HEADLESS CROSS - Erik Grönwall (Black Sabbath Cover)

Thank you so much for all your amazing comments and great song suggestions. Keep 'em coming. I am very honored!

[@jorgennilsson8308]

Otroligt bra Erik !!!! Kan du också göra en cover på Anno Mundi om du nu gillar den låten ?

[@yeolwan2285]

Super awesome Erik !

[@lucianacordeiro]

Perfect vocals ❤

[@borsbossen]

Skulle vara så coolt om du kunde göra en ny cover på Travelin' Band som du gjorde i Så ska det låta! Du gjorde den så j*kla bra men den finns ingenstans på nätet så man kan lyssna på den igen☹️

[@Manuela-07]

How about: DIO Rainbow in the dark ?

[@thevman5226]

Most Sabbath fans forget or hate the Tony Martin era, he’s one of the most unappreciated and underrated metal singers of all time. The Sabbath Martin albums are unbelievable. Erik’s vocals here are spot on! Incredible performance, incredible song! 🤘

[@kimrasmussen8352]

I dont 😊

[@EKEACRES]

I'm 51 and have been a HUGE fan of Skid Row since the 80's. You, my friend, are the perfect replacement of Bach. You do an outstanding Job as the front man. Congrats.

[@pablom6132]

I was just thinking about this very fact. the height, tone, intensity and colour of the sound, makes Erik stands at the very level of the metal gods of all times such as Halford, Dio, and obviously, S. Bach. (which I'm a fan since the 80's) Hardly ever a cover overtakes the original, this is the case.

[@wavular]

ha h,I knew Baz back in the day playing I Toronto, larry's hideaway in a band called kid wikkid, I met him in Peterborough just before he moved to Toronto.

Wow, thank you!

[@mrski749]

@ You are Better then " BAZ " You my friend are the new path for Metal 👍👍👍

[@leeengland1748]

I agree. Erik is awesome and a really nice guy too

[@johnnyromero3336]

100% agree! This gives me Chills, This was always one of my favorite songs but this version is on another level. Amazing Singer Erik!

[@timlansing3513]

It sounds like he grew up on pop

I don't agree. Respectfully that is. He sounds like a pop singer to me actually. He's a good singer, but just not my kind of sound.

[@DanVasc]

Welcome to the KZbin stage, brother. You're an inspiration. Let's sing together sometime.

[@deboracabe390]

ohhhh yeahhh pleaseeeee 💐❤️

[@gillianflato7797]

Dan, Love your version of "Toss a Coin to the Witcher" and "Hello." I would love to see you and Erik perform a duet.

Thanks man. Ready when you are :-)

Thanks for the support Rod!

@ Oh man, we thank YOU for delivering us such quality and power. It's a true honour, for a 44 year-old rocker like me, to listen to you singing.

[@rhythmicbeast]

One of the best singers covering the best vocalist from Sabbath!!!!!!!!! Amazing job Erik!!!!!!!!

[@jayzippo]

[@TheSimba3062]

Erik is massively talented. Skid Row couldn't have picked a better singer! This is a very difficult song to sing and he totally nails it.

Thanks David!

[@wagnisband]

This voice is the sole reason why I´m attending a Skid Row concert again. Amazing!

[@rika9243]

Sooooo good!!! You are the reason I joined YT. Not a social media person at all otherwise. You are the best!!! And so happy about the good news re your health. I wish you, Ninni and your son the very best!!!

WHAT IN THE NAME OF... I can't believe you did that. Thank you SO much for your incredible generosity!

[@HuiKim-i3w]

Whew, you got it! First time doing this so was keeping my fingers crossed it was going to you. It is just a very small sign of my appreciation for the way you treat your fans and especially for your unbelievable talent!!!

[@musicnutzunite]

I think Vivian's solo on Rainbow is one of the best 80s metal solos along with Randy Rhoads' all-time-greatest "afterbirth" first solo in "Mr. Crowley." But this was a BADASS solo too. Completely original but outstanding in it's own right. Well done fellas. 🤘

[@acdc09]

First off I think it's so great that you are aware and like the Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath. It's sad that that period is overlooked or looked down upon by many I think. Second you did an awesome job at tackling that song hit all those crazy notes and with gusto. Rock On!

