Back when I played the old GH games when I was a lot younger, I had not heard of about 90% of the songs that were in the games and I was used to all of the cover versions of the songs. Now that I listen to metal 24/7, the covers don't even bother me because I listened to them all the time when I was younger.
I know what you're thinking "If this singer sings like he's trying to sing, it would be much more like A7X." You still have to give credit to that drummer who can drum like Rev.
This was my first introduction into Avenged. I was like only 5 and I didn't know what cover songs were yet. I loved this song and when I heard the original for the first time with Shadows voice and Gates guitar omg it was magical. I am 21 now and they are still my favorite band.
AlphaDragonn I've heard the original and singing sounds like he is shaking. But, really. This version's chorus is really a great part because he sounds fine compared Shadows. If they tried to be too much like A7X, what would this version be called?
@@LuigiTheMetal64 I cannot believe anyone could ever even say any part of this terrible cover is better than the song that arguably put avenged sevenfold where it is today. The way Shadows sings is the theme of the album, listen to the whole thing, it's just city of evil. Self-titled Shadows shows how great of a singer he is. The issue with the wavegroup singer is he has ZERO range... He can sing high somewhat, but his singing sucks pretty damn bad on the chorus. Still can't see why they used this cover, Shadows is a HUGE gamer and undoubtedly would've let Activision or Harmonix use the master track essentially for free lol. This cover is so bad, I am shocked A7X even allowed it in the game, I'll tell you right now, if I had never heard them before, this song wouldn't make me check them out.
Easily my favorite song to play on 2. It just had such a thrash feel through the starting grind that really tested your strumming and quick chords. But that chorus was your break and just had such a great tone that you vibed it hard while taking the nice easy single scales. It dragged you into the song so you didn't feel like you were just playing a game anymore.
seriously, why did they stop doing covers? it was so amazing, i know they where low budget and all but, i really prefered to play the game with covers, i think it was a better experience, since you'r playing with a band that plays covers, nohing like some covers to cover their covers up.
@@nu-agegamer3548 They were, but when you think about it, in the game you are a random ass cover band that plays at all these random gigs. Of course they'll sound like shit. It made more sense to have covers instead of the actual songs.
@@nu-agegamer3548 gh2 has good covers man, heart shaped box has a better guitar but worse vocalist, cherry pie it's almost like the original one, hangar 18 it's also good, free bird it's fucking epic
I credit GH2 and this song for introducing me to A7X. They are now my favorite band of all time! Just this January, I got a random message from RUclips telling me I listen to more Avenged Sevenfold than 99.98 percent of all youtubers.
Fun fact: that paintjob is supossed to be Izzy Sparks (the same guitarist you're seeing here) guitar in Guitar Hero 1, since every character in that game was supossed to have a special paintjob for a specific guitar, for example, Judy Nails had a broken white Gibson SG as her signature guitar.
i honestly like the chorus of this song in this cover more than the original. take it with a grain of salt, i’m not an avenged sevenfold fan and i heard this cover way more as a kid than the original :p
When i was a kid this was the first and only a7x song i knew.. there was this goth dude who lived down the stteet from me he was like two years older than me he loved this band and got mad at me when i asked him did he like this song (he was acting like this was mainstream a7x or the song all a7x posers know)
The Rev was still alive when this game came out this game came out in 2006 and the Rev died in 2009 so I don't see why they would cover this in "appreciation" to the Rev
Ya that could be true but why not respect the whole band why just the Rev I'm a drummer and the Rev is one my biggest role models but the rest of the band is really talented too
Idk why I’m thinking this could possibly be me but when I was in 2nd grade I was always talking about avenged sevenfold so I had to ask in case I somehow knew you 🤣
the face of the guitarist :)))) like a baby with six pack abs, the funniest moment is that Guitar Hero animation system combines happy and angry face together :)))
It's much harder on GH2 because of its horse shit of an engine combined with the fast strumming, though RB3's chart is more accurate and just overall better
GH2 and RB3's engine are actually a little similar, except RB acts weirder with ghosting and doesn't have a strum limit. But RB2's engine is about the same as GH2's engine, but better.
Hellspawn RKO yeah because some fanboys who even understand/can't play a fucking single instrument will rage like they are music experts and trying to insult everyone that try to cover a7x song, oh god that the truth
some covers are easy, some are hard irl. GH not so good in covers however people can learn how to play real instruments when they either pay attention to sounds and notes from a7x and that they has inspired some people to play. when ppl are inspired by a band, they want to learn but in order to do that (from what i was taught) one should practice popular songs just to get the techniques and the feeling down. just saying
🎤"Izzy Sparks Brutal Legend hinted with Stonehenge merchandise,setting up stages,headbangers freed,Jack Black the girl he saved,Ozzy Osbourne,Lemmy,...etc game!"
There were other ones too: Surrender, Last Child, Sweet Child of Mine, Psychobilly Freakout, Hush (Xbox 360 version) and Free Bird. Of course it's just my opinion. IMHHO.

