Lady Gaga - Paparazzi (metal cover)

[NickLikesMusic1]

Holy s*** this is good haha



[Vortru2263]

So, you are a member of THreat Signal?

[2127z]

This is so sick

[jloane]

nice job man sounds great



[AttitudeCastle]

How did you get the vocal track on it's own?

[jloane]

@AttitudeCastle he probably took the recording and filtered out everything but the middle channel, where the vocals are most prominent. Any decent recording prog has something for this.

[kirkpetrucci]

@AttitudeCastle Check out acapellas(dot)net

[Drewb18c1]

looove this

[0ivo0]

now lady gaga sounds mutch better!

cool solo

[Perceleable]

good brutal guitar sounds. 1:15 -> makes me shivers.

[CarcassOfBodom]

the intro sounds like killing in the name by Rage against the machine

[elwulfo666]

her ass looks awesome on that pic...

[dogcali2001]

This is fucking great

[n0llie420]

not a fan of gaga but this is fucking tits

[diasspeed]

after i heard this i went back and tried to listen all this female vocal metal bands but no one sounded so cool as the combination of your guitar and gaga's voice.i dont understand it. maybe because gaga's voice is so different from all the metal ladies, sounds like from a teenage girl or something and so pop-like of course, but it blends so good with your heavy riffs.i really wish i could listen to more metal like this cover you did.

[Zed1967]

I wonder if Lady GaGa knows that the metal head community has adopted her as their own?

[blashyrhkRAAA]

I really don't like threat signal, but I like the shit you do a lot.

[WarriorArrow]

Prepare to get a lot more views.

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Is this the tone for the new TS album?

I hope

[BlueSummer05]

This is fucking amazing!



[ChrisxInfiniteCrisis]

What Drums plugin did u use?

Sounds awesome, great work

[LagunaBullet]

Simply better than the original one

[yatindimebag]

This just made me listen to more of Lady Gaga. Lol jk. KIRKPETRUCCI FTW! \m/

But I was just wondering - How did you just get the vocals of the song?

[squeezemylever5]

100 times better than the original

[bagoge2]

@squeezemylever5 only 100?



[hitarophoenix]

Sounds like Meshuggah.

[Sonofanoob]

Usually I hate the "ironic" metal covers of pop songs but this is pretty damn good.

[MetalChild96]

you should do born this way in metal haha

[kssael]

4 people prefer Bleed-a-razzi

[MegaMrMetal666]

beats nightwish! :D

[buddhastalin]

it's like evanescence but not shitty! A+++

[comunistass]

great cover too bad the voice of that bitch ruins everything

[iExisttt]

I hate lady gaga but i FKN LOVE THIS SONG

[espibanez]

THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Will there be riffs like this in the new TS album? Also, your tone is way better here then Vigilance?

[7thString84]

HAHAHA! I LOVE THAT!!! xDDDD

Great rhythm work and unbelievable solo!!! I must say... I´m a LITTLE jealous... xDDDD

[a7xbfmv23]

DAMN hate to love but that was sick

[PHANTOMZ0NE]

POWERGROOVE!!!!



[ChewbaccaFetus]

this song made me cream in my pants a lil. you should submit this to gaga herself she probly would too. Great remix!

[kirkpetrucci]

@ChewbaccaFetus Thanks haha. I totally would submit this to her, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

[ChewbaccaFetus]

@kirkpetrucci your welcome. btw, you do excelent covers, but uhh yeah me neither. :p

[BretHartX]

@kirkpetrucci you really should



[blashyrhkRAAA]

@kirkpetrucci Burn it to a cd, go out into the woods and decapitate a bear, insert the cd into the head, send it through the mail as a "special delivery".

[dnkzz]

dude i love your invader (L)

[barbinhadicabra]

great work . you made Lady Gaga listenable.

[someguitarist69]

Do you use a drum program for the drums? Or is that just a well triggered kit?

[subnoize85]

@someguitarist69 it was alex from threat signal on the drums.

[ESP4thaWin]

I don't like you anymore :(

You play waaaay to good. You even make shitty songs THIS good.

Seriously, wtf.

[tabotabojayar]

you should have editted the vocals a little bit, cause some parts doesn't synch very well.... anyway, very beautiful.... check out my bad romance version in my channel...anyway, i didn't do the instrumental, i used one of slipknots instrumentals...

[tabotabojayar]

if lady gaga will change genre...it would be the next arch enemy...

[erbonetti]

Is this the members of threat signal on the instruments other than guitar, or did you play them all?

[kirkpetrucci]

@erbonetti Yeah I did all of the guitars. The only other member of TS involved in this was Alex. He wrote the drum parts.

[erbonetti]

@kirkpetrucci Oh sweet. I love it. TS needs to come over to Michigan. I really want to see you guys!

