get enough

[Erleen85]

What it is with Finnish guys singing so awesome??!!! Jeez... I'm in love!

[Jsuis14]

@Erleen85 Finland=Metal... I say we pack up and move...

[Erleen85]

@Jsuis14 hell yeah! :)

[ravenrapunzel]

Juha-Pekka Leppaluoto's brilliant vocal interpretation of this song has completely transformed its atmosphere from an upbeat party song to a darkly beautiful gothic- tinged masterpiece! Very impressive!

[chadvarn]

This is way too dark even for my tastes.

[NordicStudio]

I've tried too speed up the song (without fucking up pitch), and put It on my channel if it intrests you. And yes this is a cheap thing too post about for getting my channel veiws

[TheKrijgsvrouwe]

I love this version, so much darker and sexyer :P purrrr

[23674]

shitty remix

[Fizex10]

This cover isn't meant to be better, they made it different and a whole new song. thats why it's a great cover.

[jarppak]

'White wedding' please...

[kaas499]

wow this is a little bit creepy but also awesome

[TheSonOfTheSystem]

The video is called Northern Kings so I thought this video contained the CoB version of Rebel Yell.

[StephanMei]

@TheSonOfTheSystem Northern Kings is the name of the band, it is the collaborative efforts of 4 of the best rock/metal bands.

[TheSonOfTheSystem]

@StephanMei Yeah i know. It was a joke ^^ Nothern Kings-Children of Bodom :3

[nininguyen]

i prefer this version to original one.

[MisterCaptainDamnit]

Hmmmmmmm.....nahh..

I like these guys, but i dont like what they did to this song.

[guitarguitarkingking]

fickin dark!!! love it!!

[maloc1824]

they might only do covers of other peoples songs but they make them their own songs by the way they sing them

[DeepAlexander]

I much prefer the cover by Children of Bodom :E

[metalraider187]

hmm, this version is slow paced, but still pretty epic

[tristangeorgethomas]

terrible

[Nightwish5121]

This is one of the best covers I've heard yet!

[Geekella]

damn

[Randomblade1990]

They get overly instrumental.

[lemuriansoul]

Dark cover, but very good ! I think what MAKES a cover song good, is how much a band can change the song, but it's still recognizable.

[PunkSVN]

U suck original is best .!. :)

[LiLiDaGr8]

mmm, I like

[ZhertalShussen]

oh god, this cover is amazing!!!

[ivofradique]

this cover is amazing, the changes became it different and nice, but better than Billy Idol don't exist!

PS: The cover donne by Children of bodom is very good too, watch it

bye

[breaker993]

solo *-*

[cotyke]

you need to shave

[holocausticity]

"and thus, as the song was sung, babies were made."

[xxshrapnailxx]

Oh christ, i'd be crying more more more too!!!!!!!! these are amazing...and amazing looking!

[yurgen95]

extraordinary cover

[alexgatos78]

and who is responsible for this quitar solo??? Good job you...

[ManofWar55]

@alexgatos78. Erkka Korhonen I believe. 

[AleksandarTadich]

cob owned it better i guess .. donno

[Faerthrienn]

AMAZING COVER!!!

[TheWalterP90]

booah what an epic track

[marvtehemo]

For the more gothic approach to Billy Idol..... =P

[mortiisera2]

Cool.. very Type O Negative :-)

[0oBikeRo0]

which band is the real songmaker of this song? ive heard the version of " drowning pool", "children of bodom" and this one....i find the best one is drowning pool ^^

[khx7]

@0oBikeRo0 Billy Idol did the original, you can find him on the side -->

[TheMetalhead98]

@0oBikeRo0 Billy Idol!!!!! lol

[Lcd822]

A little too dark for my taste, but I have to say, that guy in the picture is fuckin gorgeous!!!

