  • THIS-IS-SO-F*CKING-SICK!!!!

  • With my logic??? By the way i wasn't even talking to you so i don't care what you think!!! This is basically a cover band so when this band actually makes it come back to me!!!

  • Imádom,micsoda hang!!!

    I love it,fantastic sound!!!

  • This guy makes the songs sound better. all day long. I love what he does.

  • though I do love N.K.... I have to say.. I love Bon Jovi's version better than this. With Bon Jovi's version i can actually picture a cowboy struggling and gettin through hard times with just his horse and his guitar.

    This song... i cant picture shit but some dude screaming into a microphone. (and yes i know its Marco from Nightwish)

    Their remixes dont sound very different from each other. it's kind'a like DragonForce.. all their songs sound the same.

  • @Sevrion I agree totally. This cover really lets me down. The acoustic parts of the original really made that song. This sounds like everything else they did on this album, add distortion speed and different keyboards. Hell the guitar playing isnt even as good.

  • @xael I Know! I love Sonata Arctica (one of my favorite bands from Europe)... I love Nightwish... but they strip the emotion and feeling from some of the songs they've covered with this band. I think i'll stick to the original songs and stick to the separate bands haha

  • horrible

  • Marco you are incredible and when your playing your beloved Warwick it is evn more insanley fantastic.

  • dude...i don't feel like listening "wanted dead or alive"...it's like "another power metal song"... it has lost the essence...(my english is not very good, but i hope you understood what i meant)

  • Really bad.

  • i like this better than the original " part of the reason is the original is played to the point that it sickens me"

  • Theirs no soul to this version. Wanted Dead or Alive was made to have soul. This is random power chords and a guy singing like he's going into battle on a horse. In my opinion, this is a very poor version of this song. I mean, seriously, they barely change chords through the entire song. Go and listen the original and listen at how technical it is. The original kicks the shit out of this song and always will.

  • @CameraFreak1990 Hence a Power Metal cover band. Who wants to see a cover that is exactly the same as the original. A cover shows an appreciation for the original song, and Marco has a very good appreciation for music. You can have your own opinion of the song, but to say it has no soul is not for you to decide.

  • @CameraFreak1990

    no soul in Marco's singing?? are you on crack... just asking lol

  • @420protoman agreed. dude must be really, really high....

  • How to destroy some classics songs...

  • That devlish smile and shit. >:D

  • this version absolutely kicks the shit out of Bon Jovi's original

  • Why the fuck is lady gaga on my related videos side bar?

  • nightwish' bass player, and his 25 year old band that is wayyyy better than nightwish. TAROT where he is the bassist and frontman

  • Best version ever made! Wait...this one should be raised to the "original version" status

  • Finally this song gets BALLS! Bless you, KINGS!

  • Bon Jovi without the vagina

  • @fett1818 Hey more respect! you like or no, Bon Jovi is a Rock Legend!

  • @fett1818 So what stadiums are these selling out!!!! NONE!!!! How many albums have they sold???? How many number 1's???? The list of comparisons is endless......Done!!!!!

  • @MrRoadjack Everyone in Metal knows that the general public's music taste is crap. Your arguement is invalid!

  • @Satantransvertdeath That comment doesn't make sense!! So basically your saying that metal is the only decent taste in music to have!!!! Your comment has nothing got to do with wat i said!!

  • @MrRoadjack That's not exactly what I was implying, but with your logic on these matters I rest my case.

  • @fett1818

    HAHAHAAAA....says a fucking NIGHT WISH FAN!!!!???? Bon Jovi is true music bitch.

    You know what overcompensation is?

  • @fett1818 bro, he isn't all heavy n shit.. but bon jovi is the fucking shit, and this is coming from a metalhead

  • yep, sound good, only Tarja can do this sound better....

  • @petriheik doubt it, HIGHLY doubt it

  • Your voice is greart!

  • You sound like judas priest

  • i love this cover but i do prefer the original.

  • Northern ANYTHING...... but not kings, not by a long shot.

  • It is simple: Don't like the song? GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM IT. Like the song?: Comment and thumbs up on this video! Simple as that.

  • @theunsanereaper why can't we just thumbs down it if we don't like it? that is a lot simpler than doing it your way. As if I would do it your way anyway.

  • @motroo1 How is thumbing something down easier to do than just get away from the video you don't like and NOT commenting? Think for a seckond before you start typing.

  • @theunsanereaper Why do you insist that there is only one way to rate this song? youtube gives two options, which is more than you give. what you are saying is do it your way or don't do it at all. And that is not simple.What you are offering is a simple opinion, nothing more. I am offering the same thing, but you don't see me cussing on the internet trying to act all billy badass do you? I mean, seriously dude, this ain't your band, it ain't your website, and it ain't your internet.

