Pat Boone - Holy Diver (cover)

[mannyukmalta]

i dont know whats was the fuss about doing metal songs.i like it and i will still listen to any of his songs,i became one of his fans when he started 1954 i was then 7 years old,im 64 years old now and im still a great fan of Pat Boone.it show that Pat Boone can sing any type of songs, ballads,rock and roll,country ,hymms ,love songs, etc.what kind of songs he does he stlill be the same person a good person.good luck pat boone and may god be with you.

[TheMarumellow]

Pat Boone is a damn good troll...

[DeeJayHey]

lol , what else could i say?

[juro100]

This makes me laugh, nice parody haha

[petergriffin289]

wtf

[turag666]

THIS IS SIMPLY EPIC!!!!

[blackoutcoc]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!

[H057IL3]

Love metal, love big band. Awesome cover.

[TheDarkLordEthan]

this is fucking hilarious

[WeirdAl45231]

I wonder what metalheads and their anti-metal parents thought baout this when it premeired...

[fbendz]

@WeirdAl45231 Most metalheads said WTF!? and the Christian Right burned his records and promised to never listen to him again. As for myself, I appreciate the effort though I don't like this kind of music. It took a lot of courage for Pat Boone to record this record and he deserves creds for it.

[aitchfourex]

They need to put this song in the next Fallout.

[PictishPrince]

Blasphemy!

[beroth77]

I'm a huge Dio fan and to be honest i like it! lol.But pat's voice could be better ...the band and the arrandement are awesome in my opinion

[KlownWolf]

much better than killswitch's one

[OwnageVids10]

@KlownWolf How in any shape or form is this better than Killswitch engage's version its shit and there's actually some heavy metal in Killswitch's version lol

[NIKKGAGE1994]

@OwnageVids10 because pat boone is more metal than killswitch engage

killswitch are a bunch of posers

[ILuvIbanezGuitars]

@OwnageVids10 this wasn't even intended to be metal. it's brilliantly done to be so different sounding yet still so good

[Strindom]

@OwnageVids10 Because pat's being creative about it, which defines the genious behind a cover. Killswitch engage added, what, 2 notes to the main riff? And a lame harmonic? Then tossed it out to make a fuckload of money off of it. Now, there are little kids thinking that they made that song. Copycats. This, is an entirely different genre. He had to CHANGE it, and WORK with it to make it work. Killswitch looked up Dio tabs on the internet. That's why this version's better.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@OwnageVids10 This turned a Heavy Metal song into something different.

Killswitch just turned it into a mediocre Metalcore song. No surprise, though. Since Killswitch is just mediocre Metalcore.

[noobn00bnoob]

i swear that dio does nothing except hit a guy with a sword in this video

[demos182]

Better or worse than killswitch's cover? Discuss

[kfirthez]

most lame cover i've ever heard so far.

[KISSARMYHQ]

it's funny

[contact1araya]

DIO LIVES ON!!!!

[LadyEvyl]

From what I've gathered, Ronnie thought this was hysterically funny. He totally understood what a high compliment this was and how people would probably crap themselves over PAT BOONE doing "devil's music" lol. I remember seeing Pat on tv for this, in that black leather outfit. It helps if you were raised with a warped sense of humor btw. I listened to LOTS of parody music.

[soyelreydelglam]

Horrible, terribly disgusting,

[nemtall]

love it .

[Taters153]

I wonder what D&D class Dio rolled as.

[JerkFaceVocals]

@Taters153 Bard or Sorcerer. Can't realy see him as a fighter, cleric, or barbarian, so has to be a magic using class.

[LoveMetalForever100]

This must be removed immediately! Pat Boone has no business in the metal world except to dive straight to hell for this and other worthless covers he has done. I hope Ronnie is not turning over in his grave.

[Tomurow]

@LoveMetalForever100 Ronnie did the backing vocals on this very track... :-\

[LoveMetalForever100]

@Tomurow was not aware, but still does not alter my opinion of Boone covering rock tunes.

[Vampireboy1313]

This is funny! xD

But Ronnie is still the King! Our Man on the Silver Mountain!

May he Rest In Peace, Requiescat In Pace!

Your music will live on!

[Muwksz]

wtf? O_O

[swankrecords]

muff diver

[kfirthez]

Oh wow, excuse me but the dude simply destroyed the song.

One of the best metal songs and he made it to a walking joke,.