[ratrodralphy]

@Lcd822 guy looks like my ass hole .. how fucked up are you ,,

[roundtable5]

@ratrodralphy dude , I think you're a dude because as a female I can tell you this guy look gorgeous indeed

[Cajaquarius]

@ratrodralphy She's right, he has that bad boy look to him. I think it is that devil may care scruff mixed with those dark eyes. He takes black and white pictures very well. Don't judge those who find him attractive because guys aren't much better going for girls like Megan Fox and empty, plastic people like that.

[IXIBloodshedIXI]

The 60 Dislikes all got it in the butt.

[NeoMikey]

@55980840 My opinion is different from yours!  Come, let us insult each other over the internet!

[EsthirMagic]

perfect

[moniburton]

Holy crap, and I thought the HIM cover was good. New fave!

[Cheesecakemilitia2]

Found These guys Looking at the CoB cover, and they are VERy originol, and amazing, Like Linkin park.

[PyjamaWorms]

When I saw what is the band and song, I didn't even have to listen the song to know that its good, it went straight to favorites.

[MrMotastic]

I love the uber heavy riffing during the chorus!

[XXXJacka1XXX]

reminds me of a Deathstars song

[mzpurrzz23]

I am HUGE Billy Idol fan. Living in Northen California, being exposed to 80's heavy metal and hair band scenes. I really dig this song. and I plan to add more. Thanks for sharing!

[pokerus911]

creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy!!!

[metalman6886]

Perfect vocals...creepy, totally fits lol

[KamenRiderNecro]

Veddy interesting! Nice creepy, almost Danzig-like atmosphere. I still like the original the best, but this is more than worthy since it adheres to my opinion on cover songs; either make it your own and put your own stamp on it, or don't do it at all. As well, don't go picking the same old tired songs that everyone and their cat plays over and over and FUCKING OVER. Good job here!

[Soulman999999]

So heavy, so dark, so good

[allmonstersattack]

Amazing.

[slayer66616]

Well at least it's not a copy paste of the song with a faster tempo heavier guitars and a different singer. That's what metal covers tend to be. I'm glad that there are coverbands that actually make their own approach to the songs.

[Ironcabbit]

@slayer66616 That's what makes a good cover...

The best cover songs take the song in a new direction while still reminding one of the originals.

[mega48man]

it looks like 55 people missed the like button

[ahorwood]

This is absolutely superb. What a fabulous idea, a Power Metal supergroup doing covers, I don't know why no-one thought of it sooner.

I have always loved Sonata Arctica's covers (Their Fade to Black is better than Metallica's in my opinion), so this is just like a cake made of all cream for me.

[Ironcabbit]

@ahorwood Did you ever hear their Depeche Mode cover?

[ahorwood]

@Ironcabbit I bought both of their CDs immediately after I heard their cover of 'Brothers in Arms' so, yes, I have heard all of their covers. There are some great, some good and some just OK. their cover of Kylie Minogue's "I should be so Lucky" is actually dire., but their version of Creep is brilliant.

I still think that Sonata Arctica's own covers are generally better. "Wind Beneath my Wings" is classic; just orders of magnitude better than the original.

[Ironcabbit]

@ahorwood That's what I mean - Sonata Arctica's cover of a Depeche Mode song. The name of it escapes me right now, but after 8 1/2 hours at my job it's a wonder I can even think well enough to compose this sentence.

About Wind Beneath My Wings, I agree. It is the only one I've ever found that didn't just recycle the original, but gave the song a new dimension.

[Nightwish5121]

@Ironcabbit The Depeche Mode cover was "World Inside My Eyes," and appeared on the Don't Say a Word single.

[CumSh0tZ]

@Ironcabbit what cover??

[bullet0of0fire]

This cover is really, really good ... !

[vikingmistress]

Pretty fucking hot !! One of the best covers of this song I ever heard !!!

[ellos34]

Omg....O_O THAT IS EPIC!

epic is the only word i could think of! XD

[sucralan]

great stuff! greetings from Romania

[Vassago879]

He looks like he would kill you if you say "hello" hhahahaha

[c197373]

Is this an anti heroin commercial? Awesome!

