  • this is beyond awesome, i can't find words, it seems as words are not enough, like i know someone before me have spoken, it's a perfect band no sellouts just pure.

  • Chris is to awesome to show his entire face in the picture

  • I love the camera work on here, Sam Raimi style dude!

  • The clans are gathering northwestfront d o t org

  • @youarewrongification clans not able to gather, canada! thus clans gather, elsewhere. bioethics human experimentation- eugenics-our soil. direct machine to brain interfacing and 'copying' of the folk for post death purpose?! Calls out for a gathering!

  • Lol, people, chill out. Does it matter anyhow if Van Canto is truely metal or only acapella or hidden vegetarian death metal band? That's childlish.

    I heard Van Canto version first and hence I looked up the original. I don't compare it as this is the ORIGINAL and it's their invention, all glory to them. Van Canto is simply more modern band so they might sound better for many. This is not a bad thing as Grave Digger gets more attention thanks to such covers of their songs.

  • This is a way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, underrated band

  • @twitterfire these are healers, for sure

  • Van Canto felt a lot more appeal to say it the least. I just didn't feel the same towards this one.

  • i like the the chorus better with this one but the whole song is better in the a cappella metal version.

    Yes, A Capella Metal. Van Canto are a metal band. Just because they dont use standard instruments doesnt make them not metal anymore. They sound like metal, the fans are Metalheads and you cant say that the songs arent metal songs. What else do you need to declare yourself Metal? I crowdsurfed to Van Canto at Wacken Open Air and i can assure you: they are METAL!

  • The original is all right, but like every other comment, I have to agree. I heard Van Canto first, and I like it more. It's just better made than this song.

  • The song is so legendary..but cmon, the video sucks :D

  • Tout simplement jouissif !!

  • this song reminds me skyrim I don't know why...

  • van canto are awesome and inovative in a way.so stop bitchin' about them.i hate ppl who love a band and talk dirt about others.don't like it?keep it to yourself!i love grave digger as much as i love van canto,queen,and mayhem.

  • Where is a clip?! FUCKING ACTA.

  • Damn, now I have to go watch braveheart!

  • can you please stop discussing about van canto in here? thank you! grave digger are nice and this is one of their greatest songs!

  • HIGHLANDS!

  • Type in "Rebellion *space*" Grave Digger is greater than Britney Spears.

  • too all those that love to compare covers and originals SHUT THE FUCK UP, listen to a song and if you dont like it (if its a cover dont say that the original was better same goes for the reverse)

    both versions are awesome :) END OF

  • lol the vocals are quite funny :D

  • @MrMetallkopf cocksucker .|.

  • @stavros95gr oh well that comment sounds like you're a really intelligent person :D

    ..just put the dick out of your ass (:

  • This video is a favorite on Tanzania

  • haha xDD the vocals are ... nc

  • i wouldnt say one of the band is worse and one is good.. van canto is more inventive but grave digger is true metal \m/ , i like both bands and both versions, too. dont argue what kind of band is better, just be metal and rakataka motherfucker :>

  • long live scotland .....independence and socialism !

  • Proud to be Scottish !

  • OMG...Grave Digger is so weak.

    I saw them at the "Power of Metal" Tour this year. They were nothing, with their grandpa music. Sabaton and PowerWolf fucked them with every song they played this evening.

  • @TheHeartbreaker2009 Without Grave Digger the german Metal scene wouldn´t be the same, they are the fathers of german Heavy/Power Metal and made the way for (of course great) bands like Powerwolf. If you are not into the traditional kind of true Heavy Metal, if you are into "Pop-Metal" like Sabaton, thats ok. But Grave Digger burn 90% of the young Metal Bands with one riff down to the fucking ground. To sound as powerful as Grave Digger, Sabaton need a huge soundwall of Keyboards. THAT is weak.

  • @Scheilo66 I think that you dont really know Sabaton. Listen to typical songs like "Screaming Eagles" or "Attero Dominatus". They need no keyboard the produce such powerful music. And whats about PowerWolf? THIS is Power-Metal. Grave Digger is boring, old-fashioned. The Metalheads in the club were quit. Three fans of Grave Digger cried and only when they played "Rebellion" there was a bit metal-feeling and emotion. And then came PowerWolf with "Sanctified with Dynamite" and the Club went crazy.

