  • Just watched this because of fear 3 ahaha

  • this dude needs to grow up, not wear his hair like he's 16, try to sing like he's 16, and leave Danzig songs alone...

  • They killed it.

  • emo lookin grampa

    i've seen it all now...

  • @Xx74962408651xX hes only 31 dude not that old

  • Stephen Chrsitian's vocals are pristine. and Joseph Milligan is a genius on guitar. You can only laugh when someone talks crap about this cover- or Anberlin...

  • DAMN this cover kicks ASS.

  • lmao @3:18

  • They Should stick to Original Songs....

  • (Posted by Youtube Stream for iPhone (yst.me) on behalf of chumbawambastic at twitter)

  • this is crap, wish they die soon

  • @jomermac42 Disgusting.

  • I thought this was great, amazing talent and a different approach to the song

  • anberlin sucks :)-~

  • @atomicfriendo <-- No taste in music

  • @MrWesford anberlin sucks :)-~

  • why would a Christian band promote an evil Danzig band,another compromising band,they lost me as a fan

  • @MrArtist7

    Just because the band who wrote this song hated god, it doesnt mean the SONG is about hating god. The message of the song is how parents shelter their children from the realities of life and teach them how to have a closed mind. Which clearly your parents did all too well.

  • @MrArtist7 im not sure i understand why you're suddenly not a fan...i've never listened to any of Danzig, but if you listen to the words of this song, its not as if its evil or anything. i think you're overreacting a bit there.

  • honestly, does it really make a diffrence whether or not the band is Christian? if you don't like they're music, fine- dont like them. but if you're gonna hold it against them because they have a religion, then you're being a douche. if they're proud enough and confident enough to try to share their joy and faith with others, how could that irritate you? they're not shoving it down your throat, so have some tolerance and grow up.

  • Sounds like Shit.

    Danzig is more and more BETTER.

    Oh YEAH

  • Since they aint a Chistina Band then they are an alternative band with Christian views this is why they were on a Christian tv channel talking about their faith and how it influences their music much like Switchfoot or Creed. It was an okay song but I would much rather Glen Danzig do his own acoustic version of Mother. What next is The Script going to do an acoustic version of Fade To Black by Metallica lol

  • Damn, these old faggots make such shame on an epic Danzig song. Puking all the way through this. Fuck this shit

  • gaaaaay!!!

  • I love that this Christian Band is covering Danzig... Ahahahahahaha!

    p.s. Danzig version is WAAAAAY better... \m/ \m/

  • @velvetspidey this is not a christian band....-.- im getting real tired of ppl saying that....im going to turtle slap you all!!!haha jk

  • Comment removed

  • that hair definitely doesnt fix on that old face..sorry :(

    but he still sings good ;)

  • Even if Danzig made this song great, this doesn't sound bad at all. Maybe a little faster would be better ('cause sounds almost like a ballad)

  • to be honest i really don't like this band for many of my own reasons but I love this cover. They did a real good job. fantastic at that for one main reason. They followed the best rule of covering a song... Make it your own =) great job Anberlin

  • This is straight up terrible!

  • i think this is great! great vocals...

  • What. The. Fuck. 

  • anberlin sucks :)-~

  • @atomicfriendo u are crazy!

  • @bsceplover4life crazy like a fox!...anberlin sucks :)-~

  • omg.. danzig got raped o.O

  • ¡¡¡¡¡sǝǝǝǝɥɔʇıq uʍop ǝpısdn ǝdʎʇ uɐɔ ı ɐɥɐɥ

  • So they castrated the original and shit out this? Nice guys.... Smfh...

  • @Turok676 the point of a cover is to make it your own, if you don't like it don't comment. I could say alot about how terrible the original was but i won't because it's a matter of taste. To me and many others this cover is enjoyable. Grow up.

  • @Saintoflostcauses72 sure thanx for giving me the definition of what a cover is as if i didnt know. how could the original be terrible and this better? this just sounds like shit to me because yeah its a cover but it was a lame ass attempt at making something different. grow up and voice your own opinion and learn to take other's opinions.

  • @Turok676 Hmmm... I dunno because Stephen doesn't sound like an emo wannabe Elvis Presley? Anyone could "sing" like danzig but to "copy" Stephen's vocal range and style is a feat in and of itself. Danzig isn't a singer, my 14 year old brother is a better singer than him. But I guess that's a matter of opinion. I don't know how it could be a "lame ass" attempt if it is in fact, very different from the original. coming on youtube just to say how terrible something is is childish.