[melodye87]

The first time I heard this I was like, "A little eerie...But very hot at the same time." Now I love Northern Kings and all of their covers as well as some of the groups they are actually in.

[Bakri13]

i love NK but i prefer cob xD

[FreeThoughtCrime]

Sorry, this doesn't live up to the original. Close, but no cigar.

[Arctivarius]

@FreeThoughtCrime

well that's ok b/c cigars are bad

[bigbuffbaldguy]

I respect a totally different approach to the song.....more sensual. AWESOME!

[ryorque]

My favorite Saturday night activity...

[bloodymax420]

completely badass !!!!!!

[alexfanx]

Too slow.

[dominus48]

Pretty Decent cover i think ....i like COB's cover better tho theres something about a screaming guitar and and wicked solo that just makes u all warm and fuzzy inside lol XD

[naierer]

oh god I love those Finnish bands

[WitchHannah]

Gee, JP's voice is so sexy in this song!

So hot, exciting ,..., perfect! ;)

[JoshuaSuada]

Total shit!!!

[broersz]

@JoshuaSuada c'mon dont sit on the fence tell us what you realy think, rofl!

[nognir616]

Guess I'm the only one who thinks that style is totally unfit to the song...

Respecting the original structure and adding JK's spine-shivering vocals on top would make it a bomb IMHO

[mamamia665]

@nognir616 Actually, it completely fits... The lyrics fit with the music and gives it a complete sound of gothic metal! I love it...

[xxrider1]

that song is really evil :)

just great

[kamocean]

this is NK's best song by a country mile! this kick's more ass than bj penn lol!

[ruda667]

They're awsome!!! Their cover are soooo diferent ang oryginal... Great! \m/ Hell yeeaaahhhh!!!

[eaglehearted]

Awesome a doom/symphonic Billy Idol

[Telefunk006]

sounds a bit like type o negative, don't they!

by the way, type in much better

[GuiltlessGear]

Wow, they actually changed it.

[lament666]

Sounds like Type O Negative

[chess77]

This is an awesome cover but I agree with Jerrefin; I'd prefer it sung faster.

[paulonitbrpro]

why does every metal band do a cover of rebel yell? xD

Children Of Bodom, HIM, Northern Kings, Dope, Drowning Pool...

[schmerzkraftwerk]

because _this_ band was actually founded to do covers ;)

[rikhurley]

@paulonitbrpro because billy idol is so full of awesomeness, they arn't covering him, you just can't hear them over the awesome.

[AnimaSlim]

And Sparzanza

[paulonitbrpro]

never heard of them x) thanks

[salexf]

it's a good song

[m0xalis]

well the Northern Kings only do covers so they're excused to do a cover of that song since that's what they do :P

[Jerrefin]

I think that this is way too slow.

[AvlinJavin]

My god, its so much better then the version of Scooter. It is nice but you can´t compare it to this!

And in the refrain its so erotical with the voices (ok, a bit extreme) but it fit and underlines the text that good, I´m speachless^^

[4waldiwaldi]

OMFG Northern Kings is a band created by 4 metal vocal legends from Finland. This is a freakin' good funcover band. And they are really amazing. Their vocals are totally different, but still they can mix it up so good, that it sounds so good, powerfull and moody. Those guys are amazing and i agree, if someone wants to critisize this band, this person SHOULD KNOW THE MOST SIMPLE AND BASIC THINGS ABOUT IT...

[gleemanvox23]

The cover is decent, and i respect putting their own take on the song but, there's a difference between covering it, and completely ignoring what the song is supposed to be.

[CleverDjembe]

cool story, bro. you're really good at advising professional bands how to make music. Perhaps you should start charging them for your insightful observations.

[gleemanvox23]

don't call me bro you inbred faggot, you don't know me so don't even pretend to be related to me in any way, shape or form. This covers vocals are complete shit and don't fit the song AT ALL. everything else was fine.

