LYRICS
Yeah, yeah
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh, what's becoming of me?
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh, don't you see what I mean?
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
YEAH
(YEAH)
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you - look out!
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh, we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away - get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel - yeah!
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump, Jump
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen - yeah!
(Holy Diver...)
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh, what's becoming of me? - No? Yeah!
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh, don't you see what I mean?
Gotta get away, get away (get away!)
Gotta get away, get away - yeah, yeah
Holy Diver, sole survivor
Your heart is clean
Yeah, Holy Diver (Holy diver)
Holy Diver (Holy Diver)
You're caught in the middle coming after you, Holy Diver
Oh, Holy Diver (Holy Diver)
Get away, get away, get away - come on!
Thank you for all the continued support over the years!
I second that man, you are badass!!!!!!
Still an amazing cover!
You're the best Howard, greetings from Venezuela!
YOU ARE A LEGEND!!
I’m sure Dio loved this adaptation. Very faithful to the music and themes from the original music video. Solid vocals!
People in the comments: "Dio would've loved this cover".
Me: "He was still alive when it came out. He did love it!"
It's a joke, don't take it so seriously
@@sisyphusconstantine7708 Is it? I doubt it.
@ BloodShank I think he meant that the cover is. It certainly in a lighthearted tribute.
@@jsollien127 I am simply explaining that the Cover came out when Dio was still alive.
@Þórfinnr Karlsefni Þórðarson How am I being elitist? I am just pointing out the people who are saying or implying that this cover was released after Dio died.
Who’s here in 2024? 🔥👊
Brazil, Rio, 2024.
Me!
This is me ! Hello 👋👋👋
Russia 2024👋
YES!
My opinion. They really did this song the honor it deserved
Tell people this all the time. A cover truly better than the OG
Right? I am ashamed to say I like it better than the original. I remember my dad’s disappointment when I said so. He always said “the original is best no matter how well the other artist covered it”
@@scoobywithadoobie7255 You know, as a musician/recording artist/singer/songwriter I can safely say. I don't have a favorite anything, because I dig on variety. There is a time and place for everything.
@@scoobywithadoobie7255 bruh, Jimi Hendrix's rendition of All Along The Watchtower was so good that Bob Dylan always played his original version in concerts with some elements from that version. Covers *can* exceed the original.
@@DanTheMan3 A good cover isn't a replacement, but a reinvention. This is a good cover. IMO, they're both great.
If I were to see one live, though, it would be this one (but only because I saw Dio live at least 10 times)
This is easily my favorite part of Game of Thrones.
A.I Rspn 😂😂
This would make a better season 8.
😂😂
Lmao, still one of my favorite from killswitch engage
😂😂
I love how Howard can transition from clean vocals to god tier screams on a whim.
You like a lot of things, don't you?
i see you everywhere on anime channels and other stuff, and im surprised youre here talking about how you love howards formal work which i madly respect now about you and your cultured tastes
Yea hes all over the place
I see you everywhere, surprised to find you here out of all places
Why tf do I see you literally everywhere
This has aged like a fine wine. Dear God I love this cover. One for the ages. I hope this is what the aliens find.
I don't believe in aliens but your comment was funny nonetheless. 😂😆
the aliens are going to think they leanred to play this sarcastically though
STOP COMPARING - this is an INCREDIBLE tribute to DIO.
Love both!
This shits on dio’s grave every time some edgy DJ at a ‘metal’ bar puts it on instead of the OG/ one of dio’s other amazing songs
@Tobexd Master of Jed
You realize Ronnie was alive to hear this cover and loved it?
@@lepurpleboi3266 Don't bother with that clan. WE know that Ronnie loved it.
both with who?
@@tobexdmasterofjej6363 Hardly shitting on his grave when it was released before he even died, go and gatekeep somewhere else.
RIP all people that don't know this is a cover
DIO you little legend
Dumb Dumb Stupid Head both equally good!!!
Dumb Dumb Stupid Head honestly like this more than the original
RIP Ronnie James Dio
i like the harmonics in the main riff, would rather Dio's vocals though.
I didn't know Morpheus was the lead singer of a metal band.
