[ceciliodunkin]

[hambone9119]

as a DANZIG fan i fucking love this, but then again i also love Duke Ellington and Jazz, would enjoy seeing this chik live this is great.

[bjrecordingstudio]

hot, sexy, I LOVE IT!

[carlaann76]

brilliant! i want to be in that room with them! lovelovelove

[whitem00n333]

incredible, cover or not.

[kobranocnik]

Trzy lata minęły jak dodałem koment do tego kawałka i dalej nic po polsku.Budka, doda i chuj wie co jeszcze są lepsze. Ja wybieram Melisse, Karen i Glenna. Pozostałym życzę "słodkiego miłego życia".

[natdomxd]

@kobranocnik witaj, to ja podpinam się pod Twoim komentarzem , od kilkunastu lat słucham Danziga, a muzyka Melisy podbiła moje serce kilka lat temu,pozdrawiam ,jola

[nowlodek]

@kobranocnik Nie ma się co pieklić :). Dwadzieścia lat temu Danzig to nie był mainstream a co dopiero teraz. Większość co tego słuchała teraz bawi dzieci i pracuje aby spłacić raty :). Też właśnie po dwóch latach wróciłem to tego kawałka w super wykonaniu. Pozdrawiam

[kobranocnik]

@nowlodek Pieklę się, bo dziewczyny w teledysku diabelsko piękne.

[djdj42]

Karen Elson is married to Jack White (theDead Weather and formerly White Stripes

[snowyDec0713]

@djdj42 not anymore

[faton565]

<3



[cecile1020]

I love this cover...

[Killer95Wolf]

usually when people sing danzigs songs it goes way wrong, but this is cool =)

[FCCZJ1903]

If you don't want pain, you don't understand!

[fraterlucifer888]

hell yeah!!! Danzig cover by hot women with a fender jaguar,what more could anyone want

[firebird77]

This is a Danzig song.

[HonRevPTB]

That was fuckin awesome! Love it!

[derkabronen]

i think im in love

[kraal42]

sounds like danzig...

[necrobestialerotic]

I know that's a stupid thing to write, but at this very moment "Devil's Plaything" has 666 likes. ;D

[DrewBludd]

doesn't Auf Der Maur translate to "off the wall" ?

[Bassgesicht]

@DrewBludd rather upon the wall

[fleshtoned]

L O V E

the song and this version

[HonRevPTB]

That was fucking outstanding!!!

[drakharu]

if anyone wants to be over critical, then film yourself doing this and we'll compare. Well done, love to see Danzig covered and his music being honoured. Now for my guy comment, you chicks were WAY too over dressed for this though, this vid needs more heels and stockings. \/''''''\/

[EllieLolita]

hotties

[e1leeny]

this was the very song that lured me to new york city

[0LIAMNOEL0]

Excellent!!

[red88dari]

2 redheads. i love melissa & karen

[simonlabonne]

two hot chicks singing danzig....yep, I can die happy now

[actuapress]

Interview with the lovely Melissa available on our channel. stop by and have a listen to what she has to say. :)

[sealimbs]

so good <3

[m2pmd70]

Not bad really. Maybe it's the Chelsea, but I couldn't help wondering if they just shot up.

[sinisa73]

Hot. As. Fuck.

[r0inconnu]

pretty good.

[lalainspired]

fuck you cuddlebuttons! karen rocks...

[BebeLush2]

It's just too cool. Two chicks sitting on the couch, busting out a Danzig song.

[cuddlebuttons]

this is kind of funny. it's a good thing some people are pretty. pretty takes you a lot further than talented. melissa's rocking but karen is just sort of "oh, karen, why don't you sing back up hon and try not to screw up or embarass yourself"

[clownpendotfart]

@cuddlebuttons I disagree. Karen does the better job of singing here, which surprised me since that's not her day-job. And she's not singing in a sort of cautious or backup manner either.

[MrsSlumdog]

@clownpendotfart: I agree I'm listening to her album at the moment. It's very different from what I usually listen too. I love her for a long time as a model. Her album is great and a pleasant surprise. Great musicians but what else can we expected when you're other name is Mrs "White".?

[korbinian666]

@clownpendotfart ich liebe dieses lied

[Darkina85]

@cuddlebuttons I totally agree with you!