  • @Turok676 If you don't like it, cool. But you don't see me logging on and going to Danzig's version and saying "aww man this sucks bawlzz, Anberlin is so much better". I mean at least Anberlin did a tribute to Danzig. I'm pretty sure Danzig himself likes it if he gave them the rights to make a studio cover.

  • @Saintoflostcauses72 for all i know you could have done that and i wouldnt give a shit if you did. and Danzig could like something and then change his mind about it a minute later. he did that with Metallica covering die die and then when he played with Doyle he said something bout them butchering the shit outta it. so it doesnt matter

  • fuck kill me now worse than chinese water torture

  • God this is so moving... such an emotional cover, bless their souls.

  • Damn, the original version was powerful, but this blows it out of the water with his voice!

  • Pretty cool... kinda freaked out by the 40 y/o dude with the justin bieber hair and nostril piercing though

  • @megatron515 justin bieber hair? really? not even close.

  • @2tYlerfAilure7 Sorry.. not a hair expert

  • How old is the lead singer? He looks like he's about 60 trying to look like he's 25 again. PLEASE....don't get me wrong...I LOVE Anberlin...they are like my favorite band ever!! I was just curious for shits and giggles.

  • @5pointechik He's 31

  • @Saintoflostcauses72 He's 31 today! or yesterday. depending on what part of the world you are! Happy Birthday Stephen!!!!!!

  • Not bad, but where is the anger that this song is meant to have?

  • Yikes, this doesn't sound right at all.

  • The "Mother" Danzig was writing about was actually Tipper Gore- this song was his "Screw You" to her for the whole PMRC mess and all the push for selective censorship of music in the 80s and early 90s (they selectively targeted hard rock and heavy metal, but left over sexualized pop music alone... hmmm). Listen to the lyrics with that in mind... and you'll get the idea that Danzig can be a very angry guy, as if you didn't know that already.

  • Love the song, Love the band.

    But I think they didn't mix well.

  • this song was born to be acoustic

  • not bad , not good.... leave it up to Danzig

  • look the guy can sing emo stuff but mother is not emo. I highly doubt it glen danzig plan for this to happen ahahahahaha

  • anberlin sucks :)-~

  • What the fuck is this? Danzig would kill them all if it wasn't against the law.

  • @DJdgiaPRESENTS If Danzig wasn't busy getting his ass kicked all the time then probably.

  • @Kroush7 LOL. I know he has gotten his ass handed to him, but this guy is a joke. How do I know:

    (1) Cliche "pop" vocal cover. (obviously ruins the song)

    (2) What the fuck is up with his hair? It's as if he is wearing roadkill on his head.

    (3) Anberlin, like many other bands, have sold their souls for money.

    (4) Danzig is a genius. (check out his classical music)

    (5) Danzig = frontman of Misfits (when they were good) = amazing band.

    That about sums up why this cover sucks.

  • @DJdgiaPRESENTS Seems to me like you just listed a bunch of reason why you don't like this band and why you like Danzig. No where in there did you actually talk about the merits of this cover or the re-done structure.

  • @Kroush7 Thank you Sir Kroush, for decoding the hidden message within my previous statement. Oh Krouse the Wise, thank you for decoding such truths. I do hate Anberlin. But I don't think anyone picked that up until you, oh wise one, were able to decode my previous statement and let everyone know how I truly feel. Oh Wise one. Where have you been all this time?

  • @DJdgiaPRESENTS @Kroush7 Oh you know just hanging out on the interwebs laughing at people.

  • @Kroush7 Lol DJ be trollin'. Danzig was great and this cover was good. He's basing his opinion on looks and what he thinks is "pop" and how Danzig is a genius. He may have been a genius and I may not like this guys hair, but he didn't say why it was bad. If this is a cliche pop cover to you, DJ, you are mistaken. I also don't see how being successful and continuing to make good music is "selling your soul". That and what DJ said last made me laugh. U sew phunee!

  • @gmanspooky Lawl I figured as much. He's just silly and stuff.

  • @Kroush7 or too busy buying cat food and kitty litter.

  • @richardsucksx Lawl. Truth.

  • this is way better then danzig

  • Didn't really like this. Vocally it was alright. If they maybe had a Cello or Violin to accompany the music, it would sound amazing. Just sayin'.

