Children of Bodom - Cover Thread

[ESA1996]

I gave Hatebreeder a try. It's full of mistakes, I know, but I just had such a great time learning it and I wanted to make it a video ^^

And I though we might be roughly on the same level

Nice cover. I was expecting something truly sub-par due to your "sales pitch", but it wasn't bad at all. Certainly better than what I could do (I'd have to skip the solos entirely I think).

Thanks !

Yeah, so I tried playing Hatebreeder. Don't have time nor the patience to practice the entire song but up until the first chorus, apart from the triplet sweeps right before the second verse, I can play it at full speed with relative ease. The triplet sweeps I have to slow the song down from 225 BPM to 180 BPM to get them right. I also tried a few of the faster runs in the solo and they're too fast in full speed. 180 BPM would probably work for them too.

This. Is. Fantastic.

I absolutely love this type of videos.

 

[ESA1996]

Awesome. Reminds me of this one that I found some months ago (Nothing to do with Bodom, not even metal, but still I found it cool):

 

[CharIie]

This too is fantastic

Not your usual Bodom cover But awesome nonetheless!

I’m not usually a fan of these Minor to Major covers, but this is seriously well done, awesome

This major/minor happy/sad theory would be more clear to inspect without changing also the vibe and mood of the song.

Changing the key a song goes in is bound to change the vibe and mood. That's precisely the reason metal bands use minor, harmonic minor, locrian and diminished scales. It's quite impossible to make anything sound anything but happy when using major scales.

Sounds far darker than the original IMO. I quite like it. Looking at his channel he has loads of other COB songs programmed in a similar way.

This is probably the first drum cover I've ever seen on the forum! (Considering I've been here for seven years and one day, that's quite something).

Good cover as a whole. A few things here and there that were a bit off (Some of the fills, nothing more serious than that), but that's normal. If possible, it'd be nice to get the bass drum slightly higher in the mix.

Welcome to the forum

It looks light-touch and fluent. Where you recording?

What is it that makes some chicks possessed to spend time practicing songs? Maybe they really want to appeal to some metal dude.

Or she just, you know, likes the music, same reason you’re learning bass. Unless you’re instead expecting bounties of women to flock to you because of some sweet bass lines

Awesome, except he doesn't know the second solo, such a shame.

 

[(__Joonas__)]

This song has these powerful little nyances in many places and it's frustrating when most don't get them in the right vibe. This is a pretty medium. This song has always allowed creative expression for the moods in riffs and melodies in the verse, bridge and chorus. Still waiting for the ultimate cover where someone gets them all right in their epicness.

Its been a long time, where is Arcane btw?

Reminds me how much fun this song is to play. That nail ink tho.
