  • battery連呼だけは頂けないw

  • Honestly his voice is perfect for Metallica

  • darum darum da raaaaa darum darum da raaaadarum darum da raaaaa a

    BAtaary battary!!!!

  • He kills it at 3:27

  • 46 people refuse to admit that Van Canto is the worlds first and only a-capella-metal band. Seriously! They have 3 albums and are the only ones who fit that genre.

  • here is the sound that never came to metallica... at least the lead vocal.

  • the singer looks like robbie williams

  • All I got to say is this shit is bad fucking ass! \,,/

  • Bald guy = The only dude who is still scary while singing "Rindididin".

    Also: look at that guy singing the guitar solo and DIE!!!!!

  • Yeah cool, but Beavis and Butthead were doing this to every metal song on MTV years ago!

  • this is amazing.

  • Someone get these guys some Batteries on the double!!!

  • what I can't believe is that someone actually took themselves the time to arrange this shit! Period! =)

  • ONE WORD İS ENOUGH:'' AMAZİNG''!!!!!!!!

  • Is Rob Halford in Van Canto?? haha

  • the bald guy reminds me alot of rob halford

  • Wow, I like this. Everything at this point's been used so many times over that it's just all a gray mass of what was once original ideas, this however I doubt many if any one else on the planet does. On top of which covering metal while using only one's vocal cords and a drum set makes them not only talented but made of raw bad ass in my opinion at least.

  • I like the part where they say battery.

  • Try to be a little bit more open-minded and you'll enjoy more music..

  • Wow. Amazing.

  • Doing rythms like that with your fucking voice is pure talent!

    

  • hahaha wow this is hilariously bad

  • There's clearly a guitar in the background of "ril dil lil lil dili".

  • @gugge92 : There is clearly none. Please don't try to act clever, when you have no idea.

  • @tomimaci Haha, there clearly is, grow a par of ears. It's funny that you tell me to not act clever when you have no argument or anything that would make me think that there isn't a guitar in the background. Listen to it really carefully and you will hear it.

  • @gugge92 Ok so it's your ears against mine. Now tell why is your ear superior to mine.

    Just a side note: listern to their live acts, and you will hear they sound like that.

  • @gugge92 They add the same distortion effects to their voices that other metal bands add to their guitars.

  • I think my jizz may have just made a mushroom cloud...

  • It's cool to see these kinds of things but be honest, would you ever actually listen to these people instead of the respective artists versions? maybe to show a friend, maybe every once in a while to marvel, but besides that, not really at all.

  • @VincentPrice111 That is a matter of opinion, period. Much like all other opinions of music. Music is music, and while one might give props to an original bands version of a song, they can still very much enjoy someone's cover. By "these people" I'll assume you mean Van Canto, in which case you just don't like them, that's a different topic in and of itself. Many people like covers of songs, regardless of artist, better than the original.

  • @MinivarKnight I don't mean to be disrespectful. I figured when I said "These people" it would be taken as the kind of people who do the same kind of gimmicky covers (or otherwise) of songs.

    No disrespect to the merry band, I just haven't heard of them before, not to say unknowns are not good, when they can be very talented.

    It takes a kind of talent to do things like this, but the sound it produces doesn't necessarily appeal to a wide variety. Like if I made a cover using just a Xylophone.

  • @VincentPrice111 Well, I understand your point. Your choice of words in a couple place make it seem you don't mean what you're saying though. "maybe every once in a while to marvel, but besides that, not really at all." Maybe I'm reading that wrong, but it makes it sound like you're saying no one would ever listen to Van Canto do a song ever.

    Perhaps a wide variety don't like this, a wide variety doesn't like country music. While I get your point, it's all opinion is what I'm getting at.

  • @MinivarKnight Well yeah. I was trying to make the point that most people at least would probably listen to the cover once because of how it's done, and listen to the original instead because it's normal.

    Kind of like it's cool when people can beatbox a mario theme well, but most people are going to think it sounds better as an 8bit music track

  • @VincentPrice111 I get it, and agree with you, but listening to a cover then going back to the original because it's "normal" is assuming personal taste. Like Ozzy's war pigs. Mind you I love old school Ozzy, but I often listen to Cake's remake because I think it did homage to it well, and rocked out, so like and listen to both equally, probably the Cake version more.