Haha that's awesome. :)
He took the red pill
+Cold HotPockets he took both the pills mate
+Mr Pavalova lmao noice
+Nihlus x I thought he looked like the dad from Cory's In The House
I love how campy and goofy this video is. They really leaned into the cliche "heroic knight" folklore concept and put out a fun, well done song. 10/10 🤘
It’s a cover of holy diver by dio. Roni James dio. The king of rock.
@@sushuki4833 Yes, I'm aware...
Are u also aware that I can kill you.
They honored the original music video that Dio put out so well, it’s just as cheesy in the best way but also fills me with energy to singlehanded take down the local monarch
The best part is that the original Dio video is not only just as cheesy, but also plotless and even cheaper. Like it had 1K budget, it didn't have any final fight, and most of the budget spent for booze and cokes.
Burger King commercials are getting weirder and weirder
There is something ironic about the fact this video shows off nothing but love for Dio but the fans are utterly divided about it.
Agreed! Im a longtime DIO fan and appreciates what KSE has done. Long live Ron!
fans ussually are assholes me not long live dio a true metal god
Joe Grace The cover is OK I suppose (of course it is impossible to level-up any of DIO's songs), but the video is ridiculous.
FenderJunkie100 1:01 that shot thou.
Joe Grace yup, too much tension in my pants.
I wish all LARPs was like this.
They should have never parted with Howard what a beast of a vocalist it takes balls to take on a DIO cover and actually do a great job at it.
Threalis Maradona they didn’t part with him... he left due to his mental heath and managing is diabetes
Yeah, plus, Jesse is a phenomenal vocalist as well, he's just a different style. Where Howard sings operatically and screams like a panther, Jesse sings with a rock voice and roars like a lion.
Both are fantastic for this band and Howard's new band, Light the Torch, goes along with KSE so well.
kono DIO daaaaaaaaaa
@@b0arthirteen516 wtf no they kicked him out for the original singer. The one with the problems was the same person they replaced him with.
Smashed it.
Okay don't get me wrong, Jesse Leach is a great singer too and I know that he was the original lead singer of Killswitch Engage. But there's just something about Howard that made the band sound unique and different from most typical rock bands and he's the reason I've recently got into this band in the first. The man is a beast with those powerful vocals and the fact that he did a cover of a Dio song of all things and absolutely nailed it proves it.
Every band, that has a second Singer better than the first is Just unique and Howard was that magic ingredient that made KSE special.
I totally agree Jesse had a more punk/thrash harshness to his voice but Howard has the bombastic opera range that meshes so well with the tones they use for the guitars.
I miss him so much
Howards voice definitely fits better
Howard is the original lead singer of Killswitch engage jesse leach was lead singer after Howard left
Such an epic cover. Howard's clean vocals are transcendent.
This dark souls quest is pretty dope
I know
And it's easier than the tutorial.
@@berndb7674 Where you fight an enemy stand
@@drippylad3973 I can't really remember but the first miniboss was superhard.
Praise the sun!
That pinch harmonic is legendary
I love whistling it people don't understand the artificial harmonic
@@danielbrawn3757 but it isn't an artificial harmonic unless I'm missing something cause I'm kind of confused by your comment lol
@@isaacrumley pinch harmonic then. I was drunk chico
@@danielbrawn3757 lol you good man 🤘🏼
Cheers son
i appreciate that killswitch kept vivian campbell's guitar solo exactly how it was on the original because it is perfection. a thousand listens and it still gives me goosebumps. love both versions and i love how much fun they clearly had making the video.
They didn't keep the solo the same at all, but they made callbacks to it. The opening lick is probably the most recognizable callback, but you can hear the two solos go in completely different directions after that lick.
Dude you high or something?
they are absolutely not the same wtf lol
Exactly this!
This song still kills it after all these years just an absolute gem of metal

A worthy tribute to a Metal God. Rest in pieces Ronnie..
Holy fucking diver!
+docm77 I got this song on replay 24/7 howard kills it
Killswitch Engage and doc in one place? Oh holy Hell, this day just got more epic.
F***ing docm ?!?! Damn this is too badass!!!
docm77 didn't even know you existed. saw your verified badge.
good music taste.
Blessed are the sick.
