For years I have waited for a real musician to play percussion on a giant scorpion monster. The instrument finally has some legitimacy! thank you, As I Lay Dying!
This... This is how you do a cover properly... Why would you even took an effort to do a cover to sound the same as the original... That's just pointless... They did it their style and that's how you should do a cover!
Thats how most people do covers. Bandwagon fans always say shit like this. Then again aild isnt really a metal band so i cant even call you a bandwagon fan
@@wilfordgrimley4339 did that shit make sense to you before you published it? "They're not really a metal band so I can't call you a bandwagon fan"? I didn't think the term "bandwagon" was tied to any certain thing, but I suppose I was wrong.
Tombking2 In my opinion mixing clean vocals with growls/screams makes it sound pretty fucking awesome. It's like they put a brutal element into the cleans. In my opinion that's why it sounds "brutal"
So many metal elitist hating on this band, they did a fine job covering this classic from Judas priest so either you guys can't accept it or you guys are just narrow minded...
Kira Kousuke How are we narrow minded? For pointing out how much of a disgrace these vocals are, and how they butcher a classic metal song? I think it just shows that we have standards, and that we don't take kindly to a shitty metalcore band not paying the proper respect to the original version by playing it correctly.
NOT GIVEN NOYB I like the old version too, but come on they didn't really butcher this song. This version was pretty cool. But showing hatred to a band just because you don't like their style is pretty much like...well...you're wasting your time on something your didn't like in the first place and you should just leave it.
oiyabastard I feel so threaten, fyi I don't care what year were you born or what-not, and people like you are pretty much why the metal community kinda sucks now.
Kira Kousuke look up black flag kira's got the 10 1/2 i can show you the best of true hardcore punk and metal just ask and dont say metal community its kinda gay,, you like SOD?
Rishad D'souza As a true Judas Priest fan, I think this cover is complete and utter shit. Rob Halford has the ultimate metal voice. It's a fucking sacrilege to ruin his vocal lines with retarded death growling instead of singing.
For those of you hating on this. Rob himself has came out and said and I quote ( they did a fucking great job) so they got the approval from the man himself. And it is a awesome cover.
@@twentyfourtythree1190 and hes fixed it. He was on drugs that were screwing with his mind. He's even reconciled with his ex wife and remarried. Give the guy a chance. Yeah he did something horrible. But he's fixed it.
I've known of this song for a long time but i never payed attention to it. Today, i was testing out a new sound system on my TV so I just grabbed the first AILD song that popped up. And it happened to be this one. So, I'm listening, starting to like it, and then really started to like the sound. I was thinking "Man, this has a really cool early 80's vibe. It sounds like Judas Priest if Jordan Mancino was drumming for them". So, I liked it enough to share to to my FB. I jump on youtube on my phone and searched "Electric Eye" and the first song that popped up was Electric Eye by Judas Priest lolol. I had no idea this was cover but I totally called it with the sound hahaha. It's like I'm the Metal Whisperer
trillriff-axegrinder could not agree more. This is my favorite song by priest and I don’t get into all of as I lay stings music but I think they did a really good job on this cover
HAHA this is awesome!!!! Let me just say I've always like AILD and im a HUGE priest fan. These guys did a great job on putting their own spin on a CLASSIC of the genre all the haters need to relax and realize that a cover is supposed to be your unique spin paying homage to some of the founders of this style.
So if your car ever breaks down in the desert and you're hot or surrounded by a giant scorpion - you now know that the best way to deal with the stress is to just rock out a little bit!! :)
HOW IN THE FUCK AM I JUST NOW COMING ACROSS THIS?!?!?! I’ve been listening to As I Lay Dying for about 8 years now and never knew about this! I just saw Priest last Thursday and they put on a killer show! And when they played this song, I got the chills! And AILD did a fucking outstanding job on this cover! Taking their own spin on a classic! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
No one can ever replace Phils scream. The way he screams is deep and not whiny like most of today's screaming. To me they are one of the very few metal bands worth listening to.
so i basically laughed at the title of this alone in sheer disbelief, but this is actually really good O__O i'd even go as far as to say this is the best song they've done. and it ain't even their own!
This was actually a respectable tribute to the original. The instrument side of things was dead nuts with with some bonus minor changes and as a whole was good! Fuck the haters I was impressed.
Well aren't you just full of sunshine and rainbows. The whole point of a tribute is to take a song from a band that influenced you and play it as your own. I'm sure this is a difficult concept for you to grasp but for what they where aiming to do, it was a success. So if you would be so kind as to fuck off with your hipster mentality, that would be great.
NOT GIVEN NOYB they did sing though? the only part they don't sing in this is the first few lines of each verse, but those are hardly even sang in the original, they're almost "talked"
NOT GIVEN NOYB "the first few lines of each verse" more specifically, I'm talking about "Up here in space Im looking down on you My lasers trace Everything you do" and "Always in focus You cant feel my stare I zoom into you You dont know Im there" In the original recording, those lines are barely even sang, and in this recording, they're the only lines that weren't sang, so I don't see why it's a big deal. These lines total for 20 seconds of a 4:20 song, so yes it's a small fraction. Do you not hear the singing that starts at 1:28 and continues for almost the entire rest of the song? There are screams/growls layered over it but it's sang just as well.
Barely even sang? Well clearly you are no singer. If this band is so damn great how come Halford doesn't start growling the same way they do? It's cause he knows it's better to sing instead of growl.
NOT GIVEN NOYB if you cant recognize speech level singing, like in the lines from the original recording that i mentioned, then YOU actually don't know shit about singing and have probably never really tried to sing before
I really don't understand these "true" metalheads. If a band is covering a song OFCORSE it wont sound like the original. Is this song as good? No, not even close. But they are doing this to give credit to Judas Priest, not insult them. Or you hate this band because they are metalcore.
...I didn't call as I lay dying any of those things? Yeah it's metal, but I will say metalcore isn't nearly as good or talented as other heavy metal bands.
***** I was reffering more to the other guy, but that is definately a steriotype. I do beleive it all takes skill, and it is silly to hate and say something takes no talent (unless were talking about BOTDF)
En plena pandemia mundial, tiene que ser parte de la musicalizacion de esta cuarentena¡¡¡ GRAN TEMAA¡¡¡ EXCELENTE COVER¡¡¡ argentina neuquen todavia sanos....
Every band has covered a song from their influences, so why can't they? It's understandable if some people don't like it. But this was all for fun, nothing serious about it. Let it go.
It really warms my heart and gives me a HUGE sign of relief to see that there are lots of other people who share my opinion that this cover version is a disgrace to the original. There is hope for true metal.
Great cover, I'm a guitarist and have listened to many covers of this song.This is not an easy lead to do correctly. He really nailed it, very impressive. I'm not a big fan of gothic vocals but the cover still is really good.

