Gus Black(?) - Don't Fear The Reaper

[usahockeyplaya08]

This is so sick...plays in the first scene of SCREAM when you see Billy (The Killer)...awesome foreshadow

[aliceinchainsrox13]

the original song was pretty scary

[gmansi]

Smalliville !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PRUDENCE19831]

This is better than the original...imho.

[TheRockergirl82]

Alright, so it's not Ville Valo, but he does sound like him. You could at least give him that,

[misser902]

I raped the replay button like my boyfriend raped my panda hat, which is now in therapy.....

[187bdawg]

Wow....ive listened to this 6 times in a row....and play to do it another 6 :)

[Schutzstafell]

Wish dumbasses would stop saying this is Gus Black, it was established ages ago.

[Jmiudo]

This is fucking Gus Black!

[Heinekenska]

Yes, he is Gus Black

[foomantx2008]

Gus - also did a cover of VH's Aint Talkin Bout Love. Great artist, haven't seen nor heard anything from him since the mid-to late 90's...on me for not looking.

[CynicalSavior]

It's amazing how many people think this is HIM....

This is Gus Black... originally off the Scream soundtrack

[mackeaveli]

Its HIM Villi Valeo he has a second version I like better with more organ and a cool guitar riff.

[CRYSISxxSTRIKER]

Scream brought me here (Y)

[johnyzz28]

Amazing rendition, BOC original, and remakes and covers dont usualy cut it. This is a great performance on acoustic. The original is a classic and this took it up a noch in my opinon.

[TylerDurden6996]

#needsmorecowbell

[heoharris]

Blue Oyster Cult originally, this version is pretty good, he made it his own

[amrice]

funny how people diss this song, saying it's emo loooool HIM is love metal it's emo with heavy guitars this cover actually sounds dark rather than 'emo'

[TheHammakavula]

original version is by Blue Öyster Cult

[thomasxfrank]

Interpret: Gus Black

Song: Don´t Fear (The Reaper)

Album: Autumn Days - Official Bootleg (it´s on iTunes)

[KNO3CS]

This has the dream like quality of a persons last thoughts before dying.

[JonseyAlabama]

Very Sad Very Sad. there is life after death.

[dazzex40]

Uh, this isn't HIM, folks.

[pr0l0w]

ya no cowbell - but awesome strings. this songs meant to create calm

[etrigon666]

Great version, this isnt emo. It sounds more like a love song like all HIM songs. Just puts a differant spin on an agreed classic i think :)

[lumberjack5]

I really hate this take, I'm sorry HIM fans, but this was a classic rock song not an emo song...

[ikkedoch]

@lumberjack5 Yeah totally agree with you. I really don't like this version. Making the song so goddamn sad ruins the meaning.

[angelface01451988]

@lumberjack5 HIM is SO not emo lol

[axlrotten1985]

This is a good version. I recommend looking to your right at 'Related Videos' and click on the one where it shows 2 girls, one with a cigarrette. I love her version of the song!

[gunitfor]

should be a woman singin that' just sounds like bum sex

[18YunaYubi18]

I think this is the version that comes out on Scream when Sidney and Billy are making out... Teehee! I feel all romantic now lol

[zeroskurt]

So do we have to compare every cover with the original.I think it's pointless to say that the originals are often better than the covers, but that doesnt mean the covers suck, does it?

[BigTee41190]

Man I love this song. Don't get me wrong, the original by The BOC is awesome song. But this song has something about it that can put me to sleep. And thats why i love it.

[WreckMr]

Great cover... Song is great from the oyster cult and from Gus..fuck u ignorant idiots who judge. It's art and passion. If u can't see that well that's ur opinion man---

[JoeCnNd]

yeah,Well that's like your opinion man.

[NChatman7]

I love this cover. It is beautifully haunting.

[DEATHEXISTFOREVER]

dont sound like ville valo

[truth8723]

This version is on the Scream soundtrack. It's by Gus.

[bugsbunnygotshot]

this sucks, BLUE OYSTER CULT 4 EVAH!!!!!

[larryharrison11]

Hey Joint4200- are you that much of a fucking peon that you cant appreciate a different style? Its little fucking worms like you-you cocksucker that makes it hard for a different viewpoint to shown . Real slick you fucking asshole Why dont you go piss on the pope or something

[candlemasscade]

I'm with him man. This Sucks. I mean if your gonna cover a song you better at least be able to match the musical prowess of the artist, regardless of which style your covering it in. Don't just throw some lyrics someone else wrote over some typical coffee shop acoustic garbage with a little violin. Why don't you go listen to the original and tell me how well it compares?

