Diamond Head Am I Evil

[RedZHunter]

@phukifiy Not faggot but badass muthafucker

[RiseoftheHammer]

SEAL THE PORTAL! GATE TO MADNESS!

[dkbadass]

My god......I don't think I've ever heard metal in such a pure form.......besides Judas Priest. haha

[phukifiy]

@dkbadass Rob halford is the only Faggot i accept

[dkbadass]

@phukifiy Call him what he is....a badass.

[MrHSolo11]

Just so you know, this was Diamond heads original and by far the best version. Uncle played bass and has played with Lars live on stage the jammy git! Stourbridge England rocks!!!!!

[TATELANDDOG]

everytime i hear this, im like oh shit, something evil is about to happen. i love that feeling, and only a handful of songs make me feel that way UP THE IRONS FROM LOUISIANA

[blacksabbathfan007]

1. I am a die-hard Metallica fan.

2. They did a good job on their cover.

3. Original is better.

4. How is doing what you want to do and doing what you believe in "Selling Out"?

[AchelonX]

@blacksabbathfan007 Seeing how Diamond Head had a hard time breaking through (compared to many other BNWOHM bands) I think Metallica covering this song (and many other Diamond Head songs) was a way for Metallica to pay tribute to Diamond Head for influencing them musically, and I also think Metallica's approval of this band has created many new fans for Diamond Head.

Original is better, yeah, but I respect the cover too. ;)

[Cassify06]

this sounds so much like black sabbath!

good band though

[MHLUNA24]

@Cassify06 well no doubt sabbath influenced them somewhat. and they're from the same area (almost) so i guess its no surprise they sound similar XD

[nefhead]

@Cassify06 This sounds nothing like Sabbath!!!

[MetalWar10]

Damn this song still awesome till now \m/

[chemicalMachine59]

this song holds up. I figured I'd like the metallica version more because I'm a fan of them. but i dig the original.

[metalqueenofnothing]

@chemicalMachine59 Fuck you and Fuck metallica. metallica is a shitty sellout band that hasn't made a decent metal album in 20 years. diamond head >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> metallica.

[MsCaradepaty]

Increíble el parecido al Marte, de Gustav Holst. Suena tremendamente bien!

[rowan1325]

Awesome band

[CarEdy23]

the solo is better than eruption

[Mechaghostman3]

This is cool, but imo Metallica's version is better. Just my opinion...

[nuclearruffneck]

99.9% of the time the original version is better. That's why other bands cover them. This is just another great example. Covering a song is one thing, but several is too much in my opinion. Originality is the best of all. Maybe another band(s) will cover it.

[odizdarevic]

heavy!!!!!!!!

[ManniiLp]

METALLICA FOR THE WIN!

[cheesydarkside]

*grates on me

[cheesydarkside]

This version is much better than 'Tallica's, Hetfields voice grates me alot of the time. Sean is a great singer.

[LoveThrashMetal666]

and metallica and diamond head ROCK !

[TokaiStratoShredder]

I love Metallicas version of this song but there's nothing better than Diamond Head's original /,,/

[worldroma07]

yeahh yeahhh!!!!!!

[666thrashmaster]

what version is this

[Murraybethyname]

@666thrashmaster

This is the original version of Am I Evil? By Diamond Head

[666thrashmaster]

@Murraybethyname no i know this is the original i have the lightning to the nations album he's singing it a little bit differently in this one though

[smoooogu]

@Murraybethyname not exactly. this one is from second album "Living on borrowed time" and is about 20 seconds shorter than original from "Lightning to the nations" album. also played on little diffrent tunes, still fuckin awesome

[Slazfreska]

@Murraybethyname Yupppp Metallica copied it but this is way way better....i got the 7" inch vinyl on white label (worth a bit now) and 'shoot out the lights' white label....shit im getting old lolol

[justforthelulzzz]

@Slazfreska

"Copied"? Are you retarded or something?

[smoooogu]

@666thrashmaster this is re-recorded version from second album - "Living on borrowed time"

[Murraybethyname]

prefiero esta version

no me gusta mucho el cover de metallica

EXCELENTE TEMAZO!!!

[TheEstrellitadejojoe]

Adoro esta cancion y el cover igual

[Dark5torm]

listen to this version of it: /watch?v=Z2EiG-9lr7k - alot more heavyer :-P

[2WK09]

las primeras rolas de thrash eran estas y Children of the Grave y Symptom of the Universe de Black Sabbath

[worldroma07]

yeahh great song!!