[MrMeAndMyVideos]

is this a subtle way of telling us you guys replaced jon

[CallOfTheCarrion]

THIS IS TIGHT! :D

[death1x]

pretty much a great metal cover..

[SMoKeScReeeeN]

that was sick.

[Conor4049]

This is epic, Travis! Nice to hear a meal-pop cover with the original vox too.

[yogurtpilot]

this = awesome :) sorry if you've already answered this before but what are you using to track the drums? sounds great :)

[00Dakka]

oh man you put polymeters in this? awesome

[blackpoopshadowfear]

lol Holy fuck !!! i had no Idea you could make this song so friggin METAL!!! \m/\m/ Very Cool!

[zoioazu]

i didnt like that guitar, he lost the melody sometimes

[amadeuscr]

@zoioazu Progressive Rock is not usual 4/4 following melody ... that's what it makes it freaking awesome ! .

[amadeuscr]

that is how lady gaga should do her music ... great job man

[Kroed]

haha Lady Djent.  Awesome haha.

[Fizzwut]

Guitar is to loud in the mix. Also, I think I've met my limit on how much meshuggah rip-off (aka djentz) I can take in 2011. Just litening to chugging on the low strings alone makes me want to scratch my ears of now. Can this fad please die now?

[bucko60]

@Fizzwut - no, this fad can't die.i have a better idea though, you should just quit listening to it.

[paz321]

It's a nice twist, but would be better if u could hear her singing a bit louder. But otherwise a nice tune

[m3th0dm4n]

Your skill makes Lady Gaga tolerable :D

[sesspleftocore]

so why no video for this?

[GuitarPlayerJordan]

Not even going to lie this is pretty sick Trav :P 

[Ouijack170]

Killer man this is awesome!

[LiloHart]

you play for threat signal right?

[kirkpetrucci]

@LiloHart Yep

[LiloHart]

@kirkpetrucci

i shoulda looked at ur videos before i asked that lol

great cover man. me and my brother heard it on seven string lol

[blackpoopshadowfear]

@kirkpetrucci WHAT!!!? RationalEyez ! eff off are you kidding me?

[TriallByFire]

Awsome bro! I've send it to my friends, this is worth listening at. 

[hammlars]

damn dude! love the riffs. whatd you tune it to?

[therealgtarbeast666]

neat interp but i like the messugah bleed papperazzi a lot more haha

[gardaGGH]

it's more of a rock then metal, no scream, but it's still AWESOME!!!!

[TriallByFire]

@gardaGGH No it's melodic metal

[xXxglassgowdreamxXx]

@gardaGGH metal isnt all screaming

[GU1T4RG0D1594]

you dont by chance have any tabs to this song do you? :D

[METALLICA6547]

i removed my comment so everyone can quit whining about my use of freedom of speech

[MacTheVicious1]

take gagas voice out and you've got awesome threat signal song :)

[humofdarkness]

increible !!!

[DannyVss]

sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kk

[freddo101]

Awesome job, definitely one of the more creative metal covers I've come across...loved the solo!

[Flaringo]

oh god yes

[vengeanceoiram1]

whos did the vocal?

[DannyVss]

@vengeanceoiram1 vocals are from the original song.

its lady gaga

[jonnybarvo]

that's the first time i've listened to a lady gaga song all the way through. that in itself, is a victory for you. breakdown and solo were especially sick :)

[SKGProductions24]

travis djenting up lady gaga, sick as fuck honestly fuck these kids haha

[Coverguy88]

wow! that's metal :D

what your lowest string is? :D f#?

[voices1]

So is going to be played at future TS shows?

[MrFluffay]

damn, she has a great ass

[itLEAKED]

travis, slayer as usual bro... can't wait to see the threat in the sarnia area again... PEACE

[IsaSartor]

EPIC.

[ConceptsProject]

Did you record this in mono our stereo inputs? For two rhythm guitar tracks, would one come from the right speaker, and the second from the left? Would they have the same output?

[kirkpetrucci]

@ConceptsProject Yeah I record the guitar tracks mono. The rhythm guitars are panned 100% right and 100% left.

[MariosGuy]

damn look at her ass. i mean his ass. i mean....wait what... D:

[drawnacrol]

Never listened to this song before but the guitars sound awesome

[MariosGuy]

@METALLICA6547 there is no way that it would affect his band. not everybody is like you. an open mind is the best mind to have. and this actually sounds very good(i dont listen to lady gaga but this video sounds good)

[METALLICA6547]

@MariosGuy yeah the music sounds good,but why would any metal head cover that hollywood trash,i listen to all types of shit but not that garbadge,i dont like it ,and i left a comment in THE YOUTUBE FREDOM OF SPEECH COMMENT SECTION so troll on,i dont care what you think anymore than i care about lady hollywood trash gaga

[GameKid98]

@METALLICA6547 Dude, he's just doin it for fun, calm the crap down, you can think whatever you think about this.

