Not a cover band. Not a tribute band. A band that takes a classic, keeps it familiar, but adds enough of their own voice to practically reinvent it. I really do love this band.
I thought it was great, but unnecessary Save it for a Rush cover.. The guitarist looked like he had the worst case of musical blue balls waiting for that solo to end!
This is how you cover a classic song and make it your own while maintaining the integrity of the original.. This is a risky move, but you guys absolutely NAILED IT!
Those drum fills are sooo tasty. It's always fun to see how different drummers approach the fills on this song. Some play the original fills and others let loose with their own flare. This drummer really killed it. Awesome!
After being blown away by "Have a Cigar" this performance piles it on. I went back and checked out some of your earlier stuff and realized that you gentlemen are evolving at warp speed. I absolutely love what you are doing. The creative cover is an art form to itself. Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" utterly eclipsd the Dylan original, and it looks to me like you are doing the same thing. Love your energy, love your creativity, love your music! Keep going!
I'm 62, out of and in Motown. Played a little, listened a lot. Stumbled across these gentlemen while squeezing the Juice from Zeppelin's Lemon song. Floyd's "Have a Cigar",Temp's "Roll'n Stone", etc, etc, etc? People, Please. Happy Holidays!
I've been watching this video for weeks trying to think of a comment I could leave here to describe how awesome this is, but nothing would suffice. I'll just say this is absolutely one of the best things I've ever heard.
solo bolo; so what are you doing to better the entertainment society? There are critics everywhere. This band has REAL talent and they also play original music. Just sit back and listen or go start your own band. I did.
Dudes I'm here cause these fucking boys Jam the fuck out of a Well known Kick-ass Sabbath Anthem and like you Bazza, I like these fuckers! Chops for days.......
Around the 9 - 9:30 mark. This is the face of a man who cannot get the music out of him fast enough..... and it's starting to hurt.... well done friend. Your 'pain' does not go unappreciated. Kudos.
Over a year later.. 44k views... Is this not the original upload? I can't believe that. Who's here before 2mil views? Because that's the minimum of what this performance deserves! This song felt like a journey, which is what a listener feels as a byproduct of true artistic/musical expression. 10/10 cover.
TH-cam did something swell recommending these guys to me the other day. I was in Bloomington 10 years ago as these guys were in there beginning days, and it took me 2 watches of the video to recognize ITS THE MAIN SQUEEZE shiitttt, I used to hang out with Corey the lead singer and his younger brother. Happy to see some real life musicians and talented ass people making it to this point. 2 mil Try 200 mil, people just slow they will catch up
Ok. Just do a cover of everything and I'll only have to listen to one band. You guys are just owning it. I thought Brown Sabbath was the only band that can make it their own, and here you go punching that thought out of my head. You're covers are just so emotional with a kick of super hot sauce. Thank you
The guitar solo made me think of how it might've sounded had Randy Rhoads played on the original for Black Sabbath, and the keyboard solo was otherworldy. This is more than a cover, it is a performance -- even an interpretation. I love it!
Who knew what this song needed was all its heaviness, a keyboard intro riff, and an extended bridge with a keyboard solo? And that bass! I've tried to emulate this sound. Closest I've come is an SM57 in a trash can lined with an old quilted bedspread with a cheap Ampeg 110 blasting into it. Bass is a Squier VMJ with Rotosound Swings on it. Yeah, a cheap bass with a set of strings that cost almost a tenth the price of the bass. Cheapest bass I've ever bought new is one of the two best basses I've ever owned.
That is some prime cut rock and roll. No filler, just meaty goodness. With a slice of unexpected keyboard solo, and a smattering of guitar solo, my pc basically forced me to loop the song indefinitely. As far as I can wager it's been at least an hour. It's now 2am and I probably need help but this song shall do.
Oh Lord, yeah! We need more of this in the world. This blew me away right when I was looking for something, anything good with instruments being played that is current. Even though it's obviously a cover, you guys made it relevant and completely original. This far exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to listen to more of your music. After I listen to this again lol. So so good
So awesome to hear a keys solo that doesn’t suck and then a guitar solo that soars above it all. I love this band and if they come to ATL I’m so there with my people in the front!
Even in the studio when covering a song the direction they take the music feels completely organic and wild like a trip on an uncharted river. they certainly deserve their reputation as being jam masters of the highest order. great great stuff.
I have never liked covers or cover bands as they are sad copies that don't come anywhere near the originals but you guys have leave them in your wake. You have a point of difference from the pack in that you have a variety of tunes that with your many talents do justice to the originals, keep it coming guys.
each of these outstanding musicians has taken their place in the soul of the composer and has understood the songs, the message and interpreted their feelings. You can not cover better.
'After being blown away by "Have a Cigar" this performance piles it on'. - Dan Williams. Indeed! All the musicians are great starting with the guitarist, lead singer, drummer... the synthesizer is especially original and sweet here, right from the beginning and minute 4... brings it to another level.
The addition of the organ sound to the song gives another color to it and it works amazing. Not just another War Pigs cover, just a different take. Great! Really great!
Man, I always loved Black Sabbath not for the metal thing, but for the very strong R&B influence, mainly on Ozzy's singing. You guys seem to turn that R&B stuff up! Real cool!
I am afraid I wont be able to listen to them. It’s like you gotta see their energy playing on TH-cam. They make you feel you’re in the gig with them. Awesome
Wow. What a group of incredible musicians you guys are!! I was hesitant to watch this video because I’m so tired of this song, but you infused some new blood into it. Amazing
So the live version of this the guiatr solo is out of this world! This version the Bass playing in the solo is amazing! Im now hooked on both versions!!
This guy NAILS Ozzy's voice! Overall, sounds like Jon Lord sitting in with Black Sabbath. Only complaint- Guitar need to be louder in the mix. Love this.
also i will sacrifice my soul if you guys record some Santana... or something like a third stone from the sun / gypsy queen mash with vocal improvs... (ok i admit that was strangely specific but you guys would rock the hell out of it)
Man, what a great front man. His voice is like velvet, and he helps make the band instantly likeable on a personal level somehow. Seriously, you get the feeling that these aren't just damn fine musicians, but a great group of guys. Awesome stuff.
We just announced a huge tour! Get your tickets at squeezetour.com and we’ll see you on the road 🤘
Not a cover band. Not a tribute band.

