  • @ilovladoo

    Co_ven is Hindu RAW Jew CIA agent.

  • @gatesrocks oh

  • OK, perhaps he shouldn't have written Allah on his guitar, but that remains his right - and if Allah is indeed offended by this, then He will punish the erring guitarist. In the meantime, gentlemen, lets enjoy and appreciate the MUSIC.

  • The new Pakistan anthem!!!

  • not an extremist but a muslim and also luv to play music.

    and i luv them since i can remember their old stff when pretty much no one knew of them... but i think Allah written on the guitar is wrong...

    its just a way of sparking an issue and create trouble.

    not that i can do anything about it. but just saying. still luv this band who on of the few paki bands who actually come up with ' original rock ' music.

    Thanks for making great music.hope u guys start inspiring pakis and not atif.

  • i can't believe i'm just discovering this band now

  • he shouldnt have written Allah on his guitar

  • @terms29 Gitair was crated and developed by Muslims so why not?

  • @terms29 Guitar was crated and developed by Muslims so why not?

  • @terms29 Tum logoon ki yahi sathi soch to poori qom ko lay baithi hay....The govt of mma was bz tearing sign boards containing women pictureson the streets of peshawar.while sofi muhammad was recruiting innocent ppl in the name of Islam....and no body cared to stop him ....all were bz enforcing sharia by tearing advertising boards. from this beautiful song and its superb lyrics u only thought this was worth comenting..???............sad

  • bad ass tune

  • Can you beleive they dint have their CD in lahore Defence last year . Ma check this year or else keep downloading off of the internet. BAD ASS

  • I loveeeeeeeeeee this music and also their song Sailing Fast. Both songs are amazing.

  • he shud nt hve written allah on his guitaar

  • @dasoultaker thats precisely the bullshit that wont let you people advance farther than the stone age. Its so funny, taking offense cause it says ALLAH on a guitar, for fucks sake, get your head out of your asses, getting uptight over a bullshit stupid thing like that. No wonder you people still live in huts and your countries suck ass, its amazing how back minded and ignorant you people are..shame, cause the music isnt half bad.

  • ♥♥♥

  • amazing song. ♥

  • different music, different style... luv 'em...

  • WANNABE FUCKING RETARDS

  • Rock music means "Complaints to society" Look at whatever the rock band, you will find the same complaints....But I think constructive kind of complaints both to media and West as well as to our corrupt politicians who are truly not our representative, i have seen such a fantastic work in ROCK bands for the first time....really moving, thumbs up Co-Van

  • @keeper123

    Tell me if you know a place where allah isnt present......god's every where man .... And wasn't it god that created monkeys to jump around in the first place...get a life bro

  • @khawajaarslanahmed Allah is NOT present everywhere - he resides on his throne, beyond the heavens. Instead, he has knowledge of and the ability to influence all that goes on everywhere. Get your facts straight.

  • @keeper123

    Suck my dick.....email me at

    Gofuckyourself@dickhead.cum

  • I'd love to see them on Coke Studio~!

    Saudi, Afghani

    Pakistani

    Haq, Haq, Haq, Haq.

  • awesome..i like this:)

  • if u are kafir u will love this song. i dont feel like singing and rocking around with a name of ALLAH quoted on a guitar, jumping around here and there.

    pause the video at

    0:40 secs

  • @keeper123 Are you the one who issue certificates of being kafir or muslim.......

  • @keeper123 dont watch the video if U listen to this song theres a big message

  • @keeper123 i am kaafir and i love it :)

    if you love allah, why don't you go back to your cave and not browzse the internet and youtube -- both created by infidels :)

  • @hugga4u I absolutely love that line, I am Kaafir and I love it ;)

    There is no point in arguing with such characters, neither do they understand music, nor they understand religion/anti-religion......I call these guys closed heads.....enjoy the track, i think covens current album is a classic.

