[@12luiguti]

can't believe this song is almost 50 years old, it sounds so fresh!

Times havnt changed, globalists still playing the world. We are waking up.

The victory of the allied nations caused this conditioning you speak of.

Any Sabbath fan, or fan of Ozzy would appreciate this one, amen brothers......

Yep So true 🔥

That bassist is on point. Talent in this whole lineup.

Damn it - 6 Yrs ago ? I feel cheated, that I've never seen this.

[@daveb2087]

This is by far my favorite War Pigs cover. Period. Love your vocals Sterling. The Suns of Static are pretty good as well.

[@SterlingRJackson]

Thanks Dave 😊

[@kleyson79]

I agree! I've found out this amazing video only yesterday while I was washing my car...then I thought "what?! This sounds great!!" and went to see it. Since then I've watched it over and over again. All musicians are damn good! Congrats from Brazil.

[@sauceonem2550]

Holy fucking fuck, I don’t think I can think of a better cover than this. What I love is the small, original add ons in this song. The fills, the vocals are so unique but fit the song so perfect, the distortion, all of it. Fucking badass as fuck 🤘🏽

[@gabicordless5531]

AGREE!

[@Robsve-y1h]

You guys shoud NOT check out Rival Sons - War pigs cover at the grammys then🤯

[@jondepaul2372]

Well said

[@jeffreyjustice6052]

dude I love how the bass sits in the mix, Sounds so good

[@spencermartin5622]

Thinking the same thing. Ripping tone!

[@christianschneider5352]

Yeah same! Finally a band that gives the bass a lot of space!

[@rbm115]

Not only that, bassist is a lefty, i was keep thinking why the bottom bass string keeps on hitting in open E yet no treble sound, then i figured out, he was holding it as a lefty. now that's gnarly!

[@pyrosquid3653]

Love it when a bass player takes his craft seriously and isn't just trying to fatten the sound for other musicians! 😎

[@bangamullet]

And this man has his bass strung upside down! Never seen that before.

[@pyrosquid3653]

@@bangamullet He's a left-handed player and his bass is strung for a right-hander. I imagine he started playing by borrowing other players' instruments.

[@rbm115]

@@pyrosquid3653 I know, i was wondering why the bassist keeping hitting the open E, yet no treble, i figured midway of the song, the bass guitar is tuned for a right hander and the guy playing is a lefty. he should have strange shape arppegios haha.

[@SraeSirena]

All his videos are on point 👌

[@rickyellis242]

As a huge Sabbath fan, I loved it. Still just as relevant today.

[@SterlingRJackson]

[@rov3r698]

Unfortunately still relevant in 2022. Great version.

[@jeremytodd77]

I bet it was awesome to be able to write music of this length back then and people actually had the attention span and appreciation to listen to the whole song. The good ol' days of music I guess?

[@foxinahoodie]

Jeremy Sutherland Amen. As someone born far later than this song was initially released, I've found myself almost ignoring songs that are 6+ minutes. Thankfully, I've broken myself of that habit and have stumbled upon some amazing music as a result.

[@1969ryson]

The same goes for songs like bohemian rhapsody. Radio didn't want to play it because of the length of the song. But once they did they got more requests for it than stations could handle.

[@sapphirejynx]

I hate short songs. I LOVE these long tracks that tell a story or convey great messages like this.

[@jrjubach]

Jeremy Sutherland or be able to listen to an entire album from front to back! Remember those days?

[@tysheehan95]

I think about that all the time dude...its sad. People these says have the attention span of a walnut.

[@chronicmango]

One of those songs you only cover if you’re gonna nail the hell out of it. And done.

[@anglwscbdwng7847]

Bill Ward is far from easy to cover. Precisely done here. Geezers vibrations are well depicted here too. Glad someone turned me on to this. I’m old and this song has returned to the fore of my listening lately. Impressive. Glad there’s no attempt to reproduce Ozzy here but the song done in his own voice. Time well spent listening to this.

[@Drenwickification]

I absolutely love the bass in the intro

[@danielgonzalez2042]

[@ericdufort5648]

Kudos to whoever mixed this. Bass sits well, gnarly tone.

[@LeeJoRo]

This made my beard grow. Awesome cover

[@shaneplatt3128]

Absolutely hands down the best version of War Pigs I have ever heard. If these guys aren't signed to a major label and making millions, it's a f*cking travesty!

[@biffmalibu9488]

Wow...a left-handed Bill Ward and a left-handed Geezer Butler. NICE!!! (I'm a lefty too).

[@ryanbennett7806]

Left handed bassist playing a left hand bass but strung like a righty!!

[@wolfwolf7246]

I was a kid when first heard this song, and 50 years later l still love it. A rare breed of songs. 🙌

[@denkho6118]

I came here from the future to say that this cover still ROCKS! As well as the rest of Sterling's channel.

[@scottkelley693]

I'm blown away, I have read through the comments and how tf has no one pointed out the bass player is in god mode with the bass strung upside down, OMG!

[@victorlewis2879]

Ozzy would b proud well done one of the best covers I've heard

[@SleeplessSwan7]

Ravi's healing voice strikes again...

[@WhiplashMetalStudios]

This song will never ever get old. Great cover guys!

[@codyscovers2864]

One of the best Sabbath covers I've heard.

[@seymourdemonica9264]

The little switch ups, like with the clean guitar arpeggios towards the end and the mix on the bass, make this cover its own. And the vocalist has a satisfying gruffness to his voice as he comes out of the higher pitches. Amazing stuff! You actually did a better job of covering this than Faith No More, and I was already a fan of that one!

[@ellzietwinkle1089]

Yeah, I'm a big Mike Patton Fan. His vocals were fantastic with I'm just a man & so many others, but his cover of War Pigs was not too good. I think he could've done better.

[@lincolntube]

2022 and this lyric is still up to date with our reality!

[@pkdiddy]

Is that bass guitar strung upside down, ie high to low vs low to high?

[@tkrauss]

pkdiddy That took me literally 4 minutes into this to realize what was going on there. its a left handed bass, played left handed, strung high to low. There's extra skill right there playing it that way!

[@pkdiddy]

Glad I'm not going crazy.

[@sfriend6782]

pkdiddy ?

[@AlexChristanis]

i think it's a bass guitar for Right handed people but the dude is left handed so he plays it as a left handed Bass even though the strings are set for right handed people.

[@jadenmckeith7940]

@@AlexChristanis bruh look at the headstock and the way the body is shaped. He just put the strings on backwards😂

[@joelvinson]

I only listen to this when I need to cry tears of joy. This is so fucking amazing.

[@jerrysmith2461]

Ozzy has got to be the hardest voice to cover even if you do a different style, props to this guy for trying eventhough he’s like 10% of Ozzy’s level

[@SterlingRJackson]

You realize this comment goes to me right? Not to someone else. You’re saying things to me.
