Surprisingly good sure, but faithful? A *lot* changed in major ways. A "faithful" cover would just be straight up playing the Black Sabbath version. He didn't do that, by any stretch, and he knocked it out of the park.
I feel like many people forget that T-Pain is actually a phenomenal singer without the auto tune, but to hear him singing a classic metal song is simply insane. Great cover. Got a great set of pipes.
He should never use auto tune again. His voice is supernatural. He could easily hack as a Sabbath singer along with Ozzy, Dio and Tony Martin. One of the best voices I've ever heard. It is a crime for him to use auto tune.
@@_Clem_H_Fandango_ It’s not autotuned, there’s no pitch correction in this. I think what most people get confused is hearing him on the masked singer or Tiny Desk where he’s just performing versus a studio recording. It’s gonna sound more digital because of the mix, but if you listen to any other T-Pain song with autotune and then listen to this you’ll hear the difference between his autotuned voice and non-autotuned voice.
I'm an old Black Sabbath fan. This song was always legendary, and I NEVER thought it should ever be covered by anyone......but.....this is awesome. Well done.
This should be a textbook lesson in how you make a cover. Stay true to the spirit of the original, but make it new and authentically yours at the same time. As a lifelong Sabbath fan, I don't think I've ever heard a cover of this song that I wanted to come back to and listen to again, but this is an instant classic.
Bruh... Metal is closer to classical music than any of those generes, this version doesn't even sound close to original war pigs... It's not even metal... neither is the original technically speaking....
Literally never in 1000 years would I have expected T-Pain to put this out. Freakin AWESOME! I'm a metalhead too, and couldn't have saw this coming from a mile away.
Yeah this blew me away. As a lifelong Sabbath fan who has heard dozens of covers, this blows them all out of the water. He fucking KILLED it. This should be being played on the radio 30 years from now along with great classics.
He doesn't seem to use it the entire song. The parts he does use it, it is to electrify his voice like a guitar. His use of vocal vibrato on those parts seems to replicate an electric guitar. It's incredibly impressive. Not only does he have sick vocal chops, he knows when and how to use effects to push things over the edge.
Personally, when I was in my early teenage years (13/14) I listened to a lot of rap, pop, hiphop and mainstream rock, and then my music transitioned to heavier and other genres with a big focus on classic rock when I was about 15/16. This is a perfect fusion of everything I know and love. When I saw this come up on my sxm radio in the car yesterday I was like holy crap, is this real? I was instantly in love. Came back to listen today, as this song is an absolute banger. This one gets a standing ovation from me! ❤
Pretty sure that isn't autotune. It's some weird flanger effect coupled with a heavy chorus effect; plus loads of reverb. He might have used ProTools to fix any flat/sharp notes, though.
@@randywissler9923 The issue is that people thought he was using it as a crutch, but it was pretty apparent from the start for anyone who had a brain (no offense) that it was a stylistic choice.
This is one of the truest, most genuine Black Sabbath covers ever. T captures all the emotion, meaning, and purpose of the song. It has the right amount of heaviness, proving that something doesn't have to be thrash metal to be heavy, and I enjoy the jazzy flourishes thrown in throughout. And the best part is that it fully captures the sound of the era in which the song came out, 1970. This is solid. I'm a new fan of T-Pain.
I'm here because I heard that Ozzy loved this cover. I agree. What a voice😮I'm an old school Black Sabbath fan and it is so awesome to hear this message is still out there. War sucks.
Aside from the blinking T-Pain scaring me at first.. I was absolutely blown away by your rendition of an iconic Rock song! Much respect and definitely saving it to my favorites!
Blinking T-Pain is almost as terrifying as the subject of the song. I dig the cover, though - I gotta see how many Black Sabbath covers I can find and make a playlist
Resident metalhead here, T Pain covering Black Sabbath in 2023 wasn't on my list of expectations, but he absolutely crushed this. I could go for more metal covers from this fine gentleman!
I'm getting Lenny Kravitz, Prince and James Brown vibes while still absolutely feeling the original Black Sabbath grittiness that defines the song but knowing without a doubt this is a T Pain production. An absolute masterpiece.