Greatest comment ever?
i hate when space scorpions smash into the desert in front of me
And then you have to play fucking air drums on them.
Lol they just have all their gear 🤣🤣
It went from spy satellites to scorpions chasing me!🙄
Change your fucking pic, idiot
Ever been so high, you used a giant fucking scorpion as a drumkit?
does a flamingo count?
Who hasn't?
What the fuck with that giant scorpion? that's hilarious
I always Imagined the electric eye as a satellite in the sky spying. Metal Space Scorpion? Metal I guess. haha
Brad Riley hahaha, It can be like that
That fusion between clean vocals and gutural is just epic! They've just made Judas Priest very proud!
Rob halford in fact hate gutural but if you say so
🤮
lmfao no
either way they rocked the shit out of it
Either way they rocked the shit out of it. I'm biased bc I like As I Lay Dying. But JP seems to lend their music to modern metal bands
This is the second greatest Judas Priest cover of all time. Death covering "Painkiller" is #1
@ 4th: Beyond the Realms of Death covered by Blind Guardian
🤘🤘
th-cam.com/video/6KRgqlRSVyg/w-d-xo.html
bro what about machine head and sentinel
Ah. A man of culture I see.
One of my favorite Metal bands playing one of my favorite classic rock songs. Total badass win.
These guys were legit just running around aimlessly in the desert with instruments.
“Just picture that scorpion.png is chasing you.”
I really DO appreciate how timeless this song after that more than 30 yrs is....sounds still so modern
the scorpion was fucking hilarious guess their budget went to rob halford driving the truck
Video isnt even low budget they made it that dumb cause they were halucinating from the heat in desert
I guess it is not about the “budget” you little blue waffle eating (Insert “PC” exploitive here) doucheeeeerrrrr.... #metal...
I miss this band :'(
PigsAreBrutal Meeeee too BROTHER meee FUCKING too!
PigsAreBrutal :'(
WELL with time being in the slammer for rid raging attempted murder. You're gonna be missing them.for ALONG time. haha
+Ensiferum Dime Tim* Not time.
Ensiferum Dime he got in December last year
- "Hey, the car broke..."
- "OK nvm, let's play a song here at the middle of the desert."
*Cool band tho...
And let's invite a giant space scorpion
Maybe they're playing the song as a call for help to let someone know their car is broken down? Good enough excuse for me lol
@@raptoranderson the only "help" that showed up were outer space metal scorpions XD
this video has a better story than any Michael Bay film
My boxer shorts stolen in the university dormitory have a better story than any Michael Bay "film."
If Michael bay was about filming biceps
Damn rite 🤘
So does my lunch
Dude don't be so exaggerated
This... This is how you do a cover properly... Why would you even took an effort to do a cover to sound the same as the original... That's just pointless... They did it their style and that's how you should do a cover!
There's no spin, the music adds nothing new to the original song whatsoever
Robert Hardy except it does even if it’s not every little thing that’s different. For example, there’s screaming incorporated into the song
Zach The Anime Hunter Screaming was already in the song. The two lines before the chorus are screamed, or more specifically screeched robotically.
Thats how most people do covers. Bandwagon fans always say shit like this. Then again aild isnt really a metal band so i cant even call you a bandwagon fan