[N3VAR]

This cover is very, -VERY- good. They changed the pace of the instruments and the vocals by their tone and timing, The guitars are heavily played, but slow, vocals are beautiful, yet at the same time slightly sorrowful to the sound.

This song is was written as a sex song, it's about having a relationship with someone intimately, Northern Kings, without a doubt, put a very, VERY sexy touch to it, it;s dark, and passionate.

I can comfortably say that this is a great display of musical skill.

[Vassago879]

@N3VAR

you're right man!..and his voice totally goes with this song :D

[AssChinMaloy]

...each of the members in this band have one or more successful, ORIGINAL bands. I think the songs they do are hilarious. It's not supposed to really be serious or epic, its just for fun. I don't know why anyone else who continues to comment ignorantly can't understand that.

[MrMarcoisgod]

@AssChinMaloy i agree with your post.marco has said in usa interview northern kings were like devo and he was laughing.i really like northern kings mainly because of marco and for the life of me if f people dont like it they can listen to it but for gods sake dont post negative shit.i think alot are trolls that follow tarja,and thus they hate nightwish.just my opinion.

[DepOpt1988]

@AssChinMaloy partly hilarity, partly their own way of making a tribute to them.

[videocircus]

They aren't supposed to be doing their own music you idiot LOL.

They are a group of already well established metal singers doing this as a side project for FUN.

Do your homework before you comment.

[premorial]

u are epic asshole !

[UrieRossHaynes]

the way he sings this...............kinda turns me on. XD it's really good. and the instruments are pretty badass.

[Blu1410]

HIm is gay but CoB is very good vocals.

[secret6061]

wow this is one of the most original covers iv heard.. not bad

[Solider92]

JESUS WHo the fuck make that rock and fast song that slowly ?? I think that Droowning pool make the best cover of this billy idol song.

[QuasiTraction]

Drowning Pool doesn't do anything well... except for dying maybe.

[HellHammerX]

whoa!

[d3monloki]

poorly done joke

[69leeman]

this is a great cover, not as good as the original, buts its gold compared to the other bands shit.

[Logistics43]

This guy sounds like a fucking fag. Just like you.

[grabyoankles]

i bet the drummer loves this song,he practically uses 1 hand the whole,hes prolly drinking tea with his other hand and the guitarist probably wishes there was more notes

[Viduata]

@grabyoankles The song speeds up.

[BloodyMina666]

I absolutelly love his voice but not this cover. In order of preference:

HIM

Billy Idol

Children Of Bodom

This

[HellHammerX]

There's a band called This? Awesome

[BloodyMina666]

Bah xD My English is not good, I want to say THIS VERSION

[vaxelhaxan]

I love Billy Idols version, but I think this one is more sexy =P

[PavelBacovsky]

I have to say that I don't like this version as much as I like the original or the Children of Bodom one.

[achromatic1]

doesnt feel like rebel yell. its good though.

[jarlmorgoth]

Maybe It's a bit slow, but this version has discovered a other side of the song. Like "I'm completely fucked up , and I'm a wreck"

-+*+(<my cat says hi)

[trexesteban]

it was a good idea to make the song darker, but it is extremely slow, the only part that sounds good slowed down is the chorus,and tony kakko needs to sing more in this song,I personaly preffer COB´s version.

[GokuSnake]

This version of the song totally kills the song.

The song is suppossed to be upbeat and heart pumping.

This version is slow & makes you want to sleep.

The drowning pool version is 100x better

[kuolars]

children of bodom version is even better

[Lorenian]

Me encanta su voz.

I love his voice.

[philosophiaa]

geiles cover!

[mpys]

a mí me gusta XD jaja!! pero sí es un poco rara :P

[nierii]

i`m gonlly na tell u one thing. i love original version. a LOT. and i don`t really like what Nothern KIngs do. well they had good idea,that`s all. but this one, is good. his voice just fits here.

[LilithCobain88]

poor. :s

[sabotio]

tooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oow!!!!

[JoeKamel3]

This is the only cover that they did that I didn't like so far. Its way to slow especially considering it is such an up-beat song.