  • @TheHeartbreaker2009 Grave Digger is like (don´t go agressive its only an example i hat it to) snoop dog:

    Oldschool! They are the Heroes of the Metalscene and i would say they are important like Manowar megadeth etc.

  • Hail to Grave Digger from Poland!

  • The guitar tone reminds me of Randy Rhoads

  • Wolfchant brought me here, and this brought me to Van Canto.

  • Room enough for everyone here folks.

    Besides we have a far larger threat on our hands than inter-band fan arguments. Let's go deal with that before we go back to seeing who's got the better band. Ya?

  • Scotland ftw.

  • A Hymn For All...

  • this is so epic lets rebel against something!!!

  • @TheNadagast I go with you

  • @TheNadagast i'm in! lol drums pounding, eh? Check out bioethics, telemetric biometerics, nanotechnology, machine brain direct interfacing.... hmmm... whatever could we rise and rail against? Ethics committees, of all nations, maybe? I am sooo serious, dude. Wait until u see what folks have been doing in war medicine! Defend, thyself, honorable one. Hibiscus grows also in the north.... need i say more? The eagle has landed. Falcon?Snowman?It's the gaellic, 'zup.gmail me 'bro flynn.loves.justice@

  • @TheNadagast yeap, against sopa and etc... \m/

  • Comment removed

  • why you cant enjoy the good heavy metal?^^

  • Why you oppose Van canto at grave digger? I ear the 2 versions and I like the 2 songs... Vancanto don't want to harm at Grave digger....

  • For everyone: This song is made and writen by GRAVE DIGGER. And the original version is much better than the VAN CANTO version 'cause it's the original. I bet VAN CANTO would say the same. (They wouldnt cover it, if they didnt love it -.-)

    Fuer alle: Dieses Lied wurde von GRAVE DIGGER geschrieben und gespielt. Die original Version ist besser als das VAN CANTO cover, da es eben das Original ist! VAN CANTO wuerden das selbe sagen.

  • @HansImAffen do you really think that your oppinion is the best and the truest? well, sorry to dissapoint youbut... it's NOT! so please would you be so nice to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • I don't get all the bitching about Van Canto. Personally, I find them better but that's my opinion and I'm not going to press it upon anyone. To answer the questions people are asking, Van Canto is a German acapella metal band. Their video has more views because it has the lead singer of Grave Digger in it and it is acapella METAL. Not to detract from Grave Digger, but I'm pretty sure most people find acapella metal more interesting.

  • @TheUltimateNoob001 what the fuck is acapella metal?

  • @amerenkinjutsu Basically. It is a version of metal where the bass, guitar, and vocals are all voice instead. The only instrument Van Canto use are the drums.

  • @amerenkinjutsu Exactly what it sounds. Four people sing the guitar lyrics and one guy pounds on the drums. It's pretty interesting.

  • @TheUltimateNoob001

    must suck to be wrong

  • @sirrusso11 Not really sure what you're referring to.

  • @TheUltimateNoob001 There's no such thing as 'acapella metal'. Acapella is just acapella.

  • @emadhatter That is what they are labeled as, though. Van Canto fuses a cappella with heavy/power metal, creating what they call "hero metal a cappella" -- I see it often shortened to a cappella metal. Though, I hate arguments of genres and sub genres. I just generally enjoy the songs and move on. ^_^;

  • Comment removed

  • @emadhatter And you! Explain why a cappella (two words) metal isn't real?

  • @bookgrrrl101 he means an a cappella cover of a metal song is still a cappella, not a new genre of music just because it covers metal

  • @emadhatter Agreed. Acapella+anything = not acapella. Since you can't have metal without specific instruments and musical elements which define the genre of "metal" by its most basic definition... Good luck trying to sell "acapella metal" to anyone who isn't mentally deficient. Never heard this band before, not bad but however fitting with the history lesson, the bagpipe solo was a bit silly and the frontman has the charisma and demeanor of Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.

  • @emadhatter I think he missed Symphonic between the other 2 words. Anyway, I like more this version.

  • I always knew EDDIE´S band would rock...

    eheheh

  • Great song

  • van canto is better

  • Van Canto is 1000 besser =) aber der song hat denoch was =)

  • Just EPIC!!!

  • Van Canto sucks huge balls. Gravedigger !

