Metallica - Hole in the Sky (Black Sabbath Cover)

[Rocknroller795]

2:43 BILL WARD!

[MW2TDS14]

Sucks Pantera's Version is way better than this crap

[savageblue25]

i fukin love it

[darkness7479]

xD, just brilliant how ozzy is banging his head a little

[ChiliPorcelain]

This is horrible! What did they do with this song?!?!?! Total embarrassment for Metallica.

[Fredzep2k]

Metallica USUALLY outperforms original artists in their covers, but with Sabbath they just can not pull it off! Sabbath has a magic to them with Ozzy that Metallica can not capture, especially now when they are at this stage in their career.

[OrochiAngel666]

The best thing they have done in 20 years,... well, except for the voice which is terrible.

[lilsteven05]

listen i love Pantera's cover of this but metallica played "Metallica style" which makes it a great cover...you people need to think outside the box sometimes sheesh

[Deathtrip420]

Kirk has the WORST guitar tone of all fucking time. Pantera fucking shreds this song.

[1969rayzor]

I love metallica but nobody beats SABBATH NOBODY

[Mototrebbia666]

Great song and nice to see Metallica remember it!

[TheRealAsskicker]

For me Pantera's cover is the best!

[keefriff99]

This is just simply fucking badass.

Listen to how fat the guitars and that bass sound. Brilliant cover...Metallica knocked it out of the park.

[pian6666]

I think Ian gill an still can perform his voice like a y

[pian6666]

Like helloween, because big name of the band but the reality James voice vary sick, like deris helloween

[Vektr1]

i like Pantera's over this and the original.

[Videostar1another1fa]

Ozzy is obviously happy about it,and that makes any debate about it being a bad cover stupid.

[CentraCross]

@Videostar1another1fa Who gives a Fuck what Ozzy thinks? The only one to judge this is Iommi. This wasn't meant for two guitars.

[666mathew]

I love Metallica's cover songs of Sabbath...better than the originals!!

[wattsenough]

Metallica is really on the top of their game. This is probably the best hard rock / metal performance as far as quality and mix. Every musician is amazing in their own right but together they really raise the bar.

[Megadeaf75]

@wattsenough lol u talk like you just hear them!! the bar is them they are the bench mark for all others to measure up to.SADLY ONLY ONE BAND IS EVEN CLOSE AND THEY WONT GET A FAIR SHAKE ON THE global market! VOLBEAT!!! have a good one man

[TheJax67]

fuckin good!!! metallica rules the recovery!!

[keefriff99]

This is simply fucking badass. Metallica NAILED this performance.

Love the fat guitar sound...they sound even heavier than usual.

I'm not the biggest Metallica fan any more, but credit where it's due: this is an AWESOME performance.

[jbohler33]

I don't like how they played the second riff, it sounds better the original way, in chords.

[XakTerrible]

I. FUCKING. LOVE. METALLICA.

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@SLAYERMETALLICA357 I disagree. I perfer Metallica over Sabbath (I LOVE SABBATH THOUGH)... Idk, can't compare different genres... i love thrash, followed by heavy so..

[SLAYERMETALLICA357]

People can talk shit on Metallica all day long

But in the end. There aren't many bands better than them. Sabbaths obviously one of the better bands though of course lol

[DonutBabyEating]

@SLAYERMETALLICA357 Don't forget AC/DC.

[dsrocknroller]

@tugbote - sounds good - but not as good as Metallica.

[trikefearson]

2:31 Geezer approves as well

[blackakuma]

Thanks brother. I don't mean to flame Metallica.

[ChibiMMM]

1:54 look at ozzy :DDD

[puckernuts75]

Would of love to hear hetfield sing this ..

[blackakuma]

Pantera owns Metallica in every aspect. Including this cover.

[trikefearson]

@blackakuma true story

[pippimaxim]

they couldve afforded to do this song in D

[thememoryremains100]

high notes are not james's best friend...

[PanicBike]

0:10 SHRAROOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

Pantera couldn't play this song to save what's left of their balls after JB got through sucking them...

[lordduluthian]

Pantera's version is better.

[autopsy87]

the feel wasnt there man. i like that they did their own version of it, but the original has that fuckin groove that makes you wanna get up and punch the people who dont get it. pantera NAILED the groove. call me what you will, panteras version greatly exceeds this one.

[zgngor]

Band sounds great.

[y890x]

so sick wish there was a live vid of them playing a national acrobat as well

[wyldeyouth]

almost nailed it. james voice cracks all the time

[zeppelin1996]

That bass player just annoys me. How is it even comfortable to play your bass that low?? Why not stand it up right on the ground and play it like that?

