I am in a black metal band in Pittsburgh and I came up with the bright idea of doing a cover of this song. I just wanted to get some opinions on if anyone thought it was a good idea or not. Either way I plan on doing it, and once I get it recorded I would love to post it on the net for everyone to listen to. Hey even black metal bands need to do something fun every once and a while ^^

Being in a metal band is never a good idea.

It might be too geek. Be angry/rebellious instead.

Bunnies!! They give me a break from killing people!
I'll bash your head in!!!
As I play for my bunnies on my Violin!

Flowers! They remind me of throwing people off of a tower!!
I'll kill you with my lawnmower!
As I pick my Flowers!

Why I'm not an International Music Sensation is beyond me. I don't even listen to metal. And look at the amazing messages that I'm conveying.

Lets make a Death Metal Halo 2 Song. I had a Halo 2 song once, but a mod deleted it. Here is my 2nd attempt.

I fall from above
The grace you love
I am that which is swift
Your face meets my glove
My dual is your gift

I target your head
You WILL be shot dead
But we all know it blows
Especially my lead
Buried behind your nose

Ok, I'm done.

Don't forget that I am screaming this at a level that is incoherent, so it doesn't really matter if the lyrics make sense.

No. Shouldn't your songs be angry and angst-filled?

It's not too terribly original either -- there are many High School bands that are also guilty of this travesty.

Well this isnt a high school band ><. I will be going to college for musical preformance (on piano/keyboard) and minoring in music theory in only a few short months now. But we could easily turn that into a metal song, trust me it could work ^^

edit- btw, death metal and black metal are pretty different. A lot of death metal (from what I've heard) is very noisy and its hard to hear much of anything. I dont listen to much metal personally, just classical, but I play keyboards in the band so I bring a orchestrated aspect to the music. All the people in my band have been formally trained and we take our music very seriously. Also our singer acually sings, apart from most metal bands screaming all the time. Most of us are over the age of 21 (with the exception of me) and we compose our music thourougly and use a lot of structure.

Hmm... that would really be that black metal like, being how black metal was originally established to go agaisnt Church. Though I guess you could try in the style of black metal.

if any of you guys watched xplay, youd know one already exists. Some guy put it out on the internet a little while ago. Its like a techno beat that constantly repeats the famous saying.
so i wouldnt try it if i were you, someone might sue.

  • 09.30.2004 3:00 PM PDT

lellowranger, might the song your talking about be the one I have the link to? A cover is doing over a song that has already been done, its perfectly legal.
