  • I look at this as its own song and not a cover. Both versions are great.

  • NOO!!! this cover isss FUCKING BAD!

  • @BrOken166 No! Its fucking awesome

  • @BrOken166 u crazy pal

  • Why is it only showing my views ?

  • This cover make me listen to Depeche Mode.

  • THIS COVER ITS SO EPIC!

  • meatbeat manifesto did it better

  • I appreciate that they gave props to this song by doing a cover, but I strongly prefer the original by Depeche Mode.

  • @greenranger8100 brb need to write down that rly!

  • comparing depeche mode and inflames is like comparing Maradona and Michael Jordan, senseless.

  • In Flames > Depeche Mode, therefore this cover is better than the original. Fact.

  • @Azurani Opinion 

  • SUBSCRIBED!

  • 33 Depeche Mode fans never heard metal before

  • @AntiKythera108 Of course we do!!!! i hear metal and i love it. And i'm a Depeche Mode fan and that's no problem for me. And i think this is a really great cover :D

  • GREAT FUCKING SONG MAN!!!

  • MUCH better then the original ... WOW!!!!

  • This SUCKS! how the hell can ppl think this is better than the original??

  • @mushrmhd6661 It's a different type of music. Just because it's not the kind you like that doesn't mean it sucks you ignoramus.

  • @mushrmhd6661 Uh.. because people's opinions differ?

    Maybe you should consider other peoples thoughts and perceptions before your own and maybe you'd understand why people think the way they do

  • Absolutely brilliant album,Whoracle,Colony,and The Jester Race are my fav albums from In Flames! Brilliant guitar melodies and musicianship period!

  • The funny thing is when people ask me for my all time favorite bands, In Flames and Depeche Mode ALWAYS make the top 5. I. FUCKING. LOVE. THIS. SONG!

  • Hell of a lot better then the original

  • That part from 3:18 to 7:08 is not so good

  • Comment removed

  • @Yahishot Let me correct you there sir, you are a shithead not a metalhead.

  • Was that a voice crack at 1:02?

  • the lyrics serve to close the story told by Whoracle, its a concept album.

  • Depeche Mode is dark as shit.

    Figure out why metal bands cover these dudes, kiddies (Converge, Rammstein, Monster Magnet, Deftones)...grow up.

  • sorry, but this comes nowhere near the brilliance of the original.

  • @skouf007 You know, there's a song I really like by the name of Bad Company, made by a band named Bad Company.

    Now, there's another band named Five Finger Death Punch that did a cover of that song.

    I don't like the cover that much but I don't go on videos and comment that the Bad Company version is better when it's all a matter of taste.

  • @thelossbloodlock

    But that cover is utter shit.

  • @metull666 Maybe in your, and even my, opinion. But opinions differ.

  • I love anders' voice on the chorus

  • Comment removed

  • This is the only song on Whoracle that I don't like. Like why the fuck did they have to include this P.O.S. cover? But even with this shitty song, Whoracle is still my favorite In Flames album.

  • it really pisses me off when people say in flames went to shit. why because they are making it? the music industry would be stale if artist stayed the same or conformed to what there fans of there older material wanted them to do.

  • @SATANICLEGIONS it's both necessary. bands that are changing with the time and bands that are stiff(can i use this one in this context?). just thinking that it's both kinda good like ozzy and in flames who changed with the time and like iron maiden who make kind of nostalgia.

  • In Flames went to Shit!!!

  • very cover of the depeche mode

  • boss hoss version rulz

  • fuck you fucker cut out half way throu you fucking twat fix that.

  • This song sounds better than all the others on this album. Shame its a cover.

  • @heavyasianmetal i kinda have to agree i was not much of a fan of this album. They still kick ass though so its all good.

  • in flames ftw

  • Regardless of its status as a cover, when I first purchased Whoracle this was one of the most standout tracks for me. Beyond amazing.

  • whoa this is awesome!! didn't think this was even possible to cover. im impressed!

  • I laughed my ass off

  • hmm i prefer the one from boss hoss :)

  • Thumb up for all ppl that watchd drakkus

  • @shaddartheimba what on earth is drakkus? and what does it have to do with in flames?

  • @shaddartheimba

    jeah i did... imba vid

  • @shaddartheimba

    jeah i did... imba vid : )

  • I love Depeche Mode, but the way In Flames reconstructs this song is just magical - one of the best covers I've heard.

  • @Vj0pIoXyGenZz actually befor i heard this one i thought that the original one sounds kinda gay^^

  • @Vj0pIoXyGenZz I know what you mean :)

  • In Flames ON FIRE!!

  • me encanta el metal pero mi banda favorita es depeche mode asi que me parece sorprendente este cover

  • the problem I have with this kind of music is that it seems they're trying to hard. its like "ohhh we're scary" lol

  • @StrokedGT Usually the vocal style, I think, isn't meant to sound scary particularly, just more of a dynamic thing. Like the difference between acoustic vs. distorted electric guitar. If you're not used to it though, it's easy to get that kind of impression.

