Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ Played As Dire Straits

Dutch musicianLaszlo Buringperformed the iconic Black Sabbath song Paranoid" in the distinctive style ofDire Straits, albeit at a slower tempo. Buring once again did a near-perfect impression ofMark Knopflers voice, capturing the sheer desperation of the lyrics with the melodic calming the guitar.

I thought it was about time to dive into the heavier stuff, so I went with a Black Sabbath song. I had to bring the tempo down a bit, from 164 bpm to 151, to fit the style a bit better. Even then it's still a tiny bit faster than Sultans of Swing or Lady Writer, which are both at 148 bpm.
