[@CresswellTim]

If it has any relevance or resonance to their journey I'm all for it but if they're just trying to be cool then it kinda sucks in my opinion.

2:33 the sign that the vocalist is a future metal band vocalist. This kid has some badassness that he has yet to unlock all of.

[@GypsyLizForbes]

It's been 12yrs since this release. I wonder what his voice is like now that it's matured.

[@intrepid5566]

I was thinking the same thing!!

[@joeavila704]

sad how some people can dislike this .These kids have amazing talent and probably were not even born when this song came out . go watch miley cirus you clowns. RIP DImebag you are not forgotten.

[@michaelashforth4066]

Yeah dude. Who feels like they have to dislike this? Clowns. 😂

[@andybacon2382]

These kids KILLED IT! Dime is definitely watching with a Black Toothed grin!!

[@thecoulee1121]

I want to hear the vocalist now... 10 years later, more mature and more practiced. These kids are absolutely on fire.

[@GypsyLizForbes]

I wonder the same in mid 2021.

[@LudacritzTTV]

Same though, these kids did great, I DO wish they attempted the vocal vs guitar high notes, but TBH for ANYBODY that's an incredible stretch, let alone a kid so I can't complain, and I'm sure they attempted it in rehearsal but that's a huge octave range that not many vocalists have so no judgement and I can't complain since I can't do it by ANY means lmao.

[@jessejamesrobstrains]

my best buddy loved this song! he left us very early at age 17 brought back good memories! thank you, you are all very talented!

[@jessebarnett8011]

Jesse James my name is also Jesse James, but more importantly I was baptized with another young man when I was 15 he was 16, we were friends and had played sports together all our lives. We felt something touch us in such a way it only took one look into each other’s eyes to know we both felt the same thing in that pool of water. And two years later I was listening to this song and for the first time heard it for what it was I cried I didn’t know why I just knew it was the right thing like something had been taken from me. My mother opened my bedroom door not 5 min later to tell me Johnny had died in a car accident the very same young man I was connected to in that water died, and then I knew why I was crying everytime I hear this song since then I always cry... Anyways just wanted to share the power Of musically enhanced memories and to embrace the way a song makes you feel. You may want a certain memory one day

[@sevyxuoir6714]

[@chriswilson4305]

THEY ARE STUDENTS!!! All you haters can take a flying fucking leap! Love what Aaron is doing with these kids! if you can do better...post it!!!!

[@turskiindustries6737]

By that logic if a chef gives you crappy food you're not allowed to criticize it because you didn't make it. Just because they're kids doesn't mean they're immune to criticism.

[@ariskoumbanakis467]

P-Ballers no but they're still kids It's normal for them to make mistakes and they still did a hell of a job

[@ethanstephan5554]

+P-Ballers see the the problem is I don't see criticism I see idiots who are just saying "this sucks" or "dimebag is better" and all kinds of other stupid crap criticism is supposed to help the person who it's directed at to do better by telling them were they need to improve.

[@andrewhamilton6078]

Love the wee man on the guitar he's fantastic (as they all are)

[@corysandell8696]

People can get off their high horse. I can point out a few things that could be better, but let's remember that it's kids on there. My band use to perform this song from time to time, and I used to cringe when it was requested. Any Pantera song really. There is a ton of harmonic movement in the songs, and to bring their songs to life was no easy task, even with a group of veteran musicians. There is a reason we remember Dimebag as on of the greats.

[@hanjaab1461]

Exactly. Constructive criticism and more practice and experience are all they need.

[@eddiesuttle9028]

I love it as a huge pantera fan no one can mimic dime bags play style but for these kids i thank they did damn good it all most sounded like dime

[@TROUBLEDSUM]

@@eddiesuttle9028 good kids good school. I very much enjoy their covers

[@FAQBrooks]

Exactly. This was only their 3rd take of the day! Unbelievable

[@Nosillamp]

I’m no musician but I feel like Pantera would be hard to cover. They were TIGHT, and Dime’s playing was...🔥🔥 Phil Anselmo’s voice? Just wow.

