Drummer fucking crushed it. Nailed down all the important fills without sacrificing the toned down feel of this rendition. Really brought it all together- they stayed faithful to the original yet still made it their own. Very solid homage right here!
What people need to realise about a cover. The point is not to try and sound EXACTLY like the original artist. It is to put your own interpretation of the song out in tribute to the original artist.
Curtis Hunt i disagree! this is not a cover in order to be on an album, where it should be as you said above, this is just an acoustic show, so they just cover the song as a tribute or something and i really think they did a great job here!
Curtis Hunt completely agree. Being a huge and I mean HUGE deftones fan, and also being a seether fan, I was blown away by this cover. I think it might be my favorite cover of all time
I agree and disagree. Agree because you should always put your own spin and feel on the song, however(this is where I disagree), some people take the song so far away from the original that it is not even the same song anymore. With that said, I love this cover. I never heard it before. I listen to way more death and black metal. But this is amazing. And I love both seether and deftones
Ikr? Deftones is fucking amazing, but I also like Seether. And judging this objectively, I think its a pretty good cover. Obviously it doesnt have anything on the original but still
Disclaimer Morgan i've been listening to seether a lot longer than i've been listening to deftones, but c'mon man.. you might like shaun's voice better, but chino is definitely a more capable singer
i love shaun's voice man, but even in that song, he's not going for any big notes or anything (not that the song calls for it). whose voice you like more in terms of sound is purely subjective, i'm just saying that chino's range is incredible
Just to think a week ago I didn’t know these guys even existed now Shaun is on my list of favorite singers along with Layne Staley, Chris Cornell or Mark Lanegan
Truely amazing...Possibly the best acoustic cover I've ever heard hands down..The Bassist and the Drummer are pure Fire The talent here is insane...Way to go fellas
I hated this cover for like 10 mins, simply because this is one of my favorite songs. but I found myself listening to it more and more, and now it's one of my favorite covers.
Sage Monteaux Serious respect to you for listening to it even after you thought you didn't care for it. I know I'm the same way sometimes. Just takes a bit to realize the potential I guess.
I'm really impressed. Never heard them before. This is one of my favorite songs from one of my all time favorite bands. Gave me a chill on the first time through...for sure.
Deftones are my favorite.. And even though Seether aren't, I still love them. And this is just purely amazing. :) Maybe Chino and Shaun should do a collab ;)
Wow, I always knew Shaun was one talented man but this is transcendent. Usually a guy with a rugged voice covers songs by bands like Godsmack, Alice In Chains etc, covering anything Chino Moreno is a risky endeavor.
This used to be a song my band would cover every gig. I sang and played rhythm guitar too. God I miss those days. I smoked a lot of pot. Dad was still around. I used to drive an old beat up van. Man those were the days. Seether put there on spin on this song. I putting much sounded just like Def Tones with maybe a touch from Chad Gray from Hellyeah/Mudvayne.
Didn't know this song, went back hearing the original. Their cover is very special to me. I've listened to this 9 straight times or so. Shaun delivers so much emotion, melody is enthralling, the drums has power and finesse. "Blow me away" touches with the nuances!
"Change (In The House Of Flies)" I watched you change Into a fly I looked away You were on fire And I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now you feel so alive I've watched you change I took you home Set you on the glass I pulled off your wings Then I laughed And I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now you feel so alive I've watched you change It's like you never had wings I look at the cross Then I look away Give you the gun Blow me away And I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now you feel so alive I've watched you change Now you feel alive You feel alive You feel alive I've watched you change It's like you never had wings You've changed You've changed You've changed You've changed
The beautiful thing about this cover is that this sounds like a Seether song. Kept their original flavor without sacrificing commitment to and respect for the original material and artists.
these are my two favorite bands, saw them both play great shows here in NYC and the fact that seether covered deftones is blowing my mind away right now
Okay I was skeptical when I clicked on this because I love Deftones, but this is pretty damn good for a cover. Noone (at least that I've heard of or am aware of) would touch Deftones like this. Chino has such an amazing voice but I think Seether did as good as you can get for this.
Dude got some pipes .... his voice is a real rock instrument. I'm looking for this video of him playing live when I 1st heard that growl but came upon this.
It's not always easy to over a Deftones song. Chino's voice is very unique but I love Seether and their covers are amazing. He did an awesome job on this song.
This is the best cover of Change I've ever heard of. It's very raw from the acoustic set-up and it all tied together by the natural, sludgy but sweet voice of Seether's vocalist. It's almost like it is their own song.
Ahhhhhhhh.... the cover is excellent but the drummer just took the cake and ate it too, especially on that last minute of the song. He hits every single note the way it is on the original track. Much respect! 😈🤘🏽
Beautiful cover ! Reminds me of the old seether . I don't what happened to them , they were so promising back in the day but the last few albums don't have a lasting effect . Maybe that's just me but i miss old seether (esp around disclaimer 2 time)
Erika Thomas I listen to some seether songs and I'm amazed.. recently not so much considering he pretty much exactly copied a song that's 20 years old called mad world but ya wtf this is like flawless and it's live.. I don't get them sometimes lol
I cannot understand how 749 people can dislike this. What’s to dislike? Shaun is being his amazing self and the musicians are fab also! Never get tired of listening to them cover or original
I've always loved Deftones (mostly their acoustic stuff) and this is amazing. Hate I never saw it before. It's hard to match their vocals sometimes and wow he did amazing with putting his own personality on it!
I hate that. Negative comments are badass even the ones I disagree with. What's the point of life with no challenge? It becomes a stagnant echo chamber.
