NightWish - Symphony Of Destruction

I'm sorry about the end. something messed up with moviemaker when i made it the song is only about well, 4 minutes i guess. well then you has no need to load the whole song at least XD and oh, i do not claim this song in any way, made by megadeth, played by nightwish.
oh one last thing, this is an Megadeath cover song. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch peoples heads
A'roll
A'roll
A'roll
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head
Explodes
Explodes
Explodes
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
[Solos]
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Stands tall
Stands tall
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Just like Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction

The verse riff just feels so powerful on this version...the heavy bass etc...

[@ArkhamVI]

Symphony of Destruction meets Symphonic Metal

[@TheCircusfreak777]

That bass is mind blowing!

[@latethom5952]

Wow! Your voice is pure epicness, and in composition with the sound of the band it makes this one of the best versions of this song. All his live performances are super professional. Greatest band! Lifelong fan brother. You deserve my regards!

[@sassycassy]

Thats Marco Hietala whos no longer with Nightwish

[@mmarocker]

WROOOOOOOOOAGH! PERKELE! Marco is freakin' amazing!

[@DannieKamete]

this is a cover that is as good as the original! Nightwish & Megadeth = two of the best bands ever!

[@jedsebastian]

the guitar outwork is insane, this band rocks big time

[@AndresMetalSubtitula]

That is what a cover is about, Take a song of other artist and put your own style. Megadeth is one of my favorite bands and this is a great cover.

[@Stitz5150]

What a great band covering a great song!!!!! All hail Nightwish and Megadeth!!!

[@wolfeh42]

I like this version a lot better, actually. The voice on this guy is just nothing short of epic.

[@brutalictesku]

Cool cover! Marco has great vocals

[@tristmist717]

You said this shit 12 years ago and not a single person liked or commented. I'm honored to be the first

[@theguyof360]

@@tristmist717 Refund the police

[@Robert_Douglass]

Mr Hietala would have you know it's Marko with a K. Ok, nitpick over.

[@Billyce18]

perfect cover! we cant forget it is live...soh it's perfect

[@MrDarksword123]

Both versions are great, not sure which one I like more

[@killyou45]

The way this guy's voice carries and cuts through is insane. Unreal voice.

[@SGTBizarro]

When you've become accustomed to Marco's voice, this sounds epic, though yes, it is different from the original. If you are accustomed to Mustaine's voice and their style, this version probably sounds odd at first. It's not like they're out to butcher the song, they are paying tribute to a band which THEY ALSO RESPECT! Take it or leave it. And if you ever happen to listen to any Nightwish, you will actually see that Marco (to be honest) has 10x the vocal talent Mustaine does. So stop hating.

[@layol692k7]

I agree i know this an old post but Marcos voice so much better in my opinion

[@theguyof360]

but not guitar talent :p

[@Nrde]

@@theguyof360 well, he's a bass player first, then guitar.

[@ravonrayne]

I'm new to Nightwish, but love Marko's voice in the Phantom of the Opera cover. Growing up listening to the Dave Mustaine version, this is definitely different, but it's a badass type of different. They each have wicked voices.

[@spectraldistortion]

THIS IS AMAZING! FUCKING INSANE!!! ESPECIALLY THE CHORUS!

[@MrShapo4ever]

Awesome..

[@JJfan48]

Thank you Nightwish for getting me into Megadeth \m/!!!!!

[@MAGNETMETALLICA]

BAD ASS!!!

[@kaelanime7750]

Almost as good as Megadeth. Hail Metal!! \m/\m/

[@Jez3134]

Wow one of the best cover songs Ive heard. Hard to top an already awesome song but they did a good job

[@tekken19901]

I wish they cover more megadeth songs

[@stam1ska]

Epic music, epic voice. I love the cover! Megadeth rules!

[@emperror85]

I actually think this is a way better version than the original. Megadeath's is a bit bland.

[@YoRHaNo.9TypeS]

same

[@Qthetar]

What you smoking?

[@lurker06]

As far as covers go, this is definitely badass!

[@MrNumberNine9]

Better than the original in my opinion.