Im disappointed.

[detinha46]

Este vídeo é horroroso! A música também é péssima, será que tem a ver com Pat Boone? Onde está o belo estilo de música do cantor?

[detinha46]

Que vídeo horroroso! Que péssimo gosto!

[detinha46]

Que vídeo horroroso! Não sei se isso é qualidade de música!

[detinha46]

Que vídeo horroroso, nada tem a ver com Pat Boone, não é seu estilo!

[vegasshowgirlshoes]

Pat smoked this tune

Big band in a heavy metal genre

I am more than impressed

He did a fantastic job , he took metal tunes and

made them sound 40s and 50s believable

Give him credit , this is what musical genius is all about

[sinistar99]

@vegasshowgirlshoes That's almost a haiku!

[HerrExecoot]

Uh, Dio sang backup vocals on this song, so stop crying.

[devil1hunter]

I actually enjoyed all the songs on this album. A couple of things that everyone should do before listening to it though. First, listen to a couple of his origional songs. Ain`t That A Shame, I`ll Be Home, Love Letters In The Sand all come to mind. Then try to forget what the origional sounded like. Just set back and enjoy some great music.

[improv70]

Very Good !!!

[bcushing]

BRILLIANT!!!

[powerslave887]

omg this is like big band meets heavy metal :)) awesome

[JackBlair2]

The band arrangement is great.

[banboozlah]

lol

[LnBguitars]

well thats crap



[12thSTARvideo]

Cheers to Pat RIP Dio

[MrKickyourbutt]

It's like Richard Cheese, except serious.

[MalibuCornelius]

At least get the grocery stores (Albertsons, Vons, Ralphs, Stater Bros) to play this freaking version. Incidentally everytime I go in there I just want to scream out loud the realistic version of what phony garbage I hear. It sucks so bad I need ear muffs

[northerntao]

Great to see that Dio had such a great sense of humor - even if the cover is truly retched.

[fartbrothers123]

hey Pat Boone, is that the sound of my ears vomiting? You are a discrace to Ronnie James Dio.

[94Stevieb]

i loved dio and am a bit sad even more than most cos i "found" dio and got enlightened and 5 days later he passed away....love

[nomadplanet2010]

the hell with all of you hes my fucking uncle and you wouldnt want to know him ---ronnie dio on the other hand would be a serious amazing meet if he stilled lived ----fuck you pat----wade says hey asshole ------REST IN PEACE RONNIE JAMES DIO !!!\m/;;\m/!!!

[fartbrothers123]

@nomadplanet2010 who is your uncle?

[fartbrothers123]

@nomadplanet2010 oh is it Pat Boone? he makes my ears vomit becuase he ruined this song

[nomadplanet2010]

@fartbrothers123 yeah brother he is man --hes a fucking dildo besides the fact that he raped a metal gods tune ----i think he wanted to mock it anyway cause he is a bullshit easily manipulated non-thinking christian ---i wouldnt give you 2 pennies for the man

[bongobingoaz]

@nomadplanet2010 Pat Boone wasnt' mocking Ronnie James Dio. In fact, Ronnie and Pat Boone hung out in the studio while he was recording this tune, and I think Dio even added a few back up vocals for him. Pat Boone caught a lot of flack from those TV christians on TBN over making this album, but he stuck by it anyway.

[METALISTHELAW9]

@bongobingoaz pat has always played the dual role - he is christian in name only - my uncle left my kids for dead when they needed him - my uncle pat is a liar and a fence rider - fame and fortune are his god - i know him personally - its not my anger speaking when i say im calling out a traitor to his own family

[H057IL3]

RIP Dio, I hope he's up there laughing along. This is a great jazz cover, clearly.

[mojoaman88]

Pat Boone= Hypocrite

[Kingdelfrong]

sound like rocky song cool!!!

[juanypei]

this should be the theme song of an anime

[KalikAP01]

Haha, it sounds like the intro to an 80's action cartoon! Awesomeness!

[revelation1965]

I like it - it's different and crazy it keeps the melody of song with a twist,

I am a long time DIO fan and I am sure DIO is smiling with this 

[bagheadbaby]

WHAT THE FUCK...

[BradBallanger]

The only song by KSE I like is this cover. The rest is banal garbage. Like, they have no fucking talent. Just another metalcore faggot group.

RIP Dio.