Gotta love the 2023 version of this and also this is gonna be for the survivor series wargame theme song about time but the original one from Black Sabbath legendary
This is incredible! This is hard rock meets black gospel church and T-Pain kills it! The arrangement is very smart and makes the musician in me nerd out picking out the intricacies in each part. I want to see more pop stars do justice to classic rock songs like T-Pain just did!
Im a metalhead and this is a better cover than most metal bands can do. I never expected Ozzy Osborne meets soul. It captures the magic of the original song while adding his unique spin to it
Damn, this one's going straight into the playlist. Lots of the early Black Sabbath stuff slides well into soul and blues. But THIS is phenomenal. The maximum effort organ riffs between verses matching the vibe of the drums in the original. The instrumentals and the ICONIC T-Pain voice effects give enough of that unique flair we know, but T-Pains legendary vocals that we love are allowed to shine. Top tier, iconic, legendary.
Mad respect! As a life long Black Sabbath fan, T-Pain killed it! Definitely did "War Pigs" justice! I'm sure Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill appreciate this! 🤘🏽
i agree! its not easy to cover sabbath and not butcher it and i wasnt even a tpain fan, but he made it his own and absolutely killed it. true artist shit if you ask me! i need to take back all the shit ive talked about the guy cuz damn!
Agreed, I bet Sabbath are proud! (if they've heard it) Such an iconic anti-war song that transcends genres and generations! Great job, T-Pain! I'm blown away by this! 🤘
What makes this amazing is that it amplifies one of the fundamentals in black Sabbath thats often overlooked. Black Sabbath was, inherently incredibly funky alot of the time! Fat bass lines slinky guitar strings
On his first album most of the choruses are his voice straight up without auto tune. And he’s singing his ass off. It’s just the ad libs and verses that have auto tune on it is what people remember the most because he was the first person to use it so aggressively that it added a texture to the performance that was groundbreaking at the time. But all the background harmonies and all that is him with no auto tune. Hell I didn’t even realize it until I saw him on a video talking about how most people don’t even realize most of his first album is singing straight up because he’s known for the aggressive auto tune sound.
Amazing! I feel like I'm at an old southern church tent revival! Preach on T-Pain! Preach on! I can still remember how revolutionary this song was when it was released on the Paranoid album in 1970 at the height of the Vietnam War. That was 53 years ago, where do the years go? And still we have learned nothing as we repeat our same past mistakes in Ukraine today. The world needs this version of this song as much today as it needed the original in 1970! Thanks for sharing it!
If you told me 10 years ago T-Pain would release a cover of one of my favorite songs of all time and it would be an absolute banger I would not for one second believe you... But here it is. GOD DAMN THIS SLAPS 🤘🤘
Dude has a great Metal voice. Who knew? This is great! It’s unique but pays homage to the original. Mad respect to T Pain. This song is timeless. Sometimes we forget and we need to take a look back at the past so that we don’t repeat the catastrophes of senseless war. May humanity one day build a home without war, violence & destruction.
"a home without war, violence & destruction" is literally Heaven. I'd like to say: accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and you'll be able to experience that place, someday!
@TheAtomicPunk anytime there is a "but", it's going to be that way lol "I'm not judging but..." "I'm not racist but..." "I don't want to push my religion but..." "I'm not homophobic but..." Lol every. single. time.
This is why you can’t put walls up for different genres or generations. As a 69 year old lover of Black Sabbath I have to say this was innovative, inspiring and awesome. MORE is my only request 👍🏻🤟🤟
T pain did an amazing job on this cover but can we also show the Drummer and band some love on this one ! Banger for metalheads and tpain fans alike ! Love and respect my ppl ❤
Holy shit...as a life-long metalhead & Sabbath fan, this is truly amazing!! The "now in darkness world stops turning" section, the chord progression and vocal performance is just absolutely stellar!! Gave me chills... 10/10
W T F? Dude, this is absolutely amazing. What a voice!!!!! I've always liked your music and creativity but being more of a rock/metal guy, I never really explored too deep. You sir, absolutely nailed this shit. Much respect. Seriously looking forward to more tracks like this, origianl or cover. Great job!