Pretty sure it's a drum machine, since there's no accents and the drums sound very "plastic"
You do realize that there are very talented musicians out there that can play almost identical if not better than the original artists?
That's not even his voice for sure haha🤣😂 that's the voice of the game itself😂🤣

Same man, same
I know I’m not the only person who appreciates this cover. I love to come back and listen to it just for the enjoyment of the different style.
The cover singer sounds like he's trying to sing this song drunk on karaoke night lol
AlphaDragonn I've heard the original and singing sounds like he is shaking. But, really. This version's chorus is really a great part because he sounds fine compared Shadows. If they tried to be too much like A7X, what would this version be called?
At the last part the vocals are shit
Hahahaha!!!!

@@chiefzackery6651 This terrible cover was the first I've ever heard of a7x. The guitar riff is what made me want to check them out
I remember when easy in guitar hero was too hard for me :') Now i am playing gh on expert and real guitar too.
Same!

Marcin Nieważny Lol, i passed the Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80's with 5 stars in all songs with dualshock. I play a real guitar too.

I underestimated the graphics of this game based on the ui. The game looks real nice
Because this game was released during the Playstation II era.
This song is so fun to play
when youdo a a7x cover after only 2 hours of sleep
Drummer doe 😳
this seems like the most plausible explanation for the terrible vocals outside the chorus

@@Famer9 Don't get me wrong, Free Bird and Hangar 18 I couldn't tell were covers beside the slightly different Guitar tone and vocalist.
2:19 Instant death
I was stuck on that part for a while
There’s always that one part of the song on expert that weeds out the weak.
I credit GH2 and this song for introducing me to A7X. They are now my favorite band of all time! Just this January, I got a random message from RUclips telling me I listen to more Avenged Sevenfold than 99.98 percent of all youtubers.
Gotta love the "Rising Sun" paintjob. Points to the development team for this game.
Fun fact: that paintjob is supossed to be Izzy Sparks (the same guitarist you're seeing here) guitar in Guitar Hero 1, since every character in that game was supossed to have a special paintjob for a specific guitar, for example, Judy Nails had a broken white Gibson SG as her signature guitar.
este juego me trae recuerdos de la infancia 😥😥
2:31 I LOVE THAT FEELING (awesome combo, time to smack that whammy bar)
i honestly like the chorus of this song in this cover more than the original. take it with a grain of salt, i’m not an avenged sevenfold fan and i heard this cover way more as a kid than the original :p
I’ve listened to Avenged Sevenfold my whole life and I out of a lot of covers this is easily the best
This game is what got me into rock/metal, will forever hold a place in my heart as part of my childhood🤘🏻
THAT FUCKING SINGER SOUNDS LIKE A DISNEY CHANNEL NARRATOR! NOT M.SHADOWS!
+Laughing Walrus Derkader >.>
When i was a kid this was the first and only a7x song i knew.. there was this goth dude who lived down the stteet from me he was like two years older than me he loved this band and got mad at me when i asked him did he like this song (he was acting like this was mainstream a7x or the song all a7x posers know)
You totally nailed the solos! This is awesome, pretty legit :p
Exactly
sem dúvidas

