Opeth - Blackwater Park Cover

[SuperErms97]

Threeeeeeee

[blakfloyd]

Fucking amazing that you guys pulled this off as a trio without it sounding too hollow. It would've been impressive by people of any age but the fact that y'all are this tight as high schoolers makes it even more awesome. Keep the horns flying broskis!

[arcanefistSC]

frickin amazing. could tell u didnt have some kind of multi effects board or pedal but it was sick good job

[Nostaligiia]

Another Opeth cover! /watch?v=Wcc-EaAHtPA&feature=y­outu.

[Melechkibitzer]

Holy shit this is good you guys fuckin rocked that shit

[hiimhahaha]

you guys kick ass man i would have been up front head BANGIN!! it was WAY better than i thought it would be!!

[Blodsriten]

This is pretty good, but it would be better if u had used a pedal to switch between the dist and clean :)

[pigstiches]

I wish I were this cool in high school. props...

[thedirtydeltas]

good bloody effort.

[gtmthegreat]

Wow..well done lads. Very impressive considering the fact that you lacked a guitarist and the distortion pedals.

Progressive death metal song at a school concert? Even better. I'm going to send my kids to that school.

[akdomun]

A great effort overall and thumbs up to those growls! The most important thing is they had the courage and guts to play that song in a mainstream environment which would earn them a lot of haters from people who don't appreciate death metal. I've been in a similar situation before playing in a crowd of metal-haters and I didn't care what they thought. Keep it up guys!

[UbiquitousMilitia]

I guarantee alot of the people in the crowd were like WTF is this shit? I want pop music or rap!

Good job though dudes, kept the time and it sounded like blackwater park to me.

Two thumbs up.

[peetez0r]

fucking awesome, stick together guys and in 3-4 yrs you will be tight as fuck. \m/

[ShiftyStealthy]

that was pretty good and it was even better when i read that you guys were 15 when u played it! nice work

[lebocharp]

Fuck the haters. Best Opeth power trio on Youtube!

[SonataArctica6666]

@lebocharp besides the Opeth Power Trio of Mikael Akerfeldt, Mikael Akerfeldt and Mikael Akerfeldt...

[ryhorn77]

Excellent job guys. And don't listen to those bitches, they just wanted to play it and don't have a band.

[Nostaligiia]

@SpartanLaserCanon

1. Don't be an attention seeking twat.

2. Turn the caps off, for the good of the internet.

3. We were 15 years old when we played this. If you were expecting Martin Lopez himself behind the drum kit, look up actual Opeth footage.

Thank you!

[Kcalmari]

good cover, great vocals! : D

[jamesreadyFTW]

Awsom Awsom job guys M.A and all of Opeth would be stoked on this

[douglasgobbivieira]

BETTER IMPOSSIBLE

[MrJoshmallow]

holy fuck that fat kid is awesome, brilliant cover

[salmonphatshoes]

damn that vocalist kicks ass

[dcboy98]

brave children....

[halo3forlyfe]

saw the first dude in blue, saw the second guys guitar, left the video.

[phreestylesk8r]

@halo3forlyfe but you stayed to comment so you forgot one of the steps you took to leave the video

[sillentdream]

amazing

[all3f0r1]

There's a missing guitarist, but still pretty good !

[FrankmoonDusty]

The drummer is badass!

[Satanisk]

omg xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[davross600]

this is fucking awesome! fuck yeah aussy metal cover haha

[beaner21121]

Holy Fuck! That was epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paulhab12]

fuck haha nice!

[LuxeXx]

The drummer needs to show some attitude...

[Martin211191]

great cover!!! so happy I watched this video! :D good luck for you guys!

[nosferotica1]

I must admit, I didn't expect much either. Normally I don't expect shit, but I can tell you guys actually gave a damn about what you were doing. Keep up the good work, and I know I'll probably be going to your shows and buying your cds in time.

When you move on to writing your own music, that is. You got the first part down though: you play well together.

[Krisiun18]

that was fucking awesome xD

[zappazilli]

This wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. It does have some major flaws tho (the intro mostly)

[GeckLeidsaufer]

Damn! Why doesn´t anybody play stuff like that in school concerts where i live?

