Bullet For My Valentine ''Domination''

Bullet For My Valentine - Tears Don't Fall EP
Release 2006

[@wademasters2344]

I'm a HUGE pantera fan. And it's safe to say this is a good cover

[@ianjarvis4767]

Yeah... it doesn't try to be a Pantera song and to make a straight comparison this does not hold up to Pantera (drums, guitar, bass or vocals) but as a COVER its a good one.

[@toad1312]

​exactly

[@amnesios3263]

I believe covering pantera is the hardest thing a band can cover cause you'll never find another anselmo or dime,but this is a kickass cover

[@IssakLlanos]

He’s not that great of a singer get off his dick lol 😂 what cuz he screamed supposedly the first screamer?

[@jeremygillum9729]

I love what they did with the breakdown at the end

[@ZaneMinix]

Oh Yeah and dude the original had the same awesomeness behind it and personally bro this one cover that'll definitely go down in history as one of the best. I'd rank this at #1 though bro

[@winterxclears4763]

I showed this to my pet gold fish , now he’s a shark

[@emiliomiranda2003]

I showed it to mine and told me to put the original one.

[@jacobcyrus833]

Breakdown and Solo are the jet components to covering this song. I doubt Bullet set out to sound better than the original, and were merely paying respects to the metal gods who paved the way for their success. You can’t deny the brutality that takes place on this track. Pure masterpiece.

[@jacobcyrus833]

Key* not jet

[@NeonSlice]

Of course it's not going to be the same as the original, that's the whole point behind covering a song... They gave it their own twist.

[@steviewander2693]

PieroHD thats not the point actually. When you have a signature song and you try to put your own twist to it you just sound like a f****** idiot because that's the whole point of the original song and what makes it so badass so when you try to change it you sound like a f****** douchebag and rarely do people change songs and make them better. The whole point to covering it is because it's fun because it's a great song. One particular example that I can think of off the top of my head of a song that was actually improved by the cover is what you're doing by Rush that was covered by Skid Row on there b-side ourselves album. The whole album is great but only five songs long.

Underground Metal Lyrics actually, Jailhouse Rock is originally Elvis’ song...

[@LucasBozovich]

Stevie Wander songs aren’t always meant to be played the exact same style. Jazz songs do this all the time by changing from swing feel to Latin, Street Beat, and they even change the time signature and tempo. No two performances by each band is exactly the same, and that’s what made Jazz so interesting. The same is true for things like this, and even the Punk Goes Series where metal and punk bands put their own style on modern and classic tunes.

Pretty awesome cover :D Bullet showing tribute to one of the greatest bands ever \m/

[@rainingblood979]

Pantera's was better, but this is good. Too bad Pantera's fans are mostly fanboys and girls that hate any band that covers Pantera now, sad really. Dime would be proud of Bullet for covering this beast of a song in his honor. Rock on Bullet fans. \m/ R.I.P. Dime \m/

[@FeldbergThePlayer]

I'm not a fanboy, but I am a massive fan of both Pantera and Bullet For My Valentine. Tbh, I have heard better covers of Pantera, but this is still a very decent effort by Bullet. It just sounds too clean for Pantera, and it doesn't sound much like Bullet either, I dunno it's kind of wishy washy for me. Still a decent tribute though

[@rainingblood979]

FeldbergThePlayer Like I said. Pantera's will always be better but they did good compared to say BMTH's cover of Eyeless. My ears hurt after I listened to that.

[@Ghosteloser]

Agony is the price That you'll pay in the end Domination consumes you Then calls you a friend It's a twisted fall Binds are like steel And manipulates the will To be And it's hard to see How soon we forget When there's nothing else left To destroy It's a useless ploy Your eyes will see the dawn of the day And the writing on the wall Those words that stare into your soul And to yourself you will befall It's domination Pushed into living hell Domination A now blacked heart Is reaching out in divinity Body suspended by chains over razors And nails It's a penalty Each razor a vice And each nail marks demise Of your life Grim construction grows And life played a trick Sealed you in brick by brick 'Til your end Forcing you to bend Your eyes will see the dawn of the day And the writing on the wall Those words that stare into your soul And to yourself you will befall It's domination Pushed into living hell Domination

They adapted the song to metalcore....not bad

[@adrenochromejunkie]

It's not fucking metalcore holy shit, it's a metalcore band playing a metal song. Even calling them a metalcore band is pushing it, because they only had a metalcore era and the rest is pure metal.

[@reinboldcompositions984]

@@adrenochromejunkie Thank you. I can't stand when people call BFMV metalcore. They're just heavy metal.

[@YouTubeViolates1A]

Nope. They're metalcore. They have more in common with Killswitch Engage than Pantera. Don't take that as me being a dick, I'm just being honest. It seems that you guys don't take pride in the metalcore label. Well, I came to tell you that metalcore is one of the most expansive genres in metal. So show a little pride. However, genres don't exactly matter. If the music is good, the music is good. That's all there is to it. If you like it, you like it. Don't worry about what the hell it is.

[@Somewhere_Bagel]

@@KZbinViolates1A have you even listened to their new albuns. Their first few were metalcore. Now they arent

[@YouTubeViolates1A]

It is a song about the destruction coming from a dominant power. It also mentions how people get too sucked into their power and end up destroyed by it in the end.

[@Avenger4343]

the riff is better than pantera's , you cant deny that

[@Nothing-bl7bj]

Growing up as a teen I loved this song. I thought it was an original for some time till I discovered the original from Pantera of course. I think the original is a little out dated (a remaster would be nice) which gives this one the edge over it. I thought the vocals were really good back in the day. Loved BFMV. Now re-visting this song and have consumed death metal for almost a decade now, I think the vocals could've be done better. Not death growl per say, but alot more of a cleaner, clearer growl would've been nice. Outro still has the kick so....still a pretty good cover!

[@demetriperera5583]

Oh my gosh same! I got the entire discography of BFMV at the time and went through the same thing!

[@davidkilby7661]

I like Panteras way of doing the verses, but Bullets way of doing the chorus. Really good cover none-the-less.

This is a good cover but nobody can even come close to Dime's tone. Pantera was so far ahead of their time, it's a shame it had to end so soon

[@TheMystagicalOne]

There is nothing wrong with the instruments o.O idk why people are bitching. the tones are better than Dimes and they made the drums heavier. And the solo is pretty much the same. The vocals aren't the best though.. but yeah. obviously some people can't get Dimecock out of their face for two seconds to realize the cover is actually decent.

[@alhafizqudry5073]

u rooooooooooockkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@357PhillyP]

Honestly, I've learned it's pretty damn hard to cover all lengths of Pantera tracks. Maybe Vinnie Paul on drums, but nothing can match Phils vocals, Dimes solos/riffs, or Rex' bass lines. It's almost impossible. Too damn impossible to touch. Give them credit for being influenced by Pantera. But this cover doesn't do me justice. In all honesty

[@hatch450sx3]

The closest might be dan donagan from Disturbed. Dimebag basicly taught him every trick he knows now from when they were touring for ozzfest i believe it was.

[@AlejandroGomez-lv2sw]

another one could be Jerry Cantrell. Cantrell has so much magic on his solos. He's actually the one to blame when it comes to Damageplan. Both were on a car when pantera splitted up and dimebag showed jerry a few demos of Damageplan. Alice and Pantera used to be pal's from hell, Layne and Phil actually were together on Thanksgiving day back in 1998. And for god's sake, let's not forget Zakk Motherfucking Wylde. In my opinion, he would be the best pick when it comes to a Pantera reunion.

[@davidmills4292]