[eyeadore]

Candlemasscade, covering a song in exactly the same way would be pointless though.. You have to bring new elements to it, or else you're just playing a boring cover of a really good song. In my opinion, though.

[gustavofurret]

@candlemasscade somtemis covers are better man, blue monnday for example, orgy kicks ass!!

[joint42000]

this is fucking gay fuck HIM blue oyster cult rules

[roni14518]

he sounds like he is tired,

[fischerrox]

This is it, thank you!

I have been looking for this cover for a long time, when i downloaded it, It downloaded as HIM, and I did n't know who it was. This is by far, the best cover.

[starrynight3]

this version goes right through you..awesome

[PKTO92]

This one is in smallville. ep19 season 2

[tickedoffnow]

yes this was in Smallville! XD

[BloodyPainfulDeath]

It beith the song that played when Billy was in Sidney's room! :D Screeeaaaammm...freaking love those movies.

[ToshiBecca]

Totally!

[truefreak131]

the original is better!

[shaynapalmer26]

pretty sure this is from the scream soundtrack

[Dagonet182]

yeah its on the scene when he sneaks into her room at the beginning

[coygina]

yup "pg 13" moment

[disiscotown]

yeah it is

[coygina]

yup it is...love it!

[0Dark0Raven0]

prettyy

[FranceskoGiuiell]

The ORIGINAL version sounds much better.

[soulonfiregirl]

Of Course is not Ville Valo! ... It doesn't even sound like him =S..

The Him Version is not acoustic and it is in the greatest lovesongs' album from HIM featuring a finnish female singer...

If there is an acoustic version from HIM please i would like to hear it , I love HIM!

[disiscotown]

hmm it does kinda sound like ville

[Vomitonthecross]

This fucking horrible. HIM sucks.

[hotelthehookers]

you suck this is not HIM you idiot

[NusiWu]

It is Ville Vallo!!!!

[TheUntraceableZ]

nah, he has his own version with his band HIM

[mbldorkt]

It´s from the Scream OST

[AlizeeXOXO]

im pretty sure this ISNT ville and it IS gus black

[ringocrowley666]

this is in the originol halloween and the remake!

[chicomexican]

This song is my favorite song but whoever made this vid totally sucks at singing and was way off the pitch and beat good guitar though

[browneclowne]

isent this version in the film scream ? when billy and sidney r in the bedroom....

[PromiserOfDeath]

Yeah i like Blue Oyster Cult's version!! I loved hearing it on that game prey and that movie The Frighteners!

[justinkredabul]

dude you have to email this song, cause I tunes is gay and doesn't have it

[theredjelousy]

lol I love how people are like," I like blah blah blah's verzion,"

Uhm.. personally Blue Oyster Cult did the best job. Lol I just know somebodys gonna be like,"LIKE OMFG DEHY SUK!!11!11," But uhm.. no. lol

[Morzon08]

This version kicks the shit out of all version's, in my opinion, i like the acoustic sound and the slower pace in it.

[vayaeva]

Elliott Smith version is far way better than that one...

[ravenrage07]

It's gus black, not HIM. Sounds like the singer from HIM but its gus black.

[DarkYookai]

What? It is Ville Valo who sings. The singer from HIM.

[NChatman7]

No, this is Gus Black.

[zeroxeryu]

Yeah I get the direction they were going with, but when covering a song that epic you need to do a phenominal job covering it. they just.. didn't. it's.. okay. =\ I expected more from HIM

[Dothejoo]

Needs more cowbell.

[westinpeace]

this version is so simple but its awesome, it reminds me of the bedroom scene from scream

[ravenrage07]

EXACTLY FUCKIN EXACTLY! That is exactly what it reminds me off.

[KREKRE122]

haunting and sexy at the same time

[NChatman7]

my thoughts exactly.

[eehbiertje]

and another fucked up version of a great song...

[Eternety1988]

I got this Album too and when I listen to the other tracks (and these are definitly HIM tracks!) It sounds like this IS sung bei Ville Valo.

and I listened to some tracks by Gus Black and that sound very different to the singer of this song.

Anyway. It is a great song, doesn't matter who sang it. Thanks for uploding it!

[TheSGS5]

i believe on the soundtrack for Scream, its listed as Gus.

[ravenrage07]

it is

[Richchiman1990]

Blue oyster cult version better :P

[lof4ence]

it`s cool ^^

acoustic variants are great

[Billo1234321]

BOC ROX....enough said. well not really but STILL BOC will always own dis song they just do it to well lol. good shit eh?

