  • why did they kill him?

  • As an old school thrasher, I have to say this is very good cover of the Pantera Classic. Dimebag RIP brother.

  • a7x boys stop come to here and feel like you are cool metalist or something lol

  • i miss mike alexander :( Ive discovered this band since they came to scene, he was a beast on bass

  • Best cover ever!

  • this is an amazing cover!! =D

  • Why is he died?

  • @Nalokin13 he got shoted 5 times in the head on stage

  • @Nalokin13 Shot on stage, even though sad, the most fucking awesome death ever dying while shredding out a solo. \m/

  • BUEN COVER...!!!!

  • why discuss about music...listen if you want,if you dont,then dont,Posers are discusing bout music.

  • And btw, the irony is strong when you zealots call me ignorant.

  • @RtosVadumee Oh do shut up Margret.

  • Guys.. I never said people hate on A7x ONLY because they are famous. But it has much to do with it. They are haten on because of their style, which lies in the borderlines between alternative, hardcore and metal (which we all know is "true-metal-only" zealots' favorite style to hate, next to Nu Metal). Them being popular only makes them a wider target.

    But, I can't force you to like them, many prefer the raw style of purist metal bands more, and I respect that. Peace out, and chill out!

  • So, literally half of the comments (as I'm posting this) are about people talking about how other people shouldn't talk about Avenged Sevenfold....see how that's not helping things? Just thought I'd point out the irony, while being a bit hypocritical myself. Enjoy the music, folks :)

  • Awesome! I love Pantera, and You gentlemen made a perfect cover. Makes me cry. Also check out Sufosia for an amazing Hangar 18 cover.

  • Best reaction on this vid is a reaction about Avenged?!? Why?

    THIS IS EVILE!!!

    Let make this the best reaction, just because it says that EVILE IS THE BEST!

  • Does the title say Avenged Sevenfold? No?

    Then shut up about them and listen to Evile cover some goddamn Pantera.

  • Why can't people just get on with life? I love A7X, but I also love Pantera. I relate if someone has a go at Pantera, because they should be fucking killed, but why divide the group further by arguing back? I'm not immature enough to argue how great Avenged are, because I know it, and that's all that matters. Don't be that guy.

  • Who is Mike? ...

    And what happened to him? ... Oo

  • @DarkEssence17 Mike was Evile's bassist, sadly passed away due to a lung embolism about 2 years ago... :(

  • @DarkEssence17 He was the Bassist for Evile up until his death in Oct, 2009 due to a Pulmonary Embolism(Blood clot in the Lungs).

    PS: Wikipedia is your friend xD

  • Great cover, prolly my favorite of the whole album. I love how they added some sort of vibe in the acoustic parts, great stuff!

    P.s.

    50% of the world thinks all metal-heads are emo-pussies thanks to Avenged, mainstream garbage..

  • Love Pantera Best metal band ever

  • Fuck ax7

  • This is a badass cover, not quite as good as the original but definitely badass

  • Shut up about A7X. They kick ass.

    Evile kicks ass.

    Slayer kicks ass.

    Gama Bomb kicks ass.

    All metal (Or sub-genres of metal) kick ass.

    Except Black Veil Brides.

    They suck.

  • @iwasfredfredburger67 amen brah

  • R.I.P Mike

  • Ol drake is pretty fucking good.

  • Grande Dimebag Darrell grande evile gran cover

  • Who gives a shit?!

    Flawless.

  • good cover, evile are very good. But on the other hand i don´t know any bad metal band from the UK :D.

  • great cover

  • *anybody who argues what is and isn't metal*

  • Anybody who argues what us and is metal is wasting their time. Its become a matter if opinion nowadays. Not a matter of fact. So stop getting pissed off over ignorance and get on with your life

  • are there people arguing and bitching about metal on this song made by pantera and covered by evile a thrash band?

    are you fucking insane

    metal is rebellion and passion for the music you have many genre's of metal but metal is still metal if you dont like it go listen to rap or other mainstream bullshit, if not then listen and enjoy this great cover for fuck sake

  • ok A7X,,, is it me or does there singer just sing wot he wants and the band do what they want??? they shud get a proper singer who actually sings 2 the music

  • Hate to join in on the idiots complaining about music.But I to think A7X is complete shit.

