You Guys Hear This Cover Yet?

[angelspade]

While it's impossible to match the original (absolute classic)...I'm kind of digging this cover. What do you guys think of this rhythm guitar tone? I like those grindy upper mids...Think that's a real amp, or modeler?

 

[Beyond Black]

Cool guitar tone fo sho...The vocals pale in comparison to the original.
Horrible drum tone, it’s like the high hat is inside my fucking head like a ticking tumor.

 

[VonBonfire]

No Udo, no deal.

If your last name isn't Dirkschneider, get off the mic.

And ffs get your balls off the wall too while you’re at it!

Bloody right.
We only just had it re-plastered and painted to get rid of the smell of the last lot.

I dig the guitar sound more and more...Halford did a good job, but Udo's timber, phrasing and vocal character is very hard to mimic.

I like it! Thanks for sharing.

That would be my guess too - either an amp or modeler, it has a very engl flavor

 

[stratjacket]

Cool cover. I think Halford does it great too.

 

[WizardAmpIphoneClip]

Well the original had a pretty muffled high end too, but the drums were at least real
