  • way better than hollywood undead's cover

  • buen cover, suena bien

  • cool

  • damm, its loud, but i rely love it

  • Comment removed

  • An Amazing Cover, by two of the most influential individuals in metal, Hansi and Jon Schaffer are gods

  • @dadd13sl1lg1rl1980 I wouldn't say they are the most influential individuals in metal, but they are pretty good.

  • nice

  • This is a very nice cover... and by the way Hansi,Plant or anyone else great artist cannot be compared with noone, just that....This cover was intented to be produced with a metal soundalike and so it is...Imagine Hansi's Vocals with the original track or imagine Plant with this cover... So do not judge just enjoy.

  • Good cover but could never top the great zeppelin

  • @Metallaro51 Hansi Kursch is not trying to imitate Plant at all actually. He does not need to either because he's vastly superior as well.

  • @LordAngus1992 lol exactly....they are both legends but Hansi is like Thor, and Robert Plant is like Long John Silver's parrot...

  • @TheBanyanEmperor WHAT? HANSI, THOR?

    You're talking bullshit!

    He is Wodan. =D

  • @LordAngus1992

    Wouldn't go that far mate....

  • This is not an original cover, but it is definitely a technologically updated cover and is damn good. You wanna hear a very horrible cover of this then look up Hollywood Undead's version of this on youtube.

  • must be kidding... this crap will never be better than zeppelin version

  • For more great you can do the music. No one can do the intro screams like Plant!

  • wooooowwww

  • NICE FUCKING VOCALS ASS HOLE U CAN NEVER TAKE SOMEONES SONG UNLESS YOU GOT THE VOCALS BUT I GUESS U DRUNK SMOKEING WEED CRACK DEALING NO LIFES DONT GET THAT FUCK U

  • @MyGabe15 lol u so excited

  • orcs and wizards are for fags

  • @Hemanoma You're right, sweaty group showers and ass grabbing are for the straight people :3

  • @Nitronimor You're telling me.

  • TOR...

  • You cant dictate your opinion of music to anyone...its subjective

    I dont care for this a lot because I like the way the original grooves but love that they are covering Zep

  • These guys didn't try to make a cover better than the original,it's just a tribute to a big band:led zeppelin..there's no point in arguing which one is better

  • I actually like this version better, I can understand what he's saying. But that's just my opinion :/

  • @Metallaro51 Play Led Zeppelin? Haha. This version is much better, but you're entitled to your opinion for as long as you desire.

  • Very good cover but i think i like the original better, i like the heaviness of this version but idk. Lol they're both good i'll leave it at that.

  • I don't like comparing covers to the originals, but this is probably the best cover of this song I've heard.

  • Greatest cover of the song EVER! Matches the original.

  • this song can never be better as the original! led zeppelin flow is the copyright!

  • original is the best...no doubt...be real men....-.-

  • I laughed when I heard the guitar at the start.

    BECAUSE IT WAS SO AWESOME! 8D

    vocals could be better though o. o

  • The down-tuned, palm-muted guitars make this version sound a lot like White Zombie's "Thunder Kiss '65". It's in the same key.

  • NICE!

  • MUCH better than Led Zeppelin's version :-)

  • This cover should come free with every Dungeons & Dragons manuals purchased.

  • pretty good except the scream sounds weird listen to this: /watch?v=-CbpXzYGprs

  • the best cover of this song.... but obviously NOTHINGGGG can be beter than the real version n_n

  • I personally like this cover the best.

    I am not a cover kind of person, but this bands great.

    They did not kill the song, like a lot of cover bands do.

  • caralho ficou muito bom!!!!

  • bad cover :(

  • @HippieRock69 bad listener

  • @TheBanyanEmperor no, is so heavy

  • agreed, the vocals could've been better, but the guitar is just too awesome

  • somewhat dissapointed with hansi's voice on this one; it sounds drowned, which is totally unnecessary for without question the most underrated vocalist of our time

    the guitar makes up for it though, much in the same sense for terror train, enough to where i'd rather listen to this cover than the original any day of the week

  • hansi should've used his Blood Tears skills at the beginning,i expected extreme falsetto there ...oh well

  • This is actually a GREAT cover. Personally, I prefer the guitar from this version, but as much as I LOVE Hansi's vocals, I gotta say that I prefer Plant's.

