Children of Bodom - Cover Thread

[children of COB]

^Nice one! Although for my taste you had waaaay too much distortion and it sounded quite noisy. But the palying was good

First again! Although it's still last week's ROTW

Mask Of Sanity

And no, I didn't play the dual solo That part is fucking sick, I can't do it without either changing it completely or missing more than 50% of the notes. I did the other part but expand it a bit cos as Tim set it was too short

Yeah great cover...

Which tab did you use?...
Or just tell me how do you play the intro[i need the album version]...thanks

 

[Mystique1721]

You play galloping patterns well on one string (verse) but here it's the same pattern but it isn't as tight. That's why I said you should still work on sliding on that pattern. I had to find something you could improve.

ohhh you mean these slides. hmm...I guess I'll have to listen more carefully to them. thanks for deliberately trying to find something tho I appreciate it, lol.

Hey guys I covered Hate Me! last night

Reviews/comments please? Thanks :3

I'd have to agree with Jose about the too much distortion thing. Nice harmonics tho!

glad to see you're back to the "first!" thing
good recording, the toneport really does suite you well I liked the rhythm tone. As for criticisms, I think the last bend could use some work.

Thanks for the tab

Anyway yeah the tone is really good...it's like the original...
In the solo i think i heard one or two mistake(one after the banding)...but hey still a great cover as usually

 

[<Arcane>]

No problem dude. I've played one wrong note in the solo and fucked up the bendings a bit cause my fingers were wound of playing

 

[Mystique1721]

wow Arcane, that is really great tone. sounds extremely similar to the original.

 

[reaperscythe]

Nice job and nice tone Arcane!

 

[Flappy]

Brilliant Arcane! Seriously, awesome tone!

 

[orb]

Damn Arcana that is a really sick cover!

Seemingly unlike everyone else, I'm not a big fan of the tone -_- but the playing is VERY clean, fantastic job

One thing that would probably improve your lead sound a ton is vibrato on the bends. Other than that, good job with the solo

Thanks And yeah, bending is something I have to work on A LOT I'm still getting used to PG style with the wrist thing, but it's really uncontroled

Wow man that was quite good! The MP3 really sounds almost exactly as the album tone wise and most of it playing wise too! The solo may need a bit of work for the timing and maybe the last bend but still it was well played and you have the notes right, I supose that just a bit more of practice and you'd nail it. Good job

Recording of the Week - Children of Decadence (Intro - Bars 1 - 16)

*Advanced* Children of Decadence (Interlude - Bars 65 - 75)

*Advanced* Children of Decadence (Solo - Bars 134 - 149)

 

[children of COB]

Hmm, that's hard me thinks, I'm going to have to work on it

 

[<Arcane>]

^^
Yeah, the tone is pretty good but I'm not really satisfied with the mixing.. :/
I can play the solo pretty much perfect but it's hard to record a complete song without any mistakes and I think I've played lik 4 hours before I've recorded the song. I was surprised that my fingers do bendings without starting to bleed Maybe you know what I mean. After hours of playing you can't bend anymore...

 

[children of COB]

That's something I was wondering, why didn't you do the solos separate like you usually do?

 

[<Arcane>]

That's a good question Well, I usually do a 3rd or 4 guitars in one vid when they are different but in Blooddrunk the two rythm guitars play the same under the solo so that's why I didn't need a 3rd guitar... and I thought I can play it without any mistakes...

 

[children of COB]

Well, I think that it gives the solo more power to have both rythms even if they play the same, and it allows you to play the solo as many times as you want to get it perfect. I mean, your solo wasn't bad and e.g. playing live it'd be more than ok, but since you're recording it at home and then uploading I think it'd be better and show your playing better to do it separately, because live is one thing, but when recording if you can do it better (not like doing it better after 2 months of practice but do it better doing another take) IMO it's better to go for it so you really show how you can play and not less. But still, that's up to you and I also understand that you wanted to play just the two guitars like if it were Alexi and Roope playing the song together in one take.



@Tim: Which tab are we suposed to use? On the Tab Thread there's no COD tab

EDIT: Fuck! I'm trying the intro and the ''fast run'' in the middle is driving me nuts. I have everything else in time and cool, but that part is totally pwning me If anyone wants the tab I'm using (I think it sounds pretty accurate), this is the one: Click!

Click!

Sorry, I forgot to say, I used the "Children of Decadence Version 2" from UG! The version you're using is pretty identical, so either one is fine! You've got the bar numbers anyway
