When You Sleep (My Bloody Valentine Cover)

[Spaztar]

Not totally my cup of tea, but I'm always a fan of people trying new things when doing covers. It's tiring to see people do by the numbers song covers. If I wanted to hear My Bloody Valentine play this, I'd listen to them instead of a cover version. I listen to covers for alternate takes on songs, not to see someone mime them move for move.

In short, just brush off people who are hating on you. We all need to try to be unique and do fresh things, or else we just get lost in a sea of mediocrity.

Im diggin it man. Great cover. Cheers!

[knakveeyy]

haters gonna hate, keep it up dawg.

[yuichitakada22]

超楽しそう！



[HowardXV]

Is your bass also plugged into the hm-2 and into the same guitar amp?

[hannahbanana2633]

This is so cool!

[Magnawulf]

sick dude. i see no problem with changin the original up a bit.

[MrCrgl]

haha this is perfect !

[Mallichae]

Dude this is awesome! I like the vocals too. Puts a different vibe on the song but it's definitely not a bad thing. You rock man!

[johnnypululando]

before appeared your face i knew you were asian. i don t know why

[HowardXV]

Hey there, every single Boss hm-2 demo on YouTube actual plays some metal song except yours. It seems like you're getting some really good fuzz during the verse. Are you still using the hm-2 for the verse just on a different setting than you are using for the chorus?

[SuperTlss]

Is the guitar in standard tuning?

[dimarziotonezone23]

Great cover!

[TheRoryStevens]

such a great cover of an amazing song. great work!

[bjonas0725]

One of my favorite covers on Youtube. Good job. And I like the vocals, personally.

[GrockJake]

Why so many haters? You know... it wouldn't be a cover if he did it exactly like MBV. Sounds like what you guys would like is a clone. Good job funkydestruction, I dug it.

[rokkenroll]

Beautiful, pretty much nailed it!

[wiggaroo]

what are the drums played on please? and excellent cover!

[blackbeltbrown]

this is...

EXTREMELY COOL

[chinogoes69]

Really nice! What's your guitar amp?

[Eblarue2]

nice one. 

[UltimateVenom]

great job. should have put the vocals lower in the mix with the guitar distortion louder then it'd be spot on.

[bassplayer1617]

awesome job dude!

[DJRombanelli]

amazing!

[HitmanJenkins1]

this is a very good cover, it's nice to see that you're not copying exactly, you have your own tone, top notch

[gbbg43]

Nice job, fucking love this song!

[BLACKBEARDSBOOMBOX]

fire the singer he sucks. not to mention he looks like a fuckin nerd. rest is awesome

[Sm3gH3adx]

@BLACKBEARDSBOOMBOX im pretty sure the singer, the guitar player and the drummer are the same people..

[learningrichard]

@Sm3gH3adx was bbbb kidding? Yeah technically excellent cover. Probably need to mess with the vocals some more. Applause for playing the bass the right way -- no fingers, no funk. Drum machine looks ridiculous you got a lot out of it though.

[LiamBamBam]

This is really good mate :) Glad to see a My Bloody Valentine fan :)

[georgedicker182]

very impressed

[TheMarbleIndex3000]

righteous

[askl23]

I thought this was pretty well done. The drums sounded excellent, for some reason I always expect early-Kraftwerk type tone from electronic drums, haha.

[mombourquettegarrett]

The vocals are so terribly off. You're hitting the notes, but are putting the wrong vibe to this song.

[saferbytheshore]

@mombourquettegarrett

Just started listening to MBV, and thank you for making the vocals audible. I've heard the band referenced forever by some of my favorite bands like Placebo, Silversun Pickups and Abandoned Pools. I understand there's a certain vibe, and mood to the Loveless album, but why are the vocals mixed almost completely inaudible? Great job funkydestruction in representing the song in an audible sense, and I thought the vocals were dead on.

[psycho826]

@saferbytheshore ...its supposed to be like that. adds to the dreaminess

[JackWMS14]

@mombourquettegarrett I know what you mean, Whiney indie/emo boy band instead of dream like drifting vocals.

But still, with instrumental done like that you are aloud one downside eh? Top cover mate!

[mombourquettegarrett]

@JackWMS14 No.

[JackWMS14]

@mombourquettegarrett better than most can do I'm sure.

[mombourquettegarrett]

@JackWMS14 which shouldn't be a compliment, haha.

[psycho826]

what kinda guitar effects are you using?

[Brooooaaaadwellll]

VOCALS NEED MORE REVERB K

[Vote1Kodos]

An odd song for an Asian to cover...

[Adriankat]

@Vote1Kodos Why does it matter if he's Asian or not?

[SAMPIONES]

chapeau!

[Ominous09]

Very cool bro i don't really say this about many videos but awesome job

[eraldosjunior]

awsome!

[bleach6bleach]

nice mixing, its super clean

[Dilaltastic]

Asians love MBV LOL

[LuisDivision]

haha that's true

[smackitupNflipit]

This is very well done!

[penelo1185]

see you got the electribe sampler.. i love that thing... nice work

[funkydestruction]

yea i love the electribes alot. too bad they are turning vintage alr. i'm keeping mine as long as i make music!

[ChargerStarfield]

nice vocals, cool harmony you got goin' on.

[DemoColorScheme]

Nice! This worked out pretty well!

[asdfsd997]

great job. was wondering what electronic drumset you used for the song and how happy you are with the machine? trying to figure out what kind to get. thanks for any suggestions.

[funkydestruction]

i used an obscure drum kit made in hong kong. medeli dd-306. it kind of sucks though. one pad failed alr. the magic is in the addictive drums vst plugin that i trigger through midi. i just use the kit as a midi controller.

[x7Senpai7x]

wow you sing wicked good, Favorite cover most definately

[birinbirinbirin]

pretty sweet im 17 and im into this music i listen to them every dar on my ipod so its good to know someone my age listens to them. but keep in mind even tho your good but u will never be able to match there talent but keep up the good work :) you should do you made me realize next

[MrJakePerez]

thats pretty rude...

[StigMF]

Thats just mean, why won't he be able to match their talent?

[DemoColorScheme]

@ birinbirinbirin:

Lol! Now, that's really motivating of you, he'll surely do another video, especially for you. ;)

[mudchild]

the chordz are wrong!

[jacgsun]

Very nice, yes.

[dslavin]

Awesome job! I want that drum thingie. Who makes that one?

[funkydestruction]

yamaha has a table top drum kit too. i wouldnt recommend the one im using. one pad failed alr. sucks man...

[farfle10]

you should have mixed the vocals a lot quieter and blended into the mix

[JimChimney]

Absolutely top notch! Made me smile from ear to ear. They're a great band and this is a wonderful cover! Good work fella!

[funkydestruction]

thanks! will do more mbv covers =)

[Mash1996]
