Mystic Prophecy - Paranoid (Black Sabbath cover)

[PoorMarvoloSawyer]

I swear I prefer every cover I have ever heard of this song to the original.

[sociopathicregret]

REALLY good cover.

[BLACKDEMON9317]

MEGADETH COVER IS BETTER

[mrsin47]

of all the paranoid covers, i sould say this is more original...oh, i mean more real metal.

[nickgiroux6]

If people don't stop fighting about fucking music im gunna blast out my brains. Just listen to the fuckin song man, its all beautiful and we all love it. But I do have to agree on one thing, Sabbaths always done it the best

[KamilLewy1994]

love it! :D

[Xoroth7]

GUS G plays guitar at this song???

[Xoroth7]

dropped to D

[KINGOFMETAL3592]

this is much better watch?v=_W22KiKAzqo&feature=re­lated

[1201zj]

That tone is enough to win me over.....wow....

[loveandpeace71]

Awesome version. He even coverd Ozzys voice. I love this song.

[Torreponken]

Best version out there imo.

[TheEscalofrio]

megadeths is way better

[Obituar18]

@TheEscalofrio This is only a matter of taste.

[TheEscalofrio]

@Obituar18 what the fuck just listen to metal

[TheMatthew67]

as long as its metal its awesome its better than rap,techno,hip hop and all that shit.

[18079526262]

its good, but nothing beats sabbath!

[YaMansJaySis]

This is nice but I prefer my favorite cover by A7x

[Fasoun]

Sorry to upset you guys, but the best version of this song is by Black Sabbath. To the dude with the upper comment, if u call that repetitive riffing, then I'll tell you something, Black Sabbath created the riffing, ur reffering to in time they didnt have any combos or anything whats used in metal music to get the metal sound. The cover from Mystic Prophecy is good, I like it, but not their crappy music, its pathetic. Bye

[JezzaN1]

this is fucking unreal. best cover i've heard by far.

[ThePanuch69]

I like all versions mentioned

MegaDeths was nasty nd great

Black Sabbath the best

Nd Mystic Prophecy just made it heavier

I love their guitar tunning

[Imatrollyay]

...

You rip into a song a bit once, and forever get angry replies about it.

[TheOriginal626]

tuning plz?!

[blackbuttermusics]

the band BLACK BUTTER has made a great cover of paranoid

[UnknownCorey]

I fall in love again with this song

[jwXD1]

This song can't be covered!!!

[eramir228]

The guitar sounds very similar to the way Zakk Wylde plays it, tone, harmonics, form, and style.

[redl3ss]

it's really good! but, let's face it... nothing will ever beat Black Sabbath's groove! but, that was not meant to "beat" Black Sabbath, but show the bands respect for 'em, so it's ok xD

[Imatrollyay]

Umm... maybe I just don't like Black Sabbath's style much, but I think this is a thousand times better than the original. It's got depth, personality, not just some repetitive riffing and a slightly mediocre singer in the background.

Is that metal blasphemy or something?

[Obituar18]

@Imatrollyay Nope, is not a metal blasphemy, this is just your opinion =)

[guitarkidification]

@Imatrollyay You just shit all over the band that gave the world heavy metal, i hope your fucking happy.... Because either way, i fucking hate you.

[eramir228]

@Imatrollyay Mediocre singer? I think not!

[Ultradeth5]

@Imatrollyay you're forgetting what sabbath was working with!!!!

[Skaldensang]

@Imatrollyay

good cover version, indeed, but no one will ever reach the original black sabbath one, because ozzys voice fits perfect to the lyrics: desperate and depressed. this version sounds more lika a "happy fun metal" song and can't reach the real spirit of paranoid.

[TheUnamuerte]

@Skaldensang that's why I love the Type O Negative cover. Peter's vocals embody paranoid.

[SpineBusterThrash]

@Imatrollyay that is because paranoid was a filler track on the original sabbath album. apparently they needed 3 more minutes of material to fill out the album...

[wattsta07]

@Imatrollyay its not metal blasphemy, unless ur calling Ozzy a mediocre singer. dems fightin' words lol

[tsikensss]

@Imatrollyay no you just fail to recognise brilliance in it's time. Take into account the gear that each band uses as well as the training and the techniques they have be taught. Of course it sounds better but that does not make it better. To prove my point listen to paranoid by ozzi with zakk wylde on the guitar trujillo on the bass and the guy from faith no more on the drums.

[DeathMetalAngel6666]

why there are people that's compraring this cover with the megadeth cover?

[UsedGuitar666]

Why is this band not famous ?

[tedwine]

Prefer this over Megadeth version

[bachbeer]

megas vesion sucks

[numbskull1974]

@bachbeer this version sucks, Megadeth's cover was awesome! These guys butchered this classc song!!!!!!!!

[snoken90powerkiing]

I acctuly prefer this over black sabbaths original paranoid for some reason.

[dantedoomsday]

@snoken90powerkiing Blasphemy!!! lol jk

[WishmasterTheDark]

I thought that I will never hear ''better than original'' Paranoid version, but here it is.

Great, but I prefer original solo.

