  • The lead vocals totally doesn't suit to sing Pantera xD

  • The lead singer friggin sucks!!!! The Bassist had the vocals down!!!!

  • you are never going to guess... THE DANCING QUEEN 0:13

  • bassist has better vocals for this song.

  • Penguin man?

  • the bassist is better than the real vocalist... XD

  • Good cover but I agree with whoever said it was too fast. The song is upbeat enough as it is, and the quicker tempo kinda kills that addicting "head bobbing" rhythm.

  • hmmmm my only bitch is that its too fast -- good job guys -- just get a metronome

  • Man. Mercenary's songs are sooo much better then Pantara. Still cool, I guess, but i'd like a video of them playing Firesoul or 11 Dreams from PowerProg, not a cover from a shitty overrated band :P

  • good vocals

  • good vocals

  • All you criticizing the frontman need to listen to the band's songs such as lost reality. Mikkel has amazing vocals. Pantera just isn't his vocal style.

  • Too many Pantera bandwagon jumpers on this thread. This is Mercenary covering the tune. Most of you Pantera fan wannabes probobly had no clue untill Diamond Darrell was killed. Yes thats right Diamond. Thats what he went by from roughly 81-92 when Vulgar dropped. You have to love posers.

  • Was that one in Atlanta?!?! If it was i was there!!

  • that guy is a horrible singer. the bassest should be the lead singer

  • @dimebag2021 he is now

  • first part the vocals rule when the bass player was singing

  • eww the front man butchered the vocals but otherwise the band did ok

  • dimebag was killed in a place in columbus ohio i dont know how to spell it by someone from marysville ohio i live in marysville

  • 2:54 this people started in oficial video this pantera in 0:15 Fuck awesome

  • which pantera members died and what did they play???

  • The famous one who died is 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbot, who was shot by a crazed fan during a concert with his then band Damageplan.

    Luckily we got 'im back with a bigger gun a few minutes later. The asshole killed some innocents at that concert too.

  • Forgot to mention, he was their guitarist.

  • dimebag, and he was the guitarist, are u dumb or are u just not a fan? lol dimebag was a beast... RIP dimebag darrell.

  • only dimebag darrell died.. he played guitar. the people alive are phil (vox), vinnie (drums), and rex (bass). check out the band "DOWN" it has phil and rex in the band, their pretty good..

  • Dime wasnt only one who died a fan died and 3 people in security if im correct. But definately not just DIME

  • when i said dime was the only one that died, i was referring to the fact that he was the only one who died out of the members of pantera..answering atz4's question before..

  • wow, this blows. the lead singer sucks and he got some of the words wrong. it's high noon, you're doomed, not come noon, you're doomed. phil would beat his ass if he saw this shit.

  • Fuckin' sickness! that's why they are my favorite band

  • This just make me do /facepalm..

    I LOVE Mercenary but this is just baaaad...

    Danmark FTW

  • Im from Denmark and Mercenary fucking rock!!!

  • they played a bit too fast

  • homot

  • bassists vocals are really good

  • like the bass players vocals better. pretty good though

  • i know them all personal

  • His singing reminds a lot of Phil Anselmo

  • @EvoVaiflO Good thing he's the lead vocalist now. :D

  • cool cover but god damit does every band half to do it off tempo

  • FUCK YES !

  • That was awesome! Martin played a great solo! Of all the covers and interpretations of this song I like Mercenary's the best.

    Loved the dance moves that guy on stage does during the solo, and who wears a Hawaiian shirt to a metal show? If I were of age I'd buy the dude a beer.

  • oh man that first line of " oooooh come on"

    it was late and he missed the oooh

    other than that, suprisingly good vocals

  • played a bit fast, but fucking awesome cover. nice vocals

  • Mercenary is one of the best band in the world!!! They are from little Denmark (so am I)

  • Not bad, maybe this is the best cfh cover that' i've listen

  • now this is an awesome cfh cover... amazing solo as well!!!

  • the keyboard is great LOL

    jajajaj

    What could do that man on this song?

