As a Sabbath fan since 1969 and an old musician that has covered many of their songs, I’m amazed at how you managed to retain the heavy foreboding feel of this. I never would have thought this possible, but what a great rendition, you’ve done Sabbath and yourself proud. 👍 Well done.

HOLY CRAP!!! As a musician, I LOVE the chord choices and the arrangement. I've seen Puddles Pity Party many times, and have enjoyed it. I've always liked the song, which is what drove me to this video. But I was not expecting how great this sounded. Puddles, you KILLED it. Great job.

[@jeffatkinson8432]

As someone that grew up the son of a piano teacher and vocal coach, I pick up on things easily and I can say this with confidence. Been trying to put my finger on why Puddles voice stands out so uniquely amongst singers. And finally figured it out. His tone, his vibrato, and his inflection give off a very uncommon ethereal sound. It resonates at a naturally high volume and pierces the air with his beautifully trained voice. He's in a select category of rare singing ability.

[@ThePewdieslender]

Really reminds me of Dio at times. Look up Puddles cover of Holy Diver with Primus. He's incredible

[@UberLummox]

[@JBauman-fq6rq]

As a "child" of the original version - it captured the rage I felt during the late 60's and 70's. Now as an "old man", the rendition is a terrific lament underscoring the continued reality of the wars we (and others) continue to fight today. There is a time for war (even today) and a time for peace, but it feels that in the world today, those who control our fate do not appreciate the difference.

[@heidi22209]

Yes. Indeed... War Pigs is timeless. It's mind blowing to me that you have to remind kids this isn't original.

[@audreymuzingo933]

Other than Weird Al, can you name anyone famous for cover work?

[@Music4MyBrain]

@@audreymuzingo933 Actually, numerous big-name artists do cover versions all the time. It all comes down to how it is presented. Whitney Houston as an example never wrote any of her hits and one of her biggest hits ever "I will always love you" is a cover of a song written and originally performed by Dolly Parton. As a second example, Adele did the song "Hiding my Heart Away" which is a cover of a song originally on a Brandi Carlile album but written by a different individual. Adele and Whitney were already megastars and got away with not mentioning who did the original song while lesser-known artists will get attacked for it (or not having the money to fix the problem).

[@audreymuzingo933]

@@Music4MyBrain Of course, but that's not what I meant. I was talking about any famous artists who do ONLY covers. I thought that was obvious, as I mentioned Weird Al. The OP can't understand why this Puddles isn't more famous. I'm asserting that no matter how good a cover act is, they're not going to get famous if they don't write any of their own songs. And even Weird Al doesn't cover songs 'straight'; he changes the lyrics to make the songs humorous.

[@TDOBrandano]

@@audreymuzingo933 To be fair, Weird Al does parodies more than covers. Off the top of my head I can think of only one relatively known band specializing in covers, and that is Novelle Vague. However there's a few cover songs that have become way more well known than the original, like Soft Cell's version of Gloria Jones's Tainted Love, Gary Jules's cover of Tear for Fear's Mad World, or Johhny Cage's cover of NIN's Hurt.

[@Music4MyBrain]

@@audreymuzingo933 Everyone who doesn't write their own music does covers which is the giant majority of singers/bands. And numerous of them have become rich and famous without writing any songs. The difference is the money. Some of them do get their own songs when a music company is behind them but their music still wasn't written by them in this case either (winners of x-factor, the voice, etc. as an example) Puddles is as talented or more talented than the giant majority of them.

I think this may Puddle's best video yet. I am proud to say I discovered him very early, actually wearing his T-shirt as I type. Puddles is showing the way for future artists on how to make an impact on your audience. He arrived on scene out of the blue and really changed the way I view music. He's the most authentic performer I have ever found. It's truly high grade entertaiment, a real talent and joy to watch and listen to.