With this being said I can’t be the only one that got goose bumps from this? T-pain literally said hold my beer I’ll show ya an awesome Black Sabbath war pig cover. He absolutely nailed it out of the park. Sat here just jamming to it completely.
Covering iconic songs is top tier difficulty. The question is How to hold true to the original while making it yours? T-pain has achieved legend status with this answer to that question.
Metal head from day one. This is one of my favorite protest songs, possibly the best Vietnam protest song. T-Pain absolutely Re-Forged this metal masterpiece with a bit more funk, soul, and R&B. Bravo Sir, we salute you!🤘🤘🤘
Wonderful cover. Just phenomenal vocals. Invented a new sub genre here! Gospel Sabbath! As a metal band, this level of performance is something to aspire to. I personally was a hip hop head in the 90s and still love it. So glad to see my favorite genres blending so well.
This is simply beautiful. Made me have chills. I love his take on a metal classic. I hope he does more covers. Bring T-Pain back to the light of Metal!
I'm currently bedridden but somehow this is giving me life. I'm really glad to be alive to hear this. Hopefully when I'm well again i can experience this live one day.
Wow! I did not know what to expect, but THIS is what I want from covers. It captures the energy of the original while doing something very different. Hell yeah!
T-Pain and Black Sabbath were both very important in my musical upbringing. Also yall need to hear his verse on black and yellow g-mix, that shit is so fire
IM BEGGING YOU T PAIN. LORD IN HEAVEN, MAKE MORE COVER ALBUMS!!!! These are some of the best quality covers ive seen in a long time, maybe do some folk rock and see what other genres you can master. You’ve certainly got the voice to do whatever genre you put your mind to
Fantastic cover! Reminds me of Corey Glover from Living Color and that's meant as an absolute compliment. Like it's been said all up and down the comments, this is probably the best cover of this song I've heard.
The time and effort put into this cover is amazing, and it's done well with respect to the original while putting their original spin on it. This is what covers are supposed to be like.
Yes. It's his personal interpretation rather than a straight cover and it is so much better that way. This song is a metal masterpiece. As a lifelong Sabbath fanatic, and as someone who has never been into T-Pain, this is easily the best cover of a Sabbath song I've ever heard by a country mile. T-Pain is a music genius (never thought I'd say that!).
Listening to a very faithful cover of War Pigs while T-pain blinks slowly at me, lovingly with a rose in his mouth... very surreal experience.
Right? I don't know how to feel... I just know I'm jamming tf out to it \m/
VERY SENSUAL
"Very faithful" is a stretch. It's pretty damn cool, but the only thing it's faithful to the original with is the vocals.
😅😂😂
Surprisingly good sure, but faithful? A *lot* changed in major ways. A "faithful" cover would just be straight up playing the Black Sabbath version. He didn't do that, by any stretch, and he knocked it out of the park.
Now all we need is Ozzy covering I'm in Love With a Stripper to have this all come full circle.
Most underrated comment ever 😂
Sharon might not appreciate that much lol
epic
Ultimate Sin-era Ozzy could've made that work.
I can see Ozzy doin that shit. Ozzy that dude
Because Black Sabbath was so rooted in blues and jazz, it sounds like a sick Stevie Wonder jam from back in the funkadelic days. Epic.
Didn't hear the Funkadelic till you said it but especially on the back half of the track they ended up In a very Funkadelic esque sound
I can definitely hear that
Black Sabbath was blues, jazz, RnB, gospel and funk. Just look deep in the tracks and it’s all in there.
@@catlyst8563yep Effie Hazel's influence all over those solos
Was thinking it sounds like if Living Colour had decided to cover War Pigs but Stevie works too. Nice.
Soul Metal needs to be a thing, this cover is awesome.
Soul metal basically rock n roll
It completely is lol where u been , my baby? Soul metal is actually funk when u think about it. George Clinton got that on lock
Blame Elvis
I think he means as a term. And I agree.