    Nobody kill me please. :)

  • @SednaOfAnterra That what makes me sick, no one can replicate robert plants voice but everyone in the band but him wants to do a reunion tour

  • @DeathRaiderMMT I know, that's insane! Though I did see him in concert in January with the Band of Joy, and it was pretty good, although the venue had really strict house rules.

  • @SednaOfAnterra

    hansi = god, therefor > plant by default

    there's just nothing you can do about it bro, now let's bromance it out with some brograb included

  • @AtTheEdgeOfTime

    Even Zeus and Thor had gods more powerful than them. I think this is the case with Hansi. He may be a god, but Plant is to Hansi as Odin is to Thor.

  • @mcorneah

    if you have to bring out the god "tier" comparisons for such a matter, so to speak (of which zeus has no relation to Æsir in the first place), i imagine you haven't seen the movie thor yet

    ps: god of thunder should've been played during the credits, even though the song lyrics reference zeus

    @SednaOfAnterra

    BE A BRO FOR A DAY OK? OK >:(

  • @mcorneah Actually, Odin was just the father. Thor was more of a warrior, as was Tyr. Odin was killed by the wolf Fenrir, that Tyr had chained up. Thor also killed the serpent Jormungandr, something Odin would be incapable of doing.

  • @w1ll3r5 Thor was also slain by Jormungandr. Don't forget that.

  • @AtTheEdgeOfTime Uhhh... I'm a girl, but thanks for the offer.

  • honestly im with you too. this song was ment for heavy guitars and double kickers

  • @SednaOfAnterra o no we won't.... you just go to bed dont worry...... ' sharpens butchers knife...' hihihihi

    O.T. both versions have their charm i believe, this one aint better then the other and the other aint better then this. theyre both masterpieces

  • fucking haters...

    just shut up and support led zeppelin or whatever i´m tired of you

  • you don't know a shit about dark musicr from the 60's to the 90's it was much better than this piece of shit you call rock in those times those motherfucker were acid bastars crazyassshit motherfuchers they really knew how to throw a party and acid party bitch like king crimson, gong, led zeppelin, pink floyd in the early 60's and 70's deep purple, hendrix, barret, jethro tull ect, there are like a 1000 of great crazyassshit bands from the early 60's to the 80's

  • @demetios Considering when the original was written, music hadn't really gotten this heavy or dark. Black Sabbath had just come out like 6 months before this song was recorded and they were the heaviest and darkest thing around at the time. Personally, I prefer the live version off the BBC Sessions album because of the great guitar solo. This was easily the heaviest song written by Zeppelin and probably my fav next to Achilles Last Stand or Whole Lotta Love

  • @Camaristhehero Communication Breakdown is the heaviest too me.

  • As most covers, this one is less good than the original... I honestly expected Hansi's voice to be much more high (considering he IS able to do it)

  • @psychomurderguitaris they keyed down the guitar, so they had to do something different with hansi, and this key is obviously for a darker sound, i personally like it better, but everyone has their opinion.

  • fucking horrible, an earrape... john bonham turns in his grave on this shit :S

  • blind guardians wayyyy better but iced earth is alright is well

  • @marekday IE and BG are equal in awesomeness. If they weren't there wouldn't be a Demons and Wizards D: However IE with "The Ripper" After 9/11 wasn't as epic because Matt Barlow is the heart and soul of IE

  • epicness

  • Iced Earth + Blind Guardian = Demons & Wizards....there all great bands i love em

  • everyone on /mu/ are bitches

  • WOW THAT WASN'T GOOD AT ALL

  • Better than original.

    Honestly.

    You'd be either a fool not to hear it OR emotionally strangled to the original.

    However, this would be THE best cover of the original song that I've heard so far, and I've heard them a lot.

    Best regards to all the fans of both bads.

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 Great cover, but nobody beats ZEP! 

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 I dare say , this isn't better than the original , but it's still the best cover so far

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 not even close

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 Trent Reznor did a damn good cover too. Regardless, this is the best, and Reznor comes in number two. Number three is the original.

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 Then you've never heard Gotthard's cover of this song!

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 actually this is not better than the original, and i'm not such a fan of Led Zeppelin, i just think that the original is better than this, altough, i think that there is one cover better than the original but i forgot who covered it :/ ...

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 fucking right man -much more better than the original both vocal and music wise! EXCELLENT cover version!

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 Hey, in the last few months after you posted your comment, a better version was released.

    The cover by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is absolutely perfect!!! It's definately the best 'Immigrant Song' cover ever.

    You should check it out!