[VRRA4]

@cuddlebuttons

How is this such a negative comment? it is more of an observation and an opinion.

[BebeLush2]

Is that Jack White's Karen?

[PaulKersey108]

I like Mellisa's voce way better

[Patson43]

This kind of thing happens all the time in the living room of my dreams. Damn, babies.. you make Danzig so proud. It makes me quite happy to know there are amazing ladies like this in the world.. but now these girls around here seem extra lame since I've seen this. rats.

[stratoangra]

Hi! Where can i get this song? Is it recorded on an album or something?

I'll really apreciate if someone answer my question =)

[clownpendotfart]

@stratoangra No album I'm aware of. Use mp3directcut

[MrsSlumdog]

@clownpendotfart: Karen Elson's album is name "The Ghost Who Walks". She was named The Ghost being that pale in her school days. The album is produced by hubby Jack White who plays also drums and produced the album. On guitar Jackson Smith son of the legendary Patti Smith and the late (RIP) Fred 'Sonic' Smith. This song is alas not on the album. I would have loved that too. It's worth to listen to Karen's album though.

[sluv2600]

@stratoangra

The original was recorded by Danzig on the Danzig 3 Lucifuge album.

[mike3540]

@stratoangra download the original, its even better

[EmelieEk77]

oh my GOD, my favourite track from danzig, and two cool as fuck women... i'm jealous as hell, i wanted to do this first, and now the opportunity is gone forever... damn! massive respect melissa auf der maur and karen elson!

[CRENFRO11]

this is too fucking cool...you girls done danzig justice!!!!!

[jms32323433]

pretty hot

[devoette]

This is not good.

[freakrosie]

gingers <3

[NenaPsychelon]

Sing the wrong words. For exemple - Speak "say". And you should sing with more power in the ref

[drunktrainpolka]

they are a little underfed but i like it... the song makes it. i like it lots.

[clownpendotfart]

@drunktrainpolka For a singer with meat on her bones, check out Eva von Slut (that is her real name...well, not really, it's a fake name, but not one I personally made up just to be funny)

[MegaSalmonela]

@drunktrainpolka ---hahaha! that's really funny! they're a little underfed, yeah it looks like these girls haven't eaten for weeks....their skin and bones! My gosh!☺

[basileidesbasilisk]

maybe stop masturbating on the state u were born in. it makes u kinda dumb. learn other languages n try to see other stuff. oh, and, canada is so damn better than the usa. and u know it...

[WarriorFitness808]

Very cool!

[jungleVIP]

karen's voice is cool but not sure about the american accent.

[clownpendotfart]

@jungleVIP Americans don't have accents silly, everyone else does! Also, MadM and Danzig are Americans as well. Just like all the people who matter!

[GidoGil]

@clownpendotfart Hahaha silly American!

[jungleVIP]

@clownpendotfart haha...yeah sure. we brits gave you english, be grateful and be quiet!

[clownpendotfart]

@jungleVIP We preserved English better, just as our southerners more closely resemble 17th century English peasantry. Whist (or at least a form of it) is still played in American inner cities. U.K English is afflicted with latin imitation, rightly deplored by Orwell. American English has stayed truer to the Frisian roots. Of course, for a serious defense of American English against the Queen's, see H. L. Mencken.

[jungleVIP]

@clownpendotfart Well there are many different accents within England itself, and the English spoken in the North of England actually most closely resembles the way everyone in England spoke 200 years ago. You guys certainly also preserved the short vowel in words like 'bath' and 'laugh' but you added your own little annoying American inflections to them as well, which you can keep :P

Incidentally, Karen is from the North...

[magicmarker44]

@clownpendotfart -- actually Melissa Auf der Mar is from Montreal, Canada... And Danzig is from Hades. ;-)

[clownpendotfart]

@magicmarker44 Canada is the 51st state and they know it. They are mostly huddled on their southern border, afraid to stray to far from the glory of the U.S.A!

[fableofdream]

@clownpendotfart I'm canadian and I'd hate being american even more than I hate being canadian. Just to tell you how much I care about the United States. WE'RE CLOSE TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER CAUSE HIGHER ITS COLD, YO!