I really do love this band.
100% correct
That's a cover band
@@SubmitToTheBiomass a band that dabbles in covers.
It's almost like they remaster the songs tbh. That's how I think of them at least. Seriously some of the best covers anyone will ever hear though.
@@SubmitToTheBiomass No, a cover band tries to remain faithful to the originals. These guys reinvent
Who sits around and thinks to themselves "what War Pigs needs is a keyboard solo"
But that's exactly what it needed.
I thought it was great, but unnecessary Save it for a Rush cover.. The guitarist looked like he had the worst case of musical blue balls waiting for that solo to end!
Perfect rendition
It reminds me of Kansas.
@@Gyr0mancer Carry on my wayward son... Ok, well maybe don't carry on THAT long! Lol

This is how you cover a classic song and make it your own while maintaining the integrity of the original.. This is a risky move, but you guys absolutely NAILED IT!
Yes yes yes totally 1000% agree. Love it. I love when bands can do good covers and yet make it their own.
Simon Cowell approves of your comment.
I can hear that comment being said in a British accent and a V neck t-shirt
Those drum fills are sooo tasty. It's always fun to see how different drummers approach the fills on this song. Some play the original fills and others let loose with their own flare. This drummer really killed it. Awesome!
I don't think there's one single original fill. Every time you just do it. Different every time if you're doing it right.
The Bassist is such a phenomenal player. Timbre was superb.
The way he weaved the bass around the guitar on that last instrumental part is so freakin beautiful. It gets me every single time
The bass player knows what bass is about, I love listening to him play. So much feel, incredible entertainment.
he has dem sony edfones
It does take a lot of talent to emulate geezer and that man succeeded in the best way possible
I thought the bass was weak on the intro. Geezers bass on the intro in the original is 10 out a 10 @@ammarelatreece9584
Amazed how well the lead singer adapts to different music genres. A true natural and professional

Agreed
Definitely!