Check out the soul metal mashups from bill McClintock on yt
I feel like many people forget that T-Pain is actually a phenomenal singer without the auto tune, but to hear him singing a classic metal song is simply insane. Great cover. Got a great set of pipes.
Masked singer showed me his awesome voice
He should never use auto tune again. His voice is supernatural. He could easily hack as a Sabbath singer along with Ozzy, Dio and Tony Martin. One of the best voices I've ever heard. It is a crime for him to use auto tune.
I just literally said the same thing before coming to look this up
Surely you don't really think he's NOT using autotune. I can plainly hear that autotune in his recording. Great cover though

So did Puddles Pity Party, but T-Pain's version is the best!
Same here!
Cake did it pretty well, too

I couldn't agree more!!!
the cardigans did a super unique iron man cover for their first band on the moon album
The Cake cover is pretty sweet not sure if you've heard it ir not but it's pretty kick ass imo
Faith No More’s cover is pretty fantastic
Disturbed’s cover of Sound of Silence should be here also
There is perhaps no better example of the roots of metal being in soul, jazz, and blues. This is an extremely cool cover
We wuz kangz!!!
It's definitely clear here.
yeah i really dig it
Good call
Bruh... Metal is closer to classical music than any of those generes, this version doesn't even sound close to original war pigs... It's not even metal... neither is the original technically speaking....

Same!!!
What if I told you he was always like this? You just hate hip hop culture because you're a snob
Yeah most of music is shit that holds zero appeal to me, but hes great at what he does and this cover album fucking RIPS
Ever since he turned out to be the monster on Masked Singer
You should check out his NPR concert it's acoustic, you can really hear how much his voice is beautiful
Literally never in 1000 years would I have expected T-Pain to put this out. Freakin AWESOME! I'm a metalhead too, and couldn't have saw this coming from a mile away.

If you like Rage Against the Machine, Killing in the name of cover by Denzel Curry. Another Hip hop artist cover
"I'm a metalhead" sure thing poser
Same bro shit blew my mind sideways
I wouldn't go to a T-pain rap concert, but I would go to a T-Pain Black Sabbath concert
It's easy to forget that T-pain is an actually talented musician and the auto-tune is a deliberate stylistic choice. Awesome cover.
Well said
He's fantastic but generic. The auto tune set him apart so now he can do passion projects like this one.
Unlike other fake ass musicians, he actually uses it as an artistic choice
He doesn't seem to use it the entire song. The parts he does use it, it is to electrify his voice like a guitar. His use of vocal vibrato on those parts seems to replicate an electric guitar. It's incredibly impressive. Not only does he have sick vocal chops, he knows when and how to use effects to push things over the edge.
That isn't autotune. On T-Pains twitter page he says its flanger and chorus.
Insanely positive feedback from the metal community, love to see it.

I'm a metalhead too, and this is damn brilliant!
He absolutely spilled his guts into this one. Straight from the hurt.
Kinda makes sense, All Rock gets its roots from blues/soul.

Check out busta rhymes doing a cover of iron man, its even better.

Ozzy gives a lot of praise to those who redo his old stuff well. Take a listen to Brown Sabbath. Ozzy said he was blown away by them too.
Rest In peace t-pain 🙏

Top tier, iconic, legendary.
This doesn't have autotune on it though... T-Pain can actually sing his ass off for real.
@@SB-or5mj I think Brock knows that. "T-Pain's legendary vocals."
T Pain should do Planet Caravan, it would fit his auto tune style given Ozzy used a roto amp to give his voice an almost ethereal sound

Such a good cover and even Ozzy himself gave T-Pain big props for how much he enjoyed this cover.
What makes this amazing is that it amplifies one of the fundamentals in black Sabbath thats often overlooked. Black Sabbath was, inherently incredibly funky alot of the time! Fat bass lines slinky guitar strings
and a very jazzy drummer... these guys grew up on soul music as much as they grew up with the beatles and the stones.
All their guitar solos are very bluesy as well.
you're telling me a genre named rock that was formed from the blues sounds funky and bluesy? thats crazy....
