    Strange Cover Songs (Songs Covered by Artists You Wouldn't Expect)

    There are a lot of these. Some of my favorites:

    Queen - Under Pressure (covered by the Blood Brothers):

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAubMoy2MNU

    Probably my favorite from a pure listenability standpoint. The move to 3/4 is incredibly impressive and the song works way more than it probably should (Then again I'm heavily biased towards the Blood Brothers).

    New Order - Blue Monday (covered by M.I.A.?)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iG4b9GKX9Q

    Not really a cover, but the melody is jacked directly from New Order and is kinda weird in that sense.

    Another two takes on these songs:

    My Chemical Romance and The Used covering Under Pressure

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TjYvn2AQhM

    Orgy covering Blue Monday

    Those two are more well known though, so how about an obscure one? Let's get a hard rock cover of NIN's Head Like a Hole by Showbread

    (Ignore the AMV, it's poor quality but you can hear it)

    Sounding awesome! Now just a tiny nitpick that I would fix if it were mine, otherwise it'll take more experienced ears than my own to tell you what to change. In the intro, right when the drums come in, change the tone of the guitar from the very intro part. Bring it forward, give it more edge and make it more prominent. That's your lead during that time and it kind of gets swallowed by everything else (which was probably a result of lowering the lows on it, but that's ok, leave it just like that before the drums come in!). Maybe give it some chorus, or even just make it louder, I'm not sure. If that lead comes more forward then I think that'll really give the beginning what it needs. Other than that, good job and I'll leave this alone for others to help with :D

    Much better on the rhythm guitars and bass. This is sounding a lot better, here are some minor nitpicks:

    -For the intro guitar, I'd cut off a lot of the low end. That way, you really get the punch when the drums and bass come in. Right now they're taking up a similar place frequency wise, so there's no real punch. You could probably boost it's highs a tiny bit, too. Also, you probably know this, but the drums in the real song come in a few beats earlier than yours does, which might also help the initial punch.

    -Rhythm guitars are sounding way better without reverb, but you still might want to give them a wide boost somewhere between 1500-2000. They're a bit muffled right now and don't really have any bite. This is especially noticable when they're playing alongside the double kick, which has a ton of high end to it (leave it that way, just boost the highs on the guitars to match).

    -Synth sounds pretty good, but you could try fattening it up with some chorus or the like. Play around with it, but you've got a good start there.

    -Lead guitar could just use a tiny bit more on the highs, but the solo works well and sounds good.

    Don't just increase the highs on the whole mix, though; the drums already have plenty, and the last thing you want to do is give them even more. Just bring out the highs in the guitars a bit so that they don't sound so muffled compared to everything else. Nice ending, too. Looking forward to hearing the next version!

    Alright, listening now, here are my critiques:

    Bass needs more dirt. Mix the dry signal with some slight overdrive and give it a narrow boost around 1000-1500 to bring out the attack. I think your guitars still have too much reverb on them, especially the rhythm guitars. They sound like they're being played underwater. The leads are probably ok, and changing the amount of reverb on the rhythm guitars will make them more distinct. Solo sounds great, no complaints there. The drums sound super dry while the guitars don't, so they sound like they're in different rooms. The timing sounds better, but still off a tiny bit. You've got a pretty decent track, good job!
