@@mygoodsire864 O, No. And we're bound for the border We're soldiers of fortune And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay Under the flag of of the greenback dollar Or the peso down Mexico way...
As someone who discovered Warren Zevon in literally his last month alive, I can absolutely appreciate this cover. It is amazing. Thanks for this song. Maybe I'll write a script based on this song... It's such a great story. Well, if I do you'll get a call.
I think you could make a really great script out of Roland The headless Thompson Gunner. This song tells the captivating story. If a movie followed the spirit of the song and avoided revisionist history and trying to send some deep social message, it could be something special.
I don't know about Roland specifically: the beauty of the song is how much goes unsaid, leaving it to the imagination. Now Mad Mike Hoare on the other hand...
@@shainshartershwate7421 There are MANY Rolands in South Africa actually. South Africa has allot of potential mercenaries. By the time South-Africa ended conscription it had created more than a million trained warriors
The eternal Thompson gunner, Still wand'rin' through the night, It's more'n fifty years later, But he still keeps up the fight, In Artsakh, in Ukraine, in Kurdistan and Portland...
Was seeing a 2X hard-witch, skeletal, wreathed in smoke, carrying a Chicago Typewriter - and that witch has no head. Never runs out of ammunition, either. A wall of hot lead follows him…
This is fucking awesome! MUCH better than that other version that comes in as #1 in the searches. Do you have this for sale anywhere? I'd rather pay for it than snatch off of YT.
I Can Tell You Gave It Your Best """ Shot """ ( But ) For Me Something Was A Bit Off A Tad To Tinny/ High Pitched, I Think It Needed To Be Lower, Grunger, Rasper ??? Like It's crawling up out of the ground to grab you.
scrape the vocals, add the ones from cover by Lauren O'Connell, and this would be great, although the original is great, and O'Connell's cover is great, on this end, music is the only great part.
One of the best Warren Zevon covers of all time.
Wonderful song. I think Roland is in Ukraine now. Тhousands of mercenaries are fighting there.
@@sudfac god bless them
@@mygoodsire864 O, No.

You could definitely write a few movies about the Congo in the 60’s!

Roland the headlines Thompson Gunner is literally an '80s movie waiting to happen
I don't know about Roland specifically: the beauty of the song is how much goes unsaid, leaving it to the imagination. Now Mad Mike Hoare on the other hand...
😂 we are waiting on the script......
Just wanna say that this is a savage take with a savage graphic. I think Mr. Z would have approved!
It does look pretty badass.
Van Owen may still have a head, but it doesn't help him to see what's comin'
This. This is such a damn good cover. Dunno why it has so few likes.
Booaar!!!!! Absolut geiles Cover!!! Soviel Daumen hab ich nicht wie ich darauf geben will!!!
Nows a heck of a time to revisit this song. Roland's busy in Ukraine and Gaza.
add venezuela, sudan, south africa, and soon tiawan. mans gonna be busy for a while.
@@FedkaSlovanichalso Myanmar
Friends: Anyone know who killed Roland?
Me: THAT SONOFABITCH VAN OWEN!
hello operator
Ya know what? Those solos DO deserve to be there.
We need a movie about this please !!
Great cover of a great song!
Yes. This gonna slow burn, then rager. God this is beyond amazing!
Love this cover itsa masterpiece
Don't get discouraged this will catch. Awesome Cover 📔
Pretty damn good. Definitely one more version I can say I hold pride in listening to.✊🏻⚡⚡
I heard "Land of the Midnight Sun" and was disappointed when I found out the guy didn't come from Alaska. I thought someone had finally noticed us
Yup. Thought that too.
Signed in *Denmark* ???
So he’s from up in Norway? Finland? Sweden?
@@dennisyoung4631 Apparently Norway. They have that name too
The drawing reminds me of Blood 1997 video game, amazing cover
I live again...
Love the guitar, got to think on the vocals for a spell.
I like the voice. Zevon had a phenomenal voice. It would be incredibly difficult to meet that standard.
So well done. Great interpretation
Great cover.
As a musician who has covered this song on an acoustic for a long time myself; I like it.
Best Warren Zevon cover PERIOD
The best cover of this song ever
This is it chief
My fav version. Well done lads
I like it. Really do!
Like this cover of my favorite warren song
God damn this is good
OMG YAAAAAAS
Sounds like the way we sing it in Arkansas
Awesome
Good cover
Damn good cover
Rockin'!
South-Africa desperately needs Roland
He's still there wandering about
@@shainshartershwate7421 There are MANY Rolands in South Africa actually. South Africa has allot of potential mercenaries. By the time South-Africa ended conscription it had created more than a million trained warriors
Roland walks in Ukraine today
@@sudfac fighting for wagner group

Yo this rips 🤘
Anyone else here looking for artifacts too?
A year late to respond to your PDA but hoping the zone hasnt claimed you yet Stalker.
Yes
Yo this is sick as fuck
The eternal Thompson gunner,
Still wand'rin' through the night,
It's more'n fifty years later,
But he still keeps up the fight,
In Artsakh, in Ukraine, in Kurdistan and Portland...
Some say they say a proud boy wandering through the streets without a head dealing out vigilante justice
Andy Huynh and Alexander Drueke have never heard this song.
Yayass! Thank ya Jeasuss!
Tbh this would probably fit really well with the STALKER series of games, the overall feel makes it gold.
Mercenary radio
@@glasswool88 I meant the actual games. But yeah.
The most metal cover I heard, just hoped you would have gone all in on the vocals too.
That would just have made it bland, boring, less unique
I would have liked it to be even heavier. But it's a great cover.
Was seeing a 2X hard-witch, skeletal, wreathed in smoke, carrying a Chicago Typewriter - and that witch has no head.
Never runs out of ammunition, either. A wall of hot lead follows him…
Spotify pleas?
Use ytmp3 conversion
y not in spotify goddamnit very best cover
Use ytmp3 conversion
This is fucking awesome! MUCH better than that other version that comes in as #1 in the searches. Do you have this for sale anywhere? I'd rather pay for it than snatch off of YT.
Why isn’t it in Spotify?
Well fuckin' done, man.
Total bummer I can't get this on apple music.
Just use ytmp3 conversion
Was it a Thompson - or was it a *Broom?*
Instrumental?
Long live the Z
very few are going to get the significance of the velvet nose artwork.

Negative. Vox are exactly what’s needed.