[clownpendotfart]

@fableofdream Excuses, excuses. And why do you hate being Canadian? It's almost as good as the rest of America.

[fableofdream]

@clownpendotfart because I'm part of a minority and it fucking sucks because canadians want to make up that they're so proud to have us with them and that they love us but when you visit other parts of the country you can't find anyone who speaks french decently while I have to talk to them in english when they visit my province. go canada!

[clownpendotfart]

@fableofdream I thought in English Canada there was a requirement that everything be printed in both French & English while in Quebec most stuff is just French. Personally, I favor independence for Quebec. Not because I know enough about the place to make an informed judgment, I just favor secession anytime anywhere for any reason. So, do you like "Mes Aieux"?

[fableofdream]

@clownpendotfart lol no way. Everything is always in english except when it's something for the federal governement, where you can request everything in french. In Quebec, yes it's only french (or english printed in smaller) and in New Brunswick it's billingual. I'm in favor of indepenence too, but unfortunately most quebecers are just too scared to vote for it. I "like" Mes Aïeux, but I wouldn't call myself a fan. I do enjoy their stuff every once in a while :).

[clownpendotfart]

@clownpendotfart Mes Aieux is the only band from Quebec I've heard of, so that's why I mentioned it. The only band from France I'm aware of is Overmars, and that's just because of the song "Deux Mesures de Solitude".

[SoNickPick]

@clownpendotfart Canada is officially a bilingual country, which basically means all government services have to be available in both languages throughout the country. Quebec (the only predominantly French province) has its own language law, Bill 101, instated in order to protect It states that all immigrants must attend French Schools and also makes sure commercial signs are in French. Contrary to popular belief, this law actually attenuated some of the linguistic tensions in the Province.

[litavsjenna]

Melissa 4 president!!

[asummerrobin]

Elson keeps striking model-like poses all the time in front of the camera, she has no idea how to act natural. I find it a little bit pathetic.

[Tobystar]

@asummerrobin I agree completeley, instead of subverting this brilliantly misoganistic band and song (Danzig) these two simper and KE just cuts a pose. Both are very nasally and way too fast in places. Get real, watch some PJ Harvey and get some ovaries!

[ArmoredFelix]

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE VOCALS here.

[butfly10]

god gracious, this karen girl rocks :-D

[ArmoredFelix]

Wow............I never thought anyone could sing that worse than my friends and I. Wrong again.

[clownpendotfart]

@ArmoredFelix Oh ye of little imagination.

[ArmoredFelix]

Not quite as bad as Danzig, but then women can never attain the heights or depths men can.

[unijaner]

God, I can't believe sexist pigs like you STILL exist. Educate yourself idiot.

[ArmoredFelix]

@unijaner You are a faggot.

[unijaner]

@ArmoredFelix Oh, so you're not only sexist, you are also homophobic. Way to prove my point you uneducated, hateful, loser.

[ArmoredFelix]

@unijaner lulz you're a fucktard.

[vkissas]

@unijaner hey bitch leave the dude alone you are a fucking slut.....you've had sex with 50 men....so shut the fuck up

[unijaner]

@vkissas Oh, so because I pointed out that "armoredfelix" is uneducated and hateful that makes me a slut? All this because I tried to defend the honor of another woman? WTF? You people are horrible human beings. I'm out of here.

[katoblue]

@vkissas

You're so eloquent! How do you know how many men she's slept with? And what the fuck has it got to do with you anyway?

you'reacockyou'reacockyou'reac­ock

[vkissas]

@katoblue oh god another feminist lesbo fuck off you adopted bitch.....and what the fuck it got to do with you?are you a mormon or something?

[ArmoredFelix]

God hates this song.

[MsRosa88]

Karen is a bottle redhead. In real life she's blond. Don't know about Melissa.

[theZodiacDigital]

who gives a shit?

[gifteddiva]

Karen Elson has a better voice than Melissa.

[Therverus]

@gifteddiva don't think so. Melissa reaches louder notes. And Karen loses her voice in some parts.

[ryukenb2k]

Who care's they are redhead's plus bablicious. redhead's are so different thank god for difference. love all race's and make cocktail babie's

[thadeusduke]

fucking lame , just cute chicks

[ryukenb2k]

Wait a minute two redheads. wow now thats a party right their.

