Holy Diver Cover -

[MrBelvaar]

hey dude, did you transcribe the song yourself, or did you use tabs? if you used tabs, where did you find them? i can't decent ones anywhere

[Viciossoo]

@MrBelvaar tabs ultimate-guitar. just write title of song in google and add ''tabs'' to this.

tabs.ultimate-guitar(.)com/d/d­io/holy_diver_tab.htm

[NJPiineapple]

Look at those power chords go! Love this song but thank God Killswitch made the guitar actually interesting.

[vikVictory96]

wath is the name of the song ??PLS

[rynob777]

@vikVictory96 uhh its the title holy diver by dio

[Blooddrunk10]

nice guitar :)

[georgeygeorgey1]

could you send me the tab please? good cover

[blahblahblah48151623]

ROFL this guy is ROLLING xD he's playing holy diver pretty well, and he's even got the shirt xD

[IzzyThe015]

nice dio shirt man!

[Punkcorefan]

i preffer the kse version

[IzzyThe015]

@Punkcorefan f*ck that d*ck switch engage

[TokingandSmoking]

FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

[jarden69]

Excellent Job!

[AgariRG]

What kind of bridge is on your guitar? Floating tremolo or a Strat tremolo (where the whammy bar only pushes down and loosens the strings)?

[auron2301]

@AgariRG this is no floating tremolo, it's a sat-10-bridge with a vintage tremolo.

[cheqtap]

DIO es DIOs

[OwnageVids10]

How can u class this as a cover when the music and singing is on in the background and all the person is doing is playing guitar. I dont think any musicians in there right mind would class this as a cover

[Kakashi1087]

@OwnageVids10 Look at everybody on YouTube playing along to a song, they are all covers. Just because it is one person playing a guitar to a song does not mean this is not a cover, it is his version of it which therefore makes it a cover

[OwnageVids10]

@Kakashi1087 Lol Calm down i put this 3 weeks ago... I should be able to have my say and not be told by people like you what i can and cant say !!! And it would help if you actually could hear the backgroung music

[PDXguitarfreak]

Nice job man! Love the shirt too! Hey please check out my cover version - I think we used the same backing track (from Guitar Hero?). I added some video footage behind me using green screen technology that I think will you enjoy... well if you are a Dragon Age video game fan :)

[JMEamon]

no. yeah!

[shadowscout777]

where are the squealies? o.o xD

[montenidiffer510]

@shadowscout777 thts KSE's idea

[ScrotimusPrimeX]

this song has a mean solo

[8582roy]

long life king Dio \m/

[OrgodemirDQ7]

The original is the best. Just gotta tell you all. The original vocals were orgasmic. And the harmonics just don't fit into the song.

[noobpower96]

@OrgodemirDQ7

The Original is jsut EPIC and a classic, one of the first Metal songs i heard ( wehen i was 2 or 3 i think) and RIP dio his voice was just awesome !

but the KE version of it is killer too ! the harmonics are awesome and fit perfect well at least i think so

[OrgodemirDQ7]

@noobpower96 I do love the KE version, but there's just something about it that I don't like as much.

[BangLikeABassist]

@OrgodemirDQ7 Because the original song is so much more beast than the KSE cover. KSE made a pretty good interpretation...but come one, Dio is the man!

RIP Dio, Rocking with the gods.

[mbuckhannon]

I love the color, what color is that ? i have the blue one i thought about putting a jb in the bridge of mine but i decided to go with the crunchy rails. ill put a video up soon.

Great cover to man.

[az136947]

Nice T-shirt.

[333reid333]

its funny how half the people that say dio is the god of rock saw him on tenacious d..



[sabretooth30]

great job dio is the god of all metal bands

[pryprygerardt]

curti emmm !!!

legal :)

[goodygoody23]

hey at 0:09 its Eb to Bb quick not the 1st part again but based on the rest of the cover i think you know that. Nice job though this was really good

[LostMusicalMeanings]

@goodygoody23

Not everyone plays by note.

[goodygoody23]

@LostMusicalMeanings very true, just pointing out a technicality in case he does wanna play it note for note

[ChiefBullcorn]

awesome cover man, Dio is the shit and his version is better than the Killswitch version, ohh yeah nice beard! :D lol

[217d3]

awesome cover dude

rip ronnie James

[SonofMorgoth]

dogshit solo.

[TheLyonhard]

Really great cover, and good sound. What is this Mesa V-Twin? A distortion pedal?

[colter000]

probably the best on youtube

[cunnie1979]

Mate, This cover kicks ass. I am trying to play it, and I still sound like shit. But to be fair that is some kick ass playing.

[4everGlobe]

gr8 cover;) Gw man

[Longhorn959]

Turn up the fucking distortion damn

[MRxMCMUFFIN]

ur awsome old man ;D

[TwiZtidPhsycho]

dude i want your shirt im a fuckin huge Dio fan since i was like 4 or five and im 15

[yamakasi676]

hey man can you do a tutorial of this song? please.

[drinkingwithwalruses]

WRCftw, if it was the killswitch version, why would he have a Dio shirt on? Besides Dio's was much better.