  • A7x's first two albums and some of the new album are metalcore, the rest is hard rock.

  • @XXArmsOfNukesxX

    They still suck no matter what genre they are.

  • a great cover. dime is proud

  • Nice tribute. Try not to separate into tribes. Metal is an expression of individuality, and rebellion.

  • Can people shut about Avenged, regardless of what you think about them this video is Evile playing a Pantera song. There should be no need to discuss how metal they are or in a matter of fact how metal any band is.

  • Evile=Awesome

    Metallica=Awesome

    Megadeth=Awesome

    Anthrax=Awesome

    A7X=Awesone

    .....

    PANTERA == GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING AWESOME....PERIOD.

  • A7X=Great Band

    Slayer=Great Band

    Megadeth=Band

    Evile=Great Band

    this is a music video not a place to come and rant about your dislike for a certain metal band. At the end of the day they're all metal and why would you bother to alienate other metal fans. The small minded people who listen to the other forms of music (not all of them but in my experience they're quick to put metal down) can do that to all of us so lets stick together my metal breathren \m/

  • They kind of failed in that riff with harmonics, but still, this is a great cover.

    RIP Dimebag Darrell. RIP Mike.

  • btw you forgot peter steele from type o-negative on the list he was more metal than layne staley, amazing vocalist dont get me wrong but he was rock not metal

  • @vagneer3 AIC was a metal band that was called grunge because they came out of seattle in the 90's.

  • @Babyface6200 AIC was a grunge, (grungemetal?) band, but not straight metal band.

  • What a Great coer song's !

  • Who in the right mind, dislikes this video?

  • Wow Beautiful

    

  • God damn.

    It's not every day you hear a cover this fuckin' good.

    Fuck.

  • evile brings back the punch in the mouth attitude to thrash

  • Evile is one of the best thrash bands ive seen live. Saw them in plymouth uk last night and blew my mind. Beautiful cover of one my favourite pantera songs. xxx

  • Even though it's a cover, it still gives me shivers like the original!

  • I'm soo pissed that I will never be able to see Pantera in concert. Fuck that murderer. This would be an awsome song to Mosh to

  • don't forget Paul Baloff!!

  • @mortedabizerra you should hear some of ' that guitarists ' solos. not to disrespect dime in any way, but cemetery gates is a walk in the park for ol.

  • Wow this is a great cover. Most bands who try to cover Pantera cant pull it off. Evile and Throwdown are the only ones I have found who can.

  • @77StrayDog they have hardly failed have they...

  • To all gay-thrashers here (that probably believe slayer is the ONLY real metal band around):You're narrow minded fools!Spouting shit about true metal and such and saying bands like a7x are nothing.Thrash metal is awsome indeed and evile and slayer and other bands.But that doesn't mean everything else is shit!Stupid people like you where tossing bottles at SOAD when they came to greece supporting slayer and for that they never came back!When it was raining brains you where holding umbrellas!

  • @Goteiii Yeah there other bands out there but A7X and SOAD suck ass. Plus we know way more bands than just Slayer. Death Angel, Dark Angel, Testament, Overkill, Sepultura, Nuclear Assault, Sodom, Kreator, Flotsam and Jetsam, Annihilator, and Exodus. You should check them out and gout of the radio "metal" bull crap.

  • @brandonlamchops I already know all of the bands you mentioned, have checked most of them out and I like them a lot! I just did not mention them because my previous comment was already too long.However just because of the fact that some bands are more comercially succesful doesn't mean they "suck ass" and are "radio metal".On the other hand I never said thrash metal sucks.I just hate the "thrash-is-the-only-metal" Kerry King-ish bullshit making metalheads sound like narrow minded apes!