  • this is good

  • He looks too old for his haircut

  • @Aredwinter29 too old for a mullet? doesn't make sense to me!

  • @Aredwinter29 ...really? THAT'S a top comment? Come on, people. Jesus.

  • original's 10 times better

  • Anberlin sucks 

  • Trolls, you will be judged by a higher power for your EVIL ACTIONS! That's right, the bear police will kill you all.

  • @valiumobsequy What the fuck is wrong with you.

  • anberlin sucks :)-~

  • @atomicfriendo wtf do u do all the fucking day man????????get a fucking life......I've seen ur name at every anberlin song and everyone hates u man....how the fuck can u say anberlin sucks?????????

  • @GreenLord100 anberlin sucks :)-~

  • Effing love it!!! Best cover of the song ever.

  • haci siktin attin guzelim sarkiyi ha.

  • Why would you cover Danzig?!

  • @jesusfresus why wouldn't u cover Danzig?

  • @AgainstAllOdds09 Because I am a christian. Here is a statement from Wikipedia. Danzig has voiced his approval of certain Satanic ideologies including the quests for knowledge and individual freedom. In the Bible God points out that christians should not fellowship with darkness.

  • @jesusfresus why are you listening to his music than? That's great you're a christian, but that doesn't make you any better than anyone else. Don't put down Danzig for what he believes because that's a very unchristian thing to do.

  • @jesusfresus Danzig rules! =)=)=)=)

  • @jesusfresus >Taking Wikipedia as a reliable source.

  • @jesusfresus if u dont fellowship with darkness why would u listen to a song created by your so called "darkness"? you just went against everything you just preached? cover or not its created by the same person? therefor you just did fellowship with darkness, so what happens now? will god send you to hell? no he wont... so enjoy the art work of music and live free... u can love god and live free.

  • @CAWproductions24 This is where I stop replying. 

  • @jesusfresus sorry if i upset you i was only giving my views on it, we all have different views im just happy to see you do have love and respect for god, and his son. i wasnt looking for a fight man. god bless.

  • guitar player looks like gerard butler... haha

  • What the fuck is Bieber doing in related.. kinda gay

  • This is hilarious.

  • dude has a sweet ass haircut, and an angelic voice, it adds up, hes awsum.

  • better than Rebecca black

  • This was a good cover, it took a unique spin on the classic. Note that the singer actually sounds great/on-key without auto-tune. Lol

  • @atomicfriendo you really do like anberlin a lot, don't you?

  • @starryseasforpatel wow, you're following me everywhere! You should subscribe...anberlin sucks :)-~

  • anberlin sucks :)-~

  • @atomicfriendo Have you heard any of there songs?!?!

  • @t3hlastsk8ter of course i have, and they suck....anberlin sucks :)-~

  • Anberlin don't declare themselves as a "Christian Band", although some of the members are. A lot of magazines and christian communities picked up on them, naturally, because of the lyrics. They're a really talented group and don't go around trying to convert the world. (I liked this cover btw.)

  • There's something super fucked up about a Christian band covering Danzig.

  • a really great version, I've done this many years danzig fan and could not eventually hear the song more but this version is the hammer

  • this is great a Band that can sing like 80% of the poeple who sings now can't sing its remade on the computer

  • Fajna nuta;D

    podoba mi się;D

  • @NerijusGudelis anberlin sucks :)-~

  • @atomicfriendo ATTENTION

  • @jeanismohamed hey bitch.....I bet you think you're pretty smart by leaving hate comments on peoples's pagse whilst you have them blocked....but just so you know, there's a lot of shit thats gonna happen real fucking soon....you can run but you can't fucking hide...you brought this all onto yourself, you stupid cunt...see ya soon...LMFAO....BTW you have no fucking idea how many people know about you....

  • @xXxNerdAlertxXxX ohhh big man/woman, what are you going to do??? create a new youtube account so you can leave a comment on my profile? did i hurt your feelings enough for you to think about me all day or are you going to wait until i reply on your page so you can delete it again and cry :'( youre trying to pick up chicks through youtube, be quiet...

  • @jeanismohamed , i.m female you stupid cunt...whats your excuse...and get over yourself, this channel was made when you were still shitting in your diapers and sucking your fucking mom's tit....so if your not here to enjoy this song, how bout you just fuck off whore

  • @xXxNerdAlertxXxX great.. threaten me and then tell me to fuck off...? thats exactly why i blocked you, youre stupid...

