MegaDave to call it a day

MegaDave covering Ride the Lightning. Really sums him up.

[Eoin McLove]

He probably thinks it makes him look gracious, like he has matured out of his long-held bitterness and finally moved on. Unfortunately it really just makes him look like a bitter eejit who can't let go of the past and accept his own achievements.

[Pentagrimes]

"Ride the Lightning" is one of my favourite songs ever, so I had to give it a go. Musically that version is fine, no better or worse than any other band covering it. It's the vocals. Yikes.

[Bürggermeister]

It's just pointless. It's a note-for-note cover, just with the flat, shit mix they've decided to pox the new album with. I thought the vocals were bad, for sure, but his voice sounded better than on the other new songs I've heard, possibly with assistance.

[Carnage]

Listening to the cover now, of course it's awful. Played well enough but the vocals are obviously dire and the mix is tinny and flat, as mentioned above. Are there a few bars cut here and there, or am I imagining it?

I dunno whether I can even be bothered with the rest of the album.

Where are yiz listening to it?

[Bürggermeister]

It was on that link ldj put up for a short while, it was taken down by the time the RTL cover finished

[Pagan Saviour]

I thought the saddest thing they've done was covering their own song with your one from Lacuna Coil but this goes to new depths.

[Eoin McLove]

I saw a clip of Dave from ten or twenty years ago playing the riff from RTL, and acting like he couldn't remember the name of the song. "Oh this is one I wrote that Metallica used. Whatever that song is called... who knows" It was so petty

Where are yiz listening to it?

It's on the torrent sites.

Why can't anyone critique anymore??>?

[Circlepit]

I heard his RTL earlier.
Pointless.

Listened to RtL today. Musically pointless, vocally painful. Good work Dave, that'll show 'em.