  • @MadonnasMrDj Do you happen to have a link?! Thanks. :}

  • Comment removed

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 I do! You can check out an edited version of the song in the AMAZING teaser for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" here:

    watch?v=WVLvMg62RPA

    The full version will be released with the score in December.

  • @MadonnasMrDj Thanks for the link. Given what I've heard and the amount of the computer editing done to the song I must say that I disagree with the claim that "better" version had emerged. It's certainly nice one to hear, however the much needed intensity comes exactly from more aggressive approach, rather than shadowy-whisp-wrath-neopostgot­hpunk if you know what I mean. :}

    However, a nice way to promote a movie title, lol. My regards and ty. :}

  • @MadonnasMrDj It reminded me of v=Y33hGaEgW7U

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 I don't see it. (well, "hear" is more appropriate lol)!

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 I don't want to live on this planet anymore....

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 "Best regards to all the fans of both bads" you just made it seem like both bands are bad :'(

  • @arabidcrackhead IT was a mistake while typing. Too late for correction now, I guess :}

  • It's good and Hansi has a wonderful voice, but I still prefer the original. The recording is clearer of course, because of the modern tech, but I still think you can't beat Robert Plant's falsetto for this song. Nice to compare the two though. Thanks for posting. :)

  • zomfg zeppelin cover :D

  • Pretty sure this is how Led Zepplin would have played it if it was written in the past 20 years.

  • I like it better than the original, Shaffer plays it much better, and Hansi is a better singer, plus it is mixed better and D&W has better distortion.

  • @AnthonyRF1996 competely agree

  • you mad

  • GoNoRdEaTh is obviously just trying to troll and failing. Talking in all caps and saying he fucks rotten pussy...rofl? Lol, this kid must have down syndrome.

  • @GoNoRdEaTh well looks like we have a little fan boy in here, open your mind, this cover is awesome, the original is awesome end of convosation. umad?

  • ALL OF YA ARE FUCKING POSER TO LIKE THIS SHIT IS FUCKING DISGUSTING WHAT GUITAR ARE U TALKING ABOUT EVEN A CHOP HAND COULD PLAY LIKE THIS FUCKING GUITARRIST

  • This is the best cover I've ever heard too. Imo it's better than the original but that surely is debatable. And "GoNoRdEaTh" is just being a stupid troll trying to start flame wars, just ignore him.

  • @Harleysvideos BEST COVER? BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL? IGNORE HIM? WELL NO DOUBT THAT U ARE A EARLESS MOTHERFUCKER THAT NO HAVE IDEA WTF U R TALKING ABOUT FUCKING POSER FOR SURE

  • @GoNoRdEaTh

    LOL U MAD BRO???

  • @IrrationalBees Always hail a. crowley""

  • @GoNoRdEaTh dont you have any thing better to do then make a fool of your self on youtube & maybe we should ignore you but it is kinda funny to see what you got to say any ways no one cares & if you dont like this music why you on this vid trying to piss people off??? just go back to your justin bieber stuff & leave us all alone & i still say this is a good song =)

  • @thesuperproasskicker And you're not making a fool of yourself, how?

  • @eisforevannn hmm not sure if i got any thing to say to that today give me a about a week ill come up with something but if i cant think of any thing to say then ill just go with this im a fool so what dose that mean a fool can kick your ass?

  • i just hate this fucking covers is just shit

  • Guy below me is mad.

  • @GoNoRdEaTh well from what you just said im guessing you dont like good music or you just dont know what good music is

  • @thesuperproasskicker u dont have idea what the fuck is good music this shit is good for ya cuz u r a fucking poser i prefer cover of napalm death demoniac posesion so fuck off whit this syssy cover hail zepellin bonzo is shitin in his grave when someone listen to this shit

  • @AlextheChamp25 ill go through ur mom`s rotten pussy fuck off keep listening this fucking shit fucking poser and maiden isnt like this shit hail maiden motherfucker i will fuck ur rotten mommy

  • @GoNoRdEaTh hahaha, the funny part is, you can tell how stupid and narrow minded you are just by that statement. I dont like the cover im just saying theres worst, you dont have to be a little bitch about it.

  • I enjoy the Led Zeppelin version just as much as anyone, but WOW, much more force behind this one. D&W are great!

  • i like this version better sorry to offend any zeplin fans

  • um whos led zepellin

    XD JUST KIDDING

  • i love this,.it isnt fair to compare to the original. its a cover in tribute not an attempt to make their song better. its great though.