Howard’s voice along with those guitar riffs is what makes this song sound majestic af!♥️
The guitar tone on this album. Legendary. One of those albums I always come back to. Howard was awesome!
I literally cannot play this song loud enough.
Of course not - you haven't specified "enough for what" yet, so we could argue its absolutely true that you can't play this song loud enough to hear it on the moon, for example.
@@Loctorak😅😂😂
Who's still jamming out to this in 2021?
Here
^This guy right here
HERE!
Yes
@@brianbumstead2682 yes
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. I was high as fuck and my mind was blown.
The best way to discover new songs
Was it Dio's performance or This one?
I'm a huge Dio fan reaching back into the 70's with Rainbow. This is a kickass cover of epicly kickass proportions.
What a badass solo. Been in love with this cover for 13 years, now.
Some of the nastiest licks I've ever heard are in this solo
Hell yea 16 years listening to this song it gives me chills everytine
Legend has it that Foley is still eating that piece of meat
I think it's a turkey leg. And you know, I think he was chosen to be the king solely because of his beard.
This is actually filmed backwards, he regurgitates the meat onto the bones of fallen warriors and resurrects them to fight alongside him to the sound of heavy metal.
The piece of meat is a drumstick, he is the drummer, coincidence I think not!!!!!!
He's on Gendry's boat, still eating his drumstick
That ending is badass..
Probably one of the best covers of all time of a song in general
Didn't know morpheus was into metal
Aleksei Kalashnikov 😂😂😂
How else do you fund a Revolution.
What if I told you that he is?
Lol totally not semi-racist
Ahh, I was expecting some SJWs to show up. Took you a while.
That's the manliest queen I've ever seen.
Boob hair and sideburns xD
XD
lol
Aquanox 19 idk rob halford is a pretty manly queen
I wanna be a manly queen
A timeless cover of a timeless classic. One of the best covers ever produced.
Thankyou Killswitch for Tribute to the Great DIO.🙏💯🤘🤘
Last summer me and my friend met Howard (very very quickly) I wouldn’t even really call it meeting him. But after his gig with Light The Torch, We ran outside to the tour bus to see if we could say hello, and sure enough there was Howard. We said a couple quick words and said it was an amazing show! And he acknowledged us and said thanks for coming out to the show! Then he jumped on his bus, and took off. It probably didn’t mean anything to him, but to us it meant the world. Being life long fans of his work, it was a very special moment. He’s the best!
I love when the members of any band do this kind of videos
Who’s listening in 2024⁉️🔥🔥
Nobody mentions the absolute beast of a drummer this band has. Fucking slayed
...I'm a drummer, I have seen this video like a 100 times... and just realized the drummer was eating a drumstick...🙄
And the black guy was the black smith....
So that would mean you've listened to this song for 7hours? Does that seem plausable? Fuck yes. Do I reccommend this? Fuck yes
Max Taylor ducking epic. I was scrolling and read this and looked up and he took a bite.
Lol
Guess that means you've been doing it wrong this whole time...
crazy how howards the blacksmith, literally screaming while hammering...metal
They gave the drummer a drumstick and made the black guy the blacksmith.
Possibly the greatest cover of ANY SONG, EVER.
The moment you realize the actors are the band members this cover goes from being legend to epic
if i could sing like howard jones, i would never stop singing
Fieldy Znuts yeh Howard has got a wicked voice
Best metalcore vocalist, Killswitch should have disbanded. You dont bring back donkey after champion like Howard.
If they had disbanded, they wouldn't still be kicking ass. They are so good now! Why would a great band just quit after a singer leaves? Sounds like someone is a lil salty.
He is still singing in another band
Rae H what band
One of the best covers of a classic metal songs I can recall. I am constantly playing this song in my head, even years after its been out. The sign of a true classic!
Adam is definitely a pretty princess 😂
Somewhere, Dio is smiling at these guys
Bartman954 dio actually hated this cover
Ryan Harding That sucks
You mean Ronnie James Dio is laughing about those idiots?
I agree!
Actually Dio loved this cover so much, he said “hey ‘Switch, where’s my royalties?”
Adam is a princess. Don't ask why, that's just how he's rolling lately.
They took one of the greatest songs ever and made it even greater
You don’t make a Dio song better by screaming it.