  • @hugga4u

    my friend, loving Allah has nothing to do with hating any 1 or anything, loving Allah means you want to build this planet with peace and love, look for the meaning of Islam and for the meaning of assalamu alikum.

    thanks for your comment :)

  • @AlJaghbeer well, try to do a better job of it my friend...i should not have to remind you the history of islam, or religion in general. it kills, hundreds of millions have died because of it. I don't believe in stuff that cannot be seen, and science contradicts religion. Science tells us the grass is green, religion says its purple. I'll go with science ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @hugga4u my dear friend, i honestly dont know what did ur media feed you. but i have some questions for you.

    who is controling the world and starting all the wars for fuel, land, water and full control? It is the same people who told you science is seperated from religion? I dont want to push you to go read books and history writen by known writers. true religion is made by god, who made this universe as we believe, so he too made science, i can give u proofs.

    thanks for ur reply.

  • @AlJaghbeer why are then all the prominent scientists non-believers? you are the one who has been fed bullshit, i have a degree in Sociology from the University of Calgary, i have studied religion in depth.

  • pause at 2:20

  • why oh why did they have to sing it in english with american accents? if they actually did it fully in urdu or punjabi it would have been so great.

  • @retroguy02 what's wrong with singing the song in english man? it's a universal language. they're just singing in a language they're comfortable with. no harm in that.

  • @baggziefiras they are a pakistani band and should relate with the pakistani audience - they're not making the song for americans. and anyway very few pakistani vocalists can pull off english vocals, but then it doesn't end up sounding very pakistani.

  • @retroguy02 maybe they dont want to cater to the pakistani audience that cant relate to it. it's music man..they make it for people who can appreciate it. as for not sounding pakistani..that's really not true. pakistani and western songs just have a different groove to them. u can tell just by the music where the band originates from. u just need to have an ear for it. i like Coven's work. it's good...and it's got socially responsible material.

  • awesome song mazing amzing amzning man!!!!!!! true fact ,,,, watch vedios based upon amercan agenda

  • Pak has got Led Zepplin...Fell in love at first sight..

  • @altheyou agreeeeeed yaaar

  • love this band... ;-)))

  • OMG!!!! a stingray!!!! i want one of those!!! great song!!!

  • i love the song it shows their patriotism to the country as well as their boldness in speaking the truth without any fear ..love u coven great!

  • Everything in a nutshell =p

  • Excellent,  super sound mixing the eastern and western styles.

  • greaaaat ! but who is vocalist? is he Hamza jafri? zabardast.

  • Great i like this

  • Guys, keep it up finally something original and worthwhile!!!rocking

  • Comment removed

  • Sir, THEY HAVE MULTIPLIED..!

    Now this is Music... 2 Thumbs Up. Besides the sick tune, the lyrics are great too. I havn't heard of this band before but I'm deffo gonna be looking for thier album. And for anyone out thier hating on this band, Brother atleast they ain't no wannabes like most of "Rock" musicians in Pak...

  • @Saad7223 hey common bro,we dont have wannabe bands,lets admt it pakistanis are really good at rock,we have pretty good bands starting from junoon to EP to mizraab.

  • @Saad7223 . I ve heard this band 7 years ago and that time everybody had a junoon attack and nobody took coven seriously and now finally they made it. Ready to Die is the real grunge sound i ve ever heard from pakistan. though they sounds more like Stone Temple Pilots but still coven rulez..gud work.

  • @VotePTI They had an EP in 2000. thats when I first heard of them... withs songs like "Killer Whale", "Fur" and "Morning".. Loved it .. this is a little different but still great..

  • man whos on voclas ?

    is it hamza jaafri?

  • Yeah. Haha.. hard to recognize with his new look.

    But he's had this look for a while now

  • im afraid, you suck for posting such comment... this is an amazing song.

  • agree@alishadid

    Suppose a person doesn't know the extent to which he could fully express himself in a particular language [Urdu here] & if he has a choice of another language where he's good at, so what if he decides to express himself with it? The purpose is to vent his anger which he's doing.

