I love metal, just by them recreating the music to a different style like this but the same lyrics is completely amazing! I hate songs that are all slow and not metal but this! This is amazing!!!
I like everything from ambient music and roots reggae to free jazz and grind core, and I play in psychedelic stoner sludge metal band. I'm metalhead since I was 10, but this band is incredible refreshment. They are great!
The fact that so many people really like this and say "This cover is awesome!" and so many people dislike saying "This cover sucks!" Just shows me that this is something really special here.
What's the problem with you metalheads? This is a great, totaly different interpretation of a great song. It shows how strong this song actually is, no matterhow you play it. At least, I think Hellsongs did a hell of a job! Saw them perform live yesterday and together with lots of metal fans we enjoyed it a lot!
I think it's like that they want to make people hear how Metal Lyrics can sound in a totally different settings. So they're really focusing on the lyrics.
WIE GEIL WIE GEIL! ich liebe euch :D ich dachte immer: cover sind IMMER schlechter, aber das sind ja nicht wirklich cover, ihr verwandelt die geilen stücke in etwas neues, was aber auf keinen fall schlechter ist! halt nur total anders. super, weiter!
in a way ur right metalers^^ seem, more than any other fan group of any kind of music, to have a problem beeing tolerant. but in fact they´re quite tolerant people but when it comes to their music they will every sense of humor, why it is like this i cant tell^^
@TrueNeutral187 Sad but true.. (it seems.) Luckily there are also exeptions :) I love metal over all, but I also listen to various other genres. These songs have been covered soo many times that it's great to hear something as fresh as this!
@GrimNFrostbittenJew The Cardigans (another Swedish pop group!) covered Black Sabbath's "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Iron Man" to absolutely amazing effect. I for one would like to see Emperor covering Abba.
alright the following comment is NOT a dislike joke to get more thumbs up: but 161 people are probably those stupid ''pure'' and ''true'' metalheads who like nothing else but Slayer, Maiden and Metallica's first 2 albums... this is great keep going!
actually, this brings a new level to this song. I cant say one is better than the other. Allthough I prefer this one atm. Sure u dislike it, but u cant really say its being butchered?
@darkania9 What the fuck? What you're basically saying, is that if I steal the whole candy shop it's truly okay, but if I steal just all the red ones, then I'm fucked?
I had a feeling you were in the USA. Cool, Italy! Apparently the food's great over there, but I haven't been there before. Also, I've just joined this metal band at school , and I'm eager to try something like 'For whom the Bell Tolls' or 'Master of puppets'. But as far as I know, the bassist and drummer hate metallica. ON a scale of low-high, how 'pretty shit' would you call that?
Haha, well I meant intolerant of other types of music. Not other cultures, races or natures. But it's good you mentioned jazz! Jazz fans are far more intolerant of other music than metalheads are. I've known a jazz fan who would put on jazz and look at them like a rabid animal if they said it wasn't their style.
I'll apologise, not all metal is satanic, but I know that some of maiden's work isn't really, erm, 'God-fearing'(?) But anyway, things like 'The Number Of The Beast' are what I'm referring to. I know perfectly well that a huge (huge) amount of metal is non-satanic (Master of Puppets [teh pwnage of metal songs] is about drug abuse), but satanic metal is what I'm referring to. I agree, being a fan must be hard if you slander them. Oh, and FYI, I come from Scotland land. Where do you come from?
I have a question, are all of their songs really covers? Or is each a completely different song, you know the guitar, drums, everything is completely unrelated to what the actual songs are, but, they just got lyrics from various famous songs and "claimed" it they we're covers? Did they just slap on the lyrics and the title of the original for profit? MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN LYRICS ALREADY!
@TheSecondR well they arent covers in the strictest sense of the word are they? i would be more inclined to agree with your point if they were just covers, but clearly they arent, Apocalyptica just rip off metal songs, but with an orchestra, but they arent treated with the same vitriol, whats the difference?
@TrueNeutral187 you don't know the german hip hop scene right? compared to them all those metalheads are open-minded music lovers :\ They're kinda intolerant, but they're not the worst xD I like this version too btw^^
@frigidpony i am metalhead and i enjoy this. why the hate and all this "tr00" talk? it's interesting and fun. but, while you shittin'on us, metalbabies [wow, i'm 32 this year!], try to remember, that in music context and idea comes not only from lyrics, but from sound and musical expression as well. and, believe me - we, metalbabies, as you generously called us, don't give a shit about you. kissez xxx
Hellsongs is a plesant experience, but in this song she sounds like a crasy girl who likes to kill for pleasure. Like the female character in "Natural Born Killer". Well, some humor in this happy singing "searching, seek, and destroy" :) Childish lyrics written by Metallica in their early, not so mature, years. Hellsongs interpretation of "Paranoid" and "Run to the Hills" are much more rewarding, giving depth and weight to the lyrics.
why do you people get so worked up? haha. if you cant appreciate interpretation at its most original you should rethink the music you listen to. i remember before our jazz concerts we were taking all the metallica riffs and swinging them, so awesome.
gosh this is gross !! the essence of seek and destroy is lost ! but i have to admit, can die on those vocals. the cutest i ever heard.. it is only the lyrical content which is remade, so no issues..
I haven't listened the original of Seek and Destroy, but I know what the Metallica sound is like. I think this is actually really funny and well done. But I do see how this version would enrage a hardcore Metallica fan. I'm not always a big fan of covers, i.e. Paul Gilbert's take on 'The Lamb Lies down on Broadway' wasn't too great. Also, as Hellsongs comes from Gothenberg (Black metal central), it must be funny to look at the faces of people coming to their gigs expecting 'Hell-songs'... xD
@TrueNeutral187 they're too busy fighting over what's "really metal" to make heavy metal become a mainstream genre... is it a shame? or does it keep metal from becoming comercial and trendy?
sounds hippie xD ... well ... this one is more calm .. metal for the non-metal heads :l ... it isn't much of the seek and destroy ... the music doesnt fit the words like "destroy" and "kill" ... but for the hippie kind of music .. this aint really bad =P ... its nice to see how ppl can get creative with covering some songs ... but so far .. with all the covers of seek and destroy ... metallica's original is the best \m/
I love metal. and I think good covers record obviously you do not do metal but you are more original bands grabbing covers and want to sound like the original bands They copy up to the gestures Continue forward. Wherefrom they are? perdon por los errores jaja
Well, I'd say I'm a metalhead, and considering Metallica I'm an orthodox fan, meaning that for me Metallica is just non-existent after And justice for all, I think the Black album is a bad joke made of pop songs, etc. But I find Hellsongs to be bloody brilliant, it's creative and fun :)
Wow, alot has happened since i last viewed these comments ^^ I just want to make some things clear. I am not a "spawn of satan", nor am I a "sack of shit". I just like their music, and if you got a problem with that, you should open your mind a bit and realise that other people can like different music than yourself. It's just naturall, so stop complaining and go do something good instead ^^
@TheSecondR do you take the same approach to art and paintings? the impressionists? PAH, WHY DONT THEY JUST TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH LOLZ. Artistic impression comes in all shapes and forms and it takes a dick load more balls and talent to have a crack at taking a very different take on a very popular song from a completely different genre than it does to simply replicate it, any high school talent show band can cover a song, it takes true talent to reinterpret it. 5 stars.