  • @Goteiii bro dont troll people like you ruin awesome websites like this, just enjoy the cover

  • @vagneer3 I enjoyed the cover and when I read the comments they were all about how A7x sucks dick, Megadeth are better, A7x is not metal etc etc.So my comment was relative to the rest.No intention to troll.

  • @Goteiii I have nothing about other bands, hell even rap, techno, and other stuff than thrash are good. But Avenged S are like Bieber to metal so...yeah, they suck. And everyone has their opinion so you dont have to be a nazi about it either. Btw i don't like slayer at all.

  • @da44e Ok then you don't belong to the category I mentioned, so what's your problem?And as I have said before, commercial success doesn't mean that a band sucks.If you don't like them that's fine by me.I mentioned a7x in my comment because that's the first example that came to my mind.There are other bands that those slayerhead thrashers hate like SOAD,BFMV,Trivium,Slipknot etc etc. not to mention any and all prog and power metal bands,

  • I met Mike and the rest of the band in Glasgow. Really cool guys. So laid back. I can say I did not have the pleasure of meeting Dimebag. RIP Mike and Dimebag. Both LEGENDS.

  • @77StrayDog i think because their cover is their own version but they didnt go to far and change things. its very true to the original which is awesome

  • The guitar is out of tune lol

  • @Harmonize0000 you are an idiot, they tune LOWER not out of tune and trust me they arent the only band to do it

  • @waylonbloodskull666 Thanks for the kind comment. Going from your juvenile nickname on here I will wager that I've been playing guitar longer than you've been alive. If I'm going to start getting anal about this, its the B string and its just slightly flat but it stands out like a sore thumb, especially in the arpeggio intro.

  • @waylonbloodskull666 Oh, and this is recorded in standard btw. 

  • RIP LANE STALEY(1967-2002)

    RIP DIO(1942-2010)

    RIP DIME(1966-2004)

    RIP CLIFF(1962-1986)

    RIP MIKE STARR(1966-2011)

    RIP MIKE ALEXANDER(1977-2009)

    RIP RANDY(1956-1982)

    RIP CHUCK(1967-2001)

    METAL LEGENDS FOREVER \m/-_-\m/

  • @Babyface6200 Could you fit Jani Lane somewhere in there? He passed away two months ago. I know he mostly played glam, but he was a great singer.

  • @Babyface6200 Don't forget Gar! Peace Sells and Killing is my business drummer

  • @disturbedbass49 I FORGOT GAR LOL

  • @Babyface6200 LOLOLOL i was asking for that

  • @Babyface6200 forgot king crosby <3 rip big guy

  • @Babyface6200 \m/\m/

  • @Babyface6200 R.I.P Gary moore (4 April 1952[1] – 6 February 2011)

    R.I.P Cozy Powell (29 December 1947 – 5 April 1998)

  • @Babyface6200 R.I.P. The REV.

  • @iwasfredfredburger67 the rev wasn't in a metal band

  • @Babyface6200 Than what would you consider Avenged Sevenfold?

    Keep in mind I'm wearing a Megadeth Tee while typing this, so I don't like just one type of metal.

  • @iwasfredfredburger67 alternative rock

  • @Babyface6200 Well it all depends on opinion.

    I still think the Rev would've been a talented enough drummer to at least list on there.

  • @iwasfredfredburger67 its metal of course

  • @Babyface6200 Don't forget Peter Steele of Type O Negative.

  • @Babyface6200 I'm sad to add to your list Cody Smoot guitarist from GWAR...

  • @happymudvayne1 i just heard about it and i saw them two months ago

  • @Babyface6200

    You forgot, Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan. D:

  • @mcr4eva645 the rev is not in a metal band

  • @Babyface6200

    Technically he was, Avenged are classed as Heavy Metal.

  • @mcr4eva645 NOT REALLY. A7X IS METALCORE. WHICH ISN'T METAL.

  • @Babyface6200

    They aren't Metalcore. xD

  • @mcr4eva645 A7X is metalcore boy band. Their are not heavy what so ever. Name one song that sounds heavy.

  • @Babyface6200 Not Ready to Die, Nightmare, Unholy Confessions, Welcome to the Family, and Second Heartbeat. Need more?

