Cry For Eternity (DragonForce) Guitar Cover

[@HalfDuck]

I used AI to remove all the original DragonForce guitar tracks from this song, and recorded my own (commenting this because some people were confused). Doing that also removed the keyboards unfortunately, though so I recorded some keyboards in a few places too

[@Rngalmcfc]

Waiting for new video bro

[@Mythikal13]

The title of this song is what happens when I try to learn this

[@HalfDuck]

The intro is tuned to D standard, that's what a lot of people don't realize

[@walterflores6712]

Hahahaahaha

[@thetrawlerman]

The singing after the solo is so fucking catchy. That's what makes Dragonforce epic as fuck.

[@Destroyah5000]

My favorite transition into Chorus 3 Dragonforce has ever written.

[@bobvanka]

ZP may not have been great live but he contributed to two of the best albums ever written, Sonic Firestorm and Inhuman Rampage. Excellent cover man, would love to see Body Breakdown next.

[@HalfDuck]

I hope we at least get to hear some new stuff from ZP, sucks what happened with Skid Row

[@Ferjpb]

Só sendo Ingênuo pra dizer que ZP não é e foi o melhor vocalista desta banda. 🤦🏽

[@Ferjpb]

O ZP fumava, bebia álcool e ainda dava o seu melhor no palco nos ao vivo, cara falar que o ZP não foi bom ao vivo só pode estar delirando

[@grille3182]

By all the Gods, finally a hero appears

[@AlanRojasMusic]

you're the best.

[@HalfDuck]

You're the best!

[@SlimyMarmot]

One of the extremely few cover players who don't screw around with note accuracy, no matter how insane. Big ups. This comment was made in remembrance of a very odd-looking duck near me that passed away recently.

[@niclaswa5408]

Ayyy face reveal! I wasn’t a fan that the chart, tab and lyrics took turns to be on screen, but who cares. It’s the guitar playing we want to see, and you sir, delivered! And yes, EPM next!

[@FraserEdwards]

Haha nice solo! Really takes me back in time 😁🤙🤙

[@HalfDuck]

I see what you did there

[@FraserEdwards]

@@HalfDuck 😁

[@randomtrainboy]

hey you sound like dragonforce

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

Looking forward to the “Quack Duckstorm” album! =>

[@HalfDuck]

Are you manifesting an album into existance

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

@@HalfDuckI can’t simply will an album into existence. I’ll end up like King Lear, screaming at nothing. Now, I’m not saying you should make a Quack Duckstorm album. But I’m not saying you shouldn’t either.

[@alto4158]

Bro finally, possibly the hardest song ever made and you did it,thank you so much, You're a legend!!!!!!!

[@MattStormage]

Amazing job. I'd love to hear you play Disciples of Babylon.

[@isaacmayhew1181]

they NEED to perform this live

[@bernardoreyes3384]

The Pac-Man and elephant killed me. 😂😂😂

[@johngtr3577]

Didnt believed when i first heard it,but i loved the way you putted Somewhere Back In Time in the middle of the solo! My favourite from Ascension.

[@Zakkujo]

Dude this is so CLEAN

[@turbulencia4190]

WONDERFULLLL THE FIRST INTRO SOLO ... HE COULD DID IT

Thank you so much for uploading this.

You welcome

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

GODDAMN this is an epic cover of one of my most favorite DragonForce songs!

[@leongilnestorivan]

5:46 is sick!!!!!!!!!

[@KristofferThorsheim]

The song everyone loves, but everyone hates learning!

[@liambuchan4162]

YOU ACTUALLY DID IT YOU MAD LAD!!! Love ya

[@ElaborateTiger]

I think it's about time DragonForce themselves play this song live.

[@sensacionsombria5125]

they cannot pull this off on stage

[@igordias3899]

​@@sensacionsombria5125why no?

[@sensacionsombria5125]

@@igordias3899 because they simply can't, mostly Herman and Marc

[@mkz4383]

​@@sensacionsombria5125If they can pull off revolution deathsquad live, they can nail cry for eternity for sure

[@irfan-kurniawan]

herman said on the livestream that this song is extremely hard to play live

[@xethaz8088]

For the boys 5:27 😎😎😎 EDIT: Incredible fucking cover holy crap

[@freezeur]

This is perfect. You're incredibly talented man, congratulations

[@irfan-kurniawan]

The best cover ever on this song

[@thenatron6136]

Outstanding cover on 2:30 there should be moistcritical screaming ''WOOOOO'''

[@thetrawlerman]

I just realized you showed your face Not only you're fucking killing with the guitar but you're also serving looks

[@JarheadHME]

i'm not the first to notice but i got whiplash when that ascension part came in during the solo cause i literally listened to anotherr ascension song just before this lmao as usual, damn awesome job man