  • why does van cantos version have more views than this

  • this is epic shit yeah :D

    \m/

  • this is old school

  • grave digger, destruction, tankard, sodom, siii, el metal aleman es demoledor, the metal germany is devastating. from argentina for the strength of metal

  • grave digger, destruction, tankard, sodom, siii, el metal aleman es demoledor, the metal germany is devastating. from argentina for the strength of metal

  • SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nothing is more Metal than a fucking Bagpipe Solo.

    Fuck yes. Grave Digger.

  • i missed the Bagpipes in van Cantos version

  • for me, van canto is just a curiosity... an interesting idea, but 3 or 4 songs are enough... a good idea but not enough good to worth an entire album or concert. Im not saying they are crap, they made good work, but after 3 o 4 covers heard, the magic dies.

  • @M0lk They do original stuff too

  • @Xyleera8 yeah, but still.. for me, they are like a "one hit wonder", a meme, a "catchy" idea, or someting like that. The only reason i was ever interested in them was for a cover.. if they have their own stuff... they aren't that "awesome" for me to follow them... They choose Kickass songs to cover, an that's the only reason for me to hear them... but.. i think enough is enough...

  • @M0lk You know, it was the same for me with Weird Al Yankovic.

  • @Almareaver I beg to differ. The original song is great, but in my mind Van Canto does succeed better in mediating the impression of war and thousands of clansmen marching.

  • van canto cover are so much better then this original...

  • @TanteTom i guess you are 12-20 years old to say that ;p

  • @TanteTom both are good, but the best was the Wacken Concert, where both sang this song together with Hansi Kürsch

  • @1Ebrithil  wtf! awesome!

  • @TanteTom

    u are kidding me ?

  • Thumbs up if GRAVE DIGGER brought you here! .

  • Really something this is, Grave Digger...I'm lucky to still keep the heavymetalbreakdown 12" vinyl ! Their first one!

  • I love it!

    Orginal the best. :)

  • Thumbs up if you brought yourself here!!!

  • love Grave Digger so much but this sound is too thin

  • Great song. I'm waiting for GD and Blind Guardian in Warsaw. :D

  • Thanks to Van Canto i'm here. Now i have to go to some shop and find Grave Digger albums too ^^

  • best tune ever made

  • This song reminds us of the rights we have and that we shouldn't take them for granted. Or at least it should.

  • das Excalibur Video ist weg ;(

  • 14 dieed at the battle of edinburgh

  • Fuck old historical hatreds and prejudices. It's time to let go of the past and work toward a future that is GOOD for all mankind.

    Beside this, historical rivalries make great music and this track is badass. Learned of Grave Digger from listening to the cover of this from Van Canto, which is awesome. Glad to know of these two GREAT bands. Keep rocking. Keep fighting for the glory of all mankind.

  • @blaztermaniac75 Van Canto bought me here too =o)

  • @blaztermaniac75 god damned VAN CANTO sucks compared to grave digger!! they make shit out of good songs like maidens fear of the dark! i saw them on breeze 2010 and i was ASHAMED to see something like this on a metal festival!!!! cant understand why blind guardian took them as band playin before them...something works really wrong...damned.

  • @48cannibalcorpse It's callled art in music. You can't compare the original version of the music to Van Canto based on just instruments and singing. You have to listen to how each guitar strum was imitated through voice. That's Van Canto's talent. The original artists of their songs do not just allow Van Canto to do their music without some music appreciation first. You might want to go and study music theory first before you say a capella sucks.

  • @blaztermaniac75 dont worry bout it, he's probably a 14-17 yr old with too much testosteron who thinks hes a metalhead.

    O.T. i did come here because of the van canto song :P they're both good

  • @blaztermaniac75 hmm i think is always sings in van cantos version ;)

  • @blaztermaniac75 who the hell are van canto? bow down to grave digger!

  • @artur297 their metallica or something???

  • @artur297 Van Canto is the best band ever created !!! They are a Hero Metal Acapella band !!!!

    Visit my channel !!! You can see some of my videos about this awesome band !!!

    Can you make better ?? No, it's VAN CANTO !!!

  • @ClopaxdeTralala Dude Van Canto Suck lol

  • @FireAndDamnation you are a f****ing asshole !!!

    Van Canto is the best metal band !!