[helopeaplee]

i have a poster of the whtout listeng tho them this is the 1ste time i hear them and i like it :) \m/

[sidekilla1]

sick

[USlibertyfighter]

THIS is how metal should sound

[34LOLWTF]

this is epic

[Skid00everest340]

man first they took a bad ass classic song and then ramped it up to the MAX! thats BADASS! LONG LIVE METAL!

[aPROSARMOSTOSMIAZOI]

the guitar is influenced by zakk wylde :P Awesome vocal !!

[IMaiden23]

The guitars sound like Zakks version!!!

[MrMiketysonfan]

third strike does my favorite cover for this song

[ribbit49]

only problem is that the singer is trying to be like ozzy, but awsome cover

[zukyrocker]

Very good cover....

[TheTrooper1337]

black sabbath version >mystic prophecy version >megadeth version >all other \m/

[666Vlad666]

i'd like to hear ozzys vocal over this track ha

[aldolfje]

[frozenfarm]

I never heard of this band.. but holy shit this a sweet dam cover..

[MrHaje123]

[asuschrist]

[asuschrist]

Copying Zakk Wylde style much?

[tino258]

sweet

[biggjammy]

deffo way better than the megadeth cover :D

[andres7994]

tremendo cover, sublime.

[metalzapo]

EXCELLENTE COVER

[realzubunapy]

Ich finde die Version von Rage etwas besser, aber diese gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Beide schön dicht am Original. Schon nich übel, wie sehr er seine Stimme verstellen kann ôô

[jungleman68]

damn. one of the best covers i've heard

[gotdapoison]

The guitar riffs are played just like Zakk Wylde playes them in Live at Budokan, check it out !

[MrBlackincarnation]

Great

[yoursweetpsycho]

great job i´m asking myself how it would sound with growling or screaming (:

5*

[zelaaman]

Great job! You can't beat ozzy though! just My opinion!

[shreddragon]

Damn damn gr8 work... Dave Mustaine's (Megadeth) work is absolutely genious work bt this work deserves 10/10 as wel

[maddoxhell]

Awesome

[destructor244]

great cover but megadeth¨s paranoid is much better

[Obituar18]

well, actually I prefer this version rather than Megadeth's; but hey, everyone have different likes and dislikes, and that's what metal (and being a metalhead) is all about, because in the end, we are brothers of metal!!!

saludos

[destructor244]

yeah that¨s true man , i like this version is very good, the metal is the greatest stuff in life.

keep fuckin

[destructor244]

supporting metal dude

[ilikebeubz]

@Obituar18 me too

[m3tal1369]

@Obituar18 thats most definitely the most intelligent thing i have ever heard on youtube! FUCK YEAH!!!

[donovanjordison1]

@Obituar18 i prefer black sabath

[icedearthneverdies]

@Obituar18 ¡Muy bien dicho!

[metal4life1980]

Awesome cover

[ryan93280]

this fuking awsome! this should play in guitar hero III .

[satanblessmegadeth]

@ryan93280 any good music is too good for guitar hero.

[megamoc]

you're what?

[g1m2e3]

my walls when played LOUD

[g1m2e3]

this rocks

[foxman123456789]

this and megadeths are the best cover of this song ever

[v1rusw0rm]

Best cover i ever heard

[giagu01]

people who say this is gay just dont respect music.

[veskiluski]

This is the best!

[KofataDown]

These gays plays like Zakk played at Budokan 2002...

[plants305]

rhoads is the best cover but this comes in 2nd

[Obituar18]

Martin Grimm (before his departure with the band) and Markus Pohl

[gordonsbrechstange]

@Obituar18

yeah i love that version. its so fucking awesome!!! i cover it with my own band :D!!

in 2008 i joined the last concert together with martin albrecht and martin grimm.. it was aesome!!! they played this cool paranoid-cover and they even covered manowars "fighting the world" in a badass "mystic prophecy"-way!!

[Zusik12900]

the singer really bores me

[Rioter999]

WTF?? :o :o :o This is better than original :-O THE BEST!

[SaintJ1mmy]

This is 100% the best cover of this song.

Who is responsible for this? Never heard of them really :(

[AzBombzEngineer]

Sure kicked the shit out of Megadeths cover.

[uofm97]

I like the slightly thrash-like playing by the guitars in this version.

[jacksonkigv19]

MEGADETH kept there cover original but if they would have done it their way it would have been THE BEST

[pai963852147]

GREATTTT!!!!!

[captainmorgan555]

effing amazing! no way dude...this sounds sweet

[swiftninja23]

this is one of the most coolest cover of this song that i heard

[masonwrestler3]

now that i hear is again, it is pretty much zakk wyldes live version... listen to the 2002 version of paranoid by ozzy

[masonwrestler3]

and the harmonics remind me of zakk wylde

[masonwrestler3]

this is sweet, so much power

[pkingkingbag]

rofl nah black sabbath did better, but nice

[artiepoore]

2 of my friends mike & doug just did a cover of paranoid & me & my brother just filmed a music video for it...so in the past 2 days I've heard this song so many times it's literally making me sick...but i still love the song & this cover is amazing. if you wanna check out our cover search Thieves & Weasels Paranoid cover

[Obituar18]

yeah dude, i'll check it out!!!

[MeTaLbOy0692]

[sXeKenneth]

[yohaijohn]