  • @motroo1 I say this: It is RETARDED for one HATING this band to listen to this song and comment about how much they hate it. It serves no purpose unless annoying those who actually like it. I can accept if they give CONSTRUCTIVE critisism, but mostly don't do that. That is what I am saying, interpertrade that however you wish. I see you trying to act all "peter preacher" (since you like using silly words), it is not your internet either and I have never claimed I owned anything.

  • @theunsanereaper DUDE, Just....... go ahead and get a life or something and drop it already. The horse is dead, no point in a continued beating. And WHEN did I ever say I hated this band? These guys are obviously very, very talented, at least musically, I don't care for the vocals. But again, that is just my opinion... oops, sorry for the silly words. I really have only commented on the comments. OK can we drop it now? huh? please?

  • @motroo1 "Get a life?", you know that is weak to say? I have a life, and I am always ready to put people on place when they try to insult me, how petty it might seem. Did I ever say that you hated this band? and I don't honestly give a shit what you like or not. Yes we can drop it now, it means: Stop replying to me! You began bickering back to my comment so it is EASY for you to end it since you want to do so.

  • Interesting choice.

  • omfg!! ok, where to start... um, i'll give you the fact he has an amazing voice, but he couldn't have butchered this song any more if he had freedy cruger and jason vorheese helping!! dear lord this sux..

  • @knifeplay69 you are tasteless and therefore should boycott Northern Kings, because you clearly are not a fan. this song is fucking terrible but now Its Amazing!!!! I never understood how anybody who can hear found the original interesting... then again people like the song freebird too

  • o que?? não!!!! o marcos manda muito bem no nightwish ele o destaca naquela banda melhor que em qualquer outra!

  • i didnt know that marco was in any band other than Nightwish O.o

  • @MurderousTeddyBears He sings for other people as well. Search for songs he's Ft. in. He can make bands sound better.

  • @MurderousTeddyBears Marco is so badass he's even in a Finnish Black Sabbath cover band.

  • @MurderousTeddyBears Check out Pelon Lait (Neon Knights) by Sapattivuosi with Marco Vox

  • @MurderousTeddyBears

    Well... his main band has always been Tarot... since the early 90's. One of the first and best heavy metal bands in Finland.

  • marco it's the fucking voice of power metal, damn it !!

  • Extraordinary skill is required to reinterpret a song as well known as this one! Marco Hietala has done a truly exceptional job! He has made this song sound like one of his own compositions, which is no easy feat and clearly reveals his remarkable abilities!

  • this man is so fuckin awensome he's my great idol!! i'm so proud of having his autograph.

  • I'm a VIKING! On a Longship I Riiiiiiide!

  • When he said "I'm a cowboy" I lost it.

  • OMG.....that's fucking gorgeous!! *__*

  • when you hear this song your ears get a ultimate orgasm!

  • Just had a fangasim over this song! And Marco's voice!

  • I really love this cover.... ;D That's all I gotta say.

  • Very good cover although i prefer the original!

  • Is a good cover! :D

  • i heard the other version first but i think this is defo the better out of the two <3

  • Marco's beard is the awesomest thing I think I've ever seem oGo.

  • No no no.... the singer is Marco Hietala,with which Nightwish was blessed to have. =D He's not Nightwish's basist, Nightwish is his band.

  • @DarkClanMem Er no it's not. He's their bassist, it's Tuomas' band

  • @SigandGibbs it was a joke.And its Tuomas' and Marco's band.They lead it.

  • Awsome voice, but this version of this epic song isn´t my favourite.

    Sorry, Marco ur voice wasn´t made for this song.

  • better than original....no doubt !

  • Marco Damn That Man He Is Awsome

  • People are going to judge a song based on the version they heard first. It's just natural. That said, this version was very well done, but just not my style. I do prefer the original, but this one is just as good in a different way.

  • SHIT

  • I love Northern Kings covers, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with this one. His voice just isn't doing it for me in this song, normally I love Marco's voice but it's not doing it for me in this particular song.

  • I dont care what any of you guys say. this version is bad ass. all of you need to stop comparing it to the original and listen to is as the version it is. sure it maybe not anything like the original but they were doing a fucking cover and there a completely different genre there not going to sound like the original and they shouldn't. as a musician reading this i feel disgusted that your all being so fucking narrow minded on all of this.

  • ah, hahahah!! This is better than the original!!! Just kidding... It is strange to me to hear this version.... I have been listening to the original since 1986!!!

  • This is just plain BAD!!! Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi is a classic, compared to which all attempts to remake will FAIL!

  • @Imjustaguy73

    when people do covers, I don't think you should compare it to the original based on "oh this is better because it's a classic"

    If Bon Jovi and Northern King's version were both released within 2 weeks of each other, would you say "Bon Jovi's came first, so it's better"?