[AllMyFri3ndsAreDead]

thats some kool playin man

[flashbang123100]

R.I.P ronnie james DIO the best of all it will be in my heart for ever i had 16 years old and i have learn all that i know from his songs i say hello from argentina...

berni

[shaggy802]

rc fuckin great cover! dio would be proud of you

[Ivan262574]

[PeaceSells102]

R.I.P Dio!

Dio's Version is the best!

[CrowdeDisaster]

i have this guitar x

[samgallagher15]

love the song. but prefere killswitches version

[marcownl]

Cool dude! When i hear this again i feel so sad that Dio passed away last month. May he rest in peace, while other guys like you keep his music alive.

[anime1161]

R.I.P. Dio

[Gyro911]

YOur wasting a good pedal by using it through a piece of shit amp like that. Put it through a real tube amp otherwise its like taking out the power tubes from teh rectifier and using a solid state amp as a power amp

[halodude357]

Killswitch version SUCKS. nice job, nice guitar : D

[XxsteelThreadxX]

RIP Dio

[luiizitho]

PLEASE ANSWER Cruzer is a good guitar brand?

[lottolag]

RIP deo i play a lil different but thats usually how i learn teh songs i play i might post a video sometime lol but nice guitar i play on a jimi hendrix original only its not a left handed guitar i had it made as a right handed guitar so i could play lol

[666davidmetal]

dio RIP FOR EVER TO THE MASTER

[zidane10legend]

i honestly dont get how people can say that the killswitch version is better, they are not bad, but in comparison to dio the are like the skidmarks on the underwear of metal.

DIO FTW

[Jwxx304]

Horns up for DIO.

[trenty90008]

Rip and nice cover

[8Eriquo8]

RIP Dio

[calirez01]

The only tab on the internet is different it isn't as accurate as your version! which sucks cause i wanted to cover this, you wouldn't have a tab of this would you? Whered you learn this dude?

[Wowbagger86]

@calirez01 There are websites where you can buy the official tab. I wen't to my local library and borrowed a tab book with many meral classics. Among them Holy Diver. Great song, and sounds good on a acoustic to.

[Veltins112]

ich bekomm es net hin xd

[Arjalineck]

i prefer killswitches version, dont get me wrong im not knocking dio whatsoever before people start on me

[Redkillahh]

The reason why Killswitche's version isn't better is cuz...you can't improve a masterpiece..

[LWRCftw]

If this is the Killswitch version, it should be C,G,C,F,A,D or Drop C

[rcmontilha]

@LWRCftw, this is the original version, tune (E,A,D,G,B,E).

[PsychoSymantic]

@rcmontilha actually the original is tuned D#

[metalhead6777777]

@LWRCftw u can tell it's the dio version,cause there's no heavy screamo vocals in this one. I enjoy both versions either way,lol.

[LWRCftw]

@metalhead6777777 IMO Killswitch made a terrible song great.

[ctcraam]

@LWRCftw Nothing will touch Dio's and don't get me wrong, i LOVE KSE. I have everything they have produced, but really Dio just wins on this one.

[GuiltlessGear]

@metalhead6777777 You can also tell because there's actual chords in the rhythm section.

[riegrieg]

@LWRCftw yes, but this is not the killswitch version

[heavyrocer]

@LWRCftw Dio made the song, why would he wear a Dio shirt if he was playing the overrated Killswitch version?

[LWRCftw]

@heavyrocer because the kse version slaughters the dio version.

[heavyrocer]

@LWRCftw Yeah alright, sure it does lol

[tapper45]

@heavyrocer

yeah, no shit.

LWRCftw must have got confused about what version it was because of the FUCKING DIO MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.

he must not be old enough to know who dio is or that rjd's voice MADE that song.

[heavyrocer]

@tapper45 I'm only 16 but my ipod has hardly anything modern on it :)

[tapper45]

@heavyrocer

there's some great modern music out there man, don't block it all out.

[heavyrocer]

@tapper45 The only modern stuff I listen to is Evile, Trivium, Steel Panther, Slipknot and In This Moment. Nothing else seems that good, and the videos are always filled with comments of people abusing each other.

[tapper45]

@heavyrocer

haven't listened to evile.

trivium sounds too busy to me, but i haven't heard all of their music.

i love in this moment.

steel panther=awesome.

i like some of slipknot but not all.

new(er) stuff in my playlist

All That Remains, As I Lay Dying, at the gates, Atreyu, black label, bleeding through, bfmv, dry kill logic, escape the fate, eyes set to kill, i set my friends on fire, in flames, killswitch, lacuna coil, lamb of god, one21, otep, protest the hero, saosin, underoath.

[deadally]

@LWRCftw It also doesn't suck like the killswitch version

[LWRCftw]

@deadally dude...you have no idea what you're talking.

[Lichmidget]

@LWRCftw Its totally meant to be the killswitch version since he is wearing a dio shirt, theres no pinch harmonics and the backing track, retard.