[@HalfDuck]

I just need to stop saying they sound like dragonforce now

[@Lordszynencja]

this is epic, it sounds just like original

[@dannyvalz]

Wait a second, that's Ascension in the solo at 6:15!!!! Amazing little Easter egg :D

[@HalfDuck]

Haha someone noticed, gj

[@dannyvalz]

@@HalfDuck Did you expect it to be so quick though? ;)

[@TheAlmightyToaster01]

I thought it sounded familiar

[@kawikaoloa9153]

i didn’t think it was possible to replicate..absolutely sick AF my man 🔥🤙🏽

[@HalfDuck]

It was very difficult to tab it in a playable way

[@zero28ism]

Let's fucking goo. The best song of the album frfr

[@StarTard8]

At some point Black Winter Night or Operation Ground and Pound are in order

[@therealpancake7140]

God damn dude, cleaner than Mr. Clean

[@HalfDuck]

I never met mr clean, he sounds clean though

[@sakstern]

also if you do either or, body breakdown and epm are two very VERY solid choices, my vote goes to body breakdown because of how old and orgasmic it is

[@Synest2]

I had to even pause the video to laugh at 2:32 lmao, good one Amazing cover as always! Also, only the goats will know that this is not your first face reveal, first one was like, 3 years ago when you were in a band or something

[@HalfDuck]

Lmao I knew there had to be at least one 2018 duck GOAT somewhere

[@Xbox-ug1rl]

MY MAN IS HANDSOME

[@TerminatorZXY]

Next challenge: The Flame of Youth, but the live version because big funny.

[@HalfDuck]

That intro tho

[@TerminatorZXY]

@@HalfDuck include the fucked up one before the replay

[@A94MDJOFFICIAL77]

Hard working...🔥🔥

[@Delta_Om3ga]

I love how you used the footage from the old cover of the solo, and harmonized with that in some places as well.

[@Jeramatsu]

Haaaaay saw your face lol how can I get this chart on clone hero

[@BoykeAdlin]

Sorry Iam late Brother,waiting long for this baddasss cover 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Alicat09]

It's crazy I was literally just thinking about the solo for this song and then this popped up, love it.

Epic cover and the best one yet for this song. Nice! Btw 6:15 voice in the background?

[@AlanRojasMusic]

Somewhere Back In Time chorus by Ascension hahahaha

6:15 what are those vocals in the background????????

[@BlissBee]

You should do no fucks were given and theif in the night part 1 and 2 merged together

[@GustavoFerreira-ci8tp]

Finally someone with balls to cover this masterpiece!

[@bobbyjayjohnson3460]

Question 1. 5:46 Was this part in particular sped up? Question 2. 6:15 What was that song that was mixed in?

[@vusiliyK]

I learned the part at 5:46 (but at a much slower speed) after seeing the video of you playing it a few months ago. Not sure if I'll ever be able to play it at full speed. Good job! I hope Herman li does a reaction to one of your videos some day 🤘

[@sakstern]

Pacman and elephant, nice! absolutely mad cover

[@HalfDuck]

Best part of the song

It's really tough for covers like this to get views in this era of KZbin, I tried my best and stepped up my game a bit though haha

[@buneco05]

@@HalfDuck I can tell. Since the Soulless 4, when I found out your channel, this video in particular is out of this world. Hope Herman Lee reacts to it. Honestly, I think you might collab at some point. I don't think there is someone better at playing Dragonforce songs EXACTLY how they were recorded as you. You are crazy good and an inspiration. Keep going dude

EPM next please!! Maybe you could even collab with Tonnykeys for the keyboard solos? He’s got a ton of the DF keyboard solos covered already (and they’re CLEAN too), he might even know them already.

[@itachidks3331]

Great Cover D:

[@zoomin9397]

I see you are reusing footage and recordings from when you covered only the solo but that is forgiven cause this whole cover is monumental. Here before herman!

[@HalfDuck]

Yeah it'd be better if I redid the solo with my new camera, but I'd have to relearn the entire solo again haha. Herman can relate to that pain

[@StzaJack]

Insane cover dude. I think you should add to the bio that you removed the original guitar with AI, it sounds so similar that I thought I could only hear the original. I will say it again though - genuinely insane cover. Humans are incredible at times lol

[@HalfDuck]

Ohh, good point haha, I'll make it a pinned comment. I spent quite a while trying to nail the lead and rhythm tones

[@flamma1114]

That’s a weird guitar you have there. It has strings instead of buttons, I didn’t even know they existed 😮

[@thomasbonds2559]

Great Job! How many years of practice?

[@lixi9881]

what delay settings did you use to get the slapback? and do you know why my delay padle sounds so quiet?