    METAL RULES

    DIMEBAG RIP

  • the song is so fast ...but also it sounds awesome.

  • good interpretation of the solo....

  • the song is very fast :(

  • what the fuck.....

  • Fucking awful.

  • The only reason i started this arguement was because i have read in many interviews with Dimebag and in his Riffer Madness book, he states that he put some flange on and started playing the intro riff too cowboys which he recorded on his 4 track, when he tryed to play it again he couldnt get it to sound the same. so whenever they played it live they played his loop over the PA. The intro at ozzfest sounds way too simliar to the original loop so thats why i dont reckon zakks playin it.

  • wow the bassist kicked ass at the vocals!!!

  • terrible they raped panteras version

  • bass is better vocal

  • the guitarist need turn up their amps

  • I know metal is supposed to be done faster, yet this would have been better and more powerful at normal speed.

  • awsome cover

  • I liked the bassist's singing better...Aside from that, it was done well, IT'S NOT METAL UNLESS ITS PLAYED FASTER THAN IT WAS RECORDED!

  • true dat!!!!

  • Anyone know where i can get the intro to this song? Just the flanger bit, recorded. Like Pantera did before CFH? Thanks.

  • You just cut from the song?

  • Yeah but Dime had it going on for ages before he started playing. On the record he starts playing at like 8 seconds.

  • Buy the real cd instead of downloading it for free and support the underground and rid the planet of soulja boy bullshit?

  • Yeah lol, I'm just lookin for a record of the flanger intro that could go on for much longer than it does on the actual track.

  • I can make you one,how long you want?

  • Moot point, but as a young black man I must say....FUCK SOULJA BOY! HANG 'EM AND HANG 'EM HIGH!!!

  • actually alots of times they had someone backstage do the flanger part. like one time they had Zakk Wydle there doing it.

  • no they didnt. it was a loop that Dimebag recorded on his 4-track.

  • really watch Pantera CFH live at ozzfest in 2000, Phil says "were taking over this town" then he is like "Zakk Wylde Lead Us!" and he starts playing it. I guess I meant some of the time they have someone playing it.

  • I dunno I think Phil is saying "Zakk Wylde Lead Guitar"(Zakk Wylde played lead guitar for Primal Concrete sledge, the song before cowboys from hell)so i think he carrying on still from the last song.

  • to me he is clearly saying "Zakk Wylde Lead Us On" why would he say Zakk WYlde Lead guitar after saying Were takign over this town? and zakk plays at the end of sledge If you did'nt notice Dime gives Zakk his Culprit to play at the end.

  • I know that Dime gave Zakk his Culprit at the end of Sledge, So what if it wasent in the exact song, they were still jammin on it at the end.

    Phil was wasted so who knows what he would do? maybe he remebered that he didnt thank zakk for his solo? I dont know

  • it was a good cover

  • ur off beat

  • Gah, every CFH cover i've ever seen has drums that sound too tinny and weak, not like vinnie paul whatsoever.

  • amazing cover!

  • the bassist has a sick voice

    great cover

  • and this is why people shouldnt cover pantera songs, drumming, bass, guitar spot on, vvocals, lacking to say the most, say wat u want about phill but his voice is 1 of a kind!

  • props to the mercenary guitarist, hes the only one IVE heard of that actually nailed that solo....up next cemetary gates solo....lol.....ill shutup now.....bye.....

  • Dream Theater's done Cemetery Gates

  • heh the recording i hear the guitarist...mustaine i think played it for them that time not sure tho...didnt even come close...he actually fucked it up pretty bad

  • fuck dream theaters cover of cemetery gates, those bastards butchered it. i hate petrucci and mustaine for that shit

  • @gunstar9 and it sucks

  • @gunstar9 so have Evile now

  • @gunstar9 evile's cover of cemetary gates is the best \m/

  • falta subirle mas a las guitarras y al bajo o bajarle un poko a la bateria pero estubo muy bn!!!!