[LWRCftw]

@Lichmidget why can't you like KSE and Dio at the same time? Also, for all I knew, he could have been playing it wrong.

[JakeFlor2415]

@LWRCftw how could you not tell that this is the original version by his voice in the beginning? Come on now!!!!

[dammitjack1]

awesome! if you get chance could you check out our version? Cheers!!

[TheMoonman666]

ur toooo good lol ur freakin amazing at the guitar

[toddtl1000s]

Very Cool!

[jeserty6]

HEAVY METAL FTW!

[beaschwii]

epic my man, truely. \m/

[IAR440]

nice dio shirt :]

[JoshTLawless]

bet u wont be able to cover killswitch's version

[Ogy3333]

@JoshTLawless killswitch's version sucks

[CunnyFunt92]

the KSE version is way better in every aspect.

[JoshTLawless]

@CunnyFunt92 u betchyur sweet ass it is

[morbideddie]

@CunnyFunt92 i prefer dio. it has that retro charm i love. like listening to early death or cannibal corpse

[129jasaxos]

good cover but u need more distortion.killswitch is cool to by the way

[09phillt]

could the ibanez gsa60 hold drop c well

[Jamin1854]

dio AND killswitch are both just as good, but they're just different tastes for different people, so let's all just gather round and sing campfire songs :)

[15gnrfan]

Finally the Dio version! the Killswitch version is horrible and can go fuck itself!

[drexeldrax45]

Love the guitar , LOVE the shirt lol

[Resavult]

Killswitch Engage's version sucks, that is all.

[Bojiggles1214]

@Resavult

Killswitch Engage rapes this pussy shit

[Resavult]

@Bojiggles1214 Yes, it rapes this cover. Which isn't very impressive. Dio wrote the song, and KSE butchered it.

[raderw311]

killswitch version is better than the dio version

[Gyro911]

Where is the distortion?

[Riesenkarotte]

I want this T-shirt :D

[TheTyChris]

good job !

[wohnfuehl]

The song from dio is better than the from killswitch! Dio is the GOD of Metal!

\m/

[phantom0111]

@wohnfuehl no ffense... ozzy is but dio"s good 2

[Riesenkarotte]

@wohnfuehl Youre Right Dio is Very Nice but the God of Metal not ^-^ he's the God of Rock :D

[JamesHazBeHaiTyme]

He is the god of metal...

He invented the horns ffs. Its something his grandmother used to do against things she deemed evil. So yeah, he invented metal trademark symbol, therefore he is the god of metal =P

\m/

[Leafiepie]

@wohnfuehl pffft like fuvk he is

[youngairborne18]

@wohnfuehl your either super old or a retard..

[sertyuovo]

@wohnfuehl In italian language ''Dio'' means god! So you're right \m/

[xXxMarjarxXx]

@wohnfuehl well duh lol

dio is a god but i have to say the killswitch did a pretty good job

[Longhorn959]

@wohnfuehl Are u serious? Killswitch's version is way better. Jus sayin.

[SpadeKing1994]

good version of this song... but killswitch engage is better... plus you should try it in drop C and use harmonics during the verses but otherwise awesome!

[tripleh51892]

no killme imgay fucking sucks

[mrsloppy050]

fuck you no replace can replace dios work killswitch are fucking wannbe's

[MrJayO1986]

Great playing dude. Rock on! Check out my version of Holy Diver and guitar videos. Cheers!

[thedeadliest]

does the guitar keep on being intune? i've got a pretty similar ibanez which gets always out of tune..

[Slashgj88]

mmh...i'll load this cover soon!

[mpalm44]

Yes Dio's is good, but to say that Killswitch Engage sucks just makes you an ignorant asshole. They did thier take on it. They put thier own spin on it. If nothing else you cannot say that the original has a better solo to it. Come on, there is nothing to it. I dont mean any dissrespect twords the original. Just dont be a dick and say that sombody elses cover sucks.

[trickthemartyr]

@mpalm44 I think Killswitch Engage's cover sucks also.

Mostly because it lost the emotion that Dio created with it.

They put their own spin on it yes, but it changed it completely and lost a lot of bite.

Making a song heavier and faster does not make it a better song. You also cannot compare the vocals of Dio.

He is an amazing vocalist and can actually sing.

[Marcometal1990]

I cant help but agree on every point. The guitar tone they used slaughtered the song, as did the atrocious vocals.

[trickthemartyr]

@Marcometal1990 I concur.

[GuiltlessGear]

@trickthemartyr How to metalcore:

1) Tune down to C

2) Replace all chords with single string equivalents. Apply pinch harmonics liberally. Especially where they aren't needed.

3) ????

4) PROFIT

[trickthemartyr]

@GuiltlessGear why the fuck did you send me that?

[chode4life69]

tits

[jaxvilleplayer]

great ent they

[salvarhoads]

dude

wich is the tuning??

i want to make a cover, but i think id a diferent tuning than the standart

[khromePMW]

@salvarhoads

Drop C

[Shivemaster]

standard on the Dio version which this one is

[codygerken]

KIllswitch Sucks Dio Rules
