[@youkenez]

That's quite an achievement to alter this sacred song the way they did it. It's neither a blind cover nor a reinterpretation. Instead, it both preserves the original and extends it in an organic way.

[@mephetran1]

These guys, man....it's annoying how talented every single one of them is. Not only do they show exceptional skill on their instrument, but they work incredibly well together. The result is perfection!

[@mike67006700]

@Odell Mateo he's talented though

[@markdoumert4840]

Odell Mateo As a drummer myself, I personally enjoy listening to the way he’s playing it. I think he did a lot of things in this song very well, but I do agree that he keeps the intensity up way too high for the entire song. It’s a great piece of drumming to listen to, but I think it detracts from the song as a whole. As a drummer your job is to serve the music first. Some songs constitute a lot of complexity and long fills, but I think he overdid it on this one.

[@leskobrandon691]

It may have just been the mix. That was obviously straight from the soundboard. I thought it sounded great. If you watch him on have a cigar, they are in a small room and he plays very low key and restrained.

Great energy and feel on the end lead with the guitarist..he has to be atleast 6'5"..lol loved it all! Bravo!

[@hruodvan7081]

I already commented on this. I have always said, this song by Black Sabbath is a perfect blend of Hard Rock & Funk!!

Sounds a bit like Deep Purple playing Sabbath , but in stead of having a full blown screamer to on vocals they’ve got a guy who can really bring some of that big bluesy soulful feel of the original . Absolutely blinding cover !

I am a massive doom metal fan. Electric Wizard, Sleep, Uncle Acid, and..... Of course..... Black Sabbath. You guys are great, and your cover of Redbone turned me onto you just a few hours ago. I had hoped to find a Black Sabbath cover, but wasn't holding my breath. Then I find this. This absolutely blew me away. Extremely true and faithful yet diverse and different. That synth solo was absolutely fucking crazy. I have dredged through a few boring, straight covers of War Pigs. I hope Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Bill see this. Tony Iommi is my personal idol (along with Matt Pike of Sleep/High on Fire), and the guitarist and the synth player did him justice. Really, this is righteous. Powerful. Hair raising. I love this, and I love you. Peace.