[Grimasasmijeha]

@zeppelin1996

That calls COVER, my hard rocking amigo!

[Braatass83]

@zeppelin1996 why have it hanging on your chest? its all about what feels best :)

[zeppelin1996]

@Braatass83 I prefer to play my guitar/bass around my waist. Not too high but not too low. Right in the middle.

[ZooooomBoom22]

@zeppelin1996 i play my guitar behind my fking head <3 but it dont sound good D:

[Bjorkoby]

This is actually pretty damned good :))

[Jerrongamereview]

0:54 John Lennon?

[metalsaxon]

Gawd what a joke

[TheGoddessCaroline]

I know every young metal head is on a hate Metallica thing but I give all music a fair shot. I love their covers so far but don't always want to hear it on the radio. Damn, this is good though. Black Sabbath just writes some great songs!!! I love this rendition,they stuck to the original song!! Right on Metallica!!!! Such great tones here! Lucky audience to be there for this. I would have been rocking.

[stiller85]

Does James has a rubber band around his balls while singing this?

[gabor584]

lol Trujillos face at 0:40

[gazzac10]

It Amazes me How You all fight TRIBAL Style among howselves when there is clearly A bigger Fight on our hands JEEZ FFS SABBATH R The DOGS Metallica and Pantera produced brilliant Covers Yeah different but Great covers !!! Fuck with POP and RAP and DANCE and all the other shit BUT BECOME ONE!!!

[colzimo]

i like more Pantera version

[racincrj]

jeames cant hit the notes ozzy made this song with

[CaptainWazzock]

I still cant understand why metallica are so good live,

as simple song it may be, its not only tight, but it just sounds HUGE.

Even ozzy and geezer were having a good old headbang

[TikofTok]

@CaptainWazzock

I know exactly what you mean. Those tones are in perfect sync. That bass is just blasting out. The sound hit me like a wave. Such a nice set up.

[essbani]

awesome.... but not the best vocals, .......still awesome tho:0)

[CailevMetalCover]

Awesome :D

[slayerareawesome]

Why does Kirk always insist on wearing a suit at these sorta things? everybody just comes in normal clothing ffs, you would have thought he would have learnt by now!

[JohnKonorJunior]

@slayerareawesome

Better to be the only guy in a suit than the only guy without one.

[BUZZCUT1231]

Pantera's version was way better.

[TheShepster80]

Good stuff.

[rayschalch]

Holy crap!! the tribute was amazing!! \m/

[achedrick1]

Ozzy was probably like this sounds familiar.

[vampslayerace]

@achedrick1 Nah, he was probably so ripped out of his mind he was like, "This is awesome. I wish I wrote that."

[bilotin]

hey this voice is faggot



[showtimescott]

What the fuck, why does Lars keep James around, he should have hired Phil, then maybe we would be able to hear the lyrics live. Get ure facts rite jackass Metallica is Lars band.

[colombobogota]

@showtimescott haaaa fagget metallica wouldnt be nothing without james either cocksucker

[Olbass]

You gotta love Ozzy's headbang at 1:54 !

[luc00leh]

Thumbs up if you want Metallica to cover Sunshine of Your Love.

[Porty1119]

Win. Why can't everything on YouTube be this awesome?

[AtanasovPetar]

I have no idea how James Hetfield took Kirk Hammett in Metallica with this horrible vibrato.He just never learned for 30 + years.

[OrochiAngel666]

@VagabondMusicCo i did... that's why comment has sense. jojojo

[JogoMetall]

I think u dont understand why they are do cover the songs from metallica.

[belongin]

my god, this cover sucks so hard

[heavyfuck]

@belongin you're fucking right god"the fucking" damn it

[Rammoshe1]

Boobs in 0:10

[MssBlackeneD]

Hole in the sky is my best Black Sabbath song

Metallica is my favorite band, so i love them all

[Nevermind0309]

James was trying too hard to sound like Ozzy.  He should have just sang normally. =/

[yaSso0oR14]

@Nevermind0309 If ozzy tried to cover one of metallica's (for example enter sandman) ... he would try too hard to sound like james hetfield ... dont u think?

[Nevermind0309]

@yaSso0oR14

Probably, I think that that's a habit a lot of bands' singers make whenever they cover songs.

[mukthegreat]

after watching this i fell good, thank you black sabbath, and metallica!

