I think I've found a better cover for Sounds of Silence than Nevermore's

[Dead Winter]

I didn't think it would be possible.

I'm diggin' it. Go Burt C. Bell.

Sorry - that was awful....no way it can compare to NM's blistering cover.

 

[Dead Winter]

I think I like it as it's closer to the original. Nevermore's kicks ass btw.

 

[Brooks]

yawn..

 

[Shpongled]

I'm with Brooks, this is completely boring.

 

[Dead Winter]

Meh, I like it. I kinda like the droning...

This album is great, though.

Yeah, it's good, I like it. The NM cover version is way better though. WD really went for it (the man has a talent for covers), but this is a little boring.

 

[Dead Winter]

I think Warrel does such a great job because the song becomes a Nevermore song, not a cover. I almost don't even consider Nevermore's version a cover of it.

 

[slashvanyoung]

No matter if it's been Sanctuary, Nevermore or Warrel solo - their covers are among the few out there that actually matter and aren't redundant. And yes, the word "cover" really falls short here. I think "reinterpretation" is much more fitting...

Many wouldn't even recognise Nevermore's "SOS" as what it is and so does "Patterns" easily blend in with the original material on Warrel's solo album. That's how you do it, take a song and make it your own.

 

[El Stormo]

Not bad, I kinda like the droning too, but a little boring at times. NM's version is superior in my not-so-humble opinion.

 

[Supravital Knight]

Insert a '83/'84 King Diamond, and you might have something there.

 

[DarkNoise]

I'm in agreement that the Ascension of the Watchers album pwns

 

[derek]

That was my next question: How is the album anyways?

 

[El Stormo]

Sounds pretty good for me.

 

[Dead Winter]

It's great. Really melodic and atmospheric.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I like this version, too. The NM one isn't really a cover as they only use the lyrics. The song itself (as I don't need to tell you) isn't close to the original.

 

[Dead Winter]

That's my line of thinking.

 

[DarkNoise]

god i love that album

 

[Dead Winter]

Proof that this album is so awesome: two people have posted the same song in the same thread.

I'd rather hear a shit shingle spin in my cd player than listen to that again.