  • @ClopaxdeTralala They're the worst Band ever! They need to play instruments instead of making noise with they're mouths :) . Grave Digger are better :)

  • @FireAndDamnation

    Van Canto are fuckin' great!

    It needs much more talent to form the tone with your mouth.

  • @FireAndDamnation if you can tell me one band who can make metal a capella better then van canto then i will agree with you

  • @artur297 Van Canto is pretty god damn rad, I love grave digger, but Van Canto kickes 23 different flavors of ass. Take a look at this. watch?v=PbzSWcRM9u0

  • @artur297 Google Van Canto if you don't know who they are, or look them up on the Metal Archives.

  • Thats just too badass xD

  • Chris´ Voice is awesome but he looks so... Strange, I allways must laugh when I see him...

  • There was also widespread Norsre colonization in the North and Islands, "Nurn" a Scandinavian language, was spoken on Orkney until the late 18th century. Following the Norman invasion there was also Anglo-Norman population of the South and most of the medieval Scottish monarchs from the 11th century onwards were Scots/Anglo/Norman. These include Robert the Bruce and David I among others.

  • Scotland has a big ethnic English make up. The Anglo Saxon Kingdom of Bernicia stretched beyond the Firth of Forth and this South-eastern portion of the country was ruled and populated by the English for hundreds of years. Edinburgh was named after the English King Edwin. Also the south Western Area of Scotland was culturally and linguistically Welsh (Strathclyde-Strath "Clwyd"). The Scots themselves were Irish invaders who displaced the naitve Picts.

  • in my country we got a expretion which goes like this ( there are mens with big dick and there are men like dicks) grave digger and scots warriors are men with big dick !!! whos with me ?

  • Brilliant!

    Anyone know why these guys sing about Scotland so much? Or do they sing about a lot of countries history?

    Just discovered them myself.

  • Comment removed

  • I got into this song when I heard Van Canto's cover. This one is good but I prefer the cover.

  • love the queen effect at 1:35

  • @KINGOFMETAL3592

    idiot

  • @KINGOFMETAL3592 come on! you can't say that!!!!!!!

  • @metalmeltdown9 its actually kinda harder as an A Capella

  • @KINGOFMETAL3592

    Van Canto's version features Chris Bohendahl for Grave Digger (-_-||) so the only difference is the reffrain and A Capella...

    their both awesome!

  • @blacktherion23 yes they are but the vocals also sound better by van canto

  • @KINGOFMETAL3592 get bent nothing can beet the real thing -,- you know not of real music

    You disgust me

  • @MrMarkerSniffer and 27 people agree

  • 10 Scots and a Bagpipe makes a Rebelion

  • I used to think that Grave digger come from Scotland , but when I search they come from Germany ! it amazing in Germany there are Avantasia , Helloween , Scorpions , Grave Digger and a lot of geat bands !

  • @DLidersBand y germans loves rock/metal

  • The Metalheads are marching against gaycore, Grave Digger play the tunes of war, emo-posers death will find, Heavy Metal on my mind!

  • secondo me la più grandiosa formazione dei grave e uno dei più grandiosi album !!!

    grave sempre nel mio cuore e nella mia anima!!!

  • great song

    shit video

  • THIS IS WONDERFULL

  • I like scotland its a beautifull country but i dont HATE eanglish i just dont like them so much

  • Great video and great sound.i know the reason why i play the bagpipe.;-)

  • Power metal is the best genre of metal. It makes me hard.

  • @Joexi but its more heavy metal than power metal

  • There is something primeval about this song, it sings to the Scottish warrior within. And I dont care who you are, when you hear the pipes a callin, It rallies the Soul.

  • @PriestOfFilm

    Just like telling jew to forget about the holocaust

    i aint scotish(if i now say that i am german people gonna call me a nazi so dont)

    but i know that people are always crying about the past infact many germans hate the french though the last real incidence in which G and F actually fought was WW I

  • i like this song and am not scott i am with scotts side against england but thats dont means i hate england :D

  • I've never understood the apparent long-standing feud the Scots have with the English. Sure in the days of Medieval yore; we killed many Scottish to assert dominion of their country. But nowadays? Are we storming Edinburgh and slaughter all who resist? I'm not saying what the English did was justified but it was a different world and generation. Today; we share this island nation peacefully and without incident; so why hold onto old aggressions of long dead people? Anyway; Grave Digger rule hard
