Andreas Valken - Only For the Weak (In Flames acoustic cover)

Hello youtube,
I know I said that the fifth cover was the last one but...here's the SIXTH In Flames acoustic cover. I just couldn't stay away from this yet.
Don't mind the solo, it has flaws, I really tried to make it as close to the original as my acoustic guitar and guitar skills allow me, I was tired already. It took most of the recording time too.
Sorry for my wierd accent sometimes and for the mistakes, I don't like to record the tracks thousands of times. It loses the feelling when repeated too many times...you know, the usual.
For the recording part, I used:
-Acoustic guitar
-Electric bass guitar
-Steinberg audio interface
-Audio Technica condenser microphone
-Cubase
-Guitar Rig 5 (for the bass amp simulator)
No auto-tune or pitch shifters, just some reverb for the vocals and guitars. No keyboards, no MIDI or external audio files. It is all me, my guitar and my voice.
Hope you like it :)

This is one of the most legendary melodic death metal songs ever. The melody of the chorus is unbeatable

[@grobariza]

Jesper Stromblad was a godtier guitarist atm

[@loidamariacruces5128]

No es death metal ni cagando, pero si, muy buena cancion

[@fatihdogac2355]

I set it as my alarm song. I am waking up happily now :)

[@zyriuz2]

[@TravisEllisMymainaccount]

I know this isn't the most popular In Flames song ever, but its my other favorite...could you possibly do Evil in a Closet? Thank you so much, just for reading this. I would love to hear it acoustically and you remind me so much of how the band sounds minus the screaming. Keep it up, thank you!!

[@andreasvalken]

Congratulations! You just guessed the next one ;) I'm almost done with Evil in a Closet

[@TravisEllisMymainaccount]

Andreas Valken !! Thank you sooo much !!

[@fredriksvard2603]

[@joakimstromback]

Det här är gudomligt!

[@ROS3NROT]

Hi, are you still there? It been long since you made acoustic cover, we kinda miss you...

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Beautiful! I found your version because I just recorded a dog themed bossa nova version of this song, and I was looking for similar stuff, soft versions of this tune! If anyone is interested, my version is available in my channel. You rock, man!

[@shovanshrestha4214]

great cover guys I would like u guys do the cover for "alias"

[@andreasvalken]

I was honestly thinking about doing that aswell. Maybe it'll be next ;) Thank you!

[@axepotnishock1879]

Dude , this is awesome , did you tabs all of those you played ?

[@andreasvalken]

Thanks :) Tabs are the same as the original song. The solo part is as accurate as my skills/patience allowed :p Cheers

[@1212Diablo]

jaja, har väntat ett tag nu på något nytt :P tycker fortfarande det är lika avslappnande att lyssna på dina låtar :)

[@andreasvalken]

Thank you! I agree with you. When I'm having a tough day, I'd rather listen to this when I get home than the noisier (yet original :p) version But that's just me :) cheers

[@ryanbennett8981]

[@jean-paulrattelade1983]

Delight and Angers?

[@isakandersson8690]

[@jean-paulrattelade1983]

All well! You do an amazing job, keep up the great work:)

[@andreasvalken]

Mehman In Flames Thank you friend, appreciate it

[@TravelinStygianify]

Nice cover, are you still thinking about doing Evil in a closet?

[@jonnytrai]

Tabs maybe?

[@fSateQ]

Do Clayman i beg you

[@fSateQ]

Got this comment upvoted by Andreas Walken himself. Clayman incomming :)

[@jorgecastro3754]

fSateQ ahah it's Valken :) And unfortunately Clayman is not next yet. I started to adapt some parts of it to acoustic but it will take me a littel more. I'll upload a quick that I made. It is easy that's why I went for it. Otherwise I'd be offline for too long and I'm accumulating requests :p Se you all in a couple of hours. Another one is coming. Not as good as these :/ but I couldn't make much more out of it. Cheers!

[@FloRider66]

Andreas Valken still waiting ..no.. craving! for clayman dude

[@ryantsup6623]

although this cover is really good, I notice how much the screaming affects the whole thing. without it is will never be the same

[@Aced91]

Fianlly i can play in flames in a campfire

[@SankaPankov]

Beter than in Flames)

[@andreasvalken]

Thank for the compliment but I have to disagree with you. In Flames are still the reason I do these covers. Cheers

[@dinkobilic9078]

Agreed. You did the stellar job here, but the original is still the best.

[@hakonsderholm1723]

Great cover! I don't know if I told you last time we spoke, but I did a cover inspired by your cover of "Take This Life"! You should defenetly check it out! Keep rocking \m/

[@andreasvalken]

Just checked it ! You did a great job. Nice adaptation. Keep it up, You have my Like and Subscription :)

[@hakonsderholm1723]

Andreas Valken Thanks! I might do a cover of "Only For The Weak" too, since yours is just amazing! But that is in the future. Working on a cover of "Nothing Else Matters" these days. I have laid down all the guitar tracks and am currently recording vocals! Looking forward to more covers from you! Best of luck! :)