    Concerning the beatbox argument, I know people who look up beatbox more than music, and none that look up 8-bit stuff of it.

  • @MinivarKnight Ah I get it. It's just things like this can be a bit hard to understand. I know what I mean but it's hard to put it into words without it sounding like the opinion of an asshole.

    It's kind of hard for me to call this music, what with everything being done by voice. It's a gimmick is all.

    Not to discredit the talent or anything of the parties involved. See what I mean when I said it's hard to put into words without it seeming like the opinion of an asshole?

  • @VincentPrice111 Heh, indeed sir (hope you're a sir with that name) indeed. Now that I thank you for being able to converse with me and not go "ZOMG, I'm right, you're wrong, you gay haxxorz!" With me, I believe we are at the point of just differing opinions, so there's not much else to say.

    On that note, however, I have something else to say, lol. On the it being music thing, nothing else needs said, but I would ask you this. A church choir, one organ, rest voice. Not music, but gimmick?

  • @MinivarKnight I suppose it is music indeed. It is hard to call most of the lyrics as such though. Usually in music I rely pretty heavily on the lyrics and most of the time he says "BATT-TREE" and that, is some what annoying to me (As I really don't like how it sounds) so I suppose it is music, but that part seems a bit gimmicky.

  • @VincentPrice111 Well, the whole "batari batari" thing is just filler for guitar riffs, and silly, and I would agree gimmicky. Where they just repeat battery, that's just a little improv, but it's not really the lyrics, as this is a cover, so we're in more agreement than it seems, just a matter of opinion at this point, heh.

    Anyway, I don't see much else that I disagree with you on, so I will say thank you again, sir, for an actual *gasp, shock, horror* intelligent conversation on youtube.

  • @MinivarKnight I would also like to thank you for not tearing my throat on something you seem to genuinely like, when I have a slightly differing opinion.

    Yes, an intelligent conversation on youtube. It is indeed the apocalypse.

  • They sound like faggots when they say battery in the first minute and some times later on.

    Besides that, it's all good.

  • @VincentPrice111 - Hilarious post!

  • hey or you put it in terms of van includes singing and also below

  • hey or you put it in terms of van includes singing and also below

  • did they just do a guitar solo with voice? \o/

  • Hells yes is all i can say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 1:42 is the best part

  • @hunchbakmax Agreed. If james dies i want this guy to sing or bring jason back to sing.

  • anyone who dislikes this has no appreciation for talent

  • OMG this is crazy good awsome ans stupith all the sameXD wacata

  • disgusting

  • PAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

  • It's just amazing but the guy with no hair in the video make me scare ! xD

    Excellent cover !!

  • i mean, their good, but i cant watch the video cuz i keep pissing my pants with laughter THEIR FACES ARE PRICELESS!!

  • Pretty interesting. Quality rises immensely if you're not watching it.  Best advice: scroll down or close your eyes.

  • Of course this isn't actually metal are people really debating this?

  • it sucks!!!!

  • All I have to say is this is just strange ok, to each his own but this is very pathetc to be called any form of metal, it isn't. Its wierd, they maybe talented in mimicking the sounnds of instruments but that just shows that they sucked when they actually played instruments for their previous bands, lol. BITARI, please, germans are funny.

  • Its Brilliant! I would never have thought that this voice concept would work so well. Absolutly Fantastic.

  • Please, come to PORTO ALEGRE, BRAZIL \m/ \m/

    GREAT COVER!

  • honestly I almost can't differ this singer's voice from Metalica's. It's almost completely the same. And these guys rull they're very talanted and original! And I'm right about to start listening to them cause first they imitate one of my fav bands and second they're just great!!!

  • really ugly the "battery battery" in the beggining, imo.

  • sick shit

  • this stuff is garbage

  • @notpunkbutposer You're fucking garbage. Also, you have no dick, and I'm given to understand that your mother is overweight.

  • ra nilly nilly nilly nilly nilly best part

  • The woman ruined everything

  • Their faces are funny!! A love it soooo much!!!

    dilili dilili rakataka rakataka ........

  • ????!

