Hilarious playing. I think Bodom could've used this 1:19 - 1:26 melody more distinct on the album version, it's a nice melody but you can't hear it really behind Alexi's scream (at least it's a good vocal section). Also they could've used the slower tempo drumming at the beginning of the little solo like they did live already in Tokyo Warhearts. I dig this song a lot these days and pray to have another album like the old ones again, with the band's current experience. But usually, personality precedes experience, and experience buries personality. In the middle of the cycle you have, I'd say, the peak moment when these are optimal, around 1999-2002.

Well, despite the fact that you both look like extremely ugly emo kids and that the backing track is too loud to hear you clearly enough, the left guitarist did a pretty good job from what I can hear. You -or your friend has got a few wrong notes here 'n there but I think you/he knows what to play. Good job! But next time try to have not the same volume as the BT.
 
Well how about this:

Guy has some great sounding covers and not many views.

All his Bodom covers sound pretty much precisely as the album, so basically nothing to check out here. Only Angels I think he does a little different riffs... just checked them quick. Too bad he only plays the rhythm to LDB.

The playing is good but here again - the original song in the background is waaaay too loud. No wonder why all of his songs sound good ^^

Yeah, it was pretty good. I too prefer covers that have a quiet or no backing track at all. What's the point in learning a song and then hiding behind the original backing track? From what I managed to hear, that guy doesn't need to hide anything.
 
Yeah. I think it's too loud, but you could tell if he was making mistakes. There's just no entertainment value. I'd rather have a different sound or some improvisation. But it's clear you wanna show your friends what you got and also record your top form.
