Verga vs Yakamashii: Heavy Metal Cover

verga · 07-28-2005, 07:08 PM

Heavy Metal Cover Battle.

The only chance i have to win against someone like you is throwing all the best that i can actually play. Something like this came to my mind: "Fight fire with fire"... Its a pleasure to battle you shread lord Kai Yakamashii. Michael Angelo Batio - "No Boundaries". Good Luck

.

Awesome!!! Verga, you are just an amazing talented guitarist. Although I have not compared the original version against your rendition, it sounded smooth and clean IMO. I can't wait to hear Yaka's entry and the result of this battle.

i really despise this song .. if you can call it a song lol . but you really did a stunning job with the playing and it sounds like a very good cover and thats what counts here . i'll look forward to seeing what Yak puts up against this .

for now though . good job mate ... but why Angelo Batio

lol

Damn dude, That was jaw dropping. Superb playing dude, sounded exactly like the orginal. Im sure yak's will be awesome also.

I really don't usually like this style a lot, I mean its still great but what you've done is great. I think its really great how you are very versatile. I just want to ask how long have you been playing? I've wanted to ask that for a while.

Agree 100% I despise Batio

But absolutly fantastic playing Verga

Great playing Verga, too bad the BT sucks, but nevermind that. I used to help out Kasey Kasen when he was drummer for Nitro, right before they fell apart. Mike is a very uptight guy, and he's very self conscious. He can play guitar though, and quite well I might add, but his quest for speed sometimes ruins everything he does. If you ever see him perform, note his picking, its extremely accurate. G

JOE STUMP cover Pharoah`s Delight is more melody ,less shred and heavy lol

More melody? That was smoking! Absolutly amazing bro!! you nailed a freaking awesome tone there...this gonna be tough

Thanks everybody. Is not that i love MA Batio work that much, but when the word shread is spelled you cannot take away this guy as a direct reference to it. "No Boundaries" is a standard to say you are a shreder in some forums..... its incredible when people say "Naaa, Yngwie/ Petrucci/*your fav shreder*/ its not playing shread , just crazy diminished notes all around...." I recorded this song a while ago (and i mean a while) because as a stupid shread head that i was i wanted to prove that i really could shread to some more stupid people than me. Anyway, i think i did a good job and i like the song. This is a COVER battle, its a bitch to nail down perfectly but i guess the mistakes on it are forgetable. Im glad you like it.

The TikiBar · 07-29-2005, 09:10 AM

G job by both of you. Man this is a har decision. I'm gonna have to go with Yaka though. Love that neck tone, what gear do you use?

GROS · 07-29-2005, 09:24 AM

The Clash of the GODS!!! oh my goooood! Yak: That was incredible man. Verga: I never heard anyone on earth exept Mike itself that could play that song flawless like you did. You have my vote.

abbadon · 07-29-2005, 09:25 AM

WOW!!! First timer here, I must say you both are amazing! I was thinking of getting involved in the guitar battles here but after hearing this I guess I had better wait a looooong time till I could even hold a candle to you guys. While both entries were awesome, verga's made my jaw drop, awesome stuff guys.

Great
