i don't even care this is a sick cover, i don't listen to lostphrophets, but this is really good? everyone moaning about the drums being shit, yeahh they are different, it's a cover, by a known band, why the fuck would it be exactly the same?
I wasn't the biggest fan of them, but Lostprophets was my first gig. Before/in between each of the acts, Davidian was played. I rocked the fuck out, the emo kids looked at me wondering what the hell was going on, haha. Gotta say, big respect for liking the song and for trying it when it's so different to their regular stuff.
I had my doubts and I was expecting it to be terrible. But fucking hell that's quite good considering what kind of band lostprophets is. Lots of respect for this
i was a losprophets fan long before i became a metalhead but once i heard they covered this song i had to check it out and man it is easily the heaviest song i've ever heard them play. machine head rocks losprophets rock!
IT'S SO FUNNY to see in which point it irritates you, Metal fans, that a group as Lostprophets covered a MachineHead's song :D
But you're all dumbs! They always covered any kind of songs from Destiny's Child, Phil Collins, Jam Underground, INXS or Justin Timberlake to Machine Head, The Cure, The Strokes or Duran Duran! They like the risk and the disguise. You just grumble because you have prejudice, Come on! Open your little mind ;)
@zumbi515 You're just a purist, i know when a singer sings or screams, and each singer sings and screams differently (i am a singer btw). I listened to the two versions again and I approve my point of view.
I know this is 6 months late, but wtf had you been smoking? Ian Watkins' screams more powerful than Robb Flynn's?
Nobody with a working pair of ears would EVER claim Watkins has the more "powerful" voice, you're just an idiot who is also ignoring the 14ish years difference between the 2 recordings and the fact Lostprophets overdub and multitrack pretty much everything to death. Whereas Burn My Eyes was a very raw album and produced in a very different era of music
This isn't actually that bad, but then again it's not terribly different from the original. I almost would've liked them to try something different with it. With that said, I'm not adding this to a playlist anytime soon. I'll just listen to the original. Classic.
I'm gonna get slated for this. I'm a huge machine head fan and don't really like lostprophets. But this version is better. Robb Flynn's vocals have improved immensely since the davidian days and he could wipe the floor with this if they re-recorded it, but if you compare the two the vocals are stronger on this one.
Seriously, this is amazing! This isn't even Lost Prophet's style, they don't do metal at all,and to go from rock, to this, is a BIG acheivement! I personally think that they did a great job! The vocals are completely different than what they usually are. AND the instreuments. I'm surprised they could do a metal song actually. I didn't think Ian had the vocals or anything! It's brilliant! Seriously, all of you cut them some slack, they've done really well on this cover!
You have to appreciate the fact that this isn't Lostprophet's play style at all, because of that Lostphrophets are fucking awesome and so is this song.
Everyone complaining, shut the fuck up, it's a decent cover, sure, the solos not the same but who can really compete with Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn? It's a decent cover, end of.
Oh well, it's still a good cover. The only reason most people are hating on this is because it's Lostprophets, if someone played you this and didn't say who it was most people would probably agree it's a good cover.
what the fuck is the vocalist trying to do. he sounds like zach efron vomiting. the instrumental is ok but not powwrfull enough. the original is better.
@12freaky06 Ian and a couple of the other dudes from LP were all into their thrash metal like slayer and metallica before, so im not surprised by this at all. I am by no means against pop music, but seriously, LP declined after Fake sound of progress, quite rapidly.
@ManDevil74 it is you pillock its was on a kerrang cd and hes even talked about it interviews :P it is an insult to machine head, but at the same time lost prophets used to be a numetal band b4 they were faggy
@maydayparadeftsk i looked up davidian cus i wanted to watch the video; then i saw this atrocity. and some of their early stuff was good, but now they are a faggy fashion pop band.
@opiatesystem in what way are lostprophets pop are you actually deaf listen to there stuff like its not the end of the world or rooftops or look up everyday combat
@maydayparadeftsk you are joking right? cus rooftops is one of the poppiest songs kerrang has ever played. lost prophets used to be ok, now they are emo-pop-rock nonsense. their singer looks so lame it is unimaginable. and i have friends who are fans, but even they admit they are hella shit compared to how they used to be. lol rooftops isnt pop haha
@opiatesystem rooftops isnt pop i no if you think it is your deaf and where not just talking about rooftops look up lostprophets everyday combat its not pop at all and ian watkins doesnt look lame its how people dress
@maydayparadeftsk gonna have to disagree on your opinion of what pop is, cus lost prophets are definately a poppy rockband. and noone dresses like ian watkins does in that video. WHITE LEATHER. you are deluded, lets stop this conversation now cus it could go on forever. im gonna get back to listening to machine head now. bye bye xx
@RJDcoolguy how can such a pansy ass emo band expect to even be able to do such a fucking great song by Machine Head? IF a band covers it let it atleast be a decent fucking metalband. Lostprophets making metal, gtfo.
@RJDcoolguy nah they killed it bud lol, no punch to it at all no passion either. Rob isnt the best of vocalist but this is weak and need logan on the guitar for this song and old also
@thegriffinshouse nah i wouldn't say killed it, they made it their own, i've heard this song covered many times before but prophets deffo earned this cover x)
@thegriffinshouse hell no. machine heads vocals sound retarded. like they dont mean it. they need to scream like they mean it. also, guitars here have better tone, like the mutes during the riffs and all. just better sound. then after the first growl they double the guitars... lostprophets know what they're doing. sounds pretty solid.
