Thanks to some motivation via the Blind Guardian Imaginations Song Contest I finally got around to a new upload. Possibly my most hectic one yet, given they announced the contest twelve days ago, and today is (well, was) the deadline... It was tight but here's my second entry!
Anyone interested in my first entry can find it here: • Blind Guardian: The Vi...
Thankfully the instrumentation here is pretty simplistic: no orchestrations to worry about. Possibly a first for me...
Once again, André's guitar lines were a lot of fun to play, while Hansi's vocal work proved to be an absolute nightmare... but having done a few years of practise since the infamous Curse of Feanor (more like Curse of Failure) I felt like I was in with a shot. Conclusion: much better, but still not perfect. Hansi remains undefeated.
PS: I am well aware that the competition is all about being "creative" and that my cover style is generally the total opposite of that. Really, the competition was an excuse for me to put another recording out... but I'm entering all the same ;)
Amazing entry! 💣💣💣
The "very useful item which you bought to play the fastest guitar riffs" is clearly what makes your cover better than this. Lmao
Hi
@ARATA I love your cover... this Is very powerful but a bass with a your voice and the Church choir in "Aldo Giovanni e Giacomo" for All Is a Dream 😂😂
Megadeth meets Blind Guardian...
Seriously, awesome job and the tone is incredibly close to the original. Many people don't realize how much work is needed to do this at home.
Thanks man!
I was actually showed a technique just after posting, that would have allowed me to get even closer tonally (at least for the higher notes)... Maybe one for the next cover ;)
Good spot with Megadeth! Definitely one of the easier bands to cover with my vocal biology haha
100% beard increase since previous cover, 10/10 for effort.
Everyone knows each extra hair improves the performance
Idly went on UA-cam to see if anyone was mad enough to attempt covering BG solos and then found this video.
This is one of the two most incredible solo performances I've seen on UA-cam, ever. The other is a one-man full cover of Nirvana's Aneurysm, performed by James Gasson.
Incredible job on an incredibly difficult song, both instrumentally and vocally. Didn't think anyone could nail BG so well!
Thanks man! For sure BG is vocally a hell of a challenge. In contrast the guitar work is generally pretty easy, though of course still ultra-tasteful 😉
I last seen your And then there was silence cover, and that was good. This is even better. Everything has improved (especially the vocals). Stellar stuff.
Thank you! Indeed my clean vocals have been my weakest point for a very long time, and I really wanted to change that 💪
@@NeverusBand They don't sound weak here at all, if I could sing this well, I'd be a happy guy!
@@skippertheeyechild6621 thanks man! Took a lot of work haha
Fantastic job! Really, really good! 😉🤘🤘❤
Holy shit, the man himself! Thank you so much 🤘😀
I KNEW I should have used real drums.... 🤔
@@NeverusBand Haha! No problem, man! Good stuff anyway. 😊😉🤘
Thomen Drum Chamber am huge fan of you and your drumming skills. Hail you forever Mann! Love from India
@@AnchorAbnerDiasOfficial Thanks, bro! Stay healthy and you rock!
This is the only awesome Blind Guardioan (voice) cover in UA-cam. Other tried to sing something, but sounds like chickens. Thank you!
Thanks man! It was quite a challenge haha
Damn dude. You absolutely naild it.
Thanks man!
めっちゃ最高‼️
Love this cover!
Thanks man!
Would love to see a full cover of Ride into Obsession. Your BG covers are honestly the best out there.
Thanks man! Honestly I don't tend to take requests but that is a damn good song you've suggested...
ANOTHER HOLY FUCK!! this is AMAZING!
Hehe thanks man
Spectacular
💪
All-round stellar performance and production! The bards ought to be very impressed.
Thanks man! Was good fun
Absolutely excellent!
Thanks man!
One does not simply perform BG on vocals and guitars on such a high level. Congratulations, you're incredibly gifted!!
Thanks man!
Couldn't quite reach the "high level" of the original song though, I had to tune it down a semitone ;)
Very cool, man!
Thanks man!
Excellent!
Thanks man!
Wow and this sounds great, amazing progress on the vocals!!
Hey, thanks man! Took a fair bit of practise haha
@@NeverusBand Any tips for improving and practising? I don't think I've ever seen (or heard, I guess) such solid progress, seriously!
@@williammonk1020 just, err... Do lots of it haha. Get a teacher if you can. Not knowing the right techniques can cause all sorts of problems, the very least of which is "it might make you sound bad" 😅
love it
Hey Jack!! I know you from LEGO guns. I was absolutely astonished when i found out you are in a metal band!! That is so cool! I like metal music as well, and have been looking at your guy's music. Keep up the fantastic work!!
Hey, thanks man! There's more to come on that front actually, stay tuned ;)
@Jack Streat oh awesome!!!
Holy fuck man, Epic cover, respect from Brazil !!
Thanks man! And back to you from The Netherlands 💪

