12: Týr - Stargazer (Rainbow cover)

[Jak3Mac]

Sounds so autotuned.

[seanthecadaver]

sick. damn, that artwork is brutal.

[lmegadeath047l]

wow this is a pretty good cover

[hydrall9]

Musically, this song isn't very different from the original. what I dislike most about it is the vocalist's pretty bland performance. Don't get me wrong, he's freaking awesome on Tyr's other songs, but comparing this song to the original highlights how inferior he is to Ronnie's vocal work on this song. Heri's style is more syllabic, making him sound bored in comparison to Dio's wild and unpredictable voice.

[blackspiraldancer6]

@hydrall9 yes but who isnt inferior to dio's vocals?

[hydrall9]

@blackspiraldancer6 It's my personal belief that a band covering a song should do their best to make their rendition just as awesome as the original. Take Primal Fear's cover of Die Young. They went above and beyond when they made it. they could've just played off the tablature, but did they? fuck no, they wrote entirely new solos, had a dual guitar opening and a tornada that sent chills up my god damned spine. not to mention the halford-like vocals which can kill small dogs.

[Yinzerchik]

sweet!

[Storestyggesvendsen]

Thank you for putting lyrics on all the songs from the album

[mojo1964100]

very nice!

[djnorge]

This almost gives me an Lucana Coil feeling at some parts.

[larawora]

@djnorge

LUCANA COIL FUCKING SUCKS!!!!

LISTEN TO REAL BANDS LIKE DIO RAINBOW AND BLACK SABBATH!!!!

[djnorge]

@larawora Even though I mentioned lucana coil, that doesn't mean i like LC. Amongst Rock, I listen and like Dio and Black Sabbath way more than LC. But I like Old School (death) Metal the most :P

[Anavrin9]

I like this one more than the Dream Theater cover.

[ChiloteFlaite]

This is amazing. Nice when the song catches speed halfway through

[Kouban]

A terrific interpretation, but the original is still the definitive version.

[jadeatalala]

amazing



[Viccerz]

This is tasty.

[andrew130794]

this is crap compared to the original.

[MrKoffeeKup]

Fucking awesome shit. Anyone who hates this can go fuck there ass on a post. Up there in my top five favorite bands.

[hilloftheking]

[SonicRulez1515]

WHY WOULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS.

Tyr is amazing! Best band in the world! <3

[IRawryourcookies]

Unnecessarily Underrated Undulations of the Underworld in my TYRRY Underbelly.

[kenokurose]

This version really sux... he's using auto tune...

[FeydTheRonin]

@kenokurose That's a chorus effect, not autotune. Heri's range is plenty big enough to hit any of those notes.

[xANxxASSASSINx]

@kenokurose autotune would make him sound like a robot (sorta). however in this song if you listen closely you can hear a 'chorus' of other voices lagging just a second behind him. its like a mix of delay+chorus, not autotune. it makes his voice sound even more powerful in my opinion. \m/

[ddd9022]

@xANxxASSASSINx

It's probably not autotune, but i don't like how it sounds anyway. I'd prefer clean voice without any effects.

[metalguitarZomg2]

@ddd9022 dude, tyr don't use any autotune effects, what you're hearing is harmony vocals between 4 band members, (lead singer/guitarist, lead guitarist, bassist and drummer) all singing in perfect harmony, you must be a regular radio listener, because metal doesn't use any vocal effects whatsoever

[rovebeetle2]

@metalguitarZomg2 not true there are metal bands that use vocal effects, not usually to the extreme of the crappy pop bands on the radio but they do, Its usually just to clean up the sound a little on the record instead of pretending they can sing (you pay for quality right?) but they don't usually do it so much that they couldnt actually sing it live

[metalguitarZomg2]

@rovebeetle2 yeah but then again those aren't really "effects" thats more just producing, i was referring to like synthesizers and stuff like those "crappy pop bands" :), the reason we get better quality on studio album, is because its in an enclosed soundproof room with recording equipment, and in concerts its a larger area so you have that carried sound rather than the enclosed tidyness of an album atleast as far as metal is concerned

[Tjalfi999]

Technically, the lyrics to this song are the lyrics to the Rainbow version, Tyr cut off about a minute from the end, with all the stuff about going home. Not that I dont absolutely love this song anyway.

[ThorsteinnK]

Bloody fantastic version of this song! 

[piedpiperpied]

I came

[grimcelticfrost121]

@piedpiperpied I did to, but I didn't just cum. I came out every last ounce that will ever produce. I am now sterile..

[Tjalfi999]

This song makes me think about Saruman.

[Replicaate]

@Tjalfi999 Same here.

[randy1rhoads1son]

@Tjalfi999

LOL

[Ardanian]

You'll never beat the original for me, the match of Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Bain, Cozy Powell, Tony Carey and the late great Ronnie Dio cannot be topped, however I love this cover. Not a note for note cover, anyone can be a tape recorder, but Tyr have put their own twist on this track. Epic, truly epic. Brilliant work guys.

[DarkWolf5250]

@Ardanian Though Bain really shouldn't have been there... Or any other Dio album. His bass playing is always SO bloody boring and lame... You can't even hear it most of the time. They would have done well to find a better player.

[Ardanian]

@DarkWolf5250 Probably true, I like Jimmy Bain, but I agree with you. The editing made the bass almost invisible and there were probably better choices out there. Having said that he's good if not inspiring.

[DarkWolf5250]

@Ardanian Yah, he's decent. But I play bass, and when I try to play his lines I give up out of sheer boredom.

[Ardanian]

@DarkWolf5250 My problem is I'm a guitarist and most of the time I give up playing Blackmore's riffs theough sheer impossibility.

[hackforloser]

Very promising, will buy it when it comes out, that's for sure.

[ChrisBrodFan2]

@hackforloser this song come on youtube that day the cd was out ;)

[Himmerde]

first Dream Theater, now Týr

[Metaldrummer100]

Awesome cover!

[MrEnsiferum77]

Great cover! Refrain is true Tyr style!

[funk55558]

that's a really good cover but i personally don't like the rythm in the refrain :/

[twiztidlestat]

@funk55558

You mean at 1:14 ? To each his own, i actually love that rhythm, it makes the song Tyr's :)

[abe1sapien]

Awesome!!

[BaronSamediVoodooLoa]

This is actually pretty good compared to the original.
