DRAGONFORCE’s Gee Anzalone Releases Extreme Drum Cover For METALLICA’s “Creeping Death”, Feat. BRAINDAMAGE

DRAGONFORCE drummer Gee Anzalone has posted on his Official Youtube Channel a new “one take recording” extreme drum cover video for METALLICA‘s “Creeping Death”, Feat. BRAINDAMAGE, watch it here:

Gee comments:

It’s pointless to tell you how much I love this song.. I always thought “How this song could sounds with a heavier drum part beneath? Could it sounds better? Could it sounds worse? Here you can listen it 🙂 Personally I love both versions, the original and this one too! 🙂 Of course I love Lars’s playing, my drumming just sounds totally different from his.

I recorded this song with my life’s friends Braindamage and I thanks Andrea Signorelli & Gigi Giugno for the huge help they gave me to record this killer version of this amazing song. Biggest thanks goes also to Damien Rainaud, who mixed this song (doing a great job :)).

The drums has been recorded in one take (as usual is in all my drum videos) no camera’s “switch-views” to hide mistakes, only sweat ( as you probably will notice in the video ;D relax, endurance, control and hard work.

Tips for new Youtube drummers : Don’t waste your time in video editing, more editing you do, more your drumming looks fake and the drum cover useless, play drums at the best you can instead , try not to do mistakes from the beginning till the end of the song, in this way, while you are recording the video you are also learning how to play drums, and this is the useful part.

Keep up the good and hard work! Subscribed to my channel, and feel free to share this drum cover wherever you want. Horns up Metalheads!

Cheers and I’ll see you in tour with DragonForce!

DragonForce announced earlier this month that musician and YouTube personality Stevie T (Steve Terreberry) will join the band for the USA leg of their upcoming world tour. Herman Li jokingly invited Stevie T to join the band this summer, asking him to play the triangle. Stevie T responded with a video on his YouTube channel, accepting Li’s offer and playing an extended triangle solo to DragonForce‘s hit “Through the Fire and Flames.” Stevie T’s ground-breaking triangle solo can be viewed at: youtu.be/k3jXO1gbhY8

Li comments: “I was deeply moved when I saw Stevie T’s technical precision and finesse on the triangle and immediately invited him to join the tour. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the greatest triangle player ever to grace this earth.”

Additionally, Stevie T will step in to play bass for the band, after the departure of bassist Frédéric Leclercq, which was also recently announced. Leclercq’s last show with DragonForce was at Elb-Riot in Hamburg, Germany. Li comments, “We want to thank Fred for all the musical contributions and good times over the years. As sad as we are to lose him, we are excited that he is going to continue playing the music he loves. He will always be a friend and a member of the DragonForce family.”

Armed with a pair of rhythm blasters, players will be able to step into a cosmic arena and smash targets to the beat of the song.

Clocking in at just under 7 minutes, the full-length version of “Highway to Oblivion” on Expert will be the most difficult song on the soundtrack to date.