I freaking love AX7 so much like absolutely my favorite jams.
It's not "AX7", it's "A7X", but thanks, KarenEsparza3,105
*misses the last note*
😱😑😑😑😑😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😵🔫 😇
That feeling is the fucking worst.
I feel ur pain i missed the solo snd restarted
Very impressive. This song is one of the more difficult ones and you nailed it!
This captures the song perfectly like the drums. WaveGroup made this cover as an appreciation to Rev.
The Rev was still alive when this game came out this game came out in 2006 and the Rev died in 2009 so I don't see why they would cover this in "appreciation" to the Rev
Seth Piper Maybe he means respect for him being a good drummer.
Ya that could be true but why not respect the whole band why just the Rev I'm a drummer and the Rev is one my biggest role models but the rest of the band is really talented too
I feel like they showed respect to everyone but M. Shadows.
That singer did a terrible job.
nice job man but being a a7x fan, this cover is bad :(
Yeah it sounds like garbage. Matt Shadows would put him to shame 😡
Seriously
THIS COVER IS EPIC NO BAD MAN
You don’t have to be a fan to figure out that this cover is worse than 2020 is.
That's not even his voice for sure haha🤣😂 that's the voice of the game itself😂🤣
I love this version so much I get lost at 4:49 😍 the real version sounds so bland and dead in smash hits they really did an amazing job.
This is a pretty good cover, seems like some people in the comments are tone deaf.
this is great aside from the vocals (esp the chorus)
This was my fav song
My best friend from 2nd grade love that song.
Idk why I’m thinking this could possibly be me but when I was in 2nd grade I was always talking about avenged sevenfold so I had to ask in case I somehow knew you 🤣
it's been while
Hai bang :v
the face of the guitarist :)))) like a baby with six pack abs, the funniest moment is that Guitar Hero animation system combines happy and angry face together :)))
Major shoutout to whoever did the drums and guitar on the cover, but especially the drums
Guitar hero is Millennial nostalgia...
The bulk of this song is easier on real guitar 🤣🤣🤣
The actual main riff is about the same and I love that but most of the song like every other song in guitar hero is super overcharted
I know this is a cliche comment, but this song used to kick my ass even on medium, but now I can FC this song on expert and play it on real guitar.
This is AWESOME
IDK Why but I think this is possible on GH1 Engine!
I know a guy that could do it with enough patience
i loved how it was challening but like this ok its enjoyable but its just like rockband or anyother game with a guitar
this is amazing guitar hero Beast and the harlot
This is a fucking horrible cover.
But when you're 7 and all you have is a PS2 and a plastic guitar to pass the time, this is about as good as it gets.
Erica Smith that's not it at all
HA, but i don't have a plastic guitar
wait
shit
why people are so upset with this cover? its not as good as the original but still ok
Guitar hero 2 the better i loved 😘😘😘
Incredible
you should've picked Pandora for that one
OMGGG
BEAST
+AbbyOtaku ...In the harlot
WOOP
And he is babylon the great
Holy fuck that guitarist model's face is so fucking creepy LOL!
Why does it sound like Dave mustaine on vocals 😭
Nostalgia
the ending is very poppy to be honest
Rock band 3's is a lot harder. Just compare the guitar solos
It's much harder on GH2 because of its horse shit of an engine combined with the fast strumming, though RB3's chart is more accurate and just overall better
AlphaDragonn maybe you're right. Haven't played gh2 since maybe 10 years ago and I wasn't expert good back then either
I haven't played GH2 in a few months, but I've been playing RB3 a lot lately and the chart is relatively easy if you can play expert decently
GH2 and RB3's engine are actually a little similar, except RB acts weirder with ghosting and doesn't have a strum limit.
But RB2's engine is about the same as GH2's engine, but better.
@@alphadragonn3685 What about Guitar Hero:Smash Hits chart? It has more chords on some parts but overall the solo its much easier there.
Impresive 🎉🎉🎉
The vocals aren't even in the right key
But anyways nice fc!
its awesome!
amazing
Idk bur i preffer this cover than the original
My hands hurt just watching this.
I love this cover
My favorite song of guitar hero 2! 🤩🤘
I know old vid but i typically watch your vids of songs i struggle with, or for path. But any tips for the strumming in the solo?
Why does that look easier than it actually is?
Well that's Guitar Hero for you :)
This is a year old but it looks a bit easier to play if you see the notes actually being hit (kind of works for me)
legend song
What's song is harder Jordan or Beast and the Harlot?
Jordan is definitely way harder
I have one rule when doing a cover of Avenged Sevenfold: DON'T COVER AVENGED SEVENFOLD.
Hellspawn RKO yeah because some fanboys who even understand/can't play a fucking single instrument will rage like they are music experts and trying to insult everyone that try to cover a7x song, oh god that the truth