Yeah that first album of there's has some funk. I still think it's the best album of all time and I've listened to alot of albums
Tony used banjo strings until 1971
T-pain could literally have a whole career under his real voice and vocal range and it would be just as successful, he's amazing.
I'm sure it would be even more popular than his other crap. I actually like this. Really giving Lenny Kravitz vibes here.
On his first album most of the choruses are his voice straight up without auto tune. And he’s singing his ass off.

The chills this gave me is unmatched. This is an absolutely amazing cover
New favorite cover of this song.
This speaks volumes on how versatile this man is.
Same!!!
You'd think Faith No More had covered this classic song better... It's not even close. 😳😳
Holy shit...as a life-long metalhead & Sabbath fan, this is truly amazing!!
The "now in darkness world stops turning" section, the chord progression and vocal performance is just absolutely stellar!! Gave me chills...
10/10
YES!
Tight! This track is epic.
W T F? Dude, this is absolutely amazing. What a voice!!!!! I've always liked your music and creativity but being more of a rock/metal guy, I never really explored too deep.
You sir, absolutely nailed this shit. Much respect. Seriously looking forward to more tracks like this, origianl or cover. Great job!
This is by far the best cover of a Black Sabbath song since Faith No More covered it in 1989. This absolutely rips
Yesss, this one is definitely super original but FNM also did an amazing job
This is great, but Charles Bradley's cover of Changes is insane.
@@Ansonr I so wish Black Sabbath was still active to cover Bradley's The World (Is Going Up In Flames). RIP Charles Bradley.
Word
I am still rather partial to busts rhymes iron man… while it’s not really a cover it’s a song singing the same story.
Lifelong metalhead and I have to say T-Pain absolutely smashed this! Who knew he had such a metal voice. Awesome!
Ok my respect for T-pain just went through the roof.... this is absolutely AMAZING
You can tell he loves this song by the way he does it so much justice. Can’t believe anyone was mad about this cover
Particularly by hearing him go all-in on the ad libs. No “job done” attitude, just passion for Sabbath’s classic song :)
The message. Timeless and gd'it accurate.
We need more t pain rock covers
fuck yeah
Like a whole fucking albums worth.
More T-pain is 🔥🔥🔥
The last verse at 4:00 is just soooo crisp, love the build up the rhythm of his voice there 😮💨🤘🏻
With this being said I can’t be the only one that got goose bumps from this? T-pain literally said hold my beer I’ll show ya an awesome Black Sabbath war pig cover. He absolutely nailed it out of the park. Sat here just jamming to it completely.
Covering iconic songs is top tier difficulty.
The question is How to hold true to the original while making it yours?
T-pain has achieved legend status with this answer to that question.
As a fan of metal I'm very impressed with this cover. Well done T-Pain
Excellent! Reminds me more of Faith No More's version. Truly Kicks Ass!!
Came in with no expectations, but damn does this rock. T-Pain killed it.
I loved Black Sabbath growing up but man this cover is better I swear!
Metal head from day one. This is one of my favorite protest songs, possibly the best Vietnam protest song. T-Pain absolutely Re-Forged this metal masterpiece with a bit more funk, soul, and R&B. Bravo Sir, we salute you!🤘🤘🤘
Brought tears to my eyes. Years of listening to this with my father never thought t-pain could do it more justice than anyone ever did. ❤
more than ozzy??
Wonderful cover. Just phenomenal vocals. Invented a new sub genre here! Gospel Sabbath!
As a metal band, this level of performance is something to aspire to.
I personally was a hip hop head in the 90s and still love it. So glad to see my favorite genres blending so well.
Tpain should release an entire rock/metal album. Would be awesome.
WOW WOW WOW best cover ever
Two of my favourite artists in the world together at last. T-Pain and Black Sabbath. Im crying. This is beautiful.
Stop the wars ! Peace on earth !
Goes to show MUSIC transcends language and racial barriers. MORE THIS
Thank you!!
This is a sick version! Got those Corey Glover vibes! Appreciate!
Great comparison and yes!!
