Apocalyptica- Somewhere Around Nothing Piano Version

[ThePuritania93]

purely awesome!

[Vatharian]

They needed four cellos for same you got with a piano. And I can feel something more from your playing. Definitely I like it better... than original. I love your covers!

[White0523]

OMG! I'm so totally addicted of your videos.. You are just too amazing..

[jkamaniac]

This is definitely better than the original. You rock!

[twooffour]

@jkamaniac

No, it's not. The original is crisp and tight, this sounds more like banging with too much pedal. Not bad, though.

[Vatharian]

@twooffour remember, it's not recorded in studio! It depends also, how much you like this style of playing. I like it very much, and her arrangement is better in some ways, it has something emotional. Apoc's original has just power, no emotion... Well that's what >I< feel - can't blame me for being 'wrong'! ;)

[twooffour]

@Vatharian

I agree, the poor sound quality of an average "home camera" is a minus - but having that said, you don't need studio equipment in order to make a piano (or any acoustic instrument) to sound good :)

Having that said, I agree that Apoc's original lacks emotion (the song itself is a bit bland, and so is their general playing style starting with "Reflections" - there are obviously exceptions, though) - however, I personally don't feel any of that lacking "emotion" in this performance.

[twooffour]

@Vatharian

To my ears, it's even blander, without the power and crispiness. Sounds overall messy and "amateurish".

If you want "emotion", check out vkgoeswild's Master of Puppets cover. I dislike some of her other covers, but this one is pretty good.

She adds some "rubato" and fluent dynamics, which takes away from the "machine-gun power" of the original, but adds a different type of "emotion" and energy.

But yea, ymmv on questions like that.

[Vatharian]

@twooffour Damn, I can't just point it exactly - hey, look here. Maybe... 1:27 - 1:40 ...? It's something that I just feel. And I'm not listening this song for the first time - I've been visiting her video for months, so it's more like general feeling. About Reflections - quick re-listen and you're right. However, my favourite EP is Cult, I didn't like anything more than that so far, save Bittersweet Symphony, and that's for different reasons.

Home cameras usually have mics that SUUUCK big time.

[twooffour]

@Vatharian

I dunno... maybe, somewhere at the back of my head, I get what you mean. Maybe it's the octaves and backbeat harmonies that aren't there in Apoc's arrangement?

But the section that follows directly after sounds better in the original :D

But yea, no need to discuss that forever :)

Cult and Inquisition Symphony are their highlights imo - but there are some real gems on the other albums, too.

[newjokeaccount]