[METALLICA6547]

@GameKid98 im calm,i just thought when i subbed kirkpetrucci this was the last thing that would show up in my vids to watch,im not bashing him,i just hate loser gaga

[MariosGuy]

@METALLICA6547 ok just shutup man, no sense in talking to you if you're gonna be an obnoxious kid about everything. dont reply

[METALLICA6547]

@MariosGuy blah blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[kirkpetrucci]

@METALLICA6547 haha it's cool man. I respect your opinion. Everyone in TS are Gaga fans! Her music is so catchy haha.

[METALLICA6547]

@kirkpetrucci yeah dude i hope i dont offend you,i just loath her,i love what your doing,just not the gaga although it would sound great on its own,lol peace dude,threat signal now please.lol

[BlackShadow451]

did you do this on your own, or with help??

[chiknzrule99]

@METALLICA6547 u mad bro?

[METALLICA6547]

@chiknzrule99 i aint mad ,are you did i hurt your feelings with my opinion,it seems you cant leave a comment on youtube unless it fits everyone else's ideal,where is the freedom and openmindedness in that

[Krowleyy]

@METALLICA6547 nothing like having an open mind, huh buddy? ;)

[METALLICA6547]

@Krowleyy is it a law to have a open mind,liking lady gaga isnt open minded its seriously disturbing,for the fact that most of you commenting on my comment will go around and say ,metallica aint metal anymore they soldout,and shit like slipknot sucks,or disturbed sucks and then you'll go listen to this shit,thats my point,though i dont listen to slipknot or disturbed i sure would over lady gaga,,his cover of the guitar is great but she is a CUNT

[flex260]

Awsome!! was expecting a video of u playing it., What guitar did you use on this track?? did you use a Pod XT, like ur buddy Feener uses?? What do u use to model ur drums??? sorry for all the questions, love the song!!

[xRazr567x]

@flex260 im pretty sure he uses an axe fx

[FaxMachineDx39]

so beast i almost cant deal

[DownTheFrets200x]

holy....shit.... 7 string for the win

[vugolol]

Travis, I fucking love you :D

[Dymosthenes]

I like the rhythm of the guitar a lot, very nice cover!

[appacana]

Its a complex guitar work man, awesome! Fuck I wish I know how to play that

[jawkster]

djent djent djent paparazzi, solid cover~

[shortyxxy]

Just amazing, great work again man!

[EastCoastRC]

Wow, this actually blends together quite nicely. Excellent job. Guitar might be just a tad bit too loud though.

[GuitaringEgg]

Didn't like it tbh. The actual music was good, but the vocals really didn't go.

[LarcherESP]

Yo dude, how did you get the music out and just obtain the voice ?

[mechajabo]

@LarcherESP Pretty sure it was just the acapella track

[liklik125]

SOLO

[oddclown]

that was fuckin tight, you should metalize kesha...it's fun

[svtrunner]

I think this is real cool. Good work!

[ShadowSamwa]

When I saw "Lady Gaga - Paparazzi" I was like "WTF?! O.O I will unsibscribe to that bitch who uploaded that now!!", then I saw the (metal cover)...

I was like =D

[Vguitarist105]

that was classic man!!

nice solo also xD.

\M/

[Deylan06]

Travis, you should do a video of you playing it!

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

Djenty Gaga!

[Chisuz]

wow nice riffs man!!!

[Tori965]

I read Lady Gaga, uploaded by kirkpetrucci, and I thought NOOOOOO DAMN, then I read metal cover *phew*

[dudebrotherdudebro]

HA!!!!!! That is fucking awesome!! Nice job Travis!

[LindbergProductions]

Cool version. Tight guitars. But to me it sounds too much like gaga is in another place, the mix don't work for me. Anyhow, good work!

[RomanianDanIrukandji]

Sexy cover! Only half related, but have you heard the Meshuggah vs Lady Gaga mashup- Bleedarazzi?

[Duddamaniac]

Why did you do this? I´m not against it, i like it (well, the Instruments, not her voice) but i´m curious how you got that idea? xD

Oh, and the solo was great!^^

[spyderbrd]

nice.

[creamer88]

lady gaga + shred = listenable!

[1995pg]

@creamer88 Make a drumcover of it!

[MegadethPWNMetallica]

nicely done

[pi3141592653589795]

Metal remixes make anything sound badass. Good job, and thank you.

[A1ex1sBB]

Did you record with an Agile aswell ?? Love that tone !

[MetalObsession]

Good stuff man!

[spookman117]

nicely done
