De Heideroosjes were an outstanding band in Holland. They were mostly a punk b and. It's just fun to cover a number of them, but what already is said, not every Epica number has to sound like this...
This is a video of the NEW BAND of the Rhapsody of fire's drummer Alex Holzwarth and BlindGuardian's bassist Oliver Holzwarth called PERGANA (female gothic metal)
When I heard her voice for the first time 5 years ago I felt in love ... And everytime I hear , again , again and again , I fall in love so much more !!!! ♥
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The original is way better. Epica shouldn't do any more punkrock covers. It's just.. worthless. I respect Epica for their music though before I'm getting loads of thumbs down because you ppl think I'm trolling or hitting the Spam button, but it's just my opinion. Heideroosjes' original version is infinite better.
@MetalDarkElf TBH, you should NEVER, EVER expect a cover song to be better than the original. You are not even supposed to compare them. They are supposed to sound different. They ARE supposed to be different.
People who say the original is better dont know anything about music? Lol, what a buttload of crap.
The Trivium cover of 'Master Of Puppets' isnt better than the original, its the same for AFI's 'My Michelle', Dynamite Boy's 'TNT', Plain White T's 'Song 2', It Dies Today's 'Enjoy The Silence', Avenged Sevenfold's 'Walk', KoRn's 'Creep', The Blackout's 'My Generation' etc etc
There are some covers which are better, but honestly, it's just an opinion which differs per person.
Hey, mr Bigmouth, stop calling other people names. Basically you're saying, how harder the chords are, the better the music is? Well, that in fact is a buttload of crap. Have you ever heard of Li Jie, or Mina Kitamura? They are both very, very talented musicians, MILES ahead of Epica, but I think Epica's better. Being better isn't defined in terms of how hard something is to achieve.
Lol @ you getting all angry about it. This is a discussion, not a "get-angry-within-3-posts"-contest. That being said, "Better" is such a meaningless word anyway. You think they're better because they play harder chords; MetalDarKElf thinks de original is better because its the original; and I think Epica's version is better, just because it's another genre. Or is that wrong? Should I take music theory too? :/
@arturesteve Because Epica like to push their own boundaries with their covers and try new things, but seem to prefer a natural progression as far as their written material goes.
I would honestly hate if Epica started sounding like this regularly, yes it's a fantastic and interesting cover but it doesn't have the charm and atmosphere that I know Epica by. I love that they break out of their style with covers, though. Gives you a fresh new perspective regarding their capabilities.
nice cover!! and I really like the lyrics, becuase for some the lyrics can sound funny but it really happens sometimes we don't really listen to the people and maybe they are screaming for help
Gods, songs like this just say why I never get tired of Epica. I have sooooo missed the death grunts! Go go, Mark Jansen and Simone Simons! Epica forever!
Why this is what heavy metal is about. It's fast, heavy, melodic, and everthing in between. With Isaac Delahaye and Ariën van Weesenbeek both writing stuff for the new album you are going to get stuff that is very close to melodic death metal to.
Just so you all realize... The newest Epica album will be the best yet. Simone's voice just gets increasingly better, as well as the skill of the other band members. "Design Your Universe" will be perfect.
Yeah I don't see them playing this live. I would like to hear them try it. But it does not seem like the kind of cover they would play live unless they change a few things.
I think so too. Arient won't grunt while drumming...Purhaps they will pas this job to coen... And to be honest I also very interested at Simone's part as well (:
Yeah I like the whole cover song. I would to hear the really song from the Heideroosjes though. Just for the fact that I would like to hear how Epica changed it from a punk to a metal song.
Epica has played Replica live too, there is video in tube,also they have played Crystal Mountain live several times but not in The Classical Conspiracy ;)
Well, when a famous band remakes a song of another one, the result is something completely new. I like this sound of Epica a lot. It seams to me a very good job. Just Simone voice is sufficient to give it a totally new fashion and attractiveness.
WOW, Remembers me the good old days of Catamenia, with simone of course, i was indeed expecting a great song coming from epica, and is surpased my expectations, for a punk cover, this sound much like a Symphonic Black metal song!!!
Well it sounds a little like Floor for me ...but to me Floor sounds perfect,so I dont think Simone sounds too much like her,and I love Vibeke too,but I think Simone sounds more similar to Vibeke.
0.55 is the most single beautiful picture of Simone ever, I love the way her hair blows everywhere when she performs (based upon pictures, becauase I haven't seen them live)
haha i quess he meant with boy choir the stuff Arien, Coen and Mark does on verses, like in the beginning ''long time, no see, that's nice- look great''
