Pantera - Mouth For War - Guitar Percussion Cover

[@OlaEnglund]

The amount of multitasking in this video is frying my brain...

[@PNWBodybuilding]

Ola Englund your cover is awesome as fuck too! -From a loyal subscriber

[@EduardoMano]

Came straight to the comment section looking for Ola... was not disappointed.

[@Nitronium]

Fuck off. ✅

[@illumibloodp0rne529]

Ola, you here?

[@samhain6953]

Not surprised...

[@AimTVSydney]

To all that are having a go at Sam, he's a metal fan this tune Megadeth and the Slayer video were all endorsed by the bands themselves. Its just a bit of fun. Calm down. Phil himself loved this video.

[@psych0scrubs]

Tell Sam he is awesome

[@therealshug]

it makes me sad that so many metalheads are being so narrowminded. This guy is fucking awesome and I love his metal covers!

[@duckandcovermail]

People who can't appreciate this, don't understand music.

[@PapagiannisWoW]

Homegirl1982 at least they are not as narrowminded as all sorts of more popular music fans lol

[@fulviomasini5842]

I also plays acoustic guitar percussion! watch my videos on my channel if you like

[@trevormandina2163]

I can't be the only one who actually enjoyed his vocals? They were comical. Made this pretty enjoyable

[@tross6380]

Yass.

[@chase_like_the_bank]

Yes you are

[@tross6380]

Doubtful.

[@Julien869]

I love it too, it sounds like he is actually explaining the lyrics haha.

[@cassianowogel]

trevor mandina The vocals are just great! Very original and funny hahaha

[@madetofail6794]

3:23 That was probably the most hardcover metal scream I've ever heard.

[@TOFB]

Been a Pantera fan for over 20 years and this is by far the best cover of the song I've ever seen. Well done!

[@TrashMojo]

i wish dime could have seen this. he would have lost it hahaha. excellent cover and mondo props at your skills dude

[@augustoisaac7542]

Live reality, it is better than dreaming of a non existing possibilities. Dime saw many great things in his time, I'm sure.

[@puzza8339]

And I hope Phil Anselmo will never see this..

[@brunomantovaneli6076]

@@puzza8339 it seems he watched and loved it

[@MrMetallidude]

I've played guitar for over 16 years, have a KZbin-channel where I've posted close to 500 covers and after watching this, I feel almost embarrassed to call myself a guitarist. Great cover and amazing talent.

[@Keykey70]

If you've played for 16 years, it probably wouldn't be difficult for you to pick up on guitar percussion. Once you've got down the coordination, it's not that difficult. It's like learning classical for the first time, how your thumb doesn't quite work so well with the rest of your fingers, but after a while it starts to happen on it's own accord. Hehe. Accord. A-chord

[@MrMetallidude]

Well, you do have a point.

[@powerface71]

The genre will not endure. It is a flash in the pan. Don't bother wasting your time trying to perfect it. It will be long gone by then.

[@thefuture9361]

powerface71 Yes because people havent been doing it for years right? About the same as saying in the 60's Rock and Roll is a fad

[@carajillodwsq]

Me too

[@petervanwinden3953]

3:09 I've never heard "Like a knife into flesh" sung so happily before.

[@AdiHazan26]

the solo that start in 2:16 is one of the coolest things ever been done on an acoustic guitar.

[@PiglipsMaximus]

It's beautiful

Awesome!!!

Amen, brother.

Of course he would... listen... ANYTHING guitar was loved by Dime.

[@Tasmanaut]

doubt it. This is mostly wank and for show, it doesn't kick ass.

[@wolof97]

@@Tasmanaut like to see you try even half of what he did without tripping over yourself, do all music fans a favour and go back to the pit you came from

[@YouFeudTV]

I love these piss poor rude complaints about the singing.. His not going to break out screaming like phil,why would he? His vocals are more entertaining than if they weren't there at all.. And it helps us know/follow the song better.. Keep it up Sam 👏 you're a champ! 🏆👏😉

[@pbaker1957]

Did I compare his singing to Phil? I think my orignal remark was made re: MC Hammer.

[@Curly_Toes]

But he's not singing

I can't overstate how much I do Sam's vocal styles with so many songs when I'm just goofing around and enjoying so many metal songs.

This needs to make the rounds again. Talent!

[@CareyPortnoyBeauford]

holy shit bro, nice take on a classic. hearing the riff in such a different way, well done.

It's amazing that after watching such an incredible guitar player people start complaining about the "vocals" of this genious guy. Any sense of humour, guys?

[@PDM_Customs]

I don't think people are getting the point this is a showcase of guitar and percussion. It's epic. Thankyou enjoed IT.

[@Spirit-Musik]

One just needs to realize that being relaxed and having fun with someone's art is a privilege. Super talent. Tons of chops. Taking something that belongs to someone else, making it his own, and getting a majority of likes is proof positive. I'm not a "metal fan", but this is fantastic interpretation.

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

3.23 that's the toughest "urgh" ever heard in metal.