  • i really like the fast covers they do--- some of the slower ones aren't as good, especially when they slow down compared to the original tune (like their cover of rebel yell). this one is great though

  • Holy fucking shitballs! This sucks!

  • @PijnigeR And you can do better?

  • @DustinKingFilms Hell yeah but that was not what I was implying. This just doesn't do the original any justice at all.

  • @johnmatzakos Cover isn't a Cover if you play it exactly the same as the oiriginal song, it's just a copy when you do it that way. Cover is kinda same as remake

  • I love Marcos vocals but this sux big time. No respect and why just use the lyrics?

  • This isn't Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive. This is a song with the lyrics of wanted dead or alive and with diferrent music. It's good to cover songs from other bands but I think every band and artist that cover a song must respect the original version. In this case I think we're out of bounds. I would rather to hear original material from Northern Kings. As a big power metalhead I respect these guys with their great voices but music isn't just for fun.

  • @johnmatzakos music isn't just for fun?

    LOL, YEAH, because Bon Jovi wrote some of the most lyrically incredible songs ever, right? hahaha

    This is decent, but it sounds generic. THAT's the problem here.

  • yeah, maybe I exaggerated a little, you got right, I like Bon Jovi's version and another lyrics too, but I guess that let me go by this amazing surprise. My apologies, both are great but in diffrent styles :)

  • This version is much fucking better! ;)

    Marco Hietala rules!!

  • @acanthadreamma Hum, I really don't agree ... Just because I was rocked all my fucking youth by BJ's music =) So I think you can think so, but I just don't agree.

  • lame internet I curse you for taking my precious music away!

  • Comment removed

  • @Maharg23 u obviously dont understand shit round here, u should stfu. northern kings consists of marco hietala (from Nightwish), Tony Kakko (from Sonata Arctica), Jarkko Ahola (from Terasbetoni) and Juha-Pekka Lepaluoto (from Charon). as you can see each of these 4 men has his own band which writes and playes their own songs. northern kings was made as a symphonic metal COVER band, to make metal covers. get ur shit straight before u say anything

  • @desambio I agree, Northern Kings was made as a cover band that these 4 artists did for fun more than anything else, and their style is so great that they're now gonna write their own stuff! can't wait to hear the 4 great singers utilized in original material.

  • @Maharg23 Their next album will consist of some of their own written material. Research before you make yourself look like an arse. :P

  • @Maharg23 all members are from different bands who compose very good music, retard.

  • thumbs up if you think that his voice can destroy planets

  • @Ordrtolar Planets? Just planets?

    It could blow up the whole universe ;)

    Not to mention his beard X3

  • @Ordrtolar destroy-rebuild and make them better

  • @Ordrtolar his voice can already screw up a lamp o.o (theres a vid of that somewhere here on youtube! o:)

  • @Ordrtolar Dude that was so gay.

  • @motroo1 So is your comment ^_^ Thank you, come again

  • @Ordrtolar agreed the female singers held him back lmao

  • 21 people headbanged too hard and missed the like button

  • Verry Goood is truel !!!!! Hevy!!!!!  Cool

  • @ErikuzMetalBitch I think fucking 'A' is the correct term.

  • MARCO HIETALA IS AWESOME :D !,,!^^!,,!

  • I'm a Viking*

  • I just have one word to this song:

    ORGASM

    tumbs up if you agree

  • @FlayJackson more like eargasm

  • Could've been a lot better if they had used juxtaposition like the original... it makes it seem that much heavier if you start off softer, instead of full throttle the whole way through. Awesome cover anyway, but there's room for improvement.

  • @KYoukai Well said, I agree.

  • WOW!!!! Marco's voice fits this song perfectly...

    I'm blown away and speechless...

    SUPERLIKE! 

  • Am I the only one who thinks that he looks like Will Ferrell?

  • chuck norris bites the bullet but marco hietala bites the gun

  • "FUCK Chuck Norris"

    thats what he said with this song cover

  • This is a fantastic cover.

  • Marko is the Chuck norris of metal

  • I liked it was very good :)

  • @bodomita That's because you may love Metal but you don't appreciate or know a thing about Music. You're too attached to the classics and don't want any of it to change, but that's what a cover is SUPPOSED to do. If you don't like that, don't listen to covers, every one of them will piss you off. Thanks.

  • @Pandiemonium i don't like this cover, but it doesn't mean i hate every cover in the world. There are covers that are even better than the original, this one isn't a good cover to me, why can't i give my opinion?

    I love Metal and almost every kind of music, i'm not going to apologize for what i said about this cover, so get over it. Everyone have their opinion

  • @bodomita Are you as stupid as you look? A cover is meant to sound different from the original. Just look at they don't care about us cover from these guys. It sounds nothing like MJ but it still pwns the devil outta hell.

