If you say "that was an alright cover" he will translate it to "you are a fucking god omg I love you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Put it this way, he doesn't belong in the Horrible Cover Thread. If there was a Massive Twat Thread, maybe. But apart from being a dick he really doesn't deserve the hate. His covers are a lot better than a lot that I've seen, including ones done by kittens.

Guest Batman. Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I've always thought that it's a bit pointlessly mean to have a thread dedicated to finding out all covers that we don't like, and systematically demoralizing the person that did the cover. It's funny at times to laugh at the arrogant ones, but some/most of these people are just beginners starting out, who haven't done a thing wrong other than play a song badly.

Will_ Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I laugh more at the people that upload these thinking they're actually any good, which seems to be the majority. I went nowhere near YT when I was shit, which was a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superimposition Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I can understand uploading stuff if you're shit. You aren't all that great and may want critique on your technique and stuff. Just like in places like Deviantart etc. I mean, I'm still pretty shit aswell, but I upload my shit to know what people think of it. They point out mistakes I might not notice myself and I improve. That being said, terrible musicians that upload their videos and actually expect people to be spaffing about their 'amazing bellorz skills' are just fucking hilarious. gsk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntelligentAl Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah but Esparoba IS good though. Like I said, he's clearly a twat, but he plays at least as well and if not better than the majority of the people here who are giving him shit. And besides, some of the beef here just goes way too far. Like when the Define Tension drummer posted here the other week. After everything that had been said here about him and his band, he would have had every right to show up and be pissed off, REALLY pissed off. But instead he took everything in good humour and just tried to go along with the joke. Yet he still got needlessly ripped to shreds? And to ridiculously harsh extremes. I just think its way too much. Sure you might think someone isn't as good a musician as yourself, but there's really no need for all the shit. I'm not a fan of this thread to be honest.

Seaking Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm not a fan of this thread to be honest. It is funny every now and again but I agree sometimes it goes too far. And too often. Someone (it was Kuller but for some reason I wrote someone) said that KnT as harsh yesterday and he was definitely right. It's pretty brutal in here if you aren't a regular.

GONNA HAVE TO AGREE HERE. It's true with Esparowankero, he is definitely decent, despite the fact he's an utter twat. I don't know what the drummer was expecting though.

IntelligentAl Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 He cant have expected what he got. I forget who it was (Jamie and Neil?), but they were completely out of line. Way over the top. Fair play to the drummer for taking it in good humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like this thread, mainly when I see the arrogant ones that I wonder how they at all thought uploading a cover was a good idea. But several times I've seen covers that aren't as bad, and some that are even better than I could do. Esparoba has made some great covers sometimes. Some meh ones of course (I didn't like his Forced In cover at all), but not worth all the hate he gets just cause the ego. K&T in general can be a bit of an elitist group mainly cause it's smaller population. Sometimes it's hilarious like when you derailed that MM thread, sometimes it isn't like when the beef starts. I don't hang around with the Bantards enough to compare though. Are people questioning the almighty Horrible Covers Thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with his recent Sunburn. Put more time into one or two songs instead of 12 and he would be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
