battery battery batttttery batterrrrrrry

I punched a kitten in anger!!
(in my head, ofc, ‘cos in real life, thats too far)

What a bunch of clarns. why can’t people just leave quality songs alone. you need to be world class to even come close to making a metallica song better than it already is, and they are not

It’s not that bad it’s kind of creative if you think about it. As an Iron Maiden fan I’ve listened to their Fear of The Dark cover first and laughed at it the first couple of times.

But it isn’t that bad

i think this beat celine dion’s cover of You Shook Me All Night Long

LOOL, that was entertaining

I want these guys headlining Download.

dude this really sucks.my band tried to cover master of puppets but we ended up sounding shit.but this cover realy keeps me happy,because i see that there are much worst bands than us.plus we didn’t upload our miserable effort of covering the gods in the you tube.we respected metallica and ourselves

saw this a while ago. its really good!

I would like to point out to one of them it is Battery. Not Batari.

TWAT.

WHAT A FUCKING LOAD OF SHIT! THEY ALL NEED TO BE SHOT With a shotgun OFC

What a load of fucking bollox! they all need shooting with a fucking rocket launcher lol

i laughed a little…

i cried a little…

this is just epicly wrong…

It’s abysmal and funny at the same time. I think that those who commit crimes to do with music should be punished, maybes pushed into a moshpit or forced to listen to Britney Spears or emo music? That’ll be punishment that I couldn’t bare. The damage done to our ears after hearing tripe this is unforgiveable.

this is complete wank -
most of them cant even pronounce battery.
battary

fucking shitty.a fucking martyr to listen to this cover

I’m sure I heard about this months ago, from Hammer, except last time, you thought it was good on some level

OMG VAn Canto are like… awesome, they do maiden covers live and stuff… they are great fun.

Lol I just think it’s odd

my god…my ears are bleeding..and wtf is Rob Halford and Rickkkkay off eastenders doing singing such shite

Triviums sepultura cover was worse..so were all triviums covers of metallica..FUCK TRIVIUM

it’s pretty bad, but you should all check out “dokaka” creeping death” on youtube. possibly worse.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjxE1Ebe1L8

oh come on, that cover is iimmense, they have also done nightwish and iron maiden

ad give her 1 shite cover tho

Come on…don’t take it too serious. It’s kinda cool, the solo part is pure art…lol…why not? The Boyz would like it…it’s all about beeing creative…ratatamratatam yeah! lol

last time hammer posted this video on their blog they liked it. it was that post that made me like van canto

bit inconsistent there hammer

just found the source:

http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/fancy-some-german-a-capella-metal/

where it says:

“Could the next big metal sensation be an a capella five-piece from Germany? We seriously doubt it but Van Canto have to be seen and heard to be believed.

Comprising of five singers and a drummer with absolutely no guitars, no keyboards and no bass, these wacky Germans have released a video for their cover of Metallica’s ‘Battery’ that has to be seen to be believed. Click here to check it out.”

Well!! my other half is spitting feathers about how crap it is but after a week with the flu and a chest infection at least i found something to smile at!!! dunno what a batt-ary is tho! if you learn to laugh at the crap( music and people!) life is much more fun. and it confuses them!!

Wrong…just so so wrong!

Sweet jesus… its either amazing or awful… i’m gonna go with awful i think

5 stars for entertaintment value but Minus 666 stars for fucking up a classic….

still its a way better metallica cover than that
she-bitch who did that massacre of the unforgiven so horrifficly that the unforgiven 2 & 3 got restraining orders

This is crap, i dont believe he did that solo, they disorted him. R.I.P batt

this is old…and so bad it’s good

This is crap! They disotred his voice during the solo. They are just big fat phoneys! R.I.P battery

The saddest thing is, Metallica would’ve had to okay this for release.

Old news is old.

Some guy posted the link earlier, but you’ve already commented on this hammer!

u think this is bad? go on amazon and listen to the samples from ‘a hiphop tribute to metallica’ that shit is unbelievably bad. or any of the bluegrass tributes that seem to crop up!

its the worst one by far, its fucking unlistenable! those backing vocals are the most annoying ever! FUCKING BOLLOCKS

Am I the only one that finds this fucking hilarious? Anyway, whatsherface’s version of Unforgiven is worse, some german bird. I’m surely Metalhammer posted something about it a while ago, but it’s much worse than this

this a very weird cover… but its no where as bad as that one girl that covered the unforgiven(her name escapes me)

I’ve head this version few months ago. I can say that i am abit violent now… Cmon Rammstein cover metallica ok , udo or others cover metallica ok, but not this kind of idiots… metal beatboxers.. wheres is the world going to..?