Justice has been made to this masterpiece track!!!!
how many pinch harmonics can you fit in this song?
guitarist: yes
So I pointed out the drummer was the king to my son. He said 'dur, obvious! He's eating drumstick!'
I'd never once realised tbat
Reward that kid.
durrrr
Lmao, your son is brilliant... I just caught that.
Haha!
... well I'll be damned, never thought of that
Why is no one talking about that solo? That shit burned my face 🔥
The screams still hold up by today’s standards super well. Love Howard so much, unbelievably clean vocals
Howard will always be the voice of this band.
Neither he nor Jesse invalidate each other.
nah.. kse stayed kse after jesse with howard
My dad thought Howard was the other singer at first till I showed him this video. I died laughing cause he was like "he doesn't sound black" and I just couldn't cause it sounded so racist but I knew he wasn't being racist.
Jesse was vocalist before Howard, then came back after Howard left.
I disagree. Jesse is much better. 🤘 Just saw Killswitch Engage last night.
This is the best cover of Holy Diver I have ever seen. It sounds like the original but it has some of the bands personal flare in it without conflicting with the song. Well done.
B, that is my favorite grammar nazi fail comment I have ever seen. I watched the video. I saw the moving pictures. I did not see a song. I saw a music video. So fuck off, Mr. Wannabee grammar nazi.
B Ornlivedie you failed B. You fail at realizing what he meant by see.
B Ornlivedie You realize that grammar has to do with more than just spelling right?
Doesn't know the difference between grammar and spelling. B, you are some special kind of stupid.
Unlawful Waffle Internet fight...
Still a banger to this day.
This might be the best cover in the history of covers.
Okay I have noticed two important things in this video
1. King likes meat.
2. He also has damn nice bitches.
yup..✋
It's good to be the King
it's the drummer eating a drum stick
Concubines and meat, thats the only way to live.
3. Adam D is hot in this dress :D
The question is did he finish the damn chicken!?
lol
+Boris Penkov Nah, he only ate one of his 3 legs :D
Yeah, well fuck you.
+Boris Penkov They say that he is still biting the same turkey leg to this day...
+Chicken Strangler Looks like you strangled that chicken for nothing. I can see why you're upset
2:06 these drums are awesome
Really all the drums in this song hit like a semi truck, but this moment is something 👌
Very rarely does a band cover a classic better than the original but they nailed it
That hooded shadow guy reminds me of Disturbed
Same here!
same
He's "The Guy" from Disturbed actually..
that isn't the guy there were multiple and had no teeth
That's not "The Guy". That's just a "hooded evil spirit". It lacks the pecks and the chains and the smiley-teethy-face.
It's probably just fantasy-related.
If Key & Peele had a baby you'd get Howard Jones
TOOO TRUE
+Jacon Hulsgate those 2 creep me out.
+Jacon Hulsgate That ain't no shit.
+Jacon Hulsgate ...if they got way too drunk on wine coolers @ a HoJo's and did the sweet nasty to some early Slayer.
oh my god! I knew he looked familiar, and that's it lol.
All Killswitch songs are absolute bangers! :)
I actually like this song more than I did in middle school. So weird. I can appreciate the instruments and Howard’s vocal skills a lot more.
Ronny J. Dio would be proud lads!
Ronnie James Dio
*****
really? how did he respond to it? (if he did at all)
!!!!!!! hell yes :)
+kylequinten he said "fuck you, i´m Dio"
+kylequinten Agreed
kills switch need to do a chocolate rain metal cover with this singer
Too bad Howard left!!!! :(
Jerrodb5 thought he was back?
Rhada manthus nooooooooooooooo not with KSE. Has a new band called Devil You Know.
I can never stop watching this video. I love comedy of it along with the bad ass music and vocals!!!
Featuring the all-time great line: get away, get away, get away...COME ON.
R.I.P Ronnie James Dio:(((
1942-2010

Amazing singer and so much more ❤️
And the Oscar goes to
DIO!
Everything but the cookie monster yes
Grammy?
@@sorkvild1473 ye
Adam!