[@david5062]

Still after 15 years im watching this and amazed with how awesome this video is, the solo was so good too ❤. Amazing wmazing amazing

[@ju12ver]

I absolutely love all these kids and the adults who are helping them make this music. Great job!

[@indesignkat]

Love these videos. Some of my favorite songs, being performed very well by kids.. just amazing. Cemetery Gates, Painkiller, Pull Me Under.. wow. Throw in How Will I Laugh Tomorrow and it'll be absolutely perfect

[@twirlingchaos]

Would love to see the same kids do this in a few years time after their voices have changed. Amazing enough as it is, but once they grow into their own... Wow! Keep it up!

[@Vader99ify]

It's been 7 years! Most of these (if not all) are adults now. Bet they rock even harder now!

[@milllosh]

There are 3 kinds of people that dislike this - those that expected the kid to rip his throat out to sing like Anselmo - those that go awww when they see a 6yo sing twingkle twinkle little star on Idol/Voice/Whatever and came to this vid by accident - those who can't play any instrument, neither their kids can so they are expressing their jealousy The rest of the people are simply glad an amazing thing like this exists at all and see the future and perspective in non commercial music, straight from the heart and soul.

[@JakeCCal]

+milllosh Let me start by saying I love Pantera and these musicians did them justice... However it gets very irritating to see these "the only people who'd dislike this are..." comments. The fact of the matter is the "dislike" button is to tailor one's channel to the things they want suggested to them. So please keep it to yourself.

[@milllosh]

JakeCCal If you have any other category, I am open to suggestions.

[@hanjaab1461]

People seem to forget that they’re kids who have only a few years playing, at best. They also haven’t played together for ages. Is there room for improvement? Of course, and most professional musicians still strive to get better.

[@muffdiver240]

They did do a great job! I don't know if you're a fan of "Tool" or not, but the kids from O'Keef Music Foundation did an awesome cover of the song "46 & 2"! It's on KZbin, you should check it out.

[@menjiii01]

Muff Diver I actually do like tool oddly enough I was listening to sober yesterday on the way to work. Will check it out!!!

[@muffdiver240]

***** Tell me what you think after you see it. I never would've imagined a girl singing that, let alone a 12 year-old, but I thought she did it pretty well! The drummer kicked ass, too!

[@menjiii01]

Muff Diver okay sorry it took me so long but I'm back. I thought they did very well and it makes me happy to see kids not only learning to play instruments but playing meaningful music. Honestly, and this may not be the most popular opinion but I wouldn't listen to it again once was enough for me that particular song makes quite an impact on me and given the depth of the meaning behind it I'm just not digging the 12 year old girl on the vocals. I don't 'believe' the song when she sings it and it doesn't move me the way it does when Keenan sings it. Other than that it's all fine by me : )

[@muffdiver240]

***** It's true, Maynard clearly sings it better. I thought the kid was better than I would have expected, though.

[@mikesimpson6919]

these awesome kids put a good tear in my eye..So talented and such passion for the music..Thanks guys and girls, see you on the road in the future.

[@DarthWraithius]

The song is great, but these kids sound like they don't have enough chemistry. You can be a great guitarist/bassist, a great drummer, or a great vocalist but if you don't get that vibe where you get lost in the music then you don't have the right guys playing next to you. But overall a good effort in trying to live up to a legendary band.

[@anthonyherrera21]

was thinking the same. seems like its just another song to learn for them. the timing in the lead was all off on the first lead. the only who was feeling it was the kid singing. nevertheless wasnt TOO bad.

[@jeffmceachern456]

littlegoobie It would be nice to see him use something with a humbucker.

[@littlegoobie]

jeff mceachern you can't tell if it's a humbucker or not by looking at the top. It could be a stacked humbucker. They're made for those who want higher output and noice cancellation without losing the single coil sound.

[@EldongDaddyvic]

Those are hotrails. They ARE humbuckers. :P

[@gonefishn5138]