[Seph1231]

@BradBallanger HEY YOU SON OF A BITCH SHUT THE FUCK UP BECAUSE KSE ROX AND YOU ARE A FUCKING FAGGOT METALCORE IS FOR MANS NOT FOR LADYS LIKE YOU MOTHER FUCKER MAYBE YOUR MOTHER DONT LOVE YOU BECAUSE U ARE A LITTLE FAGGOT!

[BradBallanger]

@Seph1231 Wrong. Metalcore is for sad little kids. And you just proved yourself to be one.

Enjoy your job at Wallmart.

[Seph1231]

@BradBallanger in your dreams haha you are a stupid man

[ampc123]

I hope you all realize that Dio is actually singing on this song... just thought I'd fill you all in...

[MrLemonyFresh]

oh god, why is dio dead while this man still lives on?

[MrLemonyFresh]

I loled when I heard "holi diveer" ....

Oh god, the poor metal :( he tried to release swing and jazz onto it.

This man is a monster...

[nachozman7]

@MrLemonyFresh lol :)

[irrmua]

dio sings back up in this cover

[deciothomas]

better thans KSE? don´t think so

[MikeMMasuda]

Dio sings backup vocals on this tune too! Did you know Dio used to play trumpet in high school and sing doo wop? This is far cry from those early days...

[Hotora86]

@MikeMMasuda I know! I have those recordings! They're SWEET! :D

[GdawgSteppin]

RIP RJD. Your music will forver live on

[gullywoots]

fun way to remember the king of rock n roll

[MagnumTGundraw]

Jazz renditions make me want to dutch rudder a fat man.

[beastie666]

RIP Ronnie.

[romxxii]

hey, it still kickass! It wasn't totally wussified like the Enter Sandman cover!

[forestdad]

[ziherr]

[ziherr]

[NinjaGranny3000]

[xisco95]

Holy diver? Holy Shit!

[GuiltlessGear]

@muse767 I know this bad I just sarcastic what preposition

[TheGreatCorneliuski]

[waylo4526]

[TapemanVIII]

[xdeadlydesirex]

This is so shit lol

[KaiForce]

[oldpreach]

SHINY DIAMONDS !!! Pat Boone  + Trumpet solo FTW !!!

[OTKxDUELiST]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Amil212]

"dio"** sorry, made a typo there...

[Amil212]

did you know that sio actually sings backing vocals in this cover? :o

[derpdederp101]

fucking terrible but also hilarious pat boone sucks

[FreakinSweet86]

What's Next, The Rat Pack's rendition of King Diamond classic lol

[vegasshowgirlshoes]

These songs have the backing of the original artists because they realize what Boone is doing, he is transforming these into parodies of 40s and 50s big band sounds , And he did a remarkable job of it.

[whitefish1234]

My heart goes out to Ronnie James and his battle with stomach cancer, may the hardest working man in rock play on once again.

P.S. Pat Boone did a great job

[pisswizard]

@whitefish1234 I hope he gets better!

[BridgeTrollDavis]

@pisswizard It's too late for hoping :( he died May 16th 2010.

[pisswizard]

@BridgeTrollDavis I KNOW! FUNNY JOKE!

[TheIronDemon666]

@whitefish1234 Too late... he died May 16th 2010 :\ May he play in Heaven.

[LocoRico89]

To the people who hate this. Well, so much for trying to get you into Richard Cheese! This is funny as hell!

[capletkid]

fuck this shit aaaaahahahahaha s

[CrawfishBandit]

Good God man way to butcher a Dio song

[stephendedaelus]

pat boone can't do swing or metal but this is still hilarious and amazing

[VegimightSamich]

well said sir

[TRambo55]

Dio even sings backup :)

[GuiltlessGear]

Better than the Killswitch cover.

[derrick00000]

@GuiltlessGear Who ever believes that this cover is better then the Killswitch cover is a worthless pathetic cock sucking homo that touch themselves at night!!! Killswitch totally killed this song 100% and Pat Boone will NEVER match up to how great it sounded with Killswitch!!!

[GuiltlessGear]

@derrick00000 Well I have to agree with you on one thing; they did kill this song.

[Sirocco97]

@derrick00000 mate.you may be a bit to young too know who pat boone was .your lucky there .but he was the goody goody answer to elvis and chuck berry in the 1950 early 60s .having him sing this is a parody .a joke .i like the killswitch engage version,my son got me into it ,just as i got him into the origional by dio

[Bartuccio3]

@derrick00000 Somebody sure sounds like one angsty emo kid.