I like how they put the growling and screaming at the same time as the clean vocals :D sounds brutal as fuck
How the fuck is clean vocals brutal?

A Judas Priest fan, but I think this cover is pretty amazing!
Those criticizing it and call it gay just don't want to accept any change in style.
I agree
Change in style is fine, I just don't particularly like the style it was changed to.
DMU555 understandable. I can totally see why one wouldn't appreciate this but calling it gay is unreasonable.
Using gay as a pejorative is bullshit yes.

...Just messing with you, not hating. Cheers
@@PushSueAside haha no your good dude. Yeah I did quote Rob.
The best cover ever I seen of this song.

I think the cover is absolutely amazing. Nick did a really great job with the solo.
Did Micheal Bay direct this video?
Discord Hahahahahaha good one.
Lol that would be hilarious. Also, I live your profile pic dude. Nice to see another person who loves the occult.
this isn't Scorpion King 2?
Yes
Nice pentagram,

By far the best metalcore band on the planet. RIP.
This sounds so 80's metal, but I actually love the flow of this song :D
Como não amar As I Lay Dying
One of the most epic covers and music videos to date
I love how the drummer couldn't take his drumset with him and just uses the spacescorpion as his new drumset. Amazing Cover btw, I love it!
Step 1: Take As I Lay Dying
Step 2: add one poorly animated space scorpion
Step 3: get this (still funny) music video
great cover! awesome sound !!!

me gustan los covers! arriba Judas Priest... Electric Eyes una de mis canciones favoritas...
EPIC \m/
There is nothing "epic" about this. Its a garbage cover of a classic Priest tune.
Theenragedone Ayyy lmoa
I find this video not to be believable. Chevys don't just break down like that
This is my favorite comment ever
Or maybe the poorly animated scorpion lmao
wow , i never thought it could get any heaver than the original . i must say im impressed
It is rare to see someone out-metal Judas Priest
Judas Priest is amazing
Hell yeah.
I noticed Rob Halford driving the truck at the end
Pretty awesome to see my favorite metalcore band cover a song by my favorite heavy metal band. Judas Priest and As I Lay Dying FTW!
To be honest this song is that solid I don't wonder Priest got famous and rich. It is among my TOP 10 of all times
as a judas priest fan i gotta say i kinda like this better then the original
I really don't understand these "true" metalheads. If a band is covering a song OFCORSE it wont sound like the original. Is this song as good? No, not even close. But they are doing this to give credit to Judas Priest, not insult them.