Battery? More like Batter THEM!!! With frozen fish!!!!

DIDDLY DIDDLY DIDDLY BATTARAII!!!!

Haha this is quality!!!

fail is too short, so; epic fail.

That was so fucking good.
NEA!

THATS NOT METAL

BEST METALLICA COVER EVER!

i jus wan to punch that bald guy in the face

I’m starting a Facebook campaign to get these guys to christmas number one next year!

i find this hilarious

what there doing is actually quite cool, but seriously? Battery?! what were they thinking, if your gonna do somet wierd dont fuckin do it on an all time classic. They would probably make less enemies if it was just a video of them stabbing pandas

its better than what you fags consider good. anyway core bands sould cover this well (joke)

fuck making metal a religion, the legions of metal need to decend upon the deutchland and vanquish these douche krauts

LOL! This made me laugh!

man you gota love van canto! They must be jokes live haha

LOL that was too funny. Metallica should see this themselves. they’d laugh theyr ass off!

I quite liked that..
I am quite open minded to music
If you approach it as a song in it’s own right, without comparing it to the original (No-one can beat metallica!), then it isn’t all that bad
Got insane backing singers, and the lead isn’t mind piercingly awful.

They have a drummer.

A-Cappella fail.

thats without a doubt not metal

Lol I find this funny and pretty original.

i think this is very creative
just think some people need to be more open minded about stuff

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!!! So bad it’s actually quite good!
Or shite, whichever!!

This is so old, check out their version of a Nightwish song, its pretty good. And the bit where one of the guys does the solos is pretty impressive.

This has been around for years, its bloody awesome, best cover Ive heard, the tracks they right themselves are awesome aswell. Long live Van Canto.

I was horrified at the start but was most entertained by the end of it i would have to say a job well done i couldn’t give a rats ass whether its a classic or not i enjoyed it alot more than the dance versions of alice coopers poison and GNR sweet child o mine.

You guys have only just discovered this? Shows how Shit metal hammer are! I came on to check if they know about Mr. Ellefson rejoining Megadeth, Typically nothing yet. I’ll wait another week for that I guess, I’ll keep reading Terroriser!

Heard this MOOOOOOOONTHS ago, but seriously? The majority of you need to get a sense of humour.. It’s a light hearted take on a metal classic and in a world of no fun, this is an amusing (and GOOD) remedy.. Better than Bring Me The Horizon anyway

I haven’t laughed like that in a long time. Do people take them seriously? Like a serious awesome metal band?? Wowsers. I guess it’s sort of impressive…(?) but mostly fucking hilarious!!!

rakataka-rakataka-rakataka-whattheFUCK!!!!!! It was funny and aweful all at the same time. Like a car crash I couldn’t turn away (for three minutes). A for effort, though.

Hahaha

Joke.

This is extremely old, I’ve known about this for years, but it always gives me a good laugh, especially their attempt at the guitar voices. haha, thanks Hammer.

these days Geriatrica butcher most of their own songs anyway, so you’re in no position to make of other bands, MH.

wow. just when i thought metallica couldn’t get any less-metaller….

hahahahahahahahaha what a joke

don’t forget,they also come from the land of Heaven Shall Burn,Rammstein,Stahlgewitter

You know, if they would have beat-boxed the drums ofstead playing real drums…….

And ofcourse they shouldn’t start with singing battery, baaattery.

I think its technically quite clever!

No worse than that bloke covering Enter Sandman on a fucking kazoo!!!!

what a crock of shite !! jeez, i could do better with me didgerydoo !!!!! x

Mmmmmm Interesting…… Could only come from germany, Bless em!

cant they do their own music? this is rubbish !!!

it hurts my hears WTF

Funny, I could swear it was Hammer that introduced me to this video less than a year ago and thought it was brilliant!

Rindeleeelleeellleee B’tareee!

Its not that bad… You obviously all haven’t heard…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rktm8s1Du_s

Yet again Mr Hammer is not on the ball….

This is soo old, when are you going to post some real news?

Good vocalists but a terrible adaptation!

That’s just down right hillarious…

Klunk – from Spetember 25th, 2009 – http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/blog-the-worst-cover-ever/

Have that. You farkin’ clarn.

I’m pretty sure this was in your web vid column in the magazine a year or two ago. I personally think their Manowar cover is much funnier

I think all you small minded retards need to expand your variety of music and understand that what you are always told by people isn’t always right! This isn’t a bad cover, it’s a band doing something with is original, innovative and different. A band covering a Metallica song which they clearly like! There not taking the piss, they are just appreciating Metallica’s music. I’d like to see any of you guys relicating a ledgendary song like this. Theres a thing called “talent” which clearly none of you kids understand. Just cause metal hammer say “Is this the worst cover ever” doesn’t mean you have to say “YES” to please them?…Grow up.