[@finarm]

this man knows the shit, i hate people who come and comment on covers saying it was a nice "try" or some shit like that, it wasnt a try to fucking mimic the original song but do it their own way, tribute

[@deviltriggerinc]

well said, metallica has made to legendary of music to fall short of anyone, even today...

[@xwithintemptationx]

oh dude this is awesome.

[@jaydekonah]

omg im so excited for this a nightwish cogver of megadeath.................. dream come true

[@eleannw]

Marco, you're a God of Metal......

[@PommesfeeKCvail]

This cover is awesome \m/

[@KornOil]

honestly, i think this was a very interesting vocals take on the song. i liked it.

[@Nukeme66]

another Amazing cover of this amazing song thats just "amazing"!

[@Replikaattoripelaa]

@ivokreso This is Nightwish. I've seen NW's live performance of this song in metal festival Sauna Open Air 2004. The guys used to play some cover song while Tarja takes a break and changes outfit. You can find this song in 'Kuolema tekee taiteilijan' -single.

[@Kenkatsu17]

AMAZING cover. i came here expecting to be disappointed but WHOA.

[@paisley12345]

a mighty fine cover

[@lizafreak]

amazing, and I've never heard nightwish before. when the vocals kicked in I shat bricks

[@stefanslavkovic8316]

This is awesome

[@serpentskiss3]

Gotta love the trained vocals!!! \m/

[@swordcollection]

OH MY GOD.THE WAY HE SING IT CRACKS ME UP.IT'S hillarious

[@Pleeffleep]

color me impressed. I think i've become the newest Nightwish fan.

[@navebucketdude]

best cover of this song

[@julioserna5659]

That chorus !! Man ,, powerful!!!

[@risases]

Its very very gooooooooD!!

[@Kajimadoushi]

OMFG How come i never came upon this song earlier?! I love both Nightwish and Megadeth :O

[@Smack23Raw23ECW23]

NICE VIDEO DUDE

[@jintlejea]

Fair play! Let's just leave it at that!

[@Elintasokas]

I have to admit, i like this more than the Megadeth original. The keyboards in the chorus just make it so much better.

[@RottenMemorial]

sounds different for ovious reasons but for me its a good cover, its not about making a song sound better than the original, but a tribute to that classic song

[@berttie77]

There's something about the guys accent that adds so much energy to this cover. Not 'better' than the original but a great cover none-the-less

[@gp75motorsports]

@ThePefger It's Nightwish. Every show, their female singer would go backstage and change dresses, allowing Marco to sing a song or two.Dunno whether they're still doing that or not, though, since they got a new singer in '05.

[@rufuguru]

This is awesome. How could you not like it?

[@julioserna5659]

I love this cover !!

[@gyula47236]

BRUTAL

[@DoomShroom93]

Yes there are, nightwish' lead singer has always been a female.

[@engasal]

ok that was just brutal

[@DuskWolf224]

You take a mortal man And put him in control Watch him become a God Watch peoples heads A'roll A'roll A'roll ... Light Yagami! Anyway, awesome song! Awesome cover

[@Niamorg1007]

yeah absolutely

[@PuNkRaJoCy]

ohhhhhhh nightwish with this song??????? cool!!!!! great! perfect, wi!!!!

[@Kazuath]

Nobody should sing a Megadeth song but Dave, nice to see someone appreciate him though.

[@7600fan]

still the best cover i say, and the tune is sounds good too

[@slipknottard]

PERRRRRKELE!

[@AntoFAXX]

Symphonic + Megadeth + Hell yeah \m/

[@DURIO321]

WOOT! awesome@@

[@chanyongyaw]

The band is Nightwish, they are a symphonic metal band. They have a female lead singer, but sometimes one of the guys take over the vocals for certain songs. Check them out - really cool band.

[@MrVictor555]

Awesome

[@shabatdati]

it's hard to listen to the original song after listening to this- such a great cover

[@sh3nw00]

sir, you are a genious x)...