You never disappoint! Always on point.
Good point! 😉
GREAT VOICE!!!

Cheers dude!
Ohh man, you nailed it so bad, specially the vocals, you've done it so damn fucking well, I wish someday I can clean sing like that.
Thanks man! Honestly I wasn't sure I was gonna be able to do it when I started. Got there eventually though.
Best time to start practising is today 😉
Welcome back, brother! Missed seein ya since especially the Ensiferum covers! Roaming wolves are howling for the dead! Glad to see you back making videos.
Haha thanks man, yeah it's been a while. Lots of conflicting musical priorities! Feels good to breathe some life back into this channel though 🔥
Wow, great job!

Beautiful job man!
You're fantastic🤘💫
Thanks man!
dude nailed it
If they judge on originality I don't like your chances, but this will be the most skilled entrant and is an amazing cover. Thoroughly enjoying it well done!
Haha yeah agreed, it's basically the opposite of creativity... But I was doing it more for the technical challenge than the competition ;)
Instant sub
respect!
great!!!!!
Thanks man!
@@NeverusBand 😉 you welcome!
@@NeverusBand if you can please check my version of bright eyes
You entered too? Nice!
@@NeverusBand yes I tried but.. nothing to compare with other bands 😅
Really impressive how near you are to the orginal Version!!!! Awsome 🤘👌👍
Thanks man! As always, the transcription is the easy bit... the performance is where it gets interesting 😉
Amazing!!!! 😍 what a voice!!!!
Thank you!
Siiiiick cover, one of my favorite BG songs as well!
It's a strong song for sure 💪 thanks!
Perfect as usual.
Excellent comment as usual 👌
Dude your singing has improved a lot over from your first videos!