  • @StrokedGT lol you are an idiot...

  • @StrokedGT lol you are an idiot...

  • @StrokedGT Every genre of music has a set of characteristics that define it, this song belongs to the (melodic) death metal genre which features growling vocals, which is more of an effect than anything. There is a ring of truth to what you mention about "scary" vocals, but it's less pretentious than what you're implying.

  • New Wave just got a whole lot more awesome.

  • i dont no wat u guys r talkin bout this song is amazing

  • @destroyah199

    a) this is a cover of another band

    b) this is old in flames

    c) some trolls believe their new albums after about clayman are shit because they are different to the old ones

    end of story

  • @TheM00seSausage im so on board!! Hate the "new" in flames haters!!

  • fuck, In Flames used to be such a great band...

  • @chaaoos dumbass this is their early stuff

  • Interesting cover. Sounds less like a protest song about rampant corporate greed and more a kind of apocalyptic prediction of how human selfishness will end us all?

  • @LordKrezos Mate, rampant corporate greed and human selfishness are the same thing. They're about the same thing, just portrayed differently.

  • @vOddy75 Yeah, I know what you mean. There's a different feel about this cover though. Hard to explain it right, but it just feels more... general? Eh.

  • @LordKrezos Indeed, they feel different.

  • @LordKrezos

    the album it's off (Whoracle) is about the earth before, during and after an apocolyptic events...

  • This is a surprisingly decent cover. I'd appreciate it if Mr. Singerman dropped the growls on the chorus.

  • @toxicgospel But its In Flames. Cant go wrong really

  • @DonJuanStudios Depeche Mode covers by metal bands are hardly ever done right. Rammstein, anyone?

  • @toxicgospel thats industrial....and depeche mode inspired that genre...pretty much the pioneers/godfathers 

  • Its interesting how many death metal bands cover Depeche Mode. Arsis did it too, and I know there's at least one more that I can't think of right now. They just don't seem like a band that would make a good metal cover. But it actually works.

  • This is a heavy cover, original is good but I tell you this is perfect!

  • Sooo much better then original song by Depeche Mode!!!! Awesome cover!

    In Flames We Trust!!!!! \m/

  • i'm not a fan.

  • @d1neu1 Jerk

    just cuz you dont like the music you don´t have to insult the band.

  • @ytje but it is my right to speech, and opinion-and it's the truth. sorry i hurt your feelings

  • @d1neu1 yea at least theyre not dancin around like fucking queers

  • @d1neu1 Listen to old Cannibal Corpse or something like that if you want to hear actual cookie monster vocals. Anders' old growls are reasonably high-pitched for death metal vocals.

  • OLD INFLAMES, IT IS JUST LIKE AN INJECTION OF POWER AND RAGE AT YOUR BODY WHEN YOU LISTEN AT IT. (That's why caps)

    IN FLAMES WE TRUSTED

  • I love In Flames and all but

    Come on , covering Depeche Mode? WTF?

  • @MetalGearNaked They actually did o.O

  • The lies and deceit gained a little more powaah!!!

  • Actually it could be nice to see them do more DM covers in the future, cus this one fucking rocks!!!!!! :D

  • @Metalfreaken Enjoy the Silence would be perfect for them.

  • @alcoholocaust It sure would :P

  • My favorite band is Depeche Mode. Having said that, I love metal, and this version is fantastic.

  • @hauntingrequiems

    I couldn't agree with more :D

  • hmm, interesting...

  • Whether or not its a good cover, the lyrics complement the song material of the Whoracle album perfectly, that's the main reason I like it and think it fits the album.

    This song pretty much sums up the message of the entire album.

  • Not really a metal person per se... but this cover does rock. The fact that they did it in their own style is an honorable tribute to DM.. It's obvious they were moved/inspired not only by the the music but by the content of character of this song and to mold it so that they made it their own says a lot about IF's musicianship.

    I'm sure if DM were to hear this... not only would they be honored, but flattered.

    cont.

  • (part 2)

    Would I run out an buy it? Mmm... Probably not. But, would I recommend this to anyone who was into this kind of music (including industrial and maybe power noise peeps)? Absolutely. It's a good cover.

  • норвеги рулят)

  • Learn how to appreciate music...

    Every band has their own right to cover a song like they fucking want. So if you don't like it, fuck you or try to do something better by yourself. (of course, you can't, because you suck)

    But don't throw shit to other bands, just because you don't like it.

    Music is music, everyone has the right to express like they want.

    Have a nice day :)

  • nice

  • this stuff is fckn good man fuck everyone who dont like in flames!

  • You don't have to listen to it you faggot? And if you didn't know, Dep Mode covered an in flames song in return...You don't see us flaming their cover out?

  • No because you know they probably turned it into an actual song, reforming it from its awful pile of fecal matter.

    oh, and you're homosexual? good for you! as you read this, you probably have balls in your mouth anyway :D

  • Are you 12 or something? If you can't appreciate good music, then get off this vid and go listen to Miley Cyrus or something that a 12 year old would listen to.