[MetalManiac66]

i feel bad for James, his voice is shot there isn't enough juice for him to sing this song, imagine them covering this song back in 86, that would sound awesome! and guys who dis Kirk, there isn't anything wrong with him, he's a great guitarist and came up with MOST of Metallica's best solos!

[SpliffordDubois]

Hetfield lacks balls on vocals

[shootonface]

ozz likes...just look at him man!

[apocolypticchrist]

god dammit metallica.....lose kirk hammet

[JSKlunk]

Despite the song they're playing, this is awesome enough due to the fact that Kirk is playing Metal in a suit.

[metallicker123]

@JSKlunk im sorry, what is wrong with the song they're playing this song is timeless and awesome man

[JSKlunk]

@metallicker123 Sorry, I worded it wrong. I meant to say 'along with the song they're playing'. I love this song, especially the rest the album it's on.

[metallicker123]

@JSKlunk alright man no worries i thought you was bad mouthing black sabbath lol but then i thought that impossible :)

[INTOtheVOID11]

Lars fuckin sucks at drums, no feel at all. Rest of the band sounded good.

[Jookkor]

they have turned a perfectly god song into a faggot anthem by virtue of playing it

Sick fuckers

[timijai22]

Metallica fuckin' beasting on an Ozzy song. Just proves no matter what, they always play balls out no matter what song it is.

[minusthebear59]

@timijai22 its not an ozzy song......... black sabbath

[metalhardrockerhead]

just imagine three years later they were being inducted into the place they just performed in >MetallicA 4LYFE<

[cm13thrash]

Its cool to hate Metallica, I love them, so Im lame.

[jimmyredpant]

wheres bill wards fills? - not really doing sabbath any justice.

[haszpla]

(I'm just asking) Why is MetallicA covering almost every known classic rock song?

I'm not saying it's bad..pretty good on guitar ..metallica style...vocals kinda muted but altought its ok.

[Nursesaids]

Music wise, not bad. Vocal wise...oh god.

[eclipse01]

This version is just awful. I like Metallica but, seriously, they should have tried covering another song. James can't even sing it properly. They just ruined the song.

[dimebagdarrellftw]

Still like metallica! I just hate this lame cover

[dimebagdarrellftw]

Yeah...dislike this cover is just horrible guitars and vocals both fucked sounding horrible and lame. I would try to understand that they are trying to be unique but they aren't, metallica's cover just sucks no valid argument.

[MrBremark]

its impossible to explain to people who dont understand reality , they are sad lemmings. best to let them die off and leave room for people with independent thought

[spa1967]

Great cover. One of my favorite Black Sabbath´s songs.

Sam

[postalpat117]

I don't know why anyone is complaining about James' voice in this song. This song is supposed to be sung all high pitched (if anyone has heard the original Black Sabbath version Ozzy sings very high). I wont deny that Pantera's cover of this song is amazing though.

[dbgthimo]

james sounds terrible ):

[TheSeattlegreen]

James hetfield must hate Phil Anselmo sooooooooooo much....... All hail Philip !!!!

[TheSapopemba]

Damn goo song, man...

[ARNOLDGOVONATOR]

@Roberg03 That is the most ridiculous thing I ever read on YouTube comments. Think about that for a second. If you don't like Metallica just go hit Bieber up and don't comment please.

[cmdare23]

The Pantera version is much better. James voice sounds like someone standing on his nuts. AWFUL!

[ullrichguy]

1:54 boobs

[QuincyLights]

@StricklandxPropane its a tribute for Black Sabbath Hall of fame ya clown!!! They would hardly play their own song... Fucking hate thick comments on youtube

[panagiwths100]

0:54 ozzy feels like he wants to headbang

[showtimescott]

decent but Panteras was way fucking better Dime and phill made that song amazing james and kirk are almost Killing it.

[McGerglemonkey]

Metallicabbath. Bam.

[comeonewtf]

Everybody respects Ozzy, it's his wife that no one respects. What a shame.

[deah70]

sabbtallica

[MasterOfPuppets711]

wow they totally beefed it up

[roberg03]

@StricklandxPropane can u not see on the screen it shows it's from 2006, and they released a brand new album in 2009. just sayin learn ur shit before u speak

[metalhardrockerhead]

@roberg03 not to be an ass but they released a new album in 2008 lol

[roberg03]

@metalhardrockerhead haha touché sir

[DieterWeber35]

@roberg03

Actually the album came out in 2008.

[MetalMilitia2013]

@roberg03 Death Magnetic came out in 2008

[ThePushead94]

@roberg03 Death Magnetic came out in 2008. just sayin learn ur shit before u speak

[TheVicHardy]

AWESOME version....is amazing how Metallica have the skill to own a song. They are great at playing covers. Gret guitar work by Kirk and James..