  • so addicting!!!! its epic =D

  • The video threw me off.

    but I can tell it takes a lot of patience to do something like this. Therefore, I approve.

    But, whenever the bald guy looks at the cam, I kinda get freaked out.

  • I guess it's just the video that throws me off and doesn't look good. But the actual music itself is badass.

  • ripota ripota ripota

  • hillariously wierd and yet pretty impressive at the same time, and lets face it, while they make look someone ridiculous in the video they are a long way off beating manowar's ridiculous videos XD

  • riddly riddly riddly...

  • Atari. Atari.

  • fvking awesome!!

  • thumbs up if on the solo ur jaw dropped open!

  • Wow,didnt know the other gay guy from Will & Grace had a second tallent!

  • Okay, these guys are awesome at what they do but i could not take it seriously the first time around. It doesn't help that the singer also looks like Ret from the retandlink youtube channel.

  • The leadsinger of this band kick ass \m/

  • this is so bad ass. talent. its nice to have some in the world.

  • did you really have to say battery so much? the master of puppets one was better

  • how the hell is that guy making that noise on the solo, that is amazing

  • @WickedHergan

    Right. When I heard their "Puppets" cover, I thought they had brought in a guitar for the solo. Impressive.

  • @WickedHergan the dudes voice is probably altered a lot.

  • @WickedHergan they have a micraphone fed into a guitar amp utalizing heavy distortion then it comes out like that

  • omfg that is awsome and they did master of puppets too is really inpresive

  • Fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!! You faggot ass haters go hang urselves... fags. this is fucking amazing

  • great voice solo

  • Really bad video, pretty cool cover!  No waving arms about like an anime character in distress, please. This is metal...

  • @leSahra *waves arms like an anime character in distress*

  • Great cover! I do take this seriously. What is wrong with a certain style of music? This fits like a glove.

  • @eulerpwnzgauss Like they say! No glove! No love!

  • theyre obviously very talented singers, & this is very well arranged, but is there really any need for them to actually sing the word 'battery'? it kind of ruined it for me.

  • um james has a unique voice nobody can sound like him

  • Yeaaaaaah.

  • guys, come on. this is really good! and yeah, nobody can imitate james hetfield's voice, but they did a pretty good job, dont you think? plus it takes a really talented singer to do the guitar parts in this.

  • @kiddo4982 why would anyone want to immitate james' growling, autotune-infested shitty voice?

  • @xZeeMx why would anyone be gay enough to search something they dont like just to talk crap about it

  • @slipknot4life2010 what? I actually like van canto. ADD much?

  • @xZeeMx ok i just wanna say that james hatfield doesnt growl. if u want growls listen to insomnium. and auto tune infested? auto-tuning isnt a virus. its what white people do when they rap

  • @kiddo4982 you don't think anyone can imitate James Hetfield's voice? Really?

  • @kiddo4982 For not being able to imitate Hetfields voice, he does a DAMN good job of it in this and master of puppets covers.

  • There is no person on the face of this planet that can come close to james hatfield voice thats why you got a thumbs down

  • lololol. Matt Heafy on The Crusade sounds exactly like him. Hetfield is an alright vocalist, at best.

  • HOLY JESUS! this is epic! i love this song!

  • sweet jesus! that was worth one watch and one watch only for its comedic brilliance but after realising just how seriously they're taking themselves...someone please shoot these fuckers....please, i'll pay....and kellark12...what? no, sweetie, he did not do a good job of neither imitating nor intimidating mr. hetfield....

  • la wea chanta wn!!!!!!!!!!!! jajjajaajja xD

  • Inserción desactivada por solicitud?????????????????????­??

    podes desactivar la opcion xD please !

  • The singer does a really good job if intimidateing Metallicas singer

  • It's true; James Hetfield takes one look at this guy and is frightened into submission.

  • i dunno....the eyeliner kinda ruins the whole intimidation thing for me lol

  • Their talent is one thing, the director of the video is another. That guy needs to find a new job.

    Pseudo gothing out the band, the wierd dance the chick was doing in the beginning, the special effects, and the just about everything the lead singer was doing was not only plain useless, none of it was metal.