[RocKdrigoVisious]

esta es la original o la de metallica

[MetalRoyo24]

@RocKdrigoVisious esta es la original lml

[chikari123]

I like Diamonds head's version better, I actually can tell what the lyrics are -___-

[MrKatuska9]

Ambas versiones són muy buenas, pero yo siempre digo que lo original es siempre lo mejor!!

[kingofthedead45]

I use to be evil, but then I took an arrow to the knee

[MetalRoyo24]

Genial la canción!! lml

[lucas65104]

A letra da música é terrível cara,não gostei por isso

[leakhead666]

@zyniker88 ok now that i look at your channel i understand. you listen to the new ulver stuff amongst other shitty music. you should jam the vengaboys sometime

[TheKKarlitos]

Prefiero la de Metallica

[noxcity1]

@TheKKarlitos pero que dises¿¿¿ ellos fueron los creadores de este tema y ademas la de metallica es mierda comparada con esta ciento que metallica es para puros possers

[juan14195]

@noxcity1 hey amigo creoo que es muy su opinion no? si le gusta mas tocada por metallica que por diamond head cual es el problema?? en lo personal tambien me gusta mas la version de metallica por la voz que tenia hetfield en ese entonces... saludos!!!

[MrWhisper72]

these mother fuckers are boss on any north american wantto be metal slayers

[MrWhisper72]

mettalica what? lmfao

[cubby3o5]

Why does this sound different from watch?v=MJYCClXUkyE ?

[DarthAGX]

@cubby3o5 Yeah, you are right. Maybe this is because there is another version.

[ZachMetalAsFuck]

metallica's cover sounds heavier. and not that James is an extrodinary vocalist or anything, but i really don't like this guys vocals .. it seems every cover metallica does ends up sounding better than the original \m/

[91nickt]

@ZachMetalAsFuck vocals sounds more evil in Metallica's but other than that I would say this one is better....

[Wennlml]

I like more Metallica, is much agresive ^^

[metalrulesforrever]

i love this song thats aall you need to say

[errepeerre]

This song belongs to Diamond Head, it's not a fuckin' cover.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@errepeerre

Rofl yeah it is. At least Black Sabbath had the decency to mask the fact that they were ripping off Mars, The Bringer Of War by Gustav Holst by extending the range of the riff and only stealing some notes of the riff. These guys just flat out steal it and don't even bother to change the beat. The intro, at least, is PLAGIARISM!!! I still love it though.

[mdelair420]

@errepeerre Amen my metal breathren..The solo at the end is epic..\m/

[MITTW3R]

FUCK METALLICA HATERS suure im a BIG 4 LOVER butt how dare you TALK SHITT ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BANDS IN HISTORY !

[zyniker88]

@MITTW3R Influential? They didn't influence any of the music i listen to.

[TMalltheway]

@MITTW3R Im not saying Metallica sucks I Really like Metallica but I do believe people are talking shit cause Metallica went mainstream and in A Metal fans eyes

(as I gurantee you know this) Thats bullshit Metal is Underground,kinda off topic but I hate it when all this people say watch this video a million times so we get noticed,Fuck that can you imagine some fudge packer like pdidnt wearing a Iron Maiden Tshirt? his fans would to,we'd be ruined and considerd trendy

[Ben1990H]

@MITTW3R Black Sabbath is way more influential than Metallica.

[CHAOSDEATHCULT]

@MITTW3R fuck Metallica

[ipdanielmetalhed]

@CHAOSDEATHCULT Fuck ur mother

[obliviochamp5986]

@CHAOSDEATHCULT dont knock metallica, they're alright

[getsuga987]

Fuck metallica

[wiseguyproduction100]

My personal theme for the day.

[Numba83thecoletrain]

[maafaka23]

100% trash 

[parkouraliberte]

@maafaka23 Coming from a 100% dick weed.

[dprocks17]

All I know is that this is a kick ass song. Glad that Diamond Head wrote this one, also glad Metallica made it a little more famous. All I know is that I didn't want to miss out on this one.

[666stet]

fuk metallica

[rockinrolla444]

@666stet fuck u

[666stet]

@rockinrolla444 U MAD BRO?

[rockinrolla444]

[greenday376]

[goby999]

This sucks so bad.