[jaaphoofd]

nice growls man..

but next time use a guitar with humbuckers that distortion is awful

[AutophagistCannibal]

When I first saw this I thought I would be embarrased for you, but this is pretty damn good. Good job man. Keep Metal alive!

[TheOsizz]

wheres the other guitar?? GRRHRHHRHR

[Raro404]

Bass player is the next Trevor Strnad.

[TheLolthazun]

The intro isn't right, it's kind of annoying. it goes to some variation of G after the C# power chord.

[febasa77]

Good job guys, u r very good playing, how u will be in 5 years more? keep on mind good critics, bad critics; listen and learn, Keep going!

[pishoseroseropisho]

this whole song kinda sums up to the double killing bass at the end, along with two epic lines... My point: it's pointless playing this without double bass!

[Majidkb87]

whoa whoa whoa!!!!!

loved your growls to be honest.... I like when people do things their way which you just did.... awesome!

[rodpantera]

the drummer sucks but the rest rules

[CloudotTKD]

Why does it sound like your guitars are in normal tuning ( the song should be in Drop D Tuning)? Or maybe you're just out of tune...

[DealeyGW]

Great job guys!!! When the bassist started singing I was really blown away... Nice!

[JakeTheFakez]

Amazing, big respect! Please get a Zoom H2 or similar, would love to see more of this (with better audio quality) :)

[onurmansiz]

btw it's a nice jacket!!!! :)

[Magaki95]

Is that bass and ESP Tom Araya?

[dzo66]

blak metal vokalist

[divine0enigma]

It was good until you played the clean part with distortion... shitty.

[NielsSimenon]

@divine0enigma, The guy doesn't have a pedal. I think it's even more shitty to walk up to your amplifier and turn off the distortion, though he could better just get himself a pedal.

[divine0enigma]

@NielsSimenon make the drummer do it. lol

[Kasparow]

@divine0enigma hahaha

[LefterisDrummer95]

very nice cover and you play it with 3 members .. grats!

[AnonDubb]

yeah well done guys! fuckin great job

[JBT24]

Sounds like Agalloch vocals?

[OpethNyu]

esta buena la version que ustedes hacen para ser una banda pequeña ... xD

[jbschwi]

This is the best cover of a song I have seen in a while from a high school garage band. Please keep posting some more videos of covers and originals! Great Job!!

[jsn1981]

asskicking fat kid!

[metallhue]

Heard of clean sound? playing blackwater park with distortion on the clean parts is just... wrong..

[douglasgobbivieira]

@metallhue ITS A COVER YOU JERKS!!! NOT A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL!!!

[pipe16ss]

FUCK! Great cover, kids!

[cocomayor]

wow i wish i could do that when i was that age.. great job guys

[Dopaminergie]

Thank you very much to provide such a cover song on You Tube. It's so rare to find a good cover of this masterpiece in a school. I had a great time watching you. Many thanks and carry on!

[Enzo49211]

not the best guitarist, but an amazing job out there guys!

[6stringsamurai7]

You guys FUCKIN' ROCK!! Keep up the good work.

[loblit05]

how come they never played anything like this when i was in high school?

[Tsatyricon]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[megabarf20]

Fuckin' sweet----i wish there were kids at my school who listened to Opeth

[SuPeRfRaFaLlEtOr]

nice cover!! \,,/

[arklowrockz]

fair fucks to ye lads ye had a bloody good go at it anyways!

[thrideye387]

man if i was walking by or something and i heard that being played at school i'd shit my pants. awesome. even did vocals haha

[AtlasAtPeace]

This rules! I think you guys fucking kill!

[elfelixg]

Add another guitarist, better drums, a synth player, and a better lead singer and you are off! But you started decently enough.

[horny0donkey0]

@FuckingFaithless no. i've seen opeth fans who listen to slipknot, and thats shit. proves that they dont listent to opeth cause its good music

[astrocreep1988]

I thought this was going to suck as soon as I saw there were only three people but wow, this was a really well done cover.

[SumFallGrace]

FUCKYOUGUYSAREFUCKINGBRUTAL

[mmmikeyxx]

pretty good! 

[Jaikkanen]

They clearly can play but it sounded horrible, really did. It sounds like the guitarist didn't tune his guitar before he came on, because it was completely out of key. Nice effort though.

[leenux05065030]

KICKYASSS !

