Children of Bodom - Cover Thread

[Necroraven]

Whoever calls this shitty (from any aspect) flies straight to my ignore list.

Hmm, the parts were you see them playing are better than in any other COB-video, the lightning is perfect, and it doesn't feel like just another "playing in a warehouse-video", even though they are playing in a warehouse, but the parts were the reaper is running, and where Alexi is tied to that torture-bench look stupid.

(Too bad the actor they hired for the Reaper got sick before the shoot... if that hadn't happened this could be a very classy music video.)

Maybe if he was shorter than Ewo, the robe looks too small for him

Of course much of Laiho's vocals didn't receive the highest amount of attention and didn't work out so brilliant. A lot has to do with the songwriting. Alexi was really good with the slow black metalish vocals they did back in the day, but the fast ones usually end up annoying, like Cry of the Nihilist or Hatecrew Deathroll...

There's nothing wrong with the vocals on the first four albums, but IMO the problem with the vocals since circa 2004 is, that they sound tiresome, like Alexi was bored or tired when he's singing. Basically the sound is same as in the old albums, but back then you could hear the anger, and now you can hear the boredom in his vocals. Maybe he's trying to protect his voice, as if the old style hurt his throat or something. Wouldn't be the first time an extreme metal-vocalists vocals-vords turn to shit.

lol this was about vocals, that's why I posted the vid. You can't just say "Alexi's vocals" cos he's done lots of different style vocals on COB, even one style live that hasn't been on albums.

even one style live that hasn't been on albums.

what are yoou referring to?

 

[<Arcane>]

Auf alle live Auftritte. Ist dir noch nich aufgefallen das er live komplett anders klingt als auf den Studio Aufnahmen? Bestes Beispiel sind die abgehakten oder teilweise verschluckten Töne

 

[snowy]

jau, wollt wiisen ob er das meinte oder irgend ne einmalige oder besondere sache. klar, live aint studio.

It was just more passionate in the past.

i bought it here in sweden

 

[P4T0U]

It looks like a cover album. Anyway, I still prefer the original and by far.

 

[Crzy_Aus]

^ Aha, it's one of them shitty Touhou metal cover people. The guy was probably too excited about the idea of a famous metal song mashup with Touhou soundtrack (http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Iron_Attack/3540256333 - a pretty good shredder), and didn't notice the two didn't fit together .

^that's supposed to be the other original song for the remix you posted...

 

[(__Joonas__)]

Wait how can they just steal other artist's songs, name them different and make this retarded version? Sue them.

 

[Crzy_Aus]

Because they're basically covers/remixes for ZUN's songs, and only occasionally use certain well-known riffs as "homage". And considering most of these albums never see the light of the day outside doujin circles in Japan, I don't think anyone really gives a shit. And who knows, maybe they did get the rights to publish a cover.

The one P4TOU posted is more like SNBN with one riff from ZUN though, go figure.