[jidm5]

@goby999 Stupid communist jew fag

[goby999]

@jidm5 Stupid English Jew Vegetarian

[LinkmitchTV1]

@goby999 hi

[marivan8]

seriously people should stop comparing MEtallica and DH , 90 % of the comments r about the 2 bands and their versions of Am I evil? They r too different bands to compare them. Just fking enjoy this sound and not fking JUstin fucktard or Lady fuckface

[rongal50]

This sounds better than Metallica :/

[fretdemon123]

The guy on the right needs to start eating his Wheaties!

[kdip9]

I like multiple bands.

[120metallist]

I personally prefer Diamond head's version then Metallica

[Bigdipshit1]

@120metallist Okay you know that... oh wait I couldn't care a rats ass about that.

[Bigdipshit1]

@Bigdipshit1 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[blabberhater]

saw them in Detroit last night, kick ass show

[Purdonnnnn1873]

Far better than the Metallica version.

[evilclunt]

You should thank Diamond Head for everything Sabbath never gave us

[bookworm1138]

here's something new!

diamond head said when they created this song that they wanted to counter Black Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe". i ask you all, which SONG (not band) is bigger - "Am I Evil?" or "Symptom of the Universe"?

[lilbubba247]

i've been listenin to metallica for 20 ott years and never herd the original "am i evil". it blendid so seamlessie into their mix of songs, that i didn't even think of it as a cover song.shows what i know. their Misfits covers are different, and you know it when you hear it.still lovin it all. not saying nothing, if ya know what im saying.....

[joshp6585]

@lilbubba247it makes sense. diamond head was a huge influence of metallica's. they played a major part in shaping metallicas sound.

[1aggiesrule]

Does anybody else think they look like Sabbath in the picture

[CraggerLee]

That Intro is Fucking Epic!!!! \m/

[lod340]

great fucking song!!!!!!

[asswind366]

my ears are acctualy bleeding from listning metal through my head phones i think i bettter stop

[Japxican]

This is one of the few nwobhm bands that i actually like.

[Sodom6661979]

metallica cover to this song was on the kill em album thier first album then they also put it on the garage inc

[staredeath101]

is there two am i evil version of diamond head?

[HamadaTenchu]

@staredeath101 No, only two if you count Diamond Head's original and Metallica's cover from the Garage Inc.-album.

[musclepunched]

saw them at the big 4

[KISSANIMALIZED]

It's an exelent song... real power of heavy metal.

[CarEdy23]

New Wave Of Brittish Heavy Metal!

[penwabmocal]

Truly evil song, better than metallicas version im kind of suprised these guys werent far more popular than they were.

[Ajchimek]

1:20 to 1:31 sounds like eruption before eruption came out.

[MetalSwitch95]

Why has this version got more echo, and got a slower intro and different vocals than the one on my copy of Lightning to the Nations?

[theexecutioner66]

@MetalSwitch95 This version is different because it is the re-recorded version from the ''Borrowed Time'' Album

[floatingcompassmedia]

has more groove than the M cover.

[2WK09]

first ever thrash songs were this one and Sympton of the Universe by Black Sabbath

[VisceralDisgust]

This is easily the most epic intro on the planet, fuck everything else

[stone0fleaves]

haha this sounds whimpy compared to metallica's version

[pet3rgriffin]

I can play this on bass (:

[Ozzmaster2112]

@pet3rgriffin

Niiiiiiiiiiiice. You should upload a video of you playing it. :P

[pet3rgriffin]

@Ozzmaster2112 I don't have a recorder ): but it's pretty easy.

[Ozzmaster2112]

@pet3rgriffin

Aw 0:(

[ceri994]

A NWOBHM classic by a band who were recognized and loved by any rocker in Britain in the 80s. Anybody who needs Metallica to introduce them to that period in rock history...do some research! NWOBHM produced more than Maiden ya know!

[hayousuckhaha]

@MrNikodemu5 welll....how did u hear about...i bet it was by Metallica....so u should be glad it got famous by Metallica because if it wasnt for them we would still be blind to such a great group like Diamond Head

[MrNikodemu5]

I hate that this song got famous because of metallica's cover

[countolaf32]

Metallica's cover kicks the shit out of this song.

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@countolaf32 Fuck off.

[mindblown2011]

@countolaf32 What, you kidding or something? That has to be a joke, these guys inspired Metallica, the true original from the new wave of british heavy metal, these guys, Mercyful Fate, Angel Witch, Blitzkrieg. Have you ever listened to some of the British metal bands?