Made my day 100%
Beautiful brother. I hear yuh . .
Hahahahaha!!!!! YESSS!!!
Don't you mean the Bong of Destiny? Lmao
holy this guitarist is just a monster, also on the redbone cover, crazy
Dude, check out their Have a Cigar cover, you'll be amazed at the solo
He has babies with the sg. It’s the best sex scene ever.
The guitar solo made me think of how it might've sounded had Randy Rhoads played on the original for Black Sabbath, and the keyboard solo was otherworldy. This is more than a cover, it is a performance -- even an interpretation. I love it!
Who ever knew war pigs needed keys?? Right on time
I wish you guys got more recognition, because y'all are awesome.
Aren Ramone yes wtf?! This was in my feed yesterday and it blew me away. These guys are on another level
Too many people who no taste in music.. sadly.
@@paintedwolf8394 they have a lot actually
Agreed

Absolutely love the keyboards! Kind of an early Deep Purple vibe.
The keyboardist... this is it! This is it. This is what we didn't know how to say but everyone felt. THANK YOU.

Do in the light or achellies last stand
Agreed! I think these guys could do an epic performance of "In the Light"
YES
Achellies last stand would be sick
Achillies last stand is my favorite song
BOTH WOULD BE AMAZING. PLEASE DO.
Even in the studio when covering a song the direction they take the music feels completely organic and wild like a trip on an uncharted river. they certainly deserve their reputation as being jam masters of the highest order. great great stuff.
You know, I always wanted to see John Paul Jones reproduce War Pigs.
Excellent Work Men.
Now, I'm gonna finish Watching.
Get back to ya...
Bravo! I mean, the whole thing, but my God, Smiley's solo. Bravo! Thank you.
I think the best thing about this band is the way every member is amazed by the other's talent

You have a point of difference from the pack in that you have a variety of tunes that with your many talents do justice to the originals, keep it coming guys.
But they're not just w cover band, they have original music, they just happen to crush covers too 😌
@@greysautumn398 Their originals are equally amazing. So many styles. You never think it's gonna work but it always does!
each of these outstanding musicians has taken their place in the soul of the composer and has understood the songs, the message and interpreted their feelings. You can not cover better.
Easy to focus on the mind blowing guitar solos....But, don't sleep on the rest of the band too, bass player especially. He was doing some work!
Work from home was missing an absolute shred of a key solo, so thank you for that.
My favorite bands come from the late 60s, 70s, and 80s. Listening to these guys, even studio stuff, is akin to me hearing Zep for the first time.
this keyboard is mindblowing
Sabbath would've included a keyboard player instantly if they heard a cover like this in their days
Absolutely.

You guys are fantastic! Your cover of Have A Cigar is hands down, imo, the best Floyd cover I've ever heard.
Love the interpretations these guys have. Wish you were coming to Texas on your tour.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my Gooooood! What a hell of a version right here! This guys KILLED it. Singer rocks and the solo dudes nailed it!
I love it when black guys sing heavy metal. Of course Jimi was king. Now, if only Patti LaBelle will answer my dream and do a metal cover album.
Check out King's X. You're welcome.
This gave me the chills. I appreciate the good music and respect the musical talent of all the band. Thank you guys
That bass at 8:44~10:00
Otávio Ertzogue it’s so cool!
Kanye on bass
Fr don't forget about the bass hahahaha