  • @SweetOdinsRavens at least someone understands a cover

    every cover is ment to be different!

  • Why you call me stupid just because i don't like this cover and have the guts to say it? I think you have the problem, not me. I didn't disrespect you, so please, don't do it with me.

  • Marco Hietala is what Chuck Norris checks under his bed for.

  • @DoctorRusski hahahah me too lol

  • @DoctorRusski and Blackie Lawless is what Marco checks under his bed for :P

  • @DoctorRusski I had to sign in specifically to like this comment.

  • @DoctorRusski (sound of a roundhouse kick)

  • @DoctorRusski  Why? because he looks tough in front of a camera? these comments are so GAY!

  • the cover isn't bad...but in Bon Jovi's one there's a melody tipical of western and cowboy! So... better the original than northern kings' one u.u

  • BON JOVI ROCKS!!! THE BEST MUSIC EVER!!

    GREAT COVER!!!

  • warum zum geier müssen die jungs lieder covern bei den geilen stimmen warum singen sie nicht über odin , thor und tyr !!!

  • @AbbaTheHut How Much Wood Could A Wood Chuck Chuck If A Wood Chuck Was Chuck Norris?

  • i havent heard anything this fantastic sincei heard pamela andersons orgasm, noise!

  • Northern Kings the best metal band!!!!!!!!

  • I didn't expect it to stay around the same chord for as long in the first part of the verses but I kinda like it now. I love these guys but trying to be objective this is a much better cover than atreyu's 'you give love a bad name' cover. That one just ruined the song, this more pays homage don't you think?

  • WOW! Liked it!

    Loved it, as a different song.

  • I love the way that these guys get so far up people's noses. Well, it's power metallers having fun, so enjoy it or fuck off, I don't care which.

    Personally I am going to listen to all of their stuff I can find until my CDs arrive.

  • i think all the bands that make the songs that Northern Kings takes for their albums should thank them to make them better except Sinatra, now he is another genious, the covers this band does are *1589511329 times better than the original ones...

  • Marco seriously must shit gold or something.

  • Its like they only keep the lyrics and nothing else...

    I like it!

  • this is better than the original!!!

  • I love Nightwish. I love Tarot, and I love this band. Why do I love this band? Because they cover songs with a "F@CK YOU" attitude. They don't give a crap if it's good or not, they cover it to cover it. Personally? I can't stand Bon Jovi. They made it more enjoyable for me. My opinion though.

  • horriable  pwaaaakh

  • Kinda sad they left the riff out...it's the trademark of the song...

  • @MrRed93 well all least he enjoys what he do ^^! btw: EmoViking?

  • @MrRed93 wtf!!! viking gone emo??? since when has marco been emo?? let me think, NEVER!!!

  • Northern Kings ftw.

  • i think northern kings is a pretty cool guy. eh does bad covers and doesnt afraid of anything.

  • Wtf happened to people. How is this better than the original? Truely a sad thing.

  • I think Jon Bon Jovi would be proud of this cover. :)

  • Oh yeaah Thats rocks!

  • I gotta say I kinda like bon jovis better but this is still good

  • wow, i hated this song until i heard this

  • Thank you Northern Kings for the kick ass covers.

  • they aren't covers they're re-imaginings, power metal versions of classic songs only the lyrics stay the same and sum phrases but in general the music is completely different

  • and what is the reference to the original here?

  • Marco Hietala:D:D:D!(L)

  • Big guns from Finnish Heavy metal circles grouping up and pulling something like this, it has to be amazing :D and if i remember correct, people using instruments are big names too.

  • sounds good!!! doesn't seem much like the original version but they put all the guts doing it i like it a lot

  • epic cover :D

  • Just because Bon Jovi is a symbol of the 80's Hard Rock, doesn't mean Hietala, Ahola, Leppalluotto or Kakko are inferior. Actually, their technique is far above Jon Bon Jovi. I like Bon Jovi, I admit, BUT these four guys from Northern Kings are just AMAZING. And oh, all of them have their own bands, that are NOT cover bands... Try to search for Tarot and Sonata Arctica, just as an example :)

  • @gabrielstatus

    I don't know, Bon Jovi is one thing. But Richie Sambora is a hell of a guitar player.

  • ::Heart throbs rapidly:: I LOVE this man... his voice is beyond breath taking! Long live Viking God Marco Hietala!

    -Lochness

  • The original is much better :)

    Bon Jovi rules ^^ <3

  • OMG Bon Jovi are at least 1000 times better.

  • @6MasterYoda

    Im not sure about this... Bon Jovi rules, northern metal is not really my fav... but this one is still better!!