OfficalRavoos ita cause they play metalcore
Its about time someone covered this song
Jordan's drum sound is awesome, I just love it !
covering priest is the most metal as i lay dying will ever be
Oh that's low. I like it.
...I didn't call as I lay dying any of those things? Yeah it's metal, but I will say metalcore isn't nearly as good or talented as other heavy metal bands.

Yeah man, I hate how they have to mic their shitty social network into youtube :/
I obviously prefer Judas Priest's version, but this isn't bad honestly. Good cover.
This version make me wanna poke the government in the electric eye
Después de 10 años siempre hermoso!
Aun en mi lista de música suena esta hermosa rolita!!!
Does anyone else but think that Rob was driving the truck at the end?
Im thinking so , that truck is sick!!
Pretty sure this is the NSA's soundtrack.
🤭😂 pre war record
My god that chorus Guitar is AMAZING
I luv me some Judas Priest and this is a cool take on one of my fav songs!
So who's gonna replace Tim? I vote Howard Jones.
FUCK NO!!!! THEN THE BAND WILL START SOUNDING LIKE PUSSYS SLOWLY BUT SURELY!! you seen what happened to killswitch!!!!
Yeah, Howard Jones made them sound awesome, the previous guy sucked.
Oh how about they get Nergal from Behemoth, I'm sure he'll feel right at home.
Duh! Answer is obvious. Arnold!:-7
Glen Benton lol.
Howard is out !
Silly clip. Amazing band tough
En plena pandemia mundial, tiene que ser parte de la musicalizacion de esta cuarentena¡¡¡ GRAN TEMAA¡¡¡ EXCELENTE COVER¡¡¡ argentina neuquen todavia sanos....

Agreed

Like always, the guitar is so epic !
these effects are so awesome =D
A lot better than Judas version. I know it's Judas' sing but I like this more. My oppinion. No hate.
1m23s I'm confused is this suppose to be a scorpion or a crab?
Corrie TheBigOne I think it's a scorpion, but one that THINKS he's a crab.
Ash The Mohican 1:37 a scorpion whait ... 1:40 A drums ?!
A scordrumcrab.
***** A Scrotum drumcrab. Scorpion. I dunno..
It really warms my heart and gives me a HUGE sign of relief to see that there are lots of other people who share my opinion that this cover version is a disgrace to the original. There is hope for true metal.
I love it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Quien mas en 2019?
4:42, Rob Halford?
OMG !
Walter White.
AMAZING
love this song. judas priest is my fave band ^^
They get an A for effort, I guess.
Technically, this sounds better than the original
Habe sie zum ersten mal gehört und muß sagen die sind geillll!!!
The video is badass. They're on another level that most people would never understand.
4:42 Rob from Judas Priest, they summoned him by playing the song
Guys!!!!! The guy driving the truck at the end is Rob Halford
Thank you for kicking my ass this morning! :) !!!!!!!!
i love it
you might be cool... but will you ever be as cool as playing drums on a monstruous scorpion?
Great cover, the scorpion sux, video FAIL!!!

I need this scorpion in my life man. Metal scorpion \m/ I love this music video!
NONONONONONONONO!!!! No growling in this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When they come back if they do they will be brutal as fuck
+David Mercado yeah when Tim Lambesis is out of prison in 4 years.

The Benediction Cover of this Song is pretty great. This one is simply Awesome!
Love this fkn song 😊
That was definitely the best thing that I have read all day.
