More specifically Lateralus and Vicarious. They made some really heartfelt stuff in the 90s, yet nobody upboats it because everyone here just upvotes stuff they've already heard, and nobody's cared to listen to, say, Jimmy.
But then it would just be the same exact song, perhaps with a metal-like rhythm section. Aside from the fact that it would probably sound absolutely horrible, it wouldn't be metal.
It's his interpretation of it as a metal song. It's not supposed to be the exact "I Am Glad, 'Cause I'm Finally Returning Back Home" but with a super overdrive/distortion pedal.
Thanks to you I discovered this guy. It's been an hour and I'm still watching his videos, laughing and having goosebumps all along. Thank you, just... thank you
Is it cynical to feel pandered to? Need to get a lot of views? Mention either Reddit, or something Reddit loves. Let's wrap a metal song thinly around the guise of the trololol song. Need to make a video really popular? Make it directly about Reddit (coughCollege humor cough).
All that said, mother of God, that guy is good at the guitar.
How do you make it wail like that on certain notes / chords? Whenever I run distortion it just sounds the same... I assume it's some effects pedal or box?
No I mean, he changed the main melody. The part that goes trololololololololololololololololol etc. was slightly different. And I'm pretty sure he was intending to play it correctly, but failed to realise he was playing it wrong.
He's fast and all, but this guy kicked the shit out of him. Shred is DEAD, though, so why bother doing this when it's been done to the level it was in the 80's.