[derrick00000]

@Bartuccio3 Somebody sure sounds like they should shut the fuck up

[Bartuccio3]

@derrick00000 Your retort was so creative. I've not a trite,euphemistic, derogatory remark left to counter it. As they say here in the interweb, "a winner is you."

[ptitgro2]

@GuiltlessGear in your dream

[barrett000007]

@GuiltlessGear Definitely not, this guy should've stayed within the 50's Soft Rock genre.

[6holydiver9]

hahaha amazing song.

Funniest cover ever.

[quornholio]

I love Dio and I love this too! You guys don't understand the Lounge sound? This is big band bop at its best.  Thank you Pat!

[ramjet1962]

And Dio has been my favorite singer from back in the days of rainbow. I feel sorry for Pat boone HOLY SHIT should be the name of this song not Holy Diver. LOL.

[ramjet1962]

Funny when they lip sync dios woice with his. God I have no idea but I will probably NEVER watch this shit again.

[nachorompecorazones]

suena bien pero lo hace mejor dio

[jbezzina]

The worst metal video ever has hit a new low

[maofas]

On one hand, this is painful as hell to listen to, but it's HILARIOUS. I'm glad he made this album.

Also, this is significantly less ghey (like 27%) than his Crazy Train cover, ergo Dio > Ozzy.

[myersfreak]

lol....this is so fucking funny lol....it would be if my grandpa sung the damn thing!!!

[4greatlulz]

This sounds so gay...

[mendress9]

So, Ronnie must approve because he's doing the background vocals! Listen at 2:44 and esp. 3:13 and the end at 3:22

[linktronics]

You bumped your head thats not anything close to Dio in the background!

[larry1955]

You people just don't get it.

Pat took these songs and made them into parodies of 40s and 50s styles , And he did a fantastic job with them , The band is also first rate . Geeze get half a clue and take it for what it is.

And yes , it is unique , classic and a work of real art .

[LivingHumanoidInterf]

oh god what the fuck

[fernwood]

^^^^^^^^^ What he said.

[TyrantGoat]

I hope you all realize Pat Boone has balls making these covers and releasing a whole cd of them.

He has good taste in metal too! o.o

Whoda thought?

[fusoya1]

Yes, but that still doesn't make them any less gay.

[Dacfu]

This made me laugh so fucking much

[lrb662003]

HAHAHAHAHA

[darklordbaf]

LAWLZ! xD

[robvd3]

what the hell is that

[marturion1]

I never thought a day would come when I would hear a Dio song on an elevator.

[Drew927]

LMFAO HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

[aranveda]

ha ha...sfantastike......

[Doomofdoom146]

Haha, this guy needs to give KSE a lesson in covering music

[mykissesrocku]

This is toooooo funny!

[miniandrewmini1]

umm..... WTF!!!!

[Roadskare62]

Its alright

[drrock100]

this is probably the most fantastic thing i've ever heard, with the exception of the original

[Hunkola]

This sounds better than Dio's version.......

[illusionfreak]

Blasphemy!!!!!!!

[Cheetahcabra]

This is just... awesome.

[soccerprog226]

"This song is about Satan, and his descent to Hell (his "dive"). The lyrics deal specifically with Revelations 12:9 where Satan was cast to the earth. The tiger is symbolic of the wild beast that comes out of the sea, as mentioned in Revelations 13:1."

[yourlord13]

wow you need that evil thing called PUSSY. and have it attack your privates and you will think of this song in this scat band with a smile on your face.

[soccerprog226]

i was quoting >.>

[goingtobarockstar]

thats funnier than hell!!!!

[geldofpunk]

Blasphemy.

[henricopp]

ROFL-tastic XD

[AngryFilipinaWoman32]

You go daddy-o

[Archibugiere]

Dio non ti perdnerà mai per questo !!!

[kangthemetalhead]

OH GOD, this is unbelievable. just unbelievable, HAHAHAHAHA

[thrashmetalkills]

HAHAHA awesome idea putting in with the original music video!!!

[DrPhrenology]

This is wrong on so many levels. . .

[derangedband]

[gunstar9]

so much better than the Killswitch version

[AlbertMondback]

Win.

[omniken66]

Please someoe put a noose around my head.......This is worse then having a plastic bag over your head......man I'm actually sick to my stomach....