[rowanrobinson]

You guys rocked! How the hell can you play your instrument AND sing like that at the same time?

Big props for playing that at school too, I wish I had the chance to do something like that.

[x0955863233]

GO GO SUPER BAD!!!!!

[Zombs123]

fuck yeah!! that was awesome guys. :)

[monstermasher666]

damn this was prertty nice

[SecretdwarfRS]

Is it me or didn't the drummer do the double bass part at 4:25? Really well played guys, keep it up! :)

[xbilly666]

Horrible! The voice and the bass player!! Learn how to play opeth!

[VolatusSomnium]

HOLY SHIT, you guys are good!!! we are with you, listen to kinesthesis, we are a death metal band from melbourne.

[mobman47]

I think it was a pretty good cover for being something yall played at school, but the only thing that annoyed the shit out of me was that your guitarist doesn't seem to have a footswitch to play the clean shit and instead played it distorted >=(. But everyone else did good.

[STemplePilots]

dont have acttitude.

[NJMG]

BASTANTE BIEN

[funkinthechili]

Why is it I hear 2 guitars?

[IsraellicA]

good cover! I like the growling

[tjtull]

Wow!! Amazingly well done! \m/ \m/

[aGuyFromPleven]

Great job !

[betterthandirt]

Wow, I was waiting for the vocals to ruin it but they were pretty good! Nice job.

[Th3RussBus]

godd cover man. where i live in nsw all bands are either hardcore or punk or christian :s

[awake1002]

fuckin' great!

[CyanideTrial]

respect.

[AmonBorgir]

Sounds nice in aspect of only having 1 guitar

[MemOpeth]

jajajja its so funny how he sing, he kicks ass but yet its sounds and looks fucking funny

[jeromed2]

double bass du*b a*s :P LOL poor!

[gpunkt1983]

nice...

[tonytrilex]

He sped up at 2:53 sorry to be an ass but you need to learn these things

[mammad12320031]

great keep goin'

[entombment666]

very good, you guys could go somewhere if you keep that up

[Patvaq300]

pretty good cover

[metallicrazy8891]

good vocals dude!

[80smetalchild]

hahahahh this was amazing!!! you guys look as chill as fuck. and u listen to opeth! and the singer has a bowl cut and is wearing a blue tux while playing the playing the bass and growling like a madman!!!!!!

[TheOsizz]

@80smetalchild I think thats cool lol, they look high lol

[MetalBassist73]

this is sick

[Sabin41]

Great attempt guys, I wish I had of tried to perform something like that in school.

[Nevadatyler13]

Oh and your singer needs to sing louder I couldn't here him on the very last measure.Others wise 5\5

[Nevadatyler13]

\m/('-')\m/

Badass my brothers of metal I didnt think there was many Opeth fans around here you guys are American right?

[myung7]

amazing, the growls are insane, are you using inhales?

[Etiainen]

You guys rule! Thumbs up and bows down!

[fpsliams]

fucking sick! can some 1 give me some info about the band and the guys in it?

[skyskraper31]

Fantastic. There is hope for today's youth :) Stay heavy my friends\ m /

[magnumclimber]

awesome. i bet some teachers shat their pants

[j4ck4Iz]

Sucks balls.

[djfrank203]

Dude u guys got balls, and ur school must be sick to let u play this live, the most we get to do is time is running out

[nipsmyname]

I Give you major props for choosing one of Opeths best songs to cover. Also you defiantly did a great job with the song for only 3 people playing it... I bet most the people in your school were like who is Opeth??? lol Great Job Though!

[ttanning]

Props to you for liking a band like Opeth in high school. Most kids are just idiots when it comes to music at that age, so you're way ahead of the curve. Actually not a bad cover. Love the blue suit!

[ttanning]

Also the vocals were right on. Your drummer needs about 10 more drums and cymbals, and you need at least one more guitar player. Nice sound for what you had though.

[jamesnin82]

KILLER!!

[Pablikee]

nice cover dudes! and nice voice!. good job

watch my vids if u want :D

[lanceengland]

Props, dudes!

[BraydonSzafranski]

Haha, they played this shit so wrong...

[Th3Congregation]

You a double bass at the beginning. That's wrong, other than that it's pretty good.