    Secondly, its the English speaking minority in Pakistan that's mostly in a deep slumber. So if someone tries to knock some sense in them through the medium they can relate to, so what? Let him do.

  • @ vanasad

    FUCK YOU!  :-)

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing Job guys, I'm with you..!! BTW Lyrics anyone..??

  • well after seeing your interview on mtv i decided to look up this song on utube...but im kind of disappointed...you want to bring change right, you want people to wake up right??? dont you know the literacy rate of our country??? this song serves absolutely know purpose in english, it just seems like wannabe stuff

    so if you want to bring some change then get out of your burger mode, to grasp the common man, you have become a common man also

  • everyone plays their part - if this person is better able to express himself by singing in English - why does it have translate in to "burgerness" or "wannabe" stuff - what have you done for your community my friend? what have you done for Pakistan? other than pasting comments which add no value - be the change yourself, stop criticizing unless you are the change driver

  • Ohh common people wake up now! there is no Taliban!

    the taliban Cnn and bbc or Geo calls are saints who think thrice before killing a fly!

    these blasts and those crazyass tribals are CIA and Mossad sponsered trouble makers! who dont even know how to tie their shoe laces these blasts and attacks is the CIA , RAW and MOSSAD training

  • On one side Americans and the west see you as anti-american, taliban infuences and God knows what they can come up with. On the other side, Taliban is out there to get you! And break your guitar.

    Damn you, just expressed what we some people are left in the middle of all this shitty wars, power and politics.

    And you and me? We have a double war going on within us.

    It's so fucking true, I love you Coven.

  • they are dead if taliban finds out theres Allah written on the guitar ....

  • reallity.....best demonstration ov usa ever.

  • we ll have to setup a separate youtube or something, and promote it .. because there is enough hatred for us and as we can see from the comments...

    one eyed media has taken over the world, it surely has.

  • Good stuff. Am from Mumbai - we have some good rock artists. maybe someone could organize a south asian rock fest

  • nope, i dont like indian metal bands.

  • Ok. You can stay away then.

  • Hmmmm....

    Pakistani here who agrees.....

    However, I really don't know of any Indian bands, I don't know if that's because they don't exist or because their presence is overshadowed by bollywood.

  • good song

  • vanasad, inward growing people like you must die. not coven.

  • Who are you to judge??

  • Comment removed

  • @vanasad when has it become a shameful to not be a muslim? it's a shame that uneducated narrow minded bigots like are you roaming freely. just because i don't agree with, i must die. seriously man, shame on you for being who you are.

  • vanasad must die

  • The song goes tries to show how iraqi, irani, saudi, afghani and pakistani are joint together only through two bonds: 1) humanity 2) Islam.

  • There is another connection which this song doesn't mention. Most of the export of terrorism to the world is from Iraqi, Irani, Saudi, Afghani and Pakistani. Just a thought!

  • well said.

  • geo co-ven! we need good pakistani bands

  • Co-Ven Guys- I like your open comments

    in this song, Good Work with good music.

    Fortunately, you have also got really good and 'true' muslim fans over here, hope to see you making some researched video about 'Music' in the light of Islam :)

    Enjoy Youtube

  • Ready to Die... bari bari

  • its not saudi. He cant even pronounce it properly. Its Sau3di. There is "ain" there. Poor pronunciation. Many other mistakes.

  • Excellent song & really good video too! Please keep making great music like this and post more videos.

  • @yarbina

    With all the more due respect... Quran and hadith tell you what you can't do... not the other way around. They don't tell you to watch TV, Run, fly a plane etc. Doesn't mean they are haram. They tell you you can't eat swine... so it is haram. On the other hand, they do not tell you you can't play or listen to Music. So it isn't haram.

    Simple and makes perfect sense.

    No?