[Therverus]

@ryukenb2k Redheads... yeeeeeah

[ryukenb2k]

I love redhead's brother andim happy you appreciate them like me that rock's man. I am mixed african chinese and irish and yemenese. I wonder what type of milkshake I would make if I mixed with a redhead?

[killing666dreams]

@ryukenb2k GINGERS!

[PatrickIcke12]

Too bad she is playing wrong

[ArmoredFelix]

@PatrickIcke12 Exactly

[lilmissglentoran]

This is awesome! wow!

[aurlis2012]

it does sound like a danzig, good cover

[evka2]

nice but I think Beseech did better version

[clownpendotfart]

Never heard of them. After you commented I checked out that cover. Lame affectless goth.

[serenoodio]

Great

[serenoodio]

good

[nena7lune]

wow

[TheShamaiA]

Awesome !!! this version

Good = ]

[dattHoppi]

I like this version very, very much :)

[parasolface]

Covers are interpretations, they aren't supposed to be improvements. "Better" becomes a relative term in this case. Devil's Plaything is a great song, this cover is just Melissa and Karen exploring a different side of the song.

[clownpendotfart]

A good number of covers are improvements, they tend to become more famous than the originals. Jimi Hendrix' "All Along the Watchtower" for instance. And, to commit a blues blasphemy, Cream's version of Crossroads.

[parasolface]

I see that point, that's very true. But I might say that whether or not it's an improvement is up to the individual and not necessarily always fact. The individual being two-fold as the artist and the audience. The artist may not necessarily have intended to improve on the song but instead take it in a different direction. However, depending on the audience, it could be seen as better depending on taste. I just realize that this is a very ambiguous topic, but I hold to my first statement.

[clownpendotfart]

Personally, I'm an emotivist/non-cognitivist. I don't see how normative statements about "goodness" are in any way falsifiable, and so I don't think they have any objective truth-value, but are merely subjective attitudes.

[ptitgro2]

danzig are much better. It looks amateur, love this song Danzig rock

[s138]

Its a fucking cover, its not suposed to be "better".

[ptitgro2]

what the heack are you taking about sometimes cover are better than original. I find her version of paranoid much better than the original

[cinciun]

Fantastiche <3

[XxlatinaCleobabyxX]

im insanely jelous of karen elson since she's married to jack white, and i want to say she sucks, but shes actuallly reallly good :D

[clownpendotfart]

You got the straight edge? It's so confusing when subcultural traits get mainstream.

[areyouretarded]

super lawl

[sinsin92]

She's GOOD!!! wow her voice is not bad! Love it love it love it :)

[PaulKersey108]

these two goddess's bellowing this dark light as been echoing in my ears for days

[clownpendotfart]

I don't think that's a grammatical sentence.

[dollaloud]

Anybody think Karen sometimes look a little bit like Julianne Moore, and sometimes like Elizabeth I?

(Was Karen take a photoshoot of portraiting Elizabeth I very long time ago?)

[Honkofthewall]

I still love this so much, it has so much power, although it's played only on a guitar.

[ClownLove5188]

Sweet song!

[Vittumikajatka]

Danzig rocks and his voice is awesome and this is a great song. BUT this cover version isn't very special. Sorry girls...

[clownpendotfart]

Maybe it was unique among covers of the song in its mediocrity?

[dragonsbornmisfit]

I dont know about that I liked danzings solo stuff and am an orginal fiend but think Auf Dir Maur did a really special thing with a great song.

[dragonsbornmisfit]

Never heard of Karen Elson but damn she has a great voice Auf Der Maur has a great well EVERYTHING.

[smillsy71]

Karen is a model-who married Jack White. So, she's gotta be cool. Who knew she could sing? Nobody, but this is fun. Both these women have lovely voices and this is a fun version of Danzig's song.

[PaulKersey108]

This is beutiful

[sidewalkwarrior]

I love that they are in the Chelsea Hotel. Andy Warhol would be proud.

[clownpendotfart]

So would Nancy Spungen.

[sidewalkwarrior]

What about Sid? We all need a little Sex Pistols in our lives.