[countolaf32]

@mindblown2011 No, I am not kidding. I know these guys inspired Metallica, and yes I have heard many of those bands. I still think that Metallica's cover of this is far better though. Diamond Head is not better simply because they inspired Metallica, and even if hey were better, that does not mean Metallica couldn't do a better job at playing a specific song.

[ghostwhiskey]

@countolaf32 i agree,their version just sounds better to me,but thats just an opinion. i think its the reverence they have for this band that inspired them to perform such a stellar version of this song. so in a way diamond head had alot to do with tallica doing such a great cover of their song.i mean james and lars worship these motherfuckers evangelically

[bfpskater]

I'd rather Diamond head not be famous and just an underground pride of classic heavy metal, rather than be the band that breast feeded Metallica. They can stand on their own feet without Hetfield telling his fans to listen to Diamond Head.

[ghostwhiskey]

@bfpskater yeah,but in doing so he made them almost mythical and godlike

[bfpskater]

@ghostwhiskey They just took away the purity of this band by making them "the band that Metallica really like"

Mythical and godlike? My ass. Also, Metallica are seen as a joke, in case you didn't notice, today by many metalheads, who happen to like Diamond Head. So there's nothing mythical about Metallica advertising this band.

It blows.

[ghostwhiskey]

@bfpskater i can see how you feel that way. i still stand by what i said but its just an opinion

[bobmd13]

You should thank Diamond Head for Metallica.

Without Diamond, you would not have the cords trhat Met is famous for :)

Its only now Diamond Head are being recognized.,

30 years too late

Sad

[ghostwhiskey]

@bobmd13 lars often said that metallica was basically a Diamond Head cover band in the beginning. although they are rarely known in the states,they would be even more obscure had metallica not made this a staple in their set . im pretty sure they have not played a single show since 1982 that didnt include this song. still though,DH deserves alot more credit

[GeordieTerrier]

@bobmd13 To the first part you'd have to thank lots of other artists first lol Going way back to classical musicians who we wouldn't have ANY modern music without and can be pretty heavy themselves. Then the first pop artists, then on to Rock n Roll artists, then finally start thanking rock artists. After all lots influences today's music.

To the second part, really? I'm way too oblivious to charts nd rubbish :P Heard this first when I was like 6 in '93. Better acoustic but I like Met's vocals

[FANOFNAFNAF]

@bobmd13 They're not dead. I will see them soon. They ll playing with the big 4.

[Japxican]

@bobmd13 We know! But I like Metallica better because they are heavier. I like this version but Metallica's version is way heavier.

[SpicyDragoon]

@bobmd13 Metallica might have still existed. Black Sabbath and Judas Priest influenced them as much. Oh and a band called Budgie it just so happened that Lars liked Diamond Head best.

[HomageToTheSounds]

i love Diamond Head and FUCK metallica

[HomageToTheSounds]

i love Diamond Head and Funk metallica

[AzraelX661]

@bobmd13 sad aint it

[dprocks17]

@bobmd13 what are you talking about. Metallica has been singing Diamond Head's praises since the 80's. They gave them plenty of PR. You are making stuff up.

[geoffwoade]

@bobmd13 I always thought Hetfield preferred leather trousers to cords, but hey

[Unicron]

is danzigs am i demon influenced by this at all

[Samdbowman]

It's funny how Diamond Head fans bitch about how Diamond head doesn't get enough attention but when Metallica gets them a bit more famous, the diamond head fans bitch about how people only know Diamond Head because of Metallica, Diamond Head fans, thank Metallica for making Diamond Head noticed, and be grateful to them, because hardly anybody would know Diamond Head becuase of Metallica.

[ironmaidenfan6666]

@Samdbowman Well Diamond Head was an important band in the history of Metallica, being one of their first influence, explaining the cover! You say that Diamond Head fans should thank Metallica... Metallica fans should thank Diamond Head too! And fans of old school metal know well Diamond Head (I found the Metallica version a while after I found the original), not everything turns around Metallica my friend! With that said I am a fan of Metallica and I like their version of this song.

[ChaosMaster7]

@Samdbowman fuck you an d fuck metallica

[rkhale02]

look at that ,there smiling! what happened to that in bands today! you can be dark but still be happy kidoes!

[LiamCrowley1990]

@rkhale02 Yeah, my generation really sucks.

[rkhale02]

@LiamCrowley1990

you mean our generation ;D

[E9OCH]

fucken classic

[JesusFrankenstein]

[maneggl]

Metallica doesn't have shit on Diamond Head.

[cookiedieseased]

[MrMetalnotdead]

[FelipeNumpaque94]