  • Yes it makes sense. I agree with you... Quran says Swine is haram, Liquor is haram, Zina is haram but Quran does not say dog is haram. then why dont we eat dog ??? tell me We dont eat dog coz we came to know from hadith that dog is NIJIS. ok the same goes for music.... Quran doest say but in hadith it is clearly mentioned. If you dont know kindly tell me i will give you complete quote from Hadith bukhari , Tirmizi. And I am talking authentic. Kindly let me know if you need help.

  • If you want to believe the veracity of traditions which were handled orally for about 3-5 generations before they were written down, then go ahead.

  • All i can say is May Allah Guide us all the right path. Ameen.

  • that is what you think. You can believe in a spaghetti monster in the sky who you pray to. I could care less.

  • One more challenge for you. Please prove me where it is mentioned in Quran How to pray ? Quran does not tell you how to pray. Its hadith which tells you how to pray & how many rakats are in different prayer, what is farz & what is Sunnah in prayers you got everything from hadtih. So my dear brother here is my question why do we get so lame in those things which we like? Why do we have limitations to search music ??? Why why tell me why?

  • For a moment, leave that music is halal or haram.. think for a while that how many Muslims are killed on daily basis everywhere. They are killed coz they are Muslims. Dont you know ? Rather than mourning we enjoy ourselves by says they misery is there not ours. How can we do that ? I would say the least we could do it pray for them rather than wasting time in Music.

    I am sorry if I hurt you feelings. Indeed Allah Knows the best. May Allah Guide all musilm Umma the right path (Ameen).

  • is good

  • fukin sweeet

    pakistabnizzzzz for like

    btw chek pakistani gangsta the pakistani rap ..by me aka crack;P

  • Bohat Alaaa :) love the music arrangement,lyrics,composition­. Gud Job Guys

  • awsome man

  • I like

  • co-Ven !!!!

  • saudi afghani

  • why does he say that?

  • what does he say before pakistani

  • turn on closed captioning on this video to see the lyrics

  • south asia zindabad

  • Shop-fronts

    Shop-walls

    Painted or printed on boundary-walls outside

    Written in chalk in random public places

    ..................and the list goes on.

    In my opinion, all of the above are FAR dirtier and more innapropriate places to place the name of God on. Exposed to dust, pollution, grime and all sorts of other unpleasant elements.

    It's very funny how all-of-a-sudden people notice something written on a guitar.

  • Yeah ! you're right ... I have seen "Allah" painted on walls of a junk-yard too ... that's pathetic ! :(

  • To all of you who have issues with God's name placed on the guitar in the video, I would like to try and put things into perspective.

    I live in Pakistan, and everyday I see "Allah" stickers in the following places:

    Cars

    Rickshaws

    Trucks

    Bicycles

    Motorbikes

    Hanging from rear-view mirrors in the form of Fuzzy Letters, Shiny CD's, Dashboard Stickers, Mirror-Ball, Illuminated dashboard fixtures (taxis, trucks)

  • unless you know something for a fact, based off a hadith or ayah etc you cannot just spew out what you think is 'right' or 'logical'. you cant base your arguements JUST on logic, for example, when you do mas-h (wiping on socks when doing wudoo), how does it make sense that you wipe only the top of the foot while you walk on your soles?

    inshallah i've done my duty as a muslim, may Allah guide us all.inshallah i've done my duty as a muslim, may Allah guide us all.

  • i would just like to point out that giving your uneducated (islamic PROPER education, not what your parents believe or your society believes or because dawud warnsbury makes songs w/ string instruments etc) opinions on islam is a sin, because you are basically giving a fatwa, and when you are not a scholar of islam and you start handing out your own fatwas based off of your logic, you are sinning greatly.

  • to scholars commenting here !!!

    acha yaar Music haram hai keh nai yeah jab hum mar jaengay tu direct ja keh Allah say poch leingay what you say..sahe hai na chalo ab asey kartey hain keh sub sharafat say song suntey hain :P

  • This video rocks this song rocks.... and all you mullahas that think music is haram kiss my ass this bad is doing a better job at getting the point across without hurting anyone or by miss quoting the religion like all extremest.