Where can I find more like this from the person you mentioned?
@@somebonehead Living Colour (great band)
Damn great observation so true!!!!
This is simply beautiful. Made me have chills. I love his take on a metal classic. I hope he does more covers. Bring T-Pain back to the light of Metal!
T-Pain and Black Sabbath!!! fuck yeah!!! 😎🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The version we never knew we needed......Much respect from someone who has been listening to Sabbath for nearly 40 years.
It’s like he took every other genre popular in the late 60s/early 70s and combined them into the song. A fantastic interpretation!
Interpretation is the right word and I like this better than a straight cover. My god what a banger this track is, and T-Pain is brilliantly talented.
this is the single greatest cover of all time
This gave all of us goosebumps.
Man, this is such a kick ass song. You let your power fly and it's so fun to hear. What an arrangement.
As a life long Black Sabbath fan, I'm rendered absolutely speechless at what a spectacular cover this is.
I'm currently bedridden but somehow this is giving me life. I'm really glad to be alive to hear this. Hopefully when I'm well again i can experience this live one day.
Get well soon
Get your rest so you can rock out again, my dear ❤
Everyone, go like and subscribe her music page!!! Hopefully this’ll bring you some cheer 🎉❤!
Hope you have a speedy recovery!
God speed! Music is life so just keep delving into the inspiration.
Wow! I did not know what to expect, but THIS is what I want from covers. It captures the energy of the original while doing something very different. Hell yeah!
Must have more Tpain metal covers.
The gospel drumming really pushes this over the edge. This is phenomenal work.
Heard this on Octane this morning. This was one hell of a great cover! I would love to hear more Metal covers by T-Pain!
I'm so glad that I "discovered" this. I'm absolutely blown away by this amazing cover! 🤘
I thought it was Living Colour there for sec… Great job T Pain great to see pop artist show how music can be done respectfully 🤘🏽👍🏽
This was certainly an unexpected treat! Tozzy Painbourne!
T-Pain and Black Sabbath were both very important in my musical upbringing. Also yall need to hear his verse on black and yellow g-mix, that shit is so fire
IM BEGGING YOU T PAIN. LORD IN HEAVEN, MAKE MORE COVER ALBUMS!!!! These are some of the best quality covers ive seen in a long time, maybe do some folk rock and see what other genres you can master. You’ve certainly got the voice to do whatever genre you put your mind to
Oooooooh damn, that was good! I want to hear an entire album of Sabbath covers by T-Pain now.
Dear Lil Uzi Vert, this is how you cover a Metal song.
The organ bits really do it for me, could imagine the whole song being that
Fantastic cover! Reminds me of Corey Glover from Living Color and that's meant as an absolute compliment. Like it's been said all up and down the comments, this is probably the best cover of this song I've heard.
I got that too! Absolutely massive voice and the band sounds nice too. I wonder who is playing on this
YES! I adore Living Colour. This was absolutely fantastic! I definitely see that as a compliment and the resemblance ❤
I thought the exact same thing! I would love to hear a T-Pain cover of Cult of Personality.
Second best Faith No More version is still the best cover of it
best cover of this song still goes to faith no more but this is easily 2nd
DUDE!!!! This Is Why You are Sir a Real ARTIST !
The time and effort put into this cover is amazing, and it's done well with respect to the original while putting their original spin on it. This is what covers are supposed to be like.
Yes. It's his personal interpretation rather than a straight cover and it is so much better that way. This song is a metal masterpiece. As a lifelong Sabbath fanatic, and as someone who has never been into T-Pain, this is easily the best cover of a Sabbath song I've ever heard by a country mile. T-Pain is a music genius (never thought I'd say that!).
Omg! I'm so here for this. Thank you T-Pain for continuing to be the enigmatic artist that you are. You never disappoint. This is everything!
I was shocked, this cover is phemoninal!!
This sounds like King Crimson mixed with Living Colour, it's SICK!!!
Of all things, I was not expecting T-Pain to cover War Pigs this year. It sounds amazing too.
I believe this is the survivor series war games 2024 official theme