  • Mind....blown....

  • the reptile eye...

  • I MEAN DW ARE A GREAT BAND , BUT ZEPPELIN ARE ONE OF THE GREATESTS DONT COMPARE THIS COVER WITH THE ORIGINAL , CAUSE IT DOESNT EVEN FIT , YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN LOCO ??? OH DAMMED !!!

  • Hansi sounds good... I'm not liking the drums at all though

  • interesting cover

  • Fantastic cover!! I love Led Zep, but this is one of the greatest cover-versions I ever came across!

  • @demetios THIUMBSUP MAN!!! GODLY COVER! led zeppelin still is the ledgendary metal band tho =)

  • This cover is great.

  • To all Hansi-doubters, listen to Poor Man's Crusade...Pretty much 4 seconds into the song he hits a higher note than the original Immigrant Song.

  • I'm impressed. This is one of the best Immigrant Song covers I've heard. Good on you, Demons & Wizards.

  • do u feel the snare sound go ur spine??

    the bass work sounds great..

  • the voice ruins it. 

  • @sco40 Blaphsemy!

  • both versions are great

  • what ya got to remember demetios that led zeppine didn't record this song in as a hi tec studio as d&w and also they never count them selfs as a metal band more blues then anything else, im not have a dig by the way

  • Wow.

  • @SpeedHammer my thoughts exactly.

  • BOW DOWN TO POWER METAL !!!!

  • Hansi is Odin

  • @aawsb  Let's just drop the fancy names and say it.

    HANSI IS GOD!!!!!!

  • good cover!

  • Holy Bass playing at 0:46! Good lord!

  • Wow, this is really strange, but I really like it!

  • they made it sound more viking but i still say the original is better. They lowered the vocals down an octave and it is a slower tune. But good cover. Led Zeppelin came first and could perform this song live exactly as it sounded on the album back in 1969 and throughout the 70's. i believe these guys used more studio effects.

  • @Immortaltech2010 if any two songs were the same(cover and original) that would be horrible! But they are both indeed awesome.

  • Both versions are excellent, but quite different, this is more METAL!!! and Led's is little more melodic, they're different and that's good.

  • this is pretty kick ass

  • aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhha.­.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhaaa!!

  • i agree i always thought this was way better than the orginal. hansi is a way better vocalist than led zepplins vocalist, plus i prefer it heavier like this. and zoso how is it too slow its the same speed as the orginal or even slightly faster hansi just holds notes longer than the orginal vocalist

  • To slow!

  • @zoso426 To arms!

  • Incredible... Hansi's voice is just incredible!

  • to each his own

  • Listen to the bass guitar...

  • Hansi probably could have made it, but it would have sounded a lot less friendly than the original falsetto.

  • i agree i almost think this song lowered almost everything an octave

  • i agree dude

  • I first heard this song only a couple of days ago. I've listened to this cover and the original version aswell. I know old Zeppelin fans will crucifie me, but in my opinion the cover is much better. The giutar sound is more powerfull and Hansi's vocals are a lot more agressive.

  • @demetios Im a zepplin fan, but this version IS more powerful. I love them both though.

  • @demetios you know i've never understood the whole thing with people having to always bash covers. i like hearing covers because as long as the band doesn't absolutly murder the song, which Demons and Wizards doesn't then it's an awsome tribute to the original band that made the song famous

  • @MaraJade13243

    indeed, tributes are meant to do respect to

  • @demetios I agree with you 100% It's not even that his vocals are more agressive, it's the fact that he has much better singing technique than Robert Plant. Robert Plant sounds like a lady to me.

  • @demetios may be youre a little bit deaf dude , or stupid , any way you can suck my dick when you want motherfucker ill fucking cut your ears and fucking fingers , so you can not write bullshit in youtube .. FUCK YOU !!!!

  • @demetios We like what we like mate >) Personally, I believe the Iced Earth version of God of Thunder totally pulverizes the original by KISS. Hell, I don't even like the original, but I love the cover. So, what does this mean? Nothing! it's just a matter of taste :P

    "De gustibus et coloribus non disputandum."

  • @demetios hmm maybe cuz lz version was recored in the 70's omfg you're retarded...

  • @TheBrightEye That doesn't have anything to do with people's opinions. Oh my fucking God you're retarded. Not him. You.

  • @jedah998 LOL quality of the song has nothing to do with opinion... -.-