  • Good job guys .. excellent idea ... musically kick ass ! 10/10 points to the guy who sang this song! and fuck you to the people who want to bring religion into this!

  • Right on !

  • As an Indian, let me congratulate you for a fantastic song. Great stuff. Do you have your other stuff available somewhere? A website?

  • Awesome song!! loving it! great idea to include that Allaho Akbar sign... Islam is ours. Extremists dont have the right to twist our beautiful religion in a way that all Muslims are perceived to be as terrorists like them.

    Long Live Pakistan!

  • maryam its not pop ... its rock

    yea it is great

  • great pop

  • Great stuff ... and stop arguing about this halaal/haraam music thing ... you don't wanna listen to it... go somewhere else ! Nobody is forcing you to listen it ...

Guys think Think we all have to die.. & any kind fitna's which create will go with us in Qaber.... People who would us later will also fall in our plate... So Please think.........................

  • Mr. Immortalsoloist !!!!

    you need to reconfirm about whats wrong and whats not. Better go and check out that who wrote the tasfeer of the Quraan that u read!!

  • I already have there is only one Quran my friend. Anyways you know I have always gotten in to these arguments a little advice to you get an english translated Holy Quran by Abdullah yusuf Ali And u will get all ur answers . Anyways this argument will never end at the end of the day you will always believe what you want and I will believe what I believe cause I have done enough research on it you probably would have done the same in your way.

    Good day.

    Jazak Allah Khair.

  • Salam,

    I still would like an answer that is music haram acc. to ur opinion, or no ???

  • W.salam,

    My brother it's not haram. Music is all around is it's in nature as well feel the rhythm in the waves in the chirping of the birds the different sounds in nature it's all music we have all been given a voice box mashallah some people have a really good one and some don't. Those that possess a good one have sur which basically means music. For example if I say something bad like any bad words or something then my speech becomes in appropriate it's the same case in music. good and bad.

  • aaha! I understand. You mean alcohol made by natural process is halal when its proven good for health.

  • Listen buddy,

    I wasn't even talking to you alcohol is strictly prohibited and is already haram in the Quran music isn't. You know instead of arguing with me here do your own research. I have done mine and I know the answer.

    Jazak Allah Khair.

  • and alcohol can be used on wounds and all but to take it in directly it makes you loose conscience so when it does that and it makes you loose your senses it becomes haram for that reason.

    Salam.

  • According to these people everything is haram. Today it's music...tommorow it'll be tubelights...riding a bike...even walking.

    Thing is they don't read Quran they got taught it by these fucking stupid illiterate mullahs who can't even read or write URDU properly let alone English...

    So speaks volumes about the situation these days.

    Mullahs need to piss off.

    Period.

    Pakistan Rocks!

  • With due respect "oichakdeyphatay ". Go do whatever u want 2 do. Music, Pork, Zina all is Halal. Mashallah U r a pure Muslim. May Allah give u more strength 2 stay in ur Islamic path. Lastly I would say that u r so true Muslim that ur language proves it aswell. Meray Piyaray bhai Mughay bhi tu bataooo kon sa Islam kehta hai keh music halal hai ? Please guide me with quotations of hadith, Quran & Sunnah. I dont want u 2 throw an arrow in air. May Allah Guide us all the right path. Ameen

  • Yaar ! if you don't wanna listen to this stuff ... why are you posting comments here ... this is not place for your "tableeghi" ijtemaah .... go somewhere else ... if you don't like music, don't listen to it ... nobody is forcing you !

  • I agree this is not the place to do tabligeeh. But always rememeber what is is worng. Being a muslim its our duty to rectify our brohters & sisters. If we dont do it we will be answerable at the day of judegement. Allah hum saab ko apnay hifzo-aman main rakhay. Ameen

    Sorry if I've hurt your feelings. Allah mughay aur seedhi rah per gamzan karay. Ameen
