Ministry - Everyday Is Halloween (Instrumental Cover)

'Everyday Is Halloween' was released in 1984 by Ministry. The song was released by WaX Trax! Records. I created this cover using Cubase Artist 7.5, complete with James Brown screams and some cheesy record scratching!....software synths used are listed below:
Drums - Various Linn LM1 drum samples
2nd side stick - sampled from the remix version
Bell & Rapid Amb Bell - Kontakt Fairlight sample 'AmbiBellHi'
Bass - Arturia Prophet V
James Brown scream - sampled from 'Get Up Offa That Thing'
Percussion loop - sampled from the original song
Record scratching - DyScratch vst
Synth chords - OP-X Pro2 and Diva layered
Synth strings - TAL U-NO-LX

Wow. If someone had told me that this was an instrumental version of the actual Ministry track, I wouldn't have doubted it for a second. I've watched a few of your other covers also. Incredible stuff.

[@KM-dk5gn]

This is great! It actually sounds like an official instrumental of the original!

[@p1g5m0k3]

I thought it was at first. It sounds pretty much identical to me.

[@johnnyb31]

Super Impressed! no ones ever tried covering this before and if they have they failed half way or something because this is the only version ive found on YT. Thanks! and I speak for everyone here who will be Karaoke ING this song 😎 👍🖒

I had no idea this song was made in Chicago IL. Back in the 80s most of the music was being made in LA and NY. I live in WI so it is pretty cool hearing a great synth track from the sister city 🤟

[@Euthymia]

683 hours??? That is a labor of love, and I salute you!

[@ryanhunter226]

I'm not too fond of covers being nearly identical to the original, that being said, it is absolutely remarkable how spot on you are with it. Very impressive :)

[@PabloDeMode]

Amazing stuff, love what you did. Keep it coming!

[@therealrodney8561]

Vdublu909 whatever planet you came from banish me there for eternity! Again well done 10.10.10!👏🏿👏🏽👏🏿

[@Maschinestorm]

Pretty damn spot on. Almost certain every instrument used on the original is a vst now so this is entirely possible.

[@burlapdog2]

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

Please could you recreate CAPPELLA U Got 2 Let The Music, this track has some very impressive SYNTHS

[@AaronHungwell]

Great version! You still had to use a sample for the breakdowns it looks like

[@hermandadmejillones]

where you found the screaming sound of the 3:19 minute

[@lavey5418]

Yeah, where did you find it?

[@Krystian88able]

its a sample, especially used by Al of Ministry himself. Its from a funk song called "Get up offa that thing"

[@lavey5418]

@@Krystian88able woow that' s true thanks

[@heyguiz]

Great cover. Could you post your midi files somewhere?

[@nicholasvladd]

May I use this for a vocal cover? Would of course credit you and everything.

[@vdublu909]

ya, no problem...cheers!

[@Hazzard200008]

MAn, i'm impressed with your work. I'm trying to cover this song, but i have a lor of issues with the drums. Please, can you share your drum lines with me? I'll be eternally thankful. Greetings from México

[@benjaminmartinez6139]

Man, gotta ask. did u do this with guitar center gear , ? Gotta tip my hat to ya

[@d_bratlovsky]

Great job, dude! Awesome! How do you think, instrumental pack for "Everyday is halloween" are the same with "All day"?

[@DTWX]

Nice render. Is there an instrumental version of "Tech Noir" by GUNSHIP?

[@dmgore101]

Any chance I could trouble you with a direction how to get that beginning synth sound? It’s the first kind of trill after a few measures of the bass at the beginning.

[@staticdread2492]

Can someone please tell me the BPM of the song? I can't find it on the screen, thanks in advance.

[@vdublu909]

Static Dread 114.75 BPM

[@Kali-Yuga-Peace-Corp]

What key is this?

[@harleyvetsch4366]

The record scratching is off a tad it and isn't loud enough. Otherwise fantastic recreation.

[@samharper5881]

Every day** (there is a difference)

[@vdublu909]

On their 80's album 'Twelve Inch Singles' it's written 'Everyday Is Halloween'. On the original single I believe it's Everyday (Is Halloween)....take your pick I guess :)

[@samharper5881]

Yeah I noticed! :D I wasn't being pedantic; just thought you'd rather know if you didn't in case you wanted to change it.

[@samharper5881]

... Actually, The Smiths made the same mistake with their "Everyday is like Sunday"!

[@MannyMarr]

Everyday is like Sunday is like Sunday is Morrissey solo not the smiths

[@johnnyb31]

Manny Espinoza Bahahaha You got em there, poor Music Rookie hahaahahahahaha
