Soulja Boy gone Death Metal!

[JeffTD]

I know, I know... Travis Barker did his rock remix, and those screamo kids did theirs, but as far as I know, nobody's done anything like this yet. Started and finished today, mix might need some adjustments here and there, etc. First recording of mine with a real bass, too.

Guitars - 81 -> PODxt
Bass - Rockbass -> DI/PODxt
Drums - DFHS w/Sneap kick and some "AES" snare
Vocals - SM57 -> Saffire Pro

Can't stand to listen to that song, no matter what genre it is.....

But, I love the guitar tone man!

 

[KeithRT99]

it works kind of well, but that song is fucking retarded.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Who is Soulja Boy, some rapper? Is he famous? I'm so out of touch with that genre.

 

[Metaltastic]

Haha, hearing "I'm jockin' on yo bitch ass" in those vocals is good for a chuckle - but seriously, stuff like this really makes me ashamed of our pop culture - at least teenie bopper pop music enunciated their syllables, but this whole embracing of the sensationalized urban gangsta lifestyle in our pop culture is just so despicable. And, he truly sounds retarded, like he has a speech impediment, especially in the beginning when he's like "eyo I gotta brand new etc. etc." Anyway, I digress - good job dude.

I set it to the video... I can't get over how shit this song is!

So.....

I went and finally gave enough of a fuck to listen to the original....
Why on earth would someone want to metal out a song like this?
It's like that James Blunt song "beautiful" it's just so bad, only this is worse, alot worse...

 

[JeffTD]

I did it BECAUSE it's so bad! It's the most ridiculous piece of shit... I wanted to just butcher the original.

I'm thinking about doing this with that Flo-Rida/T-Pain song Low, now, too.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Oh man I heard the Travis Barker mix. I can't believe I have been fortunate enough to go this long without hearing this song.

I rule so hard.

 

[CJWall]

should have done the chorus slower bro. that would have been sick. =)

rap songs translate very easily to metal, for covering purposes.

 

[Metaltastic]

So it's been a couple of days - and I find myself pretty regularly listening to this. Goddammit Jeff...

Hahaha me too it's so addictive it's annoying.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Ohh man dude.

This is the shit is the reason I got into recording. It's all about making covers of popular songs metal. Sorta like a antichrist version of Pat Boone. I did a Le Freak cover with my brother one time Death Metal style that I wish I still had. Anyway /rant

Props.
Hhahaha.

 

[ScottCash]

Fucking awesome. I have a 15 y/o daughter who plays that shit song everytime she can. It has gotten to the point where my wife and kids know I hate it play it just to annoy the shit out of me. Now, I have a rebute. I think the worst thinkg about the original song is that it sounds like it is peaking the meters the whole song, and yes the "singer (I use that term loosely) sounds like a retarded 4 year old, from the ghetto, with a lisp and missing teeth. THANKS BRO!!!!!!!! Now can you do "When a man loves a woman" ???

[Manicompression]