  • @iwasfredfredburger67 A7X is poop, especially the newer crap

  • @Babyface6200 An Epic of Time Wasted

  • @Babyface6200 Want more???? just ask motherfucker

  • @KarKid666 You must be that kid that puts 666 in his name just to make yourself seem hardcore but in reality you're a pussy that listens to A7X and Slipknot.

  • @Babyface6200 actualy no, i listen to Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Paths of Possession, etc and i'm not a kid.

  • @KarKid666 then what are you fighting about?

  • @Babyface6200 i don't know.... sorry, let's shake hands then! you love metal so do i. end of story

  • Comment removed

  • @Babyface6200 Their first 2 albums are decent. Bat Country is Bat Crappy though, no doubt

  • @Elir333 100% right

  • @Babyface6200 The Art of Subconscious Illusion?

  • @Babyface6200 I'm not real big into A7X either, but Critical Acclaim is a pretty fun song to play. As for Evile and Pantera, I must say that I honestly like this version a lot more than the original. I've known how to play the original for a while now, but I just heard this version and loved it. I'm liking Matt's vocals more than Phil's in this song. I tried to play along to this version, come to find out that it's half a step lower than the original, which I really like.

  • @kittenswithketchup Are you f kidding me. Phills voice is just .. godlike! But hey you can have your opinion ! :D

  • @Babyface6200 Like josh999x said; no need to bitch on other bands that are completely unrelated to this song, but bein an A7x fanboy, I must object. Only their two first albums are metalcore, the newer are a mix of classical heavy metal, alernative and groove metal. Everyone hates them because they are famous.. They are famous because of amazing songwriting. It's more mainstream to hate A7x, than actually liking the band themselves. Fanboy opinion stated.

    Anyfuck, amazing cover by Evile!!

  • @RtosVadumee iron maiden is famous, no one is hating on them, what about sylosis, machine head, death, and many more good bands, they are famous but they dont have a fraction of the haters a7x has....

    think about that, why do other famous bands have less haters?

    tells you how "good; you are if youre famous...

    if you still dont get it, fame has nothing to do with talent.

    there are a lot more 16 year old girls wanting to hear a boy band then 25 year old metal heads wanting to hear good music.

  • @RtosVadumee i hate it when clueless fanboys use the crutch of an argument that people are hating just because of "famous" or "jealousy". it just goes to show that they are ignorant of the real reason why everyone is hating on them

  • @Babyface6200 god hates us and who cares if there not that heavy evile and a7x are both great

  • @Babyface6200 *facepalm*

  • @mcr4eva645 No they're not. My rule is that if its not on metal-archives, its not metal.

  • @Babyface6200 - you forgot John Bonham, 1948-1980...

  • @Babyface6200 You forgot QUORTHON(1966-2004). 2004 sucked for metal :/

  • @Coroner3089033 ive forgot about the black metalheads who died

  • @77StrayDog a7x fails so hard on walk

  • Such a sweet fucking cover.

    R.I.P Michael Alexander and Dimebag Darrell.

  • @77StrayDog maybe thats because bands who try to cover pantera dont know what true metal is. Evile is Thrash, and thats why they were so sucessfull in this cover.

  • can we forget Avenge for a while...cuz i trying to listen

  • @77StrayDog Machine Head's Fucking Hostile, from this same album is pretty good too

  • This= Awesome

    Karmablade= The new hope for Metal

  • An amazing cover of a great song, and I'm pretty picky about covers, especially ones involving my favorite bands. Ol has come the closest to nailing one of Dime's solos, damned good work. Who knew Matt could sing like that though? Fuck I love Evile, I can hardly wait for Five Serpent's Teeth.

    R.I.P. Dime and Mike, I don't believe in that heaven bullshit, it's cruel to know we'll never see ether one live again, or hear new shit from them.

  • Dream Theater did a great cover too.. but mustaine just went to screw it :/

  • hey....Dave Mustaine...Ol got the solo down!