[Nostaligiia]

Thanks for all the comments :)

If anyone is interested, this is an original a little more recently.

watch?v=D2F8Hw1MFJ8

Thanks!

[jmaconejo]

GREat dudes... this is a really hard song and specially w 2 guys less...

[rothwellullathorne]

Doing Blackwater Park with three people is pretty brave. Props, you did it well.

[Jimkemon]

I don't think the camera mic does you justice I'm sure it sounded pretty good at the time :) You need a second guitarist and to get some footswitches to get a clean sound. Maybe get a bassist for live performances so your vocalist can move around more.

[bibu1992]

go and play jonas brothers' songs...

[themetalisgood]

move around a little????

[vjr1113]

pretty good

i would have done master's apprentice tho

[666Meshuggah]

good guitar player, decent vocals, uninspiring drums

[JACKSONGUITARDUDE]

im with omgnuub, there is nothing to be commended for in this video

[bob20202020]

Much respect for pulling this off at a school. And with one guitarist....? At least you didn't try to play anything off of Morningrise with one guitarist.

[angelolorenzolo]

doesnt sound too good..

[thedoooood]

you're just using power chords.... thats' not right..

[HLkiller2]

Doesn't matter, sounds good anyway.

Drums were boring though... :/

[VentoRdrummeR]

@HLkiller2 yeah but at least solid...

clean guitars would've been a must I think

[Sharigan561]

Not bad at all guys!

[firesquare16]

great attempt!

[omgnuub]

this is absolutly terrible, wrong chords in the intro, lazy drums and sucky vocals. yep you did just about everything wrong.

[brobst23]

need a pedal thats about it...nice cover

[Opranius]

woooow =)

[kyeting]

wow simon's hair is short :P

[nostalgiaplatz]

Plus, I am pretty sure if Mikael or anyone from Opeth saw this, they would be truly amazed. :-)

[nostalgiaplatz]

Dudes, continue to work on this... you guys are perfect, vocals, bass, guitar, drums - absolutely astonishing! You're still teenagers in your early manhood and you are able to pull a cover like this...heavy congrats.

[asdewqasdfgh]

i saw the titles and i just had to see this....almost made me sick. at least ur taste is good.

no one can cover opeth successfully

[mazrio128]

Wow! At first I thought this was a joke, sorry. Now all I can say is great cover, you kids kicked ass! Keep on rockin!!

[stfanani]

metal band? could the bass player stand any straighter? nyway, this was pretty kickass for some tassie blokes. SHOW US UR SCARS LOLOLOL

[allnightdwight]

ah looks like the entire population of hobart, nay tasmania, turned out for this gig.

(btw good work and good balls for doing this at a school thing)

[TheDarkDragon14]

the drummer deserves to have better drums but he stil got the job done..........not to fond of the singer though.

[Naahemot]

great cover, 5 star, way to go guys ^^

[BrutalSalmon]

Best song you could have chosen to play.

props to u all

[AlexLococo]

any opeth fan is someone that knows about good music

[horny0donkey0]

@AlexLococo not really. most opeth fans dont know shit about music.

[AlexLococo]

couldn't tell, i haven't met a single person right know that knows about music and dislikes opeth

maybe they don't know how to play, but that's just one part of the knowledge

[horny0donkey0]

@AlexLococo most opeth fans are idiots. they just listen to opeth becasue they want something "brutal". they dont know shit about opeth

[AlexLococo]

@horny0donkey0 well that means they aren't opeth fans, are they?

[AeacusVrnm]

@horny0donkey0, I listen Opeth just because they're not 100% pure brute force. I love them because of the symphonic elements they have.

@video, they did a great job, but you screwed the nice calm part that's the most epic part of the song, by playing it way to short and with distortion. Still a fucking nice job!

[Molnarranlom]

@horny0donkey0 Oh really now? That is one of the MOST stupid comments I've EVER read on YouTube. You, my dear Troll have got the same amount of IQ as your shoesize. Good evening.

[mp3guy]

Um, where's the double bass?

[Bitchin456]

WOW , THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE AMAZING , THE SINGER WAS GREAT. You guys are the best , keep playing , i wish you would play at our school lol , i think everybody would shit their pants

lol hey wat did the people out there in the crowd had to say about this or wat was there looks?