The keyboard solo sounded a lot like Dream Theater. Awesome cover.
More like Snarky Puppy.
@@jonathanwalther like a two way i'd say
I thought the same thing - definitely shades of Learning to Live's synth solo. So good.
Tiago Cardoso Bastos. Kind of Kevin Moore or Derek Sherinian
I will never have the pleasure of hearing this again for the first time. Brilliant.
Prog Sabbath? Great cover.
It sounds like a 3 way between Sabbath, Dream Theatre and Sun Ra! Holy cow
It s sounds like Rick Wackeman meets Funkadelic
Think this is good? Check out their cover of No Quarter.
All we need,now, are some King Crimson covers.
Sabbath were prog
I am afraid I wont be able to listen to them. It’s like you gotta see their energy playing on TH-cam. They make you feel you’re in the gig with them. Awesome
Wow. What a group of incredible musicians you guys are!! I was hesitant to watch this video because I’m so tired of this song, but you infused some new blood into it. Amazing

iousdeeva good call dude. i will commit hara kiri!
Some Hendrix?? Yes please.
They have originals that are absolutely killer too.
Wasn’t anticipating the keyboard to fit, but my god that was incredible. As usual, another DIRTY rendition across the board
!!! Every single person involved in this video is doing quality quality work!
So good..... These dudes are funking up "War Pigs"..... so freakin' good
Id say the keyboard player is blessed by Ray Manzarek
Or george duke
Sprinkle in some Rick Wright.
Ray Who?
Monje Loco Played electric organ and electric bass in a very famous band from Los Angles called The Doors
And the bass player was fathered by kanye
2:19 slap the baSS 🔥🔥
Yes to all this! Smiley and Max solos = #freshlysquozen
I love the way the bass player plays on all the tracks, The drummer is absolutly awesome
This had me jamming so hard in the middle of my college campus. All the looks I got were so worth it. Absolutely in love with this cover
Holly shit was the best Sabbath Cover I have ever heard. I am blown away I would love to see these guys live. thanks for posting this.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE HOLY MOLY
incredible. you make me love songs that have been around for decades that I never really cared for.
Mate you have earned a subscriber. You deserve more views anyways keep playing good music the world baby needs it.

Who would even think about thumbing down this?! Amazing!!!!!!
Professional soundmen who hear the vocals midrange levels drowning out the guitar and bass and ruining an otherwise great performance.
My favorite cover ever... Ever!
When your voice is so powerful you have to have your own room.
The drummers smile at about 1:06 is one of my favorite parts of this video. That's joy.
Sorry, 1:03 ish heh
They are playing Atlanta?!? Imma get tickets tonight hell yea
You are just crazy and awesome, I listen to you every day, keep rocking!!!!!!
Do some more pink Floyd....pleasssssseeee!! 🤗
They already did Have A Cigar and it was fucking amazing
@@cowsaysboo ... I think that's why he said some MORE pink floyd :)
This Sunday! Dark Side in its entirety!
Good session of jamming DSOTM but the production quality wast up there. I would love if they would do singles like how they did Have a cigar.
I heard Sabbath do this live many, many years ago.
They created it. You turned it into a new galaxy in the night sky.
Purely badass 🤘🏽🍊
So much soul and passion, I love these guys
you guys are the bomb
Hits the Spot .. very good musicianship.. very enjoyable.. Thank you for the ride
I loved the guitar! Wish it was a little bit louder in the mix
It is so encouraging to see real musicians producing the music they love, creative versions is where it is 'at'
This whole band is really good, but that cat can play some MF'ing guitar for real.
And their cover of Have a Cigar!
Their Have a Cigar is mind numbing
Of course he can play. It’s easy when your instrument is connected to your soul.
Please don't stop playing music like this. For our next generation
"Why yes, War Pigs does need a keyboard solo"-everyone
That keyboard solo! It's like listening to Kieth Emmerson for the first time. Gobsmacked!
HOLY GOD if there was ever a way to use a moog in this song, that was IT. Go Smiley, go.
Just found these guys...thought nearly the same, wlda never thought...crazy awesome
I stumbled on this band and... they kick major ass!! huge talent.
Phenomenal
I'd place this in my top 5 covers of all time, just awesome.
The guitar player is on fire. Iml
Whipped away to the astral plane. Well done! Nailed it!
Walking around at work with a giant stupid grin loving this.
