This is pretty sweet. I would actually listen to something like this, death growls and all. Not sure if anyone but Rody Walker could pull off vocals like that over an acoustic guitar, though.
When i saw the title, I will admit I was highly skeptical of how good this would be. However, after listening, I will say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Good job, you deserve to highest of fives.
damn this is beautiful. bravo bro. you should definitely do this more often. some attack attack (from someday came suddenly, cuz their new album sucks dick) and some miss may i or asking alexandria would be amazing
lol This is probably the only version of this song I could play. I actually thought I could play some of the original, yet I can't even do the intro lol.
this is rad!! get a vocalist to slow the vox down too it would sounds sick, sometime the vox see too hardcore for the pretty guitar! this is AWESOME dude you should find someone to sing and busk this shit up!!
this is rad!! get a vocalist to slow the vox down too it would sounds sick, sometime the vox see too hardcore for the pretty guitar! but this is AWESOME
words can not express how fucking great this is, the world needs more people like you, at least enough people to cover the whole album like this, that might force me to actually pay for some music
Pretty good cover/rendition, but ya i agree w some of the other comments, you took out ALL of the cool parts of the song, haha. I love protest, but the best part is how hard they shred, you're just playing chords. And the end sounded off...cool idea anyway tho.
love the acoustic version... obviously the metal version is good because it had some nice riffs and technique but I loved this version... I listen to it frequently. Also, does anyone else think the dirty mustache just "belongs" in metal? Cause I really think it has a place and there needs to be more of them. Just a thought
strange indeed, but very cool. i like the original, but you made all classical sounding which is awsome cause the song is a distortion driven song. kudos to you.
Your ideas are strange indeed, but that's what makes them valuable. You are a musician with great original talent and creativity rather than a player with peculiar ideas on song interpretation.
Very nice, I thought at times there was well placed dischord with the vocals, gave it an eerie edge. Overall, really musically appealing. 5 stars, two thumbs for sure :)
I dont appreciate getting emails just to tell me that you're having an arguement about the meaning of the song on my video =/ but thanks to everyone who left nice comments =]
you frustrate the hell outta me with this comment.. i can't even begin to argue that it's not.. and that alot of lyricists actually write a song that has a deeper meaning than what you initially perceive ... this one for instance is about the cult that had the whole kool-aid incident and everyone killed themselves they were all about "the mothership" and some other nonsense
and aliens! and im sorry if i dont fucking google the meaning of every goddamn song i listen to. all i heard was something about aliens, because i can barely understand what the fuck he's saying.
youre insane dude haha combine the existing video with your video , nice dude