  • good cover (y)

  • @77StrayDog Another alright one is A7X's cover of Walk.

  • @77StrayDog 5fdp has a good new level cover

  • @ManlyMcManlyMan trust me i know. but your comment is the very reason i posted it. but it does piss me off when someone tells me bands like Suicide Silence, Escape the fate, Bring Me the Horizon and shit like that is metal but Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth are washed up classic rock.

  • @Jcwnero i think Suicide Silence is good, i just hate most of the fans, but im not one of those younger metalheads that completely disrespects the old bands. I fucking love Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Kreator, Testament, Judas Priest, Maiden, Sabbath. I love all metal man. All the fighting over genres is fucking stupid. But i will admit that BFMV and BMTH are fucking terrible

  • Why do people come to videos and diss on musicians that are great in their own ways? obviously since you are on here putting them down you cant do any better. so why don't you all just shut up and enjoy the music.compareing Cliff Burton to Paul Grey is retarded both were good people and great bassists..music is about art..not who is better than the other.and seeing "Metal Heads" that say Suicide Silence is more metal than BMFV...it is pointless. grow up and shut up enjoy the music.

  • PAUL GRAY IS POSER

  • I just need to say this! Why darrell? there was more members, I don´t say that they should die BUT! there are lots of drummers, bassists etc. But there will always be just one Darrell! :(

  • very good cover

  • cliff burton, mike alexander, paul gray, dio, dimebag, chuck schuldiner and the rev are playing one hell of a show in the sky right now. see you soon brothers! \m/

  • @SpawnedInShadows

    Replace the Rev with Gar Samuelson and just get rid of Paul Gray.

  • @MetaI4Brains so true!

  • @AdamDK

    You're a fan of Avenged Sevenfold and you don't mind me talking shit about the Rev?

  • @MetaI4Brains Nope, because I prefer Megadeth (and thrash metal in general) to A7x and their music. Gar is 10x better than the rev!

  • @AdamDK yeah thats what im talking dude

  • @AdamDK hell yeahh

  • @AdamDK fuck yeah

  • @AdamDK Gar fuckin' Samuelson, R.I.P! Fuck A7X and all of the other fake metal shit.

  • @LanciaTurbo What you call "Fake metal" is just a style you're not used to.

    Maybe you should get a wider range of music.

    A7X FoREVer.

  • @MetaI4Brains paul gray??? cliff burton is better

  • @rapcoremanx

    I know, that's why I said to get rid of Paul.

  • @SpawnedInShadows you forgot randy rhoads

  • A tribut to a legend (Dimebag) and a legend to be (Mike)......... Long Live Metal \m/,

  • great cover.

  • It was hard to tell that this is a cover and not the original

  • Also can I say this cover is amazing. Maybe I'm just burnt out on the original but I really love this one.

  • evile did such an amazing job with this pantera cover! if dimebag were to hear this, he would most certainly be proud!

  • Very well done! I am impressed though this is slightly more grabbing than the original, this was done without changing too much of the original settings. In the long run, Evile will in time take their place among the legendary Thrashers that forged the trail before them all while forging their own path.

  • This band is so amazing playing this cover, :)

  • I've met and partied with DIMEBAG regret I never met MIKE.TRULY great video.Hit home DIMEBAG with wings and halo,no doubt they met up and are still blowing MINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! R.I.P. NEVER FORGOT

  • When the fuck are metal fans on youtube going to stop bitching at each other 24/7 shut the fuck up and just enjoy the music? Now more than ever we need to be united and yet most of you are bitching at each other like 4 year olds and old women grow the fuck up already its pathetic

  • @antitroll890 Only the guys on the internet do this shit... the people who are actually going to the shows never actually do any of this. Really, the internet brings out the worst in people from time to time.

  • 4 people dont know what good music is...

  • Excellent.

  • @ 5:30...Mike wearin a Down shirt...just gives me one more reason to appreciate him even though he's gone.

  • and the best song to listen to (after this one) is "we who are about o die", of course by evile.

  • I think I like this better than the original. This is just gorgeous. Love it.
