I did this for fun, and to demonstrate what a 're-make' is all about (because I hate covers that add nothing new to the original song). I sang, played bass & guitars (except solo... I replaced mine with my friends one), programmed the drums, composed, produced, recorded & mixed, at home (using ProTools).

Hope it helps to brighten a rainy day :-D

For some obscure reason I burst out laughing the moment I heard this. You HAVE to send me a copy of this. =p

Awesome stuff bro. That you singing? You sound alot like Devin Townsend.

 

[mel80]

Sounds awesome. And yeah I agree with SherT. Can hear hints of Devin Townsend in your singing

 

[MisterK]

help me out (i'm old school)... who is Devan Townsend?

 

[elevenine]

omg ace job! great vocals too..and i'm liking the arrangement a lot. \w/

could you send me a copy of the song too?

 

[SherT]

This dude:

The voice of Strapping Young Lad, multi-instrumentalist, and the only guy to ever pull off the Skullet with style.

I used NI Battery 3, and tweaked the samples a bit (they were from the Battery NI Studio Drums collection). Mixed, EQ'd, etc in ProTools. I also have an embarrassing story to tell (related to the drum tracks). If you can 'spot it' and tell me what it might be about, then I'll share it with you, haha

 

[hadi]

hahah.is the drum track from some track...... hehehehe by the way, do you do home recording for bands? hehehe

 

[ShredCow]

Wow.

Now this is a cover.

Excellent excellent.. haven't heard such refreshing stuff on OM for the longest time! Thanks for the laughs and the ridiculous nod to Metallica.

 

[MisterK]

PM me hadi...

You're just guessing! OK... It's the cymbals... I somehow ended up with a mono-track of cymbals :???: So I had to go through the entire song hit by hit and automate the L-R panning (which was easier than re-doing the cymbal track). Ya I can record bands at home... Take that convo to PM please.

 

[MisterK]

Wow.
Thanks for the laughs and the ridiculous nod to Metallica.

YAY! ShredCow 'gets it'. Finally someone understands my sense of humor.

 

[hadi]