Van Canto make me laugh. Hysterically.

jesus… i think im on acid :S

its. different.

metallica are my favourite band of all time. and this just

/hangs head in disgust

also, i know this may sound like a silly question, but does that guy actually play the guitar riff and solo with his MOUTH?

wtf,

just another reason why the world does’nt need germany

First thing that comes to mind, with which I am sure these Germans are acquainted with, is concentration camps. For all the obvious reasons. Rindeelilly Battoory, Batta-ree. Ran-katan! WTF is up with Ran-katan? Samurai battle call?
Ran-tan-tan-tan!

worth a thousand LOL

@craig weatherly

Even though they gave us Rammstein?

Just downloaded their album Hero. Have to say it’s not that bad! A bit shocked at that to say the least!!

Learn to appreciate music. This is really cool. They can all sing better than Hetfield, and just about any drummer is better than lars. Btw, I love Metallica.

This is the sort of thing that endless copyright laws and ridiculously overzealous bureaucrats were invented to prevent.

It’s a bloody disaster!

*cries*
i admire the creativeness… and the lyricists vocals…
thats all, looks like i’ll be dead long before i see the big four…
goodbye folks

This is probably the worst Metallica cover ever, I could see maybe trivium cover this song not these douche bags! why can’t there be any awesome Metallica covers like Evil Army covering something from KEA!

i could honestly see them doing a cult-ish video. that’s ALL it reminds me of.haha
but i will give props,to…
the DRUMMER even though he knows his group sucks,at least he doesn’t(mostly)

@ MICAH AMEN BRUH! YU SIMPLE MINDED KHUNTS!

The lead guy looks like Robbie Williams?!

Also, Ivan Moody (5FDP) looks like Dom Littlewood!
Just thought I should drop that in…

Rindy, ridy, rindilill, lilly, Battary! Battary! Ra tam tam tam ta! – Jeez! WTF? How did they come up with this one?

That was fuckin’ funny

is it cOLD in here?

im really marlee maitlin,rainman is taking a break from nailing my deaf ass square in my.. well…ASS.but power of attorney allows me to speak for him here..KILL EM ALL, the riverdance renaissance ,coming to an ampitheater near you[ swords under 10 inches are allowed, no muskets] are u fucking KIDDING ME? this is their BOB ROCK hangover leaving their system,u ever taken a painful dump? let metallica have there own

hello,im marlee maitlin, reknowned deaf chick from all those law and order shows.rainman is passed out due to his penchant for nailing me in my deaf ass, so ill exercise my power of attorney in speaking for him[and myself]…WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS??? if lars signed off on this rainman and i cant WAIT to hear’CREEPING DEATH:THE MUSICAL’ or THE LEPER MESSIAH RIVERDANCE! [yes i said ‘hear’ , its hollywood, do the math,

hi im marlee maitlin speaking for rainman again,whilst his face is buried in my considerable muff….we secretly both like this rendition ..ahh a little higher..YESSSSS! but we both pine for the day when we can hear[ its

hi im marlee maitlin speaking for rainman again,whilst his face is buried in my considerable muff….we secretly both like this rendition ..ahh a little higher..YESSSSS! but we both pine for the day when we can hear[ IM NOT DEAF!!! U GET THAT? I i have great fingers,,thats all im sayin..]SEEK AND DESTROY as a spoken word beat poem in greenwich village

are you serious?this is like celine dion covering TRAPPED UNDER ICE ‘ [where she should reside lol]there is no band or artist that should try to cover ANY metallica song of the cliff era, that time marks a part of fans lives we’ll not see again, and none of THE TRUE METAL MILITIA were listening to siegfried sans roy / tenatious d versions of the songs that we grew up on

the passageways from which you entered and the …….right or left….in the event of an emergency, thank you for your time and attention.. who isavril lavigne, and why is she doing a metallica song that happened while i was in a coma the last 10 yrs?

oh no…marlee drunk-dialed again on my account,ive only got just so many places her fingers can go, and i left one of them free..the effort these guys put into this should be commended, but i WILL nitpick and say my girl does better orally-oriented solos, and her vibrato, due to her deafness…..what? shes not deaf? lol! anyway, these guys must have a true fan in their ranks, and paying homage to metallica as best they can in the face of certain ridicule takes balls..i liked it. ill take my leave now, its time to’tune my bitch up’! MARLEEEEEEE!!

makes me want to eat my own fist