  • oh dear, you've ran out of things to say. a 2 in 1 stereotypical "i have nothing to come back with" comment!

    1: you are a very young age

    2: go listen to -insert crap artist here-

    so what's next? "You spelt dat rong." "you have no life"

    I think my point is proven, you're replies will now be ignored :)

    oh yeah, this cover is still vile and awful

    :D:D:D <3

  • If I had nothing to come back with I would not have replied. Like I said, if you like a terrible band like depeche mode, then you should have gone onto a Depeche mode video instead. I see you're using the classic "I'm not replying" comment, to make it look like you're just being the bigger man, when in fact you have lost the argument against someone who is vastly intellectually superior than you and is a 14 year old to boot. Hurts losing to the better person doesn't it?

  • @MrCatFetish

    >a terrible band like Depeche Mode

    and yet they're being covered by one of your favorite bands.

    Nice one, faggot.

  • Talentless fucks? Yet depeche mode covered an In flames song too? Learn to make a valid point and do your research.

  • @spocknax

    You are vile and awful, just reading your fucking poorly constructed sentences appalls me, Ignoring someone doesn't prove you are right, it just shows that even you know the point you are trying to make is stupid. I can tell you are probably a teenage girl due to all the "<3's and :D's" so i think that explains why you are so inane.

  • Comment removed

  • Really? what song?

  • I can't remember right now, i'll try and find it.

  • what song did depeche cover of In Flames?

  • @MrCatFetish

    Dep covered In Flames? :O Which song?

  • @Scarface066 Can't remember, Someone told me about it a long time ago.

  • Damn i didnt listen this song for months

    this cover kills the original!

    In flames i still trust!

  • Oh yeah,what a good choice for such a great album !

    And it's a great cover, In Flames at its best right here :D

  • I love metal

    but I prefer the Depeche mode version

    In flames we trust!

  • i like old In Flames the most, but the new isnt bad....quite good really.....still beats most bands imo

  • Jester race and whoracle are the best albums , then comes colony , i don't even listen to the rest

  • What about Lunar strain, Clayman and Subterranean!?

  • this made me so happy..i dont listen to in flames but i love DM and this is so coool!!!!!! GREAT!!!!...i do like the orginal better! but this is great!

  • way better than Depeche modes song!!!!!!

  • It isn't so bad, but I prefer original version by Depeche Mode

  • WAT

  • damn it. I wanted to do a death metal cover of this.

  • excellent cross-genre cover of a classic DM track - well done :)

  • this song,suburban me,ordinary story,pinball map,colony, and trigger are thier best songs :D

  • oh wow, shut the fuck up

  • dude im gonna give you a strawberry shortcake!;)

  • oh shit!

  • Nonononono you got it all wrong mate. Its Clayman, Episode 666, Bullet Ride, Colony ;D

  • haha those are good songs too!:D

  • In Flames didn't sell out on that album. That has some great work. Not one of my favorites, but I would count A Sense of Purpose as their "sellout" album if anything.

  • An interesting take on Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts"

  • @YokkoKurama know why? cuz anders their singer likes metal just as much as synth/keyboard :)

  • Comment removed

  • who gives a shit?

  • Comment removed

  • This is actually quite good. I still prefer the original, but this has translated to a different genre far better than I'd expected.

    Anyway, generic distinctions of this sort are a bit silly. There's lots of interplay between New Wave and the late 80s/early 90s alternative stuff that influences modern metal, so it really needn't be a case of either/or.

  • ca suck en calisse jai entendu dire ke les fezui de cover sucais des graines

  • At least they didn't sell out as bad as Metallica did...Metallica actually grew vaginas in the nineties.

  • Not that selling out shit. Seriously, why does becoming popular suddenly make a band suck? If you believe they've got worse, I doubt it's a direct result of gaining popularity. Could be trying to refine musical style. And hell, they gotta make money, just like the rest of us. Artists make shit all money from the sale of music, merch is essential.

  • Having a solid fanbase isnt the bad thing it's changing yourgreat style to suit the shitty mainstream listeners. That's what selling out means. You can use the term "MOneyGrab" if you prefer

  • this guy seriously cracks me up ::)

  • stye was one of their best albums, get real

  • I like the DM song and the IF song :)

  • Stay in Flames.

  • Damn, I wish Anders would still growl.

  • in flames wasnt making much money as they thought, even though they were making more then at the gates and darkT

  • One of the best tracks in Whoracle (:

  • This is a Depeche Mode song.

  • this is what they call "a cover" dumbass

  • yes, and as for me, the cover in times better than original.

  • :rolleyes: yeah, as if..

  • One of my favorite all time In Flames songs.

  • love this album so much. top three songs on whoracle:

    1.) episode 666

    2.) Everything counts

    3.) Morphing into primal

  • !.) Whoracle

    2.) Everything Counts

    3.) Morphing into primal