[@madetofail6794]

Lol

[@bo12white34]

That made the whole song better . Sounded like Elmer fudd sat on a tack

i am a full blown metalhead and i think this guy is a genius, awesome work and funny as fuck also love your Slayer covers.....😁😁😁

I'm proud to go to uni and to be surrounded by people like this everyday :)

I never thought in my life would I hear this done this way... Headbang, laugh, chuckle and think.. hey this could be a pg kids lesson at the same time. PURE TALENT!!!!!!! the HARMONICS!!!

[@SinepFilms]

The solo... the solo part always brings me back to this performance every couple of weeks.

[@2potatos]

I am amazed. Honestly I've never seen a musician do beat and guitar at the same time. That's just the least. This is just. Wow

The second time I watch this before my school starts. I have a habit of making beats too much c:

Go watch the cover of Teardrop that Newton Faulkner does in an elevator. Im not sure if he started this style but he was certainly one of the earlier guys to do it on youtube.

Come on, tubers. How could this be anything but complementary. Sam, you're freaking amazing. Requests ; CLAP or Jerry was a race car driver

[@dreamtheaterz28]

The internet is such a double edged sword. It provides a place for amazing musicians like this guy to put his work out there, and then it also provides a place where total ass wipes can be negative and idiotic for no real reason.

[@Alex_Short]

Yes. And he can perform for nothing for you. You so appreciated him. But let me guess. Had you paid him even 1 cent? I guess not. Comment is all you can. Power

[@PiglipsMaximus]

Negative nancys

[@nateh.512]

This takes an enormous amount of talent to listen to each and every one of those instruments to put together to play on one single instrument. If people can hate on this, they will hate on anything online.

[@pwilburnsprint]

Mad skills, but found the goofiness and uniqueness of the lyrics and showmanship the icing on the cake. Brilliant.

[@crawlersgrave]

I don't give what anyone says ur singing makes this go so nicely. It fits ur tone and the guitar playing is amazing. good job >

[@MrBrendonomous2]

Anyone that good at playing guitar can sing however the fuck he wants!

[@CodeNameBobSmith]

For the record, I think his voice is fucking fine. I will agree that it seems nonsensical and doesn't fit the "metal" aspect, it being a Pantera song, but if anyone watches other things by him he's clearly not a tard. Instead he's not a metal singer, or he accepts it anyway whereas he doesn't growl, and not to mention it is an acoustic cover so that would be out of place regardless. All in all, it comes down to Sam having fun. He knows he's fucking good, and if he wants to sing, then fuck it. It adds a bit of tongue and cheek character to the crazy upbeat energy that's starkly different from the tone of the original due to it being an acoustic cover and all the other little tweaks within it.

[@xiaoXaoPL]

Fucking awesome, guitar playing lvl 100

[@majasha259]

Great cover, not heard anyone smash metal tunes percussively on an acoustic. Totally keeps the original spirit of the song

[@GixxerRider1991]

You're incredibly gifted, and this style of guitar playing is criminally underrated. Bravo!

[@Gygaweb]

Adam Sandler and the guitar

[@MarioLuigi181]

Thank god I wasn't the one who saw that.

[@luukraver]

I wonder what it would sound like if he would take the vocals more seriously. I understand that this is just all for good fun but I can't help but wonder what it would sound like. The guitar playing is out of this world, I think some nice vocals would really make it perfect.

[@luukraver]

Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man.

[@luukraver]

You're easily annoyed, aren't you?

[@shenkeey]

***** I agree with him...there was no need for that assumption, and was really out of the blue; he meant no such thing

[@luukraver]

You know, to be honest I really don't know what Cnut was so upset about.. In my opinion I didn't say anything to provoke the cranky reaction that he gave me. So I decided to be a dick.Cnut, if you're still following all this: Why so grumpy man? All I said was that I would like to hear this with some more seriously recorded vocals. I honestly don't see how you could take that the wrong way.

[@NVJosh]

Luuk D your comment made me happy, did you quote the Big Lebowski?

[@ArtixWoP]

Isn't it strange that Tobuscus and Sam look alike?

[@drainmudvayne27]

lovin this after so many years, my ears keep bring me back.....

[@skarba2393]

I know that he plays very well and stuff, but.... I'm surprised there's no meme about his facial expressions.

[@mkfanforever58]

A lot of metal guys aren't into memes.

[@skarba2393]

mkfanforever58 Who says that he's the one who will make a meme about him? Maybe some random guy who doesn't even really into metal is going to come and make a meme.

[@mkfanforever58]

+Skarba I'm saying metal heads (people who are going to watch this video) most likely aren't a fan of memes.

[@georgespanos4680]

Actually every video of his that doesn't include "singing" really feels off after seeing this.

[@QualityApeMan]

This is like Mr. Bungle covering Pantera or something :D

[@AxinGuy]

If this were a Mr. Bungle cover we'd have to start with a circus version of the the guitar riff and have it suddenly turn to blast beat jazz and then make the chorus clean 🤣

[@whitetrash4338]

love it or hate it, there's no denying that he is a master of his craft.

[@TJ_Silvester]

His approach on guitar is insane. Brilliant. I didn't expect this song could be pulled off so wickedly on an acoustic guitar. But I can't help but think this video could have 20 million views if only he didn't recite lyrics like that guy out of "Some Mothers Do Ave Em".