[@The_Buff_Guy]

@rmarino4471 Now that took me just under 4 minutes to write. If I wanted to tab the chorus, it'd probably fill in the next minute or so. Maybe 2 minutes. And that would complete the song. I know it must be hard to read, and it's not proper because I'm showing you in a comment box, but at least you understand now how easy SoD is to tab. The chorus is basically stringing bar chords starting at the A string, 9th fret with a slight mixup. Now I end this by saying SoD is one of Megadeth's BEST!!!

[@MiryamLloyd]

*w* So cute :3

[@Jack95701]

Former band of Sinergy with Marco and one female vocalist, those guys are nowadays mainly Children of bodom .But he has done many kind of side projects as well even blues,etc..so not just Tarot or Nightwish .

[@wrestlerKSE]

dang, better then i would of thought wow.

[@ellessaar22]

Wow, why there's so many haters? They made this cover, because they LOVE this song, so as YOU, megadeth fans. So they made it, didn't release it on any ALBUM, it's only live version. It's a surprise it's on the Internet, because they covered the song only for purpose to play it during the break in one of their concerts, to give a rest to Tarja. Damn haters.

[@MrGiorgosHellas]

wow, great cover

[@CorazonRguez]

"This guy"? He's D-Viking! If you wanna see other covers sung by Marco, you can also look for Northern Kings. It's his cover band. NK is a band formed by the 4 best metal musicians from Finland. ;) I personally LOVE "Don't stop believing". But you can also see TAROT, another band of him ;).

[@spankadameataballsbrown3309]

i bet itd sound fucking epic after some practice in the studio. this was a live performance of a song they likely dont do often. i can hear what he was TRYING to do, and it should have been fucking badass.

[@RockVoice4Real]

They do it justice for sure

[@Natashaaaaaaaa]

I love the vocals

[@6669Nightshade]

Love this cover, Symphonic Metal just rules xD \m/

[@liquidchilldnb349]

Haha Pure Epicness

[@yockeloverboy]

great cover! done in nightwish style... what more can anyone expect???

[@Robert_Douglass]

The full Nightwish experience at the time would have included both Marko Hietala and Tarja Turunen. I wonder how her voice would likely have control to the effort?

[@VostokNNL]

This is great cover of great song!!!!

[@TheGreatAbaddon]

why the hate? this is a good cover. just becouse their style is different doesnt make it bad

[@gandalfs284]

coooool, its really cool, but i still prefer megadeth's original song xP but still like it =) thx for posting, somebody told me they did it but i didnt find it until i found ur channel

[@AnnoyingSensei]

This one is pretty good!

[@derkommissar1917]

There are very few people in this world who should have the right to cover Dave Mustaine's work. Marco Hietala is one of those people.

[@Stratocaster777]

the only thing that is missing is a nice cold blooded speedy solo, marco's voice kicks ass!!!

[@CreeCore94]

synth in the background is awesome

[@rockstribute]

@CaptKirby18 this is because he is the backing vocalist as the lead singer is a girl and had to have breaks because she has an amazing opera voice

[@700mxzx]

Not sure on the cover but, the guitar tone is fuckin sick man, and the drums are tight as hell....

[@kenyero34]

Alucinante

[@TheOrangeIsThirsty]

I dont know why everyone is bashing this song. Its pretty good. A cover should'nt sound exactly the same as the original. Its a bands vision of the song. I like Megadeth and Nightwish btw.

[@solgast]

Awsome song! Like Nightwish alot!

[@PRIMAX1967]

A cover is not a photocopy of the original. And i think that it's great that bands give them their own personal touch.

[@jellofuel]

I like this more than the original. Thumbs up!!

[@deathrocker0666]

hell yea dude

[@The_Buff_Guy]

@rmarino4471 Take out the solo, and yes, it's pretty easy to make the tabs for Symphony happen. Low E - F chord, E chord, E chord. F, E, E (all chords), E string (1,3,1 - F E E (all chords)). Repeat 3 more times. There's the songs beginning. Half fast, yes. This is a comment box. Pre Chorus: E - 0,0 - A+D - 7,6,5, (while plucking the E string in between each chord), 5h7,5 on the D string after the A+D chords (repeat this 7 times). Next, E - 0,0,0 A - 5v A - 1,0, E - 4,3,2,1, E chord (run-down).

[@34pedroferreira]

Waht an amazing voice :O