[clownpendotfart]

Sid contributed the least to the Sex Pistols. He never managed to learn bass, which is they had to hire their old bassist to record in studio for their album.

[sidewalkwarrior]

He's still a member, and I was just mentioning his relationship with Nancy Spungen.

[clownpendotfart]

Yes, the Chelsea Hotel is where Sid stabbed Nancy to death, which is why I mentioned it.

A member who can't play his instrument and doesn't appear on the recordings is not much of a member.

[sidewalkwarrior]

A shitty member is till a member.

Like, some guys have a really tiny penis, but they still consider it a penis.

[XYZTanya]

I don't know why but i love this video. Their voices are so amazing....ahhh

[dannydanzig666]

its ok

[clownpendotfart]

I appreciate you not resorting to hyperbole.

[UltMitSinner78]

This song doesn't sound heavy evil brooding or dramatic like all Danzig songs do. This is a epic fail.

[vuckov97]

DID A COVER VERSION BUT NEVER RELEASED IT.....mi 2007

[MorganBucks]

Awesome!

[pioughd87]

it's almost unfair how sexy this is

[pureecstasy]

love karen elson!!! shes married to jack white right

[tahliaaxo]

yes since 2005.

[HappyHitokiri]

I didn't know that karen can sing after i saw-listen to this song-video.......both are awesome together

MAdM rocks

[Nympholita]

is it somewhere available as mp3?

[clownpendotfart]

I would tell you to use a program like mp3directcut if you didn't have such an offensive (yet literary!) handle, but as it is I will keep that secret to myself. Promise you won't tell Nympholita about mp3directcut!

[ghouldanzig]

Where is Guatalumbia?

[clownpendotfart]

Guatalumbia is not merely a place but a way of being, where work is play and play is work, where the most serious profession is clowning and only children are permitted alcohol. It's hop, skip and jump away from Chadguay.

[HeartMaiDreams]

Melhor música !!!

[theZodiacDigital]

this is awesome! great danzig cover. but karen is like wayyy too skinny, it's not even attractive. is she ok?

[clownpendotfart]

No, she's not ok. She's dead. Danzig killed her. Then he wrote "Die Die Die" about it.

[theZodiacDigital]

wow, danzig = timecop? i'll be.

[clownpendotfart]

Yes, he is the Timecop. His van Damme impersonation is so convincing that nobody realized Jean Claude was doing gameshows in Guatalumbia during the whole production. Except the Guatalumbians, of course.

[theZodiacDigital]

so when he wrote astro zombies did he know that many years later MCR would butcher it?

[clownpendotfart]

He didn't have to travel through time to know that. He knew it a priori, for it is axiomatic.

[theZodiacDigital]

so its a guarantee that when you write a punk song some emo douchebag will ruin it many years later?

suddenly im reconsidering my punk side project The Anarchistic Commie Libertarian Fascists.

[clownpendotfart]

That's a long name. Perhaps you should shorten it to Le Cercle Proudhon.

[theZodiacDigital]

i was gonna go for The Pierre-Joseph Proudhons, but im done with punk. Starting a metal project called Gdansk.

[clownpendotfart]

It is also inevitable that punks go metallic over time. This can be seen over the course of the Misfits, Danzig's career more generally and the wave of crossover thrash in the 80s. There is no such tendency of metal to go punk.

[theZodiacDigital]

of course, since after playing for a while you tend to ... actually get good at playing your instrument.

[clownpendotfart]

Is that true of Kirk Hammett? They completely took out his soloes in the album before last.

[theZodiacDigital]

well its not that he couldnt play so much as that lars ulrich thought if their album was 90% less kirk and 90% more lars people would eat that shit UP

[clownpendotfart]

In all seriousness, I've heard several people claim he doesn't practice guitar much and the reason they stopped playing Justice stuff live was because he wasn't up to it anymore.

[theZodiacDigital]

pure rumor until proven otherwise.

i cant recall them doing an old song and kirk fucking up too bad.

oh and slayer are a metal band that went punk briefly. undisputed attitude.

[clownpendotfart]

I'm just repeating what I've heard others say. Haven't been to any of their shows myself.

Undisputed Attitude was full of covers. It's like their Spaghetti Incident.
