The point is you're mostly acting like an arrogant asshole and using shredding perfection as a weapon against people at all opportunities. Not everybody can ever play COB perfectly, but they can play it on a satisfactory level, and will certainly want to show their friends if they can do it at least half-right. Just chill out sometimes and respect people. You think you're the toughest gun on the internet? Learn to be humble.

I usually don't care about what you write because most of your posts are bullshit or full of wrong specualtions so plz spare me your god damn moral answers. I don't see the point why thousands of wannabe-guitarists upload COB (or any other band) covers when they can't play it. They upload videos because they want criticism and this is what they get and it has nothing to do with arrogance when I say something is sloppy played. And this solo IS sloppy. I would say the same even when I can't play any instrument. But then everybody would say learn playing guitar and do it better.
Respect people? Do I disrespect them because I say it's sloppy?!? Bullshit! And your .."reflect everything on the hours the person has spent playing" comment is a joke, or? Because this is exactly what I mean. If they would sepnt MORE hours on practising, they would be better. If you assume this guy plays like.. let's say 3 years... does this protect him from every comment which content isn't positive?!? This is ridiculous. If I would upload a cover like this everybody would say to me that this is sloppy. But I think there is a big diffenrece between my rating criteria and yours. For me a cover is perfect when there is no mistake in playing and the tone is good. When something contains mistakes - even if a full-song cover contains just a few wrong notes - then it's not perfect anymore. It's just good. If somebody's doing a solo cover where he has to learn just a few seconds of a song and then plays this solo with a lot of wrong notes, the it's not perfect and not good. It's sloppy.
This IYF cover is by far one of the best covers I've ever seen but it's also not perfect but really really good.

Watched the IYF cover again. I can't play this song so I don't know about the notes but from what I hear I would call this a perfect cover.

THIS!
except if its for tips to get better. Though I dont think that cover was that bad
Here is my take on the "Punch Me I Bleed" guitar, hope you enjoy!

Sexy guitar tone, make a full song cover! It would be perfect, without the couple mistakes (0:07 - make a braver bend, 0:11 - connect faster, 0:31 one note missing... otherwise perfect.) I'm desperately waiting for an enjoyable cover for that song. It's one of my favourites, like atmospheric doom metal Bodom style, but it didn't come out as well as it could in studio.

up goes the monkey...
^I approve of that, nice groove and feeling. There's a difference in doing it and doing it well

If I would play it in the background while doing some other things I would say it's Bodom live. At least the first 3 minutes

Have you ever seen this guy? He posted here before a few years ago and I think he's doing the best COB vocal covers
Edit: mysterious... he posted a cover of COD a few years ago which I really enjoyed and also did some vocal lessons but they aren't anymore on his Youtube channel

He's very good. He makes some sick Black Dahlia Murder covers as well.. I find his articulation really good.
What's interesting is he's maybe the best COB vocal coverist I've seen, and still not doing anywhere near as stylish as Laiho with this album (FTR), yet most of people think COB vocals suck, but I've yet to see anyone do better this kind of vocals, except Chuck Schuldiner. It should be realized COB's vocals were magnificent back in the day, but started getting bad around 2003. He's good but he's not quite as good and seems to put in extreme effort (could he do it while playing the guitar also?), and there's this Lamb of God'ish "horn-headed giant pig" sound in half of his vocals which doesn't belong in COB.

Also Awesome, but lil bit low quality.

I love that the Keyboard is more in the front of the Sound
The play on other Tuning i think its Standard E
