Uriah Heep - When the War Is Over

[sailordad1]

~ Brilliant ~

different to Cold Chisel, but great!!

Take no notice of die hard Chisel fans, they are meat heads, not too bright. As you see from the comments ~ Love from Australia :)

This is musical abortion and whiile I hadn't even thought of Uriah Heap in decades, I now wish them to all find other jobs! This version of an amzing, heartfelt anthem sounds as if they're joking with it, trying to get the audience to sing along as if it were Chisel performing a Larges Pier! If I were a bit more violent in nature, ,I would have them all hung for wasitng not only my time but to expose this very moving tune to the air with no soul or heart is unforgivable!!

[webaroos]

Sung without any heart or understanding, watch Mossy from Cold Chisel do it properly, people were crying.

[southernrocka]

THATS FUCKED !!,... not even a guitar solo (which is a quintessential part of this song by the way !!! )...........if Chisel were to do this song in the UK they would think it was a Heap cover !!....and in the words of Barnesy "MOSSY FUCKING CLASSIC" !!...

[scitsalcoryp]

Thanks for putting me in my place....God Bless

[L1feGoesOn]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT LOL

[VolV8]

Yeah, that is not good.

I guess it's a new band finding it's 'sound'.

[budrock01]

Uriah Heep - of shit..... you have murdered a classic.... you and john farnham should be charged with treason...

[BattlinAussie]

@budrock01 YOU are the only person I've have bothered to reply to on this useless site........

THUMBS UP TO YOU BROTHER.........you said it so well

ps charged and shot

[jockthedog0]

Fuck this

[frovil]

Uriah Heep did a version of what now???? What the fuck were they thinking??? Leave this one to Chisel lads!!

[hurshmeyer]

Don't really like Mossie's goatee & jesus hairdo. The rest of the Chisel boys do alright in this clip, though.....

[TARBABY71]

this is as bad as john farnhams version,,, they should all be shot

[Cyrax87]

this is shocking shit, im disgusted by this filth listen to Cold chisel the original and see how this song song is sung. No justice in this You SUCK Uriah Heep.

[luvmykai]

This is a crime against humanity....and classic rock songs...someone make it go away

[hootiej]

This is rubbish Chisel4eva

[66blzeebub99]

Just awful.

Surely this outlawed under the Geneva Convention?

[flynn19]

Makes me want to shoot myself/

[TheKevvvMan]

this is just awful...one of the most abysmal cover versions i've ever heard.

[blasty109]

dont like the way he sings in a lower register than mossy ..... comes off a bit cheesy compared to Chisels version RIP Steve Prestwich !!!

[ipsilon160]

the original was much better. there is no way i can accept the butchering of this fine song

[gmisch244]

Garage band stuff. Gimme the original any day, Jimmy Barnes blows this away any day. The original Heep was better too.

[wazwazz37]

This is crap.....all this does is prove that Cold Chisel write awesome songs....check out Bon Jovi trying to cover "Working Class Man".

[stevej1952]

Far stronger version than Cold chisel or John farnham.

Both sound like boy bands.

[scitsalcoryp]

@stevej1952  Thanks....God Bless You

[scitsalcoryp]

fuck all of you apes that don' t like this...

completely shove it .

This is Heep..

What more do you fags want ?

This rocks .

[weeman1999999]

@scitsalcoryp

This is a heep alright A HEAP OF CRAP

[TARBABY71]

@scitsalcoryp We Want HEAP of shit to leave Classic Aussie Rock alone

[nafcd]

not a good version compared to cold chisel and i personally wouldnt rate it in their top 10. but hey thats just my opinion. easy livin would be my heep favourite

[freezethebreeze]

Fun to watch, but not in the same ballpark as the original Cold Chisel version.

[yasterran]

WHERE WAS THAT SHOW?

[metalslut1]

The album version is superior to this poor performance. Too bad. I love Heep!

[VisionsOfEden]

Uriah Heep is awesome, was back then and still is. It doesn't matter which line up is the best, both are good.

[bytorb1]

Uriah Heep are incredible! I just ordered my tickets for the Sellersville Theater, I am pumped!

[greg0le]

Do they seriously think they have done this song justice??? You have got to be kidding!!

[MrFilthyHyena]

@greg0le yep , not a patch on the orig uriah

[Tonemi]

As a Heep fan I like this, It´s not anything away from who´s song this is originally.

[vbvbvb088]

@Tonemi 1982 Cold Chisel - 'Circus Animals'.....even they know COLD CHISEL rules..............

[loswaldo666]

Uriah Heep of Shit.

[cepiroth]

ummm wtf... terrible.. "hey guys, i have an idea.. lets cover an awesome song by aussies which arent famous in america, that way the crowd wont realise we are ruining it"

[bjl34565]

This dude is absolutly fucking shit go find your own songs you fucking deuce

P.S. get a good fucking haircut

[HaberfieldChiro]

@bjl34565 Uriah Heep were a big international band with a lot of good music. It is a real compliment that they bothered to listen to this aussis song and record it!

[HaberfieldChiro]

@bjl34565

[countdumas]

Listen to Ozric tentacles and melting Euphoria. They are good psychedelic holistic prog rock bands.

[tkerg1]

I love this song

[040674]

I lasted until 0:37, sounds like something from play-school. Terrible.

[madtom69]

What were they thinking! What will Jimmy say? Sounds like elevator music

[buddhaboony]

i regret that i ever clicked on the link to this atrocious piece of Cold Chisel sacrilege. I may never recover

[ColdChiselRox]

WTF did they do to this song? As a dedicated Cold Chisel fan I have to say that I am disgusted. I couldn't listen to the first five seconds of it!

[fusionwalkingtarget]

I am sure Heep can do better than this, this is a pretty lackluster performance by them. I have heard them do it better. Chisel are the kings, but I like that Heep pay tribute to Chisel by covering this song.

[cqckid]

this sounds really cheesy!!

[arhivariusRU]

!!!!!!

[vbvbvb088]

sunday feb 22-have come froma OZ bushfire concert where Swanee played...young punters asking who the F555 is this guy - awesome. so as I hope that they can understand real oz music....it is in the same breath that if this band inspires 1 punter to download chisel'''TOPS!

[bradpamp]

No cigar boys - try another one

[bigpunisha75]

Not a bad effort, respect to Heep, there's no doubt that they're quality, but to me, it sounds like a karaoke version, mediocre instrument work, poor riffs, there's nothing like the original, that's for sure.

It gets better in the middle, but nothing like the raw angst from the Chisel version. Still, it's always good to hear different interpretations of classic tunes :)

[1AussieAvenger1]

DEFINATELY original Cold Chisel. its from the 1982 album 'Circus Animals" and the song was written by Cold Chisel's drummer Steve Prestwich.

uriah's version is kinda average compared to chisels immortal performance of their own song.

uriah heep - free me.... immortal!!

[purplecontractor]

wow never knew this was a heep song, thought the cold chisel was the origional,

heep for ever!!!!

[abcpaultigecba]

100 percent Chisel.

[vlad1gavrilchik]

I like both :)

[thereisonlyonedon]

I play this song with my band.. I am a big Chisel fan, respect for their interpretation. It's about sharing the music

[harlemraine]

Agree

[gearheader]

WTF....??

[MATTMUDORCK]

Música regular com um ótimo vocal.

[Slikcoolio]

they ruined the original

[rmsc1]

this is a cold chisel song......

[TooBai42]

I think this song is great, it would be so wonderful is all the fighting stopped. Great song guys!!!!!!!

[UUltra707]

Super, melodic vocals. Miss some of soft yet powerful guitar solo.