[@christerolausson2702]

Tony Martin era is great!

[@kevrosas1]

Can’t understand how this is better than the original. Tony is fantastic but the production and vocal quality here is sublime. Blown away.

[@ZARATUSTRA8511]

WTF? , that's not better than the original. Shut up man.

[@yahyaagainstoppression6211]

Dude.........This is just just just......i don't even know what.....As an old Sabbath fan i can't say anything else than this is beyond awesome! Your voice fits this like a glove and we can all see the emotion and passion that you have while sing this. All and all this is AFAIK THE greatest version of this song ever!

[@berniestuart8323]

[@grassabrutta]

How the hell can there be only 38 thousand subscribers to this channel. Wtf has happened to the world ?

[@lanb16]

This guy is beyond human! He reminds me of Glenn Hughes in the way that you can’t explain how a voice like that can come out of a human body… one day he will be 70 years old and still singing at this level.. guys like him are saving hard rock and metal! ❤

Hade aldrig hört låten innan den dök upp i flödet i din version Grät och frös om vartannat, vad du och din musikalitet gör med människor är att frambringa känslor, känslor som känner att man lever och älskar livet ❤ Sitter och lyssnar på din bok nu där du berättar att detta var första covern du la upp under din behandling, det är inget som märks, det enda man ser är just power!!💪🏻💪🏻 Det sätt du berättar på, ger hopp och styrka till många som lider psykiskt av olika orsaker. Tack för din berättelse ❤Tack för att du bjuder oss på musikalitet av högsta rang om och om igen ❤ Och bara så du vet...Headless cross är numera din, inte Black Sabbaths 😉

[@TheLoner70503]

Choosing this Black Sabbath song and doing it this well is something within the reach of very few.

[@4nanke129]

I finally know how the song should sound! The best covers are usually unique but this one is above the original song by far! Erik is from another planet!

[@refereeLK]

You're the best singer in rock this generation has seen. Absolutely phenomenal 🤯 so glad you've started this channel, the world needs your voice in our lives! 😍

[@estrelamaquinas3248]

Mano vc canta muito parabens

[@aracy_de_almeida]

The best Black Sabbath song. And the best album too.

[@JacksonLedford]

I'm sure you already know (but I'm not sure many others watching this would know) you're singing this a half step HIGHER than the original, which is insane!!! Good work, and I like that your highs actually have heat in them, not a lot of singers do that these days, usually people will go super clean when they go high. You have a different voice than Tony Martin (it's good to sound like yourself), more metal, which is super cool in it's own way, very modern. Also, you have really healthy technique. This is a better cover than others I've seen, great work!

[@uphou]

...what a Voice...what a Talent...unbelieveable...juste great...and impossible to do it better! One of the best Vocals of the "newer Generation"!...take care Erik,God bless you!

[@f14tomcataocretired95]

OUT-FuRkIn-STANDING, I realize I am 2 years behind but Holy Crap! Your passion singing this song shows! You KILLED IT! Should have been yours. You brought it to a Whole Nutha Level from Black Sabbath. Excellent Job Erik and the band and thanks for sharing. All I can say is "HOLY SHIT"!

Best cover of a Black Sabbath song I've ever heard, amazing vocals and great solo too.

[@pamtownsend6309]

This is what Skid Row and us fans have been waiting for; Erik, your voice sounds amazing, and your energy on stage is electrifying. We saw your performance at the MID STATE FAIR on July 25th, and we're blown away; you never missed a beat, and your humble words of happiness to be there, on stage, continues to solidify your spot in Rock n Roll History. Cheers to your dreams coming true!!!

I never have seen anyone beat the original artist. You are the only one. Those lyrics and their syllables are impossible for me. You are a starchild, naturally gifted. Please sing a pharoah song your choice . The singer passed last year. A tribute to him would be amazing. Thanks for making my week . Stay healthy.