  • i like it

  • you need mahagony for that bass-treble heavy chunky guitar sound, and plenty of midrange to scoop the mids out yet have some heavy sound

  • madò che voce...bella lì, ben fatto... ;-)

  • I kinda thought these guys sounded pretty good at this show. BUT they played SO GOD DAMM LOUD i can't be sure. And the dude who staged dive was the promoter of Progpower USA, Glenn Harverster, who seems to be more popular than the bands who play his festival each year. JORN stole the show the year of this video!

  • Nice cover!

  • Pantera ftw ! u cant compare these two bands thou, completely different styles and I Luv 'em both ! Mercenary has a helluva time ahead of em thou, If they just wanna be nearly as good as pantera. They're off to a good start thou ^^ "First Breath" and "11 Dreams" are both fekking good Albs

  • ok, for the people that love pantera im sorry, but they just aint my cup of tea. sure they had some good songs but i think this band is way better.

    Dimebag was a great guitarest but i dont think he was the best as people say, cause i have listened to bands that are way better than him on guitar.

    and no covers are ever perfect, but these do it their way and it sounds good.

  • Nice work..who gives a shit about the tempo...Its a cover.

  • this sucks

  • shit eater

  • Why the hell was jimmybobs comment put down? It's fucking true. Pantera had a good vocalist and guitarist but Dimebag was way over rated.

    And keep in fucking mind that Mercenary plays a fucking completely different genre of music than Pantera did you fucking morons.

  • You suck ass fags.

  • oh look chadiii1 is a Pantera fan boy. It's a fucking cover kid, it's not supposed to be the same as the real thing. And Mercenary >>>>>>>>>> Pantera.

  • Playing good. Tempo bad.

  • solo sounded crap with tapping

  • awesome guitarist, he did the best job at this cover lol

  • Obviously the Pantera version is better. Mikkel just doesn't have the kind of voice for this song. Also, to everyone who says it's "too fast", get the hell over it. It's a fucking COVER for God's sake, they can play it at whatever tempo they want. Anyway, I still love me some Mercenary, even if this cover is far from perfect.

  • wow....i think the bassist and the vocalist should switch places....and it's way too fast

  • the bassists playing the simple version he needs to see rex play it live and try that it sounds way better

  • Its way too fast! WTF are these guys thinking, too excited or something.

  • i'm sorry...i don't like it...(the solo is wrong...there's no tapping...do it better...)

  • Sounds real good just need to slow down the tempo a little.Keep it up:)

  • fuckin shite too fast!

  • like it

  • martin buus (the lead guitarist) was at a guitarclinic in slikeborg, denmark and i played his guitar and he said to me "Thats amazing dude! Wanna join Mercenary?" he diddent mean it but anyway its fukin cool right?! lol

  • the point is to tribute them, its like they respect pantera and believe that dimebag shud RIP

  • nah i agree with that, but still, they shouldnt lose there own sound when doin a song, if i was in a big band id wanna hear covers that didnt sound exactly the same

  • WOW you are dumb..the point of doin a cover is to try and make it sound like the original..its never goin to sound perfect but these dudes did a very close job...

  • thats not always the point of a cover, wtf r u talkin about

  • mikkel the lead singer, is such a fucking nice singer, i'am from denmark my self, and watch mercenary a lot of times now, this band is god damn awesome, just love those guys, and after they play concerts, then we drink a lot with thoses guys

  • been a long time since i've seen a stage dive

  • No one can make a perfect Pantera cover.. but they gave it a good try :)

    didn't know Mercenary were from Denmark?

  • They are a melodic death metal band from Denmark the vocals aren't going sound perfect. Lets see you sing a song in another language perfectly.

  • i liked it :D nice job

  • ok u guyz wh oare fuct in the head, no one is ever gonig to sound like phil. pantera is one of the most untouchable bands ever. and these guyz did a wicked job at the song so good fuking job boy's. fuk the haters who don't know shit about music.