[juliancscs]

@StricklandxPropane You know this was at Black Sabbath's induction into the HOF? So...

[gryfita88]

ależ petarda Power kurwa!

[r3dj4ck4l]

Excellent! A tribute to an evergreen band!

[georgeisupset]

And that my friends is why you do a sound check!!

[poisooontime]

Ozzy thinks: Dammit, this shit sounds better than ours!

[dingledorf1]

1:10 Dave Navarro

[MrStonermetal]

badass shit! ozzy was watchin n gettin all into it haha

[AwesomeSauceLimited]

what a riff =D

[rifraf4u]

MOAR BASSSSSSSSS

[Eduardojnr1]

Everybody quiet , only Ozzy shaking his head . I don't know why , but I laughed ... It was awesome kkkkkkkk'

[kingv911]

I'm surprised James get sing pretty solid at that range.  I'd have expected his voice to be a little shakier "up there."

[sixx1979]

worthy cover, i still like Pantera's way better.

[scarecrow4002]

ohh kirk had a realy rocky day YEAH YEAH

[IronSideMetal]

I love the original of this song but once again Metallica has covered a song and made it sound so much better \m/

[GenomeThrash]

wow they actually sound heavy for once since the longest

[thegigantico]

this one is osom but the machine head one is better

[vonkiser]

God I love the way they did this. My band added this song to our list as soon as I saw this. It always goes overlike a fat rat .

[spiralarchitect84]

This is surprisingly good...a little out of James' range but he's giving it a solid effort. Awesome selection as well.

[TheCeweq]

1:29 great attraction!!!

greaaaaatttt excelenteeee !!!!

[lempf]

what tuning is this version? oO

[MrLemoman]

I like how Kirk plays heavy metal in a tuxedo :D

[MultiRainbowdust]

He can't sing since his hearing went....he can't hear his earphones! It was a nice try, but if this were on my Metallica CD...I'd skip this every time.

[mastercutor666]

This is the best thing Metallica has done in 20 years jajaja

[86godsmack]

@mastercutor666 its not hard to sound better than ozzy....ive heard better sounds taking a shit than ozzys horrible voice

[nadman14]

@86godsmack nah, ozzy is an awesome singer, ok sure not the best singer, but he has a distinctive voice that fits with most of his music very well and he has some incredible singing chops as demonstrated in several of Sabbath's softer songs. just like Lemmy.

[apocolypticchrist]

@mastercutor666 Sad but true.

[VagabondMusicCo]

@mastercutor666 Silly troll, Metallica never stopped making good music. Listen to Death Magnetic.

[Opt1Mystic]

@VagabondMusicCo We'll just try and forget the bollocks between the Black Album and DE then shall we?

[VagabondMusicCo]

@Opt1Mystic Load, and Reload had so many great songs. St. Anger was strange at first, but it really grows on you. Honestly, I can appreciate everything Metallica has ever released.

[Sangdude]

Instrumentally this is a great cover, but the vocals are fucking terrible :P

[BulletFrenzy543]

@Sangdude Can you do better? Have you been singing in a professional band for more then 20 years? No. So gtfo

[Sangdude]

@BulletFrenzy543 Lol, butthurt much? I doubt Metallica gives a crap about my comments so why should you? :P

[BulletFrenzy543]

@Sangdude It just concerns me how an ignorant cunt, such as yourself, would make fun of a human being that has a much better purpose in life then you just because of a song with higher pitch, sir and or ma'am.

[Sangdude]

@BulletFrenzy543 I'm not making fun of anyone. I'm just saying the vocals suck in this cover. No need to get all fanboy on my ass ;)

[SCREAM4VEGENCE]

@Sangdude Ddue all I have to say is......... FUCK YOU!

[BulletFrenzy543]

@Sangdude I pray your a girl or else I would have a good reason to call you a fag due to the winky face at the end, seeing your name has the word "dude" in it I have reason to believe your a guy, so yea your a fag

[Sangdude]

@BulletFrenzy543 Lol awesome. Someone criticises your favorite band and instead of just accepting not everyone feels the same way they have to call people fags :s. Thank god not every fanboy of a certain band is like you.

[BulletFrenzy543]

@Sangdude you put a winky face at the end of your sentence....I'd rather be a fan boy than a homo

[DimeZakkSlash]

Oh shit... that key is too high for James...

Anyway, Pantera`s cover is better...

[captondude]

This is no where near as being as good as sabbaths original or panteras cover.
