I know there 80 verses written in the original tune. Here's the ones we used: Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing "Hallelujah" Your faith was strong, but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Baby, I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Was about to say only that Axel Rudi Pell has also done a metal version of this song and it's fantastic, which, is true, but I went and listened to it first before hitting post, and to temper expectations, it's far more "ballad with rock stylings" than an actual metal version. That said, if you haven't heard it, I reiterate, it is still definitely phenomenal, and ya'll should check that one out too. k byee.
This somehow completely kicked me square in the holiday spirit. I wasn't sure what to expect, but you guys rocked this one out of the park! Let the festivities begin!!! Good will to all!!!
I love this song so much! Thank you so much for this awesome performance! 😍🔥 Many years ago I was at a Leonard Cohen concert. After he sang this song, there was a standing ovation for minutes and almost everyone had tears in their eyes. It was such a goosebump moment. By the way: If you haven't heard Rob at MENTALIST yet, you should definitely check it out! 🤘 I wish you all a Merry Christmas! 🎄✨
I wasn't sure if I liked the beginning, it seems kind of hard to really mess with a classic ballad like this and make a convincing metal version. But then Rob just would not stop going off. Dude is crazy! So anyway I'm sold on it haha
@@331Erock That hold the line track is a daily must!!! So clean, crisp on the vocals, @RobLundgren and the metal axe work is phenomenal both of you shine right on through. No wonder you couldn't help yourself from singing along lol.
WOW what a great surprise guys! I love the collaboration between you two! The metal version sounds awesome! Thank you both very much! My day was really absolutely fucked up and this song makes me happy and helps me, find peace! Tons of Love from Germany! 🙏❤️🎸🎶❤️
This was fantastic! Didn't actually believe much in a good metal cover of this song but you definitely did it justice! I have to imagine if you did this with Jonathan Young it would have been much the same just like one or two octaves down
Ok, that was was just over the top excellent! Gentlemen, well done. The vocals are outstanding and the solo was spot on. For me, all others versions pale in comparision. Wow!
So I don't know if it's your thing or if you can find vocalists for it, but I feel obliged to ask. I love and respect your work too damn much and can't help but think of what the end product would look like. How do you feel about trying to tackle a song or 3 from rent? "One Song, Glory" Seems right up your alley. "Out Tonight" is also one I think you could have a LOT of fun with. The song that is my personal favorite though, and the one I think would be the most challenging in basically every aspect is the duet "Another Day". While the songs themselves are fairly tight in a lot of ways, there is near-infinite room for improvisation because of how the music is laid out. Just about all of the melodies repeat themselves endlessly, letting you input whatever you want between each permutation, pausing the lyrics and picking back up without any real difficulty at all. This would let you transition into and out of your awesome guitar solos without it ever feeling forced.
Peazo voz tiene el rubio! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Feliz Navidad y un nuevo año lleno de salud y suerte para Erock, familia y todos los amigos! Saludos desde Jaén, España.
I'll never forget when I realized your guitars had 7 strings - got me back into playing as it opened a whole new world of possibilities! The constant re-tuning and transposing on 6 string for rock had been too much lol.
Leonard Cohen became my Godmother's favorite living artist on December 8th, 1980. My Grandmother's favorite song was the KD Lang cover of this song. Two of my favorite UA-camrs with a stellar cover, and the top suggestion is the same two covering "Hallowe'ed be thy Name". Good times. Thank you both!
It goes like this, the fourth the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift... Brilliant songwriting even if it's literally just telling us what's going on with the music. Well done, guys.
this has to be one of the most amazing versions of this tune i have ever heard.....for this soundwave adventure i cannot say thank you enough.....o7 salute man and well done ....absolutely beautiful my buddy sent me here and ....i am soo glad he did
Killer Job Guys!! I'm not religious at-all, but, I've always Really Enjoyed this song! I grew up catholic and even went to a catholic school for a short stint.. Never remembered this one.. The 1st time I heard it was on one of the tv episodes of "House"... Like everyone else here - we find a song we dig, and always hope that there's a metal version of it.. Well.. THIS!! THIS ONE is Finally going to be my Official Go-To!! Outstanding!! **Cranking this at work right now!!** haha Thanks for doing this one, sharing, and keep up the amazing job! 🤘😎 Sam - PS: Happy Holidays Everyone!!
Also, I believe Rob hits a F5 in this song which is wild \m/
Rob is phenomenal
@@FiniCkyGuitar 100x
yea I hit a couple of those F(reaking)5s haha, but dude... dat solo!
gave me shades of Roger Taylor from queen with the way he was hitting those highs! Outstanding performance!
sent it straight to Suplex City
I know there 80 verses written in the original tune. Here's the ones we used:
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
80 VERSES??? these 5 i know are the most used, but damn!
These "5" are not verses, they're stanzas
video request, this is an older one but so beautiful and nostalgic, could we get a cover for Monody by TheFatRat?
I like how when your videos are playing, the suggested videos on the right also feature Randy Rhodes.
Не знаю английского попрошу перевести друзей
Another proof that Metal makes everything better.
💯 💯
Eric great guitar and Rob “the voice”. Wish you a merry Christmas
\m/ the voice indeed! Happy holidays to you too!

A Festivus for the the rest of us!
Nothing like a song about sex by a Jewish man making Biblical references to put one in the holiday spirit? 🤣
So _very_ well done! Thank you and thanks to Rob Lundgren.
🙏🏻🥹🙏🏻
You were one of the reasons I started playing the guitar. Thank you so much for what you do!
Same here. Too bad I had to sell it,
I was able to play Don't Stop Me Now on it :(
I'm so honored to have made even just a tiny imprint in your musical journey Austin. Thank you so much for the comment!
Great work guyssssssssss
🙏🏻☺️🙏🏻
I love this song so much! Thank you so much for this awesome performance! 😍🔥

I wish you all a Merry Christmas! 🎄✨
So jealous you got to see the man himself! And yes, PLEASE check out Mentalist everyone 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Woo! That was an amazing rendition! Hallelujah! You and Rob are amazing as always. 🤟😎👍

I love how this started off as the slow rock ballad we all know, and then as the verses go on it gets to power metal. Simply amazing.
Such a greatness 🤩