[starrynight3]

i think this is the version that was in the movie scream right?

[agent4477]

it totally made the bedroom scene

[deadtwice34]

yea, i saw that part and i thought ".....i know this song"

[crunkdonkey24]

good

[friendsfan756]

i love this sonmg wehre can u get it

[fufycasu]

i'd like to see amy and HIM working for a single together!!

[hotrod2314]

i hate to break it to some of u but this is not HIM. i like both versions but this one just to me sounds better cuz it sounds depressing and the singer you can feel he has some sort of sorrow in his voice

[Auskaa]

that is clearly not Herrä Ville Hermanni Valo.

itsn ot bad but not HIM.

[mccall144]

anyone know where i can get a TAB for this version?

[Blacklady0982]

I like Him, but I think the original Song is better!

[Wazzupboy08]

Best version of this song ever.

[chrypko]

nah... theres no cowbell

[pinhead13]

LOL..more cowbell!!

[com2loserztown]

i got a fever, and the only prescription is....MORE COWBELL!

[sailorleo]

yes take one finger snap every second, use as needed.

[opiummother]

ok guys, this is not ville valo, him did a cover of this and so did gus black. very similar vox. both very good but him has 666 in my heart

[EmilyH912]

I've been dying to find a copy of this since I saw Scream, and it only just now occurred to me to look up the video. I think this is as good as the BOC version, just different.

And VERY creepy in the context of Scream!

Thanks for giving me a quick way to listen to it when I want.

[MrCurt123]

The Reason i brought the Scream Soundtrack was just for this song.

But the whole CD is good, If you can get a copy you should do so.

[EmilyH912]

Huh. I kept looking for a copy of the soundtrack with this song on it, as well as Red Right Hand. I found the instrumental and one with all the rock tracks, and I didn't think either had either song. I will keep my eyes open for the one you're talking about. Thanks.

[Blink182link64]

I'm so confused. Does Gus Black have anything to do with HIM? Everywhere i look online it's saying this song is by HIM and it's even on an album of theirs. Yet every same source also says this is the Gus Black version. So is affiliated with HIM or part of the band? I'm lost.

[MegumiG]

The original song is by Blue Oyster Cult.

HIM did a cover of it.

This is Gus Black's cover of it.

[dean7879]

i have this song. its off the scream soundtrack

[topsyekrit]

Does anyone know whear i can learn to play this song or at least get acurate tabs???

[bub166]

all this song needs is some cowbell,lol

[yourmumlah]

i couldnt put it better myself.

[Hanataro13]

where can i download this song?

[carmillaville]

GUS BLACK-Love is a Stranger..his latest sound track is awesome love it..gus blacks (dont fear the reaper melts my heart)

[ThinkPink92]

Great version of this song! I first heard it when I was watching the movie, Scream. Gus does this song so beautifully.

[Glitteryiceyangel]

Woooooooooo I lurrrrrve it!......I lurrrrve how his voice sounds soo protective! xx

[carmillaville]

gus black im agusblack fan on my space i asked him (gus)its his song!!if u look on the internet u can find it on gus blacks sound tracks but yes i love villes version its on my channel(i madethe same mistake the first time!!

[tztxk]

Gus black recorded this song for the scream soundtrack

[animeisawesome1]

hm....i like blue oyster cult beter but this is good

[hollyps1]

Beautiful song! I love it so much!

And its not Ville 'cause i can tell by the way he holds his notes, and the obvious voice difference.

[dmustard11]

Beautiful version. Heard it first on Scream when Sidney's boyfriend sneaks into her bedroom through the window! I have it on my ipod.

[waterfowlhunter777]

I know that voice anywhere. It's definately Gus Black

[B2Z67]

this ant gus black its ville valo stoopid

[PrissK]

yes this is the HIM version with Ville Valo's voice but there is another with the same acoustic music but the voice of another man maybe Gus Black.

This version is the best!!*_____*

[B2Z67]

i luv dont fear the reaper and i love H-I-M, this takes the cake as the greatist song eva

[agent4477]

totally made the bedroom scene

[PellMJ]

True that - GUS - Scream Soundtrack track 4 - hell yes - love this version.

[Jamesmom79]

This is Gus. It was on the original Scream soundtrack.

[bonzodamonkey]

this cover is by GUS not H.I.M.... just so you all know.... i heard it on a Smallville episode way way back

[GigiValo]

hey not to be mean but, im tired of ppl thinking this is Ville. ppl its not Ville!!

if u think it is than u must be one hell of a dumb fan, how can u not tell Ville's voice Ville's is way deeper!!