  • anberlin sucks :)-~

  • I wasnt feeling it when I heard him do this cover in concert, only because im used to rockin out to the song. BUT as it was stated before, its Stephen, and ive grown to love it. Of any musician I know, hes one of the only people that could pull this off...he can make the hardest songs soft, the softest songs hard! Hes the man, I love him! (and Nate Young) ;-)

    thats my boo for life! ;-P

  • 3:15 to 3:17 best part

  • stephen christian's profile looks like an elderly woman in this video

  • @hellokitty450 I love him... but I often find this to be true haha

  • i thought its..." If you wanna bang heads with me." ??

  • @Zachbro39 Thats what he says

  • Love both versions. A great song should inspire different arrangements of it.

  • they sucked all the BADASSery out of this song lol

  • @SushiPackHanzo anberlin sucks :)-~

  • Anberlin is amazing.

    Definitely my favorite band ever!

  • you can't scare mothers and fathers with that vocal intent. harmonically good, i'll omit...but, the intention of the tune is NOT there : it is as being a guerilla pacifist.

  • Love Anberlin, Love The Song, Love Everything about this song.

  • HOLY SHIT. SOO GOOD.

  • i am a fan of distinct facial features

  • @ubetterlookbothways this feels a little antagonistic. i didn't mean to insult the chin, it was only an observation. i hadn't ever seen it before is all.

  • This song is absolutely beautiful! his voice amazes me :D

  • kann der mal bitte aufhörn? sowas dummes

  • @atomicfriendo name a reason why, a good one too. that's right, there is nothing that makes anberlin bad, because they're great. end of converstation.

  • @iPLAYgb anberlin sucks :)-~

  • Weird song for a Christian band to cover acoustically. 

  • @AmericaDevil Though the commonly held belief is that they're a Christian band, they dont use the label. In several interviews they have stated that they are Christians in a band, but not a "Christian band"... Not that there is much of a difference between the two... Lol...

  • @ryanthebaker That's what every Christian Rock band says...

  • @ryanthebaker no, the difference is that a band of Christians wont use inappropriate lyrics or swear versus a Christian band which is aimed at bringing a religious message into their music.

  • @dumbkid1234 Well yeah, but at the same time, you can often tell when its's a band of Christians because their lyrics can be easily allegorical to Christ, faith, etc. But that's why I said that a Christian band and a band of Christians have PRETTY MUCH no difference between them... Left room for exceptions... Lol...

  • @ryanthebaker really? tell that to Five finger Death punch, or any other band that refers to the bible and uses allegorical or analogical statements and lyrics from the bible, seriously, youre a dumbass if thats what you think makes a christian band and a band of christians the same.

  • @AmericaDevil not a christian band.

  • this is actually really nice :O

    danzig <3

  • His hair ruined it for me

  • lol funny face at 3:18

  • Please don´t do such a sad version of "Am I Demon" or "She rides"!

  • I'm sorry, but I don't like it.

  • Interesting version of a great Danzig tune. The singers voice is beautiful. Soft, yet powerful. And yea, his chin is cool. He also looks much cooler now since he ditched this emo haircut.

  • @TargetRender Thank God. I was going to suggest he clean up that shaggy crapmop on his head. I'll have to look up a new pic of him. And yeah, it's a pretty interesting cover.

  • fuck this shit. ruining danzig songs fuck them

  • @josh3mery umm, why are you a hater? fuck off.

  • @iPLAYgb umm, why do you choose me out of everyone else that said it sucked? fuck off.

  • @josh3mery i replied to about 5 people, so you're obviously not the only person i've chosen. you're a dumbass

  • @iPLAYgb why are you trolling you dumbass? stop bitching because nobody likes it. everyone has an opinion and when someone's is different then yours you don't have to be a little bitch.

  • @josh3mery -- Anberlin is gay period, so it's no surprise their cover of Danzig would be gay too.

  • I don't know, i feel like they've taken all of the power out of the song. It's supposed to be a real tongue-in-cheek spit in the face of the PMRC and music censorship, but i don't get that from this. I'm not saying it's terrible, I just don't think it really fits.

  • I actually Like this more than the original. Its just amazing.  @ThisLuckyBrush His chin is hawt lol so are his tats

  • Crispen Glover is a good singer, but I like him better as an actor.

  • @FinsterFlummoxing hahaha thats what i thought to

  • @FinsterFlummoxing This ain't Crispen lol.

  • @XiCeDBabyX yeah! it's stephen!
