I'll listen to that when I get somewhere that I can listen. For now, list your top 5 best metal albums ever. For just the music at face value.

Ooooh this is a TOUGH question!!

I no order of preference and trying not to name more than one album per band. Also keeping in mind I'm not considering Black Sabbath as Metal per se.

- Ride The Lightning - Metallica

- Crack The Skye - Mastodon

- Sad Wings of Destiny - Judas Priest

- Vulgar Display of Power - Pantera

- The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

Thank you!!  

What would be yours?

And my clones are baaaack!!!   

This would actually be the cover of the cover.

The song Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin was covered by Ugly Kid joe in the 90s. This version is after Ugly Kid Joe's cover

I hope you like it!  

Something new!  

This one is a collaboration and it was also requested by a friend.

By Boston, this is Smokin'

I hope you like it! 

And another new video!  

More Classic Rock: something by Led Zeppelin this time.
This is The Ocean  

I hope you like it!

New video!! And oh this one took a LOOOOONG time to be finished   

But it's - I think - the best I've donde so far, be it in terms of the actual performance and the mixing and overall sound achieved.

Of course it wouldn't have been possible without the 2 amazing collaborations I had for this video: my friends who wrote the drums track, and played piano and keyboards (plus backing vocals).

So, this is a song by DREAM THEATER, from their concept album "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory"

THE SPIRIT CARRIES ON

I hope you like it!

And allow me to tag you all because I insist this is the best cover video I've done so far and I'm unusually happy and proud of the final result.

Sorry, can't watch it. I think something is wrong with my video card.

Oh, that sucks!

Bien heco mi amigo!

I haven't seen this side of DT before, so your version is definitive as far as I know.  How long does it take to do all of these parts?

Very nice. Thanks!

Thank you so much! This song is actually one of the "simple" one by them  

I worked on this video for about a year. Actually a little more. With quite some pauses in between of course.

But learning each part, especially on a song like this one takes time. The guitar solo alone I practiced it for over a year before recording it.

And the other difficult part, which took some time (though not THAT much) was transcribing the choir at the end and then doing the arrangement with each different vocal part and then recording it.

You should be proud of this one! You are amazing in this!!

Well worth the time and effort, and it showed! 
 

I have to say it’s been a while since I’ve heard the song, so it was almost brand new. 
 

Bravo, dear Sir, BRAVO 👏🏻 !!!

They definitely don't seem to half ass.  I figured that a lot of work had to have gone into it seeing as how it seems like a lot of work for any type of song. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I need to take another listen to that rockability number you did. Speaking of instruments though, I was curious what people from your part of the pond and you yourself think of the accordion. I find it to be really hit or miss in that it either sounds great or terrible with no middle ground.