[exowarrior]

great verson of this song but there is one vital thing missing...... wheres the god damn cowbell? hahaha kiddin, nah this is my favourite version of this i think.

[MissRantsAlot]

whats this song have to do with H.I.M.

Ville isnt singing, so is there a H.I.M. band member playing music in this or what??

[exowarrior]

this isnt the HIM version the HIM version has a woman and villw singing, great version it is.

[MissRantsAlot]

oh ok that makes mor sense!

i thought it did considering the Heartagram!

thanks ^_^

[exowarrior]

lol no problem. yeh its a sort of duet altho i would say the woman does most of the singing but its deffinately worth the listen:)

[MissRantsAlot]

sweet

i'll check it out!

^_^

[xXBlankkXx]

Absolutely Epic. I like this one more than the origional

[MissRantsAlot]

is Ville Valo singing this???

[IMHEREFORYOU86]

This is NOT Ville Valo.

[0Dark0Raven0]

this is so beautiful, i heard it in smallville lol

[atomicalarmclock]

What memories of '96 when Scream came out and I was 20, in college, partying, and having the best time. Jesus, I just felt so nostalgic.

[LINDALOVELACE2008]

i do i love the song and i love ville valos music too.

[LINDALOVELACE2008]

gus black i asked him myself..you can find his official myspace channel .you can also find it on one of his albums..i thought the same its gus black promice you!!check his music out its awesome..hes also on myspace channel you can find him there too.

[Jessyca85]

BELLISSIMAAA!!! finalmente l'ho trovata :)

[littlelady2qqo]

I love this song, I think it's beautiful!

I feel like crying when I hear it, because the music is so great!

[tGette]

AWESOME!

[hell9786]

this version basically MADE "scream", its beautiful

[agent4477]

yeah haha i remember every1 saying "where can i find that slow version of dont fear the reaper" when it came out

[darker18]

must say i laught alot reading the comments ^_^ yelling about HIM goth sucks etc etc and that this is Gus ok fine its GUS guys stop it already and if you got some problems with goths or "emo" look the title dont fear the reaper seems goth or "emo" to me doesnt it? and so do the lyrics so for the ones whining about " its not that sick shitty gothband " then move on go away cus this song will surely fit in that genre (not saying it does but it would)

[Janesko25]

This song is by Gus and you can find this same version on the first Scream soundtrack :)

[omen46]

gus black

[VAMPIRICROCKSTAR]

sounds like Ville to me.

[viwien6]

this is Gus Black 100%

[soulfirebeyonddeath]

No. That's not Ville. But a good cover

[ReeperTheSeeker]

wait . . . there is an acoustic HIM version! Why have i not found this before :P . . . wait . . . this is the Gus version isn't it? You could change the title to Gus, no harm no fowl.

[fernandas89]

i love this song

[katieandkacie1923]

thedarkersun.....i absolutely adore this picture....where did u get it from?

[katieandkacie1923]

as beautiful as it is...i am sorry to say this is not my precious Ville. but it is a beautiful cover!

[siki258]

nice cover,like it

[trauma71982]

This Is Not HIM Ville Couldnt Sing this good Its From The Scream 1 soundtrack Band NAmed GUS!! 4 Real!!

[VILLESBELOVED666]

scuse me but ville can sing this good...lol what r u thinkin??? even tho its not ville.he could sing this song prolly better than gus.........sorry.thATS WHAT I THINK

[thedarkersun]

all right... i know this isnt him, many people have told me. and i have found out for myself, it was a simple mistake, their voices do sound alike, if you have heard Ville sing acoustic in the past, he has this kind of voice, it was only a mistake and i am sorry, so just no more bickering ok?

[daydreamingaboutlife]

i love this song so much!!! better in acoustic!!!

[xcheerluverx]

Everyone, i'm really sorry for my comment. I was stressed and again, im sorry.

[agent4477]

dont worry about it

[XjimmyXdarknessX]

this aint ville.

[Smaradorn]

it's not HIM like the others said, but it's still a nice cover.....

[xcheerluverx]

lmfao you loser. Next time you put a video on youtube for everyone to watch, make sure not to make a fool of yourself and check who's actually in the video.

[agent4477]

dude dont be a dick

[djtektalus]

ʞɔɐɹʇ sıɥʇ ǝʞı1

[laimizzzzzz]

[gamerman2000]
