Children of Bodom - Cover Thread

[Necroraven]

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.

This is the best COB vocal-coverist I've heard.

It's pretty nice, but nobody is as good as Alexi was...

I think he just posted a 5-10 times or so but then he quit

Sounds like crap and looks gay. Is that the guy, who (at least few years ago) had a million half-assed COB-covers on his channel or something?

I dont think so, i think he is a good guitar player with much skills

He's a good player and funny guy but he sounds like a garage thrash player and improvises too much especially with unnecessary squeals. I like guitar sound to have some character, this is as neutral as it gets. Maybe it's bad camera but all I can hear is plastic hitting steel strings and that takes away the pleasure of listening. Only thing I enjoy about this cover for example is 1:58-1:59, sweet little impro. There's action and that's both a plus and minus.

Michael Angelo Batio too is a good guitar player with much skills, but would you listen to his shitty music?

You mean the fail sweep? I dont wanna be a dick but if you have to modify the song and add some improvised part,which could bo good imo,do it in a proper way and dont just throw in things senseless and often bad-played.

My question is where is this backing track from? I'd like this cool music without these sugamommas singing over it.

 

[<Arcane>]

It's a self-made BT. But to be honest... this voice doesn't fit any better than Kimberlys. Sounds too much like Nightwish. Don't like it.

^Yeah, I just wanted the backing track, those vocals are lame. This chick should be milking cows, not singing metal.

 

[Norbix]

Not a fan of that Indian guy with the red SG... his tone is shite, has an awkward vibe for a metal player, and his playing sucks so he masks it with so many unnecessary palm muted notes. And that chick's face was freaking me out in the sinergy cover for some reason.

 

[predator2353]

Her voice doesn't fit the song, but that's just my opinion. The backing track however is done really good. I hope they will put a separate link for the instrumental part only!

+1

These random chicks don't deserve to sing over Laiho music and say it's their track.

 

[Necroraven]

She looks like a roadkill hobo who hasn't slept in a month.

I've just uploaded this cover. Hope you Enjoy..

Sounds good but you should learn those faster parts a bit more