  • hhuuumm, vocal wasnt that good, tone on the whole guitar setup was pritty shoddy, the vocal sounds like hes singing queensryche style at some points,if you wanna chek out a really good cover of this song, type isotopia into the search bar, ther a british band who have just signed with the orchard in New York, ther only 18 years old, ther version is MUCH better than this!!!!!

  • Mercenary's original stuff is much better than this.

  • This was Awesome cuz i got to witness this first hand!

  • good cover. the solo was awesome

    although he will do it like dime

    RIP DIME

  • Are you nuts? He didn't even cover the whole solo. You think being that old you would've atleast put in more time on that.

  • are u an idiot? the whole solo was there...

  • its was a good cover, but there was the bass player. i mean he was okay. his bass should have been louder. Rex would be ashamed to hear that horrible bass line.

  • HOLY SHIT!

    That was the best cover ever, and the solo was faultless, it brought a tear to my eye.. and i mean that

    fucking awsome!

  • this is a great cover.

  • he wishes he could sing like phil

  • noone can sing like phil :P

  • Nicccccce. Good drummer.

  • Class

  • nice cover.. these guys can play the damn thing.. very many of the bands covering this tune cant. nicely done guys

  • idk where you're getting this disturbed business from but quit you're bitching. it's a tribute to a legend. who are you to complain about it.  Dime would be proud that his music influenced so many people. how dare you insult on homage to Dime, you should be ashamed of yourself.

  • lol, like im gonna take the opinion of "John Stamos" oh come on, go back and watch some full house moron, i wasn't saying any of that as an insult to dime, if you're gonna pay homage to dime, at least do a little better job preparing for it

  • solo wuz impresseive ive been learning that the past couple days you did it good

  • Bassist is good (Y)

  • someone should have shot that guy in the hawaiian shirt instead of Dimebag, what a douche. And dime is probably flicking you off from heaven cause u suck so badly!

  • Nah man. The guy in the Hawaiian shirt is THE Harvester, Glenn Harveston himself. He is legend.

  • A tad fast, other than that pretty good.

  • wtf dimes proberbly screamin in pain

  • dude, lose the lead singer and let the bass player sing. he was pretty good compared to that other fuck nut

  • is it joke?

  • SHITTY ASS SINGING

  • are you kidding me with that last comment? you actually think these guys are good, their singer is too chicken shit to sing anything but the chorus of the song!! what does that tell you? and as far as what you said about Dime, fuck you!! none of these guys will ever be in his league as far as musical talent is concerned. he was better as a 12 year old then these guys are now!!

  • If you knew this band you would know that the bassist handles the heavy parts. Its called diversity

  • no, it's called an untalented singer. whats even worse is just looking at the "singer" if you can even fuckin call him that is all he's doin is trying to mimic david draiman of disturbed, with everything, from the way he sings to the way he moves around on stage. and he does a shitty job of it

  • You can't judge a band by the covers they do. Its not their style of Metal. But I'll salute when ANY band oays homage to one the greats.

  • Shut your faggot mouth...they were paying tribute to an amazing band...who cares if it's good? Dime would be proud.

  • Year the lead singer, is a teacher on our school in Denmark his name is MIkkel

  • Wow, they even get some of the lyrics wrong at some points. They shouldn't have even tried.

  • This fuckin sucks, the vocals are terrible and the guitar is way below par for such a great song. these guys have no business covering Pantera at all!!

  • 2:48 olny good part

  • It's better then nothin, u dumb fuck. just cuz they have short hair dont mean shit... so get ur shit right...lol

  • WHO the fuck is Mercenary, and why the FUCK did they just destroy Cowboys From Hell? *shudders* I feel cold.

  • Well fucking said.

  • Mercenary owns you. They are the new way of european metal. Get with the fucking times mountain man

  • How boring.

  • Big shit *_*

  • I got a pick from the bassist at a concert, lost it the next day :(

  • i do think that the band should have punted the short haired singer out the fucking back door...he sucks

  • Phil had Short hair and he headbanged his way to Far Beyond Driven