Hello Puddles and thank you for this excellent version of this great Sabbath track! I love the subtle tweaks you put into the melody, and your vocal is brilliant and heartfelt as always... maybe even more than usual? Also l must thank you for your impeccable diction as a singer...l have never clearly heard some of the lyrics until now. I am not sure l understand what it is you are "doing", and l am not sure you do either. But l can certainly tell that what you do is no "act", and it is best to enjoy your brilliance in the unique manner in which you have chosen to present it. There is a meaning to it which l think connects to people on a deep level but l have given up trying to analyze it...l am just thrilled that you are out there sharing yourself with all of us. I think, like you, we are all clowns crying on the inside.

This is by far one of, if not the best, interpretation of a song I've seen so far, absolutely brilliant, even Ozzy himself would have to agree, imo.

[@JudgeLazar]

I do a lot of research and sourcing for a group of war journalists and as a result I am neck deep in the human tragedy in Ukraine right now. This was just absolutely so far beyond powerful for me. I'm a huge Sabbath fan as is and this cover really drives home the message of this song. I can't really say much more than that. It moved me deeply, to tears, especially your face at the end. The embodiment of stepping back, looking at humanity from the outside and wondering what the hell we are doing.

[@TheSaintedOne]

After doing the research, I stand AGAINST Ukraine's government. I stand with the people of Ukraine AND Russia. I'm deeply saddened by their suffering at the hands of the globalist war machine. F the war pigs.

Your reaction is priceless. Thank you for sharing, and stay safe out there. What you're doing matters.

Another brilliant cover Thank you! ❤️🔥🔥🔥 Make love not War....

[@blackholebrain1264]

BRAVO PUDDLES, BRAVO! I really started tearing up on that one. One of the most profound songs ever written. It's sad that ever since that song was written not a day has gone by when it was not pertinent because of some war somewhere in the world.

[@tirecarcare]

Absolutely.

[@karinasamaniego8765]

I just recently found this gem. ❤️ I never heard this song so I listened (or tried to) to the original and couldn't stand it. Not a fan of theirs anyway. But I love, love, love your version. Your voice is beautiful.

[@Walmays]

All his covers are awesome. Check out "Rainbow in the Dark" and "Holy Driver". Also "Crazy Train"

[@geneard639]

My cousins introduced me to this song in '69, after they were drafted and came home right before being shipped out to Viet Nam....and....years later when I joined the Navy I often came back to this song and others wondering.... This cover? Far more impactful than any other I've heard.

What a powerful rendition of a classic song. One that's just as relevant now, as when Black Sabbath did it. Puddles brings the heat with this one.

WOW!!!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!! That was absolutely fantastic!!!! Such an original cover Great Job!!!! You’ve totally captured the ominous prediction and the piano is as heavy, beautiful and dark as it can get!!! Ag, Well Done!!!

Holy frickin crap!! One of my all time favorite songs. I never could have imagined that I would hear it this way but I loved it. Good God man please keep doing what you're doing! I truly enjoy your talent and thank you.

[@rikiba851]

I must play Sabbath's War Pigs on occasion. One of the most powerful songs for peace that us mere plebs can use as a reminder of what power pushes in our name. And with our hands and faces. No other rendition of this song has ever felt like a worthy cover. Before now. Thank you mysterious clown.

[@Rook0759]

i agree this version is epic+. really does it justice. but....when you say NO OTHER rendition was worthy...i can't h elp but wonder if you are familiar with Faith No More's version? before this, i was convinced no other version was worthy lol...now im of the opinion while very different...both are equally worthy.

[@Clarachk]

Puddles has a way of making one actually hear and pay attention to the lyrics. This is a really beautifully done cover. The piano music is hauntingly beautiful and lends itself perfectly to this rendition.

[@oliverzelmer3938]

Absolutely amazing! It's a great song, but your voice makes it awesome! Greetings from Germany!

[@rpgden4553]

Amazing. Even when you strip all the metal out, this song is still so heavy.

[@akplayz1154]

Awesome rendition, you never cease to amaze Puddles! Again, the amount of expression in your face exudes volumes of feeling.

[@foetwenny]

Probably the most timeless song ever. It will be relevant from the dawn of man til the very end. Amazing cover!