One of the greatest covers of all time, they make it seem like their own song while keeping the original sound of the song, fucking rules🤘
Howard Jones um dos melhores vocalistas que o Metal americano ja viu, a maneira que ele conseguia transitar de um vocal limpo cantando como um anjo, e gritando como um demônio era unidade pura.
no hablo espanol, but yes
he doesn't either@@Khaynizzle7
Holy Diver before: Game of Thrones
Holy diver now: THE WORLD
The original holy diver: Ronnie James Dio
Might I ask. Is this a jojo reference? If so then my hat goes of to you
@@emilioisokay_2252 yeah, Dio and his stand the world were based of Ronnie j. Dio and his song 'holy diver'
So yea
Dio debuted in like 1987
"TIME, STOP"
gonna say it again; this is one of the best covers I''ve seen of anything, ever.
not only is it full of devotion to Dio, it's got a sense of humor about it, too.
great effort by Killswitch Engage
Joel Stroetzel and Adam Dutkiewicz are a literal powerhouse.
I love Killswitch. they got me back into metal again.
Metal guitarists: To look metal, I must play my guitar at crotch level and below.
Adam: Hold my sideburns

Simply not enough adjectives to describe this masterpiece.

Never thought I'd ever want Howard Jones as a blacksmith in my entire life until now.
dont be racist :P
What was racist about that?
I don't see the racism in the comment above..wtf are ya talking about ?
Martin Brown Everyone just went r/wooosh
Definitely my favourite version
This is one of those videos where every time you watch it you see something new and funny. Love this song!
This cover and the ending alone shows that Howard is one of the best vocalists, ever! 🤘🏻I’ve been listening to this and “The End of Heartache” nonstop the last month!
I like the original Dio version but Killswitch made it much better 💪🏾🔥🔥
FY lol
So classic. Haven’t watched it in years. They all fit their roles so well Hahahahhahaa
I think Howard is one of the only metal singers who could have pulled this off, to be honest.
really?
***** He does have type 2 diabetes so give him a break shall we.
Both Matt Smith [Theocracy] and Rob Rock [Impellitteri] would probably best Howard here. MVHO (and I like Howard) ..
Are you guys serious? Goddamn your discussing about who's having the worst disease, what does that have to do with singing.
And by the way, there should never be screaming in a Dio Cover, regardless of how good or bad it is.
You could pull me off, to be honest.
“Let’s go LARPing” they said...
“It’ll be fun” they said...
They were right!!!
Holy Larper!
I wish I could afford Larping. If you want to do a professional experience, it costs so much to enter because the set up is so elaborate. At least we have badass metal music videos!
Moral of the story, trust your local blacksmith. They always got your back, even against evil wizards
One of the best covers I’ve ever come across, I keep coming back. Can’t help myself
Damn Howie my favorite metal singer there is... Not only he screams and growls he has a voice like a bird..... So fucking good!!!!!
I agree entirely. I miss em
It lloks like they had way to much fun making this
Didn’t know Daniel Cormier also performs in a rock band! A man of multiple talents indeed!
legend says, even now as the modern age thrives, the king has not yet finished his chicken
Everybody give it up for keegan-michael key on vocals
So I'm not the only one😂
"I says biiiiiiiiiiiiihh" lol😂😂😂
Don't bring that shit here
Not even the same look or body type build lol
NO DOUBT bro he not only sounded like Ronnie but brought a certain RAGE and ANGER that only RJD I thought was capable of bringing to the mic, but I stand corrected HE NAILED this song and Ronnie would be so proud of this rendition that honors our LATE, GREAT LEGEND of METAL that was Mr. Ronnie James Dio and to those that can't give props to Keegan on the vocals obviously have not a clue as to what DIO was about or sounded like and this man STOOD HIS GROUND and fucking blew me away. I am still stunned as I just heard this yesterday and have burned up the headphones cranking it to Mach 10 trying to blast the speakers out as its the only way to really appreciate what a absolute masterful cover of RJD's legendary music. AWESOME COVER AND it might be easy to play the music to a song but when I heard the first lines come out of Keegans mouth I was floored out how great he sounded, this man was born to carry on the RAGE and PASSION that Ronnie brought to the table. 100% thumbs fucking UP!!!!!
bands nowadays need to make more music videos like this
Agreed