Thanks man! Timing was tight haha

Cheers dude! Always the plan 😉
Awesome
BG-relevant username? 😉
@@NeverusBand well yeah, very keen observation, noone noticed before :) big fan of BG since high school years (end of 90s), attended many concerts and I must say your covers are spot on! Very impressive work.
@@msoulforged thanks man! I'd have probably missed the link too if it wasn't in the context of a BG video haha
In times of Covid, accurate covers will have to replace concerts for now haha
very nice cover! i say that as a die hard BG fan, uve done a pretty great job mate!
Thanks man! Hardest bit was probably getting the damn thing done before the deadline haha
@@NeverusBand Hahaha yes i can imagine the pain😂
Great cover!
Thanks!
Fckin great!
Amazing vocals
Nailed that lead tone at 1:20
Thanks man! André has great taste in guitar tone 😉
You are a "teso". Respect from the other side of the world
Thanks man!
Super! New subscriber here
Awesome! Enjoy your stay haha
Огонь! 🤘🤘
Wow
Boy... your pipes improved so much!!! Damn, you may feel forced to re-record your vocals on your "And then there was silence" cover? 😜
Impressive. But since the competition has been stretched until november 13th I believe, all good things go by three. ^^
Thanks man! It felt like a good opportunity to show them off 😉
Haha yeah it's tempting to do some re-recording, especially for Feanor, but don't hold your breath 😅
Will gladly fly to the Netherlands to reprise my parts, just saying 😘
Awesome! Best regards from Ukraine!
Thanks man!
OOO some pretty fiery vocals there!
Damn near burned my throat out 🔥
Oh, sorry to hear that. I wish you a quick recovery, cause it sounds awesome. Very clean guitar work, too
@@Caglarcomposes haha thanks man. Nah it wasn't too bad really, my technique is a lot better these days so I wasn't concerned. Whereas with Feanor I was worried I'd done permanent damage 😅
Great cover. Wonder what was most challanging. Probs the vocals?
100% the vocals haha. Guitar was pretty simple in comparison to some of the Wintersun stuff I've done 😉
Though some of the rhythms got pretty speedy...
I'd start a holy war for you any day of the week 😏
Awesome job in all respects though! Your vocals are sounding very, very nice (Hansi may be undefeated ATM, but he's watching in anticipation, I'm sure ;) )
You start it, I'll end it 😉
Hansi can watch
Just awesome!!! It's just hard to hear the voices cause of the loud instrumental. But that's just a small thing. Great work.
Thanks man!
@@NeverusBand Admiration from Brazil. Keep it up. Channels only grow now if you pay google ads. It's sad.
@@ESJonasah well, I'm not too bothered about that... For now. Happy to keep it to the ultra fans who search for the songs on purpose ;)

Fuck man. As a guitarist myself i can hear that you are spot on with the nuances. And you have the voice too, the rasp and everything? I hope you earn money from your talent.
Thanks man! The fun bit is getting all the vibratos in sync 😁
The closest I get to earning money is playing Neverus shows... worth it 😎
When Getafix gives Asterix the wrong potion lol jk man, really good cover
Haha cheers man. Any other potions worth sampling? ;)
No way you’re the Jack Streat that used to make LEGO guns
Yes way 😉
wow.. incredible (:
this is probably a coincidence, but many years ago I remember a youtuber called Jack Streat that made very good lego guns and weapons.
Thanks man!
...are you sure it's a coincidence? 😉
🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏💪
👌
Please anything from middle earth album
I covered Nightfall and Feanor a few years ago, check them out!
@@NeverusBand i know i need more! Now ! :) just kidding but i really love your covers.
@@alican2418 haha thanks man. These covers aren't my only musical undertaking though - everything has to wait its turn. But never say never 😉
@@NeverusBand its up to you. I will wait. :)
@@alican2418 I'll keep you up to date haha
pica.
Technically very tough song by BG...Well done man.well tried
Cheers dude!
I've missed the moment that James Hetfield joined Blind Guardian!
Not sure if a reference to the voice or the beard 🤔
It's a wonderful mix of both things! :D
Wooaaahhh
Exactly my thoughts haha.
Bro......no way you are Jack Streat!!!!! I are one of my biggest inspirations for building LEGO since I was a 12 man. Dude It would would so dope if you replied to this comment, it would be sick to talk to talk to you...... Anyway I looks like you are doing well, rock on dude. 🤘😁🤙
Hey, thanks man! Not many people have made the connection, but yes - music is what I do now 😉 Really nice work on the SPAS 12! Loved the little shell ejection mech you added
@@NeverusBand thanx dude, it’s dope you watched it. If it’s okay with you it would be cool to talk more over email. If your down, Send me an email at info@snyzertech.com 😁
Great cover. I really like your voice. I'll subscribe to your channel for your further work. Maybe you can try singing I'm Alive from the same album as well.
Thanks! I'd have probably chosen I'm Alive (or Requiem) if they were options for the competition, actually - but as it was I was pretty pleased with this one
respectable mustache, sir!
Not a comment I expected, but gladly received nonetheless 🤣
@@NeverusBand btw you nailed the song, bro 😊
Moustache ✅
Song ✅
Self-worth ✅
Melodic death version? O-la-la )