  • awesome

  • Fuck all of you, this shit is amazing! I've taken 6 years of professional voice training and i know how difficult that can be, much less the crazy shit at 3:40 lol Well done. All you whiny bitches are jealous!

  • You know I saw a lot of negative comments on this you tube video. Being a huge fan of Metal music myself, I think its rather original and pretty damn cool that these guys managed to do Battery better with their voices than most cover bands do with actual instruments. I give it two thumbs up!

  • rofl this is terrible

  • great voices, lame video

  • This really is awful. I don't know how this was ever conceived as a good idea. That being said, I did laugh.

  • I absolutely hate this... I'm sorry but in no way is this good to me. The solo did make me laugh though. The singer has talent, and totally wasted it on this. It might be cool on another song might be cool, but I just love Metallica too much to like it.

  • these 5 fags and a dyke ruined one of the greatest metal songs of all time. i hope their plane smashes into the alps

  • If James Hetfield was dead, he would be rolling over in his grave. Cliff however, who is dead, would probably dig this if he was still around. I really enjoy this and praise their originality much the same way as Apocalyptica made their mark many years ago with their first Metallica covers. Long live Metallica and long live innovative ways to enjoy, celebrate and re-imagine their lasting musical testaments.

  • epic.

  • They did freakin bad-ass on this song!

  • WTF???

  • all who say that this verion is good are wrong... ITS AWESOME!!!!! yeah that voices kick asses and aderwet5 its right i never could do that so LIVE VAN CANTO the only bad thing is that this their only cover to metallica

  • @ch4rls96 Master of puppets...

  • Why was this filmed in a church?

  • i think its a green screen

  • dude this is awsome love van cano

  • i love this cover!!!! one of my favorites!@@ and before any of you idiots say "ahaha they suck" your wrong..you could never ever ever ever everr even dream of doing something nearly as great as this...so dont hate on van canto

  • german singers rue!!!!!!!

  • I thumbs downed this comment because I cant accept bad spelling.

  • jajaajaj

    funny

  • made of awesome

  • they are very good they have a talant that people dont have

  • do any of these umm ''singers'' play any guitars?

    shit is sooooo funny can't stop laughing

  • dude they don't use guitars, and it's cool like that, do u know how long it would take to do that perfectly? trust me i took voice lessons for a sertain song, quited like the 2nd week b/c i couldn't talk any more for like a mounth... and it's not suppost to be funny!!!

  • don't matta its still funny rofl

  • IT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY!!! it's realy music...

  • well u must suck

  • your mom must suck!!!

  • @xrainmakerx27 no stupid they dont...cant u hear the solo with his voice??? fucking amazing

  • people will call you stupid, they just don't know what real music is... well this is music!!!

  • You fucking tard this is what we call 'A Capella' which is translated: Without Instruments. The way they blend is astonishing.

  • why cant other people see that??bunch of retards

  • Actually, the "guitar players" in Van Canto played real instruments in their previous bands.

  • hehehe, I like it.

    I think the lead should take over for james, lol

  • Oh my fucking LOooooRD! Never saw this coming. Never would have thought of this in a million years. Only in Europe I guess haha

    BATTERY!

  • where can i download this video?

  • There was no keyboards in the original version of Battery. Just saying. Good cover though.

  • These guys are very talented.

  • 1:42 hahahahahaah

  • this cover WTF

  • wow dude, you cant appreciate talent. and btw nobody likes haters. Get a life ;)

  • hahaha okay bud. dont know what you call talent but whatever go listen to some mettalica

  • Way to not spell Metallica right.

  • The bald guy's beard...

    it's so...

    pointy, and ossim. o.o

  • this is like having my ears violently raped with a screwdriver.

  • I guess you must be a metallica fanboy - surprising, I thought you folks died out in the 90's. Either way, grow a pair, it's okay to admit this is interesting even if the guys you'd let do you in the butt (metallica) may not approve.

  • y r u watching this if you don't like metal...

  • ala madre esa song sta con madre

    es la 1ra vez q veo una banda asi,

    con 5 cantantes, 1 baterista, ningun

    guitarrista ni bajista, la vdd

  • Thats just amazing

  • Cannot kill the family, Battery is ground in me!

  • Just ripped me apart and made my day. Much thanks!!!!
